I have a Flex swf hosted at http://www.a.com/a.swf. I have a flash code on another doamin that tries loading the SWF: _loader = new Loader(); var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://services.nuconomy.com/n.swf"); _loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onLoaderFinish); _loader.load(req); On the onLoaderFinish even...
I cannot figure out how to change the title bar icon (the icon in the furthest top left corner of the application) in Adobe AIR. It is currently displaying the default 'Adobe AIR' red icon. I have been able to change it in the system tray, however. ...
I've got a combobox that sits inside of a panel in Flex 3. Basically I want to fade the panel using a Fade effect in Actionscript. I can get the fade to work fine, however the label of the combobox does not fade. I had this same issue with buttons and found that their fonts needed to be embedded. No problem. I embedded the font that...
I have a flex application that needs the ability to generate and execute JavaScript. When I say this, I mean I need to execute raw JavaScript that I create in my Flex application (not just an existing JavaScript method) I am currently doing this by exposing the following JavaScript method: function doScript(js){ eval(js);} I can then...
My company develops several types of applications. A lot of our business comes from doing multimedia-type apps, typically done in Flash. However, now that side of the house is starting to migrate towards doing Flex development. Most of our other development is done using .NET. I'm trying to make a push towards doing Silverlight devel...
I have a simple little test app written in Flex 3 (MXML and some AS3). I can compile it to a SWF just fine, but I'd like to make it into an EXE so I can give it to a couple of my coworkers who might find it useful. With Flash 8, I could just target an EXE instead of a SWF and it would wrap the SWF in a projector, and everything worked ...
I have a ComboBox that I bind to a standard HTTPService, I would like to add an event listener so that I can run some code after the ComboBox is populated from the data provider. How can I do this? ...
I'm starting developing with Flex on my Mac but i don't find good tools to ease the development (apart from Flex Builder). What is your favourite choice for Flex development on Mac? ...
Looking for a way to display a PDF in Flex. I'm sure there are several ways. Looking for the easiest to maintain / integrate / most user friendly. I'm guessing it's possible to display a browser window in the app and render it, but if it goes off of IE / FireFox it's not acceptable for this project. Thanks... ...
It seems that it is impossible to capture the keyboard event normally used for copy when running a Flex application in the browser or as an AIR app, presumably because the browser or OS is intercepting it first. Is there a way to tell the browser or OS to let the event through? For example, on an AdvancedDataGrid I have set the keyUp e...
I am experiencing some oddities when working with a Grid component in flex, I have the following form that uses a grid to align the fields, as you can see, each GridRow has a border, my problem is that the border is still visible through GridItems that span multiple rows (observe the TextArea that spans 4 rows, the GridRow borders go rig...
I have a swf with loads text into a Sprite that resizes based on the content put into - I'd like though for the ones that are longer than the page to have the browser use its native scroll bars rather than handle it in actionscript (very much like http://www.nike.com/nikeskateboarding/v3/...) I did have a look at the stuff nike did but ...
I run Flex Builder 3 on a mac and as my project grows - the compile time gets longer and longer and longer. I am using some SWC's and there is a fair amount of code but it shouldn't take minutes to build and crash daily should it? ...
I have a Flex ComboBox that gets populated by a dataprovider all is well... I would now like to add a default " -- select a item --" option at the 0 index, how can I do this and still use a dataprovider? I have not seen any examples of such, but I can't imagine this being hard... ...
We've been using Flex for about 6 months here at work, and I found that my first batches of FlexUnit tests involving custom components would tend to follow this sort of pattern: import mx.core.Application; import mx.events.FlexEvent; import flexunit.framework.TestCase; public class CustomComponentTest extends TestCase {...
Doug McCune had created something that was exactly what I needed (http://dougmccune.com/blog/2007/05/10/analyze-your-actionscript-code-with-this-apollo-app/) but alas - it was for AIR beta 2. I just would like some tool that I can run that would provide some decent metrics...any idea's? ...
I'm currently using and enjoying using the Flex MVC framework PureMVC. I have heard some good things about Cairngorm, which is supported by Adobe and has first-to-market momentum. And there is a new player called Mate, which has a good deal of buzz. Has anyone tried two or three of these frameworks and formed an opinion? Thanks! ...
Is there any way to have a binary compiled from an ActionScript 3 project print stuff to stdout when executed? From what I've gathered, people have been going around this limitation by writing hacks that rely on local socket connections and AIR apps that write to files in the local filesystem, but that's pretty much it -- it's obviously...
I have an actionscript file that defines a class that I would like to use inside a Flex application. I have defined some custom controls in a actionscript file and then import them via the application tag: <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:scorecard="com.apterasoftware.scorecard.controls.*" ... ...
Is it realistic to try and learn and code a Flex 3 application without purchasing FlexBuilder? Since the SDK and BlazeDS are open source, it seems technically possible to develop without Flex Builder, but how realistic is it. I would like to test out Flex but don't want to get into a situation where I am dependent on the purchase of Fle...
