Xml :: Utilize Static Data In An AIR Application?
Feb 5, 2010
I'm building my first AIR application after two years of building Flex applications with a SQL Server database, using ColdFusion CFCs and .NET as WebService interfaces.I want to create an AIR application with static data and I'm trying to figure out the best way of doing this, and how to do this. I have several related pieces of data.Should I store all the data in XML files and read it directly from there? Or should I use the built-in SQLite database? If I use the SQLite Database, is there anyway to have the data pre-populated with the application, or does it have to be built each time the application is loaded?

Is it possible to reference a control in an application from a static function?
What I have is a Viewstack containing VBoxes stored in separate controls. Ex:
<mx:ViewStack id="content" width="100%" height="100%" resizeToContent="true">
<controls:Login/>
<controls:Dash/>
[Code]....
Once I get logged in on my login control, I would like to change the selected index of my ViewStack. From my outside controls, I cannot reference my ViewStack by name. I can reference a public static function from an outside control however I cannot refer to the ViewStack from within that function.

I want to read xml data to a mxml application from a xml file on my filesystem. The example I found was for AIR,link2, link3. But I want to target the Flash Player runtime. If I use the the tag, I can do it; however the xml compiles into my swf. How can I retain the xml file in my release build?

Below 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 have two Cairngorm MVC Flex applications (a full version and lite version of the same app) that share many Classes. I have put these Classes into a Flex Library Project that compiles as an SWC. Both applications use some static String constants. Right now, I am storing these in the ModelLocator:
package model

[Bindable]
public class ModelLocator

I have created a Flash Map that functions properly with a static XML file but when I try to load a dynamic XML generated my ColdFusion I get no results. The example can be found at: http:[url]...The one that does not work is at http:[url]....
This map should load the different states that are in the XML file but instead it does not load any of them. The two different XML files can be found at: http:[url]....and http:[url].....An interesting note: Firefox does not recognize the cfm file as a XML file but IE does. This may be based on the file extension.
The Action Script is exactly the same except that it references adifferent file. The Flash works when published for Flash Player 6 but when I try to publish for Player 8 even the
static XML does not work.

I've flash app and i've static data (like ~18.0KB) for it which aren't changed often so I was wondering how to better get them. The static data may be in XML or JSON. One of my ideas was to put the static data in .js file within a function which would return them in JSON list and the other one was to return them in XML (as I like to work with XML more in Flash) somehow. But I'm not sure if it possible to put XML stuff in JS file to return them when function is called.. Or is XML pages also cached in browser and I will get the same performance result which I would get with cached JS files?

I've got an application parent.swf that is loading a bunch of child swfs into it. Ideally, I want the parent SWF to load all of the static data that's needed for all of the child SWFs to function, and them pass that typed data to the children. I've achieved this to a certain extent with something like:

I'm developing an application using Flas Builder / Flex for Adobe Air. This application will be processing a large set of static text (100 - 200 MB) using a variable set of processing instructions.The target platforms will be iOS, Android and Desktop.The data set can be either one large XML file or broken into a bunch of XML files about 3MB each.This will be decided at design time.From your experience would it be better to store the text in an Adode Air database or a set of XML files for best performance (including speed and battery life)?What other considerations should I take into account?

I've been doing some rapid prototyping for a game I'm thinking of building. one of the main things i want to do is map generation for a tile type map. While generating the map i end up using large amounts of ram. I'm building the map as an array of random integers for my test. When i try to generate maps of a large scale flash gives me the out of memory error:
Error: Error #1000: The system is out of memory.
I've already figured i could write to a file instead, to solve that problem. but does anybody know the actual maximum size? I've tried searching around to no avail.Activity monitor reports that ADL is using around 500MB "real memory" and around 700MB "virtual memory". The System.privateMemory property seems to match the "real memory" value.as a side note i'm developing in OSX Snow Leopard (64) with 8gb ram
EDIT:
Here the example test i am running
var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
for(var i:uint = 0; i<100000000; i++)
{
ba.writeInt(int(Math.random()*100));
[code]....
When i run this script from a browser, stand-alone debugger or AIR i get roughly the same memory usage readouts (which i know vary anyway). What is constant however is the final length of the byte array:
Browser (Firefox): TM: 540413952 FM: 19116032 PM: 562573312 BALENGTH: 13421778
Stand-alone: TM: 540577792 FM: 1810432 PM: 545361920 BALENGTH: 134217728
AIR (2.6): TM: 5410816 FM: 1159168 PM: 551464960 BALENGTH: 134217728
My testing methods might not be perfect, though i dont know how to do deeper profiling.

I'm developing a presentation based on flash and would like to utilize a presentation clicker to advance to the next slide. The presentation is a bunch of SWF files loaded from an XML file. My question is; is there a way to use a presentation clicker to access a snippet of code to advance to the next SWF file? If so, what do I have to use to make this work.

I am a designer, and I am very new to coding and I just began using flash CS3. I am currently working on a project and I wanted to utilize a video gallery that I found on the adobe site. The link is [URL]. And he breaks down the application on the link below and the source code is well written and commented but I just can't seem to understand coding. [URL]. So I was wondering to modify the code so that the thumbnails are images instead of swf files and the thumbnails are placed in columns which represent its own category. In return I can be your contact if you need a favor as far as designing something.

how to fetch the maximum size that the SharedObject class can utilize?
Something like
SharedObject.getLimit()?
I am aware, that by default, its 100kb. In the event that the user has modified their settings, and increased the SharedObject quota, then I have no idea of how to fetch the info.Is there a way to find out in AS3? Or should I just stick to the possibility that 99% of users will NOT change their settings.

I am attempting to create a music site with multiple cd pages using frame labels. I am seeking the best means to utilize XML playlists that include a full playable list of tracks from each CD at multiple label "stop"'s. I am struggling with whether I can create one long set of code that accesses the entire multi- cd playlist or whether I need to create unique code at each CD section at it's label "stop" that includes a 'local' xml playlist. Both options are giving me trouble. I am trying to extrapolate on actionScript 3.0 Classroom in a book "controlling Sound with ActionScript" example to multiple webpages - slowly and frustratingly thus far.Does actionScript 3.0 consider the actions within each label set of frames as unique code - meaning when a button takes you to another label new code is required that is fully unique to that new label section? I either get duplicate function or when I atttempt to re-define each function to a unique function in the new label I run into other errors.

Let's say you have the following situation:
1. Static var(an Array) stored in a class.
2. You create a variable reference to the static class in a separate class.
3. Splice some items from the reference variable in the separate class.
4. Trace the static class and the items have been removed from that too.
5. Verify several times.
6. Get confused.
7. Post on Kirupa.

Ok, so I have a bit of a mess here (Which I'm probably not doing right anyway, which could be my problem...). I have a document class, I'll call it as Body.as, that creates an object from another class known as Headgear.as. There are also other objects created from other classes, or will be in the future. Now, amoung all this, Headgear.as and all of the other classes Body.as will use to make objects require the use of dragging functions (starting and stopping dragging). On stopping drags, position checks are then made to compare a particular hidden movieclip with the dragged MC.
To try and save myself some hassle (from making the same functions over and over to ensuring that when the objects are created I don't need to send a complete crapload of variables just to ensure the position checking function would work), I had the functions for the event listeners (Which are set-up on the draggable MCs in Headgear.as) just direct to functions in Body.as

If I created a static method. say I decide to call on other methods within that static method. Do those methods I call on need to be static as well? what If I used some of the properties. Not to store data permanently, but just within that process. Do those properties need to be static ??

Alright, so I have a class that is linked (via the linkage panel) to a scrollbox class. I'll paste the class here:[code]Ignoring the formatting, the commented out functions are the ones causing the issue. Adobe says that it's a static class and I can't use non-static functions. The way I wanted to use it was:
1. Call the page button generating function above.
2. In the main code in my program is this line:scrollbox.setClickFunction(historyContent.generate Page);So when the buttons that are supposed to be generated are clicked, the scrollbox class can call the History pages generatePage function and pass it which page to show. (I did this because there was a lot of text and a limit on how much would display, so small chunks sounded logical).
3. In the onClick function (which I haven't finished yet because the rest wont work), when you click one of the buttons it calls the set function. Its that simple.
