How 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.

Is 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.

I'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 am trying to migrate a project from Flash Builder 4.0 to Flash Builder 4.5. After Flash Builder prompts me to choose my new SDK, I choose 4.5, Then I get the following error:" error "The required skin state 'disabledWithPrompt' is missing".

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 Timeï In the clip are 2 dynamic/variables text boxes. min0 and sec0ï 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 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 1 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?
where I can find info about compiling flex 4.0 sdk on flex 4.5/4.5.1 sdk.I am having troubles. compilation goes well on 4.0 but whe I compile on 4.5 or 4.5.1 I get blank swf.
Note: I have set flash player 10.2 for compilation and also as default.

View 1 RepliesI have implemented application client-server with spring blazeDs message services using JMS message destination. The idea is a producer declared in Java send message using activeMQ and consumer declared in Flex receives them. I have configured the AMFChannel with a polling interval 0, but I have seen when the consumer subscribes to the destination in Flex, the time request can be of up to 3 seconds.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to access html files protected by basic authentication. Below is the code to do that but I still get the authentication dialog. I checked the fiddler and found that for the first request authorization header is present but for the subsequent requests which is requested to load the .js, css & images the authorization header is not added. This is the reason I am getting the auth dialog.
Is there a way to add authorization header to the subsequent requests as well?

I have a TabNavigator, and each tab is a Module. One of the modules is labelled Units and the full code of the module is posted in this post. There are several problems:
1) Forms are not populated with data from the datagrid selection.
2) Selecting a row and clicking delete gives the very-common error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
A trace on the valueObject unit within the selectionChangeHandler function gives NULL. Why? Note: In other modules (other tabs of the TabNavigator), I have DropDownLists populated with units. This means that the valueObject Unit is defined in the other modules. However, valueObjects should be private to modules, and not shared.

I am working on a grid example in flex using advanced grid control. I know we can easily group data by specifying the field name. At the group node level, other than the gorup name I want to be able to show data in the rest of the cells ( calculated data ) and I am looking for some dataRowBound event or similar to be able to hook some data in it.
Example: Grid displaying list of towns grouped by state. At the group level ( for each state) I want to show the total number of towns in each state. Here how can i show the total number in the town column.
I've embedded a MovieClip symbol with the [Embed] syntax into my AS3 project, which I'm compiling with the Flex 3 SDK.
