[flexcoders] Update AIR application from a local system path.
My Problem is i want to update my AIR application from a local system path, it
can be central download location or a third app which is monitoring the
updates, which downloads the new AIR file to the central location.
I have tried using installFromAIRFile method from the ApplicationUpdaterUI
class to update my application, but no success. I suspect I might be using this
message incorrectly. I have attached below the code snippet what i have tried.
public function updateApplication1():void{
var airFile:File =
File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath(UtilityWizard.air);
_appUpdater = new ApplicationUpdaterUI();
_appUpdater.updateURL = airFile.url;
_appUpdater.addEventListener(UpdateEvent.INITIALIZED,
updateIntializeHandler);
_appUpdater.addEventListener(StatusFileUpdateEvent.FILE_UPDATE_STATUS,
fileUpdateStatusHandler);
_appUpdater.addEventListener(StatusUpdateErrorEvent.UPDATE_ERROR,
updateErrorHandler);
_appUpdater.initialize();
}
private function updateIntializeHandler(e:UpdateEvent):void {
var airFile:File =
File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath(UtilityWizard.air);
_appUpdater.installFromAIRFile(airFile);
}
private function fileUpdateStatusHandler(e:StatusFileUpdateEvent):void{
Alert.show(e.available.toString());
}
private function
updateErrorHandler(e:StatusUpdateErrorEvent):void{
Alert.show(e.text);
}
Please guide me to the correct path, or that is something not possible.
Thanks in advance

[flexcoders] SystemManager and RSL linkage
I am building my flex 3 project using the external RSL support. What confuses me is that when I try to use the SystemManager (and thus import it) my swf increases in size (~250KBs). Why is that? Is not SystemManager included in the RSL? Can somebody explain? Any ideas on what classes are included in the RSL? TIA, Fotis
[flexcoders] Re: BlazeDS + Hibernate: how to not send PersistentMaps to the client?
Hello,
The following article gives the basic idea:
http://famvdploeg.com/blog/2008/08/blazeds-and-hibernate-proxied-objects/
In my case, I used a custom Map implementation, called ExternalMap, that is
used to transfer map data over BlazeDS (so that I can map it to my custom
HashCollection on the client side).
In the HibernatePropertyProxy mentioned in the article, I simply overrode
the following method:
@Override
public Object getInstanceToSerialize(Object instance) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Object instanceToSerialize = null;
if (instance instanceof Map) {
instanceToSerialize = new ExternalMap();
PersistentMap map = (PersistentMap)instance;
for (Object key : map.keySet()) {
((Map)instanceToSerialize).put(key, map.get(key));
}
}
else {
instanceToSerialize = super.getInstanceToSerialize(instance);
}
return instanceToSerialize;
}
Hope this may be useful.
Regards,

Hello,
I am using Flex and the client side, Java + Hibernate on the server, and
BlazeDS to communicate between them.
One typical scenario I am facing is:
- Create a new bean in the Java code, and persist it using Hibernate's
getTemplate().save(myObject)
- Send this object to the client using BlazeDS.
However, if myObject has a Map attribute, Hibernate populates it with a
PersistentMap, thus sending it to the client.
Is there a way I could use to _not_ send PersistentMaps, but rather
standard HashMaps?
Thank you for your help,

Hi Andriy. Thanks, it appears that it was partially my fault. I've miscopied the namespace (missed one letter :) so, that must be just a wrong warning... what it should be telling is that it doesn't know what namespace URI refers to, and not that the class isn't used.

[flexcoders] Resource bundles/ locales?

Re: [flexcoders] Does Flex 4 SDK require Flash Player 10.1?
Calling: isDebugSWF = new Error().getStackTrace().search(/:[0-9]+]$/m) -1; was preventing my swf from loading in the release version of the Flash Player (worked fine in the debug version).

The release player just eats exceptions and stops running code until the next frame. If code that would run later sets up code to run in the next frame, then that code won’t run. There could be a timing dependency if you are loading CSS modules and depending on the styles at startup. There could be a stage-size dependency where the SWF instance doesn’t have its final size until a bit later than you might expect. That can cause some math to go negative and generate an exception. During startup, almost everything is run from callLater as we validate components. I would set UIComponentGlobals.catchCallLaterExceptions=true and listen for “callLaterError” events on the systemManager and if you get one, addChild a TextField to the SystemManager and display the error.

Subject: [flexcoders] Updating Static vars
Hello I've got a situation as follows
1. I have a class called MessageStrings.as that I use for storing static consts
and variables used throughout my project.
2. Recently, we started an affiliate program where I need to make modifications
to the MessageStrings to change company names, email addresses, etc depending
on which affiliate is loading the page (from url string)
3. Instead of copying a bunch of static vars like
public static var CONTACT_US:String = Hello, contact us by phone at: +PHONE;
public static var CONTACT_US_AFFILIATE:String = Hello, contact us by phone at:
+PHONE_AFFILIATE;
and switching all the references I have to MessageStrings for affiliate info I
would like to do
public static var CONTACT_US:String = Hello, contact us by phone at:
+getPhone();
and have a new variable (static var) called THE_AFFILIATE that gets set by a
static function and getPhone returns a static var depending on what
THE_AFFILIATE is set to.
where getPhone is something like this
public static function getPhone():String {
var retPhone:String = ;
switch (THE_AFFILIATE) {
case MY_BUSINESS:
retPhone = SUPPORT_PHONE;
break;
case AFFILIATE:
retPhone = SUPPORT_PHONE_AFFILIATE;
break;
}
return retPhone;
}
So, this almost works, problem is that the class (MessageStrings) sets all the
variables intially and then when I set the Affiliate info later, the static
vars are not updated, and therefore do not reflect the text I want to see.
Is is possible to update all the variables that are affected by a change to the
affiliate? Kinda like calling the constructor again, but that won't work cause
it resets my affiliate variable?

My top level popup, or the one I want on top specifies the parent as the main application and uses APPLICATION childList arg. My small middle layer popup specifies the module as the parent and specifies PARENT as the childList however, when the middle layer popup displayes on top of the top level popup. Should this be working or am I still missing something?

Re: [flexcoders] How to layer popup windows
The Application and all popups are parented by the SystemManager. The SystemManager divides its children into four childlists (application, popup, tooltip, cursor). The Application childlist is the lowest so that children in the popup childlist float over them, tooltips float over the application and popups and cursors float over everything. The popup children probably should’ve been called “floating” or something like that. The PopUpManager always adds a popup over all the other children currently in the childlist specified in addPopUp/createPopUp, so depending on the order and childlist specified, you can get different things at different levels.

Should this be working or am I still missing something? Not sure if it makes a difference, but the actual code for displaying the popups is in the main application and it is being called from the module.

My module displays a popup window who's parent is the main application that covers the entire UI. Unfortunately, while this popup is displayed certain events occur in the module that it handles by displaying some small notification popups over UI components that are hidden by the big popup window, however the notification popups layer over the big popup. In reading the PopupManager docs I thought by simply assigning the module as the parent of my notification popups would resolve the issue by adding the popups to the module layer and not the top application layer, but it is not working and I am not sure if this is supported with the parent argument to addPopUp or I am doing something wrong. Does anyone know how I can show popups in different layers per say? Any help much appreciated. Greg -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe System, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui
[flexcoders] Error #2063: Error attempting to execute IME command anyone?
Hi,
I am getting this error and I cannot seem to find why. I googled for it but
couldn't find anything useful to get rid of it. Has anyone encountered this?

Re: [flexcoders] Error #2063: Error attempting to execute IME command anyone?
This seems to be for an unexpected error in the IME OS library. Which version
of Windows? Which IME is installed? Which Browser and Player Version? Is it
only one one system or everywhere you try it?
Anything else unusual? Are you running an automated test where the app is not
the active window? Is there some other app that might be fighting for control
of the IME?

[flexcoders] Folder-style dragOver highlight on tree
I'm maintaining some code which has a dragEnter handler which sets selectedIndex in order to highlight the destination tree node Can anyone point me at some sample code to do this, or a public method to highlight the item without selecting it? The showDropFeedback method draws a line between items, which is not the desired effect. Thanks.

[flexcoders] Forcing the TreeIterRenderer to Render a Node
Hi All, I have a Custom TreeItemRenderer where i have couple of Images and a label. When i updated the data structure which is used for rendering the Node it doesn't refresh the Images properly. I tried calling invalidate() and updateDataList() after refreshing the dataProvider with no luck. Is there any other way of forcing the Renderer to apply the changes ?? Thanks
[flexcoders] Re: Take that Mr Jobs!
Hi Brendan, No, export release does not work in FB4. At least in the project with RSL libraries. I didn't have time to fully isolate the problem and check the single project release, then without RSLs, etc, but it seems that newly added properties are killing export release. I am glad we have not bought FB4 yet, as it is not suitable for production yet. PS Why do you need it anyway?

It sounds like you ported it to FB4, back to FB3, reverted the properties file and it worked? Did you ever get the release build to work in FB4?

It looks like that the new properties in .actionscript file are causing the corruption in projects with libraries. If you open the FB4 project in FB3 (strangely, it does not complain) it won't make the release build as well. If you revert the changes in .* files everything is OK. PS This is a good achievement - the most simple piece of Flex Builder - exporting the release version was always buggy, and now it looks greater than ever. I am looking forward to see what will happen to it in Creative Builder 5. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com, mitek17 mitek17@ wrote: Does the Export Release Version suppose to work in FB4?
