Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flashbuilder 4.0.1 debugger issue?
We've spent hours on this same issue today. We have not updated Flash Builder itself, but after installing the latest debug player, one of our apps also hangs on startup when running with FB debugging and does not hang when running in non-debug mode. I have now reverted to an earlier Flash debug player, 10,0,something, and can debug the app again. It would be great to hear what it is that makes an app hang when run with the latest debugger... -A On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 5:51 PM, Richard Rodseth rrods...@gmail.com wrote: He's also on Flash Player 10.1 and after deleting shared objects used by our splash screen, the app is locking up earlier (i.e. before dismissing the splash screen.

Re: [flexcoders] create class on the fly
There are a number of important techniques for manipulating classes (as detailed in my post http://nodename.com/blog/2008/06/15/upon-reflection/ ), but unfortunately creating a class at runtime is not possible in AS3.

Is there any way to do this? In a nutshell, is there a way to create a class through an Actionscript function, with a for loop where the information that is looped over contains the definitions of the classes loaded from an external source?
[flexcoders] HTTPService POST method weirdness
I make a request to a service using URLLoader and everything works fine. I try the same thing with HTTPService and I get back an error telling me that only POST method is allowed. (My server-side friend tells me that Apache saw it as a GET.) In both cases I am setting the method to POST and sending the exact same data in the request. The service url is an https url. Can that have anything to do with this? -A
Re: [flexcoders] ToggleButtonBar with one or more ComboBoxes instead of buttons: How to build it?
Thanks, I should be more clear. The dataProvider would be like a Tree's, so for example an array where some of the elements are leaves (- buttons in the bar) and some are arrays (- dropdown lists in the bar) (no deeper arrays, and no folder names). I want the user to be able to choose a single leaf item from the set, either by clicking one of the buttons or by choosing an item in one of the dropdown lists. -A On Tue, Dec 30, 2008 at 2:31 AM, Manish Jethani manish.jeth...@gmail.comwrote: On Tue, Dec 30, 2008 at 5:46 AM, Alan Shaw noden...@gmail.comnodename%40gmail.com wrote: Requesting advice on how to get started making this custom component.

All I can say is that you'll have to extend the NavBar class and implement something like a ToggleButtonBar that uses ComboBox as a nav item in a sophisticated way. It's doable. Essentially what you're looking for is a cross between a MenuBar and a ToggleButtonBar, so I would draw inspiration from those two components. Manish -- http://manishjethani.com/

Re: [flexcoders] Run-time loading of library symbols as custom class instances: How?
But these classes are unknown to the library swf, where the symbols are
plain MovieClips.
I was hoping there would be a way to associate each of them on run-time load
with a class in my AS3 project,
just as the Embed directive does at compile time.
If I understand you, that's not possible, and I need to go through the
following steps:
1. remove the classes from the class path of the AS3 project (the top-level
domain)
2. take out the Embed directives
3. add the classes to the Flash9 class path
4. change the linkage properties of each symbol (by making the Base class
property refer to those classes?)
5. Add framework.swc to my AS3 project's library path to make
mx.controls.SWFLoader available to it (or will Loader do?)
And then I can use SWFLoader and the ApplicationDomain as you suggest.
Is that right?
Thanks again.

If you're using Flash CS3 and publish for player 9, then you can simply
use SWFLoader to load the SWF and then make instances of the classes. You

the classes into the top-level application domain

*Subject:* [flexcoders] Run-time loading of library symbols as custom
class instances: How?
I'm working on a pure AS3 project in FlexBuilder 3. All graphical assets
are provided as symbols (with no AS code) in a library swf, exported as this
example: symbol Name: cloud01, Class: cloud01, Base class:
flash.display.MovieClip. The corresponding class looks like this:
package com.my.package
{
[Embed(source=/path/to/library.swf, symbol=cloud01)]
public class Cloud01 extends Cloud
{
public function Cloud01()
{
super();
}
}
}
Most of these ultimately derive from a custom Animation class whose API
allows various manipulations of the playhead.
Since the assets are all embedded, trying out new versions of the
animations requires recompilation. It is desirable to get around that
requirement so the animators themselves, not programmers, can make a new
library swf using the Flash IDE and see the effects. I haven't found
anything that works yet, although there have been hints in the big fat Moock
book (p.795) and in Grant Skinner's blog that it is possible to load these
assets at run time and have them come in as instances of the desired types.
Any help?
Thanks,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Is there a fliping control in Flex
It does not bring in the entire sandy library. It just uses three classes from sandy.util.
