Trying to prevent the application from shutting down when clicked the X button, it still closing but the AIR process is running in the task manager. What wrong with the code?
Application Complete: NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.EXITING, onExiting);
Closing code:
private function onExiting(e:Event):void
{
e.preventDefault();
}
I have an AIR application running on a Mac and I want to have the behavior of hiding the window when someone "closes" the app (e.g. hits the red "x" button or cmd-w). However, if someone hits cmd-q or chooses "Quit" from the dock context menu or top level menu, I want the app to actually close.I can preventDefault on the "closing" event sent by the application, however, this causes all "close" methods to just hide the window. The only way for someone to close the application at that point is ForceQuit (or through a separate interface I provide, like a context menu option on the dock icon).
I have also tried capturing the cmd-q keyDown event manually, but it doesn't get sent. Also, this wouldn'tor the case when people try to quit the app using the menu options.Furthermore, if I preventDefault on the closing method, it causes my application to cancel a shut down process immediately (which is a terrible user experience).Is there a way to detect different methods of closing an AIR application? I want to be able to tell the difference between these closing methods and react to the appropriately.
Is there a way in Flash to detect if the user has quit the application? For example if the user closes the browser window, or has not been active for 5 minutes, then so remove them from the list of active members.
View 0 RepliesBelow I have a counter program. the counter starts running once i open the swf file. Now I need to place a button where i can get the static session time like say 00:01:50 in a text box telling " You have been logged for+time+time. I dont have any idea how i can get the locked timer. The timer goes on running. I want the static time to be displayed when i click on the exit button too. Because exit button opens a page where this time will be displayed, so the user knows how long he has spent on my swf.
Code:
//initial variables
var timing:Boolean = false;

I am working with flex's datagrid. I have a DataGridColumn defined as the following, where labelFunction would allow me to display a custom text. I am also using a itemEditEnd handler on the grid to manipulate the entered data for this column. The purpose is to take the user input and split it then store the result in different properties other than "fixedValue". My problem with this approach is that I can't find a way to prevent assignment to the fixedValue property (which doesn't exist).
And using event.preventDefault() in the itemEditEnd handler would stop other events from happening like changing the row from edit mode to the view mode. My question is that if there is other way to achieve the same thing, or a way to just prevent the assignment of the "dataField" data. I am using the dataField to identify the column I am editing. Leaving it null might not be an option.
<mx:DataGridColumn id="columnFixedCurrency" labelFunction="fixedCurrecy_labelFunc" dataField="fixedValue" headerText="Price"/>
How can i call a CGI script in flex 3? Also how can i retrieve the result of exection of that cgi script?

In my Flex 4.5 application I have a TitleWindow Settings.mxml, which is popped up by the PopUpManager.Once the user has changed some settings, I not only need to save them to a SharedObject, but also to apply them to the main Application itself - so that the changes are visible to the user immediately.For example I need to call its method hideApp(somevalue);
The spark.components.Application does not seem to have any static/singleton methods to get ahold of it.So how do you do it? how to declare, that an MXML file implements one or several interfaces?
package {
public interface Hiddable {
function hideApp(value:Number):void;[code]....
besides the main Application I have a SettingsTest.mxml Application in my project for"unit testing" that particular functionality.
I want to call a function in main flex app from the custom preloader code in actionscript before it dispatches complete event. Also i want to know how to call back to a function in preloader code from application

I've created a simple TabbedViewNavigatorApplication. Two of the tabs are going to send text and email, respectively, rather than load a new View. So I need to prevent the default behavior of pushing the new View.
Documentation says a view can cancel a navigation operation by canceling its FlexEvent.REMOVING. However, there apparently is no such Constant for FlexEvent. There is, however, for ViewNavigatorEvent, as described farther down on that first link.
So here's what I've got, but I neither see the trace statements nor am able to stop the navigation:

I'm trying to develop a simple mxml Flex application to start Skype from the AIR/Flashplayer runtime. Is it possible to get back events from a native Windows application? In the simple example of Skype, the OS returns control to the Flex app when Skype exits. But what about native applications which have their own event model and wants to communicate with the Flex event model. For example, a Face detection system which shows "Hello" on a Flex app when the camera detects a face. Can this be done in the current Flex framework?

View 1 RepliesI have a native (Obj-C, standard Xcode project) application and I'd like to integrate a partners iOS application (or specifically, it's functionality) into it as just another view in my application. The problem is that their application is a Flex/Air app. I really don't understand the Adobe compilation process on how it gets from a bunch of flex code down to an IPA. I don't see intermediate projects, shared objects, etc on the disk to produce that IPA. It looks like it doesn't rely on the Apple tool chain... as I understand it, you can produce the IPA on Windows as well. Is there any way to build that Flex app in such a way that I can import it into Xcode so I can link against it and use it as a library from within my application? While I specifically used iOS as an example since that is the most important platform, we'll want to apply this solution to our respective Android and Blackberry 6 apps as well.
