In Flash/Flex, is it possible to capture the result of 'trace' in code?
So, for example, if one part of the code calls trace("foo"), I'd like to automatically capture the string "foo" and pass it to some other function.
Edit: I'm not interested in trying to use trace instead of a proper logging framework... I want to write a plugin for FlexUnit, so when a test fails it can say something like: "Test blah failed. Here is the output:
Edit 2: I only want to capture the results of trace. Or, in other words, even though my code uses a proper logging framework, I want to handle gracefully code that's still using trace for logging.
I have a button within a movieClip. I have an event handler on the main timeline that traces this.name when the button is clicked. I get 'root1' as the trace result. I would like to trace the button name.
we use "document.write" in javascript, similarly i use "trace" in flash. But, what if i want it to get displayed in the swf itself. Will i have to use a "dynamic text box" (if yes, how) like writing " mytxtbox.text= ..." or what else is the way. The point being that the result that gets displyed in the output panel because of trace should come in the 'swf' so that someone using the swf to test would not need my .fla
I am not sure even what to call this but if I have set a text field value and other various values with functions in AS3 to where I can trace the values in the output panel. How do I then capture that data to be sent to fields in a shopping cart? Make sense?
I'm getting the geolocation data of a viewer and creating a textfield to display this data (city,state). After the data is pulled the text is measured to fit in the textbox and if the length of the city is too long, the text is adjusted in size to fill the textfield. When I trace the end result of the final text size, I keep getting the (same) trace result outputted infinitely.
[Code]...
It worked, but I needed the text box to be made according to what data was pulled from the geolocation xml, so I added it in the geolocation script.
Keep in mind that I've been teaching myself AS for the past couple of days FROM SCRATCH. don't throw out comments like "what the hell are you doing that for?". If there's a way you can improve on the following, please let me know politely
I've been looking around everywhere to find a wait function and found nothing that will actually stop the code. I also read up on why it doesn't exist (because after 15 seconds browsers think Flash has become unstable).
I've always just assumed that all trace statements in your code do not get published into your final SWF.... but then i saw "Omit Trace Actions" in the Publish menu... So, my question is this... If i do not select the "Omit Trace Actions" in the publish menu, will :
1.) My SWF filesize be bigger? 2.) My SWF run slightly slower on my website? (because it is still tracing out the statements)
how to trace the elements in my code since my variables are populated dynamically. I have tried to use trace(cartOrder[0]); but when I do I just get the output [object movieclip]. I want it to give me the name of the handbag. My code is
var cartOrder:Array = []; Code: var cartOrder:Array = [];
And it works. My question is what code to put to replace trace(xmlData); with code that will allow me the XML components be arranged in textfields. Here is how my XML is constructed:
[Code]...
What code to put in AS so when i start naming my textfields tf1,tf2,tf3,tf4 each line from the XML to go to its text field (like first line from the XML goes to tf1, second line to tf2 etc.)
Visual Studio had a command "showDialog()" which allowed you to show your form as a dialog box on the screen. The advantage to this was that the code calling the dialog box would pause, stopping execution entirely until the dialog box closed. The benefit was you could write your code as follows (made "actionscriptey"):
Code: var result:DialogResult = form1.showDialog(); if (result == DialogResult.OK)
How can i call a CGI script in flex 3? Also how can i retrieve the result of exection of that cgi script?
For example, lets say my CGI script(hello.cgi) just display "hello world". How can i call this script from flex 3 and then retrieve the result, i.e. hello world , so that it can be displayed on my flex application.
XML is cool in flex, but I have an annoying problem to solve, caused by what I can imagine is a feature. You see, when you have just one tag of something, it creates an object which is not an array. But when finds more than one, it puts it on an array structure.[code]I could check the format of resObj.specifictag (to check if it is has an array) and then duplicate the code (for each case). But -even if it's calling a function- I don't think it is an elegant solution.Well, I hope someone has a good idea on this matter. (I know from experience that SO has much more C++ experts than flex, but well...)The perfect thing would be that HTTPrequest handled every tag in a consistent way (using always arrays... though I'm guessing that that would also have its drawbacks).
I'm trying to feed data from SQL database to FLEX, using php script in the middle. I see the data in body of message in the Network Monitor and in "Variable" window during debug, but i cant retrieve them to XML.
Below (event.message.toString())
(mx.messaging.messages::AcknowledgeMessage)#0 body = "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <articles> <node><id>2</id>
I need to make a function that execute a java method and return his result. It is static becouse a lot of other functions will call this function. So I did this:
public static function FKDescription(dest:String):String{ var jRemote:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject(); var s:String;
[Code].....
But the function returns null, because the valresult() was not been called at the end of main function. What shoud I do to make FKDescription() return the string that came from remoteobject?
Using the following SQLite statement: SELECT Customer, SUM(OrderAmount) AS TotalOrder FROM OrdersTable GROUP BY Customer I get the result of total sum (total order) of each customer. How can I put the above result into a itemRenderer label.text ?
In my Flex Application I am receiving Unicode result from back end ( web service) an displaying it in Flex Label component Eg. Response string = [u8868u7af9uff5eFulfillment
I am binding response to label component When I am displaying it in label its not showing me Japanese character .Storing this information in properties file works
I'm attempting to upload a file using FileRef and a php script. The file uploads and it definitely returns a test string ( I can see it with a web debugger).. but I can't grab that string in my flex app. I am using a DataEvent listener and a COMPLETE listener Still no result.What am I doing wrong here?
fileRef.addEventListener(DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA, onFileResponse); fileRef.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, fileRef_complete); private function fileRef_complete(evt:Event):void{
This code is for my login component. I want to get a special string for encrypting my password. This string is given by my authservice. But when i login i get a multiple times a alert with Done(line 69 in the pastebin code or line 4 in the code on the bottom of this question). But i want that it shows one single time. Does someone know what is wrong with this code?
protected function tryLogin():void { encryptStringResult.addEventListener('result', function(event:ResultEvent):void { var encryptString:String = event.result.toString();
I am trying to bind an ArrayCollection result coming in from the server to my DataGrid created dynamically in AS. The result data is not getting Displayed in the Grid. var dg:DataGrid = new DataGrid(); dg.width=650; dg.dataProvider=someArrayCollfromServer;
I am adding the dgColumn as runtime based on some data from a XML and it is the same as defined in below static format. But if I use the same code and create the DataGrid as a Flex Component as below, it works fine. <mx:DataGrid id="dg" width="100%" height="100%" dataProvider="{someArrayCollfromServer}"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="Value" headerText="Value"/> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="Code" headerText="Code" /> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid>
This works fine. Is there some functionality or implementation different as far as DataGrid is concerned in Flex and AS.
[code]Information does sends successfully creating and doing the query above. But "result" event gives "Default decoder could not decode result" error.
I have a global settings class, and i want to switch a var (to 1) in this class, when i call the send function and switch this var (to 0), when the result event dispatched.
I created a class, extends HTTPService..i can override the send function (override public function send(parameters:Object=null):AsyncToken), but how can i override the function, which call when the result arrived?

Recently I found out that event experienced flash developers do not know that it is possible to get "trace" content of flash movies outside of Flash IDE. This was kind of a surprise for me because I was using flash tracer for years already and I know what a pain it is when your flash application works fine in IDE and then fails fo load in browser.Are you still reading trace statements of your flash movies and applications from Flash IDE? Then this tool is for you.http:[url]....
It allows you to read all the "trace" statements of SWF files without adding any extra code! It works in Firefox, IE, Chrome, Safari, Flash IDE, Adobe AIR. Vizzy runs out-of-the-box and configures your environment for you to start debugging your flash applications immediately (automatic mm.cfg file creation, determining location, debug flash player detection, etc.)More features
* Allows you to watch trace outside of Flash IDE
* Allows you to see trace in all browsers like Internet Explorer,Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera and others * Allows you to see trace in AIR applications
* Cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) * Customize font and font size * Automatically creates mm.cfg file * Automatically detects flashlog.txt file location * Comma separated filtering * Allows to set max limit of bytes loaded from the end of flashlog.txt * and much more...
For For some reason, I'm not getting any result returned to me when uploading a file to my server. I'm using a php script, the file gets sent, gets uploaded, but I can't get the return result.
I am firing these event listeners: fileRef.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, fileRef_progress); fileRef.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, fileRef_complete);
