I have a 'framework' in Flex which loads and destroys child 'sections', which are instances of module classes. These have a lot of webservice and animation in them and are part of a public facing site. Before I remove a section from the screen I call a 'hideSection()' interface method on the instance. In this method I fade out any contr...
I'm looking for the best way to tell if an <mx:Image> has already fired the 'Event.COMPLETE' event. I want to do something if it has shown, or attach an event handler if it hasnt yet. something like : if (newBackground.percentLoaded < 100) or if (newBackground.content != null) i was originally doing newBackground.content != null, ...
When you start a Flex drag action, you pass in a proxy image to be displayed when you drag across the screen. When the drop occurs, I want to be able to grab this proxy but I can't find a way to from the DragEvent object. Is it possible? What I want is to actually drop the dragged image when the mouse button is released... Flex automati...

I need to be able to contribute to a relatively large Adobe AIR project and I'm starting from scratch with this technology. What's the best way to go about it? I usually get a good book/tutorial and work my way through it but this time it seems there's just too much to learn for this to be feasible within a reasonable time frame. I woul...
I have a large (700kb) Flex .swf file representing the main file of a site. For performance testing I wanted to try and move it off to Amazon S3 hosting (which i have already done with certain videos and large files). I went ahead and did that, and updated the html page to reference the remote .swf. It turns out that Flash will load...
I am attempting to import mxml files that I developed with Emacs into a new project in FlexBuilder...I have created a project and manually added all my MXML and actionscript files into FlexBuilder. I now can't figure out how to run the application. I believe the problem lies in the fact that FlexBuilder believes that all my mxml files ...
I'm new to Flex, although not new to programming. I want to write a generic event handler that will be called by all my textinput boxes when they receive focus. When they have focus, I want to change the colour of the textinput box. When they lose focus, I want to restore the "inactive" color profile. I could write an ActionScript even...
I'm working on some Flex spike in my company. We are basically evaluating different scenarios etc. What solution would you recommend for embedding Flex components into Java app? Flex <-> Java communication is not (yet...) an issue, just embedding swf into JFrame. ...
How can I use command line arguments in a creationComplete event handler? It seems the invoke event happens in my AIR app after creationComplete gets called, so I can't use the args in that function, although I really would like to. Any other event that might always fire after the invoke event happens? ...
In a Flex / Java app stack using remoting (via BlazeDS), classes to hold data passed back and forth between client and server need to be maintained in both the client (in ActionScript) and server (in Java). I want a way to maintain theses classes in Java only, and have the corresponding ActionScript value object classes generated by the...
Looking at tooltip support in Flex, I've seen you can apply colors and styles to modify the appearance. Is it possible to do cooler stuff like make tool tips appear with a simple animation like how menus work on modern Windows apps? ...
Goal: Allow the user to delete a record by dragging a row from an AdvancedDataGrid, dropping it onto a trash-can icon and verify the user meant to do that via a popup alert with "OK" and "Cancel" buttons. What is working: Dragging/Dropping a row onto the trash icon. If the user clicks the "OK" button, the record is deleted....
My Flash (AS3/AIR) application is currently using a slightly unusual architecture (for a Flash app) to provide particular base classes for loaded content at runtime. The external content is published with 'stub' base classes, which are eclipsed by the 'real' base classes at runtime when it is loaded. I've heard this referred to by Adobe ...
Hi there, Just a few quick questions from me: What is the best way to inserting a Flash SWF file into a flex, that will enable me to have it start from frame 0 on reentry of that framework? Would this be States, Viewstack? Is there a way of using forward and back buttons to navigate through displaying a set of States rather than selec...
In my program, I have been receiving an error when I use a command-line compile command for mxmlc. The error is related to an embedded font name not being correctly identified by flex in the system fonts list. However, on a whim, I decided to copy the code to Flex Builder and compile it there. To my surprise, it worked, and it found the...

I need to display a small (15x15 pixel) animation in a Flex app. I have it FLV format, but it could be converted to somthing else. I'd prefer to have the file embedded in the app (it's only 8k in size). I've seen posts about displaying animated GIFs using third-party code which would be OK, but is there a way to do this with the nativ...
