I'm using HTTPService with a POST operation to submit a Base64 encoded file (taken from bitmap data within the app) but I could really do with getting some idea of the progress of the POST operation (e.g. like the FileReference.upload()). I don't think this is possible, but it would be awesome if it is (via any means, I'm willing to cha...
I have 2 components for example (editor.mxml using mx:windows), when I click an edit button, I want to get the current value from the other component's datafield? (datagrid.mxml using mx:window) I do know how to access the main MXML's datagrid by parentDocument or Application.application method, but stumped block if I want to access oth...
I'm doing a project where we play multiple videos back to back, and if we load them the normal way by providing a stream url, there is a load delay each time we start the next video. I've looked through Adobe's docs for both Flash and Flex, and I can't find a way to pre-load the videos. Embedding them is not workable in this applicatio...
This pdf paper describes a way to manage cross-domain communication using JavaScript with a bit of help from the server. Does anyone have experience with this approach? I know CrossSafe has an implementation, but it's pretty quiet over there. (NSFW spam in that group.) While we're here, does anyone know of a good flash bridge? I'm O...
Our Flex app automatically resizes with the browser window, we've addressed a whole bunch of scaling issues quite easily but one that remains is tooltips. They show in the wrong location on screen, not being scaled properly based on the window size. Since tooltips are positioned automatically, how can we address this? To clarify I am us...
When I am editing a cell in a dataGrid, the changes are not applied to the dataProvider until I finish editing. Is there a way that I can make the changes appear in the dataProvider whilst editing? I would assume that the way of doing this would be to subclass the editor I am using, in this case NumericStepper, but I don't know how I w...
I want to submit the values of a flex form to a ColdFusion cfc. If I have a flex form (see below) is the data in the form an object? Or do I have to create an object based on the id's in the form and then pass that new object to the coldfusion component? <mx:Form x="10" y="10" width="790" id="myFrom" defaultButton="{createReport}"> ...
I am having a problem with binding values in my ActionScript components. I basically want to set the value of a a variable in my component to a value in the model, and have the component variable automatically update when the model value is updated. I think that I just don't fully understand how data binding works in Flex - this is not a...
Hi, I'm working on a multilingual flex application that has to run in 27+ languages, including asian, hebrew and arabic, as well as all european languages. We work with an embedded font (Myriad Pro) and have plenty of styles in a css that make use of that embedded font. We've tested with a modified version of Myriad including all non w...
My TileList has allowMultipleSelection on. I am using itemClick to call a function. I can use listEvent.currentTarget.selectedItem to determine what object was just clicked on if I am selecting, but when I ctrl + click to deselect an item, it automatically selects something else in the TileList, thus changing the selectedItem. It seems l...
I have been building enterprise software for the last 10 years. In this time we have seen enterprise applications move from client server to thin clients. We have also seen the move to hosted solutions, albeit under a few names (asp, SaaS, cloud computing). With all these changes the impetuous has been mainly from driven from the IT d...
I have created an ashx handler that returns an image to my flex app. If I go directly to the url for example (www.mysite.com/handler.ashx?id=34) the browser will display the image. If you set the source of an image control in flex to the same address. I get "Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type.". Any hints ...
Is there any reason why there isn't an addAll() function available when using ArrayCollections in Actionscript? I've been using for loops to individually add them one at a time using addItem(). Is this common or is there a more convenient way? ...
When using .contains() on an ArrayCollection in Flex, it will always look at the memory reference. It does not appear to look at an .equals() method or .toString() method or anything overridable. Instead, I need to loop through the ArrayCollection every time and check each individual item until I find what I'm looking for. Does anyone...
Using flex 3 with the coldfusion plugin, can I not write a standalone coldfusion class which I can invoke from my flex website (mxml)? Thanks ...
Has anyone run into this problem? All I am doing in tabbing from one TextInput component to another. I have reduced my TitleWindow (the container for the TextInputs) down to only these two components and I still get this error. I assumed that it had something to do with my flashplayer install, so I uninstalled and re-installed, but I st...

I wish to pass many small PNG files as base64 encoded URIs within an XML response, but there seems to be no way to make flex present these images. I was thinking of the data uri scheme, but it appears not to be supported. Proposed solutions Use Loader.LoadBytes Tried it and it doesn't seem to work (none of the events are triggered)....
It's possible within a Flex application, to declare elements, for example a HTTPService elements, both in XML and also in code. That is, either: ... or in code: var hs : HTTPService = ... My question is when should I prefer which alternative? What are the advantages of having stuff in XML vs. plain old vars in code? ...
Hi, I'm completely new to Flex and am just having a play with a sample application from the Mate framework. I'm hacking on Linux so I'm using the command prompt and a text editor rather than Flex Builder. The sample app has two folders in its root directory lib & src. Lib contains a dependency. How can I compile the mxml file in src, s...
