i'd like to do something like this:
[Code]...
of course i could hardcode that - but if I then change something about the as file, the linenumbers won't be correct anymore, or maybe i rename the as file and so on. It'd be great to be able to create that string somehow using compiler directives. Is this Possible in an AIR application created with ActionScript 3.0?
I have seen a few blog entries on this and have had a discussion or two with my team mates but I would like to see what the stack overflow community thinks.
So why does the Adobe Alchemy Tool create so much faster running flash byte code than the flex compiler?
Also, when will the flex compiler be able to make similar performance gains? Will it require programmer specific use of special Array's or something of that nature to get the same performance?
I have been struggling to get Maven2 to cooperate with me, and was wondering if anyone out there had any ideas on how to get this working.... I am working on a Flash project, and we are considering switching from our hybrid Flex4/FlashCS4 to a pure Flex4 solution. We would like to use the Maven2 build system, so that our developers do not have to manually download, install, and configure Flex4 on their machines.I have managed to create a single-module project using Maven2 with Flex4 (I am using the Sonatype FlexMojos Plugin and their Maven2 repository located at http:[url]....

Basically, each of our modules has its sources located under "src/<modulename>/" and its test sources located under "test/ <modulename>/", with generated SWF files being placed in "bin" and generated SWC files being placed in "lib". Our assets (things that we would like to be able to reference using the "@Embed" or "[Embed]" tags) live under "share". I have looked at the references on project inheritance and aggregation, but can't seem to find anything that would allow us to keep our existing project directory structure. We would like this migration to be as quick, painless, and non-disruptive as possible. how to create a "pom.xml" file that allows us to keep our current infrastructure.
My ant buildfiles tell mxmlc.jar to recompile target mxml source. However, if the target mxml source file has not changed, either ant or mxmlc is ignoring the file and will not create a new swf. This is an annoyance because I'm editing files imported by the target mxml. I need it to rebuild when those files change. I'm guessing that the mxmlc is creating a cache file somewhere and comparing the target mxml (or maybe just a hash). Is this what is happening? What's the standard work-around? At the moment, I'm editing the target mxml just to cause a file change.

I need to read a large CSV file (8-15 MB) and generate a LineChart in Flex AIR. Since Chart need data in structurd format like XML. When I read CSV and convert it to XML object 8 MB file size become 24 MB XML object and not able to graph.
Best solution is to read Line by line and read only part of data. How can I acheive this in Flex AIR ? Is it possible to read line by line in Flex.
Otherwise what are the best ways to draw a graph in FLEX using large data.
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?
This is the MXML I have

View 3 RepliesI wrote a document class using Flash Develop and compiling with the Flash IDE, to test out a Pixel Bender filter. I've been doing some tuts and other similar stuff all week with no problem. Anyway, I got a complier error, #1137, (Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0).
In the course of troubleshooting , I commented out the offending line of code, saved and recompiled, and got the same result... Error generated by a line of code no longer in the class... I deleted the lines all together, same result.
I've tried closing and restarting flash, making a fresh FLA, a fresh AS file with a new name... and I keep getting the same result.
I have a String variable in my flex (flash builder 4) application containing CSV data. I need to allow the user to download this data to a local file. For example, giving them a "csv" button to click and it might present them with a save file dialog (and I would be sending the contents of my string variable).Is this possible / how ?I am using the ResuableFX component for the datagrid to csv. This the code I ended up with that works to save the string to a text file for the user (in a web browser):
var dg2CSV:DataGrid2CSV = new DataGrid2CSV();
dg2CSV.includeHeader=true;
dg2CSV.target=adgEncounters;

View 13 RepliesI'm trying to keep my code succinct by naming my section labels the same as the buttons that navigate to them. I've also put the contents of each page in a movie clip of the same name with suffix _mc. The following code successfully traces the name of the movie clip, but how do I tell the compiler that I want to reference the movie clip whose name is held in the string, rather than the string itself.
function clickSection(evtObj:MouseEvent):void {
currentContent = currentLabel + "_mc";
trace(currentContent);
currentContent.alpha = 0;
gotoAndStop(evtObj.target.name);
mainNav_mc.gotoAndStop(evtObj.target.name);
I'm developing a compiler generator in actionscript 3 with flash builder 4. I need to find a way to:
1.- Execute code inside of a string.
it could be very complex code, not just trace() functions but complete code
2.- Another alternative can be to tell to the actionscript compiler to compile the code autogenerated from my compiler generator.

View 2 RepliesMy group is working on a Flex/AS3 scientific web application that is data intensive. Luckily the only plots involved are line charts. However, each line chart may have multiple traces (up to 24), and each trace may contain up to 2000 points. The user will need to zoom in and out and interact with the data (e.g. data tips, etc.).
The response I'm getting from developers is that's a lot of data to render in a plot in Flash. For reasons beyond the scope of this post, we can't sample the data to reduce the size (this has already been done and nature of the data prevents further sampling).
Rendering speed is critical for this app. What kind of rendering speed should I expect the Flex 4 line chart component to provide for a given number of points (e.g. 1 second to render 1000 points?)
Are there products available that handle plotting large data sets better, which can be incorporated in Flex (I've seen FusionCharts and ZingCharts online but have no idea how they compare with Flex's components)? Of those, which are easy to develop with while still providing a lot of flexibility in look and feel?

I'd like to be able to write a .swf file that is runnable as a command line app. In other words, I would be able to create actionscript classes which can interact with stdin and stdout, and could then execute that .swf directly in the command line. I suspect that this isn't really possible. Can anyone confirm that? EDIT: A couple of the answers pointed out that using Flash for command line work probably isn't the best choice. I wholeheartedly agree in most situations. The reason I am asking about this is because I want to do some AS3 code generation, and reflecting on AS3 classes within the runtime would be easier than parsing the code or walking the intermediary XML that asdoc produces. I'm doing the XML approach now in Ruby, but would love to have a cleaner solution!

My issue is getting the text from the file stored into arrays. For my test loop I keep getting undefined as the stored value, and i know it has something to do with converting a string value to object..
