I am trying to debug the Flex application. I am able to set breakpoints in mxml file, and application breaks on those breakpoints. But when I set breakpoint in as files, I don't see the breakpoint marker, though in breakpoints window I am shown the line no. And when I start my debugging session, the application does not break at that point.
View 1 RepliesI was currently working on a flex application with debugging set to Firefox 6. I set a breakpoint and was checking some variables... next thing I know the browser says "flash player crashed." How do I set it up so breakpoints work for an extended period of time?
View 1 RepliesEver since upgrading to Flash CS5 I've been having a problem with setting breakpoints in the external AS classes. Usually what I do (what I've done in the past) is to debug the movie and set any breakpoints in the class files using the debugger window before hitting the continue button. This has always worked in the past, but now I am having problems it it. It typically works once or twice, but eventually, I can no longer set any breakpoints until I close and re-open Flash. I know that they have added an XML file for the breakpoints, so I located that and opened it to see what was in there. It had a ton of breakpoints that were no longer valid, so I cleared it out and set just the one I wanted and restarted Flash. Again, it worked for a while and then stopped.
I then check the AsBreakpoints.xml file again and this time it had only the one that I had put in there previously and did not have any of the ones that I was trying to set in the debugger. So either it isn't reading this file or the file doesn't do what I thought it did...either way, it still isn't working right.
I can't get the breakpoints to work in flash CS4. here is what I do: In the actions panel I have a few trace statements and then breakpoints. trace("a"); trace("b"); trace("A"); now if I put break point on a or b or A or all 3 I still get all the trace statements working, so my actionscript isn't stopping at the breakpoint. Do you have to do something to enable breakpoints? I switched my workplace to debug made and then compile movie, it still doesn't work.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make the project build light by removing all the unused (mxml,xml and image ) files. Currently I am manually searching for each image and then removing the unused file. But is there a way such that we can get list of unused files automatically . I was trying to use the swfDump.jar from 4.0 sdk . But that dint work as it is working with projects that are build using flex sdk 4.0. I am currently using 3.2 .
View 3 RepliesIm using Oracle, BlazeDS, Java & Flex. I have an ArrayCollection containing data from a small database table. This table won't be the subject of much change. I want to use this ArrayCollection accross different mxml files to fill e.g. ComboBoxes etc. The reason for asking, is that doing a database call for each time a fill a ComboBox etc is slow and seems unnecessary. I tried doing this once in the "main" .mxml file, but then the variable wasn't accessible where i needed it. What is the best approach for accomplishing this task? What is the best way of making a variable accesible across .mxml files?

After changing the Flex SDK to 3.6 (from 4.5.1) so as to target Flash player 9.0.124, the project no longer compiles, producing spurious errors such as XML does not have matching begin and end tags leading me to believe that the compilation process is 'borked'.
This is a pure AS project, and so should have no dependency on the Flex SDK, howver, it seeems to be inextricably linked to the Flex 4.x SDK and Flash Player 10+. I have tried swf-version and -target-player-version in the compiler arguments, but there is still something I am missing to get this to compile for Flash player 9.
I imported an .fxp project into a Flash Builder and then observed there are 5 .mxml files in the src/(default package) directory. Silly question -- how to run each of these five files?
Since I've named the project differently than any of the .mxml files, whenever I try to run something it uses the default (empty) .mxml file named after the project. Deleting that empty mxml file didn't help anything. I also tried to clean the project, but nothing changes (although I see the directories refresh with the same contents). There are no html files in the bin-debug directory.
There must be some simple way to run those .mxml files that I'm missing.
Our application has over 15 different top-level mxml files to create individual controls that are used in our pages. We are using Ant to do our automated builds, and are calling the mxmlc task for each mxml file separately (See question 78230 similar example). Running the compiler separately for each mxml file, however, is already adding up to a considerable amount of time. Our build time is approaching 10 minutes, 5 minutes for compiling our flex apps, and 5 minutes for compiling hundreads of java classes, building jars, installer etc. Each flex compile run is reasonably quick (15-20 seconds), but they add up.
Is there a way to compile all of them with one call to mxmlc?
I'm interested in learning just enough Flash/Flex to do things that I can't do from HTML and JavaScript alone - play sound files and video, use multiple file upload things, perform cross-domain Ajax requests using the crossdomain.xml file etc. As such, I don't really want to learn (or pay for) the Flex IDE. I'm not much of an IDE guy in any case.
The problem is, most of the tutorials I've found talk about the IDE. I've figured out how to compile .mxml files at the command line using bin/mxmlc - now I just need to learn MXML, ActionScript and the various APIs! What are the best resources for learning these? I'm fine with buying a book, I just don't want to shell out for the API itself.
Does MXML get compiled down to as3 and then converted to flash bytecode? Also, is there a significant performance penalty to compiling mxml vs compiling as3?

View 2 RepliesI've been trying to create a custom mxml component that extends another custom mxml component (i.e.MyMXMLComponent -> BaseMXMLComponent -> Group). I've been reading that trying to add visual children to MyMXMLComponent caused error with Flex 3 but that's no longer the case with Flex 4.
What I want to know is whether this is a supported/fixed/documented feature of Flex 4? or just some undefined behavior in Flex 4 that may get changed with future updates?
if this is supported and documented feature, does anyone have link pointing to adobe document stating it as such?
I'm new to Flex and I'm trying to write a program with lots of content in it. There's a sidebar, a main content pane with tabs, etc.I want to be able to create MXML files (like sidebar.MXML, tab1.mxml, etc.) that I can then load into the sidebar or load into a certain tab. That would make my code a lot more manageable instead of writing all that code inside of the main MXML file.Can I do this? I have already modularized some of my code by putting them in custom components, but I would really like to be able to load content from other MXML files, much like I can do in PHP:

I would like to include an MXML file in my MXML file in the same way you can include an external file in AS3 using the include directive. Using the include directive brings the code from the external file into the original file at compile time placing it in the same scope. For example,

This problem has been bothering me for four days now with no glimpse of a solution. All of a sudden when I'm working on Flash CS5 it stopped stopping at breakpoints I set when I'm debugging.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to debug using breakpoints in flash cs5, it appears that the program is simply forgetting I chose to debug and does what the program is supposed to do regardless. Here's the code inside the ActionScript File, I'll put * next to the places I've tried adding breakpoints to but the code just prints the numbes 0-9 without stopping and without showing anything in any debugging windows. I've never gotten debugging to work fyi, but I have run into a brick wall and I need to figure out why it's not working:
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;
[code]....
Here's the text in the Output window. This is the only text anywhere that prints as far as I can tell, I've tried opening all the windows to see if anything changes but nothing does.Attempting to launch and connect to Player using URL *Path*DebugExample.swf
[SWF] *Path*DebugExample.swf - 2084 bytes after decompression
[UnloadSWF] *Path*DebugExample.swf Debug session terminated.
I'm using CS4 and is there a way to remove all breakpoints in all the actionscript code globally. I can only remove them by going to each layer's as code.

Are there any restrictions on Vista or maybe services that should be started, or anything that should be activated / deactivated?
