XML :: Flex - How To Encode Reserved Characters In ActionScript
Dec 15, 2009
I am writing a business app in Flex that uses web services to communicate with a middle tier. The web services accept and return messages in XML format. In many cases, I need to be able to allow the user to type something like the following into a field in the app, which in turn will be added as an element in an XML payload bound for a SOAP web service (without the quotes):
"account balance < 1000"
The Flex parser chokes when trying to serialize an element with this in the Text node (e.g., account balance < 1000. So I need some way to encode the "<" to "<" prior to doing the XML serialization. In addition, I would prefer a generic way to do this, such as with an attribute on the service declaration, since I have over 40 services that must support this kind of input.

I'm receiving an RSS feed from a source I can't change. Each item record has the following structure...
<item xmlns:media="
http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">
<title>Sample Title</title>
<link>
http://sampleURL.com</link>
[Code]...
This is a problem if the feed changes it's structure. I'd much rather get the value by name but it doesn't seem to work.

Currently I work on localization for a Flex application. From an article I know that you can control the localization with the following FlashVars:
-resourceModuleURLs
-localeChain
Are there any other FlashVars reserved by Adobe that a Flash/Flex Developer should know about?

Is there any client-side technology to send get request with unencoded query string?I want to send some reserved symbols to server in URL without url encoding (eg. '>' or ']'). (I want to test server's behavior).
An XMLHttpRequest encodes these symbols automatically.

Created an editable flex grid which exposes a method called getGridData() to javascript. I am using the JSON.encode() method of the [url]....library to convert the grid object's dataProvider into JSON before returning it.
ExternalInterface.addCallback("getGridData", getGridData);
public function getGridData():String
{[code].....
However, when I sort a column in the user interface, the encode method is failing throwing the following error
Property usingCustomCompareFunction not found on mx.collections.SortField and there is no default value.

1) Each field in the form only allows 3 characters and no special characters such as @ _ ! . , etc... 2) When the user goes to the next field in the form, the previous field appears blank but the when clicking on that again, the original text appears. 3) When submitting the form, it just keeps saying "in progress" and never shows the confirmation text nor does the email get sent. There is an HTML file included with this form but I am not sure if I need to put that in as I have embedded this form into an SWF file so I don't think I need that code but let me know if I am wrong about this. I am posting both the AS code and PHP code below..

I am working on a Flex app that has a MySQL database. Data is retrieved from the DB using PHP then I am using AMFPHP to pass the data on to FlexThe problem that I am having is that the data is being copied from Word documents which sometimes result in some of the more unusual characters are not displaying properly. For example, Word uses different characters for starting and ending double quotes instead of just " (the standard double quotes). Another example is the long dash instead of -.All of these characters result in one or more accented capital A characters appearing instead. Not only that, each time the document is saved, the characters are replaced again resulting in an ever-increasing number of these accented A's appearing.
Doing a search and replace for each troublesome character to swap it for one of the none characters seems to work but obviously this requires compiling a list of all the characters that may appear and means there is scope for this continuing as new characters are used for the first time. It also seems like a bit of a brute force way of getting round the problem rather than a proper solution.Does anyone know what causes this and have any good workarounds / fixes? I have had similar problems when using utf-8 characters in html documents that aren't set to use utf-8. Is this the same thing and if so, how do I get flex to use utf-8?

what's the easiest way to cut string in Flex ?I mean, I have a sequence of urls, I want them at most 60 characters length. If they are longer they should be cut and "..." should be added at the end.
<mx:LinkButton label="{bookmarksRepeater.currentItem.name}" click="navigateToURL(new URLRequest(event.currentTarget.label.toString()))" />

I am simulating a multi-column combobox by introducing spaces between each column, such that all rows for the 3 columns should appear in a single line. The gap in this implementation is that due to the varying widths of characters, this spacing technique does not work. How to set the combobox characters to have the same width? The other approach is to calculate the width occupied by characters in each column and then set the start position of the next column. How to achieve this?

Any way to get the exact position for every character inside a textflow?, also I'm having trouble with the TLF documentation, is there anny documentation that shows more on how to work with it in actionscript rather than mxml, I am looking to write my own component and perhaps not use richtexteditor if I don't need to. How to get each characters position in the textflow:
private function getCharPosition():void {
for (var i:int=0; i<=textController.flowComposer.numLines; i++) {
var textFlowLine:TextFlowLine = textController.flowComposer.findLineAtPosition(i);
var textLine:TextLine = textFlowLine.getTextLine();
trace('number of atoms in this line: ' + textline.atomCount);
[Code] .....
This returns an error that's why I have try and cache, I have tried to change textLine.atomCount to -1 but that wont work either. Now I don't know what character exactly that I have the position for.

I am developing a Flex based window application. In that I have used a textArea, Now when I type some characters like ctrl+b, ctrl+e or ctrl+q, it shows some square characters in text area, I think these are some unicode characters but why these are being entered.
Unlike in simple textArea control on adobe example when I presses these key combination, there is nothing being entered, so why this only with me.
This is my window setup code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"

I am running into issues displaying Thai characters in Flex components that make use of the Flash Text Engine (FTE), specifically on Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.Here's a blurb of my compiler font managers in flex-config.xml:
<flex-config>
<target-player>10.2.0</target-player>
<!-- Specifies the version of the compiled SWF -->[code].....
Thai characters render correctly in mx components such as TextField so far. However, FTE components such as TextLine show those crappy-looking boxes as a substitution. My initial guess was that somehow one of the compiler font managers declared in flex-config.xml was not finding the right system font to fallback to for Thai characters. So, I ensured the system font was installed by going to System Preferences > Language and Text > Edit List. Then I changed fontFamily to Arial, Ayuthaya.Still was seeing the boxes of evil.
Next I figured that perhaps the Arial font might be assigning a box for each unicode value corresponding to a Thai character. So it was effectively overriding the Ayuthaya system font. So I changed fontFamily once more to just Ayuthaya and this worked with one issue - Ayuthaya looks inherently different from Arial for non-thai characters.is there a less invasive way to support Thai in FTE components such that the appearance of the text is closer to the Arial font? I would rather not embed a font because I'm constrained on SWF size.

how to output characters from foreign languages in Flex and ActionScript.
To start, I'm just trying to output Cyrillic in a text control, but its just not working.
Ive tried BOM (Byte Order Marks) indicating UTF-8 in the XML file containing the text. I also specified "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" in that file, and also in the actual MXML file. The actual text control is in a seperate AS3 file without a BOM, but I'm compiling everything with -actionscript-file-encoding="UTF-8".
The original cyrillic text came from an html file with a BOM indicating utf-8. I can paste that text into any html file with the same BOM and it displays correctly; take out the BOM and its garbage, so all that is needed is the correct Byte Order Mark at the start of the html file.

Does anyone know what I need to do to get a flex text control to display cyrillic characters for example. [wvxvw? hebrew?] In addtion to the main .swf (.mxml) file there are font libraries loaded that are also in a seperate .swf The text control is subclassed from Flex.Text and in a seperated .AS file. Then to top it, the actual text in cyrillic is coming from an .xml file.I've tried "<?xml version="1.0" encoding='UTF-8' " in the main .mxml file and the xml file. I believe I've put Byte Order Marks (BOM's) for utf-8 in the .AS file and maybe some of the other files. I've compiled everything with specifying the utf-8 encoding as well. I get nothing where the characters are supposed to be.

I was wondering if there was a way to encode a SWF with ActionScript 3. For example, could you take a MovieClip and encode it into a separate SWF file? If this isn't possible in the Flash player, is it possible with AIR?

I have this video that a client want's me to put on his website. Now the video is about 10 minutes long and its made up of about 4 different sections. He wants me to make it so people can click on links to jump around in the video.For instance there is a section called "Home Control" and one called "Lighting" that when clicked would jump to that section of the video.From a bandwith perspective what makes sense. Should I just have one FLV that is the whole video and create markers so that it will just jump to whatever section people want to go to or should I break the video up into 4 different FLV's?
