Flex :: Debugging - I Added Class Directory Via Flex Build Path/Source Path, And Now 'building Workspace' Takes Forever
Apr 3, 2012
I am coming from flash to flashbuilder I have a directory, AS3_classes_dir, on my computer that stores all of my classes, including my greensock and papervision packages. In every flash app that I make I include that directory in the Source Path, so that I can import whatever I may need. Compiling in flash (using ctrl/enter) takes very little time; only the classes that are specifically imported are compiled.So today I did that in flashbuilder, included AS3_classes_dir via Flex Build Path/Source Path ... but now the compile time are a couple of minutes, even though I am not even importing ANY of the classes from within.
I have created few actionscript projects and most of them uses same com/ dir with same classes library such are adobe or greensock.In Flash builder, on one of the projects, I`ve created new source path, to that common dir.So now I have structure like this: MyProject
[source path] com src (with AS documents) fla (flash file)
When I edit one of my AS files from src dir in Flash Builder, I can normaly see reference to [source path] com directory, and I have full tooltip reference to it`s content.
However, if I try to edit that same file in flash professional, I get no reference and there is no way I can compile file.What am I doing wrong, why flash professional does not see classes from my com directory? I even try to point it to that dir in actionscript settings but that did not work either.
So inside my src folder I have my app.mxml file. I have a source directory pointed to my actionscript library.It appears that Flex does not look inside that source directory including an .as file within the master mxml file.
I could just have the main app.as file inside the src folder along with my app.mxml file but it would be nice if it could live in the actionscript library.

I'm trying to build a flex project, linking it to some RLSs. When setting up the project in Flex Builder, the corresponding "build configuration" (that I got by adding -dump-config to the compiler options) generates (among other things) a tag like this :
the same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.
i'm new in flex.Here is my problem [code]i want to make source path dynamic.i mean i collected userName and albumName from php and i could print in flex.But when i use in source like this this way source="../../user/{userName}/{albumName}/album/{data}".
I recently switched a Flex project over to using RSLs. It built fine for quite a while but has recently dug its heels in and is giving me this error:configuration variable 'runtime-shared-library-path' requires a value for 'rsl-url'I went through all the flex XML files I could find and either this value doesn't exist or there are entries available for it. Nowhere did I see a <rs-url></rs-url> with no value.
Here's the issue: I have three files in the same package: com.foobar
The directory to these files is:
C:..mylibrarysrccomfoobar
then inside I have foo.as and bar.as
When I try to run mxmlc C:..mylibrarysrccomfoobarfoo.as I get the error:
A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure ' ', as the definition's package, 'com.foobar'.
To that I say: it does. The package is com.foobar. The structure goes ..[url]....I've found a few other forum posts on the web about this error, and it seemed like the user had to make the directory matching the package name, which I already have.
use the mxmlc task of the Flex Ant tasks with a user-definable list of source path or library paths? The idea is that the user can define an arbitrary list of source paths and/or library (swc) paths into an Ant properties file and the build file takes these values and evaluates them for use in the mxmlc task. Just wondering if there are any tricks (maybe utilizing filtering/string replacing) to get this working?
I was wondering if it possible to write up some AS that will take line paths that you have drawn and convert them into a Path object? For example say you drew a jagged line from left to write, would there be a way to have AS convert that into a Path object.
Facing one problem with Flex builder "Refreshing workspace" and "Building workspace" over and over... Am wasting almost 10min on every build. running FB 3 on my win 7 , 64 bit , 3 gig Ram.
So I've created a script where a mc is clicked on and the player can draw a path using the mouse. I'm trying to figure out how I can get the mc to follow the path drawn out by the player's mouse and when the player clicks again, it erases all of the path.my code is below
I allow my users to upload files from a directory. I use SWFUpload so that they can upload multiple files easily. However, I need to get the absolute path of the directory from which they are uploading.A little research tells me that it can't be done in plain HTML/Javascript or in Flash.Java applets seem to support this, so that's what I'm planning on using. I guess ActiveX can also do it, but I don't know much about ActiveX stuff, so I would rather avoid it.Also, I can assume that the users are using Windows (XP or greater) and IE.It there an easier way (other than writing a Java applet) that I'm missing? Having the user type in the directory into a textfield is an option, but not a very good one.
I am writing to an XML file which is placed in the src directory of my Flex project. But when I run my application, the changes I make to that XML file actually reflects in the copy of that XML file in my [code]Is there a way to reflect those changes to the actual xml file i.e. the one in the src directory?Server Side: PHP.PHP file is in the same src folder. Here is the related snippet of code:[code]
I created a Jing video to describe my problem. In short, I'm not sure how external AS3 scripts are supposed to referenced, though I did get it to work in AS2 years ago.
I hope this is the right place to post this I am working on a flex project in AS3 (no mxml).. I unchecked the "Generate Html wrapper file" and when I compile for debug it works fine in my target deployment path (which is called WWW).
my problem is: if my document class is on the root of the sources folder, the generated SWF will be on the root of the Deployment folder (WWW/main.swf) .... but if my document class is inside a package like com.projectName.main.as for example, the generated swf file will be:
I'm having a brutal time with a FLA. The wait time to open this thing is ridiculous, and alot of the time the program will just become nonresponsive. Its only this one specific file, as others open fine. It also has nothing to do with the hardware on my system, as we've tried the file on a variety of machines.The FLA itself contains very little bitmap art, most is vector. It's about 16mbs, but publishes down to a SWF thats about 300kb. There were some complex vector elements which were removed in a fruitless attempt to get this thing to move faster. Trying to "save as.." results in flash writing to a file extremely slowly. The resulting file will progress in size from 2 - 4 mb with about 10 minutes wait time in between. Its becoming nearly impossible for us to work in the file. how I could debug Flash itself to find out whats going wrong on load/save?
I am having some trouble setting relative package source path in the ActionScript Settings Flash CS4.Below is the folder structure on my computer.[code]The only way it will work is with an absolute path like /Users/ jenrosamond/Desktop/Tri-Template/classes.This project is getting moved around to several different machines though, so that absolute path isn't going to work.
I wok on desktop Adobe AIR application. It creates .DMG for mac os builds. It is actually command line application. What I want is the ability to call it from command line - add it .../*.app/Content/MacOS to $PATH. Is there any standard way to do it with AIR ? I need it to work on Windows as well.
I am working on a project that is primarily ASP.NET based. The main project is meant to be deployed to multiple locations for different clients, so one client might be located at website.com/client1 and another at website.com/client2. Within the application, we regularly use the application root operator ~ to get the path to a resource.
We also have a bunch of Flex applications that get deployed in there, and many rely on web services within the ASP.NET application. What I'm after is a way to reference the services relative to the application root. Here's an example of the location of some files for two client deployments:
[URL]
FlexApplication and webService are both exactly the same, so what I want to do is something like this in the Flex code:
var myService:CustomService = new CustomService(~/services/webService.asmx); myService.callMethod("Test");
I would like to avoid using relative paths for the usual reasons. Is there a good way to do this or a good way to pass the root url to the flex application from ASP.NET?
