[Flashcoders] CS5, SharedObject AIR for Android debugging
Hi, I am trying to debug an AIR for Android app in CS5 and am having problems with saving shared object data. Originally it was throwing exceptions - I found a fix to use SharedObject.close() after each operation, but it seems that the AIR app cannot save to local storage in the IDE. Tried to google, but not having much luck, can anyone shed some light on this?

also be where I use a try/catch?

Another good point.
After I posted my code, I changed this line:
public class Test extends Sprite {

I assume that is how I would account for a timeline instance?

Nope. Timeline instances can, but doesn't have to, be Sprites too. And
the change is in fact useless for the purpose of detecting this scenario.

That's just my thought. Great points/observations. In this case, I am working with a box ad sent by a client... Sometimes they forget to add a clickTAG to their code. I have a different approach for AS 2 FLAs, but sometimes the clients send FLAs that need/utilize AS3... Long story short, occasionally, I have to crack open their FLA and add AS3 clickTAG support. I would say that 99% of the time the client will not be using a document class, so I can easily assign my class to the document and publish. The other one percent of the time, they might have a document class already assigned, so I would just create a MC in the lib and assign my class to that. But, you are right; I should write two classes (one for the different situations). TBTH, I thought I was being cool by trying to handle two situations in one class. :D Anyway, thanks again for the feedback! I will take your advice and change my code. Note: If only these Flash ad designers could remember to add their own clickTAG code, then I would not be making myself look silly in front of all you pro Flash gurus! :D Have a great day!

[Flashcoders] in AS2, what is the correct way to update a DataGrid's dataProvider
I have a screen with a DataGrid that displays live data, that is, data which is constantly changing. It's not a very large amount of data, so I just make a query to the server every 2 seconds to get the new data. When the new data comes in, the easiest thing to do would be to simply set the dataProvider of the DataGrid to the new data, but this is really crude. For starters, if over-writes imports properties such as how the array is sorted and which items are selected. So, to correct for these problems, what I do is iterate through each item in the dataProvider of the DataGrid, find the corresponding item in the new data and copy its properties to the item in dataProvider, remove any items from the dataProvider that are not in the new data, and then add any items from the new data that aren't in the dataProvider. Needless to say, this is terribly inefficient. So, what should I be doing? This has to be done in AS2 because it is being incorporated in a legacy application.

Seriously do a search on the livedocs site for the flvplayback class, its shocking especially in light of the fact that there is no longer any local docs installed with the software any more I use Livedocs quite a bit - mostly for ColdFusion - and if you do searches directly from Google you tend to get older Livedocs content just because it's been around longer. For example, if I just type a CFML tag into a Google search, the first Livedocs hit will likely be for CF 7 or even 6 - the current version is 9. And this isn't just an issue with Adobe's documentation. I see it all the time with other documentation - even Google's own documentation. I do a lot of work with the Google Search Appliance, and my first documentation hit for a search on that typically goes to a pretty old version of the appliance. Fortunately, a little Google-fu goes a long way here. You can use helpful search operators to help filter your search to newer document sets. For example, with CF, I can add this to my search: site:livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/9 And of course, you can automate this pretty easily in a variety of ways. What is going on with this?

Re: [Flashcoders] What is up with adobes documentation?
Personally I find searching google almost always gives me what I want as long as I use quotation marks around a key phrase, and I must agree that Google's results are not Adobe's fault. To talk about the state of Adobe documentation, I must say that I do find it lacking substance in many key areas; however, it is far better than what I have seen from many other companies. If I had to gripe, I would gripe about the stupid community help interface that, more often than not, gives double scroll bar screw-ups, and even though you select local only, searches the web, unless you go into the settings. Buggy to say the least, and it is quite the memory hog too. Air apps can be done well; yet, I find that anything done with Flex SWCs, or has a super ultra fantastic design, is too slow to work well as a Help window or some other app you could be keeping open for several hours at a time.

Re: [Flashcoders] in AS2, what is the correct way to update a DataGrid's dataProvider
Hi Andrew, Try this logic. So have an object which holds the sorting details, and another object/array which holds the unique ID/s of the selected rows. Now just implement the dataProvider of the new set on each data load. Then set the sorting and select the ID with try catch as the ID which you already selected might not be in the list. I guess, this will be faster and optimized based on sorting procedures as well.

in an event listener
Steve,
You have some things confused. Like Ross said, read up on event.target.
Your code should look something like this...
Var myMovieClip:MovieClip;
Var myButton:SimpleButton;
DrawMyStuffOnScreen();
Function DrawMyStuffOnScreen():void{
myMovieClip = new DefinedMovieClip();
myButton = new DefinedButton();
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,DoSomething);
//Defined Movie clip has several input fields in it
myMovieClip.TextField.text = SomeText;
addChild(myMovieClip);
addChild(myButton);
}
Function DoSomething(e:MouseEvent):void{
//What goes in this function to be able to do something like
Trace(myMovieClip.TextField.text); // This show a complier
error of basically I don't know what myMovieClip is;
}

Hello,
I basically have the follow:
Function DrawMyStuffOnScreen():void{
Var myMovieClip:MovieClip = new DefinedMovieClip();
Var myButton:SimpleButton = new DefinedButton();
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,DoSomething);
//Defined Movie clip has several input fields in it
myMovieClip.TextField.text = SomeText;
addChild(myMovieClip);
}
Function DoSomething(MouseEvent.CLICK):void{
What goes in this function to be able to do something like
Trace(myMovieClip.TextField.text); // This show a complier
error of basically I don't know what myMovieClip is;
Then tried:
Var myMC = new DefinedMovieClip();
Trace(myMC.TextField.text) // this works but is always
empty
since it initializes empty.
So how do you access the textfield that is sitting on the
stage???
}
Thanks
