Ok, I'm out of my area of knowledge.  I didn't even think we had good 
accessibility for mac.  Did we not ship the sources for mx.accessibility.*

I'm off duty for the night.  Hopefully you'll figure it out.

I'm developing on a mac. I tired restarting the computer anyway. :-)

How would I set a breakpoint in the accessibility classes?

I have previously done a full clean and rebuild, and it made no difference.

The link report from a month ago shows the accessibility classes were being 
included at that time.


I just did a clean and build and generated a link repor! t...it h as entries 
like this:

script name=/Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 
3/sdks/3.1.0/frameworks/libs/framework.swc(mx/accessibility/AccImpl) 
mod=1214927782165 size=3103 optimizedsize=1768
  def id=mx.accessibility:AccImpl /
  pre id=flash.accessibility:AccessibilityImplementation /
  dep id=mx.core:mx_internal /
  dep id=flash.accessibility:Accessibi! lityProperties /
  dep ! id=mx.accessibility:UIComponentAccImpl /
  dep id=mx.core:UIComponent /
  dep id=flash.events:Event /
  dep id=AS3 /
  dep id=flash.accessibility:Accessibility /
/script

But still, no accessibility appears i! n the actual binary.


If I turn it off in the compiler, the link report doesn't have these entries, 
so it's clearly *trying* to include the accessibility features. They just 
aren't working.

This is very frustrating.

This is really annoying.

This happened to me back in January and now it has happened again.

I've followed all the advice in the previous posts to no avail.

Can someone from Adobe please throw me a clue here? Why would -accessible in 
the project properties suddenly stop working?

As you may have guessed, it has stopped working for me again. The cause is a

Re: [flexcoders] Re: custom flex preloader - animation bugs

2009-04-22 Thread endrone endrone

I already set that property equal to the framerate of my swc, so that's not
the problem.

I know a little bit more about my problem.
If I load it for the first time, the animation runs smooth, thee's no
caching.
But the second time, it jumps immediately to 100%, the preloader doesn't
close yet,
but the animation bugs. It's like when the preloader is at 100% stuff, it
prepares to load the appliction and then the animation bugs.

just my thaught

 maybe you're having different fps in flex (24 i think) and in your animated

 you can set fps trough AS:

RE: [flexcoders] Expiration date

2009-04-22 Thread Kenneth Sutherland

Depending on what your app does, restricting its use, for example
disable saving/loading/copying of text and similar are quite common
features to make users upgrade.

 

Or what you could do is put in some code on startup that sent a request
to your server to accept a response.  Only if the response was OK would
the app run and not exit.  That way your beta version would expire on a
set date and not from when a user had actually installed it.  You could
also use the auto-update feature of AIR for this, once you wish you app
to go from beta to release force the update on the user and then they
need to enter a license key which they will get from yourself.

 

Kenneth.

  Please help me fix a windowing integration bug in our Adobe Flex 
  application. I'd love some free advice, but we really need the problem 
  solved so we've also posted the question on rent-a-coder.
  
  All of our Flex windows (Application/Canvas/Panel/TitleWindow/etc) work 
  fine individually when running in a browser (Firefox and Internet 
  Explorer). Now we are trying to integrate all of the Windows together (less 
  than 100 in all) and we are observing some pretty bizarre behavior - 
  sometimes a window will load and other times the same window will not load. 
  But the problem is not intermittent - it happens very often and we can 
  usually force a window failure on demand.
  
  When the window does not load we observe the CPU usage in Task Manager 
  hitting the maximum, and we believe that the Flex Application has fallen 
  into an endless race condition in which it is constantly resizing the 
  components within the window (we randomly pause the application and usually 
  find the stack doing something like this). When this happens the window's 
  creationComplete event doesn't trigger and we cannot insert a breakpoint.
  
  We make heavy use of constraintRows and constraintColumns and we are 
  suspicious of them. We use a lot of Accordion's as well as the custom 
  HAccordion from Flexlib, but we've had trouble positively identifying them 
  as the culprit. Each window can get pretty buried in a deep hierarchy of 
  windows, but it is not always the deepest windows that will fail to load.
  
  We've also implemented a suspicious custom component early on to handle 
  system-wide ToolTips. It is old code and does some funky things, but when 
  we commented it out the behavior didn't dramatically improve.
  
  Our testing has been limited to the Debugger Flash Player, but we've tried 
  both debug and release versions of the application.
  
  I've combed Flexcoders and I've not come across anything like it. I'd love 
  to hear your ideas?!

[flexcoders] DataGrid Children Prevent Module Unload?

I'm using the profiler to get handle on what's causing a given module to
fail to unload and it appears that the datagrid is the culprit.
Specifically when the data grid is unpopulated, I can successfully
unload the module.  When it is populated, it won't.  I have the datagrid
bound to a local model object.  It appears that as soon as the datagrid
has children, the module won't unload completely.  

There must be some reference that the datagrid has that is causing this

get this error:


Flex Error #1001: Digest mismatch with RSL 
http://localhost/GAP-Pages/framework_3.0.0.477.swf. Redeploy the 
matching RSL or relink your application with the matching library.


   So, I understand (to a point) what the problem is...but I'm not sure 
how to fix it.  I can work around it by changing the Project - 
Properties - Flex Build Path - Library Path - Framework Linkage from 
Runtime shared library (RSL) to Merged into code.  But by doing 
this, then my .swf sizes get fugly and so it's not a viable solution for 
the long term.


   Can anyone explain to me exactly what I need to re-link to fix

But that seems less than terrific user experience so I'm trying to hit
the holy grail of all modules unloaded on logout, with the app still
running.  
 
Problem is, of course, that when something prevents the module unload,
the app springs a memory leak.   I had thought that injecting the model
into the module was the solution, by creating an interface for modules.
This was based upon a presentation by Borre Wessel
(http://blogs.adobe.com/borre/Modularizing_Flex_Cairngorm_and_Modules.pd
f).  However, I must not be following his advice in some fashion,
because what I'm doing isn't working.  My module's model needs to be
strongly typed in order to set up the necessary bindings between the
model and the components, but the interface to inject the model would be
via interface.  The question becomes exactly how do you update the model
when you retrieve data via Delegate?  I have tried passing a weak
reference to the module's model in my Caringorm event classes and then
casting it as the strong typed local version the module requires, but no
dice so far.

If you are using Cairngorm + Modules take a look at Modular

Hi Jeff,

Do your renderers have some reference to module

How are your grid and your module related?

 Once you download and install WebORB on your server, just navigate to

 This should bring up the console. Click on the Examples tab and then click on

Well, Today I spent almost 1/2 day with Management Console to

Do you know whether Firebird, PostgreSQL and Oracle are supported ?
Which database abstraction Layer they adopt. Is it AdoDB ?
Can I Add these three to management console for code generation ?

[flexcoders] maxWidth property not working on Advanced DataGrid

2009-04-22 Thread labosox

Hello,

I am trying to create a grid that will update its size on a column resize 
event. I want the grid to keep getting large until they hit a max width then 
turn on a horizontal scroll bar. 

Everything seems to work fine unless I have a vertical scroll bar present in 
the grid. When I try to re-size a column the datagrid adds a horizontal scroll 
bar automatically. 

Heres my code:

var _colIndex:Number = event.columnIndex;
var width:Number;

for(var i:int = 0; i = dg.columns.length - 1; i++)
{
width += dg.columns[i].width;
} 

dg.width = width;

//ive tried to add 18 here to handle the scroll bar   but then 
the maxWidth
//is ignored and the grid keeps resizing outside of its maxWidth

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Accessibility stopped working

2009-04-22 Thread Maciek Sakrejda

Yep, the sources are there--Gordon, you can set up a Flex library
project for the sdk ($FLEX_HOME/frameworks/projects/framework/src).

You then need to associate it with your project. I'm not sure if there's
a config-based way to do this--I just always stop at a breakpoint in my
code, try to step into framework code, and then FlexBuilder will tell me
it doesn't have source and prompt me to add it.

You'll want to set a breakpoint in the appropriate mx.accessibility.*
class (and if that doesn't work, you'll probably want to confirm that
your framework breakpoints are working by breaking on something like
UIComponent createChildren() or something).

 I realise this is probably strategically sensitive for Adobe as they want
 to encourage use of RSLs as it improves the Flex download size story longer

 Someone made the suggestion somewhere that when users upgrade or install
 the player, Adobe ought to download and install all the current RSLs as
 well. That seems a very sensible idea to me.

 Even if they were a separate download available at the time (or available
 as a Flash player professional version) it would be better than forcing
 developers distributing apps to do it. We have app size as an imperative

 If you examine the stream, in the first code, after the call to truncate(),

2009-04-22 Thread mark . jonkman

Hi Jason 

Sorry I don't have access to the full thread at the moment so pardon me if most 
of my suggestions have already been tried or are irrelevant. 

You would need to run the adobe uninstaller for the Flash plugin and then run 
the appropriate installer for the debug player installer (not the web 
installer). Though I've been successful in running just the debug installer and 
having it overwrite previous installs but I like cleanliness of doing an 
uninstall first. 

For FB3 you also need to make sure that you have I believe FB 3.0.2 in order to 
use FP 10 Debug player properly. Less then that and I was getting a ton 
warnings about not having the debug player. I still occasionally getting FB 3 
reporting back that I don't have a debug player and then totally crashing the 
browser it launched - up to 2 or 3 times a day (Windows IE7, FP 10,0,22,87 
Debug player - FB 3.0.2). Not sure if it will update to 3.0.2 by using the Help 
- Search for Flex Builder Updates which invokes the adobe updates system that 
updates all adobe software (which I find very annoying) or whether you have to 
download a separate updater from Adobe. 

Flash and I believe Flex Builder also include a folder that contains the both 
the debug and release players so that you have both binaries available. But I 
can't say that they aren't always in synch with the latest debug players that 
you can find on Adobe's site if you search for the latest debug players. 

Sincerely 
Mark R. Jonkman

[flexcoders] Re: Violated by Sandbox

2009-04-22 Thread jdizowat

I was still getting the error even though I changed the HTTPService url back to 
src/pods.xml.  

Error #2148: SWF file cannot access local resource data/pods.xml. Only 
local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources.

I fixed this by adding my Flex Builder 3 folder to the flash security trusted 
locations.  This was working yesterday so I'm not sure why I had to do that.

Thanks for the help.

[flexcoders] blazeds and J2EE application

2009-04-22 Thread hworke


 Hello Devs,

 I am working to integrate BlazeDs with an existing J2EE application.
 What I am trying to do is create an administrative flex app where the
 admin can see what changes are happening in the J2EE app. I need
 to call some of the J2EE app APIs to get the data and pass it to the
 Flex application. I believe that I need to write some server side Java
 code and call the API and then connect those Java code with BlazeDs.

 Now my question is how do I integrate Blazeds with an existing J2EE
 app? Please suggest.

No. There are two Types of Flash Player - the standard Flash Player and the 
debug Flash player. Both will have the same version number.

In your case you have version 10.0.22.87 of the standard Flash Player. What you 
want is version 10.0.22.87 of the debug Flash Player.

I don't think I would have done it the way you have (But who am I to tell you

Does it still happen with only one accordion item?

Maybe it's a deferred instantiation problem in the tab navigator. What happens

   solved so we've also posted the question on rent-a-coder.
   
   All of our Flex windows (Application/Canvas/Panel/TitleWindow/etc) work 
   fine individually when running in a browser (Firefox and Internet 
   Explorer). Now we are trying to integrate all of the Windows together 
   (less than 100 in all) and we are observing some pretty bizarre behavior 
   - sometimes a window will load and other times the same window will not 
   load. But the problem is not intermittent - it happens very often and we 
   can usually force a window failure on demand.
   
   When the window does not load we observe the CPU usage in Task Manager 
   hitting the maximum, and we believe that the Flex Application has fallen 
   into an endless race condition in which it is constantly resizing the 
   components within the window (we randomly pause the application and 
   usually find the stack doing something like this). When this happens the 
   window's creationComplete event doesn't trigger and we cannot insert a 
   breakpoint.
   
   We make heavy use of constraintRows and constraintColumns and we are 
   suspicious of them. We use a lot of Accordion's as well as the custom 
   HAccordion from Flexlib, but we've had trouble positively identifying 
   them as the culprit. Each window can get pretty buried in a deep 
   hierarchy of windows, but it is not always the deepest windows that will 
   fail to load.
   
   We've also implemented a suspicious custom component early on to handle 
   system-wide ToolTips. It is old code and does some funky things, but when 
   we commented it out the behavior didn't dramatically improve.
   
   Our testing has been limited to the Debugger Flash Player, but we've 
   tried both debug and release versions of the application.

I'll take a stab at this since I've done both Eclipse and Flex work.

I suggest you read up on ModuleLoader, sub-applications and RSLs.

Basically, one SWF can load another, and you can of course have your
individual applications implement interfaces.

But there's nothing like the Eclipse plug-in config format, extension points
etc. that I know of.

[flexcoders] List sizing - height=100%

2009-04-22 Thread arieljake

I am trying, in MXML, to size a list to 100% of its container, but when I do, 
it only shows 2 rows. It is using a custom item renderer. I tried setting a 
rowHeight as well but still doesn't size right. I also set an explicitHeight in 
the item renderer itself. Nothing.

In a fixed size layout, i can set the rowcount but I want it to be fluid in 
case the user resizes the window.

Anyone know why a list wouldn't size by percent to fill a parent container?

[flexcoders] RegEx string via cell ItemRenderer to colorize specific characters or a better method?


Hi All,

   Here's a fun one!

   I have a column in an ADG, and the cells can contain a variety of 
data including: 


   16223T,16290T,16319A,16362C,16524G
  or
   73G,249-,263G,290-,291-,309.1C,315.1C,489C,493G,522-,523-

   What I need to do is for each of the letters (there's four possible 
- A,T,C,G) I need to be able to change the font color specific to each 
letter...i.e. all the A's need to be green, the C's need to be blue, 
the G's need to be black and the T's need to be red.


   As I've been thinking about it, I figure I'm going to have to use a 
custom itemRenderer for the cell to manipulate the data to begin with.  
But within the renderer, I'm quasi-stuck.  I figure the simplest way to 
ID the letters is to RegExp the data...then possibly using a switch/case 
to set the colors for the letters...but not sure how to affect just the 
individual letters in the overall string and then return that with the 
cell's renderer??


   Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks!

A date object has a .time property, The number of milliseconds since

Just take the end date and see if the time property is greater than the
start date.

quick example:
var startDate:Date = new Date();
var endDate:Date = new Date();

if(startDate.time  endDate.time) {
trace(start is after end);
} else if (startDate.time  endDate.time) {
trace(start is before end);
} else {
trace(the dates are the same);

[flexcoders] Flex 4.0.0.6192 Namespaces

2009-04-22 Thread Baz

(I originally posted this on flexcomponents by mistake, sorry for
cross-posting!)

I've been playing around with Flex 4 (build 6192) and it seems that the
namespaces have changed a lot since previous builds. I only say this because
none of the examples online seem to work. After lots of mucking around, I
was able to get the following test application with these namespaces to run:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
fx:Application
xmlns=http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009;
xmlns:fx=library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark
xmlns:mx=library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo

mx:VBox
fx:Button label=Gumbo Button/
mx:Button label=Halo Button /

   fx:ButtonBar id=orangeToggleBar requiresSelection=true
fx:dataProvider
fx:ArrayCollection source=[Flash, Director, Catalyst,
ColdFusion] /
/fx:dataProvider
/fx:ButtonBar
/mx:VBox
/fx:Application

The FX namespace pointing to spark doesn't seem to be right, shouldn't it be
SP or S with FX as a separate space? Also, what about the
ns.adobe.com/flex/GUMBO library, is that gone? I saw it a lot online but I
think it may have been combined into the main (unnamed) namespace.

Thoughts?

[flexcoders] FileStream.truncate() doesnt work after calling FileStream.readUTFBytes()

2009-04-22 Thread skuteboarding

Hi,

I'm trying to read an xml file into memory, add a node, then write over the 
original file.

The following code works just fine (it clears the file, then writes the new 
bytes over the top):

var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(file, FileMode.UPDATE);
stream.position = 0;
stream.truncate();
stream.writeUTFBytes(?xml version=\1.0\ encoding=\UTF-8\?);
stream.writeUTFBytes(File.lineEnding);
stream.writeUTFBytes(xml.toXMLString());
stream.close();

However, if I attempt to perform a read after the file has opened, the position 
/ truncate calls don't work:

var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(file, FileMode.UPDATE);

var xml:XML = XML(stream.readUTFBytes(stream.bytesAvailable));

// Modify xml here

stream.position = 0;
stream.truncate();
stream.writeUTFBytes(?xml version=\1.0\ encoding=\UTF-8\?);
stream.writeUTFBytes(File.lineEnding);
stream.writeUTFBytes(xml.toXMLString());
stream.close();

Does anyone have any ideas why this doesn't work?

If you examine the stream, in the first code, after the call to truncate(), the 
bytesAvailable property will read 0. But in the second code, the bytesAvailable 
won't change (it will show the current file size).

Any ideas?

Any object in the module listening to a shared model in the main app is a

Hopefully you used weak reference listeners there.

The profiler should be able to tell you what is holding onto your module.

Thanks Pedro,

In my AIR app, the user can logout and login, with the available modules being 
tied to their profile. If I were to shut the app down on logout, all my 
problems would be solvied, because we'd be starting from scratch.  But that 
seems less than terrific user experience so I'm trying to hit the holy grail of 
all modules unloaded on logout, with the app still running.

Problem is, of course, that when something prevents the module unload, the app 
springs a memory leak.   I had thought that injecting the model into the module 
was the solution, by creating an interface for modules. This was based upon a 
presentation by Borre Wessel 
(http://blogs.adobe.com/borre/Modularizing_Flex_Cairngorm_and_Modules.pdf).  
However, I must not be following his advice in some fashion, because what I'm 
doing isn't working.  My module's model needs to be strongly typed in order to 
set up the necessary bindings between the model and the components, but the 
interface to inject the model would be via interface.  The question becomes 
exactly how do you update the model when you retrieve data via Delegate?  I 
have tried passing a weak reference to the module's model in my Caringorm event 
classes and then casting it as the strong typed local version the module 
requires, but no dice so far.

Cairngorm events.  I'm kind of hacking my way through this.

Driving me crazy, though.  Shouldn't be rocket science to unload a freakin' 
module.

Hi Jeff,

Do your renderers have some reference to module data?

How are your grid and your module related?

I think we need more info to help you.

I'm using the profiler to get handle on what's causing a given module to

Specifically when the data grid is unpopulated, I can successfully
unload the module. When it is populated, it won't. I have the datagrid
bound to a local model object. It appears that as soon as the datagrid
has children, the module won't unload completely.

There must be some reference that the datagrid has that is causing this
- I am using some custom item renderers/editors. Any advice greatly
appreciated.

[flexcoders] Drive Letters and Ant

2009-04-22 Thread cuttenv

So I have my Eclipse and Flex builder installed on my C: drive but all of my 
projects in my workspace on D: 

Everything works fine but when I set the fork=true in my mxmlc to increase the 
memory my Ant build fails with: 
[mxmlc] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: flex2/tools/Compiler 
[mxmlc] Exception in thread main 



Anyone have any thoughts??

RE: [flexcoders] Re: RegEx string via cell ItemRenderer to colorize specific characters or a better method?

I suggest  that you use a labelFunction feeding a renderer that uses
htmlText.  The label function would simply parse the strings to get the
letters,  and wrap them in a Font tag specifying the color.  This would be
very easy.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: RegEx string via cell ItemRenderer to colorize specific characters or a better method?


Hi Tracy,

   This is an interesting idea...but you have me at a bit of a 
lossI was already heading down part of the same path you laid out 
here...here is my renderer code thus far:


First, the column from my ADG:
mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn id=groupedHVR1 dataField=Hvr1M 
headerText=HVR1 Mutations headerWordWrap=true textAlign=left 
wordWrap=true editable=false width=100 showDataTips=true 
itemRenderer=renderers.GeneralRenderers.AminoAcidRenderer /



now the AminoAcidRenderer.mxml:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Label xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; 
implements=mx.core.IFactory truncateToFit=true

   width=100% height=100% paddingLeft=2 paddingRight=2
   mx:Script
   ![CDATA[
   import mx.utils.ObjectProxy;
  
   override public function set text(value:String):void

   {
   if (value != null  value !=value != )
   {
   value = String(value.replace(G,'font 
color=blackG/font'));
   value = String(value.replace(A,'font 
color=greenA/font'));
   value = String(value.replace(T,'font 
color=redT/font'));
   value = String(value.replace(C,'font 
color=blueC/font'));
  
   super.htmlText = value;

   }
   else
   {
   super.htmlText = value;
   }   
   }
  
   public function newInstance():*

   {
   return new AminoAcidRenderer();
   }
   ]]
   /mx:Script
/mx:Label

   But, alas, there are a couple of problems here. First, the 
string.replace() only affects the first occurrence of the pattern and 
not every occurrence (I wonder if a regex would remedy that?).  Then 
although the substitution gets done for those patterns that are found, 
the htmlText isn't getting rendered...and I wonder if it's due to the 
function set text instead of function set htmlText, which I tried and 
literally got nothing.


   I've also looked at the TextRange that someone else suggested but 
not sure how to possibly use that as it needs a begin/end index and the 
letters are sporadic from one string to the next.


   How would I setup the labelFunction to parse the string to get the 
letters?


Thanks in advance!
Adrian

With RSL you either load quicker (win) or have to download app+RSL

I think you are looking at it wrong. Assuming 200k is nothing on a modern

With RSL you either load quicker (win) or have to download app+RSL (same as
non-RSL), plus you have the benefit of making your (and others !) future RSL

It help me control the date I want to expire and don't care about clock of user

[flexcoders] Web-based application to access local files

2009-04-22 Thread jose2250

I recently developed a Desktop Application using Visual Basic 2008 Express .Net 
3.5. It works ok. Application will look for .pdf files on a specific folder on 
C: drive, rename the files according to some user's input and database query 
result, then upload the renamed files to an FTP server. No problem. However, 
the company don't want a desktop application. So, my goal is to re-create the 
application using a new Rich Internet Application technology. I then, created a 
Windows User Control in VB.net 3.5 and embedded the .dll in an html page. This 
works great on my local development pc, however, it will have some security 
issues when I try to run it on our intranet. It seems like the control 
(Activex), will not allow access to the local files. I just need access to be 
able to rename files on C:, that's it. Then I came across Silverligt and Flex 
development software. But, after playing with flex for a little, noticed that 
Flex will not be my best choice to access and rename local files, is that 
right? Any suggestions about the technology that we should use? Thanks!

[flexcoders] Initialization Order - External Data

2009-04-22 Thread ericmaslowski

Hello,
  I'm building a Flex app and it's been going fairly well. However, I've run 
into a problem when trying to load data from an external source (simple TXT 
file for now). I can't seem to control when a particular function is called. 

What I have is a series of components that are filled with images when the 
application starts. I want the list of images to come from a txt file (no 
problem with URLLoader). What I'm finding out is that the other functions in my 
init routine are called before I finish reading in the file.

For example, I have a routine called from creationComplete.

function onStart():void
{
  initDatabase();
  initComponents();
}

in the case above, initComponents() is called before initDatabase finishes 
and I get a bunch of broken image links. Any advice on how I can guarantee the 
above executes in order? Is there any way I can force Flex to operate in a very 
linear manner (at least for initialization)? 

Thanks!

[flexcoders] difference between stage and application?

2009-04-22 Thread michaeljonknight

Hello,

I am somewhat new to flex.  We are working on a project that uses an exported 
swc from Flash and running into some problems getting everything we want to 
show up layered correctly.

I want to add a menu bar (mx.controls.MenuBar) on top of some content from the 
flash swc (flash.display.Sprite).  I can only get the menu bar to show up if I 
call application.addChild and the sprite to show up if I call 
application.stage.addChild.  But the menu bar popups are behind the sprite.   

I don't really understand the difference between the application and the stage 
either.  Can anyone help?  And is there an established way to work with 
mx.controls and flash.display.sprite data?

thanks in advance,
madmik3

An additional consideration there is what happens if the user is
offline? It might be that your app can't be used offline anyway, so
then it's not an issue.

Re: [flexcoders] Web-based application to access local files

2009-04-22 Thread Sam Lai

The only web-deployed, no-install tools you can use that has access to
the local file system is Java and ActiveX as you have discovered. Both
will throw security warnings, because no web app has unfettered access
to your computer by default, and none should (who knows what kind of
havoc they could wreck if they did).

(You should be able to allow your ActiveX to access the local file
system though because that's how online anti-virus scans work. It will
require user interaction, or maybe the deployment of a Group Policy
change. Not a path I'd go down though given the stigma associated with
ActiveX in the browser.)

Can I ask what their opposition is to a desktop application? Is it
deployment? Because if it is, you could just use ClickOnce deployment
to deploy your .NET app. It will still throw a security warning, but
you can tame it by signing your app (you get a nicer-looking dialog).

(You could rewrite the app using Adobe AIR and deploy using that, but
there's no real advantage in your situation, unless cross-platform is
a requirement.)

 AFAIK no - They give you enough to get going but any further is up to your

 console for code generation.
 
 In my case, I did not use any of the examples or code generation - I just

I too will follow the same, to begin with I will generate code with

 public function newInstance():*

 /mx:Label

 But, alas, there are a couple of problems here. First, the
 string.replace() only affects the first occurrence of the pattern and
 not every occurrence (I wonder if a regex would remedy that?). Then
 although the substitution gets done for those patterns that are found,
 the htmlText isn't getting rendered...and I wonder if it's due to the
 function set text instead of function set htmlText, which I tried and
 literally got nothing.

 I've also looked at the TextRange that someone else suggested but
 not sure how to possibly use that as it needs a begin/end index and
the
 letters are sporadic from one string to the next.

 How would I setup the labelFunction to parse the string to get the
 letters?

 Thanks in advance!

[flexcoders] Test various Flash Player version

2009-04-22 Thread itdanny2002

Is there a way to test various flash player 
version in Flex Builder ? Some of our computers
is locked and won't change flash player version
in short period of time. Anyhow, some can use
latest version. How can I set my computer so that
I can test both ? Or, I just set a lower version
e.g. 7. Then, it works.

Thank you

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flash player 10 Debug not recognized in FB3

2009-04-22 Thread Ju Aedis

I have the same problem as Merrill Jason's in the Flex Builder 3.0.2.
I uninstall flashplayer(version 10), then install flashplayer version 9(I
want to  test project bug in this version),
then uninstall flashplayer(version 9), last I install flashplayer(version
10).
All the flashplayer is debug version.
When I go to debug app in Flexbuilder, it says the same error too.


2009/4/23 Nate Beck n...@tldstudio.com



 This happens to me all the time whenever I upgrade to a new version of
 the flash player because a site says I need it.  And I forget that I need
 the debug version.

 You need to go to the
 http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html page and pick out
 the debug player. Adobe Flash Player 10 — Debugger Versions (aka debug
 players or content debuggers)

 If you're a flash / flex developer, you never install using the same
 installer that installs the standard version

 No. There are two Types of Flash Player - the standard Flash Player and

 In your case you have version 10.0.22.87 of the standard Flash Player.
 What you want is version 10.0.22.87 of the debug Flash Player.

 Go to http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html to find the
 correct download.

  OK, thanks, but not really sure what that means or what to do with that
 information. Do you mean I have both the normal Flash player 10 installed
 as well as the debugger version of Flash 10? I have run the adobe
 uninstaller and then re-installed with no luck.

[flexcoders] How to get ellipsis on truncateToFit for htmlText

2009-04-22 Thread gmoniey22

If you have a label such as:

mx:Label truncateToFit=true text={_myText}/

It will append an ellipsis when/if it truncates the text.

However, if you have the following label:

mx:Label truncateToFit=true htmlText={_myText}/

The ellipsis is gone.

Anyone know how to get it to show up in both instances?

Thanks!

Does anyone know of a tutorial on actionscript and gravity. Not like dropping a

Yes, though I am a bit embarrassed to say so, regex syntax is just too
arcane for my needs.  I need this kind of stuff a few times a year, and just
haven't needed to learn regex.  I use the split/join solution myself.

Hi Adrian,

I came across this function recently, that may suit you needs:

public static function StringReplaceAll( source:String, find:String,
replacement:String ) : String
{
 return source.split( find ).join( replacement );
}

 Hi Tracy,
 
 This is an interesting idea...but you have me at a bit of a 
 lossI was already heading down part of the same path you laid out 
 here...here is my renderer code thus far:
 
 First, the column from my ADG:
 mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn id=groupedHVR1 dataField=Hvr1M 
 headerText=HVR1 Mutations headerWordWrap=true textAlign=left 
 wordWrap=true editable=false width=100 showDataTips=true 
 itemRenderer=renderers.GeneralRenderers.AminoAcidRenderer /
 
 
 now the AminoAcidRenderer.mxml:
 
 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
 mx:Label xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; 
 implements=mx.core.IFactory truncateToFit=true
 width=100% height=100% paddingLeft=2 paddingRight=2
 mx:Script
 ![CDATA[
 import mx.utils.ObjectProxy;
 
 override public function set text(value:String):void
 {
 if (value != null  value !=value != )
 {
 value = String(value.replace(G,'font 
 color=blackG/font'));
 value = String(value.replace(A,'font 
 color=greenA/font'));
 value = String(value.replace(T,'font 
 color=redT/font'));
 value = String(value.replace(C,'font 
 color=blueC/font'));
 
 super.htmlText = value;
 }
 else
 {
 super.htmlText = value;
 } 
 }
 
 public function newInstance():*
 {
 return new AminoAcidRenderer();
 }
 ]]
 /mx:Script
 /mx:Label
 
 But, alas, there are a couple of problems here. First, the 
 string.replace() only affects the first occurrence of the pattern and 
 not every occurrence (I wonder if a regex would remedy that?). Then 
 although the substitution gets done for those patterns that are found, 
 the htmlText isn't getting rendered...and I wonder if it's due to the 
 function set text instead of function set htmlText, which I tried and 
 literally got nothing.
 
 I've also looked at the TextRange that someone else suggested but 
 not sure how to possibly use that as it needs a begin/end index and the 
 letters are sporadic from one string to the next.
 
 How would I setup the labelFunction to parse the string to get the 
 letters?
 
 Thanks in advance!

RE: [flexcoders] Initialization Order - External Data

*All* external data calls in Flex are asynchronous.  There is no way to
force synchronous behavior.  There in no code blocking. Resistance is
futile.  You must use the result event to organize the calls and any
dependent responses.

 

This is a conceptual hurdle if you are not used to the idea, but is easily
handled when you submit.

 

One hint, all the rpc calls return an AsyncToken.  This dynamic object can
be populated with anything you need to identify a particular result.  I use
simple string properties, and a switch statement in the result handler, but
you can also specify callback functions.

Subject: [flexcoders] Initialization Order - External Data

 






Hello,
I'm building a Flex app and it's been going fairly well. However, I've run
into a problem when trying to load data from an external source (simple TXT
file for now). I can't seem to control when a particular function is called.


What I have is a series of components that are filled with images when the
application starts. I want the list of images to come from a txt file (no
problem with URLLoader). What I'm finding out is that the other functions in
my init routine are called before I finish reading in the file.

For example, I have a routine called from creationComplete.

function onStart():void
{
initDatabase();
initComponents();
}

in the case above, initComponents() is called before initDatabase
finishes and I get a bunch of broken image links. Any advice on how I can
guarantee the above executes in order? Is there any way I can force Flex to
operate in a very linear manner (at least for initialization)? 

Thanks!

2009-04-22 Thread markgoldin_2000

While it seems to me I am missing something obvious I am pretty sertant it is 
somewhere in the send command. I have traced an execution to the point that for 
a low end box it takes about 5 sec. between a send command and an HTTPService 
callback function call. I have timed my server and it does not take time at 
all. I timed the server for both my development computer and a low level box. 
Server time is exactly the same. (what else whould one expect?) But time it

 Is it possible that on low end computers HTTPService.send command would take

 there a way of tracking HTTPService.send command?

If the accessibility classes ever get initialized on Mac, I'd be very 
surprised. Doesn't Capabilities.hasAccessibility return false in all Mac 
Players?

I have previously done a full clean and rebuild, and it made no difference.

The link report from a month ago shows the accessibility classes were being 
included at that time.


I just did a clean and build and generated a link repor! t...it h as entries 
like this:

script name=/Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 
3/sdks/3.1.0/frameworks/libs/framework.swc(mx/accessibility/AccImpl) 
mod=1214927782165 size=3103 optimizedsize=1768
  def id=mx.accessibility:AccImpl /
  pre id=flash.accessibility:AccessibilityImplementation /
  dep id=mx.core:mx_internal /
  dep id=flash.accessibility:Accessibi! lityProperties /
  dep ! id=mx.accessibility:UIComponentAccImpl /
  dep id=mx.core:UIComponent /
  dep id=flash.events:Event /
  dep id=AS3 /
  dep id=flash.accessibility:Accessibility /
/script

But still, no accessibility appears i! n the actual binary.


If I turn it off in the compiler, the link report doesn't have these entries, 
so it's clearly *trying* to include the accessibility features. They just 
aren't working.

This is very frustrating.

Can someone from Adobe please throw me a clue here? Why would -accessible in

As you may have guessed, it has stopped working for me again. The cause is a
