I'm using framework RSL in a bid to reduce my SWF filesize. I'm using Flex Builder to compile the SWF. I notice a substantial size reduction when I compile with RSLs in my SWF. However the framework SWF which is created is pretty big. What do I do with the newly created framework SWF? Do I place this on my server and let flash player p...
My Cairngorm program does some preliminary authentication against a RemoteObject before allowing Cairngorm's ServiceLocator to start using the same RemoteObject to get business data. Everything works fine with Flex Builder, but I need an Ant build. The Ant mxmlc task compiles everything ok, but at runtime the resulting code fails at th...
My team works mostly w/ Flex-based applications. That being said, there are nearly no conventions at all (even getting them to refactor is a miracle in itself) and the like. Coming from a .NET + CruiseControl.NET background, I've been aching to getting everyone to use some decent tracking software (we're using a todo list coded in PHP n...
I have something like this 1.mxml <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="init()"> <mx:Script source="_Public.as"/> </mx:Application> _public.as [Bindable] public var config:XML; public function init():void { var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("config/config.xml"); try { loader.l...
I'm using the AIR update framework (ApplicationUpdaterUI), and whenever the user updates the application, a new desktop icon gets created (overwriting any existing desktop icon there). Is there a way to suppress this behaviour, or can someone suggest a workaround? Here's the situation: Our AIR app uses a separate bootstrapping applicat...
Hi there, Currently I'm working on an application (Flex) which heavily uses external SWFs. I'd like to create a static method which takes a filename as an argument and returns SWF wrapped in some other class. public static function getSWFWrapperFromFile(path:string):SWFWrapper { var loader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader(); loader.ad...
I'm working on a flex app, and I have Flash & AS3 experience up to now. I have text file I need to request using URLLoader, so I placed it in the same directory as the SWF deploy > maps > map1.txt but when run the SWF I get the following error *** Security Sandbox Violation *** SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file file:///Users/him/D...
Right now I'm trying to understand how Flex works with Java (Flex -> BlazeDS -> Java). I tried to follow THIS tutorial and everything works fine, I just don't understand why do we need to call java function this way: <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent; import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent; //...
I have custom list item renderers and editors for a List control. I need for the editor to have a greater height then the renderer, i.e., the row should expand(in height) when it goes into edit mode. However, even when the list's variableRowHeight is set to true, it doesn't do what I want: the height seems to be based on the height of th...
Ok so this is kind of urgent at this point. I have a large-scale AIR application that is pigging out left and right, and by massive amounts of trace statements and generating my own stack traces (useful for debugging), I have found that each combo-box is getting it's lookup from the LookupManager class multiple times, equating to about 3...
I'm writing a flex program in an OO manner and I've got to the point of creating a ViewStack to hold various panels. My problem is that when I add a panel to the ViewStack it throws the aforementioned error. No doubt the answer is pretty obvious so here's the constructor for the manager class that holds my ViewStack. stack = new ViewS...
I've added functions to the Date prototype and I am wondering where is the best place to put the code in a Flex project? ...
Hello, I'm retrieving an GUID from a webservice with Flex. With this GUID i have to retrieve an Username from the webservice. The output gives me a "The key supplied is invalid. It must be of type System.Guid." I looked everywhere for a solution, but I can't find the right answer. Anyone? Thanks! edited: Is there a way to convert a ...
I have a tree control with checkboxes next to each node that allows for checked, unchecked and middle checked states on the nodes. When clicking a node, the parent and children are updated. The code I found that does the trick uses bit shifting and I'm trying to understand what exactly is happening. Can someone explain the following cod...
Has anyone gotten Adobe Flex and erlang to connect to each other? A number of people talk about this on various blogs, but I haven't seen a working solution yet. Flex and erlang would form a real best-of-breed combination. Thanks. Dean ...
I'm working on a Flex/Rails app. I've got a model with a has_many :through association that I'm trying to create. I've got it working with checkboxes on the plain rails pages, with the help of blogs like Paul Barry's has-many-through-checkboxes. Now I'm trying to get Flex to do the same and am having difficulty on how to send the equival...
I have a dilemma which I seem to share with many others: Flex or Silverlight? What I would like to develop is a web video/audio chat that would be a Skype killer and conquer the world. On a serious note, I think the time for a ubiquitous video/audio service that can be run in a Web browser (read: zero installation) is just ripe. But what...
I'm attempting to test a Flex application in which Objects do not have static IDs. I'd like to use FunFX for automation, since it can easily be kicked off from a Linux shell. This said, FunFX doesn't appear to contain functions which allow users to access children via their parent objects (e.g. parent.get_child_at(<index>) or parent.ch...
Okay, this one is REALLY weird. I'm using .net for my backend and Flex for my front end. I'm also using WebOrb.Net to manage my RemoteObject calls. When the user first opens up my Flex app I make a call back to .Net and save a few settings in a session variable so that all subsequent requests to .Net can just pull these values out of th...
Hello, I have a graph component in Flex and my end-user wants to be able to manipulate this control in Flex, and then export the result into Powerpoint. I don't have a problem exporting an Image to Powerpoint, but where I am running into a problem is with exporting the Flex component to a .NET web service. Here is the code I have come...
