I've been messing around with SWF Decompiler's latest and found that my Flex3 project's main MXML file is found verbatim in the SWF (in addition to the compiled class). How can I make sure this is not included?
View 8 RepliesI'm new to ActionScript and Flex but I was wondering, when do you create an MXML component and when do you simply code it in ActionScript? Does it matter either way, what are the pros & cons to both?
Does an MXML Component essentially create it's own class when compiled?
I compiled a simple AS3 project using Flex 3.5 (also tried Flex 4.1) to create a small swf which draws a simple red square on screen. Nothing too complex that requires special flashplayer support (see code below)
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
/**
[Code]....
and tried to load it into a AS2 swf I have compiled using Flash CS4. But that just didn't work. I don't get any errors when loading and the AS2 swf can load any swf, either compiled in AS2 or AS3 by Flash.
I am working on a feature for an application that requires Flex 4 functionality. Due to some migration issues of the application from Flex 3.5 to 4.0, I have decided to implement this feature as a module that is compiled with Flex 4.0. The theory is that the application would remain compiled in Flex 3.5 and load the module when it needs it.[code]
View 1 RepliesDoes MXML get compiled down to as3 and then converted to flash bytecode? Also, is there a significant performance penalty to compiling mxml vs compiling as3?
View 3 RepliesI am working on a custom Flex 4 component which is an aggregation of two existing flex components. I would like to be able to specify my own custom properties for the component as well as access the existing public subcomponent properties via MXML. For instance I might want to adjust the font color or style for the label and text input. toy component which aggregates both a label and a text input:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Group xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

I am trying to override a Button class, i have a few properties which i wish directly initialise with the mxml description of the component, like :[code]which function is triggered ( in order to override it ) when all properties with mxml description is fully initialised with their values ?
View 1 RepliesWhat I'd like to do: create an MXML component with some children, then extend it via MXML to create a new component with more children, without losing the original set.In other words
create a component bc.mxml

<s:BorderContainer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

I'm trying to do this using only mxml, no <script> tags, although I don't necessarily need a solution that's only mxml. It was more of an educational exercise to see if I could do it all in mxml. I have a custom component that has a slider and textinput and their value/text properties are bound together. I'm surfacing a few properties of the slider in my component so that it can sort of be treated like a slider.

I have 3 mxml components. In Component 1, I let the users fill in some data. In Component 3 I want to use the data, but I can't find a way to make it work.
View 1 Repliessuppose i have 3 buttons(for example say, productin, marketing, sales ) on my main.mxml..once i click on one button it should take me to abc.mxml page with production data, once again if i click on second button it should take me to the same abc.mxml but with marketing data. same as for 3rd button also, how can i achieve this ?
View 2 RepliesI've been trying to create a custom mxml component that extends another custom mxml component (i.e.MyMXMLComponent -> BaseMXMLComponent -> Group). I've been reading that trying to add visual children to MyMXMLComponent caused error with Flex 3 but that's no longer the case with Flex 4.
What I want to know is whether this is a supported/fixed/documented feature of Flex 4? or just some undefined behavior in Flex 4 that may get changed with future updates?
if this is supported and documented feature, does anyone have link pointing to adobe document stating it as such?
This is a project I'm working on for a simple demo tutorial application in Flex. I am using mxml pages. You can see to the left that I will have my main application and then other mxml files (In the Examples Package) as the examples that will be loaded into the main application mxml. How can I dynamically pull the value from the object in the list to load the child mxml file into the container that I have further down in the application?

I would like to include an MXML file in my MXML file in the same way you can include an external file in AS3 using the include directive. Using the include directive brings the code from the external file into the original file at compile time placing it in the same scope. For example,
Application.mxml:
<Application>
<source="external.mxml"/>

I have had this problem a few times lately. When I try to update & publish files that I created in the same version of Flash CS3 and previously published fine, the "Exporting Flash Movie" bar comes up, but no movie compiles. When I go to look for the swf in the Finder (Mac OS 10.5.7), it has mysteriously disappeared, and only the .FLA remains.
It doesn't happen with ALL files I publish, only some -- so I know the SWF preview should come up automatically. I normally work off of a shared network drive, but the same thing happens on my local machine. Has this happened to anyone else?? Is there a cache I need to clear or something?
Is there a simple way for me to add this to an already compiled swf?
View 2 RepliesI would just want to know if someone know what it's about and how to work around in on XP 64-bit.I've got my ActionScript-program to work on all the different computers I could find and with all versions of IE with IETester. However the guy I was doing it for kept getting a problem when he was uploading files. My upload file-part looks almost exactly like the final example in the FileReference Adobe livedocs:URL...I'm pretty sure he got a HTTPStatusEvent that stopped uploading, though I didn't have a warning for that but I had for the different errors and the rest are just signaling when it's canceled, done, and the progress. HTTPStatusEvent is the only one I'm not entirely sure what it's doing so I think that's the one. Though Googling that didn't solve my problem.Anyway I found some machines with Windows XP 32-bit and seemed to get his problem when using Internet Explorer, though Mozilla was always fine (the guy with the problem was only using IE). I tried shutting down firewalls and changing the settings in IE without any difference so I installed Adobe Flash on one of the computers with Windows XP 32-bit, compiled and uploaded the new swf-file and it works on Windows XP 32-bit. Also on Vista 32-bit it always works with both IE and Mozilla.
These computers with 32-bit and 64-bit XP are several hours with bus apart so I can't do any quick tests (like printing a warning for the HTTPStatusEvent compiled on XP 64-bit, sorry). I Googled for problems with 32-bit and 64-bit XP but I couldn't find anything, with ActionScript 3 that is. It was the common hysteria that 32-bit programs don't work on 64-bit systems that made me re-compile my program, but this was the opposite.Does it seem likely this was even the problem? Have anyone ever had a similar problem? This might also be more of a Adobe Flash-problem, but everything except the FileReference part works.
I have found a bug in flash CS5, I was wondering if anyone else had this? This bug occurs in Flash CS5 when creating compiled clips which use the 3D rotation tool. It appears that if you attempt to convert a symbol which contains a 3D transformation to a compiled clip it will not work correctly. What makes this problem worse is that the error is not reported correctly and so it is nearly impossible to debug.

I am building a swc [MY.swc] component with compc. It is suppose to contain base functionality for MY.swfI need to include another (third party) swc [OTHER.swc] into my own swc. This other swc has a reference to mx.core.mx_internal and I suspect that it is this reference that in the end, when I compile MY.swf, results in that all mx classes (mx.*) and all spark classes (spark.*) is included in MY.swf (seen when decompiling)The difference in size between MY.swf with/without OTHER.swc is ~180kB.The only difference (when decompiling) MY.swc with/without OTHER.swc is that the first has a reference to mx.core.mx_internal
Here is the compc part from my ANT task:
<compc output="MY.swc">
<include-sources dir="${project.root}/${SRC_ROOT}" includes="*" />

It's a great thing that it's possible to compile an SWF into iOS native app. I think AIR is now the best option to write e.g. small games or interactive books. Of cause AIR app will be slowler than the same app written on e.g. objective C. The question is how slower AIR app will be. Can simple AIR apps be launched e.g.on iPhone 3G or iPAd 1?
And another question is, can arbitrary flash app be compiled into iOS native app?
Im using Flash Builder 4 on the Mac and I have a worrisome problem: The compiler is sometimes not detecting my code changes.For example I might write some code, compile and run, then add some logging statements, but they will not print. After a clean compile everything runs as expected.I cannot see a pattern to the exclusion of changes. I'm wondering if anyone else is having the same problem?

Can I really do that with the phone? Perhaps I would have to call any of the native API's, but I am not really sure whether and what is possible. I am pretty sure that the camera is accessible, so at the worst case I could send the picture to the server, decode the QR code on the server, and get the results on the phone, right ?
View 1 RepliesI just noticed my size report includes the following:
ActionScript Bytes Location
------------------ --------
294323 ActionScript 3.0 Classes
This seems like a lot for what is essentially byte code. I'm not using any images. I have vector art in there but it's mostly straight line geometric stuff, no complicated wiggly art or anything. I'm not using any Components.My entire codebase comes in at 167k of Actionscript. So how can I be using 294k of byte code?
I have a Flash Professional CS5 project with ActionScript 3. I have a movieclip object with several gotoAndPlay ActionScript commands inside of it. I also have other gotoAndPlay commands on the main stage, linked to interactive events.
When I run the project via Ctrl+Enter, it works perfectly, without any issues. However, once I compile it down to a .swf or an Air 3.0 file, it runs, but omits some or all of the gotoAndPlay commands, both the ones inside of and outside of the stage.
I have the most weirdest problem with Flash Player and FlashDevelop (to be honest, dont know which one causes it), so let me explain. I have recently downloaded FlashDevelop and created an AS3 Project. When I compile the project, the files are generated in the bin folder. Now, when I navigate to the bin folder and open the index.html in Firefox and IE9, everything works fine. However, when I copy the bin folder somewhere else and then try to do the same, i can see the flash movie in Firefox but not IE9.
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash cs3. I have an as3 file next to my fla file which contains all the specific actionscript for that file. Then, through the source path in the fla's "Publish" settings I am pointing to an external folder with all the other necessary classes.When I press control + enter to compile the file it works fine. But when I try to see the published file embedded in a webpage on another computer, the swf won't display in either chrome or firefox. It will display in IE though. If I copy all the actionscript files into the same folder as the swf, the swf will display in all browsers. Is there no way to have the script in external as files to compile into the published swf file?
