Re: [Flashcoders] as3 to iphone app
Well, it is not a simulator. The SWF is compiled using LLVM to native arm code. Is every native iphone available? No. However, for the APIs that are available, there is no reason to expect that you couldn't build as full featured apps / games / content as you could with any other solution (such as Objective-C or Unity3D). mike chambers m...@adobe.com On Oct 8, 2009, at 5:13 PM, Eric E.

I won't assume that the level of control Adobe will offer in the conversion compile can be nearly as good as when compiling using Xcode. I could be wrong, but having people learn how to drive in a simulator probably won't ever be as good as driving the real thing. That's all. I hope Adobe proves me wrong.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS 3 - event args
2 other options:
Just have one event handler per button.
or use an anonymous function
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(){doSomething
(1);});
private function doSomething(index:int):void
{
trace(index);
}
(I havent tested the code above, so there might be some syntax errors).
Personally, I would always have one event listener per button as I
feel it make it a little easier to read the code.

One way would be to create a subclass of Event that stores the

In this case, though, I wouldn't even do that. You can just use
event.target to determine which button was pressed:
function onPressed(event:Event):void {
var button:Button = Button(event.target);
// Do stuff with button.
}
If you need to specifically use an index number, I'd attach that to
the
button instances themselves. Then you could retrieve that via
event.target.

Subject: [Flashcoders] AS 3 - event args
Hi there. I am just beginning my adventure into AS 3, and came upon
something.
In AS 2 I used to use a custom delegate class to deal with scope
issues,
but also be able to pass args (in an array, single string, etc)
to my
event functions.
So for example, I might have something in AS 2:
// snipped fro ma method
for (var j:Number = 0; j 5; j++) {
this._targetMc[dtBtn + j].onPress =
MyDelegate.create(this, onPressed, j);
}
// event method
function onPressed(i:Number) {
trace(i);
}
So the custom class would allow this to work in my classes.
Now in AS 3 as I have read, the basic delegate class is no longer
needed
as the scope issues are dealt with now.
So how would I go about accomplishing the same thing in AS 3?
passing an arg to an event method?
Thanks!
Dustin

Re: [Flashcoders] [AS3] Compiling just from AS3 code, no mxml files
There is not support for using the Flex Framework in an AS only project.

If you want to play with the framework, but don't want to layout your app with mxml, then the easier way is to create a simple mxml file that contains an application tag, and a script tag that then points to your code. This way, the application tag will take care of all of the initialization, and you can then leverage the framework via ActionScript.

Re: [Flashcoders] [AS3] Compiling just from AS3 code, no mxml files
If you want to create a SWF that doesnt use the Flex Framework:
--HelloWorld.as--
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class HelloWorld extends Sprite;
{
public funciton HelloWorld()
{
trace(Hello World);
}
}
}
Then compile like so:
mxmlc HelloWorld.as
That will compile a SWF.
If you want to use the Flex Framework, then you :
a. have to use the technique I describe below
b. have to take the size hit that using the framework entails
Hope that helps...

Subject: [Flashcoders] Flexbuilder 2 Alpha IDE problems
I realize its still in Alpha, but has anyone noticed that highlighting
long lines of code in the Flexbuilder 2 IDE is sometimes problematic, as
the highlighting is sometimes delayed behind the cursor for as long as a
few seconds? For example, if I try and click and drag my cursor across
the following line in order to highlight it for a copy/paste:
mx:PieChart id=pieChart dataProvider={panelTitle}
showDataTips=true
The highlighting suddenly stops at the d in dataprovider and then
continues, then stops again a few characters later, then continues, etc.
It seems to be worse when I try and highlight from right to left instead
of left to right. Also, the problem is inconsistent as to what
characters it stops at the next time I try. Eclipse didn't have that
problem as far as I remember. Anyone else experiencing the same? It's
a fairly annoying problem that slows down work.
Also, is there a proper place to report bugs in Flexbuider 2? I
couldn't seem to find a place on labs.macromedia.com - probably just
missed it, or maybe its on macromedia.com

Yes you can :-)
But in this case, a warning (not an error) kept showing up that
changes to the

not be 'spotted'.
I think this means that in order to do some kind of dynamic
binding, a
data source
is required that emits (modelChanged?) events (or
something in that direction).
I just kind of worked around it by using a variable (panelTitle)
instead of some
node (name) nested inside an xml strucure.
I'm pretty sure there's a way to use {myXML.day[0].name} as the
title

not get any warnings), but I'm not that smart yet,

Comments below: Judah Frangipane wrote: 1. A lot of things have change and moved in AS3. Will my flash app have to be converted to compile to AS3? Yes. You will have to do some migration. How much will depend on you content, but you will have to do things like explicitly give classes modifiers. 2. Will there be some sort of way to have a V2 AS2 component run inside a AS3 app? Or will old functions be deprecated or completely removed? V2 components are written in AS2. In order for those to run within ActionScript 3 content, they would need to be migrated. So, v2 components will not run within an AS3 app. Is it safe to say that our apps will require major conversion to work with AS3? Or possibly written from the ground up? Again, it depends on your content. My guess is that you won't have to re-write it from scratch, but you will have to migrate you code. This falls into two areas: 1. syntax correction / changes 2. API changes (i.e. moved APIs, events no longer requiring proxies). My experience has been that I have had to update syntax modified, and change my event handling code to no longer use event proxies.

Re: [Flashcoders] Need for the Flex Server
Just to clarify, we have not removed support for AMF from the player. You can still write code in ActionScript 3 that connects to existing Flash Remoting servers. The Flex Framework currently supports using a newer version of AMF in the player. Currently, the only servers that support this are ColdFusion (via an alpha adapter) and Flex Enterprise Services (which is not in public alpha yet). As far as when third party remoting services support this, you will need to talk to those project's leaders. mike chambers [EMAIL PROTECTED] hank williams wrote: I think that you are right that you need *a* server, but not *the* server. Today you can use SOAP or standard HTTP to access server data. Unfortunately they do not seem to be supporting the existing AMF/Remoting standard which was up until now, the most popular way for flash to access heavy duty server based services. Now to do that kind of stuff, you will need to use the Flex Enterprise Services server. Orphaning their existing technology is, I do believe, an unfortunate decision.

Any idea what I am doing wrong? I followed the examples in the

Cool, thanks. That didn't throw any errors. Now how would I traverse
that XML data in my mxml?

Try this (tested and works here);
I think the main issue was that you were not importing the classes. I
changed a few other things also. Let me know if this doesn't run, or
if
you have questions.

Thanks Mike, but I tried your script and got the exact same compiler
errors. Ultimately what I am trying to do is bind some XML data
into a
pie chart. I have the pie chart working fine, but the data is just
hard
coded into an Actionscript object, and I would like to use XML
instead.
Any ideas?
So, the data.xml and the mmxl file are in the same folder, and the
XML
file is called data.xml - and just contains 3-4 simple XML nodes.

Re: [Flashcoders] Remoting (attn: Mike Chambers)
Hi. First of all, if you need to direct an email to my attention, please email it to me, and not to FlashCoders: [EMAIL PROTECTED] second, as I posted earlier, remoting / AMF0 is supported in the Player (as Muzak demonstrated). AMF0 is not currently supported in the framework (AMF3 is). The mx.* packages are part of the framework. The flash.* classes are part of the player. This is an early ALPHA, so documentation and implimentations may not be complete. mike chambers [EMAIL PROTECTED] hank williams wrote: Ok, so I am potentially back to my original position of being concerned that remoting is not supported. Muzak did some work with the netConnection class, but in the old days remoting worked by requesting a service from a NetConnection by calling connection.getService(servicepath); There is no getService call documented in the actionscript documentation, so my question is how does this work now? I am thinking it is related to the mx.rpc.remoting package, but the documentation seems ah... scant. for the RemoteObject constructor is says: public RemoteObject(destination:String = null) Creates a new RemoteObject. Parameters destination:String (default = null) — [optional] Destination of the RemoteObject; should match a destination name in the flex-services.xml but what is flex-services.xml. And if I am writing pure actionscript why would I need to establish a flex-services.xml file either locally or on a server. I ask this question because you (mike chambers) earlier today said we could do remoting via actionscript without flex components and without the flex enterprise services. So I am really just looking for the equivalent calls to using netConnection and a netServiceProxy.
