Actionscript 3 :: Run An External SWF Inside A Flex Application?
Apr 26, 2010
EDIT: Due to the answer I change the code posted. I've added the Security.allowDomain("*") line and that line throws me an error. So, how can that be made?
I want to run an Action Script 3.0 Application into a Flex Application. To do this I've done the following:
I have a native (Obj-C, standard Xcode project) application and I'd like to integrate a partners iOS application (or specifically, it's functionality) into it as just another view in my application. The problem is that their application is a Flex/Air app. I really don't understand the Adobe compilation process on how it gets from a bunch of flex code down to an IPA. I don't see intermediate projects, shared objects, etc on the disk to produce that IPA. It looks like it doesn't rely on the Apple tool chain... as I understand it, you can produce the IPA on Windows as well. Is there any way to build that Flex app in such a way that I can import it into Xcode so I can link against it and use it as a library from within my application? While I specifically used iOS as an example since that is the most important platform, we'll want to apply this solution to our respective Android and Blackberry 6 apps as well.
I want to read xml data to a mxml application from a xml file on my filesystem. The example I found was for AIR,link2, link3. But I want to target the Flash Player runtime. If I use the the tag, I can do it; however the xml compiles into my swf. How can I retain the xml file in my release build?
I'm new at AS3. I'm pretty good when it comes to PHP, MySQL or HTML but I'm totally lost in AS.I have a project in Flash Builder 4 that I'm trying to add something to that was built in Flash Professional. It's supposed to loas a couple of external AS files, then execute functions from them at a certain point in the application. I know where I want the functions to execute in the application, and I have linked the AS files to "test.as" which is the main AS file for "testapp.mxml". The problem is calling the "Detector" function from inside "FaceDetector.as" which is one of the external AS files. What is the best way to do the following.[code]I want to start the script and let it do what it's supposed to do inside the application at that given time.
Is it possible to create a webbrowser inside a Flex (not AIR!) application? I want to display some links in a Flex application and when a user clicks the links, it should open a custom component with some sort of a webbrowsing component. Is it possible?
I create some elements( UIComponents, mainly Panels) inside the "mx:Application name=tst . I need to cleanup all those UIComponent's on MouseClick event , using Actionscript. Is there any way I access the children elements of mx:Application ( I used var totalChildren:Number = this['tst'].numChildren ; but looks like it fails to access the children list).
Hey the think is, I need to play some swf file inside my flex 4 app, sometimes this swf file can be a Video, or just a object animated, I have a placeholder in my app which I want to play this swf file, how can I do this?
I have a great idea and I want to build a flex application around a .jar file. Is there a way I can go by embedding a jar file into the flex application?
Since I've never done this and the google results are quite random, I ask here: Is it possible to display Flash movies inside a Flex application and interact with them?
The scenario is as follows:
I'm developing a new application in flex Another, already completed application is given to me as SWF (or perhaps SWC, don't know any details yet) I have to insert this second application inside in my Flex application, which should be no problem afair I have to interact with this application: send and retrieve data. Don't know any further details here, too.
Will this be possible? Or is Flex only capable of displaying the SWF without the possibility to interact with it? I hope you can understand, what I want (have to...) do.
I have drop on a strange occurance - inserting a ButtonBar inside ListItemRenderer freeze the application. The bug is highly reproductive.ere is a bit of the code :
When using as3 and embed my swf via swf object JS, one of the parameters that being transferred to the embed JS function is "base=http://www.mydomain.com" which needed in order to load external widget into application.
Now, am also loading external assets like Styles.swf that placed locally on client side, and when I'm trying to load these assets I get error that they don't found in [URL]
For example: StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("Styles.swf");
Error: can't load [URL]
Is it possible somehow to load Styles.swf as local assets??? I've tried use
I currently have a network camera that streams video as a .swf (and also as a motion JPEG as well...) and I want to be able to embed the stream inside of either a Flash or Air project that I'm creating myself. The only examples i've been able to find though, require the .swf to be saved as a resource of the project; clearly, this is undesirable for a live stream.
Another option is to utilize the motion JPEG. I have some generated code (shown below), but unfortunately only the first image is displayed when viewed via adobe air (if I were to view it in a HTML browser, the image would automatically update, effectively showing the stream:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function displayImage( ) { // Set the BaseURL to the URL of your camera
I have a Tree Control inside my Flex Application which I want to edit on a doubleclick on a tree item. I found the properties doubleClickEnabled= "true", doubleClick="startEditMode()", and editable="true". With these functions I can detect a double click and I can change the editable property to true based on a double click. The problem is that after I double clicked on a Item i have to click once more to really enter the edit mode. That doesn't seem to be intuitive at all..
I am trying to develop a P2P conferencing application in flex using RTMFP. So I have to make connection to Adobe Stratus server for Id of Flash Player instance. I am a student and behind the http proxy. I have checked in NetConnection class but, didn't find anything related proxy configuration.So, How can I configure proxy settings for my flex application.
I have a main application that contains a list, using a custom itemRenderer to display data.
I would like to be able to call a function, inside the itemRenderer, from the main application.
When running the app, we have a list with three persons, and a button. I want to call the function myItemRendererFunction() inside the itemRenderer, of the selected item in the list, all this, from the main app.
I have an Flex 4 application (not AIR) which has some floating windows that act essentially as modeless dialogs.Right now, if two of these are open at once they function as siblings which are both active and whose controls are enabled for user interaction.I now need to maintain some notion of which one is "active" in the application. I don't want to /disable/ the non-active ones so as to blur them or prevent input on their controls.
I basically want to replicate basic OS window management: when you click or type into a control in one window it comes to the front and its title bar looks "active" and the others then look "inactive". Just like with a bunch of explorers in Windows.
My Flex application is heavily keyboard-oriented. It uses 100% of the browser window and I'd like the user to be able to start using it immediately - as soon as it loads. However, it seems that the application is only first "activated" (i.e. the activate event fires) when the mouse clicks somewhere inside it, which is very inconvenient for my keyboard-heavy app.
Can I force an activation of my app at some point during/after it loads? I hope I don't have to display some silly "click inside to activate" overlay every time the page loads..
In certain browsers ([cough] Chrome [/cough]) the focus is lost whenever the user switches away from the browser (or even touches the address bar) and is not regained when switching back. So the solution has to take in consideration not just the first focus when the page loads but also "re-focusing".
I have a flex application that loads an external swf file. I created the external swf file using flash cs4 so I can add code to it if that is what it takes.
Here is the code I use to load my external swf:
//add button swf var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.yadayada.com/media/but_button.swf");
[Code].....
Can I have my external swf send click events to my flex application? How?
I have recently uploaded my flex applicaiton on server, it works fine on my system (localhost) but on the production server it tries to access[URL]..which is not available and end up showing "loading" eternally.
i want to call an external function inside a class. thats the code;
in checkConnectionStatus function,
this[_funcNameForSucceededCon].apply(); doesnt work because "this" is the class, not the Application. How can i reach Application at this time or what can i do?
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?
I am working on an Adobe AIR Application. The size on Application window is 800X600 and is contains border container and border container contains many controls. What I want is to if user re-sizes the application then that container should also be re-sized according to scale. i.e If user maximizes or minimizes the window then that border container should also be maximized or minimized respectively.
how can i delete storage directory instances or folder while uninstalling any air application. In my application when i first time run my application, application copy some data from application directory to application storage directory. now i want to delete all data and application directory folder also while uninstalling application.
I am doing that because when i launch any update then application is accessing old data which conflict with my application new features.
I'm new to flex. Now I'm writing an flex application. I plan to split my application into some MXML files(Application as the root tag). How can I switch from one mxml to another?BTW, what is the best practice for design large flex application? Just one MXML Application and many MXML component or many MXML Application?
