I'm trying to write some code to catch all Errors and ErrorEvents however i cant seem to get it working for thrown Errors, only ErrorEvents.
The following works fine
package

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.ErrorEvent;

I am new in Flex, and I am trying to retrieve info from an external url's information. So right now I am using a call a url from another server when the user clicks on the link( this brings up the IFrame with the url embeded). If successful (based on arguments sent with the url) then a correct page will load up. But, if unsuccessful, ( i will get a exception error on the webpage embeded on the link i have given) then i need to display a pop up that says error and return back to the previous page. Is there a way to check if i am getting an exception error from the url site i am retrieving?
Is this possible to load the urls info first and if success then load, and if not bring pop up? ** additional note, I am trying to catch a servlet exception http 500. Below is a peice of the code, so when this component is called, by a click button, it puts this IFrame in the view contents with the url, but i want to know if the http status code is recieving 500, or 400 etc. so i can stop this call and load up instead a error popup.

Is it possible to get the target/origin of errors and error events when using UncaughtErrorEvent.UNCAUGHT_ERROR ?
I am logging runtime errors of users using a complex flash app and would like to know where things are failing. The target of the UncaughtErrorEvent is tracing as LoaderInfo (which is, I assume, because it is also kicking out the UncaughtErrorEvent) and the target of the ErrorEvent is null.
this.loaderInfo.uncaughtErrorEvents.addEventListener(UncaughtErrorEvent.UNCAUGHT_ERROR,

Is it possible to log any and all errors in Flash? The debug player definitely has access to the information when a bug is encounted, is there a way to get that info and send it off in the background?
View 7 Repliesi have written a class that is basically a bunch of faders that lets you drag your mouse along and draw curves. when you hold the mouse and go outside the movie clip though, you get lot's of reference errors. it doesn't seem to affect much, and for the moment i am just catching the errors with try / catch, and not responding to them. is this considered good practice, or should i try and track own the problem further, seeing as it seems t be working fine as-is?
View 1 RepliesI have a class DataFile which is the top level class that I am serializing. DataFile contains an ArrayCollection which in-turn contains objects which extend ArrayData, each which overrides readExternal in different ways.
Over the course of the development the ArrayData object from version 1.0 is now different than the ArrayData object in version 1.1.
This causes deserialization to fail, most often with a null object error.[code]...
Do you know anything similar to UncaughtErrorEvent but for flex 3.4 and flash player 9.0 ? I've seen that this UncaughtErrorEvent should work for flex 4 and flash 10.1, but not less.Is there anything for the versions mentioned to globally catch the exceptions in flex?
View 1 Repliesin an attempt to narrow down a very frustrating problem with my project, I've implemented an UncaughtErrorEvent listener which will trace uncaught errors to a textfield that I can view.To test this out, I've forced the application to encounter errors at very specific points, to ensure that the errors are being handled properly.
In the flash sandbox environment, the errors displayed properly in the textfield, however, running the application in browser does NOT show any kind of error! It moves right past the errors as though they never happened!
I don't really get UncaughtErrorEvent working for my Air 2.6 application. if i step through the code with the debugger, i get very strange results.that's the code:
public class Main extends Sprite{
public function Main(){
loaderInfo.uncaughtErrorEvents.addEventListener(UncaughtErrorEvent.UNCAUGHT_ERROR,

Recently I configured my BlazeDS to use Array instead of ArrayCollection for performance reasons. Additionally I adjusted my templates to generate Array properties.Everything wen't fine. All except one function that causes TypeError: Error #1034. These are being thrown before the result callback is called. It claims to have problems casting an ArrayCollection to Array. I removed the generated types to make Flex use Objects instead, but these did not contain any ArrayCollections. My question now is: How can I get the stack-traces of errors thrown in event-handlers? I allready added handlers for unhandledExceptions in all of my modules and they are called if errors occur in code triggered from user-interaction, but they don't seem to be able to catch stuff thrown by event-handlers.How can I track these Errors?
PS: The classes are:

I have included the Uncaughterrorevent handler for the LoaderInfo. Which worked fine in my actionscript project.
That was until I attempted to use a browser with a FP version of 10,0. This then fails to load the SWF unless i take out all references to UncaughtErrorevent.
I did try only adding the error handler if flash player 10,1 > is installed. But still doesn't work. Even having a reference to UncaughtErrorEvent as parameter in a function causes the SWF not to load.
I have this code:
function LoadLogo():void {
parent_container = new Sprite();
addChild(parent_container)
var path:String = "images/logo.png";
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(path);
[Code] .....
Works fine in another file, but not here. The trace prints. The error never does...even when the path is deliberately incorrect. The trace doesn't print if it's in the first line of LoadedLogo. No error is ever thrown.
When I try to access the uncaughtErrorEvents dispatcher when loaded directly, everything works well. But when I try the same code when loaded by another swf I get a reference error.
protected function onAddedToStage(e:Event):void {
trace("Flash version: " + Capabilities.version);
try {

EDIT: Also have tried this with stage.loaderInfo, instead of just loaderInfo.
I have a main Flex Application ('A.swf') loading a SubApplication (defined in' B.swf') via a SWFLoader and I need to listen for UncaughtErrorEvent from the SubApplication. I'm not able to get my event listeners to be called when I throw an error from within the SubApp ('B.swf').After reading the asDoc for UncaughtErrorEvent and UncaughtErrorEvents I have added an event listener to A.swf's loaderInfo (The 'outter' main app) and also to B.swf's loaderInfo (though the Docs say not to do it here it is part of the event sequence in the capture and bubble phase...) as well as the SWFLoader internal FlexLoader.uncaughtErrorEvent (per Docs) like so:[code] The event listener setup on the Loader.uncaughtErrorEvents is not firing when SubApplication in B.swf throws an error. Instead the listener on the main app's (A.swf) loaderInfo fires. Moreover, the event recieved by A.swf's loaderInfo has an eventphase equal to 'EventPhase.AT_TARGET' which the asDoc says should only be dispatched in the capture and bubble phases.

I have a site I'm maintaining that consists of multiple pages that tween in their menus on a single monstrous AS2 timeline. I've broken the timeline into their own swfs that I want to now network with a swf loader and AS3 code. I've kept the timeline tween-ins, after stripping the AS2 code off all buttons. I put the AS3 code on the last frame of the timeline in an .as layer.So on the main page, on the last frame of the animation in an ActionScript layer, I put the following:
Code:
var defaultSwf:URLRequest=new URLRequest("defaultHeadShot.swf");
var swfLoader:Loader=new Loader();
swfLoader.load(defaultSWF);
addChild(swfLoader);
[code]....
I keep getting the Type 1009 error. I'm trying not to have to rebuild the graphics from the ground up, which it doesn't seem like I will have to do. I think it's probably got something to do with putting all the code at then end of these complex tweening timelines, and that a line of code that offers a scoping cue might be the answer, but I'm stumped.
The preloader I usually use executes an addChild(loadedMovie)statement in response to an Event.COMPLETE event from the loaded swf's contentLoaderInfo object (a common approach, I believe.) The problem with this (as many of us know) is that the loaded swf starts running before the Event.COMPLETE event gets thrown, which means that once the child is added, it is already a few frames into its timeline. What I need is a way for the loaded swf not to start playing til its COMPLETE event gets thrown.
View 5 RepliesI have a ScrollPane component instance that I expect to throw an IOErrorEvent as it tries to load a file. Essentially, I want to set it up to look for one file, and if it doesn't find it, it throws an errorEvent and then I handle that by looking for a different file. I understand that the ScrollPane doesn't throw a standard IOError when this happens because the load is asynchronous, and that I need to listen for an IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR event instead. I've attached a listener for this on my ScrollPane, but it doesn't seem to ever catch the event. Here's my code:

I'm working on implementing communication between an Adobe AIR app and a browser Flash object, and the LocalConnection documentation mentions an asyncError as a potential event:
asyncError: Dispatched when an exception is thrown asynchronously — that is, from native asynchronous code.
However, that's the only documentation I can find on it. Does anyone know what this error actually means? I've searched around but couldn't find any reference -- most sample code I found does an addEventListener() for the asyncError but doesn't give any clue as to what it means or when it could occur (i.e. if it could occur when sending or when recieving).The Adobe documentation page also lists potential events for each method, but asyncError isn't listed under any specific method, only for the general class.
I am trying to use the new unCaughtErrorEvent, as explained here: [URL] When testing the event I run across two problems:
1 - when testing the movie from the flash IDE, the uncaught error is indeed caught and handled (as in the example) BUT the original
error still gets thrown! For example, when loading an XML file that does not exist: - first the uncaughterror event gets called. (good!) - then I get an unhandled event error (ioErrorEvent for not finding the xml file). Isn't the whole point of catching uncaught errors that you can catch ALL these errors? This way it seems rather useless to me.
2 - when testing the uncaughterror handler from a html page, the debugger gives an entirely new error: VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.events::UncaughtErrorEvent could not be found. So for now, I'm truly baffled as to what UncaughtErrorEvent is supposed to do and why it doesn't work
I have a skin that's base clas is GraphicRectangularBorderSkin (from degrafa). I'm using it as a panel skin. I'm using Degrafa 3.2, Flex 3.2.

View 1 RepliesIt's like this: I got this .swf which takes a variable in the url, like: myswf.swf?id=1. I put it on my server and I embed it in a html-file on my server and it works fine. The swf takes the parameter(id) and it uses it correctly. THOUGH.. When I let some other person embed it in a html-file on their own server (you know, like you do with Youtube videos) it seems as if the swf doesn't get the parameter. If I run the html-file locally on my computer and links the <embed> tag to thesite.com/myswf.swf?id=1 it doesn't work neither, though if i link it to the local swf in the same folder it works fine. I don't get it, what's the problem here? Did anyone experience the same thing, and if so, did you solve it? How?
View 3 RepliesWhen the user clicks and drags across the movie, it changes frames--forward or backward according to which direction they drag. When they're on the last frame it should go to the first frame, and vice versa, if they're dragging in the associated direction.For some reason, there seems to be a minimum speed of mouse movement to go across this point, where it's not present to go between any other pair of slides.Here's the code:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopClick);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickStart);

In my workplace we are mantaining a lot of ecommerce websites,some coded better than others. On some of those, sometimes uncaught exceptions are thrown, and showed by the alertbox from the flash player debug (If you have it installed).To rise the average user experience I'd like to report all those exceptions throught a in house tool we already have.Is there a way to catch those exceptions?Maybe the flash player debug exposes them to javascript, or in some other way.
View 2 RepliesConsider this scenario we have a class A which is singleton it has a function Sum(a,b) ** . Now we have two classes **Class B and Class C respectively. Both classes (B,C) call add function and listen for a event.
Class A
{
function add(a:int,b:int):void
{
[Code]....
Similarly there is a C and D class. Now when lets say both classes call A's add function (when A is singleton) how does one insure that the right answer is returned to the right listener.
Secondly what if the calls are changing something, is there a locking in singleton?
Firstly I feel this question is not a duplicate for : Easiest implementation of onReleaseOutside in AS3?
Now, the problem , I want to do some action when the mouse_down happened inside the stage, but the mouseup happened outside it. e.g check google finance charts, try dragging the change range divider and then make the drag such that your mouse exists the browser screen, and then do a mouse_up outside the browser, this will trigger some action inside the stage , i.e make the range stick to the position it was, when the mouse exited the window.)
I know how to catch usual lowercase letters. I'm using KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN and compare the code to the ASCII table to find out which key was pressed. Now, I also want to be able to find out if there is, for example SHIFT+A pressed, and I have no idea how to implement this. I mean, in my program SHIFT and A are absolutely different keys which have nothing to do with each other, and they both will call KeyboardEvents when pressed. In Georgian alphabet some letters are typed by combination of SHIFT and English letters, for example W on Georgian keyboard means წ, when SIFT+W means áƒ. Absolutely different letters, as you can see. And I want to be able to catch both, coz I'm currently developing Georgian-language game.
View 2 RepliesI have a series of .swf files that I inherited from an old version of a site I'm trying to rebuild.
When flash_element.submitForm() is called, they POST some data directly to a static url ("/submit"), then depending on the response, reload the browser page.
I would very much like to capture the data that they POST using javascript - preferably without it getting sent at all - so that I can have more intelligent logic to handle to request/response than is built into the .swf files I've inherited.
Basically: When a flash object makes a http request, can I catch and cancel this event in Javascript?
I've been developing in flash for about 5 years now and consider myself a solid intermediate level developer, but I have a gap in my knowledge of events. I don't understand when bubbling events or catching events would be beneficial. I'm guessing there is a very obvious use for them, and being mostly self taught I've probably developed 'work arounds' to solve whatever issue they fix.
I've read the documentation and programmed a few test cases, but either for the interfaces I've developed or for whatever reason I've never ended up using them.
