ActionScript 3.0 :: Using A Variable To Reference An Already Existing Movie Clip?
Jan 28, 2009I have been struggling with what I suppose is a very simple issue: I am importing content into my application via a text file, this all works fine. I have about 10 different movie clips on the parent timeline that I have hidden (dc_mc.visible = false.So what I need to do is take one of the variable names that I've got from my text file and use its value to "turn on" one of these hidden movie clips.So I'm trying stuff like:
var directory = e.target.data.directory; // Grabs the data, sets var
var raceNameButton:String = directory+"_mc"; // Set data into new var
raceNamesButton.visible = true; // display movie clip with var name

Flex :: AIR App That Loads And Runs Existing AIR Swf?
Feb 19, 2010I have an existing AIR app whose main content is App.swf.I would like to have another AIR app that hosts and runs App.swf. When I say run it, I mean displays it's WindowedApplication.Here's the code for the 2 AIR projects (imports are omitted for brevity):
// App AIR Project -> App.mxml -> App.swf (it's just a window)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">[code]....
I get the following error while App.swf is being loaded:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at mx.managers::SystemManager/initHandler()[C:autobuildgalagaframeworksprojectsframeworksrcmxmanagersSystemManager.as:3001]
I believe the issue has to do with AirAppHostApplication's SystemManager conflicting with App's SystemManager because they are both living in the same app domain. Can an AIR app be written where a WindowedApplication class isn't statically defined, but loaded at runtime by loading a swf and instantiating the WindowedApplication subclass that's contained in the swf.The reason I want to do this is for an automation scenario where I have to assume I don't have the source code for the app I'm automating, but I do have access to the names of the public classes and their public methods exposed for automation. I have complete control over the environment and don't have to deal with any constraints around that, so I can put 2 AIR apps in the same directory, etc.
Flex :: Compile An Existing Project With The SDK
Jun 20, 2010I'm trying to compile an existing Flex3 project with the Flex4 SDK. I'm getting this error:
Warning: This compilation unit did not have a factoryClass specified in Frame metadata to load the configured runtime shared libraries. To compile without runtime shared libraries either set the -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries option to true or remove the -runtime-shared-libraries option.The resulting file is roughly the same as my old Flex3 compiled .swf file. Playing the resulting .swf file in the Flash Player also gives the following errors:
An Actionscript error ocurred: VerifyError: Error #1014: Class spark.core::SpriteVisualElement could not be found If I set the compiler attribute static-link-runtime-shared-libraries to true, then the error disappears and all is well. However, the size of the resulting .SWF is a couple of 100K's bigger. And that's not what I want.
I don't fully understand the concept of runtime shared libraries, but it seems that with the option to statically link them set to true, the libraries are included in the .swf. However, I like to exclude them from the .swf and only load the needed library at runtime, as my project seemed to do with Flex3 (I didn't know that by the way).
If I understand correctly, playerglobal.swc should hold all the necessary code for the external libraries that my .swf has to load. Do Flex4 compiled files need more libraries? Should I do something with the factoryClass in the Frame metadata tag?
I think my question boils down to this: How do I compile a Flex4 .swf that is the same size as my previous Flex3 compiled .swf?
Web Development :: How To Integrate Flex With Existing Web App
Sep 2, 2010I'm having trouble conceptually understanding how to integrate flex components -- forms, charts, data grids, etc. -- with an existing web app. There are certain aspects of the web application where I believe it makes more sense to use flex -- however, I DO NOT want to replace the (html/js/java) web-app with a pure flex based app.For example, currently the web app displays user data using html tables and java based charts, I'd like to re-implement this "data display" using flex. Would I have to create a flex "application" for the "data display"?

Flex :: Rebuilding Existing Flash Project

Flex :: Append Submenus To An Existing FlexNativeMenu Instance?
Aug 12, 2011I'm completely confused by this. An Adobe Flex WindowedApplication has a 'menu' property, which by default is assigned a FlexNativeMenu instance, which is used to create a native menu tree for the application.For example, on OS X, if I create a WindowedApplication, I get the standard 'application menu', 'File', 'Edit' and 'Window' menus created on startup. The question is, how do I append additional menus to this without creating an entirely new menu? I want to use the default OS X menus as a starting point and add my own. If I assign menu = new FlexNativeMenu; I just get a completely empty application bar with no menus at all.

Java :: Implementing Role Based Authorization For Existing App In Flex
Jul 9, 2011I have an application that is coded using Flex 3 on UI side and java @ the service layer, along with BlazeDS. Now we need to authorize the users accessing the system based on the roles that are defined for them in the database, e.g. : say a user with role guest should not be able to access Admin tab on ui and also should not be able to do any operations other than viewing the data displayed on dashboard. Also the point to note here is that roles can be created dynamically by Super users from UI. I came across this link which describes how to perform Role Based Authentication & Authorization. With this approach I need to define the roles in service-config.xml but since my roles are not pre-defined I cannot go with this.
View 1 RepliesAndroid :: Upgrading And Existing Flex Application Using The Mx Library To Work?
Aug 12, 2011I am trying to make my flex app work on Android, and that involves making an AIR app to run on Android. Seeing as the flex app needs the mic, an AIR app is required. I am using flash builder 4.5 on win7 with air 2.6. The trouble seems to be that most of it is now not available. For example mx.containers is there, but not mx.containers.viewStack. I notice that there are obvious equivalents in spark for some components but not others. VBox, HBox, Canvas VDividedBox, AdvancedDataGrid and associated custom renderers are the components my application uses the most. What is the fastest way to make this work on Android, I am under time pressure. Is there a site somewhere that recommends the best way to do this, and what components can be replaced with which?

Flex :: Store ColorPicker Value In A Variable And Bind The Variable To A TextInput
Dec 11, 2009I would like to store a hex colorPicker value in a variable and then cast the value of the var backout to a textInput. The textInput is just to see witch hexcolor i have choosen.
thus meaning seeing 0x000000 in the textInput.
what i've done now is pretty simple i have bound the flex colorPicker directly to my textInput. but i want to store the value from the colorPicker in a var first and than spit it backout to the textInput to see the value that i have picked.
When i pick a color value that begins with the number 0 it drops the 0's at the beginning of the number and only spits out the numbers greater than 0. (000033 becomes 33, FF0000 stays FF0000). I want to catch the whole value or write some kind a function to figure out how many 0's got dropped and concatenate it together with 0x. Store that all into a var and bind it to the flex TextInput.
This is what i've got.
