I'm tentatively looking into building a system to compile a PDF in runtime based on a users selection of PDF pages which are in local directories.I'm sure this is possible using something like activePDF.Now, the result would be a PDF which the user would review and eventually export.Am I right in thinking that without AIR the saving of the file to a location on a users machine of their choice is not possible?
View 5 RepliesIts 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?

View 1 RepliesI am having an issue trying to set http headers when trying to access a web service.
I have read that I need a crossdomain.xml on the server, but is this only when the application is running in a browser - i.e. hosted somewhere.
My scenarion is that I am developing an app to run as a stand alone application (not in the browser) for a 3rd party device. This device does not support the flex mx packages.
The app calls a webservice and displays data. The webservice requires to be authenticated.
In JS i can use an XMLHTTPRequest and load the url using "https://username:password@server.com/service.asmxpassword@server.com/service.asmx" - attempting to do this in AS 3 using a URLRequest and URLLoader I get "#2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error".
So I try to add a HTTP header instead, but this appears to be ignored - the credentials of the user who is currently logged into the network (idsid) is used instead.
Do i need a crossdomain.xml file on the server hosting the webservice even though my flash application will never be hosted. The server admin is not happy allowing all domains ("*") since I dont knwo what domain I am in as my flash app is not hosted.
Any help you can give me would be greatly appriciated. or perhaps there is an alternative way of doing this?
<code>
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("https://server/service.asmx");
urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
urlRequest.contentType = "text/xml";
urlRequest.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader("Content-type", "text/xml"));
urlRequest.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + escape(usr) + ":" + escape(pwd)));
urlRequest.data = getSoapData();
var urlLoaderService:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
urlLoaderService.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
urlLoaderService.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onServiceLoaded);.....

View 1 RepliesI have made a swf file that requires Flash Player 10.1 to play back properly. I have successfully updated to Flash Player 10.1 in my browsers, and if I open this swf file in a browser it functions correctly.
However, I want to be able to play it back in the standalone Flash Player that came with Flash CS4 Professional, and it was not updated from 10.0 to 10.1 when I updated to 10.1 for my browsers. How can I update this software to a newer version?
This probably is a stupid question but does anyone know how I can start a standalone swf file in fullscreen mode.I want it to cover the whole screen when it starts.
View 3 RepliesI'm (slowly) creating a product configurator application and want to add in a mini application which can determine branding on a product (baseball caps).
What Im looking to be able to do is for the customer to be able to upload their own logo - and it be displayed within the application - which they can then print off and send to us as an order form for pricing etc.
Normally this would be fine - as I could load the image onto a server - however this application is going to be distributed via CD (part of a Product Launch Kit) and so will be completely standalone.
Is there any way that this can be achieved? I imagine that I wouldnt be able to get the application to save the image to a temp folder on the customers computer - but is there any other way?

I have two swf's. One "show" of some sort, and one "menu" that acts as a loader for "shows". The "show" swf can run in its own respect, or by being loaded via the "menu".
Is there a way to determine, if the "show" is run stand-alone or as loaded into the "menu"?
One solution is to have the "menu's" Loader object set a variable on the loaded "show", like myLoader.content.thisIsFromMenu = true; and then checking in the "show", if such a variable exists and is true. BUT I was wondering, if there is any more generic way, that would not require for the "show" to know anything about the "menu" to determine, if it is loaded into a swf or played by itself?
I need a fairly foolproof way to check from a child swf whether it is loaded into a container swf through a loader object or if it is just loaded through html. I would like to do this without requiring a flashvar or any kind of function call from the parent swf that may be there. Any quick and simple solutions? I looked for something with loaderinfo but came up empty.
View 4 RepliesCreating a Multi Platform standalone CDROM, I'm desperately trying to, when user is connected to the web, let him send me an email by clicking on a button. This button uses the AS getURL("mailto...) and opens the default mail program. (a mail page with email address, subject...) But this AS only works with swf nested in html page.

I have a problem with the standalone Linux Flash player. The thing is that when I have a video playing in background and over it I make some tweens, it flickers all the time and it is an annoying flicker. It happens only on Linux Flash Player (it works on Windows Flash Player). The flicker appears when I have a video on background, only when the tween is made and on the portion of the screen where the tween is made. I have Ubuntu 9.04 installed and the latest version of standalone Flash Player (from 2/24/09). I've tried this on several LCD and on all it does the same. My video card has the Intel G31 Express Chipset (the drivers for the video card are the one from Ubuntu).

Everywhere it says I should use this to make fullscreen in flash
I tried everything, I even copied the damn tutorial from adobe page of fscommand, still not going fullscreen at all, no errors.
I am unable to view the majority of the downloadable standalone ActionScript 3.0 Language Reference.To replicate:
1) Download the file from [URL] ndalone.zip.
2) Expand the zip, open the resulting folder and open the index.html document in your web browser.
3) Pick any filter link you desire from the choices on this page. Notice that the package and class filters in the header continuously display "Retrieving Data from Server..."
4) Click on the Classes link in the header at the top.
Result: The class list displays only momentarily, then completely hides.
It would be great if there was a way to completely circumvent the filters. There appear to be several missing linked elements in the download, such as en_US/shared/ahpods/AHPod.js.
