View 2 RepliesI have an J2EE Enterprise Application Project in which I would like to add a few Flex screens. How do I go about adding Flex capabilities.
I have build Flex/J2EE applications from scratch but can't think of the best way to do this.
I am currently using Flex Builder Plugin for IBM Rational Application Developer 7.5.
I had flex project with few action script files.I want to make the project as swc file. So can i know how to create it as swc file.
View 2 RepliesI'm not a flash developer.We paid a developer to build us an app. It is nearly perfect, but a few things in the actionscript need tweaking (purely the values of some URL's for action when buttons are clicked.)I believe I need to rebuild the project to pull this information through.I believe he has sent me the full source. Do I need to install all of the dependencies to get this to work? I'm tempted to just go in and make the changes in a hex editor..
View 1 RepliesI have a pretty complex flash project that I need to add a pre-loader to.
Currently all the items we have are in the Library inside the .fla file. I've been reading a few of the pre-loader blog entries and tutorials and getting nowhere.
I've tried to create another .fla file that loads the compiled .swf file of the complex project and that did not work as well.
This is my first flash project and I'm pretty inexperienced with it. What do I need to do?
Do I have to strip all the items from the library and load them individually (and have them saved somewhere on a server) ?
How can I create a loader class within the project that runs on Frame 1 and "Loads" all the items that are needed?
i am working with Flex for quite sometime. but i hadn't get any chance to even look at Adobe AIR platform. I am planning to do some personal softwares using AIR.
Provided the background that am an absolute zero in AIR, what all should I have in my system apart from Flex builder? And how fast i can learn AIR if I am pretty comfortable in Flex?
I received an inheritance old flex project. I've never worked with Flex. I installed the latest Flash Builder and I need to know the exact version of used Flex SDK. Is there any way to know used SDK version from project files?
View 2 RepliesI want to create an AIR application in which i need to show the notification that when AIR application is minimize then at some interval of time message shows from the system tray similar like giving information. I have visited this LINK, its a nice component but tutorial is not that much good as component. I need to create a component like that or source is available from this site so modification in this component will also be acceptable. EG: When you minimize the Yahoo Messenger and some one is sign-out or sign-in then it gives notification i want component similar like that.
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know if there is an option to not create a shortcut to an AIR application after its installation?
Currently, all I have found is an option to choose the location of the application shortcut from within the start menu (in the application descriptor file, using the programMenuFolder option)
I have a Flash application with one scene, three frames and a bunch of ActionScript code to provide a number of ExternalInterface hooks. The three frames contain a single Input Text box which, as the <embed> tag is resized using JavaScript, grows and shrinks (not scales) to fit. I now want to add the ability to zoom in/out of this application, for enlarging small text on screen without increasing the text point size. I thought this would be easy using the Javascript Zoom(percent) method of the Flash object, but this doesn't work because my ActionScript code contains:
[Code]...
I suspect I need to take the entire movie as I have it now, and put it inside a movie clip, add a zoom ExternalInterface call which somehow scales the movieClip, and move the External Inteterface methods I have now from the new Movie Clip outside to the stage... but this sounds like a near complete rewrite? Will this method even work? Is there a better way?
I am making a preloader for a 360* product viewer and i'm having some trouble. the preloader works fine and when placed by itself loads the second the page requests it. but once i put it in my .fla project something causes the preloader to not load. and instead starts playing once the file is completely downloaded.
there are only two frames. the first frame just has the preloader movie in it. the action code for the preloader movie is:
Code:
_parent.stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_parent.getBytesTotal()>1) {

I'm trying to compile an existing Flex3 project with the Flex4 SDK. I'm getting this error:
Warning: This compilation unit did not have a factoryClass specified in Frame metadata to load the configured runtime shared libraries. To compile without runtime shared libraries either set the -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries option to true or remove the -runtime-shared-libraries option.The resulting file is roughly the same as my old Flex3 compiled .swf file. Playing the resulting .swf file in the Flash Player also gives the following errors:
An Actionscript error ocurred: VerifyError: Error #1014: Class spark.core::SpriteVisualElement could not be found If I set the compiler attribute static-link-runtime-shared-libraries to true, then the error disappears and all is well. However, the size of the resulting .SWF is a couple of 100K's bigger. And that's not what I want.
I don't fully understand the concept of runtime shared libraries, but it seems that with the option to statically link them set to true, the libraries are included in the .swf. However, I like to exclude them from the .swf and only load the needed library at runtime, as my project seemed to do with Flex3 (I didn't know that by the way).
If I understand correctly, playerglobal.swc should hold all the necessary code for the external libraries that my .swf has to load. Do Flex4 compiled files need more libraries? Should I do something with the factoryClass in the Frame metadata tag?
I think my question boils down to this: How do I compile a Flex4 .swf that is the same size as my previous Flex3 compiled .swf?
I have a project which was completed, now I need to add a dropdown menu but how do I impliment the code into the existing actionscript I have?
ACTIONSCRIPT / CURRENT
var Xpos:Number = 0;var Ypos:Number = 0;var swf:MovieClip;var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/home.swf");

I am trying to edit an already existing Flex project, and I see a warning on the line "import com.Adobe.utils.StringUtil;" and the warning it shows is
Multiple markers at this line:
-mx
-The import utils could not be found.
-The import StringUtil could not be found.
Well I was wondering what is the difference between import com.Adobe.utils.StringUtil; and import mx.utils.StringUtil;
I'm totally new to Adobe Flex Builder 3. I've been assigned a fully functional project but when I want to add the simplest function to any class, I always got the same error :
Call to a possibly undefined method through a reference with static type
For example, in some random class there is a function defined like this :
public function GetID() : String { return m_strID; }
If I try to define a new one like below :
public function GetIDFoo() :String { return m_strID; }
And then I try to call both of them like this:
trace ("This line is ok : " + oPhysicalScreen.GetID());
trace ("This line gives me an error : " + oPhysicalScreen.GetIDFoo());

I want to make a washing machine animation with adobe flash cs4.I have a basic image of 3 washing machines standing next to each other with the door on the front.I also have a very similar washing machine at home that I can video tape while it washes. I am pretty good at figuring out software, but I have not used Flash CS4 much,so I would like an expert to tell me the best way to go about doing this animation with this software.

View 1 RepliesI need to make my Flash application create a connection to a remote application and have the remote application send periodic updates to my Flash animation. The remote app is written in VB 6, and does not support XML sockets. However, I don't need the ability to send or receive XML since I am going to be overriding the onLoad() event anyway.
Or maybe I do need that ability... I'm having trouble getting my onLoad() event to trigger. Right now I'm just testing the onLoad event like this:
[code]...
So, basically I'm trying to find out how I can format the data I'm sending it so that the onLoad() event triggers. I've read that the XMLSocket object listens for the Null byte, so perhaps the data I'm sending it doesn't terminate properly. I need a persistent connection from Flash to the VB app because the VB app will be the one initiating the updates to the Flash application. Is the XMLSocket the way to go here, or is there another class of objects that I'm missing?
Copied:
bin
runtimes
airApp-app.xml
airApp.swf
Calling:
G:adlinadl.exe -nodebug G:adlairApp-app.xml
Nothing on the screen, nothing in the console. I do, however, see adl.exe hanging in the processes and eating up memory - i assumed its the loaded, but invisible application.
Update:Created a blank Flex 4.5 (Air 3.1) project that changes the background - and it worked out fine. Tried to use this config (tweaked the filename) - and it doesn't work. Seems the problem only applies to mobile projects.
i installed flash cs4 to my pc can i come to classes and modificate it? (i mean standarted classes from adobe)

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?
View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 3 RepliesI 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.

View 2 RepliesLets say we have an online application written in AS3 and served from a server as a SWF. The first version to go out is V1.0.
Several users, some behind a proxy server, use the V1.0 application and now there is a cached copy on the client machines and the proxy server.
V1.1 is released and placed on the server. All users should see V1.1, but results will vary, some will be served the fresh copy, some will for a period receive their cache's copy, and finally some will be served the cache'd copy in the proxy server.
I can be code in the V1.0 that checks a server variable to see if it's out of date. BUT if it is out of date, is there a way in AS3 to force it download a fresh copy, or apply the differences into itself?
Considering that I don't have access to the proxy server and can't manually or automatically clear the cache.
