I've heard that the components in the upcoming Flex 4 framework will be more loosely coupled possibly allowing for smaller filesizes for projects that use relatively few components. It this true? Or will the entire Flex framework still get bundled into each SWF that uses a single Flex 4 component? If it is true, and we could compile fai...
Where can I find a chart or some article to compare Flex 3 and new 4. ...
I'm trying to port a small Flex 3 AIR project to Flex 4 (Gumbo). Things are working quite fine. I can run and debug the application. But for some reason I can't use the design mode of my WindowedApplication. The head of the MXML file looks like so: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <WindowedApplication xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/mx...

If I am creating say a input field through MXML, I can set the width to 100%. But I cannot seem to do this at runtime through ActionScript. This works: <mx:TextInput ... width="100%" /> This wont compile, says width is a number, not a string: var textinp:TextInput = new TextInput(); someContainer.addChild(textinp); textinp.width = "...
I'm trying out the FlasBuilder ide with ColdFusion 8 on OS X. When I try to create a new project, I get stuck at the server setup screen that forces you to validate your paths for your ColdFusion root folder and your webroot. Every combination I try says either "LiveCycle Data Services is not installed at the specified location" or "In...
Is there an alternative ActionScript 3 lightweight framework out there similar to Flex, but not as huge. Flex is fairly large, and SWF's being no less than 150Kb big, I'm just thinking it must be possible to get something that have smaller SWF files as an end result. I've come accross AS Wing, and was curious if there's more. Thanks fo...
How can the text in a Label control (or a similar control) be wrapped in Flex 4 beta? In Flex 3 I could use the Text control but this is no longer available in Flex 4. ...
Has anyone successfully implemented a custom preloader in Flex 4? In my experience, when I specify a custom preloader using the preloader="com.foo.MyPreloader" in the Application tag, the preloader does not display until the SWF is completely downloaded, defeating the purpose of the preloader! Perhaps this is a bug in the still-beta Flex...
Hi, from video on AdobeTV I tied to play with example empWeb (LiveCycle Data Services). In Flex Builder 3 (FB3) all works fine. When I tried this on Flash Builder Beta (FB4) it don't work. When I replaced original xmlns declarations (2009, spark, halo) by declarations from FB3 (2006) it works. Could you explain why ? Thanks juro2 ...
I've got the latest Beta of Adobe Flash Builder 4. I want to use a <s:List> component, and specify the dataProvider as being an XML file. However, after loads of research (including looking at doc links off labs.adobe.com), I still can't figure out how to do it. The XML file will look something like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding...
Hi, I have lots of child text inputs within a spark Scroller. How can I make the TextInput with id of "x" come into focus if I have a..z id's, also for the scrollbar to scroll automatically to that child item? I can use x.setFocus(), but the scrollbar doesn't automatically scroll to that item? why? <s:Scroller id="scroller" width="100...

Hi, I just upgraded to Flash Builder 4 (beta 2) from Flex Builder 3 which I have been using since it came out. Problem: All the projects that were in my workspace from Flex Builder 3 did not carry over into Flash Builder 4 (e.g. in the "Flex Navigator" view if FB3). Flash Builder 4 now uses the .FXP format to manage projects, but Flex ...

I'm just starting to try figure out how to go about continuous integration and test driven development, specifically in Flex 4. I'd like to run FlexUnit4 tests from an ant script initiated in Hudson. I can get hudson to compile my app but how do I then go about running/seeing results of my tests? ...
Flex 4 introduces states that are localized within a skin, and within a component. This makes sense on an MVC model, so the visual elements can have their own states (i.e. for a button: up, down, over, etc.) which are separate from a component's state. Yet, how would one go about making a global application state? Is there something alre...
