I'm creating files in an AIR application like this:
var file:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("myFile");
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE);
[code]....
I have written an Air program that mirrors a directory tree. The problem is that the destination folder structure and content need to be identical - right down to the creationDate and modificaitonDate file attributes. How can I change these file attributes using Adobe Air? I'm able to READ them both just fine, but the properties are read-only. How do I change them?
View 1 RepliesI'd like to hardcode a file to periodically check its modification date. Do you have to browse for a file first using filereference.browse to check its modification date or can you hardcode a local file (with absolute path)?
View 1 RepliesI'm having problems with my Flash file in that links to external sites are treated as popup and blocked. I believe links like this require the javascript file to almost validate the link and allow it to happen?
Well, it seems that the javascript that gets published always has a creation date of 06/03/2007 - whats going on there?
I would assume the creation date should always be the current date? Would this be why links are not working (they used to work)

I am experiencing a very strange behavoiour of Flex Date object. My web service is written in .Net 3.5 and all object which I am retriving or updating have Creation Date (Date Type) in .Net code.
But when I am calling .Net web service and displaying data in Flex, Flex displaying a different Date than what stored in web service. When I update my object using Flex UI, every time update time is very different than actual update time set by .Net code.

I'm a Flash MX action scripting newbie. I'm trying to create a dynamic drop down menu system that reads a text file to create the items listed in the menu. I've been reading tutorials and trying to break down source fla files to understand how things work. I'm stuck on what the following block of code means.Would it be possible for someone to break down the following code for me? It references menudata.txt to create the drop down menu. I can successfully modify menu.data.txt to create more menus and change the titles in each button, but creating sub-nav is totally kicking me in the arse.
The code follows:
item_spacing = 18;
x = 1;

I am working on a game in flex, and I am trying to create an xml file for each user if it is their first use, and then after that just access that file and edit it accordingly.Is there anything that could do this same thing first off, basically create and edit some sort of save state? I assume that flex would have some kind of saving state type of thing, but I am not sure what to look for in that respect.If not, does anyone know how to do this with xml files?

View 2 RepliesI have created a custom control Which contains an header(HBox) and list control below the header. I can open and close the list (Meaning list.height = 0 and list.height = 200) by using the header click event. Initially the list will be in closed state (height = 0). When we open it for the first time. It takes too much time. For the successive open of the same list looks smoother (I suppose this is because itemrenderer is being reused). I want to open the list for the first time smoothly. I have created my own renderer for list control which contains one 5 combobox inside a HBox.
View 1 RepliesDo you know any way to compare a date to a range of date using the Date class in as2.
For example i want to know a given day (11-12-2009) is among the start and end date of a given range (11-01-2009 to 11-20-2009).
I have multiple MXML custom components that I add on the fly (using a repeater) that is binded to an ArrayCollection. So everytime I add/remove item from the ArrayColleciton new items show/disappear from the screen. Is there a straightforward way to make item fade in when they get created and fade out when they are removed? I thought of using states and state transition effects but that will make things a bit complicated at different part of my application for those components to manage the states.

I have created a custom item renderer for the tree, i have added some children in create children function, my problem is that sometimes i need to show these children and sometimes i don't, depending on clicking on a button which also i have added at create children, the problem is that i had to create the item even if i don't want it to be visible, and removed it by making visible false, and this costs a lot of memory, i have tried to create it at buttons click listener but when scrolling the child disappears, and it may appear again if i keep scrolling up and down.. i am trying to add the child just when i need it to be visible, is this possible or i have to create it on child creation method?

I need a "days without safety incident" flash counter that I can update with an external xml file.I found this ActionScript 2 code on the web:
Code:
birthDate = new Date(2012, 0, 03);
currentDate = new Date();
elapsedDate = currentDate-birthDate;
elapsedDays = Math.floor(elapsedDate/(1000*60*60*24))
daysElapsedTextBox = " "+elapsedDays+" ";
How can I set the new Date value of birthDate taking the data from an xml file?This is my xml code (I named it "thefile.xml"):
Code:
<noincidentsince>
<counter>2012,0,03</counter>
</noincidentsince>
I'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.
I'm trying to add the time and date to a flash file I am making This is the code I have for it:
