View 2 RepliesI've just found out about View States in Flex (v3.0), but I am not really sure how widely this is used in real-world applications. Is it a good practice to use it? Are there any pitfalls such as maintainability for instance?
View 3 RepliesCan be PageFlip v2.2 by Macc [URL] or the improved version by 76design [URL] used for commercial projects? I havent found under which licence is it distributed :/
View 1 RepliesWould luv to here from developers who have made the switch from Flex-Flash builder to IntelliJ.
View 1 Repliespoint out any good tween library free for use in commercial projects? The main critieria is its weight and I only need basic functionality which could be made in several ENTER_FRAME, but maybe there are some light libraries without paying fee for using. Tweener is to heavy for me, I need basically something below 5kb.
View 0 RepliesI 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.
View 1 Repliesi 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?
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to run a Flex client in IntelliJ internally and have it talk to a separately deployed server instance? The server's a java webapp. This will make developing, especially debugging, much easier. What I'm trying to avoid is having to rebuild and redeploy the webapp to get the updated Flex code in it. I want to just build flex and run it against the server.
The flex client is embedded in an HTML page on the server, so in production the users access the client by going to a web page. We're using GraniteDS if that's important.
Update
I'm managed to cobble something together, but it's ugly.I made a copy of our wrapper HTML page and fixed the links to refer to the SWF in target.I setup the IntelliJ run config to point to that HTML page.I set the 'Place SWF file in a local-trusted sandbox' to true
Hardcoded the {server.name}, {server.port}, and {context.root} values in the service-config.xml GraniteDS config file to localhost, etc.
I can mavenize #1, but #3's isn't really a permanent solution. That part is still a problem because I can't check this in.
First, here's what I want to do:
* Compile my library code into a SWC * Do not staticly link the Flex framework
At first, I tried just setting up a Flex module, clicking the "library" and "use framework as an RSL" buttons. This however doesn't compile any of my code into the SWC, and it basically just compiles a new SWC of the entire Flex framework, all resources and classes included.
Then, I managed to get my classes into the build using a custom compiler config, but it still includes the few Flex classes that I reference in my library code.
Finally, I figured I could use the custom flex-config.xml file, remove the parent reference to the library using <library-path append="false"></library-path> and then using a custom command line parameter (and also from ant), add -compiler.external-library-path references to the SDK and PlayerGlobal.swc. This should probably work, but Idea won't let me set command line parameters when I'm using a custom config file
I recently upgraded to IntelliJ 11 and the version 10 debugger used to allow for E4X / XML debugging. I was able to expand the children and inspect elements/attributes of XML but now I can't get that to work. Has something changed/broken?
View 2 RepliesI have flex application consisting of several modules which is configured using maven. I'm using flexmojos plugin to build the application. When I try to build the application using maven it builds successfully. But I need debugging features of Intellij Idea (i'm using 10.0 version). So at first step I run maven compile command to generate *-configs.xml to enable Intellij idea compile my application. At second step i run IDE's compile(or make) command and it says:

I'm developing a mobile AIR application using IntelliJ.
When debugging in Flash Builder there is an option to clear to application data on each (debug) launch of the ADL (see screenshot below) However, I can't find this setting in IntelliJ or some ADL parameter to force a clear on each new debug session. I was wondering if such an option exist in IntelliJ or ADL.
A little background: I'm using the PersistanceManager in the application to store some user settings and I want to be able to start the application without the saved settings from my previous run. Using this setting in Flash Builder does the trick, but I'm having no luck with IntelliJ.
I'm trying to set up an old Flex project in IntelliJ IDEA but are having a problem with all embeded fonts.The font is installed on my Windows 7 PC and are also located in the folder fonts in the directory where my ActionScript sources are located. I'm using the SDK compiler config from flex_sdk_4.1 with additional option of -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true.

I've got the following Flex code in an MXML file:
<mx:Label id="lblVersion" styleName="versionID" bottom="0" right="10" text="Version { BUILD::version }"/>
where the "BUILD::version" is meant to be substituted from symbols defined in compiler options:
-define BUILD::version "'LOCAL'"
The Flex plugin doesn't seem to understand the compiler option usage syntax and flags "BUILD" and "version" as "unresolved variable or type"
I'm building an Flex 4 application using IntelliJ IDEA 9.0.2 generated sample Flex application. I replace the generated mxml with the following code from the book Hello Flex 4. It simply crashes the browser when I run it. It says "Waiting for [URL]..and then crashes I tried it on both FF 3.5.9 and Chrome 4.

im just wondering if theres a way to get the real x and y positions of an object in the real movie ( the root screen) that is locted in another movie
i have an object which is within 2 movie clips, first one and then another , and then my object, now i want to know what the real x and y positions of it is, not the locations realtive to the movieclip it is inside.
I can find a version of flex 3 since the release of flex 4. Will flex 4 work with my old project files?
View 1 RepliesI'm having problems compiling applications with remote ant, something similar to this. However the flex compiler seems to have problems with this. When I run the same script on my local compiles everything without any problems but when I try the remote ant it fails without giving more information.
View 1 RepliesI found this question, and it mentions the FlashDevelop wiki. However, I couldn't find anything there at all.
Where is a good place to start? I have done some work with MXML projects using the Flex SDK, but never any ActionScript programming.
I'm a junior developer and I'm having some problems with my flex builder 3. Every time I make a new project, flex builder detects syntax errors like:
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbracket before leftbrace. FotoBeheer line 23
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbracket before public. FotoBeheer line 22
1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before s. DomoticaSystem line 16
1093: Syntax error. DomoticaSystem line 16
Nevertheless, Fotobeheer will run, but any other program just won't even start. Does anybody have any ideas how to solve this problem?
I'm not a flash developer, I'm having issues figuring out how I should set up these two projects that I have in Flex Builder.I've already created projA which has a .mxml that references several custom controls & skins from com.xxx.controls within projA.I now have to build projB which also has a .mxml that will create a different .swf. I want to use some of the same controls from projA.I currently build projA through the command line and nant and will need to do the same for projB.
Should I create a new project to move all of the common controls into? How do I then use this library project in both the projects & compile via command?
Is there a known app (demo or otherwise) to generate a dependency graph of all projects linked to a given project. Typically these dependencies are seen in the Eclipse-->Flex Project-->Properties-->Flex Build Path. Graph is expected to funnel thru' all the way into these dependencies until the leaf has none.
View 1 RepliesCurrently, I'm trying to use latest maven to build flex projects in IntelliJ-Idea. But have no success.What is the best way to do it?
View 1 RepliesIn a typical as3 or flex project, after loading xml file, i load jpg files (thumbnails etc) manually, so i can use them in sprites / movie clips etc..currently i am working on air mobile project. and i am attempting to load some thumnails(pg) file to list view (spark) and using custom item renderer.itemrenderer has an spark image componnt in it. and its data property is set to Image object.i can check that image files do exists in file application directory.do i need to load all those thumbnails in memory. then use them?
View 1 Repliessource control on personal Flex projects, and what eclipse plug-ins are available for these source control services? I'd like to add some personal projects to source control when they are ready.
View 1 RepliesI have several Flex Builder projects which depend on each other (both libraries and "applications",projects which generate an SWF), and want to compile them from commandline. I know there is the fb.exportReleaseBuild ant-Task, but unfortunately it doesn't work on Linux and only comes with Flex Builder.
Is there any other way to build those projects, including their dependencies, from commandline?
I'm currently researching Flex visualization components for demoing purposes and am wondering if anyone in the community has had success building on top of any current open source projects. I'm currently looking at axiis but am wondering if anyone has found anything similar that worked well for building custom visualization components? I've found some stuff hosted on Google code but haven't found anything very mature yet.
View 1 RepliesWe're currently developing a flex web app and our build situation is far from ideal. At present we're (as in individual developers) just building using FlashBuilder and deploying manually. The programmers are currently screaming bloody murder for two reasons, though:The lack of CI is like going back to the stone ageWe don't much care for FlashBuilder(Note: We're only using FlashBuilder because it was the easiest way to set up a flex project in conjunction with Away3d and get it building / rendering correctly -- it's a stopgap solution).As a predominately .NET development shop, we're used to doing continuous integration as well as continuous deployment. Ideally, we'd like to get something comparable to this for our flash projects without tying ourselves to a particular IDE.
Requirements:
The build process must be:
.. runnable via the commandline
.. runnable on both developer and CI build machines (and certainly not requiring an IDE!)
.. preferably as IDE-independent as possible (pragmatism will kick in though; if this causes a lot of friction we'll just pick one).
.. able to run on Windows (we develop using Windows)
We don't mind a touch of duplication or a few manual steps (e.g. tarting up the build scripts if we add a new project via an IDE, or generating one configuration from another if tools exist), but the less duplication / maintenance required the better.
what's the difference between using Flex or Flash CS3 to develop AS3 projects?
View 8 RepliesI am wondring if anyone has a good resource for opening existing Flex projects that where created in Flex / Flash Builder and run them using the TextMate bundle for Flex and Actionscript projects.
Basically I just want to know if I can walk into an existing project and configure this easily or am I pretty much stuck with using Eclipse ?
