i have this flex app (it's a flex project created from flash builder), and it compiles fine when i build it from the IDE.it fails to compile when i do it from command line through mxmlc.i am invoking the mxmlc at the location "flash-builder-installation"sdks"flex-ver"inthe mxml file is test.mxml.i don't have any dependency on any of custom swc file.i am getting the following type errors when i compile it.[code]
View 2 RepliesThe flex compiler (mxmlc) allows the use of token substitution in the compiler config xml file, as referenced in the documentation.From the linked documentation it is clear that you can specify your own tokens for substitution on the commandline, but there are also some default/magic tokens available that Adobe has put in place.For example, the snippet below is reduced from an Adobe example on how to fiddle with the framework RSL sourcing:[code]I have highlighted two tokens in use there, namely hosted.rsl.url and build.number. These work "magically" without specifying them on the commandline.
Here is another example that vaguely shows the existence of a ${flexlib} token.Unfortunately, aside from those limited examples I can't find a whisper of documentation on what tokens are available... Is the list of tokens documented somewhere that I can't find? If not, does anyone know what the available tokens are so that this SO question can be the documentation? referenced build.number, I might as well also note that build.number doesn't seem to work quite like Adobe seems to think it does since for me it simply gives me the build number, not the whole string. ie: For flex 4.5.0.20967, ${build.number} just gives me 20967 which is not much help). I had a web link where someone was complaining about the changing implementation of these tokens, but I can't find it anymore.
How can I get the ord values of certain keys. Say if I want a function to run when the left arrow key is pressed or right arrow key. Or is there a constants list?

Does anyone know what is the syntax to use for a function's default parameter when it's a Vector? You can easily create a default value for an int or Number or even an Array, but what about a Vector?

I can do this for normal fields like Phone and LastName, but ti does not work for lookup fields like ReportsTo and Account.

var acc:DynamicEntity = new itemClass("Contact");
acc.Phone="8888";
acc.LastName="Nieddu Srl"

If you have a function that accepts a parameter of Point type, how do you assign a default value?

View 1 Replieshow to set default property values for objects that are being created in a loop.
In the example below, these propeties are the same for each object created in the loop: titleTextField.selectable, titleTextField.wordWrap, titleTextField.x
If you pull these properties out of the loop, they are null because the TextField objects have not been created, but it seems silly to have to set them each time.
var titleTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
titleTextFormat.size = 10;
titleTextFormat.font = "Arial";

I've run into an extremely odd problem. I'll give a code example to start. This is the superclass Building.
Code:
public var allowsEnemyMovement:Boolean = true;
public var information:String = "";
public var buildingName:String ="";
[Code]...
Now here's the odd part. Only SOME of the variables defined in the superclass do this. the variable information, buildingName and health all will take the default value from the super class. But the variable defenseValue will take its value from Factory's constructor. What am I doing wrong here? I would like to keep default values in the superclass so that I don't end up with null pointer errors later just in case.

View 5 RepliesI have an xml with an xml-schema. The xml-schema defines an abstract complex type with 2 optional attributes that have default values. Then I have several complex types that extend the base one. And finally nodes of the types defined.So I load the xml and when I parse each node, the optional attributes are not present at all.I've tried fooling around with the namespaces, even[code]...
No luck. Something similar was being experienced by this guy on codingforums, but that was like 5 years ago. Same is happening to me with firefox 3.0.11 - the xml is shown without the default attributes.For now I'm setting the default values in code, but isn't there a way to make them available from the xml-schema?[code]...
I would like to change the parameters of an object, or values like width and height, via javascript but I need a very lightweight method. In the end some of the thing that I want to change would be width, height and a parameters src value. So far I'm having no luck of getting it by id $('#test').attr('src','test.html') or the javascript method of getElementById().
What is the best - lightweight - method to do this?
An object being like this:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="500" data="http://www.thisembed.com" style="margin:0px;padding:0px">

I'm working on an accordion component and I was thinking that it'd be cool if I could write a very basic one and then set it up so that it would be possible to pass in any kind of container class and child class so long as they subclassed a particular parent or implemented an interface (haven't really gotten that far yet).
What I've noticed though is that I can't setup a default class for my constructor parameter. For example I'd like to do this:
Code:
public function DropDownList(containerClass:Class = ContainerSprite, childClass:Class = ChildSprite)
However it gives me the following error:
1047: Parameter initializer unknown or is not a compile-time constant.

Can we skip an optional parameter and assign value to the parameter after the skipped one?
For example I have a function:
public function Dialog(message:String,title:String="Note",dialogsize:int=99):void
{
}
I can easily call the function with a message and a title:
Dialog("HELLO","Intro");
Is there a way to skip the title and just pass in the dialogsize? I've tried it but can't make it work:
Dialog("HELLO",,dialogsize);
Is it possible to skip some optional parameters without using (rest) parameter?
How to use interfaces?
View 2 RepliesOur company is about to create and distribute (and possibly to sell ) the utility to convert Silverlight apps to its equivalents on Flash.For this purpose we're writing our own AS3-compiler. The compiler for correct work must know how to interact with the classes
backed into the FlashPlayer. The Flex Builder solves it by using the playerglobal.swc that is the part of its distribution package.As far as I know we have no right to redistribute the separate playerglobal.swc without the rest of Flex SDK.
And here is the question: Tehnically we're able to learn all the class interfaces defined inside of the playerglobal.swc with the help of e.g. the plugin ExportSWC (shipped for FlashDevelop) and redeclare them inside of our own swc (e.g. named PlayerGlobalInterfaces. swc) or somehow else.It would be enough for the correct work of our AS3-compiler without the need of using playerglobal.swc at all. But I'm not sure would it violate any copyrights or not?
Is there any way to create a sort of interface for variables? In other words to enforce a class to create and use a variable if they implement an interface or subclass something?
View 1 RepliesJust wondering if there is a way to read class static constants from a SWF file server side. I have found things like getimagesize() but it doesn't have all these details. I guess that means I need a partial decompiler.Specifically, I have this class in my Flex project:

What I was told, which sparked my curiosity on this topic:Java gui classes can implement hundreds of Listeners and Callbacks and many books teach you to implement all these interfaces in your gui class. Alternatively, these aspects can be implemented in inner classes, so methods called by that listeners do not get mixed up.'d like to know how to do this in ActionScript, which doesn't have inner classes, but has private classes. But, I don't think I fully realize what inner classes are about, so I'm merely trying to wrap my head around the situation where I would use them to organize a class' methods by their usages.

View 2 RepliesDoes anybody know a way to apply an Interface to ObjectProxy, so that you don't have to declare the Interface implementations within the proxy?In other words, if the purpose of ObjectProxy is to proxy the Object in question (passing requests for properties and methods silently to the embedded Object), is it possible to tell the interface "hey, the functions you are looking for are already proxied, so don't bug me about them!"[code]But the function declarations kinda defeat the purpose of using ObjectProxy to begin with... I'd like the Interface to just "know" that "nemesis" is managed by the proxy, but still use the Interface for displaying context-help.which is how to code the context help so people using my MeatwadProxy will see context-help for the Meatwad class it contains?(And yes, I can already hear DrkStr and ASWC snickering at me in the background for continuing to believe in ActionScripts Proxy class. I also believe in Santa Claus, so there!)
