I have a requiremnt where my Air application loads ZIP files instead of swf.The zip contains all swf ,images and other files.My requirement is when user browses for file in a browse dialog, user selects a zip file and the contents of this zip file should be displayed to the user.
View 1 RepliesI am working on Flex Project using Flash Builder 4. I want to load swf (that has been made using flash CS5 and it contains about 150 movieclips in library, nothing on stage). Now I want to load its Movie Clips in flex? How to do it?

var myDivContent = ExternalInterface.call("function(){ return document.GetElementById('target');}");

I have followed the XML Video tutorial and everything works fine however Lee says you can use a movie clip to display the contents of the XML file instead of one of Flash's built in components. Is there a way to create your own drop down menu or simple text field?
View 2 RepliesI want to build an application using air. The application should load the flashlog file and display the contents after performing some text filtering.But when i load the application this clears my flashlog.txt though my file mode is READ.I can understand that running my air application clears the flashlog and prepares it for new logging. Is there a workaround for this.I dont want to open the flashlog file everytime and check for traces from my web application
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to extract a single file from a zip file in Adobe AIR?
I'm using NoChumps zip library to extract files from a zip. In this library the entire IDataStream is loaded into memory and after that you can extract file entries easily. In cases where the zip is 5 to 10MB there are no problems. But when the zip is 80MB, which many are, 80MB is loaded into memory. This causes the app to crash and run slow on mobile devices. According to the zip specification,
"A ZIP file is identified by the presence of a central directory located at the end of the file, this allows appending of new files. The directory stores a list of the names of the entries (files or directories) stored in the ZIP file, along with other metadata about the entry, and an offset into the ZIP file, pointing to the actual entry data."
Also, I do not have control of the size of zip files but most average is 60 to 100MB. Files inside are ~4MB.
Does anybody know any way or any software which could decompile swf file to generate the source code mxml file and actionscript file?
View 2 RepliesI have built a simple Flash application that will be presented using a projector, the application will show messages in the form of questions that will come from a simple flat-file text file or XML file.
In addition to this I would also like to be able to add my own messages using a simple HTML form.
I've been looking around the web for some resources, but have been struggling to find what I am looking for. The basic idea is that the flash application will loop through these different messages from the XML, but then when a user types in a message that will also appear within these messages. Think of it as a sort of dynamic tag cloud.
I'm wondering how I can display an Open File dialog box, select a text file, put the contents of the text file into a textarea component via a button... I'm not really used to Flex so I don't know where to start or exactly how I'd go about doing it? I'm doing this for an Air application.

I have a block of html text which is displayed to the user in a TextArea. Currently, the I have embedded the HTML as an XML object within one of my classes, but this seems like a terrible design. I would like to put the HTML in an embedded file and load it into an XML or String object.
I've tried to search for how to do this, but my searches return information on embedding images and fonts, not text which can be loaded into Strings.
Is it possible to embedded text or xml files and load them into variables in Flex?
I want to display checkbox or button at the same position based on user role. How can I do this. I cannot give x and y position same for both radio button and button as I will not know the location in my application. Is there any other way by which I can display only one component based on boolean value.
Sample code:
<mx:HBox x="272" y="93" width="300" borderThickness="2" borderColor="0x000000" borderStyle="solid">
<mx:CheckBox label="CheckBox" visible="{role}"/>
<mx:Button label="Button" visible="{!role}"/>

I upload a file using adobe air HTTPService.Send method by passing byte array of file content read using FileReference. When I write the set of bytes from the server side (php) it writes the details of the byte array (buff) to the file instead of contents of the file like "endian=bigEndian&position=0&bytesAvailable=61127&length=61127&objectEncoding=3" . Below I have included the code that how I read the file and send it to server. Is there anyway that i can directly pass the data in the byte array to send method?
File Read
var buff:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
var localFilePath:String = "/Videos/sample.txt";
var uploadedFile:File = new File(localFilePath);

How to do a menu horizontal with xml and display it contents in a MC?
View 1 Replies The author shows a function that is supposed to trace the contents of any display object. In his example file he has several nested movie clips on the stage and everything works just as it should, this is the code.
ActionScript Code:
function showChildren(dispObj:DisplayObject):void {
for (var i:uint = 0; i < dispObj.numChildren; i++) {
var obj:DisplayObject = dispObj.getChildAt(i)
[code]....
The problem I am having is that when I open a new actionScript 3 .fla and try to recreate the nested movie clips and use the same code I get these errors:
ActionScript Code:
line 3 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getChildAt through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
var obj:DisplayObject = dispObj.getChildAt(i)
line 2 1119: Access of possibly undefined property numChildren through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
for(var i:uint = 0; i < dispObj.numChildren; i++){
Seems like something easy, but I don't see it in the docs. If I have a movieClip or sprite that is 200x200, and I generate an object that is 300x300 and add it as a child of the original mc, how do I clip the bounds so that I don't see content outside of the original mc? Do I have to create and apply a mask?

I would like to send data from PHP to Flash however, it sends just fine but when displaying on Flash, it does not display the contents in the variable. Instead, it displays the name of the variable. This may be a simple answer but I'm quite new to this. Here is the code in Flash.

Another Adobe AIR question for you: Can we write files to the file system and leave them as read-only in Adobe AIR? In the future, we would overwrite these files (or delete them and write a new one).
Update: I tried the following approach, but I was still able to open the file, edit, and save to the file system after the process executed.

I'm having trouble creating an XML file from Air. It always seems to have some extra character in front of the first block in the xml file like this "¥". This application can read back out of the document, but if i open it with a text editor to make a change and save it, it will no longer open in my application. When I create this XML file, the whole reason I want to use an XML is so that I can possibly edit it on another computer, or in a text editor, and send it back.
Right now I'm creating the XML like this:
var myXML:XML = <motor>
<type>{motor.type}</type>
<shopLocation>{motor.shopLocation}</shopLocation>
<customer>{motor.customer}</customer>
<tech>{motor.tech}</tech>
