I have a graphical application that renders text to BitmapData - right now it's hardcoded to use a specific font, and that's fine for testing, but for production I really need it to be style-able. The rest of the application uses specific fonts, and I want to be able to just use a stylename (the style of the font) to create a TextFormat...
What is the best way to determine if a component in Flex/Flash is showing on the user's screen? I'm looking for an analog to Java's Component.isShowing() method.

I have a local SQLite database that contains a tree (as Nested Sets). In an AIR application, I want to display that tree in a tree control and provide means to change the nodes' names and copy, move, add or delete nodes.

I'm using the Adobe livedocs for learning and looking up on Flex development, specifically the Flex 3 Help, the Flex Language reference and the AIR developer's guide. While these provide a good starting point, the quality is not, let's say, overwhelming. There's regular mistakes in the examples, some of the texts are redundant, or too s...
I'm developing a Flex 2 application, and I noticed that part of the library which is responsible for moving GUI windows (TitleWindows) around when you drag them with the mouse gets confused if there is a clickable (buttonMode = true) sprite beneath them. When I say confused, I mean that the window is moved around normally for a while, bu...

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to have a the text in a single label control displayed in more than one style. e.g. I have a label I want the the text to appear with the style "english" (which it does), but I want the "th" of the text to be different (bold, different colour, whatever). So, the question in a nutshell is: Is there ...
In my Flex3 app I have some floating windows which contain variable amounts of text. The windows are meant to be user-resizable. Currently, while I can resize the windows OK, I can't get the text in a TextArea in the window to re-flow when the window is resized. I've come across blog postings that there's a size bug in TextArea that mean...

Hello, I have an swc which needs to operate slightly differently depending on whether it is being hosted by AIR or not. I've seen two suggestions on the internet: Test Application.application for WindowedApplication. Test Security.sandboxType for Security.APPLICATION. However, these don't seem to work in my .swc as the compiler can'...

As a side project, for "fun," I'm rewriting my blog and CMS in Flex and AIR respectively, and while I'm pretty well satisfied with the design thus far, the one major pain point remains working with (which is to say performing CRUD operations on) legacy HTML content, and rendering that HTML content decently in both the browser and the Fla...
I am completely new to Flex. Can I realistically develop, say, a medium complex application with the Flex SDK alone, or do I need Flex Builder? Also, apart from the SDK, what will I need to get started? Thanks for any help. ...
I have a Flash library with Sprite symbols composed of other sprites with design-time applied filters.

Hello all, I need to convert a datagrid table in Adobe Flex to an ArrayCollection. I was expecting to be able to loop through each row of a datagrid and write that to the Array collection, but the only method for accessing data in the datagrid that I can find is SelectedItem, which doesn't help me. Obviously one could just copy the da...
