[flexcoders] custom flex preloader - animation bugs
Hello, I've made a custom flex preloader in Flash and then exported to a swc. In the swf there's a percentage textfield, which is running fine. But I've also a timeline animation which is just running in the background. That animation doesn't run smooth at all, it bugs and doesn't make 1 simple cycle at all. Does anybody know what i'm doing wrong? Kind regards Vic
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Lightweight framework
I'd consider those still being on the heavy side. One we use is called Nimbus and can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/nimbus-as3/ Don't use the available swc since it hasn't been updated in a while. Nimbus is similar to Cairngorm but lighter and cuts out a lot of the plumbing. It also adds undo/redo history and handling of complex macro commands. For example, a parallel command runs a bunch of commands in parallel and a sequence command runs a bunch of commands in sequence. You can also have a parallel command inside of a sequence command inside of a sequence command, for example. The ASDoc inside the code is pretty thorough but there isn't additional documentation yet since the codebase has just reached a fairly stable state.

[flexcoders] flex2gateway and proxies
Hi all, Hit a small bump in my learning curve. Actually, it's quite a big bump. Work has just made some substantial changes to the proxy server, and suddenly I've lost my flex2gateway. I get a 500 error when I browse to it. I did a bunch of hunting around on Friday and found some articles and forum threads, but nothing I tried seemed to work. Can someone please give me a step-by-step on what I need to do to make the flex2gateway work from behind a proxy? I know it's got something to do with the settings XML files, but none of the articles and threads I read seemed to agree on which ones, and some of the ones mentioned I don't even have! Cheers, Seona.

You can download the source a build a new swc. By the way, I got your

public project samples using Nimbus. They'll come as time and priority

[flexcoders] Re: DateFormatter and dynamic resource management errror
Maybe all this will help someone else here looking for a solution to
this problem (and maybe some kindly bots will run across it at some
point too). In short, you have to compile your own SWCs for each of the
languages, and not just the resource library SWFs every other
instruction set tells you about. This means finding out on your lonesome
all the translations for days of the week and months of the year, and
anything else pertinent like date and currency format defaults. The
steps are:
1) use the copylocale to copy the en_US files to your new language
directories.
2) edit the .properties files located in your equivalent of
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder
3\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\projects\framework\bundles\es_ES\src. The
dayNames and monthNames key/value pairs are located in
SharedResources.properties
3) recompile the framework_rb.swc file. From within C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\ I used the following
command (taken from the build.xml script, which I'm still struggling to
get working - seriously damaging my cred).
compc
-locale=es_ES
-output=locale/{locale}/framework_rb.swc
-include-resource-bundles SharedResources collections containers
controls core effects formatters logging skins states styles utils
validators
-source-path=projects\framework\bundles\{locale}\src,projects\framewo\
rk\src
-external-library-path=libs\player\9\playerglobal.swc
4) from your project's root directory, re-run your language compiler for
each of the languages. Again using Spanish as an example, use:
mxmlc
-locale=es_ES
-source-path=locale/{locale}
-include-resource-bundles=LanguageResource,SharedResources,collections,c\
ontainers,controls,core,effects,formatters,logging,messaging,rpc,skins,s\
tyles,utils
-output=src/Resources_es_ES.swf
Formatters will now do their internationally spelled magic. Hopefully
this will all become useless very soon, with Adobe just handing over all
these languages by default.

Okay, I have what I suppose is a solution to this, but I'm still short
a coupla answers.
1) I ran the resource-bundle-list option again on my application
mxmlc -locale= -resource-bundle-list=myresources.txt
-include-libraries+=..\libs\CairngormWithExtensions.swc app.mxml
which came up with:
CairngormMessages LanguageResource SharedResources collections
containers controls core effects formatters logging messaging rpc skins
styles utils
The difference is the SharedResources and formatters, which wasn't in
the original.
2) I recompiled the resource bundles (skipping CairngormMessages,
which I'm not using) over the 15 languages. ie.
mxmlc -locale=da -source-path=locale/{locale}
-include-resource-bundles=LanguageResource,SharedResources,collections,c\
ontainers,controls,core,effects,logging,messaging,rpc,skins,styles,utils
-output=src/Resources_da.swf
So now it doesn't fall over on MMM or .
However, I have but face. Also, I'm about to make some assumptions...
The copylocale that I used earlier to create the resources seems to do
exactly that: copies. It doesn't actually create a proper locale for all
those places. So January in en_US is still January in it_IT when,
according to Babelfish, it should be Gennaio etc. etc.
What can I do about this?
Where can I get proper versions of these locales?
Is there a way to get the names from the operating system and apply
them to DateBase or is this already happening and I just can't see it
because I'm running an English machine?
Danke for any light you can shed on this.

Hey guys,
I have a Flex 3 app that employs dynamic resource management -
pretty
much a cut-n-paste job from the Adobe sample - with the ComboBox to
switch languages. I did all the copylocale rigmarole and it's all
working perfectly with the languages I've set up.
However, when I try to call a DateFormatter with a full month
(MMM or
) in the formatString it crashes and burns with the following
error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.
at
mx.formatters::DateBase$/http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::ext\

This is probably referring to the DateBase.monthNamesLong array;
formatting is not an issue with M or MM. Am I perhaps missing
something
in the creation of my resource files? This is a sample of the
command I
used:
mxmlc -locale=es_ES -source-path=locale/{locale}
-include-resource-bundles=LanguageResource,collections,containers,contro\

But it even dies when the locale is set to en_US.
Help? :)
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Extending Flex Webservice class
I'd say it's not possible without either using a custom compiler, or
monkey-patching Operation.as, which would be a pretty bad idea IMO.
You could subclass WebService, but then the MXML syntax would be different
as you wouldn't have the compile-time voodoo that is in MXMLC to support the
original MXML syntax for services (a leftover from Flex 1.5 IIRC).

Josh,
I can add the header using the web service's addHeader() method
programmatically and everything seems to work great when i call the back-end
webservice. Even though it is just a couple lines of code, I would like to
overload the send() method on Flex's Webservice class so that it creates the
header (using parameters initialized at the Webservice declaration) and then
adds the header to the Webservice before the send. Basically,
mx:WebService id=TempConvert wsdl=
http://localhost/Celsius2Fahrenheit/Celsius2Fahrenheit.asmx?WSDL;
showBusyCursor=true username={parentApplication.username}
password={parentApplication.password}
mx:operation name=FahrenheitToCelsius result=handleWS()
fault=Alert.show('there was an error processing request.')
mx:request
Fahrenheit{this.TempInput.text}/Fahrenheit
/mx:request
/mx:operation
/mx:WebService
.
TempConvert.send() // header is created and added in this call
This is actually sounding pretty crazy right now because I would need to
make a call to a class method that does the header creation. Any ideas if
this is possible?
