I have some sprites that the users can manipulate, drag around and resize. Now I'd like to be able to display text in those sprites. I've tried lots of, probably stupid, ways. Like inheriting from Label and adding a Label child to the sprite, but no text shows up. One disturbing thing: Inheriting from Label I get the text to show up if...
Does anyone know if there is a simple way of catching the hovered link url in an AIR HTML control? Just like in a browser, I would like the url to be displayed in a status bar but I can't find any event that is raised on rollover of a link. Do you I need to inspect and perhaps manipulate the DOM myself for that? ...
Just googling on the web, it looks like you can't. It seems you need the Flex builder. I was trying to avoid the fully GUI tool. Is there a way to bypass this? ...
I'm no expert in audio, so if any of you folks are, I'd appreciate your insights on this. My client has a handful of MP3 podcasts stored at a relatively high bit rate, and I'd like to be able to serve those files to her users at "different" bit rates depending on that user's credentials. (For example, if you're an authenticated user, y...
Anyone have an example of doing something like an image map in Flex? I'm not sure if that is the correct term, since I also want to do things like highlight the selected part of the image or show a popup bubble pointing to it. Any ideas? ...

I'm starting a new job Monday and part of the job description is to maintain outsourced Flash web pages that only consist of Rich UI Forms and very little animations. I don't have any experience with Flash or Flex but being a programmer the Flex IDE appears to be much more suitable to me, which brings me to my question: Can I maintain ...
So I have a module in flex in which I add a custom component. I also have a class that handles the data I want to show, lets call this class DataHandler. The DataHandler receives data from the back-end solution and then starts putting the data togheter for my Module and the custom component. When the data is ready it dispatches an eve...
What is the best way to implement async json socket communication between Flex client and custom server? Is there a library that can listen to socket and fire event when complete json message/object is raceived? EDIT: I know that I can use Socket and listen to SOCKET_DATA event, but that triggers event whenever new data is received, wh...
I'm creating an Adobe Flex application and I have a Text control (mx:Text), which is supposedly used when you need multiline noneditable text (as opposed to a Label, which is single line noneditable text). My text control does not wrap when I resize the browser window to be smaller than the text (or load it with the browser window alrea...

I am building a web based application written in ASP.NET and Flex. One of my biggest challenges is implementing security for the application in a flexible and maintainable way.

My co-worker is challenged with taking user input in Flex and using that data to execute commands on a USB device. We figured we would need to have a socket server running on the machine in order to do this. We want to send objects with byte arrays etc, not just strings. Is there anything out there that could help us? Do we need to writ...
I'm trying to write an ant build script to build my group's flex app, and I've run into some roadblocks that I'm hoping someone on SO has seen before. We have two projects that we build into SWCs and these components contain resource bundles. One SWC requires the other SWC. We have one project that we build into our application (the SWF...
Given: A Flex TileList with the following event: <mx:nativeDragDrop> <![CDATA[ if(event.clipboard.hasFormat(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT)) { var files:Array = event.clipboard.getData(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT) as Array; for each(var file:File in files) { // file.data is null here! } ...
Apparently, in Flash 10, you can use the GPU to calculate shaders, and if the user doesn't have a compatible gpu, it falls back to the cpu. The problem is that the cpu is very slow to calculate the filters, it would be nice to detect if it can't use the gpu, and use fewer effects. Is it possible to detect using actionscript if it's using...
Asking on behalf of my coworker: We're working on a Facebook app that uses Flash 9 (and Flex, but that's not really relevant). We've got a fairly complex system of drawing an object with accessories over it, where the accessories can have arbitrary scale, rotation, and position relative to the base object. We recently started adding m...
I currently maintain an application that's written in Flash 8 (AS2) which is used to embed and control some auto-generated SWFs. The auto-generated SWFs are also Flash 8 (actually, they work at least in 7, possibly even older), so my current app is able to directly reference variables and functions within the embedded SWF. We're now wo...
