I am using Flash Builder Buritto with the latest "nightly" Flex 4.5 SDK, build 17689. It seems the dropShadowEnabled property is no longer supported with the Hero default skin. I get this compilation error:
The style 'dropShadowVisible' is only supported by type 'spark.components.Panel' with the theme(s) 'spark'.
Is there any way to disable the shadow without making a custom panel skin?

In TFS 2010 build, I have a new build and I want to call an ant script that builds Flash. How do I call the ant script? Also How can I compile the Flash directly? I've seen the Power Tools and this question but it doesn't help me as we don't have TFS 2008. I can't find any documentation on how to use the power tools except the 1 sentence on the bottom of download page saying to create your build the old way and import it (which isn't very helpful). I've installed the power tools on the agent computer but I don't see any new options in the Toolbox when I'm designing the build flow.
View 2 RepliesI just started working with ant a few days ago. Right now I have a general buildall.xml which should call each project's build.xml. Because some projects depend on each other, I need to rebuild some other projects which depend on it. This isn't a problem--I'm just setting the depends property of the target. However, ant is always building the dependencies, even when the files haven't changed.Let's say project1 has no dependencies; project2 depends on project1; project3 depends on project1, 2; project4 depends on project1, 2, and 3; and so on.I could hack a solution which looks at project K, and checks if project 1 .. project K have updated files using uptodate. If so, then run the target. This is messy and appears unnecessary.
What is the cleanest way to implement this?EDIT: So I decided to just hack in a bunch of targets, "check_projectK" where it does the uptodate checks on all of its source files, its build file, and the build files of the 1 .. K-1 projects. Due to dependencies, this is always handled correctly. However, this is still a large amount of copy and paste for a large workspace.

Since I updated to the latest build of Flex Hero (4.5.0.19786) AdvancedDataGrids flicker in design view with Flash Builder Burrito preview. Has anyone run into this and if so is there a work-around besides dropping back a version?
Update 02 19:29 : This did not occur in previous Hero builds, e.g 18623.I am using the default Spark theme, nothing else particularly special.
Update 01 19:15 : I tracked down the problem to an instance of a custom (default custom, i.e the result of doing new->component based on AdvancedDataGrid) on the same form.
The component declaration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" [code]......
The custom component instantiation. Note "fo" is a namespace representing the path to the package for which the custom component resides.
<fo:adgTest width="300" height="200">
<fo:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="blah1" />[code]......
It turns out that this custom version of AdvancedDataGrid causes the design view to break down. Very odd.
Update 03 2011-02-11 13:36 : A custom AdvancedDataGrid does not cause design-view breakdown unless I add columns to it.
Update 04 2011-02-11 15:13 : Filed as a bug: https:[url].....
I'm new to Flex/ActionScript (.NET/Java has been my main playground so far).I'm trying to build a Flex app that has a list that is meant to look and behave like an infinite list (of items - which can be any object). The idea is that the user should be able to scroll up or down and never reach the end of the list in either direction.
An example would be a list of numbers. Scrolling up will show negative numbers; scrolling down will show positive ones. Now, my list is a simple Flex Spark list (using Flex Hero).It is bound to a data provider that is an ArrayList.My initial idea was to listen to the scroll event and add/remove items as needed. However, in the current build of Flex Hero, there is a bug that doesn't raise scroll events for vertical scrollbars sometimes (http:url].....).So, I'm using the workaround suggested in the link above (i.e listening to the propertyChanged event of the list's scroller's viewport. The event though only gives me the current verticalScrollPosition. And it looks like the default spark list supports smooth scrolling and raises the event many times before the list scrolling comes to a standstill (it is a nice visual effect).Now, I need to :
Figure out whether it is scrolling up or down (how do I do that?)
Figure out which items are visible. I can get this from:
list.dataGroup.getItemIndicesInView()
Add/remove items as needed, so that the user can scroll up and down forever, never reaching the end of the list in either direction.
I've tried the following code but it doesn't work. (comments in code).
import mx.collections.ArrayList;
import mx.core.INavigatorContent;

I am trying to assign a variable to a view navigation as follows:
protected function list_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var name1:String = list.selectedItem.vPage;
var name2:Object = list.selectedItem.vPage.valueOf();

As the View is presented as a static and not a variable. When you try to submit it as a variable in any format (String, Object) an error occurs.

how I can send the (View)Class as a variable or if this is a bug in the SDK

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to embed some svg files into an AS3 project using the Embed meta tag. For example:
[Code]...
However when displaying these files as Sprites only some of the gradients are surviving the embeding process. From what I've found simple (2 step) horizontal gradients seem to stand the best chance of being preserved, but sometimes other kinds of gradients are as well. In one case simply rotating an object 90 degrees causes the gradient to vanish when displayed in flash. Does anyone know a rough set of rules to use when creating svg gradient fills so they are preserved when rendered in flash? BTW: I used Inkscape to create the images in question.
Update: Bizarrely the solution to this seems to be setting the opacity of any object in the svg file whose gradient isn't displayed properly to a value below 1. Don't ask me why this works but it does. It does however have the unwanted side effect of the objects edges not being rendered as smoothly.
I have a a structure like this:
e.item.fatturato_ac_s1
e.item.fatturato_ac_s2
e.item.fatturato_ac_s3
e.item.fatturato_ac_s4
[...]
and so on...
In order to compute dynamically the string I wrote:
e.item.(myStr.toString()) where myStr (type string) = "fatturato_ac_s" + Index (so I can have fatturato_ac_s1, fatturato_ac_s2, ...)
I can correctly retrieve the value of e.item.(myStr.toString()) (a numeric value), but if I try to put it in a variable I get the error in the title:
myVariable = e.item.(myStr.toString())
myVariable is a Number.
I also tried:
myVariable = Number(e.item.(myStr.toString()))
But doesn't work... the same if I try String to String....

I am having a problem with my build. When I add a valid statement to the code it will no longer complie and it fails with errors from an unrelated file.I experience these issues building with ant or building with mxmlc on the command line.Adding a valid statement to an myLittleBox.mxml will cause this error.All the errors are in ViewerMain.mxml.This file is not the main mxml file but it is referenced from the main mxml file.Before changing myLittleBox.mxml ViewerMain.mxml had no compile errors.There are no errors related to myLittleBox.mxml myLittleBox. mxml has no references to ViewerMain and only uses spark components ViewerMain.mxml has no direct references to myLittleBox.mxml. Its children's children's children would have a reference to myLittleBox.mxml.The valid statement added to myLittleBox.mxml could be many things (they all break it) including a comment.[code]
I noticed that the Model was using a constant in Viewer 1.This was causing all of Viewer 1 to be built when Viewer 2 is built.I moved the constant from Viewer 1 to the the Model (where it really should have been anyways) and my project built successfully since Viewer 1 and Viewer 2 were not being built at the same time.It makes sense that this would resolve the issue however this is just resolving a symptom of the issue.I am still very curious what was causing the the compiler to fail on ViewerMain.mxml when I add a comment to myLittleBox.mxml.I guess that it will remain a mystery for now.
We are in process of optimization of Flex AS3 Application.
One of my team member suggested us to make varible name length smaller to optimize the application performence.
i.e.var IsRegionSelected:Boolean = false; //Slower
var IsRS:Boolean = false; //faster
