Re: Still problems using the installer

[Josh Tynjala]

I don't know exactly what is planned for the Flex SDK Installer. However,
for the Feathers SDK Manager, I'm waiting on Adobe to release a stable
build of AIR that supports 64-bit Windows captive runtime. They had a beta
on Adobe Labs, but I'm not sure when they plan to release a stable version.

For those who are not aware why this error happens, here's the gist: The
file size of the AIR 25 SDK is significantly larger than previous SDKs, and
a 32-bit version of AIR can't allocate enough memory to properly download
it and unzip it. 64-bit apps are able to allocate more memory, so this
error will not happen with a 64-bit version of AIR.

Hypothetically, some of the code in the installer, and the unzip library it
uses, could probably be rewritten to use URLStream and FileStream to load
only a small portion of the file into memory at a time. I'm not familiar
enough with the zip file format to tackle that part, but if Adobe takes
much longer on 64-bit Windows support, I guess I'll have no choice but to
dig in and figure it out. Unfortunately, I also haven't been able to
reproduce this issue in my Windows VM, so that's going to be a challenge.

Thanks for this info, it is very valuable. It got me to the cause of the
problem. The problem is in spark.components.GridColumnHeaderGroup, in there
is a function mouseEventHeaderView which is called to determine which column
was touched. In there a function containsMouseEvent is called on the
spark.components.gridClasses/GridColumnHeaderView. In that function we find
the following code:

 public function containsMouseEvent(event:MouseEvent):Boolean
{
const eventStageX:Number = event.stageX;
const eventStageY:Number = event.stageY;
const origin:Point = localToGlobal(zeroPoint);

origin.x += horizontalScrollPosition;
if (layoutDirection == LayoutDirection.RTL)
origin.x -= width;

origin.y += verticalScrollPosition;

return (eventStageX >= origin.x) && (eventStageY >= origin.y) && 
(eventStageX < (origin.x + width)) && (eventStageY < (origin.y +
height));
}   

The problem is that width is half the size as it should be. Now I am trying
to find the cause why this is an incorrect value and hope I find a fix. Any
help appreciated!

Re: Datagrid Sorting Problem on Mobile

I'm having the exact same issue and it is driving me nuts! For me it is the
first 4 columns that are working but the others are not. Did you ever find a
solution to this problem?
