Re: Flashbuilder 4.7 for Mac

2021-05-03 Thread Blake McBride
I have a large system with 450 Flex screens (mostly re-written in HTML
now).  Perhaps IntelliJ works in simple cases.  It certainly doesn't in
more complex cases.  I basically stopped developing in Flex over a year
ago.  Although I don't remember the exact issues, I do have access to my
IntelliJ support log.  Keep in mind that after they told me they don't
support Flex anymore, I stopped reporting problems - but there were many
more.  I will post some of the problems when I have time.

Re: Flashbuilder 4.7 for Mac

2021-04-28 Thread Blake McBride
I'm surprised to hear so many people liking Flex under IntelliJ.  I
switched from Flashbuilder to IntelliJ many years ago because of JetBrain's
advertised Flex support.  It took a lot of work to switch only to find that
IntelliJ's support for Flex has many errors.  Being a paying customer I
tried to get support.  I was told they don't support that plugin.  I stuck
with it because Flashbuilder no longer worked on modern machines.  Their
support for Flex is very poor and full of errors.  It helps 50% of the time
and is a meaningless annoyance the other 50%.

Re: Webassembly Flash Emulator

I am very interested and would make a lot of use of it.  However, I require
ActionScript 3.

Text in Text control too dim when control disabled

2020-01-05 Thread Blake McBride
Greetings,

I am working in Flex 3.5.  I have a Text control that has enabled="false".
While I do not want the user to change the value, I do want them to be able
to see it.  It does show when I have enabled="false", it's just to dim.  Is
there a way to make it less dim?

Thanks.

Since my Flash front-end talks to the back-end with SOAP & REST, I am able
to create an equivalent HTML front-end without changing the back-end.   But
that is essentially a re-write of the front-end, and with 450 screens,
that's a bit of a task.  I do not understand what you mean by "keeps all
the as3 code" since the required JavaScript code for the HTML is very
different.  I also don't know what "converted to TrueType" means since
that's just a font.

Flash app -> AIR

2019-06-22 Thread Blake McBride
Greetings,

I have a large Flex(3.5)/Flash app that (obviously) runs under a browser.
Since the Flash player is going away, I am wondering if I should consider
AIR.  What are my other options?  What's easiest?

Thanks.

Flex debugger

2018-07-22 Thread Blake McBride
Greetings,

I wrote a simple debugger for Flex 3 some years ago.  It has served me
well, and it can probably be converted to Flex 4 trivially.  It's at:
https://github.com/blakemcbride/FlexDebugger

Thanks.
