I've been using flash for a long time, mostly as an animation tool with a little dabbling in actionscript. Over the years I've moved from mostly making animations to mostly making small flash games or proof of concepts in my spare time. I've been very reluctant to learn as3 as I am not much of a programmer, but a friend of mine convinced...
This is seriously killing me. I'm trying to convert a Unix timestamp (1236268800, which equates to Thu, 05 Mar 2009 16:00:00 GMT) to a Date object in Flex. var timestamp:Number = 1236268800; trace(new Date(timestamp)); Output: Wed Jan 14 23:24:28 GMT-0800 1970 Also tried this: var timestamp:Number = 1236268800; var date:Date = new D...
I would like to prevent a user dragging certain items from one TileList to another. Whether or not they can be dropped into the TileList should be determined based on data associated with the item. To show that the item cannot be dragged into the TileList I would like to show the normal white cross in red circle icon next to the cursor...
I found a Flash program online that would be perfect for a project I'm working on. Obviously with web content you can usually just use your browser to view the source code of whatever HTML, PHP, etc that you may be looking at. But when it comes to Flash it seems we're left in the dark in terms of viewing source code. Is there any way to...
I'm new to Flex and done a few application with only client side programming. Now I'm trying to do the back-end stuff using PHP. Can some one explain where(which folder) to put the PHP file for the Flex file to communicate with PHP. I'm using Flexbuilder 3 IDE. Thanks ...
Let me start off by saying that I'm pretty new to flex and action script. Anyways, I'm trying to create a custom event to take a selected employee and populate a form. The event is being dispatched (the dispatchEvent(event) is returning true) but the breakpoints set inside of the handler are never being hit. Here is some snippets of my...
I am using Flex and I am tired of having to manually place files in the right folders whenever I want to do a publish. I'd like to do a publish when the build suceeds. Is there a quick way, using Nant (not my current build tool of choice), to automate this? I have a virtual directory on my PC which is my hosting directory. Thanks ...
In a Flex application, I'm have an xml object that I'm binding to a tree control. I'm able to add a child node to the xml but when I try to add a child to the child node it doesn't appear on the tree control tree = <node label="Root"> <node label="Category 1"/> <node label="Category2"/> ...

I'm trying to load preview thumbnails of high resolution images and the application needs to be able to load 100 hi rez images at one time.

I have a simple Grid control with some buttons that I want to be able to move around. The code below does work, but it takes a lot of effort to actually do the drag&drop and it is not clear where the drop will happen. I have to move the mouse around a lot to get to a state where the drop is not rejected. I would appreciate any suggestion...
Unless I'm missing something obvious here, there is no way of disbabling one or more rows in a DataGrid. I would expect a disabledRows or disabledRowIndidices property on the DataGrid or List component but that doesn't seem to exist. I found a "rendererArray" property which is scoped to mx_internal and contains all itemrenderers of all ...
By default, the Flex DateChooser highlights the 'today' date. I assume it gets this date from the OS. Is there a way to tell DateChooser what the 'today' date should be? ...
I have to show a line chart with two series, each with "date-value" since the dates can be very far apart in each serie they have their own horizontal axis. The problem is when i add an animation to the series, the animations start looping and never stop. My question is: Am i doing something wrong? or is this a bug in flex chart? does an...
Support for generics (currently only Vector.<*>, and called 'postfix type parameters' by Adobe) was added in Flash Player 10, but the only AVM2 documentation does not describe how these objects are accessed. Specifically, I noticed a new opcode (0x53) and a new multiname kind (0x1D) that seem relevant, but their usage is not documented....

Hi, I have a Flex movie that contains a text input box and an (optional) dropdown. The design requires that this dropdown fall below the lower edge of the movie, overlapping the HTML below it. I can set wmode to transparent and can get the dropdown to overlap the HTML fine but then the HTML below is unselectable, even when the dropdown...
