Flash :: Check Web Application Status Written In Flex?
Jan 18, 2010
I have a typical web application that communicates in the following way: SWF file makes service calls to Java services (Remote object, over BlazeDS on Tomcat), which in turn communicates to database.
How do I implement a status check service (hosted on another domain) that will check if the ENTIRE app is up and running? Ideally, I'd make checker SWF that would load App SWF and called its function that would return something from the database (a naive service would count rows in table and hash it with MD5), but security constrains won't let me call loaded SWF's function.
Checking the java services only is not enough, as I am not checking the status of the SWF.
I have an AIR application that uses Singletons to manage global state throughout the application. Works great for what it does (manages a network appliance). But now the client wants to spawn multiple application instances from the first instance so they can manage multiple hardware devices at the same time ... kind of like a dashboard but lots bigger.
As you can guess, I coded myself into a corner with the singletons so if I refactor the application to have a bootstrap class that launches the application logic with a button, let's say, that spawns another window that contains the same application logic, then the singletons are shared across both app windows whereas I would have liked two separate instances.
Is there a way to use singletons ( or something else ) to keep global state but create multiple instances in one application where each instance needs it's own state manager?
In a setup like this is it possible to check the cumulative status of all onLoadInit?
for(var i:Number = 0; i < limit; i++) { var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); var mclListener:Object = new Object(); mclListener.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip) {
[Code]....
Initially I was thinking that I could pass an array of Boolean's, but I'm not really sure where to add that checkpoint, because a flash frame doesn't keep looping. Would I have to add it to an onEnterFrame()?
how to check a network connection status with flash?
If XMLSocket.connect returns a value of true, the initial stage of the connection process is successful; later, the XMLSocket.onConnect method is invoked to determine whether the final connection succeeded or failed. If XMLSocket.connect returns false, a connection could not be established.
Example
The following example uses XMLSocket.connect to connect to the host where the movie resides, and uses trace to display the return value indicating the success or failure of the connection.
function myOnConnect(success) { if (success) { trace ("Connection succeeded!")
[URL] I want to know how to color a image not with any color but with exact color for example sky we can only color with blue if we color with any other color that image(sky) doesn't color
I have a flash application which consist of Grid Components, Button, Label, and Combo-box Components. All these components are used more than 70 times(simultaneously) with in the application. So Its takes too much of memory. So How can I test the memory usage of each component at the time of running. Is there any plug-in available for browsers to find the memory usage. I'm using flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0. The application suppose to run in browsers.
I have a swf that connects to Flash Media Server. What I am looking to do, is display the connection status via a green (connected) or red (not connected) icon. I need it to check frequently and update the icon according to the connection status.
I have the following code but it does not work. I have a connect/disconnect button which starts/stops my connection to FMS. That works, but when I unplug my internet connection (thereby making it impossible to be connected to FMS), it still says it is.
I got a IP Communications new account having following paramters:
[Code]...
Its showing me connecting ... Status is not getting update like: "Connection Failed" or "Connection Success". how to use the above information in this app,
I've an empty movie clip on the stage and an external swf is loaded to that movieclip. How can I check the external movie's frames are completely loaded or not from the base movie. Is it possible by targetting the empty movieclip?
I know I could use "BrowserManager.getInstance()" to find out which from URL is my app running, but it doesn't work as I would expect (you can't read url in one line - you have to wait for an event).
I want to use some assets ( buttons, etc. ) I'm creating in flash in a flex actionscript project. Since all my assets are bellow 10K, I'm not planning to load a swf ,wait until it's loaded and create the interface. I want to use a swc and just instance the clips I need. Also, I want my Button class to have some extra properties, and this is where the problem occurs.
If in the Linkage Properties in the Flash IDE I add a reference to a custom Button Class and trace a child of the Button MovieClip, I get the right trace. If then I create a Button, in the Main class in Flex, using the generated swc file and trace the same child of the Button MovieClip, I get null. Why is that ? Is there anyway to get around this ? I've considered using the Flex Component Kit, but since I'm working on a simple actionscript project and I'm not using the Flex framework, I see no point in using the Component Kit at this point.
I have flex application ie flight reservation . I'm able to run it in flash builder but how test it in flex monkeyI'm using flash builder 4 with sdk 4 in compatible mode with flex 3.
I am having two flash applications on a same web page. Lets say one is already accessing the camera, then if i click on the second application, it will directly start using the camera. I dont want this. I need to check if any other flash application is already accessing the camera in the same web page. Let me tell you that we cant use Camera.getCamera() and check if the camera==null, this wont work, since the camera is available.
Assuming I do NOT want to run the sends in series, but in paralell (all at once), as above, and further assuming that one, and only one of the send commands will generate a status event where level='error': ow can I detect which send command produced the status error?
giving a function reference in the result attribute of the HTTPService class like this :
protected function httpserviceCheckUpdate_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void { var version:Number = event.result.text.version as Number;[code]....
If both of them are same then how can I provide the event parameter using the second approach (as written in the result attribute of the httpservice class)? Which one of them is the better way of doing things in FLEX.
I have a flex business application and need to create some control that will show a small picture symbol of given user's MSN messenger status (online, away etc.)
Alternatively, how to insert an html page inside flex form?
There is a HTML code snippet on MSN site (supposed to be) doing exactly what I want, here it is:
[Code].....
Also I'll need to replace eb892994c712bb83 in this snippet with user's cid code.
The following is my codes. This is still work in progress; so, you will see some functions with empty contents. Plus, this is my first Flex application; please bear with me. This is a quiz application that gets the questions and answers to each questions from a ColdFusion web service. There are three types of questions, True or False, Multiple Choice with single selection, and Multiple Choice with multiple selections. So, based upon the question type, the application would dynamically generate the appropriate amount of radio buttons or check boxes for the users to select. I got these working. The problem that I am having is, I am not sure how to check what the users have actually selected. In some other forums and posts on other web site, it said that I can use event.currentTarget.selectedValue to get the user selection. But when I actually do it, I got a run-time error saying, "Property selectedValue not found on mx.controls.FormItem and there is no default value." My question is, what do I need to do to capture the user selections?
I want to check my AIR application is running in my system first time or not. Most of my searching lead to one answer that to write a file out side and check the file existing or not. But my requirement is different and if re install the same version again, then it should be a first run.
I have been working on a flex application with java, as i have used Life Cycle Data Service for communication, i wana know, is there any function of flex, where i can see the loading status in percentage, that how much record is being loaded.Problem is, if there is lengthy record, no body comes to know, whats happening with software, like in Comboboxes or Grids, users usually think it as a BUG in application, but ofcourse it is not.I need such graphical loader, which keeps on loading with proper status in percentage, until it receives all data from JAVA (SQL Server).
I started using Adobe Stratus yesterday and made a simple chat application. Today, I was to learn how to use the group feature. But when I try to instantiate a GroupSpecifier variable, I get this error: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: GroupSpecifier. P2P.mxml Earlier I was getting a similar error with NetStream (in place of GroupSpecifier). I have Flex 4.1 and it's set to Flash Player 10.1.
I'm trying to download SWF files from a site the traditional way, but a few of the SWF files have been created dynamically through what I believe to be ASP.net 2.0.
Every attempt to D/Load results in the correct dimensions, height and width, but it just gives me empty white space.
URL...As written in its description "It's not sure if the plugin works in production mode"Plus Tomas Lin Lesson 2 in his blog post URL...So, I've decided to look further and found URL... which is also based on nightly builds that was never released.Digging a little more I found the following correspondence:URL...Where it seems that Grails and Flex 3 are old buddies and the only question is whether Flex 4 integration worth the effort.So now I'm confused, can't figure out what is the current status, and how should I integrate a Flex client component with Grails server:Preferably Using flash builder 3 (no 4 for Linux yet)Performance is crucial, so I guess AMF (blazeDS) would be better than REST or WS
My air program freezes after running for some time without any error. The app will freeze (non responsive) and the debugger will claim the program has terminated with status 0.
I absolutely love good defender games (e.g. Gemcraft, Protector: reclaiming the throne) as they can be intellectually quite challenging; it's like playing chess but a little less thinking and a bit more action. Sadly, there are not that many good ones out there and I thought I would create one myself and share it with the rest of the world by making it available on-line.I have never worked with ActionScript but when it comes to on-line games, this is the main choice. I have tried to find a decent 2D game in the form of a Java applet but to no avail. Why is this so? I could write the game, most comfortably, in Delphi for Win32 but then people would need to download the executable, which could deter some form downloading it, and also it would only work on Windows. I am also familiar with Java, having worked with Java for the last four years or so; although, I don't have much experience with games programming.
Should I not be deterred by the fact that all on-line games are written for in Flash and create my defender game as a Java applet, or should I consider learning ActionScript and games development for the ActionScript Virtual Machine (AS3 looks very much like Java... but still, it's an entirely new technology to me and I might never use it professionally.)
A quick noob question. I'm an animator I would like to see the actual frame written to the screen after export flash movie. I want to use it like a guide to timing animation.
