[flexcoders] Re: soap and cookies with webservice
Not sure what you mean by standalone player. to the best of my knowledge flash uses the http connection of the browser so cookies behave the same as in the browser. HOWEVER, if you are trying to add headers manually to the outgoing SOAP requests - that's problematic, from our experience using the flex 3 SOAP it is not possible, as far as I know it's not possible with flash over HTTP POST requests at all.
[flexcoders] Re: soap and cookies with webservice
In a standard browser flash application in a web page, if the server sets a cookie on any http requests, the cookie will be sent back just fine. However you're talking about a desktop app which you probably mean an AIR application so I am not sure, although I guess it should work. The test should be easy - make any http call from one of the air applications to a server that sets a cookie and see if it is sent back. We'll be happy to hear the results...
[flexcoders] The logic of Stage.fullScreenSourceRect property
I wonder if someone can explain me the logic of this property. I understand it marks the rect for scaling in full screen but why is it related to HW scaling? I mean isn't it one property doing two tasks? When you chose the whole stage rectangle, is it supposed to behave the same as if you did not use this property at all just with the graphic card doing the work instead of software? The reason I am asking is because we put overlays on video and when this property is used our overlays get scaled as well, when it's not used they don't and I don't really understand why - shouldn't this problem appear anyway whoever does the scaling? Thanks in advance for explanations... GT
[flexcoders] Re: Any suggestion for server (java) side run-time styling solution?
Read the documentation here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=styles_10.html End of first section: You cannot load an uncompiled CSS file into your Flex application at run time. You must compile it into a SWF file before loading it Obviously we can load the CSS and programatically set the style where needed but this is not a generic solution. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tim Rowe tim.r...@... wrote: I'm a bit puzzled that you mention the need to compile in changes. Surely a SWF can load in an external css file? If so, could the swf not typically be made to access a CSS file (via whatever method) specifically for that user via their credentials, or via a token? This would allow run-time loading, and the ability to store, modify and retrieve it however you like on the server-side.

Hi, We read the documentation about loading styles from out side but unfortunately they all discuss loading swf compiled files. While it is possible to let an editor edit the style on the server and then run the compiler on the server to generate a swf file, it looks like redundant complexity. The server is a cluster and it'll require additional set-up for every server. Does anyone have a different solution?

[flexcoders] shared object domain in sub application
Hi, Is there a way to have the shared object in a sub-application use the domain of the loaded sub-application and not the one of the loading application? The scenario is application A is loaded from A.com app B is loaded from B.com Both A and B load sub application SWF C from C.com However, we want C to have access to the same shared object whether loaded from A or from B. So far we see that it always use the domain of the loading app. Tnx
[flexcoders] Is there a good log application?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can point me to an easy to use logging application? Looks like Flex used to have one called MiniDebug but it's deprecated. My problem is that my testers have many difficulties configuring the flash debugger and the flashlog.txt (permissions on vista and other issues), I think something that uses LocalConnection or some JavaScript Target could do the job. Note - I need something that is supported on multiple environments not just firebug on firefox. Tnx Guy

[flexcoders] Localization problem compiling .properties resource into swf
Hello, I have a .properties file put under src/locale/en_US I changed the compiler arguments to: -locale=en_US -allow-source-path-overlap=true -source-path=locale/en_US Now the strange thing - I have 2 applications in this project.

[flexcoders] Problem calling a web service - error 2032
Hello, I've been struggling half a day with this Error 2032 returning from one of the APIs in my webservice. This API already worked and somehow after regenerating the proxies it stopped! Finally I figured out the only difference between this API and the others that work is that this one gets no parameters... crazy as it sounds when I added a parameter to the API and regenerated the classes everything began to work... Does anyone have an explanation? or do I have to leave this ugly dummy and mark it as another bug in the generated classes implementation... Anyway - at least maybe this will save others the fight.

Yep, this error doesn't give any info... I took a look at the server side, apparently the server (Java xFire) was throwing an error There must be a method name element.. I'm stopping the digging here since I have a work around - adding a dummy parameter to the method and avoiding a web service method with no parameters works around this annoying bug. I must say that this together with other bugs I encountered with Flex webservices makes me wonder if this is a mature technology...

In my case, It turned out to be the simple fact that I copied over the wrong (buggy) file to my server thanks to the way that flexbuilder caches source code to my local host. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, guy.tomer guy.tomer@ wrote: Hello, I've been struggling half a day with this Error 2032 returning from one of the APIs in my webservice.
