Flex :: Adobe Flash IOS Packager Throws Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError When Packaging Large Projects?
Jul 20, 2011
I've been porting a Flex 4 codebase to iOS using the adobe packager, but have run into a snag when trying to package our whole codebase. The packager runs for a while and then throws an OutOfMemoryError - even if I increase the java heap size to 4GB. No single piece of code seems to be causing the problem, as it compiles successfully if I cut out large chunks of code, and I can change which chunks I'm omitting. It might be related to the size of the code itself.I've logged a very detailed bug report with adobe here: ou can package to reproduce the issue, a ruby script that generates actionscript codeto generate that AIRI file, and a summary of all of the things I tried before logging the bug.
I'm running ant to compile a Flex application, and the build keeps failing when running it on a windows command line. Other people in my team can successfully run the very same build under mac and linux. This is the error shown in the command prompt:
[Code]...
All tokens are set in corresponding build.properties and filter .properties files (and, as I said before, it compiles perfectly under mac and linux). The windows version is 7 Ultimate, FLEX_HOME is set as an environment variable to the Flex SDK 3.5 (the 3.5.0.12683 build that comes with Adobe Flash Builder Burrito). ${compiler.fork} is set to false, to avoid an issue with the SDK and the source files being in different logic drives.
If I use an Assignment within conditional, for e.g. if(userType='admin')
Flex throws a warning,unlike Java, which throws an error.Why should Flex be doing this, despite being one of the newest languages? 1100: Assignment within conditional. Did you mean == instead of =?
I build Flex applications. One of them shows slides.They're swf's loaded dynamically from a remote server at run-time.My slides are both re-sizable by the end user and animated.This is easy on the PC with all the Flash support.For the iPad I use the Adobe Flex IOS packager.Gets me just about everything I need - except swf's dynamically loaded at run-time.Apple's terms of service do not support it.So I'm relegated to flattening slides into static images which don't scale well when users re-size them and obviously don't show animations.
If I built a native IOS app with XCode I could probably achieve this with KeyNote or something alike.Don't have the time or resources.Has anyone knowledge of a sneaky way to achieve this aesthetic via the Flex IOS packager? Is there some inventive way to sneak swf's in or use another image format like animated gif's or something else I'm not thinking of that might scale well?
i have several flash projects and i have common classes. is there a way to share these classes between the project so i won't need to copy it to all the project when ever i modify something?
So I'm working on some localization stuff and I'm using the fl.lang.Locale library in AS3/CS5. I am using the strings panel, and can get stuff to the XML files in the proper XLIFF formats.I am attempting to be able to swap out text (and eventaully assets) at run time using the "Replace strings: via ActionScript at runtime" setting.As it is, I have to reference every text field directly by instance name. I have begun to place those text fields into a Dictionary to line them up with their proper IDS.I have 2 questions.
1) is there a better way to replace all of these text fields? there are a LOOOOOT of text fields spread out across many many scenes. Is there a built in "change all fields" function somewhere that I'm missing?
I have developed a very simple app in flash cs5 and am ready to upload it to android market. However, users need adobe air to run it. Does anyone know if there is some way to package the app with air? I want to make it as easy as possible for people to run the app. Users will be prompted to download air and I can put this information on the apps page on android market but if there is some way to iclude this in the apk I'd love to know. Can't seem to find information on it on the web.
I am going to build chart application with Flash Professional CS5 using AS3.0.Is there any possibility to convert this Flash application into Flex by creating movieclips and symbols in runtime in flex.How to do it.
I would like my application to be able to remain running while the user goes and uses another application. (It will be playing music) Additionally, how to communicate w/ Cocoa Touch from this environment?
If you think this is not possible, which platforms are capable of this (other than the obj-c mac x-code route, which I am trying to avoid)?
Could someone share list of active and popular open source Rich Internet Applications or desktop application (not library or framework) that are built by Adobe AIR/Flex? The popularity and quality I am looking for are something like Azureus/Vuze (Java), XBMC etc. [url]...
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.
put the macromedia logo on your cd packaging.I have done a multimedia cd that has significant flash content.Do i need to put an adobe logo on the packaging.
I'd like my application to be pretty light so it loads quickly. So i'd like to place all my assets (XML files, graphics, etc) outside from the main Air file and when the main Air file is loaded into memory, I'd like it to load in the asset files at runtimeSo how do I go about telling Flash builder to save my asset files locally when it packages my Air Application and also ensure I can access these files while debudding my application?
I have an Air app that downloads a data set of around 100`000 objects and puts the objects in an ArrayCollection.I would like to apply various filters to the data set in numerous screens throughout the app. am a little worried about possible performance issues if I make multiple copies of the collection. However, if I don't copy the collection any filters applied will be reflected in all the screens and this is not the behavior I need.
we have java and flex projects at work. We currently have 1 base pom that contains the configurations we want to use for both projects. Problem with this is: flex projects inherit configuration for javadoc and pmd for example, which they do not want.
I want to do this a bit more clean and have a real base-pom and then a java-base-pom and a flex-base-pom. But how does this work in a multimodule that has both a flex part and a java part?
We have plugins to our own application where we use the following structure:
The my-plugin just contains a pom.xml with section. I would use the my-plugin pom.xml as a parent to both, but then I cannot also use the java base-pom or the flex base-pom also as parent.
I am a senior IT student working on a mobile application for Android. I have 2.5 months design to complete implementation.App basics:
-Seismographer app -Record data from accelerator -Visualize data in a live fashion on a graph -Connect several phones together via bluetooth/wifi to sync up the data -Geo-aware application - optional
I have limited java knowledge and mainly specialize in system admin and web development. Given my constraints, is it better for me to use Adobe AIR/Flex/ActionScript to develop this? Or Google SDK/Java would take just as long?I feel like on one hand Adobe is faster, but Java is more straightforward?
I am successfully running Bluetooth-SPP applications relying on http://bluecove.org/ that is Java to Java. I do now want to establish Bluetooth-connectivity in an Adobe Flex-application. Anyone has experience, ideas?
What is the best solution for multi threading in flex, I notice if I play a mp3 in flex and do something else at the same time something ends up giving out, either the song stops playing or the UI hangs for about a split second. It doesn't have that fluid response that I am looking to achieve. If possible I would like to call a multi threaded java class to do some of the client-side end back end processing. I just don't know if that is possible.
I am new to web technologies. I along with my friends want to develop a web application. There is one guy in our team who knows Flex technology. I would like to use Java Springs framework at the back end. The web application caters to students a Music school. And for the same reason we chose Flex for UI since the application needs to be flashy and rich in graphics.
The application allows students to create profiles and interact with the teacher. Eventually we want to add Online Music classes feature with online payment gateway integrated. Kindly guide me which are the suitable technologies to use at the back end. Also let me know if SpringFlex with BlazeDS integration is a good combination with Adobe Flex.
Most of the desktop application development I do is in Swing, and I'm curious to hear people's thoughts on using JavaFX and/or Adobe Flex for building desktop applications. Have you had success building desktop apps with these? Or would you stick with Swing for now and use tools to help make Swing development more productive?
I would like to be able to operate a scanner from my AIR application. Since there's no support for this natively, I'm trying to use the NativeProcess class to start a jar file that can run the scanner. The Java code is using the JTwain library to operate the scanner. The Java application runs fine by itself, and the AIR application can start and communicate with the Java application. The problem seems to be that any time I attempt to use a function from JTwain (which relies on the JTwain.dll), the application dies IF AIR STARTED IT.[code]
Is it possible to load a .properties file from a client computer using adobe flex? I have a flex app that needs to access a server and multiple URLs but the URLs may change frequently. So I think modifying and loading the URLs from a .properties file would be the easiest way update the URLs
I was able to use florians suggestion and I've added the code below if anyone else is interested. I used the example here URLLoader.
public function URLLoaderDataFormatExample(event:Event):void { var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("file:///c:/temp/prop.properties"); var variables:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

I would like to learn Adobe Flex mobile development.I have created a new project called SampleProject, then I got SampleProject.mxml in default package and SampleProjectHomeView.mxml.[code]How can I call the add and sub methods from the class above in SampleProjectHomeView.mxml?
I have a swf, loaded into the non-application sandbox in Adobe AIR 1.5 (the shell is already installed with our users so I can't update to version 2+).On the stage in the swf are buttons, movieclips, animations etc - all of these work fine.When we add an input TextField, selecting this TextField causes a Security Sandbox Violation. Error message (in debug mode) is (I've edited the actual file names):
I am preparing a document for a project. The project's backend is developed in Java, frontend is adobe flex. I am not sure about the correct way of describe the project in Model-View-Controller way.
For Model layer: Using Hibernate Java beans to implement all the business logic and persistence? For View Layer: Using Adobe flex send post or get request to Controller layer, and get respond in XML format. For Controller Layer: Using Java servlet to handle requests from Flex client?
