Does anyone know if there is a Flex 3 or Flex 4 equivalent to the JQuery DelayedObserver?

If not, how could we go about implementing it in Flex?
My question concerns the following tutorial I've been working through:Building a Flex Type-Ahead Text Input
I was successful in enabling a search of available terms using the characters entered in the input, but only irrespective of the location of the characters in the terms. However, I am wondering how one might have the characters match only the beginning of the terms.
For example, suppose I enter the string "app" into the text input. How can I get only "apple" and not, for instance, "pineapple" to appear as an option?
I've been working with Flash Builder for quite a long time, but just lately, developing a relative small project in Flex, when I try to auto complete the code sometimes the whole application crashes (keeps loading forever). It happened when I was writing <Style source="" /> or even when it was auto generating an handler for an event, so I guess it doesn't depend on the classes I use.
View 2 RepliesI need to make an auto complete component in flex that fetches the auto complete results from a remote database using a webservice. I have the webservice and querying part worked out. I've already made custom components in action script by extending VBoxes. However I cannot figure out how to generate the popup window that is supposed to show under the text input in my auto complete text box.

I have an application which displays employee information. If the user opening the detailed employee information page is not authorized to make changes I set the TextInput to disabled. Some users are reporting rendering issues with this. The TextInput's text value does not appear inside the box but is misaligned and is outside of the component. You can see the screenshow below of the disabled ID column where the numbers which are supposed to be in the TextInput box are far off to the right.

I wanted to make live drums play with keyboard shortcuts. The problem was that MP3 is not good enough in this case (encoders adds random silence at beginning of the sound) and also flash itself makes delay (I tried use already buffered file with play specified_start_point_in_miliseconds)). So my solution is OGG (this format is gapless). I use compiled swc file from Adobe Alchemy library and simple frontend for it. Everything works fine, OGG file is playing, but its still much delay - no matter if its lodeaded external or as embedded, and if its first or n time. How to make sound play fast equally to key press.
Here is my very simple example code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
import flash.events.SampleDataEvent;
import com.mauft.OggLibrary.OggStream;
import com.mauft.OggLibrary.OggEmbed;

I'm using an HTTP request to download a image in binary format. When the downloading is complete, I want to process it, but I also want to pass the image's ID to the complete handler function.
[Code]...
set some filters on the bitmap after it has been loaded.During development (Debug mode), everything worked and the even has been fired just fine.But now I switched to Release mode and the complete event doesn't fire anymore.To load the image, I set the source property of the image to an URL that points to a PNG image. That does still work in release mode, so the image appears correctly.It's just that the "complete" event doesn't fire, no matter what I try.

View 1 RepliesPosted this to the Adobe Support forum too, but so far, no luck there. My Flash CS4 installation on one computer is not giving me the auto complete choices it should for AS3. When I open an FLA for AS3, the ActionScript panel gives me the correct auto complete options for AS3.When I create a new AS file, link it to an AS3 FLA file, the auto complete options in the AS file are AS2 related and I cannot figure out why it's doing this or how to get my AS3 options back.I have some screen shots posted there to show what's happening.

I am using Flash CS5 and I have created a large, rarely changing framework that I don't want to be recompiled every time I use it in my projects.I must be doing something wrong because the "auto-complete" functionality doesn't show the names of the parameters of the functions.For example, I have a function:
public class Hey {
public function show(name:String, num:Number, data:Array):void {...}
}

For some reason, in the past few days, the auto complete feature doesn't work well when I'm creating a new class file. I'm trying to write a new class which uses away3D, and even though the auto-complete works well when I start a new AS3 file, it just doesn't work as far as away3D is concerned when I try to create a new AS3 Class file. Other features of the auto-complete don't work as well, for some reason.
View 1 RepliesI often want to run a movie but are only insterested in the debugging output and switch back to my code or to the debugger.I discovered, that the movie framerate is significantly slower in an inactive browser window. This causes e.g. certain async unit tests to fail when run in the Flex UI. So it's not that trivial
View 1 RepliesI've been working with a 3rd-party multiplayer engine for a game I'm developing. A lot of messages get sent during certain times (loading, etc) to the point where it is possible that multiple messages may be sent per gameloop. To solve this problem, I am attempting to create a delayed message processing scheme. this function is invoked every time a new message is received:
Code:
// called by the Client
public function PushMessage(gameMsg:GameMessage):void
{
messageQueue.push(gameMsg);
}
And at a point in the gameloop, I want to process these messages and clear the message queue. The only problem: there is no assurance that the messageQueue won't be modified during that time. The messages in AS3 are basically interrupts (possibly overlapping), and I can't find any way to temporarily disable event dispatching for a specific EventDispatcher-derived class.
So at this point I can think of only two options. The first is to write a mutex using a Boolean and setTimeout. I do not want to do this for obvious reasons (bad! BAD!). The second is to give up on a delayed processing model.
i currently have a Java Observer/Observable setup in which i switch on some field within the Object parameter of Observer.update (e.g. event id) to determine how to handle an Observable notification. this creates verbose code like:

In a Flex Project, whenever there's an error, I fill in the error data into a hidden TextInput then show the control to the user. I want to make it so that after showing the TextInput, it will automatically hide itself after some time with a fade effect.
View 1 RepliesI have some shared code between an Adobe AIR App and an Adobe Flex App.
On one line of this code, the program must behave differently depending on if it is running within the Air runtime, or the Flex runtime.
How can I programmatically detect the difference?
If my ComboBox is editable how can I tell if a change event comes from a change to the TextInput or a change in the selectedIndex of the drop down?

View 1 RepliesI made a test where I download a file using URLLoader - something like this:
[Code]....
in the middle of the downloading process I physically disconnect the internet connection. the download stalls - but after aproximately 30 seconds downloadSuccessful is invoked, although only half of the data was downloaded. how can I make sure that the data to be downloaded is complete and correct?
I am loading in binary files with the url class which can be quite large 10mb + and it works fine on my server but another server I am testing on it can sometimes not work. Sometimes it will not load the file and other times it will only load about 20% and it throw a complete event??? Then of course other times it works fine. This server is https maybe that has something to do this it?

I have a login form with various textInputs and a submit button. If you submit proper login credentials the system unloads the login view and loads the app view. Pretty standard. Unfortunately I've noticed this weird bug where if you hover over one of the textInput boxes with the mouse, then fill the form using only the keyboard (and leave the mouse parked on top of the textInput), and then tab to the submit button and press the space bar, i.e. login via keyboard, the mouse cursor will remain a caret in the new view, no matter what you do (move, click), until you find another textInput to undo the cursor state. I've tried to do all sorts of stuff via CursorManager but nothing seems to do the trick. I've tried dispatching events ROLL_OUT or MOUSE_OUT events to the textInput but that doesn't do the trick either.
