Sounds like a protocol error. Did you upgrade the websocket server?

Also do you see the crossdomain.xml request succeeding?

Re: Deep Linking with Flex to Mobile Apps

deep linking is the wrong term… I think you're looking for url schemes.

phone is navigateToURL("tel:+55");
email is navigateToURL("mailto:a...@asdf.com;);

Re: How to display a unicode char (emoji) in TLF (RichEdit control)

[Clint M]

Ahh… ok I think I understand… you'd have to Embed the font first.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7f5f.html

There is a legal consideration whether you're allowed to embed the font and
use it in your app though.

as the link mentions… this most likely won't work on android (or windows)
as they don't have access to the apple emoji font.

Re: Speeding up column resize

[Clint M]

You could catch the GridEvent.SEPARATOR_MOUSE_DOWN, SEPARATOR_MOUSE_DRAG,
and GridEvent.SEPARATOR_MOUSE_UP and then hide and show what you need to.
The events are dispatched by the GridColumnHeaderGroup but they're mouse
events so they should bubble up to the grid itself.

Re: Crippling Lag - Windows 10 IE11 - FlashPlayer / IBM ILOG Elixir

[Clint M]

It might be memory related.  How much memory is it using?

If it is memory related it might be IE's Enhanced Protection Mode (or lack
there of).  If this is disabled Flash Player will run as a 32 bit process
in IE.  I remember a problem where if the memory was greater than 800MB the
app would start to slow down and eventually crash to a grey screen.

Here's how you can enable it:
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/asiatech/2013/12/25/how-internet-explorer-enhanced-protected-mode-epm-is-enabled-under-different-configurations/

Here's how you can check for it via javascript:
function is32BitInternetExplorer() {
return navigator.platform == 'Win32' &&
(window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") > -1 ||
window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Trident") > -1);
}

The approach I took was to warn the user that the browser was running in
32bit mode and gave them the link above to enable EPM to avoid memory
problems.

Re: Flex Apps on IOS compilation problem

[Clint M]

I've encountered similar problems.  I traced mine to a 700 line function by
slowly removing and re-adding parts of the application.  When I simply
split the function into to separate 350 line functions I was able to
compile. It took me a about a day and half to track it down though.

Re: out-of-memory error with AIR: are ther hard memory limits?

[Clint M]

The limit you're probably hitting is a 32 bit memory limit.

If you're _actually_ using AIR 25 for captive apps which is 64 bit for
windows then I doubt you'll hit any memory limit.

Check this page:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html
and look for: Download AIR SDK & Compiler for Win 64 bit only

Re: SWF Debugging in Visual Studio Code

[Clint M]

ok… I think I've fcsh figured out… here's what I'm planning let me know
your thoughts… it depends on gulp (should be ok?)

1. Use this gulp plugin https://github.com/youpy/gulp-fcsh
2. Setup node.js + gulp.js to run locally (install node, setup gulp as a
dev dependency, npm install)
3. Add the gulp tasks to tasks.json like says to here
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks#_background-watching-tasks
4. Add custom problemMatcher(s) to tasks.json to watch the output

The gulpfile.js in the root of the project would probably look like:
//---
var gulp = require('gulp');
var fcsh = require('gulp-fcsh');

gulp.task('fcsh', function () {
gulp.src('Main.mxml')
 .pipe(fcsh({
   compileOptions: '-library-path+=./libs'
 }))
 .pipe(gulp.dest('bin-debug'))
});
}

gulp.task('watch', function () {
  gulp.watch(['*.mxml', '*.as'], ['fcsh']);
}

Re: SWF Debugging in Visual Studio Code

[Clint M]

got it to build… can't get it to launch the debugger… the error is:
Error launching SWF debug session. Process exited with code: 6

Which according to this [1] means I can't write to the output dir (but I'm
not specifying it). How do I do that?

I wonder if I need to change where I installed the FlexJS sdk?

Here's what the launch config looks like in Flash Bungler.

Re: SWF Debugging in Visual Studio Code

[Clint M]

ha… got it to compile my flex mobile project with a couple of workarounds…

- "library-path": [ "libs" ], didn't work… I had to do: "additionalOptions":
"-library-path+=libs/",
- I had to install both the flex sdk and the flexjs sdk… my
./.vscode/settings.json looks like:
// Place your settings in this file to overwrite default and user settings.
{
"nextgenas.sdk.framework":
"/Users/clint/code/Flex/SDK/flex_sdk_4.15.0_AIR_23",
"nextgenas.sdk.editor": "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/flexjs"

This happens to me if I use the mac finder to copy the air sdk in to the
flex sdk. It works if I use the command line utility cp.

Re: Socket implementation

[Clint M]

make sure you're listening for and handling all the FlashSocketEvent events…
 (e.g. DISCONNECT)

package com.pnwrain.flashsocket.events
{
import flash.events.Event;

public class FlashSocketEvent extends Event
{
public static const CLOSE:String = "close";
public static const CONNECT:String = "connect";
public static const MESSAGE:String = "message";
public static const IO_ERROR:String = "ioError";
public static const SECURITY_ERROR:String = "securityError";
public static const DISCONNECT:String = "disconnect";
public static const CONNECT_ERROR:String = "connectError";

public var data:*;

public function FlashSocketEvent(type:String, 
bubbles:Boolean=true,
cancelable:Boolean=false)
{
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
}
}
}

maybe try calling dataProvider.refresh() after applying the sort initially
or
not applying a sort to the base ICollectionView in the first place

Re: Outdated AIR version in Apache SDK Installer

[Clint M]

I think there was a change on the Adobe side in the way that they package
the sdk now that's not compatible with the current version of the installer
(dmg vs archive).

As a workaround you can copy any AIR SDK over top of any Apache Flex SDK
and it'll work.

Here's a tutorial:

for you. You can view the source the method is public now.

I don't think so but I'm not sure.  You could decompile it if you want.
What do you get when you run it with -d ?(eg. ant build -d)

This will give you the exact command that you could run on the command line
instead of using the ant tasks.

 Should work as long as you understand the speed boost is from:

a) not booting up the jvm everytime
b) incremental compilation is faster because it keeps a cache

If you're running ant… there's a good chance you don't want b) in the first
place and just want a clean build everytime.

Re: Updating a Program

[Clint M]

As long as the app id's are the same it will update the application in
place.

If I remember right… if you change the certificate you'll have to either a)
change the app id or ask users to uninstall the current app first because
the install will fail.

Re: failed to run installer 3.2 on my Mac OS Sierra

[Clint M]

Maybe try to repair disk permissions and try again.

Also this,

"you can't save「Apache Flex SDK
Installer」，volume「4B486363-B090-4F61-8041-A0C076FE485A」is readonly。"

might suggest that it might be a file mode problem or that the volume is
locked.

Re: Upgrading web app to Flex 4.15

override mx_internal function setSelectedIndex
should be;
override public function setSelectedIndex //it's public now

ant build could be your java heap XMX… what's it set at?

paste the command you're using to run mxmlc

run ant with -d (e.g ant build -d)

what's your java -version say?

Re: Catch Errors

[Clint M]

I think you want event.error.

Also… if you compile with verbose-stacktraces=true and use the
event.error.getStackTrace() to get the call stack.

verbose-stacktraces will give you the stack trace even if you compile with
debug=false

You can merge using the command line on osx… just do:

cp   where source_dir is the path to the air 24 sdk
and dest_dir is the path to the flex sdk

Re: Apache Flex SDK Installer and Air 24.0

[Clint M]

Seems like the answer is yes some one from the Apache Flex team just
needs to update an xml file on a server.

As a workaround you can download the Adobe AIR 24 SDK and unzip it then
copy it over top of any existing Flex SDK to update it to AIR 24. Just make
sure you're using a windows sdk on windows and a mac sdk on mac.

Hmh… didn't know this was possible… what is the resulting size of the swf?
(i.e. how much of the Flex framework did it suck in?)

Should dump and post the link report with the compiler option
-link-report=linkReport.xml

Maybe just post the flex related stuff if you don't want us to see your

Does any text get assigned to the label property?

If you can create a small app to reproduce the problem I'm sure someone

It could be a null pointer 1009. The data property can be set to null
especially when using binding.

Here's a util to debug bindings.
https://github.com/vectorscape/monet/blob/b0ea9d8eec7a8800853e49ac924bb171f72175d9/flex/src/com/velti/monet/utils/BindingDebugger.as

You may want to avoid using mxml for itemRenderers and also avoid using
bindings inside the item renderers all together.

Re: Padding above a text in Mobile Air App

[Clint M]

There are a lot of factors (more so on mobile devices because of dpi) that
could affect the positioning of the label.

If you can post a small example demonstrating the bug... that would help.

Re: Padding above a text in Mobile Air App

It is most likely this:
"The font size of text (not the text itself) is scaled to match the
resolution."

Re: Is AIR 24 Flex SDK available yet? need to test show stopper from Adobe

[Clint M]

Technically… there is no such thing as a AIR 24 Flex SDK.

You can unzip/overlay the air 24 sdk into/onto any existing apache flex sdk
to update the air sdk to 24.

Here's some instructions...

If it's small the easiest thing to do is what you mentioned above. Flatten
it out to .as files.

If the assets are marked for export to actionscript you might be able to
get away with embedding the assets like:

[Embed(source='SWFFileName.swf', symbol='symbolName')]

Re: Help to steer me (please) on a Flash Pro 6 to Flex SDK compiler path

[Clint M]

Is/are the root app/s timeline based or does it have a root document class?
(movieclip or sprite based)

The mxmlc / compc compilers can only compile .as files not fla files.

If there's a document class you'll be set. You can just point mxmlc at the
document class + src + lib folders and it'll compile fine.

- compile the app with -verbose-stacktraces=true
- get them to install the debug player… it'll show a dialog when an error
occurs
- or you could trap the uncaughtErrorEvent and display a message (
http://stackoverflow.com/a/6597046/3384609)

Sometimes a null pointer in flex's validation methods (updateDisplayList,
commitProperties) can cause an app to crash.
You can listen for errors on those methods like this.

import mx.core.UIComponentGlobals
import mx.managers.SystemManagerGlobals
import mx.events.DynamicEvent

private function app_preinit(event:Event):void {
  UIComponentGlobals.catchCallLaterExceptions = true;

SystemManagerGlobals.topLevelSystemManagers[0].addEventListener("callLaterError",
systemManager_callLaterError);
}

private function systemManager_callLaterError(event:DynamicEvent):void {
  Alert.show(event.error.message + "\n" + event.error.getStackTrace());
}

Re: Do ItemRenderer's get reused across different components?

[Clint M]

was able to reproduce... pretty gnarly... assigning a new XMLList with the
same content multiple times yields different tilelayout arrangements.

Ya don't do that.

It depends on how you're doing it in my first question but generally
something like that would just be handled in the itemRenderer like:

data.quantity = newVal; <-- this will also trigger a collectionChange event
on the lists dataProvider that you could handle

If you're bubbling a click event up and trying to handle it in a controller
then you could do something like:

list.dataProvider[itemRenderer.itemIndex].quantity = newValue;

Re: Error handshaking for timestamp during AIR packaging

[Clint M]

Are you running Charles (or some other web proxy) with ssl proxying enabled
that subs it's ssl cert for a valid one?

As a workaround you can specify -tsa none as a compiler arg.

Re: Get mouse coordinates on high speed

I think the simple answer to what you're asking is no.

Try posting the code you're using to draw the curve though.

Someone might spot something to help speed it up.

Re: SDK Installer not running

[Clint M]

I can produce that error if I uninstall Adobe AIR. (i.e. if Adobe AIR is
not installed)

Maybe try uninstalling Adobe AIR via the command line:

AdobeAIRInstaller.exe -uninstall

You should see output like:
C:\Users\clint\Downloads>Uninstalling Adobe AIR (all versions)
done

Then try reinstalling AIR.

Then try running the Apache Flex SDK installer again.

Then if that doesn't work maybe try reinstalling the Apache Flex SDK
installer as well.

Re: Hot to get smooth transitions in a flex mobile app

[Clint M]

If you run Adobe Scout and set -advanced-telemetry in your compiler options
you can see exactly what is dragging down the frame rate.

My guess is that you're processing the data response (populating classes
with data) while the animation is happening for longer than the framerate
allows.

Flash is single threaded. So if you're executing an ActionScript function
for longer than what your framerate is set to then you'll start pushing out
the current frame. This is called "dropping frames". (1 second / 60fps =
 16 milliseconds <- The amount of time you have on each frame.)

If you're processing data (or executing any ActionScript function) for
longer than 16 milliseconds @ 60 fps you'll prevent the ActionScript that
controls the execution of the animation from executing on the frames it
needs to execute on to look smooth to the human eye.

Re: Flex mobile: prevent re-creating view when doing navigator.popView()

[Clint M]

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex-mobile-development-tips-tricks-pt1.html#articlecontentAdobe_numberedheader

The relevant part is:
"In Flex 4.5, only one View is active at any given time. By default, all
other Views will be destroyed and recreated when needed. This behavior is
controlled by the destructionPolicy property on the View class, which is
set to auto by default. If you set the value of this property to never ,
the View will be cached and hold its state until it is reactivated via a
call to navigator.popView() ."
