Is 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 3 RepliesI'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?

How does one inspect the HTTP traffic in Adobe Air? Obviously because it's running outside of a browser you can't use firebug .
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.

svid.play();[code]............
And in another mcml I am using SWFLoader to load it and call it, but it always failed.
The popular debugging tool "Kap Inspect" [URL] Kap+Inspect Does this work with normal flash applications that have been built with Flash CS4 (and not Flex)? Their tutorials focus mainly on flex and mxml, etc.
View 2 RepliesI'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.
I am having difficulty getting a reference to elements added after compile-time using the 'id' property. I have seen a few forum topics suggesting that this isn't possible, and that getting a reference to elements added this way is trickier, but never just exactly what that trick is. This code throws a fun little: Error: uncaught exception: Error calling method on NPObject! [plugin exception: "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property canvas_tentpoles_0 not found on SGraph and there is no default value."].

View 2 RepliesIs there a way to access the DOM-Elements of a mxml file in a way that you can in JS (e.g. using Prototype or jQuery)?
I need to know if a top-level element has a child (sub-sub-...-childs) with a certain id.
In JS (using prototype) it would be something like:
$('tabs').select('[id="something"]');
In a Flex webapp, is there an easy way to go about applying a sort to the children of an XML element, based on the children's attributes? Example follows below:
XMLListCollection:
<a anotherProp="ABCDE">
<e prop="AB">1</element>
<e prop="BC">2</element>
</a><a anotherProp="FGEH">
<e prop="HF">3</element>
<e prop="AD">4</element>
<e prop="AC">5</element></a>
I would like to sort the <e> elements, within each <a> element separately, according to their "prop" attribute. My code for generating the array containing the <a> elements is along the lines of:
for each(var node:XML in initialInput:XMLListCollection){
if(node.localName()=="a"){
//I was hoping to be able to sort the <e> children of the node variable here
xmlListCollectionVar.addItem(node);
}}
At the end I would like the <a>'s to remain in their defined order, but their <e> children to be sorted based on the "prop" attribute. So far if I try:
node.children().sort=someSortVar
Where someSortVar has its fields set to:
SortFields("e.@prop",...)
I get an exception about a null value. Any way to convert the children list to XMLListCollection, sort it and integrate it back into the node variable?
I'm writing an application in Flex / ActionScript and have a number of class member variables of type Array storing data. My question is: what's the "best" way to clear out an Array object? I noticed the ArrayCollection class has a function removeAll() which does this, but the basic Array class does not. Some possibilities I've considered are:
Iterating through the array, calling pop or shift on each element
Setting the array length to 0
Setting the member variable to a "new Array()" or "[]"
Anyone know how to animate the size/position of child elements of a layout in Flex 4 ?
I have a list component with a custom layout. I want when I change the positions of the child elements I want them to animate their move to the new positions.
Does anyone know if its possible to access children elements in a SWC? I have created some MC's and inside of some of these MC's I have some dynamic textFields. I export the content to a SWC and load it into my Flex project. No problem loading it or accessing the parent elements, they display fine. But I want to access the textfields nestes in the MC's and modify the text. When I debug the app, I can see the textfields as child elements. It's typed as a TextField and the Instance Name is the same as input in the Flash IDE but I cannot access it. When Flex compiles it throws an error saying it doesn't recognize the method. I've tried to insert actionscript on the timeline, linked external classes and nothing can be accessed.
View 3 RepliesI need to animate a lable movement between 2 canvases...The mxml example of the code is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" applicationComplete="main()" frameRate="1">
<mx:Script>[code].....
Currently the problem is that the label actually do not leave borders of the first canvas (I see scrollbars instead of it).I think this is related to globalToLocal conversion problems, but do not understand how to use it.Also another question is how to animate the movement corretly, because move function performs movement without any visible action.
I have an ArrayCollection as mentioned below.
private var initDG:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
{fact: "Order #2314", appName: "AA"},
{fact: "Order #2315", appName: "BB"}[code].....
I want to populate a ComboBox with UNIQUE VALUES of "appName" field from the ArrayCollection initDG.
<mx:ComboBox id="appCombo" dataProvider="{initDG}" labelField="appName"/>
One method I could think is to loop through the Array objects and for each object check and push unique appName entries into another Array. Is there any better solution available?
var count:uint = 0;
var textInputs:Array /* of TextInputs */ = [];
for(var i:String in columnsData){

here how can i access the first, second of Array of textinputs in the form of string or any thing to further proceed
What are the inbuilt functions available in flex,actionscript that I can use to find a node with a specific name inside xml variable and what functions could help me manipulate it? Something like Xquery in SQL! I dont want to use for loop everytime I want to manipulate a xml variable. For example, if I want to "cut" node inside this xml and add another attribute to it named enabled pro grammatically. Or how could I find "Find Next" node and delete it?
<menuitem label="Edit">
<m label="Cut"/>
<m label="Copy"/>
<m label="Paste"/>

I want to list all controls (buttons, datagrids, etc) in a container
This works but gives me a warning 1008: variable 'comp' has no type declaration.
for (var i:int = 0;i<this.numElements;i++)
{
var comp = this.getElementAt(i);

when I get a compiler warning it's because I'm not doing something the way it is supposed to be.
Are there any alternatives to reference the id property? A method I'm missing even a whole different way iterate through all the controls?
Is there any documentation link where I can find list of styles applicable to flex controls? In particular the AdvancedDataGridControl. Like border, border-left,top,bottom,indent, etc like list of all possible style elements.

How do I dynamically generate UI elements? (and maybe I will need some new Arrays, e.g. state1, state2, etc)

arr_1.push({sdate:"2010-02-03",status:"New"});
arr_1.push({sdate:"2010-02-04",status:"New"});
arr_1.push({sdate:"2010-02-05",status:"New"});
How can I change element number 3 status to: "Old", without removing it. Just update the status value??
