View 3 RepliesI am using Adobe Flash Builder 4.
I've run into this issue with my latest project, but I was able to re-create it with an almost empty project. Here is what I've done.
Created a new Flex Project Created a locale/en_US folder within this project. Added a class that extends SparkDownloadProgressBar. All this class does is attempt to create a Label.
When I try to debug this application, I get the following error.
Error: Could not find compiled resource bundle 'components' for locale 'en_US'.
at mx.resources::ResourceManagerImpl/installCompiledResourceBundle()[E:dev4.0.0frameworksprojectsframeworksrcmx
esourcesResourceManagerImpl.as:340]
[Code]....
The Flex Compiler/Additional Compiler Arguments section does contain "-locale en_US", but I do not want to just remove this as I am planning to have this load different property files based on the localization region at run-time and how I understand it, I will need to add each locale that I am planning to use on the compile argument line.
In the simplest of Flex Projects, create an MXML Flex Module and then load it using the ModuleManager.Create an ActionScript class that extends Module and then configure your project to compile that into a Module.Load this new module instead. The project compiles, but crashes when running with the following error:"Error: Could not find compiled resource bundle 'containers' for locale 'en_US'."I believe the compiler is failing to compile the required class definitions into ActionScript only module, while it succeeds for the MXML module.I can see that my skeleton MXML module is slightly larger than my ActionScript module (66KB vs. 45KB).
View 3 RepliesHopefully this is a straight forward question but as far as resources when compiling a flash project is flash more cpu dependent or gpu dependent? Trying to spec out a machine and need to determine what flash is going to use more.
View 1 RepliesI've created an application that includes a number of Modules and uses Parsley framework. Ant is used to build the application.Recently I thought of using Resource Bundles and implemented it in the system by creating a locale/en_US folder under the src. I added a portal.properties file with all my strings defined.In my modules, I added the metadata
<fx:Metadata>
[ResourceBundle("portal")]
</fx:Metadata>
In the ant build file, I added the below lines within mxmlc.
<locale>@{locale}</locale>
<source-path path-element="${myapp.flex.app.locale}/{locale}"/>
<include-resource-bundles>portal</include-resource-bundles>
The build works fine and when I deploy the application and open it in my browser, I'm greeted with many errors thrown by the Flash player.But if I dismiss the messages, its working fine. My strings are replaced with the values in the property file, but how do I stop the runtime errors being thrown up?I get the below error.
Error: Unable to load resource module from portal at MethodInfo-637()at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()

I have checked ResourceManager, but seems like i missed something or i just checked into the wrong place
I have an resource ( embed image ) which i need to retrieve by it's name. How to do that ?
Some places in my flex app, I use ResourceManager.getInstance().getString, and other places I use mxml @Resource tag to retrieve resource properties dynamically loaded from ResourceManager. resourceManager.loadResourceModule(resourceModuleURL); But only strings from ResourceManager.getInstance().getString show proper locale based values, while the @Resource tag only returns values from en_US resource. I guess it is because en_US is what I compiled with (-locale=en_US ). So I am wondering if I am using a dynamicly-loaded resource, do I have to abandon the @Resource tag and use ResourceManager.getInstance().getString ?
View 1 RepliesI want to store some test data for a FlexUnit test in small XML files in my Flex project, and access them trivially for the flex test. How can I load these bits of data synchronously? HTTPService is the way I'd be loading them _a_synchronously, but adding event handlers to my test cases seems like a bit of overkill.
View 2 RepliesI use Flex3.0(SDK 3.2).
I have a question Flex(resourceModuleURLs).
I am making loading of the resource using flashVars properties in the HTML wrapper as follows now.

I'm writing a flex application that polls an xml file on the server to check for updated data every few seconds, and I'm having trouble preventing it from caching the data and failing to respond to it being updated.
I've attempted to set headers using the IIS control panel to use the following, without any luck:
CacheControl: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
I've also attempted adding a random HTTP GET parameter to the end of the request URL, but that seems like it's stripped off by the HttpService class before the request is made. Here's the code to implement it:
http.url = "test.xml?time=" + new Date().getMilliseconds();
And here's the debug log that makes me think it failed:
(mx.messaging.messages::HTTPRequestMessage)#0
body = (Object)#1
clientId = (null)

My swf is being served via http protocol. I don't really see this being easily changed. There's a resource that a website has opened up via their api that I need to access but it is using https protocol. Because of this my swf can't access the resource because of security settings.
Option 1 would be to serve my swf via https. I can't do this at the moment.
Option 2 would be set secure="false" property of the cross domain policy file. I can't do this, I dont have access.
Is there any way in action script to list all the keys (not values) of given resource bundle.My use case is to combine content of two different resource bundle. I wan to do this by creating a new resource bundle at runtime and add each key value pair from two different resource bundles into one.
View 1 RepliesI embed a text file into my Flex project and read its contents using code like this:[code]The contents of the file is abc. The problem is that the string loaded from the file is not comparable to other strings even though when printed or viewed in the debugger (in FlashDevelop) it seems to be perfectly fine.[code]How do I convert it into a proper string? I tried to use the string methods such as substring to create a copy, but that does not seem to be the solution.
View 1 RepliesI added an external stylesheet file (css) to my flex project. Is there a possibility that the css is not compiled with the swf? It would be great if I could put the swf on my webspace and afterwards only change a css file to customize my application and fit it to the colors of my homepage.
View 1 RepliesI've got external folder with resources (graphics, movies, etc) which is shared between a couple of projects. I'm able to link this resource folder in FlashBuilder (as described in [URL]). After that all the paths to embeds are relative to the project, and that's the behaviour I want.
This linked resource appears in .project file as follows:
<linkedResources><link>
<name>resources</name>
<type>2</type>
<locationURI>DOCUMENTS/Shared/resources</locationURI>
</link></linkedResources>
Note, that it isn't source folder and it is not included in compilerSourcePath tag. The question is how can I specify resource linked folder in mxmlc command line arguments? -source-path is not working here, relative pathes to embeds can not be resolved.
I've made a library which I'd like to compile to an SWC file, I've tried to do this in FDT by choosing FDT AS3 Library as Run settings, but all I end up with is a 0kb .swc file. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? I can't find much when I google it either
View 2 RepliesI'm attempting to compile a Flex application from an ANT script, inside of Eclipse (CFBuilder, based on Eclipse), and I've run into this error:
Could not load definitions from resource flexTasks.tasks. It could not be found.
I haven't been able to find anything that gives directions on where this file (flexTasks.tasks) should be copied to, if it's needed at all. Some places indicate that it should be part of the flexTasks.jar file. I've tried two different things:
Copy the jar file into the ant/plugins/lib folder (and restart my CF Builder instance)Specify the path to the jar in the classpath attribute, as suggested by the comment on this page Neither helps me get past this error.Here's my build script, for reference:
<project name="Tagging" default="compile-tagging" basedir=".">
<!-- setup flex compilation capability -->
<taskdef resource="flexTasks.tasks" />
<property name="flex.src" value="./src" />

I'm having problems compiling applications with remote ant, something similar to this. However the flex compiler seems to have problems with this. When I run the same script on my local compiles everything without any problems but when I try the remote ant it fails without giving more information.

View 2 RepliesI'm working on a project on Flex AS3.0 project in Flex Builder. It was working fine, I changed the name of one of my classes and all the related process. Now when I compile dubug the thing, it keeps on compiling an older version even if I comment all the code in main. It still compiles the old files. I have cleaned the project , but still the same old problem.
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to export Table data to a MIME Resource(Flex3 component) from Web Dynpro?
I have a flex3 component(US heat Map) which accepts a arrayCollection (state and value pairs). I need to create a webdynpro wrapper for this to use in Visual Composer 7.2.
What I am trying to do is migrate the flex components I made for Visual Composer 7.0 (using a VCXL wrapper) to Visual Composer 7.2 using web Dynpro. I have managed to migrate components which require simple input data types like integer or string, but I am stuck at those which require complex structures like an array collection.
I tried to deploy my otherwise working flex app on a web server (tomcat 6).It threw a Channel.Security.Error.After some research, I became aware that flash movie loaded from flash_movie_domain will not be able to load resource from any other domain.Some suggested adding a crossdomain.xml.However, the crossdomain.xml route doesn't quite make sense.In this case, I am loading resources from a third party web site.My understanding is that I need this third party website to include a crossdomain.xml on their root directory in order for app to function.The third party web service is provided as is. I will not be able to change what's given. Since the third party is providing public access, it already explicitly give permission to the general public. Adding a crossdomain.xml to their root seems to be a redundant act?

View 1 RepliesI am having trouble compiling a project built in TextMate on a Mac. I have Flash Builder 4 and FlashDevelop on PC, and I cannot seem to compile the project even when I've downloaded the Flex 2 Hotfix 3 SDK. Flash Builder cannot work with Flex versions prior to Flex 3, so I'm left with Flashdevelop. When I assign the SDK path to point to the Flex 2 SDK, I get the following message when I try to compile:
command line: Error: unknown configuration variable 'static-link-runtime-shared-libraries' Use 'mxmlc -help' for information about using the command line. Build halted with errors (mxmlc). Is there something I'm missing, and is there an alternative way for me to compile this old project?
If I compile this[URL]in WonderFl it works great in both my browser and on my desktop.However, when trying to do it in Flex - Line for line - it runs very badly struggling to get 5fps.This doesn't make any sense, WonderFL uses the flex engine to compile so why does my SDK suck? I'm doing this on OS X as well by the way.. if that makes any difference?

View 1 RepliesI wanted an animation to dispatch custom events as it cycled. It became apparent that not even trace() was running. After some searching, I found the following at Adobe:[URL].."If the SWF file contains any ActionScript code, Flex prints a warning during compilation and then strips out the ActionScript from the embed symbol. This means that you can only embed the symbol itself."
I also found a work-around by Grant Skinner at:[URL].. I can proceed, but I'm still wondering. Why does mxmlc strip ActionScript from Flash compiled resources when embedding their symbols into Flex apps using metatags?

how to compile multiple files in a folder from the command line. I am planning to create a package with multiple files to form a library which I can use in my flex projects.
I've been working on a SWF that will be converted into a Projector file, no particular great shakes but some fun logic driving some aspects. Written Flex 4.5 it has been a doddle until I test the projector on a new / clean machine and without (v important this) a network connection. What happens is the movie fails with an... Error #2032: Stream Error: URL: file:///C:|/mydirectory/framework_4.5.0.20967.swz
after some research I realise this is an RSL (Runtime Shared Library) that is cached on the local machine (WIN7) under the 'C:Users\AppDataRoamingAdobeFlash PlayerAssetCache<8 Char Path>' along with a host of other RSLs. But in my disconnected state it doesn't work, however, if the machine is connected it does work (by downloading and caching the appropriate libraries from Adobe). Unfortunately I need to deploy this Projector file as a single entity and often into disconnected scenarios. Reviewing Flex's build options I've selected 'Merged into code' for the Framework Linkage that I assumed would create my single, deployable object but alas no.
