I want to build a simple web 2.0 collaborative website using asp.net MVC2 or Flash and I want to receive events from a web based interface to a desktop AIR application. For e.g, someone makes a comment on a blog post, I want that information to be passed on to a desktop air application showing that a new comment has been made. What would be a good technique to receive asynchronous events?
View 2 RepliesThis may be a very basic question but I cannot work it out now. I have a 'flash banner' on my site for which once clicked on you go to another page on the site. I want to track this click as an event. HTML event tracking works fine. Previously the code I used was:

As you see, I try to make my HorizontalList focused when application is loaded. And I actually receive Received focus message in console. But I expected that I would be able to navigate over list elements with arrow keys after setting focus. But that's not the case. They work only after clicking component with mouse. How to make list have focus and respond to arrow keys?
I have a base ShapeContainer(UIComponent). I add a uicomponent which has mouse down listener to ShapeContainer. the listener works great. When I add a simple sprite(draw square) on the ShapeContainer, The listener does not work any more. In the code, if I comment below line, The event listener works fine.

I'm considering using Adobe Air to write an application for the android marketplace.I was wondering if anyone could tell me what (if any) the limitations are with regard to getting / handling system events.For instance can you pause the app if the user receives a text message?Or detect if they have their music playing and mute your app's sounds?It would seem a real pity if Air cannot do this.

I'm trying to develop a simple mxml Flex application to start Skype from the AIR/Flashplayer runtime. Is it possible to get back events from a native Windows application? In the simple example of Skype, the OS returns control to the Flex app when Skype exits. But what about native applications which have their own event model and wants to communicate with the Flex event model. For example, a Face detection system which shows "Hello" on a Flex app when the camera detects a face. Can this be done in the current Flex framework?
View 1 RepliesI need to write an application to asynchronously upload a file to a server.
Anyone have any examples or tips as to how I can do this?
As my first Flash project of any consequence, I've created a simple banner animation that (basically) loops over a few different images, panning and fading in/out by setting the x,y coordinates, setChildIndex, and alpha. This was easy enough to code with an ENTER_FRAME event handler and a few state variables.Here are the most relevant snippets:
// Main
// XXX - Putting addEventListener() first would
// make some sense, but I would still have

View 2 RepliesI have a piece of code in my game which looks a lot like this: MultiplayerAPI.createGameRoom(function(){ successFunction(new Object()); }); Basically, the createGameRoom is performed and, upon success, the function I passed is run. However I've been running into some strange bugs recently and I'm wondering, is the instance of "new Object();" the same each time the callback function is run? It needs to be a different, fresh instance of Object each time, but I'm having some garbage collection issues which make me think it's passing the same object each time that event callback is fired,
View 2 RepliesI have a simple accessor in my class:
public function get loggedIn():Boolean
{
var loggedIn:Boolean = somePrivateMethodToCheckStatus();
return loggedIn;
}
The API I'm now working with checks login status in an asynchronous fashion:
API_Class.addEventListener(API_Class.LOGIN_STATUS,onStatusCheck);
API_Class.checkLoginStatus();
[Code]....
Is there a way I can perform this asynchronous request without exiting my accessor?
Is there a way to have a synchronous call to a URL to retrieve the HTML code? If not, is it possible to turn an asynchronous call into a synchronous one using some trick? I can't believe Adobe wouldn't implement this option. I tried looping until the result is back but then the status function never fires making my loop infinite.

I'm a ColdFusion developer and recently started working on a project in Flex. I am getting more and more frustrated with AS and Flex lately. It seems that whatever I'm trying to do is either really hard or impossible while it usually can be done with one line of code in ColdFusion. I'm still learning these languages and I'm sure my lack of knowledge is the reason but for some reason I can't get ahead with my project. It looks like the learning curve is much steeper than it should be.

Anyways, here's my code for testing this functionality. The main application file looks like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" applicationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
[code]....
This works OK except the function returns false before the HTTP call returns its result. If I un-comment the while loop the onStatus function will never be called and therefore end up with an infinite loop. Not sure why this happens.
If I have one parent class that instantiates 5-10 different child classes, each of which need to load multiple assets etc, how can I check within that parent class to make sure all of the 5-10 children are loaded & ready to go before telling the program to continue?
The tricky part is that the exact number of those 5-10 classes that are instantiated is determined at runtime, so I can never be certain which I should be waiting on and which not to be waiting on. And just to be clear, these are different modules of sorts, not multiple instances of the same exact class.
I'm currently able to record audio and video (from a webcam) to a Flash Media Server. However, in some cases users have a webcam with no builtin
microphone. In that case the flash client uses the default microphone with 'Microphone.getMicrophone();' and possibly selects the micrphone of the PC.
A delay between audio and video is caused in cases with a separated webcam and microphone. There isn't a lot of delay on an internal network (e.g. LAN) however, there is a very large delay between audio and video on an external network (e.g. WAN).
I have created a client with Flex Builder which works in a browser but also in an Air windowed application. I must connect it to a server and it has to do asynchronous request related to changing data of the server.Because of the too much expensive cost of LiveCycleDS license, I was looking for other ways, maybe open source and i found the following solutions:
Adobe BlazeDS
Granite Data Services
WebORB Community Edition
I want to ask you which is the easy way to create the solution described above, expecially i want to use J2EE application server type.
I'm developing a Flex application and am having some trouble working with asynchronous calls. This is what I would like to be able do:
[Bindable] var fooTypes : ArrayCollection();
for each (var fooType : FooType in getFooTypes()) {
fooType.fooCount = getFooCountForType(fooType);[code]....
The issue I'm running into is that both getFooTypes and getFooCountForType are asynchronous calls to a web service. I understand how to populate fooTypes by setting a Responder and using ResultEvent, but how can I call another service using the result?
I have a recursive call which includes an asyn operation (file copy) .. I want to find out when the recursive call finishes (along with all asyn operations).

I have a flash site that calls a JavaScript function to track events inside of the application, the _gaq is already implemented in the section of the html and it works perfectly fine with one account:
function customTracker(clickEventName)
{
_gaq.push (["_trackPageview", clickEventName]);
}
but now my customer wants to include special events from 3rd party companies and needs these to track into a different GA account. Before I try this out on the live server I wanted to ask if this would work:
function customTracker(clickEventName)
{
_gaq.push(["_setAccount", "UA-XXXXXXXXX-X"]); // the regular account
_gaq.push (["_trackPageview", clickEventName]);

In Flex, I'm making a set of asynchronous calls:
service.method1.send().addResponder(responder1);
service.method2.send().addResponder(responder2);
service.method3.send().addResponder(responder3);
I want to execute some code after all of these service calls have returned (either success or failure, I don't care which). How can I do this?
I want to download a file in flex. Here is my desired flow User clicks "view" Code goes to backend and get the file as an array of bytes bytes sent from java to flex via a callback flex then opens dialog and user decides where to save the file Unfortunately the last part is not on a user event but on the callback from the server. When I call new FileReference().save(...) it tells me this. An alternative could be
User clicks "view" Flex shows user the dialog and user chooses where to save file Flex goes to backend requesting bytes of file bytes sent to flex and data is saved. For this approach I am unsure how I can make the save asynchronous from the dialog. I want the user to save a file but the data but come from an array of bytes from the backend
Just wanted to ask if there is any advantage for either using mouse click event or touch tap events, when writing apps for mobiles or tablets (for the iphone especially)?
I know that both of them should work fine, but in term of performance, is anyone better? Are there any things I should be aware of when choosing either?
By the way am using actionscript3 to implement the app.
I have an animation that I want to start when clicking on the flash window. However, I've also have some buttons on the stage. If I add an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK on the stage, then it 'eats up' the events and the buttons don't work.
I've tried some tricks, by adding some invisible buttons on top of the real ones, and use the MOUSE_OVER event to selectively enable/disable the mouseEnabled flag for the stage, but didn't work because it complains that the property or method doesn't exist (which I find odd).
I have to populate an Advanced Data Grid which have the following fields: Continent->State->Society-->Actual Value-->Estimate Value I want to simulate a financial market so i have to change some of the values by asynchronous request from an HTTPService; If necessary i'll post the .as file, but it is generated automatically by Flex Builder.

I have typical situation where big loop is loading lots of images and its done asynchronous which make browser to frees during loading and I want to make it synchronous but having big trouble doing it.

i have a question to ask about asynchronous key controls This was what i did
[Code]...
and i checked with [URL]...?newspage=6249 and it looked more or less the same, so why is it that when i move my character and when i hold down a key, it just keeps on listerning to that keypress event listener, instead of just executing the other event. So say, i tap left and after which i tap right, it will work just fine, but if i hold left and tap right, the event listerner will still be listening to the left key. So, i was wondering could anyone point me in a direction as to how should i make my code stop listening to an event as soon as another event has been dispatched?
