Re: Style on custom component isn't being inherited by labels

[Alex Harui]

That was hard to read.  Maybe use pastebin and post a link.  I'm going to guess 
at an answer assuming I've read the code correctly.

I think in Flex, the type-selector will override inheriting behavior.  If you 
don't specify font-family in s|Label, then does it pick it up from the 
BottomControlBar?

I think you can set the styleName property of the Label to the instance of 
BottomControlBar and then the Label will pick up the styles from the bottom 
control bar.

I'm not very good with styles in flex but I'm attempting to add a style to a

In my external style sheet I have the following.

BottomControlBar inherits from Group and has a style defined in its Metadata
tag. Its content contains multiple labels (which are themselves children of
other component such as other Groups). Below is a simplified example of the
structure. The custom component itself has a custom skin class made up of
two Labels. In this example both the Group->HGroup->Label and the
Group->HGroup->custom:Component Labels do not have the styling that I've
declared in my CSS. They do however, have the styling that was applied as
the base Label style via the s|Label selector
s:Group

I have added an override in BottomControlBar and the getStyle method returns
the correct 'openSansRegular' fontFamily and 10 for fontSize so the style is
getting applied to BottomControlBar, it's just not being inherited by it's
children from what I can tell
override public function stylesInitialized():void{   
super.stylesInitialized();trace("BottomControlBar", "stylesInitialized",
getStyle('fontFamily'));trace("BottomControlBar", "stylesInitialized",

I'm unsure how to debug this, could anyone help point me in the right

Re: Porting Flex/AIR to the web

[Alex Harui]

Most (probably all) browsers have caching, but you may not be able to rely on 
your app being cached.

A web app can't do everything a desktop or mobile app can do (and vice-versa), 
so I recommend that you stop to consider what features you actually can deliver 
over the web, then consider how to deliver it.  If your users are only 
temporarily away from their devices, they may not need access to every feature. 
 If they are using a borrowed browser, how will they remember what URL to 
navigate to?  If they are just going to their company's main site to login, the 
main site can redirect them to smaller sub-sections of the app.

Royale (and Flex) support the concept of Modules where portions of the app can 
be downloaded on demand.  A FormManager web app wouldn't have every form in the 
initial download, it would download the form the user chooses.

Thanks for the detailed information Alex. I have never written a web app in

every single time a person wants to toy around with it, it would get quite
expensive for me. Do web apps get cached on a users device so that it
doesn't have to be downloaded with every use? If so, how does it know when
you have made a change to the app that requires it to be downloaded again?

Re: Porting Flex/AIR to the web

[Alex Harui]

Royale was FlexJS.  Royale is aimed at business apps.  Games have not been a 
focus, but if folks want to make Royale support games they are welcome to do so.

I would not bet any money that anyone will produce a 100% compatible version of 
Flex without Flash.  So, I've been recommending that you get used to the idea 
that you will have to do at least some work to get off of Flex-on-Flash.  We 
think Royale is the least work.  Especially compared to a full port of your app 
to a different JS framework.

There are at least 3 distinct workflows in Royale that dictate the amount and 
kind of work you will need to do.  One company (where Harbs and Yishay work) 
rewrote their UI on top of the lightweight component set in order to save 
computation cycles for non-UI stuff.  They had to write code to get the screen 
to look like they wanted, but I believe there were able to reuse the vast 
majority of their business logic.  They went into production over a year ago, 
IIRC.

Carlos recently went into production with a Royale app that uses the Jewel 
component set he developed.  Jewel is not lightweight, but looks great 
out-of-the-box.  So, he (and some others) also rewrote their UI, but also took 
that opportunity to modernize the UI to use newer interaction widgets, which 
might be the right thing for you to do if you think your UI is stale.  But I 
believe they also reused the vast majority of their business logic.

The 3rd workflow is to use the emulation component set.  These components are 
also not lightweight.  The goal of these components is to mimic as many Flex 
APIs as needed as closely as possible.  Slowly but surely, we are migrating 
Tour De Flex to Royale.  Here's a link to the latest nightly build.  
http://apacheroyaleci.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com:8080/job/TourDeFlexMigration/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/examples/mxroyale/tourdeflexmodules/bin/js-debug/index.html
  So far, the migration of Tour De Flex required very little changes to the 
application source code.  At least two companies are in progress with their 
migration using this set.

All parts of Royale are still works-in-progress.  There will still be bugs and 
missing features.  We want folks to try Royale, tell us what isn't working or 
what is needed, and even better, help write the code to fix the bug or produce 
the feature.  If we all get involved now and work together, Royale will mature 
faster than if you wait on the sidelines.  Your best bet is to help each other. 
 If you find and fix a bug in the emulation AdvancedDataGrid or RemoteObject, 
someone else probably saves some time and hopefully will fix a bug in some 
other component and save you time.  There is no company driving the development 
of Royale so waiting mainly shortens the time you will have to migrate.

If you think you don't have the skill set to help, you're probably wrong about 
that.  Some of the work is just setting some padding or margin styles.  But you 
also can try to contract someone to do the work.  I believe there are at least 
a couple of committers who have cycles to help.

Re: AIR 32.0.0.109 BETA out

[Alex Harui]

There isn't too much documentation.  We have an app that checks the sigs:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/MD5Checker+Instruction+Manual

We used to run an hourly job, but recent AIR SDKs became so big that the job 
would run out of memory because the server it runs on has limited memory, so we 
don't run the job anymore.  So these days, I wait until someone complains and 
then run the job locally.  Having more folks willing to run the job would be 
great.

As the wiki article mentions, MD5Checker updates a file on the Apache Flex 
website.  The url is 
http://flex.apache.org/installer/sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml
The source is in Subversion at:  
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/flex/site/trunk/content/installer/sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml

MD5Checker downloads the file and updates it on your computer.  If you submit 
updates as a patch or entire file, hopefully a committer will commit it for 
you, and if you do this often, we'll probably make you a committer and grant 
you rights to commit it yourself.

If you look in the history of the file, you will see where it would include 
beta versions.  I don't remember the format and don't want to take the time to 
go find a revision and document how it worked, but maybe a volunteer can do 
that.  I would trust commits from me that include beta versions.  I think 
others would try on occasion and not quite get it right.

Thanks,

Re: SDK Version Issue for iOS

[Alex Harui]

Does build 103 have both Flex (no compiler) and regular versions (with 
compiler).  You might have better luck with the one without the packaged 
compiler.

In theory, there is also a way to override where the installer pulls the 
builds.  You can create a local.properties file in the new folder the installer 
is given and add properties that override what the installer is using.

Re: SDK Version Issue for iOS

Re: Flash Builder 4.7 Profile on Windows 10

[Alex Harui]

All I have is TraceOutputFileEnable=1

Flash Builder should inject the profiler into mm.cfg and remove it when the 
main swf stops.

If you haven't tried an older browser, I would recommend doing so.  My sources 
keep saying that the browsers are getting more and more restrictive about 
running Flash and maybe the profiler injection trick doesn't work in some 
browsers these days.

We have a very large enterprise application with a small/medium memory leak.
The last time we really profiled the app was when we, as developers, still
all used Windows 7 and it all world swimmingly.

At that time we used a combination of the Flash Builder Profiler and Adobe
Scout. Both gave useful information regarding the leak, but the ultimate
find, last time was through the Flash Builder Profiler.

Fast forward to today. We started using Scout and it's only getting us so
far, so we'd like to use Flash Builder 4.7 Profiler. After much faffing
around I managed to get it compiling again, I can run and debug the
application (we hack the FlashPlayer debug version in to IE which works
perfectly). 

However, when I try to run the Profiler it just fails to connect and times
out. 

Has anyone had any luck using the Profiler in Windows 10?

Re: Flash SDK download failed Feb 2019

[Alex Harui]

I don't know the dates.  I could ask, but even then, I'm not sure I can 
disclose future release dates.

I don't watch for these releases, so when you see one, let us know.  Hopefully 
others will someday learn how to run the utility that creates the checksums so 
they can update the checksum database.  Otherwise you have to wait for me to 
see the email and do the update.  You are welcome to get the sources and run 
the utility yourself and provide a patch or updated database file so other 
committers can respond more quickly.  If you are interested, ask on the dev@ 
list.

It fully depends on abode i would guess but as soon they release that next

It calls each child’s createDeferredContent(). The trick is to figure out 
when to call it on each child. Apparently, calling it on all 9 other tabs at 
once causes so much code to run that it freezes the UI.

Like the magicians I referred to upthread, it is important to know your 
audience. If the user is typing, it is hard to sneak in one second of 
computation. If the user is not typing and moving a mouse, you might be able to 
get away with a one second pause. But if a user makes a query, they might 
expect a pause and if the query is asynchronous, that’s a good time to sneak in 
some computation. And if 90% of the users go to tab 2, that may be the only one 
you need to initialize during the query. And then initialize the other 8 when 
the results come back and the user is pondering the results.

Or maybe they will put up with 9 one-second pauses while they are typing 
and all you have to do is use callLater to “unravel” the loop. Put the iterator 
in a variable, call one createDeferredContent, (and maybe validateNow()) then 
increment the variable and callLater.

It calls each child’s createDeferredContent(). The trick is to figure out 
when to call it on each child. Apparently, calling it on all 9 other tabs at 
once causes so much code to run that it freezes the UI.

Like the magicians I referred to upthread, it is important to know your 
audience. If the user is typing, it is hard to sneak in one second of 
computation. If the user is not typing and moving a mouse, you might be able to 
get away with a one second pause. But if a user makes a query, they might 
expect a pause and if the query is asynchronous, that’s a good time to sneak in 
some computation. And if 90% of the users go to tab 2, that may be the only one 
you need to initialize during the query. And then initialize the other 8 when 
the results come back and the user is pondering the results.

Or maybe they will put up with 9 one-second pauses while they are typing 
and all you have to do is use callLater to “unravel” the loop. Put the iterator 
in a variable, call one createDeferredContent, (and maybe validateNow()) then 
increment the variable and callLater.

loaded the "as" code can start populating various comboBoxes and other

My working hypothesis is flash get's "hung" building all those components

If this is the case, how can I get rid of creationPolicy="all" and once the

to populate them? While this may take a little longer, it would provide a

Re: At least one memory leak problem is a custom combo box I use.

[Alex Harui]

Paul:

OK, good to know you got past one issue.

FWIW, storing callbacks from the module is what I call "reaching down".  The 
main app has effectively reached down into the module and grabbed hold of 
something.  The pattern closest to callbacks is event dispatching and event 
dispatching has the advantage of supporting weak-reference listeners.  You 
could try storing callbacks in weak-reference dictionaries as well if you are 
trying to find a minimal refactor.

I should have been more clear. The validatedCombobox no longer appears to 
keep my test module in memory. By replacing access to the dropdown, and relying 
on invalidateDisplayOptions to synchronize everything seems to work.

I also found something else that appears to be causing a problem, that I 
have started to correct.

This is a fairly complex DB application with hundreds of tables, 30-40 of 
which are generally used to populate combo boxes and other list components. 
These tables are fairly static and up to 15-20 could be used in a single entry 
screen. 

In order to reduce network thrashing between the DB and the client 
computers, I wrote a public function that resides in the parent Application 
called loadComboList. When a request is made for this type of data in memory 
array collections are checked first, if they are null it then queries the DB, 
returns the data to the application to both be stored in globally accessible 
array collections, cloned and sent to the requesting module. If the data is in 
an array collection it is just cloned and sent back to the requesting module. 

The modules handle all this by passing a "call back function" to the 
parentApplication function, which is then stored in a "private var". This 
parentApplication private var never gets cleared so it is a reference to a 
public function in the module causing the module to not be GCed. Not the 
smartest code I ever wrote, (hindsight is 20/20) but it does make things run 
faster, until the memory leak wreaks havoc.

I have started to rewrite this as a class which is instantiated in the 
module, but stores/reads its data in/from the parent application. I have tested 
it with a small live module (one query/combobox) and it seems to work. I am 
converting another 18 queries to test a much larger module, I will keep you 
posted, if you are interested.

You can report on the children in SystemManager.popUpChildren. You can verify 
that the ComboBox's destroyDropdown is being called. And then try to verify 
that dropDown is not accessed after that.

Yes this code does reference the DropDown component. The code is there to 
handle finding items and moving the cursor to the appropriate item.

For example if the data is;

dog
cat
bird

and c-a-t is typed it finds cat and highlights it.

If the data provider changes and the values become;

dog
lizard
cat
bird

the component will still keep cat highlighted.

Given the above as a requirement, how can I clear make the component eligible 
for GC?

Hard to say for sure, but one thing to watch out for with ComboBox is running 
any code that accesses the dropdown property. ComboBox by itself should know 
how to destroy and unhook the dropdown, but if you run code that access 
dropDown after ComboBox thinks it cleaned up, then it will get stuck in memory

Re: How Scroller crop a display object ?

[Alex Harui]

IIRC, no Spark code ever "reads back" the size of display object.  The 
scrollRect's width/height is computed from other properties.  I think Flex in 
general rarely reads back the display object's size if at all since that value 
can contain stuff that isn't desired.  I do recall a one-frame wait on MX 
TextArea to update its scrollbars, but I don't think there were too many others 
if any.

Also, in case it helps, in general, MX components used masks and Spark 
components used scrollRects.

Re: Debugging memory leak in Flex 3.5

[Alex Harui]

Are you calling close() on the NetConnection?

Are there animations in the module?  Or timers?

Is the instance count on RemoteConnection and Responders also going up?

Commenting out code can sometimes help you find the problem.  Comment out the 
NetConnection.call and see if that allows the module to unload.

In step 3, when they click the X and ModuleLoader unloads the module, do 
you see the module unload in the debugger player? I think you would see a line 
like [UnloadSWF] in the debugger console.

In step 4, are the "children" you refer to the child UI widgets of the

One technique you could try is to add code that starts removing the 
children from their parents after the module is loaded. Then you might find 
that removing one particular child causes the problem. Make sure Timers and

Re: Best mxmlc compiler to use for existing application.

[Alex Harui]

Hi Paul,

I think the safest play is to use the compiler in your 3.x SDK.  I believe the 
compiler in Apache Flex releases is from the 4.x code base and you might have 
to change some settings to get it to output 3.x code.  There are almost no 
other differences between the compilers, so using the 3.x version is 
effectively 'the latest".

My 2 cents,

Re: Need Help compiling an old Flex Builder 3 mxml into SWF

[Alex Harui]

In theory, Flash Builder just calls the compiler with options stored in the 
project files.  So, if you have the project files (.actionScriptProperties and 
a few others) you don't need Flash Builder to build your project.  You can just 
use the command-line.  You may have to change some paths and dig some SWCs out 
of Flash Builder's files, but it should work.  And then you will be able to 
build it again someday if the need arises.

If you post the errors you are getting from the command-line, folks can help.

Re: How do I see trace messages from Flex framework classes

[Alex Harui]

I'm not sure I understand the question.  There are very few actual "trace()" 
calls in the Flex framework classes, and there is no way to redirect them.  
They end up in flashlog.txt.

The RPC SWC has Logging support.  I thought there was reasonable good doc on 
how to use the logger for network calls.

If you still get a failure, try one more time, but as soon as the Installer UI

Re: Persisting ContentCache to disk between sessions

[Alex Harui]

Volunteers are welcome to provide a patch that makes ContentCache serializable. 
 IIRC, lots of Flash classes are not serializable, but IExternalizable allows 
you to define custom serialization.

Thanks everyone for your ideas. 

Alex, I already knew how to do the serialization by encoding/decoding, and 
I may go down that path someday, but if FileStream would just serialize a 
ContentCache (seems like a common want), it would have been a quick improvement 
to app responsiveness. 

Having to write my own serializing logic pushes this down on our priorities 
list since improving app responsiveness is more of a "nice to have" and not a 
high priority.

I'm going to drop this idea for now.

Thanks again for your insights, everyone.

Re: Persisting ContentCache to disk between sessions

[Alex Harui]

Hi Erik,

I don't think you can have Flash serialize a Dictionary by passing a Dictionary 
to FileStream.writeObject.  However, you can certainly iterate the Dictionary 
and save everything.  And later, read it all back and repopulate the Dictionary.

Personally, when writing custom serialization, I like storing the length of a 
thing before the actual thing in the data stream.  Makes it easier to 
deserialize.  With BitmapData.encode you should be able to get a ByteArray to 
add to the FileStream.

Feel free to ask more questions if you're not sure how to do it.

-Alex

Hi Alex:

The icons and logos are loaded from a server on startup, and then kept up 
to date via a 20 second polling pattern where the app checks if anything has 
changed on the server. We timestamp all images and when one does change we get 
latest and update the image in the app.

The way a ContentCache is used for BitmapImage and Image is to set the 
loader like this:

public static var imageCache:ImageCache = new ImageCache(); // subclass of 
ContentCache
_image.contentLoader = Model.imageCache;
_image.source = "https/someImageUrl"

When the image is first retrieved from the URL, the ContentCache loader 
will save the image into a Dictionary (key/value pairs) where the key is the 
URL and the value is the bitmapData of the image.

Then when using ItemRenderers, and they get recycled, the when the image 
URL changes, ContentCache will look up the URL in it's Dictionary and if it's 
already been downloaded it will simply display it without having to make an 
HTTP request. 

ContentCache is a very cool thing the Adobe engineers designed into 
Flex/Flash and it makes lists with icons and pictures far more responsive.

What I want to do is persist the cache to disk and load it when the user 
logs in again. If any image have changed since the last time they launched the 
app, the first 20 second poll will indicate a timestamp has changed and the app 
will retrieve images with a timestamp after the one returned when polling. So 
they will always be up to date.

I said the images don't change but that's not actually true, they just 
don't change often, maybe once a week we'll onboard new organizations and 
events with images. 

Embedding images is not an option because every new onboarded entity will 
require a new app build, full regression testing, submission to Apple for 
review and the entire release process. That's a bad business model.

Anyway, there must be a way in FileStream to save a Dictionary with key as 
String and value as ByteArray, but I haven't figured it out yet. Was hoping 
someone else knows how.

Thanks, Alex.

Erik

PS: I know how I can do this, but it's too much work the way I know how, I 
would have to take each cached image, use pngencoder to encode the bitmapData 
(ByteArray) to a PNG and save each image as a separate file. Last count our 
image cache has about 1500 images so that means 1500 files, plus a hash file to 
match the image URL to a generated filename for the image. Loading will then 
require reversing the process. If you've used image encoders in Flash/AIR you 
know they're  pretty slow. If we don't gain any speed, it's not worth the 
effort.

hundreds of companies and they don't change between sessions. 

   Like this (doesn't work though). ImageCache is a subclass of 
ContentCache to get access to the protected cachedData:Dictionary which is 
key/value pairs, with key as URL to image, and value is bitmapData.

   public function saveImageCache(imageCache:ImageCache):void {
  var cacheFile:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory;
  cacheFile = cacheFile.resolvePath(IMAGE_CACHE_FILE_NAME);
  if (cacheFile.exists) {
 cacheFile.deleteFile();
  }
  var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream();
  fileStream.open(cacheFile, FileMode.WRITE);
  fileStream.writeObject(imageCache.getEntries()); // this is a 
Dictionary with byte array for image as value
  fileStream.close();
   }

   The writeObject API of FileStream does not marshal the bitmapData to 
disk. 

   /**
* Loads a persisted image cache from disk.
*
* @return ContentCache
*/
   public function loadImageCache():ImageCache 

Re: Persisting ContentCache to disk between sessions

[Alex Harui]

Erik,

How do the icons and logos get into the cache in the first place?  If they 
don't change, is there any reason not to embed them in the application?

}

The entries variable does populate with all the keys as URLs, but the 
values are null. FileStream won't read just raw binary data in this way.

I don't want to have to save every image using an encoder into separate 
files and then load them all back if I can help it. 

Just seems FileStream should be able to just write a blob of binary data to 
disk and retrieve it "as-is" but it doesn't or I can't find the way.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Re: Detecting window resize complete on AIR native desktop

[Alex Harui]

Hi Erik,

I'm not saying Adobe would make a change to AIR, but they might have an idea 
for a workaround we haven't considered.

It has been a long time since I wrote code for Microsoft Windows apps, but I 
think the default behavior is that a resizable OS window doesn't require 
managing mouse events, just responding to a resize event as well.  There are 
probably ways to get the mouse events and forward them, but the x,y coordinates 
would be outside the stage dimensions.

BTW, did you check if you get a MOUSE_LEAVE event?

To me, this is similar to any animation problem in Flash/AIR.  You are trying 
to hit a particular frame rate, and screen update time is too long.  One 
quick/cheap hack to try is to defer the entire resize update via callLater.  
More sophisticated implementations queue the deferred work and make decisions 
about how to respond when things are in the queue.

HTH,

Thanks, Alex, but spending time optimizing this kludge just isn't worth the

way. 

I could log a feature request on Adobe, but it would never get enough 
votes. Just seems a no-brainer that the AIR runtime should fire a MOUSE_UP 
event to the stage when the user releases the mouse while dragging the chrome, 
or allow accessing the chrome from the app and adding event listeners. Seems 
simple enough. They do it already for resize, why not mouse up?

Thanks.

I'm not sure that AIR will give you mouse events when the mouse is 
interacting with the "chrome" of a Window.  IOW, I don't think the mouse ever 
touched the pixels that represent the SWF content.

You could write a test to see if the resize event interval is dependent on 
how long it takes for your app to respond to a resize event.  Create a 
HelloWorld app that will redraw very quickly and see if you get resize events 
more often.

If AIR can deliver resize events at, say 50ms in a simple app, then you can 
consider making changes to your app to respond to resize more quickly.  You can 
use the performance profilers to see if there are bottlenecks responding to 
resize.  You can also consider deferring certain kinds of work via callLater.

Hi Kyle,

The Flex binary package that the installer uses does not contain a modules

If you want to make changes to the source, get a source package or the repos.

An error #2032 is probably not a checksum problem.  Can you manually download

occasion.

If you can get a copy manually, you can try starting the install and when the 
installer creates the frameworks/libs folder, put the osmf.swc in that folder.

Re: Flex Installer Issue -- invalid file?

Try flushing browser caches.  I think AIR uses some browser APIs on Windows and 
maybe Mac as well.

Re: Apache Installer not working --!! please help

[Alex Harui]

Try clearing your browser cache.  If you are not using Internet Explorer as 
your browser, I would also suggest using Control Panel to clear the IE cache as 
well.

You can right-click and turn on more logging options to see if the right amount 
of bytes are being downloaded.

Re: RichText gets bold in list when item renderer reloaded in Air App

[Alex Harui]

I also just remembered that I've seen a few cases where someone's custom 
renderers manipulate positions and visibility.  Then two renderers are created 
for a data item and one overlays the other.  If the backgrounds are transparent 
(as they usually are) then the text is one top of another copy of the text and 
it looks bold without actually being bold.

Re: Apache Flex SDK Installer version 3.3.2

[Alex Harui]

Hmm, a real crash.  I don't think we've seen that before with swfobject.  Some 
things to try (no need to do all or in this order):

1) Try clearing browser caches, especially for Safari, and also for GitHub and 
org.apache.flex.
2) Start the Installer, then "right-click" to get the popup menu and choose 
"Configure Download Cache".  Turn it on and set the folder to some place you 
like.  Then run the Installer twice more.  The first run should add the Adobe 
AIR SDK to the cache so that on the second run, the way memory is used will be 
different.  Usually these crashes are related to memory issues.
3) Try installing different versions of the AIR Runtime. 
https://get.adobe.com/air/  I'm wondering if some of the changes in AIR 30 are 
involved, so try AIR 29. 
https://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html
4) Start the Installer, then "right-click" to get the popup menu and choose 
Enable Verbose Logging.  Post a link to the output.
5) Start the Installer, then "right-click" to get the popup menu and choose 
both Enable Verbose Logging and Enable Progress Logging .  Post a link to the 
output.

Also, post the version of MacOS you are running and how much memory you have.

Re: Apache Flex SDK Installer version 3.3.2

[Alex Harui]

I think Adobe has reorganized where playerglobal is stored.  I updated the URL 
the installer uses for FP28.  I don't have the time to update the older ones.  
I guess we'll wait until someone complains or someone else has time to update 
the older URLs.  Try 28 if you need it and let us know if it still doesn't 
work.  Make sure it is trying to hit a different URL, otherwise the file we use 
may be stale in a cache somewhere.

Re: Apache Flex SDK Installer version 3.3.2

[Alex Harui]

I think the AIR 30 checksums were out of date.  I updated them.  If it doesn't 
work, post the log.

For AIR 28, can you download from the link via a Browser without error even 
with the double-slash?

Re: Restarting an AIR desktop application

[Alex Harui]

Hi,

Just so we understand, having another 38Mb download is not viable because of 
the time it takes to download it, or something else?

If what your launcher app does is simple enough, you could look into writing 
them as shell and batch scripts or tiny native apps.

Hi Alex, Hi Om,

Thank you both for your answers.

Alex I gave a try to your solution by creating a simple launcher.app

When it's update is complete, the main application open the launcher app
using the "usr/bin/open" command and closed itself, than the launcher.app re
open the main application the same way.

It works great but then I release the launcher.app size is 38 Mb even if
laucher.swf weight only 778 bytes because of the AIR runtime
encapsulation... so this solution is not viable.

Om, I gave a try to the executeFile method you suggest but I get the

Re: Unknown request to crossdomain.xml

[Alex Harui]

Jeff is correct, but to add one additional note:  IIRC, the check for "same 
host" is done by comparing the URLs, not by the underlying IP address, so even 
if your app launches from www.mscloud.com and it maps to 13.66.128.172 and your 
app is configured to hit 13.66.128.172, it will be seen as a different domain 
and crossdomain.xml will be accessed.

Re: App Locks Up On Android

[Alex Harui]

I have not done any debugging on devices or any serious Mobile app work with 
Flex.

Maybe the problem is the app isn't terminating.  If you can attach a debugger 
to the app, then debug how the app terminates as other apps open up.

-Alex

Thanks for the reply Alex. I'm really not sure how to debug it in this
instance. The app never locks up while the app is running, only after I
minimize it and open up other apps like a browser and then come back to the
app, in which case it is locked up. On other tablets, it would usually just
start over from the beginning if you pull it up from the background and
memory has been exhausted for the app. But in the case of debugging, Scout
loses connection once the app loses focus to another app, thus I would not
be able to obtain any real useful information once I minimize the app to
open another. Can you think of any other way that I could debug it locking
up when trying to pull it up from the background?

Thanks.

Nobody else has had a mobile project lock up before? I have no idea if this
matters, but it was a development build that i just quickly pushed onto my
friends inexpensive Android device from Flash Builder. It did not contain
the captive runtime, so AIR had to be installed on his tablet to run. I
don't know if a compiled APK containing the captive runtime will behave any
differently. I have the APK sitting in Google Play, ready to be released,
but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger because because I don't want to put out
an app that is locking up when you reopen it after minimiIng it.  Again, it
has never locked up on the iPad or a Galaxy Tab S, but it does frequently on
his cheaper tablet, but only if you minimize the app, do some other things,
and then reopen the app.

Any thoughts at all would be HIGHLY welcome.

Re: How to force Ant to install the Air SDK without user validation ?

Adobe wants you to acknowledge the terms and conditions for using the AIR SDK, 
so the install script is supposed to stop and insist that you acknowledge it.

What is the scenario where it is important to bypass this acknowledgment?  We 
don't want to encourage folks to bypass it.

Re: Cannot use the installer or build from ant source

[Alex Harui]

Hi,

Timeouts for Installer 3.3.1 is a known issue.  The Installer uses TLS1.0 and 
some servers are no longer supporting that version of TLS.  We will hopefully 
have a fix out shortly.  In the meantime, we recommend getting the binary 
package from http://flex.apache.org/download-binaries.html
Unpack it into a folder, and run:

  ant -f installer.xml

That defaults to using AIR/Flash 29.  If you want 30, use:

  ant -f installer.xml -Dair.sdk.version=30.0 -Dflash.sdk.version=30.0

Regarding your second issue, you may need to set the environment variable:

  JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF8"

Public Facing Flex Apps?

[Alex Harui]

Hi Flex Users,

A colleague who works on the Adobe Flash Player team is looking for any public 
facing Flex apps he can use for testing some new capabilities.  The app must 
meet one of the following requirements:

1)  They’ve allowed cross domain access via CORS (so a page I host locally 
can refer to their SWF’s URL)
2)  All of the media is portable and enumerable, so my HTML is the same 
domain as the media.

Let us know if you have something that meets those requirements.

Thanks in advance,
-Alex

Re: Flex SDK Installer - is it broken?

[Alex Harui]

The Flex community is always looking for new volunteers to help maintain the 
installer and its data files.

Here's a wiki article that attempts to describe the data files.  If you can 
propose changes to the data files for AIR 30, it will be easier for a Flex 
committer to push the changes.  And if you get good at it, we'll probably make 
you a committer so you can push the changes directly.

Thanks,
-Alex

Hey Piotr: 

To date the Apache Flex SDK installer has been invaluable to me and my 
small team as our primary means of installing Flex and AIR SDK updates. 

I agree with your earlier comment that the time spent on updating the 
installer should easily pay for itself in reduced support emails on 
installations. 

However, I also understand it's tough to keep up with releases and it seems 
Adobe has been breaking stuff lately that probably makes it harder for your 
team as well. 

But I (and I'm sure the entire Flex/AIR developer community) appreciate 
your efforts! Thanks for all you do!

Re: Flex SDK Installer - is it broken?

[Alex Harui]

That list looked reasonable.  I just downloaded the tar.gz and extracted the 
files and before running any scripts there were SWCs in frameworks/libs.  If 
you haven't run any scripts yet, see what is in your frameworks/libs.

I think you should run either "ant thirdparty-downloads" or "ant -f 
installer.xml" but maybe not both.

Delete the folder of extracted files. Then extract the binary package and 
before running any scripts post the list of files at the top level.

Subject: Re: Flex SDK Installer - is it broken?

Hi Piotr & All,

I've downloaded and extracted the apache-flex-sdk-4.16.1-bin.tar.gz file
from the page you specified.

As the page suggests, I've run "ant thirdparty-downloads" in the frameworks
subfolder to install optional dependencies. This runs successfully.

When I run "ant -f installer.xml -Dair.sdk.version=29.0
-Dflash.sdk.version=29.0" in the main folder, I get a message that says
that the folder "is not an Flex binary package".

When I look in installer.xml I find this in the 'install' target:










Obviously, it is looking for /frameworks/libs/framework.swc and not finding
it.

When I look in the libs folder the only file I see there is osmf.swc.

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Douglas

Re: Memory Leak

[Alex Harui]

Unfortunately, you can't override event listeners in Flash.  But the framework 
code is theoretically designed to not cause pin modules in memory when used 
"properly".  The ComboBox dropdown probably isn't the culprit here, I was 
mainly using it to illustrate that your clean up code can't clean up everything.

There is another technique to try to figure out what is pinning the module in 
memory.  You can create a module loading test harness.  It loads the module 
using ModuleManager instead of ModuleLoader.  When the module loads, you run 
code that unloads it.  That tests that the module doesn't have any 
initialization code that is a problem.  If it doesn't unload, then you know to 
examine the initialization code in the module.  If it does unload, then you 
enhance the harness to put the module on the display list.  Then once it is on 
the display list, find some way to unload it without interacting with it, maybe 
a timer, or a button elsewhere in the UI.  That tests that the property 
validation code is a factor or not.  And so on.

Another technique I use is to stop in the debugger when the module doesn't 
unload and validate the number of children on the Stage, the 
SystemManager.rawChildren.  Because if something really is still attached at 
that level, that will be a problem.

BTW, are you using embedded fonts or remote classes that are unique to a 
module?  I think they can pin a module.  Anything that registers with a central 
registry.

It is rarely an easy or quick process, but maybe you'll see a pattern after a 
few modules so you will know where to look in the others.

Alex, I took a different but similar approach. I created a small class, and
kept adding stuff to it until it failed. I determined it failed using the
profiler. I did this back in December, but resolving this seems like it will
take a fair amount of dedicated sleuthing. Large blocks of time can be hard
to come by.

So how would you resolve the issue where the drop down event listener is
added to the stage? I assume this is an example of a number of similar
things that can bite me in the butt.

Can I override the event listeners in the stage? If so, how do I determine
which events are pointing to things that I have removed, or am about to
remove?

Is there a way to tell all event listeners to use weak references?

Re: Memory Leak

[Alex Harui]

AIUI, no.  If ValidatedComboBox subclasses mx.controls.ComboBox but doesn't 
override the DropDown, then the dropDown will make itself a child of the Stage 
and may also attach a listener to the Stage (stage.addEventListener).  I don't 
think your code can override the Stage's addEventListener so any cleanup calls 
will not work.   I think you would have to wrap every UIComponent in the 
framework.

I still think using the profiler or commenting out code is your best bet.

I never use combobox directly, I always use "ValidatedCombobox" which has my

addChild(cb); 
trace(cb.dropDown); 

in it, have the overridden event handler as well as the clearEvents code.
Would it not clear all of the events created explicitly as well as
implicitly when clearModuleEvents was call during just prior to unload?

Re: Memory Leak

[Alex Harui]

Hi,

I might be missing something, but AFAICT, even if all of that works perfectly, 
you still don't know if your code has caused some Flex framework code to attach 
a listener to the stage, a Timer, a network class, etc.  IOW, I think you can 
run code like:

import mx.controls.ComboBox;
var cb:ComboBox = new ComboBox();
addChild(cb);
trace(cb.dropDown);

IIRC, simple code like this can pin a module into memory, and your clean up 
code won't catch it.

Re: FLEX SDK Installer Timeout on First Screen

[Alex Harui]

FWIW, I debugged into this and it appears that ApacheURLLoader is not returning 
any responses other than "connect" for 
https://www.apache.org/dist/flex/4.16.1/binaries/apache-flex-sdk-installer-config.xml

That link works fine from my browser, but the custom handling in 
ApacheURLLoader is not working.  I think it is calling 
org.httpclient.HttpClient.  I wonder why it would suddenly stop working.  
@que...@apache.org do you have time to look into this?

Re: Memory Leak

[Alex Harui]

In general, child UI widgets don't cause leaks unless they attach something to 
the stage.  So ComboBox is always suspect because it has a dropDown that is 
attached to the SystemManager/Stage.  A few other components listen for events 
from the stage.

Also, I want to remind you that foo.addEventListener("someEvent", 
this.someHandler) creates a reference from foo to the 'this' object.  What you 
are tracking in your addEventListener override appears to be who is attaching 
listeners to objects you control the code for, but the leak often stems from 
module code attaching listeners to objects outside of the module, like the 
stage, the main app, data objects coming from a server.

Hopefully one of the techniques I suggested earlier will help you figure it out.

However some of the modules have multiple tabs with close to 200 (maybe

Re: Memory Leak

[Alex Harui]

IIRC, if you can run the Flash Builder profiler, you can try to see what the 
references are to the objects coming from the modules.

Another technique is to comment out parts of the module until it unloads.

Are there any SWF assets in the modules?  Animations and 
timer-based/interval-based code tends to pin modules in memory.

Also note that anonymous functions can pin a module as well, especially when 
the anonymous function is an event handler.  The entire scope chain is pinned 
while the event handler is attached to a dispatcher.

To get a flavor for the application, think of a desktop application where
there is a menu bar, from which you select items. These items would bring up
"programs" (modules/panels) which are discreet items that perform very
specific functions. When finished with the "program" it exits (unloads the
module) and waits for the user to select the next "program" to run.

It is of course much more complex than this, and there is some communication
between modules which can be visible at the same time through parent
application or sometimes directly.

However the problem I have is if I load the application, select a single
menu item, close that same menu item 10 times, I end up with 10 occurrences
in the profiler. I also end up with 10x the classes that were called by the
module. For example if I have 5 objects of "X" in the module, after loading
& unloading 10 times there will be 50 occurrences of "X" in the profiler.

Re: Make Your Voice Heard Fast Regarding 32-bit Support!!!

[Alex Harui]

Regarding installing different AIR SDK's with Flex:  In theory, when you run 
the installer, you can override settings by putting a local.properties file in 
the destination folder.  The AIR install is looking for properties like:

air.sdk.url.server
air.sdk.url.folder
air.sdk.url.file
air.sdk.url.md5

In theory, if you set these four values to correct values in local.properties 
it will override what you pick from the UI.  Probably you only need to override 
the folder and md5 values.  That said, I don't see AIR 29.0.0.112 on the Adobe 
AIR Archived SDK list.  But if you have it downloaded somewhere already, you 
can probably set 

air.sdk.url.server=file:///Users/myusername
air.sdk.url.folder=path/to/downloaded/archive

After some research, seems youtube is now only HTML5, so is not possible to

Maybe another video service could be used, how is people serving video

Should I put an iFrame? some combination of video service + flex video

Re: Consume URL information

[Alex Harui]

I'm not sure I fully understand your scenario.  But maybe think of it this way: 
 What would you do for desktop if you didn't use AIR?  Would you run a shell or 
batch script?  Call some other app that came with the OS?  Whatever it is 
(launch the browser or mail client with a 'mailto;' for example, can probably 
be done with NativeProcess on AIR Desktop.

Re: [AIR] Font of loaded swf is lost

[Alex Harui]

The embedding of one font might bring in the EmbeddedFontRegistry classes into 
the main ApplicationDomain so they are shared among all sub-SWFs.  You could 
probably have success just force-linking EmbeddedFontRegistry and not have to 
embed the font.

https://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-799a.html

Note also that using sub-applications is heavier than using modules, so if you 
are going to refactor you might be better off using modules.  Once you get set 
up with EmbeddedFontRegistry in the main ApplicationDomain, things should work 
without extra work on your part.

Re: [AIR] Font of loaded swf is lost

[Alex Harui]

Is this a desktop app or mobile app?

Is the shell written in Flex?  Is the loaded SWF?

For desktop, there should be code in the framework that should get this right 
most of the time.  The rule is that the SWF that contains the embedded font 
must be used to generate the TextField or TextLine that displays the font.  As 
soon as you have more than one SWF running, you can run into problems because 
the way ApplicationDomains work cause your code to want to always instantiate 
TextFields and TextLines in the first SWF loaded.

For Mobile, I'm less clear on the rules since the SWFs are no longer SWFs in 
IOS, IIRC

Re: Trying to get by the Apple Rejections for non-public API callsw

[Alex Harui]

One problem with the direct copy-over is that AIR SDK has an
air-config.xml that blows away the air-config.xml that Flex expects.  I'm
not sure what errors you are running into, but replacing that one file
might help.

On the other hand, the installer is running a subset of Apache Ant, and
you can look at the installer.xml script, and place a local.properties
file in the destination folder and override certain variables.  It might
be that you can override the air.sdk.url.* properties and get past your
problem.

Re: Unable to find Embedded CFF Font

[Alex Harui]

If you are going to use Adobe Flex 4.6 some day (which you might do just
to see if something changed in Apache Flex), you should leave those files
in that lib folder and copy them to your Apache Flex.

I looked in my Adobe Flex 4.6 sdk and flex-fontkit is there.

Re: Unable to find Embedded CFF Font

[Alex Harui]

Embedded Font support is optional in Apache Flex because the code that
supports it is Adobe proprietary and not open source.  The installer.xml
Ant scripts and/or the Apache Flex Installer should give you the option of
downloading the Adobe font libraries.

You can see if the embedded font libraries are in your Apache Flex SDK by
looking for these four files:
lib/external/optional/afe.jar
lib/external/optional/aglj40.jar
lib/external/optional/flex-fontkit.jar
lib/external/optional/rideau.jar


If you want to install them manually, you can find the same four files in
the lib folder of an Adobe Flex 4.6 SDK.  Just make sure you copy them to
lib/external/optional in the Apache Flex SDK.
