I need to create subscript text for mobile. I read at [URL} that label's baselineShift property is not supported on the mobile theme. So I created a plain mobile project using the default mobile theme with a couple of test labels and in the FB 4.5 emulator the baselineshift worked fine.
View 1 RepliesHow much of an impact will migrating to Flex 4 have on our code base? We have about 40k LOC written in Flex 3 I'm hoping that there are no breaking changes in the Flex SDK, and that we can smoothly transition to the new features of Flex 4 while minimizing any disruption. From what I've read Adobe is developing a new set of GUI components called 'Spark' but I'm hoping our existing stuff can co-exist with the new components.
View 2 RepliesIs there a guide or document that deals specifically with migrating CSS and style attributes from Flex 3 to Flex 4? I have an application that I'm keeping on the 2006 namespace, but I'm having trouble with a couple concepts, like the halo only styles, the CSS namespacing conventions, and styling child controls.
View 1 RepliesI'm migrating a FlashBuilder project (actually a project I'm working on with FlexBuilder eclipse plugin on Linux) to use FDT. I managed to import the project, and make it aware of other projects it depends on.
However I get lots of compile errors for things that seem harmless (and used to compile). At least, for example :
<mx:SomeClass initialize="{this.init()}" ... >
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[code]....
So, I get "unresolved function" for all the calls of the form someAttribute="{this.someFunction()}", even though the function is described in the same block file. Is it that I've been abusing AS3 / FlashBuilder for all this time ?
Also, generic components have problem. Assume I have a class with a deferred 'content' attribute, and I want to instanciate this class and "fill the blank" : I define a custom component in a CustomComponent.mxml file, with a deferred content
<mx:VBox>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public var content : IDeferredInstance;

I'm migrating a FlashIDE Actionscript 3.0 project to Flashdevelop Actionscript 3.0 (Pure AS). I've noticed that assets importing and project structure are different. What are the other things to lookout for when doing a migration?
View 1 RepliesWe are migrating our Flex-3.2 application to Flex 4.1, mainly to take advantage of the new text flow/engine features. In a first step we decided to go with compiling for MX-only and in Flex-3-compatibility mode.

Now do the same in Flex 3 and you'll see both events fire.Apparently, this is a bug. Might be possible to work around this but certainly decreases my level or trust substantially.2) Dialogs/popups show all content mirrored.A bug as well. Easy to work around, but how could something that obvious slip?
I have read all the documentation and more on optimizations. My question is that if you have to resize sfws for different mobiles is it best to have a res thats the biggest mobile and the rest we can use fullscreen. Or is it best to make a smaller swf and have it size up to full screen. Obviously we are not going to create an swf in 20 sizes. By the way, is it MORE processor hogging for a mobile to size down a 800 by 600 standard swf than to downsize an swf thats only a little larger than the mobile screen.

I want to allow the adobe sniffer to do its thing when it is people using pc and mac browsers and direct them to the plug in page to download the flash player if they need it, but is there a way to sniff for a mobile / smart phone browser and if they cant view flash it will show an image instead?

View 8 RepliesI have created a simple "Hello World" Application using Flash Builder Burrito SDK. I have tested the result in the emulator it is working great. After that I deployed the application using "Export Release Build Option" and entered valid certificate details and created the .apk file. I copied the .apk file into the device and i run the application. I am unable to run the app. I have tried these in 3 android supported devices and in each of these I am getting different error messages.
I have mentioned the device in which I have tested and the error message I got while I tried to install the app (.apk file).
HTC Desire - "Error while parsing the package of the application"
Samsung Galaxy Tab - "Error while parsing the package of the application"
LG Optimus one (LG P500) - "Application not installed"
I have created a New Mobile Project in the flash SDK and added simple label "HELLO WORLD" in the view section. Before deploying I have installed Adobe AIR 2.5 in the device. I need to know whether any restrictions are there for applications developed using Flash Burrito Preview Release. (whether by default all android mobile version more than 2.1 will support it?) Also when I try to install "Tour De Mobile Flex" apk in LG Optimus, it is saying "Device not supported" message. How do I overcome these problems to run the apk file without any problems.
I have a .FLA that is working perfectly in AS2 that needs to be migrated to AS3. I am an AS3 beginner and cannot figure out for the life of me how to translate my code where i'm trying to execute a command in nested movie clip (i.e. something like parent.MyMovie.gotoAndPlay(2) or parent.MyMovie.currentframe = 2 ) - it keeps returning a 'possibly undefined instance / function' error and because it cycles through all the frames I can't even tell if ANY of my code is working or not.Here are the two files:Here is the code from the _southamerica movieclip that contains the rollover:
frame 1 (menu has not yet dropped down - 'clearbox' is the clip that should be moused over and 'mousegetoutsa' is the clip that senses that the mouse has left the area)
mousegetoutsa.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OV ER, mouse_get_out);

I have recently upgraded my Flash CS4 to Flash CS5 on my MAC, and Flash CS5 to Flash CS5.5 on my PC, these upgrades are causing the Flash Auto Formatting feature to malfunction, it somehow becomes a tool that breaks my code and causes errors while exporting, instead of simply re-arranging the lines.This is happening with all my codes and all my projects, not a specific line of code.

View 2 RepliesI have a client-server multigame suite for PC ("kind of" cross-platform using cygwin), which is developed in Java(game menus and database management), C++ (server side), and adobe Flash (game graphics & interaction).
I have never tried to develop for android, so i have no experience.I am thinking of migrating this suite to google TV. So i would like someone with android experience to give a clue on the following :
1) Is it going to be easy to migrate the Java application to an Android application?
2) What kind of Flash support does Android have? Can it load directly swf applications? Does it have to load swf's through browser?
3) Can i find any kind of performance indexes for google TV hardware?

Good to see Flash Kit forum lasting a long time. It's been some time since I was last here. Just upgraded to CS5.5 from Flash 8 and having difficulty migrating a counter to ASC3. Managed to rebuild my other time line controller buttons. The counter is ASC1 and inside a movie clip Total Timeď In the clip are 2 dynamic/variables text boxes. min0 and sec0ď They output minutes and seconds as 2 figures. 00 : 00. With a colon graphic in-between. It takes the old _root._totalframes count then produces the times.

I've embedded a MovieClip symbol with the [Embed] syntax into my AS3 project, which I'm compiling with the Flex 3 SDK. That MovieClip has instances of other clips within it that are placed on stage with instance names. I can't just access them by instance name like I would if I were compiling with the Flash IDE. How can I reference them?

From a video on AdobeTV, I tried to play with example empWeb (LiveCycle Data Services).In Flex Builder 3 (FB3) everything works fine. When I tried this on Flash Builder 4.0 Beta (FB4) it doesn't work. When I replaced original xmlns declarations (2009, spark, halo)with declarations from FB3 (2006) it works. Could you explain why?I'm using the default SDKs (Flex 3.2 for FB3 and Flex 4.0 for FB4). I investigated this (please see 3 source code examples). Source #1 works OK in FB3 and FB4, Source #2 gives a FB4 compilation error message: [code]
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know what criterea Flash uses for discovering the Live Preview class for a Component? Background We are attempting to automate the creation of a SWC that contains a component to be used from Flash. We are able to make it visible to flash by modifying the manifest.xml and wiring up the component definitions. However, the component cannot be dragged onto the stage (or library), presumably because it has no form of LivePreview. To give better clarification of where we are coming from, we've noticed the following in SWCs exported from Flash (using swfdump):
fl.livepreview.LivePreviewParent contains the same mod attribute as the visual component in the manifest.xml file fl.livepreview.LivePreviewParent is exported as a symbol The short-named component (ie. no package, referenced in the components definition in the manifest.xml) is exported as a symbol However, I can see no other differences between that and the SWC from Flex. We can obviously use JSFL to perform the task, but we'd rather not install Flash on the build server.
I did some work that used Flex datagrids previously. It was smooth for the users and developers alike.
In my current project, I have to implement the same grids but not using Flex / Flash.
I have taken a look at extJS and YUI but they don't seem to measure up.
Are there other packages I should be looking at ?
I want to upload directly to an S3 bucket.I know this can be done in AIR,whether it is actually possible in flex in the browser, or will I have to use some code server side to get this going?
View 1 RepliesOur Flash web-based applications play lots of audio for narration and sound-effects. Some of our customers have firewall rules that block downloading of MP3 and other audio files. So, we need to wrap those MP3 files in SWFs. In the past, I've written JSFL scripts that automate the Flash IDE and walk through a complicated, fragile set of steps to embed MP3 files into FLAs and then publish those to SWFs. Now, Flex SDK provides the mxmlc compiler. I've mixed ANT into our workflow, and command-line and automated builds have been a joy. So, I want to make transcoding or wrapping of MP3s part of our build process. I've found Embedding Asset at Compile time in Pure AS3, but this will require that I write a script to generate a wrapper class AS file. Is there a cleaner way to wrap or transcode MP3 files into SWFs?
View 1 RepliesI have a Flex module created in Flash Builder 4 as a swf file. I am trying to load and run in within a Flash application. I can get the module loaded but I can not get the flash application to access any module functions. Here is how I load the module in Flash and the error I get. If I change the module to an application type swf then it loads and runs but now I have two applications on top of each other. I would like the loaded module swf to be able to have access the Flash stage object.
