AS3 :: FlashDevelop (Flex) And Localized Compiler Messages
Oct 20, 2009
I am completely new to the whole FlashDevelop/Flash/etc toolchain, but wanted to do some experimenting. I installed FlashDevelop and Flex SDK on my laptop, and thinks worked out just fine, except for one thing: the compiler messages are localized! Messages like "gebruik van een niet-gedefinieerde eigenschap" (Dutch.. sort of) are limiting my productivity. I don't recognize them because they look nothing like what I'm used to in any other programming environment, as a proper sentence they make even less sense than English error messages, and I certainly can't google them properly. Now I've already seen there are a couple of xml files and java/mxmlc/fcsh/etc configs I can tweak, but nothing so far helped.

Does anyone know of a workaround for loading an AS3 swf into an existing AIR/Flex (Flex 3) application and having the loaded SWF retain its own reference to its stage (not the loader's stage)?
I've tried the loadForCompatibility property on SWFLoader, but that isn't giving me the behavior I'm wanting. The loaded swf still has the main AIR app's stage set.

By default, Flex uses signed .swz files to hold the Flex Framework classes. I noticed that under Adobe Flash Builder 4 > sdks > [version] > frameworks > locale > [locale] there are multiple languages supported.en_USen_GBzh_CNetc etcThe files in these directories vary in that they contain a "_rb.swc" at the end of each file. Files include datavisualization_rb.swc, spark_rb.swc, framework_rb.swc, etc etc. These are different from the rsls signed framework resources stored as .swz in framework .rsls. Since localized signed versions of the framework don't appear to be available, can I use these locale > [LOCALE] .swc versions instead as RUNTIME SHARED RESOURCES?
I DON'T want to compile different versions of my app for each locale, rather want to link the localized framework resource libraries at runtime. It would be nice to have the contents of the sdks > [VERSION] > frameworks > locale directory copied into my bin-debug/bin-release folder when I build my app.Is this possible? How would I set this up in Flash Builder 4?My assumption (I know about assumptions) is that there is a way to set up the Flex Build Path or supply compiler options that would cause all of the locales stored in the locales > [LOCALE] folder to be included into the bin-debug/bin-release of the project.

According to the Adobe asdocs, Flex framework files are supposed to be able to be loaded at runtime. These localized framework files, the ones that exist at (on windows) C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash Builder 4.5sdks4.5.0frameworkslocale, are responsible for items such as button text on Alert Dialogs, and a host of other controls. My expectation is that once these framework files are loaded I would see these resources available in my Flex app.
I've set up my project as follows:
MyProject
-src
-Flex4.5
-Referenced Libraries
[code]....
Now the asdocs state that in order to do this, you have to set the compiler settings to read
-locale=en_US,da_DK,de_DE,es_ES,fi_FI,fr_FR,it_IT,ja_JP,ko_KR,nb_NO,nl_NL,pt_BR,ru_RU,sv_SE,zh_CN,zh_TW -allow-source-path-overlap=true -source-path=locale/{locale}
which I have done.My Build Path Libraries for Flex 4.5 - C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash Builder 4.5sdks4.5.0 are set to be Runtime Shared library (of note, the {locale} subfolder says "Merged into code")
But when I change the language in the browser, I'm not seeing any of the framework resources.Also, when I build my project, I don't see any indication of the locale-oriented resource files in the bin-release. Since we only deploy the contents of the bin-release folder (and not the entire project), how is this supposed to work?I am also seeing .swz files in my bin-release (and I know these arent the localized framework resources).
Does anyone have any experience with Runtime Framework Localization?? What am I doing wrong? My expectation is that once I build my project (with the framework resources externalized) that the app would be able to load those resources, but this isn't happening and I am not interested in compiling a different version of my app for all of the locales I support.

Its stated in adobe site that the Flash Builder 4 compiler is indeed 25% more performing than the previous Flex Builder 3 compiler.
How can I confirm that?
For example if I make a simple application on Fx3 and the same on Fx4, then how would I compare the compiler performance using my project?

I'm creating an alert popup within an Adobe Flex 4 project using the following:
Alert.show(resourceManager.getString('myresource', 'ErrorMessage'), resourceManager.getString('myResource', 'ErrorMessageTitle'), Alert.OK|Alert.CANCEL,this,onExitSuccess,null,Alert.CANCEL);
When my language is of Asian origin (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc) the title appears correctly on the Alert, but the message does not. I'm seeing the correct localization values EVERYWHERE ELSE in my application except the Alert popup and in one other instance on a mx:Checkbox control.
I've checked my app and the strings are being returned from the resourceManager correctly but just aren't rendering to the screen. Does anyone have any insight as to what might be causing this behavior?

I have a system where clients connect via http streaming channels and use Producer and Consumer classes to dispatch and receive messages. I need to test the latency of messages in a way that adequately simulates real-world usage when the server is under load. I have 3 ideas for how this may be accomplished. Has anyone tried and succeeded or failed with these methods?

I have been programming with as3 for the past 4 months and Ive been getting rather good at it. I just recently decided to work with flashdevelop. I notice that there is alot of code that is availible in the flex sdk that isn't available in as3 with flash cs4. Like embedding of assets and such. I've been trying to find some up to date tutorials on how to embed things like xml and so far the tutorials are inaccurate or unclear about how to go about doing so. Ive been trying to find some good books that cover that and havnt been able to.
The books either cover as3 with flash or as and flex builder. Which is more towards working with the mxml. I havnt been able to find any books on how to work with as3 and flex sdk. Which show examples like embedding of xml and so on. I was just curious does anyone know of any good books that cover EVERYTHING there is to know about as3 and the flex sdk. Not so much on flex builder and mxml.
In a sense, I just want to get better with working with as3 projects with flashdevelop. And it would be great if there was books that covered that. Cause lets just face it, We developers sometimes just get sick of searching the web for bits of pieces of things. and its just great to have that one good book that references everything.

I'm trying to create a Flex based internet application with an EJB layer in the server. This layer provides the XML used by the flex application. It uses the Cairngorm architecture.Currently, on an error I call the handler function defined in all the command files. How can I centralize this?My idea is to create a XML file that contains all the error messages and the types of error message eg:- Warning, Error etc. In the error handler, I will call the error handling function and pass a unique id which in turn will display the error message defined in the xml config file. Do I need to load this XML file in the Model layer of the application itself and store them as say global variables?

I'm working on a flex 3 application which will initially support only one language (which is not English) but may need to support English and other languages later. So I'm using the standard localization technique, with resource bundles. Now, somewhere I use the validators like EmailValidator which have some error messages displayed, these are in english and come with the flex sdk. How do I localize those messages?

I am using Google AppEngine, in conjunction with PyAMF to provide RemoteObject support. In my Flex code I make several RemoteObject method calls at once which tends to batch the AMF Messages into a single HTTP request. Most of the time this is fine but AppEngine applies some strict per request limits (in this case I am hitting a DeadlineExceededError - max 30 seconds). A number of service methods are expected to take upwards of 10 seconds and if these are batched by the RemoteObject into 1 HTTP you see where this is going. Now you could say refactor your service calls and that is also going on but not really the question being asked here. Is there a way to prevent Flex RemoteObject from batching AMF requests for situations like this? I have done a fair amount of Googling on the subject and come up with bupkis. It seems to me that I would need to implement a custom version of mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel or something of that nature, which seems waay too hardcore for a feature like this

i'm looking for a possibility to log messages in my flex 4.5 Project. This should cover errormessages in remoteClasses, errorHandler or messages typing by hand. After reading a lot of webpages, the solution from parslay looks good. i want to switch to this framework anyway. the benefit is the possibility to configure the logging behavior at runtime. but i don't understand the documentation. perhaps because I'm brandnew in parsley. Also google has no fitting result.

I've configured Flash Debug player to log trace messages from my Flex application to the flashlog.txt file.I can see trace() messages from my own code, thats ok.
However, would also like to see also trace messages from Fle SDK. I use Flex SDK ver. 4.1, and, for example, I would like to have trace message trace("app initialize app"); which is placed in function initialize() in mx/core/Application.as file in the SDK.
What I need to do? Should I recompile SDK somehow or is there a compiler switch to enable this? I'm a beginner in Flex, so I'm sorry if this question sounds silly.

I have a Flex/BlazeDS webapp (pseudo content management system) with a Java backend running on 2 Weblogic 10.3 servers for load balancing and HA purposes.Basically, I'm using AMF polling to update my app such that when a user opens a document from the search results, the corresponding row will display a locked icon across all user displays that currently have that document on the screen.
The problem I have is that if a user connected to Server A opens up document X, the locked icon will only appear on the screens of other users connected to Server A. The displays of users connected to Server B will not be updated. Is there any established paradigm or best practice to ensure that the locked update will propagate across all servers?

I try to use the example from Adobe help reference as following address:

I open FlashDevelop IDE, creat a new Flex 3 project, then copy the code of example to the main.mxml, save it, then run builder.
It failed with "...TreeExampleTreeExamplesrcMain.mxml(5): Error: Could not resolve <s:Application> to a component implementation." error message.
There is a "How to use this example" link beside this example, but I didn't find any useful information I want.
How can I run this example in FlashDevelop IDE?

I've embedded a MovieClip symbol with the [Embed] syntax into my AS3 project, which I'm compiling with the Flex 3 SDK. That MovieClip has instances of other clips within it that are placed on stage with instance names. I can't just access them by instance name like I would if I were compiling with the Flash IDE. How can I reference them?

I have a game which I'd like to take to an exhibition for people to test on the stand, but my high score system is on the server at the office and there is no internet connection at the exhibition hall. I'm wondering what the best method of having the high scores would be.. would I need to install PHP MySQL onto my laptop and run the high scores locally, or is there another method I could adopt that won't take too long to set up... XML for example..

Our Flash web-based applications play lots of audio for narration and sound-effects. Some of our customers have firewall rules that block downloading of MP3 and other audio files. So, we need to wrap those MP3 files in SWFs. In the past, I've written JSFL scripts that automate the Flash IDE and walk through a complicated, fragile set of steps to embed MP3 files into FLAs and then publish those to SWFs. Now, Flex SDK provides the mxmlc compiler. I've mixed ANT into our workflow, and command-line and automated builds have been a joy. So, I want to make transcoding or wrapping of MP3s part of our build process. I've found Embedding Asset at Compile time in Pure AS3, but this will require that I write a script to generate a wrapper class AS file. Is there a cleaner way to wrap or transcode MP3 files into SWFs?

Currently, i have been compiling my applications with FD/CS3 and want to make the switch to the flex compiler. One of the main things i want to experiment with the flex compiler is using Macros in AS3. For instance, say i have some extremely expensive operation that i wish to carry out:
private function Main():void
{
extremelyExpensiveOperation(params);
}
but i want to avoid the cost of a function lookup. So instead of using a function lookup I do something like
private function Main():void
{
<macro expandExtremelyExpensiveOperationHere(params)/>
}
obviously the syntax doesn't have to look exactly like that, but the macro gets expanded before compilation thus avoiding function lookup.

I have a movieClip within another MovieClip. I gave the child movieClip the instance name "hSprite" and I added it to the parent movieClip stage. Now I get an error like the following.
[Fault] exception, information=ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property hSprite on com.objects.Hero. If I remove the instance name from the child movieclip, then the error goes away. but when I add the instance name back, the error reappears again.
Keep in mind that both classes are set for export. The parent class is embeded by a custom class which work perfectly fine. But the minute I give the child movieClip a instance name, the error starts up again.
