If I add a listener to KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, I can find out the keyCode and the charCode. The keyCode maps to a different character depending on the keyboard. The charCode is just as useless, according to the help: The character code values are English keyboard values. For example, if you press Shift+3, charCode is # on a Japanes...
I'm in the process of building a test plan for validating the security of our Flex/J2EE application. I believe we have some issues with trusting the Flex application too much, but I need to be able to quantify those issues. The ideal way would be a way to show me making data service calls outside of the application. Are there tools or i...
I am developing a voice application, I have 2 options speex and nellymoser .Why should I use speex instead of nellymoser in flex application. ...
I have following warnings if I compile our flex project with the ant task from the flex sdk. Does anyone have an idea where this comes from and why this happens and if I can safely ignore it? (The swf file itself seems to get created without an actual error) [mxmlc] The args attribute is deprecated. Please use nested arg elements. [mxml...

I am using this expression: masonicXML.item.(@style_number == styleNum) For example if there is a match everything works fine but if there is not a match then I get an error when I try cast it as XML saying that it has to be well formed.

I've found several examples and documentation that show how to read and write files on the system, but all show user intervention or reading/writing files in user profile directories. There are a few things I want to do: Monitor system and other application log files for changes, then automatically load those files when changes occur ...

Hey, I'm working on a project for school right now and we're trying to get it set up so that it is easily deployable. The webapp portion of it is written entirely in Adobe flex. However, we need links to certain files / url's within the code which are different on different machines. For instance, my server might use 8180 as the port ...
I checked in the API, that writing a file is only in Flex Air. Despite of that, is there still a way in Flex to write a file on the server or on the client machine ? More concretely, it's because I have a String and I will decode it by mx.utils.Base64Decoder to a doc. And I need to open it by Word directly on the client side, or write ...

I'm writing an Adobe Air client to a service similar to Twitter. On the timeline (List component) I have a custom item renderer which is basically a Canvas with a fixed-width Image and a Text control, which is multi-line. If the text is long enough to change the Canvas height, it will only be resized if I manually change the width of t...
We are removing our XSL-> HTML solution annd replacing it with a Flex UI for our userbase. One of the concerns is that the BlazeDS (amf endpoint, so streaming or polling) won't be able to handle the load as well as the EJB -> XML -> XSLT -> HTML stack. My theory is that it should perform better, but I need a way to statistically prove th...
Does anybody know if there's a better alternative to swfobject? I actually like swfobject, I just wanted to hear if anybody found something better. Or maybe it is the best way. If you do not know swfobject you can find it here: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/ ...
I'm using BlazeDS to connect Flex with Java. I'm having trouble passing ArrayLists of custom objects from Flex to java. I have two objects, one is called Category, the other Section. A Category has an ArrayList of Section objects. I can send an ArrayList of Category objects back and forth between Flex and Java, the problem is when ...
I have a Flex application I’m writing (Learning exercise) that I’d like to run of a network drive for many users to access. I’d like users to be able to save high scores on the network. Users have read write to the network location it's on. I don’t want to change anything on the computers that might use it (IE install AIR) or IE/Firefo...
Is there a way to correctly tween/animate meshes in Flash authoring tool? Shape tweens don't recognise movement of specific vertices, don't preserve connections and generally mess things up. Shape hints are too few for any non-trivial mesh, and too much manual labor anyway. I am trying to accomplish smooth animation between two mesh sh...
Is there a way to hide the preloader. One idea I have is to make a new one that is empty, but surely there must exist an easier way to do it. It might sound like a dumb idea but in some situations it can be nice to just hide the preloader. Especially if it doesn't require a lot of work. ...
Hello, everyone! I've got a problem trying to apply a loading animation to my Flex application - a whole browser window occupant. I'm subclassing DownloadProgressBar class as described on Adobe's article about this. stageHeight and stageWidth, reported by base class are incorrect. It says 500x375 pixels in constructor and 0x0 elsewhere....

I'm having trouble finding any resource for adding ctrl-z undo capability to a Flex RichTextEditor control (a lack it apparently shares with other Flex text controls). I'm baffled that it's not in the native forms because it's such a fundamental capability, available in even standard browser text controls I believe. Any mention of this ...
