In every language there are a lot of tool to inspect the interface exposed by the compiled file, then what is the best tool for Flex swf file? I am debugging my code but the invoke always failed, I am writing my callee like below in my mcml file:
public function playVideo():void
{
svid.play();[code]............
And in another mcml I am using SWFLoader to load it and call it, but it always failed.
I'm trying to get Flex and OpenX working together. I can get the ads to work when I view the site on a Mac using Firefox or Safari. But, if I use a PC with IE, I get error #1090 which is an XML parser failure.
Apparently, there is malformed XML. How do I check the XML that OpenX produces? What's the best way to find the nasty node?
I'm debugging a problem and I've got: o = URLUtil.stringToObject(browserManager.fragment); When I try to put an alert on the var o, I get [object] [object]. How do I find out its value?
View 3 RepliesIs there any tool available for Flex applications that acts similar to Web Developer or Firebug toolbar to inspect UI elements? Basically in a complex hierarchy of UI controls allowing you to browse the elements and see properties such as x and y coordinates, width, height, id.I'm interested in tools that would allow you to do this at runtime, since most of the properties are dynamic.

View 4 RepliesIs there a way to inspect HTTPS traffic from Flex applications compiled to SWF files?I'm trying to use Fiddler for this, have added DO_NOT_TRUST_FiddlerRoot to my Trusted RootCertification Authorities so my IE now can access other HTML sites that would normally complain about untrusted certificate. However, the HTTPS traffic from the SWF file still doesn't appear in Fiddler and, in fact, the Flex app wouldn't work (HTTPS with a self-signed certificate is not supported by Flex apps I believe). Is there a way around it?Update: To be clear, I am interested in the traffic between the SWF file running under Flash Player and the server (typically, Flex components like HTTPService will be used for this). The SWF file itself can be served via HTTP or HTTPS, it doesn't really matter.Clarification 2: Don't assume that the source code is available for the SWF file. If it was, Flash Builder 4's Network Monitor could be used.

View 2 RepliesWhen I run the flex application, I'm expecting to see 25 records from users table of my database in a list component, and all I see is 25 of this: [object User]. I tried to follow this tutorial: [URL] but as he is using ColdFusion, I am using an HTTP service type. Basically, what I did:
1) Connect to data service (Http)
2) Entered a url of xml data, method GET, operation of getAllItems
3) search as name string as data type for the parameters of this operation
4) users as service name (services.users as service package)
5) test operation (authentication required) and clicked test, which showed the xml data
6) Configure return type, selected User as root (not users), and clicked it for "is Array?" option
7) Then selected the list component, checked "New Service Call", and for bind_to_field I checked "id" (not sure exactly what bind to field does)
The following is the relevant stuff that was generated:
protected function list_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void {
getAllItemsResult.token = users.getAllItems(/*Enter value(s) for */ search);
} <fx:Declarations>
<s:CallResponder id="getAllItemsResult" />
[Code] .....
I do notice an error message that says "access of undefined property search". But again this was generated code so I have no idea where it was supposed to be defined. My main concern is that it's not showing records from the database (via the xml) but rather just showing:
[object User]
I hav created a pure actionscript project which defines few methods.What i want to do is to expose an interface for the .swf file generated through this actionscript project created in flex to call swf's methods.This is the following code that i tried writing in mxml:
<mx:Application>
<mx:Script>
import mx.managers.SystemManager;[code]....
what error i get is cannot convert AVM1Movie to mx.managers.SystemManager.How can this be rectified?
Is there a way to query an embedded flash element to determine the available methods that can be executed on it via JavaScript?
Edit:
It appears that in IE it's as simple as
for ( i in flashNode ) {
alert(i);
}
After much clicking, they will be some of the very last members enumerated.
Still not able to determine this in Firefox though.
OK, from what I know actionscript in Flex runs asynchronously. I need the ability to run a method in a loop synchronously. Consider this code:
public class CustomerContainer extends VBox
{
public function CustomerContainer ()
{

This is not my exact situation as it is a bit more complicated to explain here. There is an abstract class and several custom view objects derived from it. Some of the views are dependent on others being completed first but I cannot seem to order them in the correct order. TIMERS are not an option. Probably not explaining this correctly.
I've been working on an FXG Editor, and I'm using the the senocular transform tool to move, rotate, scale and skew an object.
Is it possible to detect if the the Display object has been skewed just from inspecting the matrix of that DisplayObject? even if said object has been move, scaled and rotated as well.
I want to only serialize the matrix of an object to FXG if has been skewed and not if it has just been rotated, moved, or scaled.

getUser was already in UserService.java. I just created getUser2 and it's identical to getUser. When I try to call getUser2, i get the "Cannot invoke method" error. question: Do I need to specify getUser2 in some other file? like in some configuration file? if so, which one and how do I do it.
I would like to know if there is any way to find out the destination path of the saved file using the download() method of the filereference class.Cos if that is possible then i could do navigateToURL(_path,_blank) to open that downloaded file in browser Or if there is any other way to do this i would like to know.

View 1 Repliesoverriding clone() while creating custom events?I read in the Flex cookbook that we need just in case we want to redispatch this event. Does this exactly means that when we want event to be bubbled up the display hierarchy , at that time our custom cloned event should be dispatched and not the Event object.
second - whats the need of metadata tag -
[Event(name="modelEvent", type="com.abc.data.model.ModelEvent")]
public class LoginModel extends EventDispatcher
I understand we need to extend EventDispatcher in case we want to dispatch evnet from class.. but In what cases i would need to specify the MetaData TAg
Third is.. If i write -- "dynamic customEventClass extends Event".. Is there any use of Dynamic i can make?
I have a quite different problem with resizing. I have a Flexbook component which uses the middle part of screen (center) with a html header menu and footer. The problem: The scaling works perfectly when we run in the local machine ( Flexbuilder). But when we deploy it to the server its like scaling never existed.. The requirement: when user maximizes the window or minimizes it, the Flexbook should be resized to fit the screen.

I'm trying to request to an API method on the same server that is hosting the SWF file. I'm getting a security error 2048. This occurs whether I use POST or GET, and leaving the request data blank doesn't improve things. Nothing is sent in either case, and I get a SecurityErrorEvent to stare at. Everything works smoothly from the IDE.
The applet isn't trying to load the crossdomain.xml file, so it apparently isn't considering the request to be cross-domain, and shouldn't be any other domains involved. Loading images from the swfRoot works fine.
Is there anything else that could be causing this error? Furthermore, is there any way I can find out more details about what exactly is going on? Tracing the toString of the ErrorEvent only gives me "Error 2048" - I've seen reference in other questions to messages for this error that read "cannot load data from XXX", but I can't seem to get one of these (I'm using Flash CS5).

I don't know what is the method to do this in as3 coding. I have a base which use to load all swf files using addChild() method. I have another swf01 (label as swf01) which is a movie (in swf format) that will load into the "base" once I click on a menu button. (is a child for the base). I have this exit button in the swf01 and not in the base which whenever I click the exit, it will unload or remove swf01. Is there any method which I can use?

View 3 RepliesI have a strange dilemn and the 3D feature in Flash CS4 seem to be the most obvious connection to the problem. I have a page with 2 different swf files ( both under 50KB), which use the satay method. One works perfectly, and the other struggles to work. The pixels are magnified, the 3D animation scales incorrectly, and moves very slowly. Eventually the browser crashes and the whole operation goes down.

View 1 RepliesWhen using the fileReference.download method to let users download content from my server. Some users get a Security error when trying to downlaod. When studying the fileReference class it says: To avoid this situation, reclassify this SWF file as local-with-networking or trusted. But how do I do that? Do I import the security class and then set secrurity to:
Security.LOCAL_WITH_NETWORK;
If yes. Should I do that in my base class or the class that is "creating the error"? Or should I change the Local playback security to "Access network only" (I am using the cs3 flash)?
I was just wondering if it is important to include POST as a method of sending loadVars to the php file. i was using POST before and i still ecountered some problems of receiving empty mails.

I just wanted to get another opinion about that as i wanna start using server side script with flash and i know that ill be using the POST method.

package

import flash.display.Graphics;
public class Rail extends MovieClip
[code]...
this is a simple Rail class, what I am trying to do is take the for loop out of the timeline and build into the Rail class itself. How do I refer to the Rail class itself within the method? If I am doing this the wrong way please let me know! Would it be better if I created another class, say a "RailSpacing" class and build the for loop into the contructor into that?
Also, if I wanted to add depth to the rail(textures or something else to make it look real) and still be able to change the color without transforming the entire rail instance, what could I do ActionScript wise. I have come to the conclusion the only way to do this is creating a multilayered movieclip and target the base object and not the highlight/ shading layer.
Also, if I created a nice graphic/movieclip and exported it for ActioSncript, how can I find the class file and add too it? Is this even possible? Is it possible to draw something that is detailed and export it and then add some methods?
