I've been giving a application to work on that uses a Java EE application for the backend, Flash for the front end, and BlazeDS to connect the two. I have never used Flash or BlazeDS, and am trying to get my head around how BlazeDS works.
So far, I understand that when you connect to BlazeDS in FlashBuilder, the remoting-config.xml file is scanned to determine what services exist on the Java end. FlashBuilder asks which of these services you want to import, and what "service package" and "data type package" you want to use.
When you select your Java ExampleService, BlazeDS will create _Super_ExampleService.as and ExampleService.as and put them in your "service package" location. ExampleService.as is empty but extends _Super_ExampleService.as (which basically is a Flash service that you can use to call the methods in your Java service). If you need to add extra methods, you would add them to ExampleService.as. (Hopefully this is all correct, please correct me if I'm wrong)
My problem is I cannot figure out what BlazeDS does for value objects. When you select ExampleService in FlashBuilder (let's assume it's a service for the Example entity), what value objects does BlazeDS create? I would expect Example.as and _SuperExample.as. However, _ExampleEntityMetadata.as also appears.
I have a project that I need to develop some Java code for. The project is using Flash and BlazeDS. For the initial build of the project, an Ant script is run that eventually runs what I believe is the Flex compiler (the sdk attribute points to a FlashBuilder 4 sdk/4.1.0 directory).
I was wondering if there is any Python library out there which would allow me to generate Flash files (a simple slide show of a bunch of images). I tried installing Ming but was running into some problems, so was wondering if there is any other library out there with better documentation.
I would like to do some iPhone development from my Windows box using the Adobe iPhone packager. I get how to do pretty much everything except creating / obtaining the certificates and provisioning files needed to complete the packaging process. What is the easiest and quickest way to get up and running?
I am looking for an automated/command line means ofgenerating .swf files for the media files I have in my application.At any given time there could be hundreds of videos in thedirectory and the application lets users upload media to theserver. I know how to create .fla, .as files etc for one file usingCS3, but I am hope there is an easier way to generate these swffiles. I am looking at Flex SDK (specifically mxmlc) to write a cronjob, but I wanted to see if people use other methods.
I need to generate SWF or FLA files programmatically using php. Because I want to create a movie(either swf or fla) using sequences of images at my sever.
How to generate .FLA or .SWF files programmatically using php?Are theres any libraries for that?Or at least any APIs for generating those files?
I'm trying to understand if it is possible to generate complex PDF files with Flex. By complex I mean add images, styled text (font-family, weight, columns) layout elements with large degree of control and so on. I was looking at AlivePDF library but cannot understand if it can handle more complicated PDF generation than plain text.
Is it possible to generate an executable file from a flash executable file? A client has requested a quote from that will allow them to do the following: This whole thing needs to reside on a CD/DVD.
There is a bank of 10 images. The user selects any 5 images they want. The user saves those 5 images as a slideshow / powerpoint / executable file?
Are there other utilities that can do this kind of thing? Is flash the wrong development tool? Are there other tools out there that perform this type of function?
Google has provided no results for me. I've often lurked through the forums here and I thought that maybe the community here may have some answers as I can't seem to find them anywhere.
I know Shared Objects are the standard way to store data from flash, but these seem to have a number of limitations.I'm wondering if it's possible for the flashplayer to manipulate regular files.It's my understanding that through FileReference you can load a file of the user's choice into memory. My question is, would it be possible to manipulate this file then present it back to the user for download? Possibly using javascript to assist?
I understand that it might be possible using server-side technology, but I'm wondering if it can be done without taking hard drive space and bandwidth from the server.
I am trying to generate XML of a user selected folder and inner folders along with the files recursively. Structure of the XML generated should be as the user selected folder.
I am able to list all the folders and files in the selected folder. I am unable to find a way to generate the same structure, I am unable to think of a way to replicate the depth of folder in XML. Any ideas to find solutions??
I've got a Java/Flex project that I'm building using Maven. After doing some research I'm using the Flexmojos project [URL] for the Flex part, and almost everything seems to work fine so far (after a bit of struggling). I'm using version 4.0-alpha-5 (4.0-SNAPSHOT didn't seem to work for me).The Flex projects isn't recognized by Eclipse as Flex projects though. If I manually change the .project file and add .actionScriptProperties and .flexProperties files, Eclipse seems to recognize the projects as Flex projects.
I want to build an air app that takes input (for example a list of filenames to be generated) from the user and generates sound files with desired naming. The sound files should be an "empty/silence" sound (wav, aif or mp3). Is it possible the generate such a file? If not, can I use an existing sound and embed it into the app and have that as a source when generating the files? The purpose of this is to get a structure of files ready in the project that will be replaced by our Sound Director. This way, we can trigger all sounds before they are created.
i have a problem about RDS and blazeds, when i use flash builder 4.5 to connect the server data, there is a rds error (403 or 404),but i can ping the http://10.25.129.151:8400/testdrive/test/" on Chrome or ie. So i don't know how to configure the rds in flash builder 4.5 or i will must configure others?
I'm using the build in Flex Dataservice to connect to a BlazeDS server. Flex is using the *.fml file within the model folder for the connection details, within that file you can find the following:
the _super_Database class created by Flex DataService uses that configuration to setup a remote object for communications.Now i'm looking for a way to overwrite those settings within the Database class which extends the _super_Database class.
I'm using BlazeDS to marshall Java objects to Flex. What I'm seeing is that if a Java Float holds a integer value (whole number, such as 123), then it gets marshalled to a ActionScript int. I would expect that a Java Float always gets marshalled to an ActionScript Number as documented in the BlazeDS Developer Guide.
Is there a way to configure this or is this just a BlazeDS bug? Follow-up: The float is contained within a map. The Java map that is being passed to BlazeDS looks something like:
[Code]...
So it's serializing the value correctly, just as the wrong type.
My issue this time around is trying to use the new DCD BlazeDS wizard in Flash Builder 4. If I set my project up as a combined Java/Flex app I am unable to connect to the RDS servlet using the wizard. I get a 404 error every time.
I'm certain the service is set up correctly since my app can access the exposed java classes and BlazeMonster can see the exposed services.
I'm in the process of making a web page that'll successfully checked as XHTML 1.0 Transitional ([URL]), but as soon as I place in the fixit.js script under the flash object and view the page in IE, all the flash elements turn white. Quote:
[Code]...
Anyone knows how to place in flash files in xhtml files on IE without manually controls by clicking on the flash file.
I am trying to create an image gallery similar to Androids "Gallery" where it is a horizontal scrolling list of images. I am doing this with an HBox and Bitmap objects wrapped in a UIComponent. The problem is I am trying to do this for mobile and having many full size images open in memory causes problems. I have been trying to have the images load right as they are scrolling into view and unload once they are out of view, but the loading/unloading while scrolling requires too much cpu and causes a very choppy and poor UI. What I am looking to do is be able to load several low quality versions of the images in memory so I dont have to do as much loading/unloading. I have tried decreasing the height/width but it dosnt seem to have an effect on memory usage.
is there any sample on using array bitmapdata to record video from webcam and generate flash movieclip file? i want to record sound as well without using red5/flash streaming server

XFL's DOMBitmapItem tag has attribute itemID. What is safe way how to generate such an ID if I want to add new media items from external tool?The example of itemIDs looks like:
I need to generate a script that converts videos to F4V's for use with Flash Media Server 4.5...is this possible? I have it converting files to MP4s and then swapping the extension.This works fine, but seems like a dirty work around. I'd prefer to use a generate a true F4V. I've heard mixed things on whether or not ffmpeg truly supports F4Vs
I need to generate random numbers between 1 and 20 with a heavy emphasis on the one between 1 and 5, a light emphasis on 5-10, and a low emphasis on 10-20. I don't understand all the fancy probability words and all the stuff they say in the articles I've come across.
