View 2 RepliesI'm trying to launch a popup window from Flex, but the popup window needs to have certain properties as one can usually specify with the JavaScript window.open. For example, the popup window should not have a browser toolbar or URL box.I've tried using navigateToURL, which works fine, but I can't find a way to specify the popup window properties've tried using ExternalInterface.call, but the popup gets blocked when calling window.open directly, or even creating a custom JS function that calls window.open.

2) Is it possible to run these technologies on the server side? I am guessing no as Flash requires a browser to run within?
I'm developing an application for the Blackberry Playbook using Flash Burrito 4.5 and Flex. I'd like to create a file browser to allow users to load images from the local system into the application. I followed this example [URL] When I click on the Load Image button in the simulator however, the file browser pops up but tells me that "no file was found with the specified filter", even though I don't specify any filter or even if I specify a . filter.
View 2 RepliesI found this simple example online for how to add an HTML "browser" area in an Air application:
protected function init():void
{
var browser:HTML = new HTML();
[Code]....
Only when I run the application, I don't see a browser, but just a blank white area.
The only other thing that is in Main.mxlm is the wrapper mx:WindowedApplication, which has [URL]
in other words, suppose I want to send data, like text, programmatically from a Windows app (such as a browser plugin) to a Flash app running in the browser. Well, conceptually, an example of this might be a Flash instant messenger with a textbox and button "Send"; so let's say I want to be able to programmatically paste the text and press Send or otherwise activate it. That's NOT what I am trying to do here in reality (i.e., no,I am not trying to spam other people's chat rooms or anything)but just an illustration of a similar situation.I can include in it whatever widget or hack that may be necessary.The reason why this problem is arising for me is that AFAIK the SDK that is providing me the data I want cannot be directly accessed from Flash, so I need a way to pipe the data from a regular app into Flash. can I have the Flash app interact with other apps through localhost IP? Or are there draconian restrictions on which server Flash in browser can and cannot interact?

View 1 RepliesI'm working on a game and want the freedom to choose between UDP and TCP connections in the future when I decide to add multiplayer. I'm not sure how something like this would work in the browser with security.
There are two scenarios I can think of for multiplayer. The first is that a player becomes the host of the game (in the browser) and thus would need to communicate with other players directly via TCP or UDP. This would save me on bandwidth costs.
The second scenario would be to have the web server host the game and pass messages back and forth to the clients again via TCP or UDP.
Do Flash or Java applets let me do something like this? If not is there an alternative I can use for the browser or am I stuck with moving to providing a game download and installation?
Does anyone know how to create a browser refresh button??

I can create the slide show, but I do not know which dimension of the *.fla shall I use for creating images in such a big size like on this site: [URL]
I would like to create a panning tool similar to the attached. I looking for something very simple, I would like to be able to scroll the large image from left to right using a smaller inset browser.
View 1 RepliesWell, there's a web page that shows this effect, but I can't post links here (<50 post count) so I'll just have to describe it in words.
The flash content is a rectangle in the center, which is centered depending on the browser size. This would probably be the size of the stage.
What I'm interested in is the dynamic background that fills the screen with a shape. What seems to be happening is this[code]...
I have flash as a gui to edit some docs. I'd like to caution the user to save before they close the window (or navigate away from it).ut can it be done with a .swf ?I think this was asked awhile back in this forum but I cant seem to locate it.

How can I programmatically click the browser's Back button from within my Flex application. I'm using deep linking to allow the user to navigate back/forth inside my application. I want this to work when BACKSPACE is clicked inside the application as well, but Flex captures BACKSPACE and the browser doesn't get the event. I don't want to implement browsing history myself within the application, naturally. Can I send BACKSPACE to the containing browser?
View 1 RepliesI have an actionscript function which is supposed to launch a panel and then fill in Networktopology data inside it.As, network data is too large that it consumes much time and makes browser hang!Even I tried to display busy cursor which also stopped spinning when data was being processed.How can I ensure processing large amount of data does not hang the browser.
View 3 RepliesA groups of friends are working on a little game that would listen to the microphone as part of the interaction. We've tinkered with processing and flex. What we'd like to know is if anyone has succeeded in:
recording from the microphone using a web app
performing an FFT on this microphone data
In the case of flex, according to the docs "Because sound data from a microphone...do not pass through the global SoundMixer object, the SoundMixer.computeSpectrum() method will not return data from those sources."[1]
I want to upload directly to an S3 bucket.I know this can be done in AIR,whether it is actually possible in flex in the browser, or will I have to use some code server side to get this going?
View 1 Repliesto point out some good tutorials on creating applications in flex that are don't have UI's?Actually, it looks like all I really need to know is how to call afunction upon initialization of the flash object. I tried the creationComplete attribute, but it doesn't work in browser.
View 2 RepliesI would like to open a new windows when a user clicks on a button so I would like to resize the browser (for example let's say I get the screen size (width) is 1000, I want to resize it to 700px and then launch a window next to the browser that is 300px in width and 100% in height. How do I resize the browser window using flex (and how do I get the current size of the browser).
View 1 Repliestrying to embed a web browser component into adobe flex.
I've seen in Adobe Air that there is a Item; however, in Adobe Flex 3 for a .swf file that would be somewhere - I do not see it.
feel free to add multiple answers, each with a single point, to make the voting work well... and don't add something someone else already said. All I know about AIR is you can have local storage, but there must be more to it... offline access is another key one but then you can run a SWF locally if you save it to your PC.
View 4 RepliesIm here to ask a probably dumb question again. This is related to my previous questions. I current found a way for flash/flex to send a video file(in byteArray) to php. Where php receives and writes it in the local sytem then sends it to the youtube server automatically trhu a script.This is all backend though I have no way to check if the video file was uploaded succesfully in youtube than to check it manually in youtube.
So im thinking of a new php script where it will receive and write the video file from flash. Then opening a browser window where it will automatically upload the video and at the same time track it thru the browser of its status using debug prints perhaps.
Im barely still learning php. I tried to do some research on this but found no success.
I have a Flex project and am using a trial version of Adobe Flex Builder 3 to build it.
I do the following:
1. Change an mxml file in the project (for simplicity, assume I changed the text in a label).
2. Right click on the project, Export, Release Build
3. Right click on the main mxml file, Run As -> Flex Application
A browser window opens, everything runs fine, but I cannot see the change I made in step 1.
I thought the browser (tried with IE, Chrome) might be caching stuff, so I tried after deleting all temporary internet files, but I see the same behavior.
How do you know if the browser is actually using the cached swf RSL/library for Flex projects? I would like to be able to do different things from the preloader based on whether or not the user has never downloaded the library vs. they have it already cached by their browser.

I'm testing alivePDF 0.1.5 and till now everything's been fine. I'm super interested in the new function writeFlashHTMLText() cause it makes my life so much easier! xD I'm now trying to display the generated pdf in a browser tab/window instead of just saving the file (using the filereference class' save function). I saw that there was a PDF.save() function that allowed that specifying the argument Download.INLINE. However I don't want to use the save function of the pdf class cause I don't want to use a script.
