Flex :: 3 - Duplicate The Project And Work On The Copy?
Mar 14, 2011
Is there a way to duplicate the project and work on the copy? It's critical that I don't screw-up the original. But, I'd like to make major changes to the copy. I tried making a copy of the project and renaming it. But, when I try to import the copy into Flex Builder, it says: "A project with the same name already exists in your workspace. Rename or delete the existing project." -- even though I renamed the project file and the main mxml file. Unfortunately, I don't have a subversion program set-up, and I think that it will be a hassle to do so. Is there an easy way to work on a copy of a project?
This is a pretty odd situation I have here. I have used a piece of code to interact with a backend SOAP service for several months - it works fine. I tried it out in a different project (first as an swc library and then just by cutting and pasting) and it just doesnt work.If I try the exact same code in the original flex project, connecting to the same backend service, everything works fine. In the new project, I can call operations that take simple document-literal wrappers as params (they have no real parameters) - but if the operation has a complex parameter inside the document literal wrapper - fail on this new project. Here is a sample that would fail:[code]
-Examined the posts in firebug from both projects and can not see a difference (meaning that the code appears to generate the exact same SOAP request in both projects (as one expects)
-I have verified that the requests should work using SOAPui to directly query the web service
The back end service is an Apache CXF webservice and here is a sample of the error it generates:URL...
I'm trying to use the Profiler for the first time so I don't know much about it. But it doesn't seem to work.I run my project under profiler, it says it is running, but no window shows up. Nothing. I can see the project's icon down there but I see no window at all.Can this be cause by the fact that I'm using Flex 4.5? You can the app in the dock and it shows its live objects, but I don't see the apps' window and cannot interact with it. The app is just a simple 400x400 window with some black shapes in it.
I'm trying to use a SharedObject in a Flex 4.5 mobile project. The SDK I'm using is 4.5.1, and the AIR version is 2.6.0. I'm trying to locally store user credentials for my application using this piece of code:
Is there any way to copy a folder with a bunch of layers and keyframes to a different flash project?
or in another way is there a way for me to save time and copy a work i have done on a different project and use it in a new, consisting a keyframed animation?
I have a file that I've been working on, and i want to take what I have and modify it heavily, but I want to keep the original; if there was a 'duplicate' project command I would do that, but I don't see one, and wondered if there might be a way to keep it all in the same project for tidiness purposes. I'd just copy paste the directory myself but just want to make sure I'm not missing some functionality.
With parent artifactId of swf, swc, war set to swf, swc, test respectively.On executing mvn on test folder(for that matter clean or anything) I get this following error.
G:Projects est>mvn -e + Error stacktraces are turned on. [INFO] Scanning for projects... Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/test/swc/1.0-snapshot/swc-1.0-snapshot.pom

Looks like its trying to download the project from maven's central repository instead of building it.
IF you copy a motion tween as an AS how do you insert the code so that it still performs the motion?I created a motion tween, copied it, deleted all frames, made just 1 frame, placed the object on the frame (from the library with the same name used in the original tween) pasted the AS onto that frame of the relevant layer but it does not work
I've recently started making a game in FlexBuilder. The game is currently a Flex project. Is there any downside to using Flex as opposed to just Actionscript? A friend of a friend told me that Flex is slower than an Actionscript project. I've been unable to validate this on the internet; is there any truth to that claim?
I have a CodeIgniter project and I made a back-office in Flex. I was wondering how I can implement the Flex project in my CodeIgniter since I'm working with routing I can't route to any directory. So there isn't a way to display the back-office.
I have 2 flex projects which were create in flash builder 4.5.....how can i call one project from second??? the best would execute to the same window.... I'm interesting about both possibility (in browser and air too).
I have one Eclipse Workspace containing two projects. - The first is my actual library. - The second is example code for using the library.When I push this code to GitHub, I don't want two separate projects, I want the example code to go into an "example" folder of the second library.How and where would I do this? From Eclipse, GIT, or GitHub?Or is there a better way of including sample code in GitHub projects? (the example code doesn't actually need any version control)
I'm having a hell of a time trying to get a custom mask to work on a project I'm creating.
The mask I'm trying to use is applied as a pixel mask on a layer in the photoshop doc I'm working off, but I can't seem to figure out the proper way to get that layer mask imported into flash, to then compile into my .swc and be called from actionscript. (I'm coding in Flex)
Whats the proper workflow for getting a pixel mask imported from photoshop so that when I call:
container.mask = myMask;
It'll show up as the shape I want, and not just a square box the size of my shape?
I'm using flash cs5.5 and today I opened my project to start working... just to find out that the project panel does not work. When I click the tab to expand it, flash hangs for a minute and then it works, but the panel is blank, empty. The odd thing, I saved the project as CS5 version to open it in the CS5 Flash, but CS5 it's broken too.
I tried opening Flash (both versions) without loading any project and the tab does not work either.
I am Dinesh and new to action scripts, I need to design a flash interface that have a dynamic text field and fetches lines from a external text file for e.g.
-59684578
-59879889
-65656566
This should display in the dynamic field with a loop and fast (less than a second) and there should be a start/stop and a reset button on the interface to control the same.
I´m working on a project for a presentation, but there is a weird bug...When I test the project in Flash, it works properly, but when I open the .exe or .swf file in my pc, it apparently does not work.The proyect is set to be in full screen, but while testing the .exe, if I press (ESC) to leave full screen mode, then it works perfect!
I need my proyect to be full screen, so removing that feature is not an option.The bug makes my proyect to stop in a frame, but if I press ESC, I can see that the project never stoped, and it's in the frame that it should be.I uploaded my proyect so you can download it if you want and help me. It weighs 3Mb, and contains a video.[URL]
trying to make the close button work on this homework project. This app scatters photos on the stage, randomly and at random angles. They are drag and droppable and the clicked photo comes to the fore. Each photo has a close button intended to remove the photo from the stage, this last is what won't work. I know its a common topic, but nothing I've tried has worked so far. onClickCloseBtn is the problem.
This has been driving me nuts. I've worked with SWFObject in the past which is great. However I have a requirement not to use JavaScript. So when I try to do flashvars examples all over the net, they don't seem to work for me. Steps to repeat:
1) Create a pure AS3 project using Flex or Flash Builder
2) In the index.html wherever there is a .swf, add a name value pair suffix. test.swf?foo=bar
3) In the constructor of the main class Sprite, trace(root.loaderInfo.parameters.foo).
Expected: bar but traces out as undefined I've tried setTimeout() to evaluate 5 seconds in the future, still doesn't work as if it's not loaded at all.
A web channel streaming service streams to a certain IP range, it only checks the IP in example.com/cmd.php?id=xxx (channel number) and outputs an rtmpe stream URL, nothing else.How do I trick it to get my local URL instead of the one on their server? I have considered squid proxy, but is there some way to do it with a firefox plugin or greasemonkey script?
Edit:I will try to specify:It's a streaming service from an ISP and cable provider. They stream for free to people on their IP's. On their webtv page, which is called webtv.example.com, there is a flash player. If you are not on an IP from their ISP, you can't stream anything but the test channel.When you try to change channel via. javescript:videoplayer_changechannel(xxx) it makes this HTTP request:
[URL]
If you are on one of their IP's you will get an RTMP URL, like this:
[URL]
This is what the flash player requests, and if it get's this response it load the channel requested. There is no HTML on the php page, just the URL. Note that the rtmp URL is static.If you are not on one of their IP's it will return a random sentence (something stupid, the programmers having fun).I wan't to trick the flash player into getting the right value, even though it's not on one of the ISP's IP's.
I am going to make an Arabic application using Flex builder 4.5. I have two questions that need to be answered What is the difference between ActionScript Mobile Project and Flex Mobile Project. (AS Mobile Project supports iOS and Android but I doubt about it!!) Is Arabic support available in Flex Mobile Projects or AS Mobile Projects? I know TLF supports Desktop and web apps but does it support mobile platforms?
I 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 changed a layer entry of my Flash file by moving around various elements within the layer. I sitll have the original file, too. I'd like to put it back exactly like it was in the original file. How do I replace the changed sprite element from the new file with the original from the old file?
Our users want to copy and paste some rows from an Excel spreadsheet, or a chart generated in Excel, into a text box within a Flex application.It would be ok for it not to be fully functional, like an ActiveX object, embedded in the flex app. If it converted it to a static image, that would be fine. But I don't know of any Flex component that supports this.
I cant "center" my project, like you can see its "fixed" (yellow lines) in the left side and I cant see "invisible" part of project... (area around the project). how can I move my project so I can see the not-project area around the project. (picture 2).
At the moment situation... (cant see that area around the project) http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/1186/68553623.png
One of the the most annoying errors to get is the "duplicate function definition" error! Flash doesn't want to see the same function twice... But what about the same function used in two different sections (labels) of one site? I've got two different slideshows in two different sections of my site, and I need the same function called out for each. The function is function nextImage():void If I remove it one, that slideshow doesn't work (remains fixed on image 1 of the slideshow).. if I keep it in, nothing works! I had wanted to use the same script for both slideshows, but forget that! So, I found another script for a different type of slideshow.
