Re: [flexcoders] application.enabled = false when application is communicating with server

Re: [flexcoders] pdf in flash/flex alternative to flexpaper?
Hi, many years ago I successfully converted specific PDFs (they were all created by the same generator and used a fixed set of fonts and drawing primitives) The pipeline consisted of ghostscript to translate the pdf into uncompressed, a perl script to convert the graphic instructions into ming source, and finally the perl version of ming to create swf. The resulting file is made of lines, areas, and static text.. Of course text could be reconstructed with the help of a decompiler, but it is possible to generate the file so that no character / glyph index relation is present The procedure was a bit tedious, and so the next time the same files were requested, I built a solution that hooked into the publication process even before pdf generation Regards Wolfgang

Re: [flexcoders] Equivalent of editorUsesEnterKey in spark
Hmm, that looks like a bug. Feel free to file it. You should be able to call stopPropagation. The code looks like it is listening to the renderer and the TextArea should be a child so if you cancel it before it bubbles up to the renderer it should work. Another option is to track if keydown and keyup and respond to the endItemEditorSession If it is asked during an ENTER key.

How does one do this in Spark? I've diagnosed the editor ending when it receives the keyboard ENTER event into DatagridEditor::editor_keydownHandler. I can't just cancel / stop propagation of the event / modify the event, otherwise the textarea doesn't add the CR. I can't override in some custom version DataGridEditor because editor_keyDownHandler is declared private. The DataGridEditor anyway is instantiated in an mx_internal function in DataGrid.

No, Flashbuilder takes care of all this for you. It takes forever but it cross-compiles over to a native app. All you have to provide are the provisioning profile and cert files which I had and didn't change for what I'm talking about.

Not just the Style Explorer, but the component explorer as well. I'm hoping that this was simply a mistake, and that it wasn't intentionally removed.

Jerry,
I think your issue is the opening brace at line 6 (right after case
Const.ALERT_LIST_RETRIEVED:) and the closing brace at line 32 (right after the
break statement)... the code block for a case statement in ActionScript is
typically not enclosed in braces (perhaps it is even illegal, I'm not sure).
Instead, the code is delimited by the case statement itself and the break.
Either way, your closing brace at line 32 overlaps your break statement at line
31. I suggest removing those two braces or at least moving the closing brace
above the break.

Re: [flexcoders] Frustrations with the profiler - analyzing memory usage.
I have never seen the localconnection hack fail to GC everything, but it has
been over a year since I was last in the profiler, so maybe more recent players
don’t GC everything, but I would be surprised if that was the case. That’s
because the LC hack wasn’t supposed to GC everything, but once we discovered it
did, the FP team felt like they couldn’t change that behavior.
I have seen different player versions cause the profiler to report things as
being around when they aren’t or have it seem like the GC button in the
profiler doesn’t work, but we tend to get that resolved for each new FB
version. Then newer players come along and it seems to go funky again. That’s
why you should make sure you are using the right player for your FB version.
I have never seen weak references not work correctly, so you probably don’t
need to chase paths beyond weak references.
EmbeddedFonts are not leaking per-se. They are sticking around because a
display object that uses embedded fonts is stuck. I usually look for big
things (views/containers/navigators for example). A common workflow for me is
to exercise the app, take a memory snapshot, exercise the app some more, take
another snapshot, sort both snapshots alphabetically, and manually compare the
number of live instances. LoiteringObjects can show you false positives in
some scenarios so I often do manual compares. If the number of big things is
increasing, I look there first. Of course, it could be a child that is stuck
because children reference their parents. And maybe you’ll get lucky and see
that timers or intervals are increasing.

Re: [flexcoders] Frustrations with the profiler - analyzing memory usage.
The true test of a leak is whether your OS’s process manager says that memory consumption keeps going up. Before we had a profiler, we would add code to the app to exercise some sequence (by faking button events, etc), force garbage collection, and report System.totalMemory over and over again and run it overnight. Due to the way Flash manages memory, just manually exercising the sequence a few dozen times may show increasing memory even though there isn’t a leak, although really bad leaks will show up in System.totalMemory or in the OS process manager pretty quickly. Leaky apps will eventualy crash the browser, or just report an endless increase in memory, way past what you would expect for an app of that size and complexity.

If I view it in the profiler object view, it expands saying (1 Path) but won't describe what it is.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Binding using as3
It will be faster if you just hand-code the equivalent of:
[Bindable] private var _y:int
as:
private var __y;
private function get _y():int
{
return __y;
}
private function set _y(value:int):void
{
if (value != __y)
{
__y = value;
dispatchEvent(new Event(“_yChanged”));
}
}
Then whocares() can be coded like this:
private function whocares():void
{
var vtiA:MyTextInput = new MyTextInput;
addEventListener(“_yChanged”, function(e:Event) {vtiA.x =
event.target[“_y”]);
vtiA.x = _y
}

Re: [flexcoders] Compiling and debugging against a remote Coldfusion server
Again, to kind of echo what Brendan said, if this guy can't figure out simple remoting to a Coldfusion server, I would question my choice. Coldfusion is by far the simplest, most plug and play remoting to Flex there is, and there is plenty of documentation available showing you exactly how to do it. The one caveat with working with a remote server is that you need to make sure you configure your channelset if you are setting up your remoting in Actionscript as opposed to using the MXML tag. On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 4:58 PM, Brendan Meutzner bmeutz...@gmail.comwrote: ** Do you have a code repository for the ColdFusion content setup? (ie. Subversion, CVS, TeamSite, etc...) I have never debugged against a remote ColdFusion server, but it looks possible: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusionBuilder/Using/WS0ef8c004658c1089-31c11ef1121cdfd6aa0-7fef.html You'll need to have RDS enabled on your remote server... instructions here if you already have CF installed... I am not sure if you need to have included it during the ColdFusion install, or if you can simply enable after the fact. http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/disabling-enabling-coldfusion-rds-production.html If you have a code repository, then you could check out your central CF code to any development or production machine allowing you to keep that common set of files you desire. Then you can have your development versions of ColdFusion using this code, and allowing you to setup the debug environment locally. To my knowledge, you're not going to be able to run MS Access on the Mac environment, however, that's not a big deal... just host the MS Access content on a remote server, and setup your local CF development version to have a datasource pointing to the remote database. I use Mac for my development environment, and target Windows and Linux production servers. Having the code repository allows me to develop locally with my Mac environment, with local CF, database and Flex content... when I'm ready, I simply synchronize with repository and then do the same on my production versions to get the most up to date code. Setting up the local Mac dev environment with CF and Flex is very straight forward. You use the same services-config.xml, remoting-config.mxml files as you have on the production server to define end points for RemoteObject calls, so everything in seamless when the code hits the server. In your Flex project properties, you target your local version of the services-config.xml file (which sits in the .../Coldfusion8/wwwroot/WEB-INF/flex-config directory locally) and when the application compiles, it uses the defined configuration here. Once it is on the server, you have the same version of the file running on your ColdFusion instance and everything is fine. In short, take the time and make the effort to get a proper development version running, and don't try to develop against remote servers. Regardless of Windows or Mac, you want all of your developers to use remote development environments. I've worked on teams with mixed OS environments like this, and it's possible to do. If you're interested, and have the budget, I can spend a couple hours with you to get the right environment setup. All of the Flex development I've done since 2004 is against ColdFusion backends and I'm more than familiar with it. If you think we can solve this with general questions via this forum, then I'm happy to help here as well... but there's only so much you can solve with generalizations vs. actually seeing your setup and being able to help hands on. I hope this helps a bit, and feel free to continue to ask questions... Brendan On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 3:49 PM, Mark Fuqua m...@availdata.com wrote: be

RE: [flexcoders] Compiling and debugging against a remote Coldfusion server
Thanks for the reply Brendan. However, I think I did a bad job communicating what I was looking for. I can set up the environment locally, but the guy I hired has never used coldfusion or remote objects. I hired him to help with an existing Flex application I did myself (very green). It is running locally, on my dev machine and remotely on two different websites (slightly different code…logos/images/colors etc.). I wanted some help doing some stuff with filtering and sorting listCollectionViews and ArrayCollections…he has never worked with Coldfusion before and setting up Coldfusion is pretty easy, but he has a mac, which I know nothing about…the database is MS ACCESS (I know…) and I was just hoping to avoid getting him to do that and get all the Coldfusion code over to him and get the database working…. Is it possible to just set up the compiler/debugger in Flex builder to use the remote Coldfusion setup I have already? It would seem like that would be a better alternative, especially with more than one person…always compiling and debugging against the same cfc’s and data. I have no real basis for this thought, however, having said that, it would seem I should be able to set this all up for my remote server… do the ColdFusion root (which is the same as my local set up) and WebRoot (which is the same as my local set up) and just somehow change the rootUrl to point to my remote server…and maybe also have to put a cross domain file (can’t remember the right name) on my remote server.

To get the CF debugging setup, you need to define a server instance inside ColdFusion builder and then define your CF project to use that server... you then Run your CF project in Debug mode to kick off the debugging breakpoints you put into the CF code will get caught as the CF content is called and run from your Flex app. Brendan On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 10:43 AM, jmfamp m...@availdata.com wrote: I have hired someone to work on a Flex application.

Re: [flexcoders] Compiling and debugging against a remote Coldfusion server
Do you have a code repository for the ColdFusion content setup? (ie. Subversion, CVS, TeamSite, etc...) I have never debugged against a remote ColdFusion server, but it looks possible: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusionBuilder/Using/WS0ef8c004658c1089-31c11ef1121cdfd6aa0-7fef.html You'll need to have RDS enabled on your remote server... instructions here if you already have CF installed... I am not sure if you need to have included it during the ColdFusion install, or if you can simply enable after the fact. http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/disabling-enabling-coldfusion-rds-production.html If you have a code repository, then you could check out your central CF code to any development or production machine allowing you to keep that common set of files you desire. Then you can have your development versions of ColdFusion using this code, and allowing you to setup the debug environment locally. To my knowledge, you're not going to be able to run MS Access on the Mac environment, however, that's not a big deal... just host the MS Access content on a remote server, and setup your local CF development version to have a datasource pointing to the remote database. I use Mac for my development environment, and target Windows and Linux production servers. Having the code repository allows me to develop locally with my Mac environment, with local CF, database and Flex content... when I'm ready, I simply synchronize with repository and then do the same on my production versions to get the most up to date code. Setting up the local Mac dev environment with CF and Flex is very straight forward. You use the same services-config.xml, remoting-config.mxml files as you have on the production server to define end points for RemoteObject calls, so everything in seamless when the code hits the server. In your Flex project properties, you target your local version of the services-config.xml file (which sits in the .../Coldfusion8/wwwroot/WEB-INF/flex-config directory locally) and when the application compiles, it uses the defined configuration here. Once it is on the server, you have the same version of the file running on your ColdFusion instance and everything is fine. In short, take the time and make the effort to get a proper development version running, and don't try to develop against remote servers. Regardless of Windows or Mac, you want all of your developers to use remote development environments. I've worked on teams with mixed OS environments like this, and it's possible to do. If you're interested, and have the budget, I can spend a couple hours with you to get the right environment setup. All of the Flex development I've done since 2004 is against ColdFusion backends and I'm more than familiar with it. If you think we can solve this with general questions via this forum, then I'm happy to help here as well... but there's only so much you can solve with generalizations vs. actually seeing your setup and being able to help hands on. I hope this helps a bit, and feel free to continue to ask questions... Brendan On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 3:49 PM, Mark Fuqua m...@availdata.com wrote: be

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex alternatives
On desktops/laptops, I will be surprised if you lose the ability to view SWFs. I can’t imagine you are the only person to leverage SWFs in PDF and I would expect major backlash if that was to stop working. But the question for you is, in the future will your customers be using desktop/laptops? In the home, tablets are becoming all the rage. This is also true in some upper executive ranks. Tablets may not support SWF in PDF. There aren’t separate VMs for AIR vs Web. AIR is a delivery package of the same AS VM that you get with the FlashPlayer but with some extensions and the ability to hook into the OS, so I don’t quite know how to answer your questions. Both the current AS VM and AS Next VM use JIT to convert AS byte code to machine code at runtime. For mobile apps you have to pre-process the entire SWF and the AIR runtime into a single machine-dependent package. PDF is using a special player but I think that, even if that player does not stay in sync with Flash Player Next, it doesn’t matter to you. It should still run your content. So, I think the big question is what kind of devices your customers will be using. I think Adobe will support legacy content on desktop/laptops for a long time. -Alex On 12/23/12 10:43 AM, John McCormack j...@easypeasy.co.uk wrote: That is a very interesting diagram showing a way forward for Flex users.

There is no time-bomb in the players that will go off and stop running. Even though ActionScript Next and FlashPlayer Next are not compatibile with ActionScript 3, the AS3 VM will ship in the FlashPlayers that Adobe ships in the future. There is the possibility that the browser vendors will stop supporting plugins, but I would imagine they will keep a compatibility-mode somehow.

There would be too much negative press. That doesn’t mean that new computers with new OS’s may not support Flash (that’s what Apple did with IOS), and many home users may forgo traditional computers for tablets in the future, so keep that in mind as well.

The Apache Flex project is working on a compiler that will translate ActionScript to JavaScript. In addition, the link I posted proposes a component framework that would enable you to build or prototype your app in Flash using FlashBuilder and ActionScript and then run a separate tool outside of FlashBuilder to translate it to JavaScript where it will run and leverage HTML or HTML5 components. Alternatively, the same ActionScript to JavaScript compiler would let you write the script portions of your website as ActionScript using FlashBuilder and have separate HTML files, then use the same separate tool outside of FlashBuilder to translate the ActionScript to JavaScript. And maybe variations will be created that can output to various JS frameworks. At this time, there are no plans to change FlashBuilder to integrate the translation workflow. Adobe’s focus for FlashBuilder is on building ActionScript gaming and premium video projects that run on the Flash player. I suppose if the JS workflow became wildly popular and Adobe could see a revenue stream by supporting such a workflow things might change, but I wouldn’t count on it. There is a better chance that someone in Apache Flex will start creating plugins for Eclipse to support the workflow or one of the other tool vendors will provide an integrated workflow.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex alternatives
Adobe has no plans that I know of to get ActionScript to work with HTML5 in the same way that Google is proposing Dart as an alternative to JavaScript. The Apache Flex project is working on a compiler that will translate ActionScript to JavaScript. In addition, the link I posted proposes a component framework that would enable you to build or prototype your app in Flash using FlashBuilder and ActionScript and then run a separate tool outside of FlashBuilder to translate it to JavaScript where it will run and leverage HTML or HTML5 components. Alternatively, the same ActionScript to JavaScript compiler would let you write the script portions of your website as ActionScript using FlashBuilder and have separate HTML files, then use the same separate tool outside of FlashBuilder to translate the ActionScript to JavaScript. And maybe variations will be created that can output to various JS frameworks. At this time, there are no plans to change FlashBuilder to integrate the translation workflow. Adobe’s focus for FlashBuilder is on building ActionScript gaming and premium video projects that run on the Flash player. I suppose if the JS workflow became wildly popular and Adobe could see a revenue stream by supporting such a workflow things might change, but I wouldn’t count on it. There is a better chance that someone in Apache Flex will start creating plugins for Eclipse to support the workflow or one of the other tool vendors will provide an integrated workflow. The future of ActionScript 3 in Rich Internet Applications (as opposed to ActionScript “Next” as mentioned in the Flash roadmap) is actually being given more attention by Apache Flex than Adobe. If you want to continue to use ActionScript 3 to develop RIAs, I would encourage you to get involved with the Apache Flex project.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex alternatives
Adobe’s focus for FlashBuilder is on building ActionScript gaming and premium video projects that run on the Flash player.

The (baffling) removal of design view in 4.7 puts that impression to the sword, however. I'm not saying it's the wrong way to go - it's after all up to Adobe to choose where to invest their product development. It's in a sense good to know that Adobe has ceded all hope of competing with Google or Microsoft for HTML5 application building - that makes the choices a bit easier.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex alternatives
I’m not sure I understood. These roadmaps are nearly a year old. Folks still thought that Flash Builder was being developed for Rich Internet Apps? I guess we failed again to get the message out. DesignView, as was discussed several times on the Apache Flex mailing list, is tied to specific SDK versions and as such, it was not possible for Adobe to certify DV against Apache Flex versions. Adobe is investing in a whole new set of tools to address new workflows for HTML5 development. If you are near a large city, try to find out when the “Create The Web” tour comes to your city.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex alternatives
Things get lost in translation, but one goal of the parallel frameworks is to not leverage things that get lost in translation. Otherwise, since JS and AS are ECMA-based, the translation works pretty well. Keep in mind that, while Adobe is no longer investing in ActionScript 3 on the Flash Player, and not developing Flash Player for mobile devices, and AIR may not run on all mobile devices, where the FlashPlayer is today, it will likely be there “forever”. So, if alll of your users are using desktops/laptops that have browsers that have Flash, you can continue to use Flex and/or ActionScript 3 to build applications and they will likely run there not just in five years, but even after that. There is no time-bomb in the players that will go off and stop running. Even though ActionScript Next and FlashPlayer Next are not compatibile with ActionScript 3, the AS3 VM will ship in the FlashPlayers that Adobe ships in the future. There is the possibility that the browser vendors will stop supporting plugins, but I would imagine they will keep a compatibility-mode somehow. I think there is too much Flash content out there and to block it from existing desktops/laptops would “break the web” and I don’t expect the browser vendors or Adobe take such a risk. There would be too much negative press. That doesn’t mean that new computers with new OS’s may not support Flash (that’s what Apple did with IOS), and many home users may forgo traditional computers for tablets in the future, so keep that in mind as well. I don’t know the PDF market that well, but again, I would expect PDFs to continue to support Flash “forever” as well. At least for the readers on traditional desktops/laptops.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex alternatives
Hello I recently found an interesting product : http://cappuccino.org which seems to be technically a good alternative for flex (if needed). I have not investigated at all, just had a look. Of course, if even Adobe's flex is not reliable from the perennity point of view, there is no reason why capuccino can be more reliable. And you may invest in it and loose all, just like for flex as tablet browser plugin. I can only hope that one beautiful day, all browser will be 100% html5 compatible (will it be html6 at this time ?) and our developer's anxiety will be solved. (I don't beleive to that too, anyway.)

If you like to use Flex, you may want to find a way to contribute to the Apache Flex project. The main page for the Apache Flex project is currently: http://incubator.apache.org/flex/ but will change if/when we become an official Apache top-level project.

RE: [flexcoders] Checkbox in grid
I guess I'm just not getting it. The datagrid (id=dg2) has a dataProvider.
Each column in the grid is associated with one element in the dataProvider
except for the renderer where the checkbox is. That is in a renderer because
based on other fields it will be either enabled or not.
After a button is pressed, a routine is invoked that will loop through the
dataProvider source to see if the checkbox were clicked. What I don't see is
how to connect the renderer to the dataProvider checkbox field. Any reference
to it causes a can't do that to a null object message.
I added another field to the VO and in the renderer I can change the value of
a Boolean such that it is true if the box were checked. This was done by
adding a change event to the renderer. Since I could change the value of the
field I don't see why I couldn't change the value of the checkbox field.

Re: [flexcoders] Checkbox in grid
Renderers are recycled. There are only enough of them as there are visible
rows. Renderers get re-assigned to different dataprovider items as you
scroll. Therefore, every visible aspect of the renderer should be tied to the
dataprovider item. And that’s why reading back the value from the renderer
won’t work. There isn’t a renderer for off-screen rows.

Re: [flexcoders] Inserting Flex Container to TLF?
UIComponents must be parented by other UIComponents. Now there is a call that sets a virtual parent that you might be able to use to jump over all of the TLF parents to rewire the container into the Flex DOM. We use it in MX containers for scrolling since we put a non-UIComponent between the container and its children so we can clip it. No guarantees that will work though.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: profiling flex applications
You should refactor to use modules. On 11/20/12 2:08 AM, Nitin Gopi nitin.g...@yahoo.co.in wrote: Hi First I tell you what is the present scenario. I have an application which was not created using modules. It was developed years back. Now the application size has grown larger. When we compile it we get a singe swf file which is 5 MB in size. It takes so much time to load on the browser. Its the only swf in the debug folder. The compile time is also much more. Now my task is to do both, reduce the compile time as much as possible and also make it faster on the browser. So far I have done these things 1. I tried to look for loitering objects using flashbuilder profiler tool and found some of them. Then I assigned the objects to null as soon as its job was finished. I couldn't find the weak references. This has reduce memory leaks at many places. 2. Use of setStyle() is not the best way, so for that I used the styles in css. But do not know how much the performance will be improved. 3. We have been using embedded images for each button to show the skins for mouse hover, mouse click operations. This creates unnecessary images in the assets folder. As part of solution I tried to use a skinClass for the buttons. It has styles for mouse over, mouse click operations. One advantage is that we can get rid of all the button images inside the assets folder. But for each button one object of skinClass will be created. Is it a nice idea or I am doing something wrong here? 4. I also tried to put all the css files and images inside separate swc and link it as RSL in the project. It reduces the overall swf size and compile time is also reduced but not sure about the performance, will check it. 5. Is there anything else which I can do to reduce the compile time and increase the performance or if there is anything which I am doing wrong?

For this I am taking the help of flashbuilder profiler tool. Right now I am focusing on reducing the build time of the application. The application is compiled into a single swf file, since modules are not used in the application. Keeping that in view, my task is to reduce the build time of the application. So far I have found that one way to reduce the build time is to separate the assets into a separate swc. Link that swc as RSL and build the project. Does this affect the performance of the application? What are the other ways to reduce the build time of the application? I have one more question. In our project we are using embedded images for the buttons. One is the default image and one image for mouse down. So 2 images for each button. This increases the no. of images in the assets folder. I tried to use a custom skin for all the buttons. This reduces the no. of assets but when I run the flashbuilder profiler it shows no. of objects for the skinclass used. So if we have say 50 buttons in the application, 50 objects of skinclass will be created. Is this the correct way or I am missing something ?

Re: [flexcoders] windows 8 store app onscreen keyboard invoking
Hi Alex
I'm using Flex SDK 4.5A (problem also occurs on 4.6)
The flash player is version 11.3.372.94 on windows 8 64 bit and as far as I
know IE have gone the same route as flash and rolled their own version of
the flash player inside the browser.
Metro officially supports flash sites that comply with their conditions as
set out here (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/jj193557%28v=vs.85%29.aspx )
Microsoft's official policy on invoking the keyboard is that it must be
under the control of the user and can not be problematically invoked. The
way to invoke the keyboard is one of the following from this page (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465404.aspx ) :
Accessibility properties from UI Automation (UIA)
User tap
Focus changes
from their docs : *UI Automation is the mechanism through which developers
communicate whether or not a particular UI element can receive text input.
You must ensure that the appropriate accessibility properties are set in
your apps so that the touch keyboard will know to appear when focus lands
on a specific UI element.*
*
*
Their own windows provided controls do this automatically otherwise inside
of your html you need to add the following:
div contentEditable=true role=textbox
So that's how it works in html. I haven't found any documentation of help
on forums explaining how they decide when to bring up the keyboard in a
flash situation.
As you suggested I made an AS only site to see what works and what doesn't.
a normal sprite doesn't invoke the keyboard, neither does a sprite with a
mouse click listener. A normal textField doesn't invoke the keyboard but a
textfield with type set to TextFieldType.INPUT does invoke the keyboard
(which makes sense)
So somehow microsoft (I'm guessing) are inside of flash detecting what kind
of component recieved focus and if it's a editable textfield then it does
bring up the keyboard.
The intriguing thing is that for some reason when a spark textInput /
RichEditableText is set to displayAsPassword = true it DOES bring up the
keyboard so perhaps somewhere in the framework setting that flag causes the
component to somehow be perceived as a input component which quite strange
to me since I can't see why setting that condition would make any
difference.
Here's my test code:

stage.quality = StageQuality.HIGH;

Re: [flexcoders] windows 8 store app onscreen keyboard invoking
Are you sure focus went to the sprite? Make sure stage.focus is set and you
got FOCUS_IN and not FOCUS_OUT (and can get keyboard events).
It might be that there is a difference in the UIA in the player. Did you link
in the Flex accessibility code for the Spark components?

Hi Alex
I'm using Flex SDK 4.5A (problem also occurs on 4.6)
The flash player is version 11.3.372.94 on windows 8 64 bit and as far as I
know IE have gone the same route as flash and rolled their own version of the
flash player inside the browser.
Metro officially supports flash sites that comply with their conditions as set
out here (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/jj193557%28v=vs.85%29.aspx )
Microsoft's official policy on invoking the keyboard is that it must be under
the control of the user and can not be problematically invoked. The way to
invoke the keyboard is one of the following from this page (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465404.aspx ) :
Accessibility properties from UI Automation (UIA)
User tap
Focus changes
from their docs : UI Automation is the mechanism through which developers
communicate whether or not a particular UI element can receive text input. You
must ensure that the appropriate accessibility properties are set in your apps
so that the touch keyboard will know to appear when focus lands on a specific
UI element.
Their own windows provided controls do this automatically otherwise inside of
your html you need to add the following:
div contentEditable=true role=textbox
So that's how it works in html. I haven't found any documentation of help on
forums explaining how they decide when to bring up the keyboard in a flash
situation.
As you suggested I made an AS only site to see what works and what doesn't. a

Re: [flexcoders] How To Run An Application With 2 Flex Versions?
See my blog post on Marshall Plan and documentation about MarshallingSupport. It is possible to host an older-versioned component in its own SWF and load it into a newer-versioned app, but there are tradeoffs.

Re: [flexcoders] wrong mac debug fp version???
Make sure you use the correct Adobe uninstaller - some were for specific versions. I had a problem previously because my IDE didn't have the path set to run Firefox and the standalone player ran instead, so check your IDE. Flashlight lets you know which player versions you have available... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashlight-1/?src=api John On 29/08/2012 14:26, Csomák Gábor wrote: Hi! I've downloaded the mac debug flash player. the installer said 11.4, but the installed version (capabilities.version) is 10.3. 183.23. can this happen?? is it occur at anybody else? I even uninstalled Flash Player with Adobe's uninstaller, then reinstalled it, and it is still that way.. Thanks, Gabor
Re: [flexcoders] Need Help - Loader changes the pixel value after loading as bitmap
I’m missing what the other way of loading is and how you are getting its pixels.
On 8/27/12 3:15 AM, RAJ raaj_...@yahoo.com wrote:
Hi all ,
My aim is to load two images and compare its color information pixel by pixel.
For this purpose i used flash.display.Loader class to load the images, and
once load completes i'll typecast the loaded content to bitmap object
(loaderObj.content as Bitmap). Finally i'll get the bitmapdata from the bitmap
of both the images and compare the pixels.
Now the problem is the color information of the original image and the loaded
bitmap is slightly different. For example the color value of pixels of the
attached image image1.jpg is 0xDD for complete 1366x768. And for the same
image when it is loaded as bitmap the color value of pixels are different from
the original value (For some pixels only, not all pixels are different).
I've given the source code below.
Please can anyone help me out how to resolve this issue?

Re: [flexcoders] s:DropDownList selectedItem
Hi,
Can you provide the complete code for the dropDownlist.
In Flex 3.5, I was using a custom Combobox, where I can set the selected
value and also get the value like
mx:combobox id=mycombo selectedItem={myobject.myvalue}/
and mycombo.value will return the selected value.
I need the same functionality in flex 4, dropdownlist,
I have not found any custom dropdownlist in internet, I am not an expert
in flex and looking for a well optimized custom drop down list supporting
the above functionality
So can you please provide me some links, where I can find a one or if you
can share your code..
Thanks
Kannan
Re: [flexcoders] Odd text rendering issue
