[flexcoders] Flex XML editor
Hi everyone, I want to create an editor for XML files in Flex. Does anyone know if there are already existing projects (open-source) that implement this ? I could not find anything (excepted commercial apps), but I guess someone already had the need to do that :) Cheers
[flexcoders] Re: Does the Embed metatag still work in the latest versions of the SDK?
Using Flex Builder 3 I had to add the leading slash to Embeds when using Ant as
well. I'm pretty sure one of the previous posters is right: it's all about the
paths and FB does some magic behind the scenes (adds a leading slash perhaps?)
that Ant doesn't.

I had the problem which prevented ant from seeing the asset files, and that
was fixed by adding a slash to the front of the asset path. That problem
caused a compile error. This error only happens at run-time and only after
compiling with recent builds using ant. I also tried using flex tasks and it
produced the same runtime errors. It all works perfectly when I compile
using flex_sdk_4.0.0.7219, with ant or otherwise.

I had this problem once and it turns out that when you are using Flex
builder it does some magic to the build path. This does not happen when
you build with ant and I had to move some files around so that mxmlc could
find everything. I believe that mxmlc can only see the src path and its sub
directories, someone correct me if I am wrong.

Hi,
I am embedding a graphic at compile using the Embed metatag in an AS3
project using Flash Builder 4. It compiles in both Beta 1 (build
4.0.0.7219) and Beta 2 (Flex 4-Beta 2 4.0.0.10485) - but in beta 2 it
throw runtime errors.
Here is how I embed:[Embed(source='/image_assets/ui/arrow.gif')] //the
first slash is necessary for the compilerprivate static var Arrow:Class;
Here is how I use the asset:new Scrollbar.Arrow() // as a Bitmap
This is the runtime error I get after compiling with no errors in
4.0.0.10485 and later:VerifyError: Error #1014: Class
mx.core::BitmapAsset could not be found.ReferenceError: Error #1065:
Variable Scrollbar_Arrow is not defined.
Has the method for embedding assets changed in an Actionscript project?
Or am I missing something? likely!

[flexcoders] Flex performance problem, pure MVC, AIR
I made Image Browser application. User can select any number of images and browse them in application. I use Flex SDK 3.4 AIR framework Pure MVC Framework Main screen contains big container for images and one container that preview same images just smaller (thumbnails). For thumbs I used TileList controll with Simple Image item renderer. Each image is represented like PImage class value object that contains image ID and path. When user select images that want to browse all images (PImage) are stored in ArrayCollection. Problem: When I select big number of images 50...200 or more and scroll in thumbnail container left-right I feel bad performance. User want to have smooth scroll but it's slow. I turned on live scroll on that container but still it's slow. Is there any other way to solve this performance issue? PS Images must be storred in that ArrayCollection.

[flexcoders] Re: Help me name this eclipse feature so I can log a bug
I was referring to the mac keyboard shortcuts. The ones you pointed out are correct, but the behavior still isn't what I want- the cursor moves further than it should when doing ctr-left/right / alt-left/right. It should stop at periods, not just at spaces, parentheses, and quotes. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, primo411 primo...@... wrote: I don't think this is a bug, I will explain you why: ALT+LEFT/RIGHT is the shortcut for history navigation, ALT+LEFT brings you back to were you were.

Cheers 2009/10/15 dfalling dfall...@... I'm trying to think of the name of this feature so I can log a Jira for it... When using Eclipse with Java, you can use alt/option to move intelligently through code. For example: assuming ^ is your insertion point in Java: Math.floor(^ alt-left Math.^floor( In Flex though, the behavior is different: Math.floor(^ alt-left ^Math.floor( I greatly prefer the Java way- I frequently will copy my selected line with command-option-up/down, then try to alt-arrow over to swap out the function. FB leaves me further away from where I want to be than vanilla Eclipse. Does anyone know how to describe this so I can log another Jira to be ignored? :P Thanks!
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Does the Embed metatag still work in the latest versions of the SDK?
Hi,
I am using a leading slash in the path to the asset:
[Embed(source='/image_assets/ui/arrow.gif')]
Are you talking about a different path somewhere?
The thing is, it does compile, I would think if it couldn't find the class
at compile time then there would be a compile error (which there is when I
don't use a leading slash). But I get a runtime error:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.core::BitmapAsset could not be found.
I have tried explicitly importing BitmapAsset in the code, and using
BitmapAsset as the cast of the instance when I create it, all to no avail.
Can anyone else compile an actionscript project against the latest builds
(Flex 4 Beta 2 and later) using ant, that employs the {Embed] metatag?
I would file a bug - but I am not sure exactly where the bug lies - in the
compiler or the SDK or the player, or indeed if there is actually a bug at
all - perhaps there has been a change in the way the [Embed] metatag works,
or a new compiler instruction, or something .

[flexcoders] Strange DragDrop problem
I have a HBox with two VBox's in. Initial lets say the VBox1 is 300px wide, but I hide same controls and reduce its width to 30. Now I am trying to drag and drop between two grids in VBox2. The problem I am having is I can't drop into a grid if that grid is within 300px of the edge i.e. where the edge of VBox1 was previously. Specifically the drop feedback is indicating can't drop. If I resize VBox1 back to 300px I can then drop into the grid in VBox2 without a problem as its now shifted over. Any thoughts on what the issue is?

[flexcoders] flex air custom chrome html control
Hi everyone, I try to do some air app with custom chrome. I download sample project from web, changed config file to work with air 1.5, put one html control on app to load external htmla and create air file.

When I change transparency setting in config file it does show html page other wise it shows nothing. in custom chrome with transparency it does show pages like youtube and msn which have swf content within but not mine flex generated html page Does anyone have solution for this?

RE: [flexcoders] defining more than one class in a simple .as filem ref
Thank you for you reply. I am coming from .net and Delphi environments. There was pretty easy to have many classes in a single file. For instance, support I have a small class (lets call it Item) with one or two methods that will be used from only one class (lets call it Cart) where will load the Item class several times in an array (the Items array). Now, implementing the Item class I have to create another .as (ok this is not problem) but in practice this class is visible over the package's domain, something not so good. How can I avoid this class to be visible from other object users? Take care Dennis
