ActionScript :: Flash Builder - Trying To Access Images Source Information
Nov 2, 2011
I'm working on a project (using flash builder 4.5) where a user can click on one of a number of pictures to perform an action. The images are all loaded into an array of UIComponents through actionscript. I have a private variable as follows:
private var _selectedChild:UIComponent;
Which keeps track of which UIComponent is currently "selected" (was the last item clicked). I just want to show an Alert when the picture is clicked displaying it's id and the source filename.
Alert.show("Current id: " + _selectedChild.id + " -- filename: " + _selectedChild.source);
The id comes out easy with _selectedChild.id, but there is no such thing as .source - I looked throughout the entire list of possible variables eclipse gives me and I can't figure out which one would display the url or the source. I feel like I might be missing something easy - does anyone know how to get this information from a UIComponent?
This is the relevant mxml:
<dp:Test id="test" width="100%" height="100%" >
<mx:Image id="i1" source="images/i1.jpg"/>
<mx:Image id="i2" source="images/i2.jpg"/>
</dp:Test>

Any list which folders need to be excluded from a Flash Builder project when adding it to source control. E.g. bin-debug folder which is automatically generated when the project is compiled should not be in source control and etc.

I have the source folder from a friend's Android app and I am going to do all of the design for the app. If I could import the folder that he gave me from Eclipse, it would be easier to create a nice UI for the app.
Is this possible? If not, can I load the XML files into Flash Builder to make the UI? EDIT: To clarify, I have a project file that I can open in Eclipse. I want to edit the appearance of the project using Flash Builder without interfering with the application's functionality.

According to the answers to this question here, the reason why I'm not seeing errors as I work in Flash Builder is that FB is "optimizing" them out because they aren't referenced at any point in the code execution. Is there an option to force Flash Builder to compile all files regardless of whether they're used in the software?

How do you define a relative link to the source of a linked library in Flash Builder (4).
I have a swc folder defined for a project. I want to link one of the contained swcs to it's associated source. This works fine except that the path stored in the .actionScriptProperties file is absolute. Here you can see the linked lib:

I am using Flash Builder 4 and have mistakenly set an abstract class to be the default application class.. It's not too much of an issue as I have set the correct one again, which works fine most of the time, but not when I am editing the incorrect one and hit F11 - it attempts to run the project via this incorrect class. Is there any way to remove the "runnable" attribute from this file so that this doesn't happen?An example of how this looks in the package explorer is below (Application.as is the correct file, AbstractQuickDraggable.as is not):

Why does FlexBuilder insist on a main class in the root of the source folder? By insist I mean that if I create an Actionscript project called MainTest. A file called MainTest.as will be placed in the root of the src folder. if I now create a package/folder called some/package and place the MainTest.as in it (and adjust the package statement accordingly), I cannot select the project to use this as the application class in Properties/Actionscript Applications as the package is empty as far as Flexbulider is concerned.
So there is a restriction that a main/application class cannot have a package other than the root package. The mxmlc compiler and FDT do not enforce this restriction so why does Flex Builder?

When setting up a source control repository for a Flex Builder workspace, what do you consider to be worth checking in? Do you exclude the workspace .metadata folder but keep the .project and other project specific files? Keep both? Throw away both? Is there a guideline you use to decide which is worth holding onto or do you do it out of practical experience?

I have a project in flash cs5 with some buttons and textInputs. Ive linked my project up with Flash Builder and now want to access my textInput from within my Flash Builder source. i gave the textInput instance name of "txt1" in Flash CS5 but when i try to reffrence it in my Flash Builder project there is no option to set it as type TextInput. I can only set it to type MovieClip and when i do that and publish it tells me cannot convert from fl.controls.TextInput to MovieClip.

I downloaded flexlib source from [url]...
I want to be able to set it up and run it in flex builder and play with it for learning purpose.
I tried to use the import project option by pointing to the flexlib directory but it did not work - I think thats because the source by default does not have any .project or properties files.

Is there a way to access the d:userLabel attribute in Flash Builder? I want to use a number of different files created from Illustrator -> Catalyst -> Flash Builder
Looks like this:
<fx:DesignLayer d:id="2" d:userLabel="A1">
<s:Rect d:userLabel="R_1" x="150" y="200" width="500" height="300" ai:knockout="0">
<s:fill><s:SolidColor color="0xffffff"/></s:fill></s:Rect>
<s:Rect d:userLabel="R_2" x="150" y="200" width="80" height="60" ai:knockout="0" >
</s:Rect>... </fx:DesignLayer>
Now the question:
Can I access the "userLabel" with a scriptfunction? Something similar to getElementByID? I want to change for example the fillcolor of a rect or path with that function. Because I have no id here I can't do something like:
R_1.fill = blue
And I don't want to manually change the files from Illustrator.

Is there a way to directly communicate with a mongodb server from a flash builder 4 AIR / actionscript (cli?) application?
I know it is possible to use AMF - for example through Zend AMF (PHP), but I was hoping for this particular application to eliminate that hop or overhead and communicate directly with the database.

I will not be hosting the .swf file and I would like to include images using Flash Builder 4. The images appear in a folder in the exported version and I'm not sure how to "embed" them into the .swf (so that I can deploy the file to sites like Kongregate, etc.)
Seems like it should be simple, but my Google fu is currently poor.
Edit: Note, I would like to continue using the Flex framework, which is what I am using now.

I have inherited an Adobe AIR application, and am attempting to debug it through Flash Builder 4.5. Within Flash Builder, when I look at one of the MXML files, I see warnings for each use of the [Bindable] tag:[code]And there are no missing semi-colons on the lines preceding each warning as per the suggestion in this blog post.The project is configured to use Flex SDK 3.6.Additionally the file will not load in the designer, with this warning:Design mode: Error during component layout. Choose Design > Refresh to refresh design mode.At runtime I am seeing a blank window - which I assume is the result of the bindings not being triggered. Is this tag not available in Flex SDK 3.6?

How can I add a set of dynamic images and then add event handlers to each that trigger a different event? My scenario is that I have a remote service that grabs a set of data (ArrayCollection) that has a className, classID and classDescription. I would like the images to have event handlers that trigger a new panel display that would show the "classDescription" for the particular class that is clicked. My problem is figuring out how to retrieve the proper set of data and adding the images properly to the panel.

I am interested in creating a website that needs to know as much specific hardware (ie computer model, cpu model, RAM size, etc) as possible.
Are you aware of any method to find out this information? I know about ActiveX controls, however I'd prefer to use a more flexible method. Javascript? Asp.NET? Flash? Java? Silverlight?

I am at a point where I need to access some web services to download information from my SWF using AS 3.0.I have not been able to find any built-in support for web service invocation and consumption of results in AS 3.0. Am I looking in the right places? (note: I am not familiar with Flex and I am not using it).
So what I did was to build my own HTTP/SOAP request and POSTing it using a URLRequest. That works and I got the results back, however, I was just looking at the results and was wondering if there is some library out there that can help me parse the XML results of the web service call.
Is there any built-in support for calling and parsing web service data for AS 3.0? And if not, any useful tools out there that can make this task easier/simpler?

I want to add some custom string into the FMS log file. If I am playing a video and I want to append some string every time when that video is played, which is in some way useful to me in analyzing FMS log, then is there anything provided or some function in which we can just pass the string as an input argument that appends it at appropriate place in the log file.
