Creating Slider in FlexJS
I'm working with Flashbuilder 4.7 and FlexJS 0.7.0 on Windows 10. The following code generates a slider on the Run command. However, it does not generate a slider when I do a release build. Is there something very obvious that I am missing? Thanks so much, Lane. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

We won't have a good clone() or deep copy mechanism until we get further
down the AMF path.
I'm sure you realize you can copy an Array of simple values via
Array.slice(); If you want to contribute a deep copy algorithm, you can
try using the Reflection APIs to do it.

Re: Slider and circular dependency
Hi Alex,
Thanks. I was placing the -remove-circulars in the wrong section. It worked
after I applied the change, and then exited Flashbuilder completely and
restarted it (just applying the change resulted in Flashbuilder being unable
to find the program and delivering an error).
There appears to be one final problem. I have an array. I want to sort the
array and have another array (not just a pointer to the same array). I'm
using the following function:
private function clone(source:Object):*
{
var myBA:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
myBA.writeObject(source);
myBA.position = 0;
return(myBA.readObject());
}
ByteArray appears to be related to Flash and doesn't compile. What
substitute would one use in FlexJS?
Thanks again,
Lane.

From the menus: Run

Select: FlexJS (FalconJX Debug and Release Build)
And add -remove-circulars to the beginning of arguments list.
It may not work if you add it after the -fb argument.

Slider and circular dependency
I'm preparing a release version of what appears to be a stable FlexJS program (my special thanks to those who have made this possible). It contains a slider, generated as follows: The sliderChange method accesses the value of the slider, which by definition is always current after a mouseUp. Two questions: 1) I am using mouseUp because there is apparently no change property activated yet for a Slider in FlexJS. It's not perfect, but it does the job (as long as one does not move the mouse a long distance from the slider before releasing it, or off the app itself, yielding an error). Is there a better way to capture slider movement than mouseUp and then slider.value? 2) To release the program, I go to Run, Express Tools, and then Option 7 (Flashbuilder 4.7). I am receiving the following error: Oct 27, 2016 4:52:41 PM com.google.javascript.jscomp.LoggerErrorManager println SEVERE: ERROR - Circular dependency detected: org.apache.flex.html.Slider -> org.apache.flex.html.beads.controllers.SliderMouseController -> org.apache.flex.html.Slider The section on Circular Dependencies on the Apache site suggests that one might perhaps use the "-remove-circulars option" on the compiler (with the word remove crossed out in the HTML which I find a bit puzzling). When I place the expression "-remove-circulars" (without the quotes) in the compiler (Project-Properties-Flex Compiler-Additional Compiler Operations), it is not accepted. Is this the best way to handle this particular circular dependency, and if so, what precise expression does one place in the compiler as an option so that it will be accepted?

Tabbing in FlexJS Freezes
I modified the JSStore example to a simple tabbed template, using only two of the tabs and not displaying the third (but leaving unchanged the code that handles the third). I have received this error twice at run time. The app compiles and runs, the following notice comes up, and then after a few seconds the browser crashes (I have a few seconds to grab the text before everything freezes). If I start an entirely new project and copy over code (usually moving back a bit in the development process), it goes away. The time during development at which the error appears seems unpredictable and not clearly linked to anything that I am doing. Is this related to the tabbing in FlexJS and the complexity that I have had to comment out in the JSStore example (the error notice does mention StatesWithTransitions)? Is there template code somewhere for a stable tabbed application in FlexJS (no animation, nothing fancy, only two or three tabs)?

Re: FlexJS tying into HTML
Thanks for the response. I recall increasing difficulties working with html text in a TextArea when transitioning from Web to Mobile development. It wasn't always stable, even with very small files. I couldn't imagine that things would suddenly become easy again in a 0.7.0 beta which in essence is not only Web but also Mobile (because it runs in the browser of mobile devices). The html property in the Text Area has all the functionality that I require. This is going to be a lot of fun.

FlexJS tying into HTML
I'm really enjoying FlexJS. I can't believe that I'm using MXML and it's working directly on a browser. Finally, a way to build a platform-agnostic Rich Internet Application that can't be stopped by anyone! One question: How does one bring up the functional equivalent to an ActionScript MXML TextArea that can handle html? Now that one is accessing javascript within a browser, is it possible in some way to tie into the browser? Just the simple things - bold, italics, centered headings, embedded images that move with the text. Is it possible to instantiate (using ActionScript) some explanatory html-formatted text with a few small embedded images when the user presses a button. There are tutorials at http://nextgenactionscript.com/tutorials/ but they don't seem to have what I need (or perhaps I don't recognize it when I'm staring at it). The ideal would be to embed the formatted text into the application so that it looks like a TextArea. Failing that, I suppose a popup from the browser might work (if ActionScript can generate it and communicate with it). I'm not sure how a mobile device would handle that, or if users would like it. Any ideas would be appreciated. Lane. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

ios Provisioning Profile
Apple recently changed their policy. It is now possible for a non-developer to run a program from XCode on an actual iOS device. Is it possible to do the same from a Flex mobile program on IntelliJ? JetBrain instructions at the following address seem to indicate that the answer is No. You need to log in as a developer in order to get a provisioning profile. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/flex-users/201303.mbox/%3c513d855c.7050...@jetbrains.com%3E Is this old information? Is there now a way for a non-developer to run/debug a vanilla Flex program (same restrictions as with XCode) on an actual iOS device (personal device only) via a USB cable as can be done with XCode? I have both a Mac and an Apple so can use either platform. For instance, does XCode generate a non-developer’s provisioning profile that can be referenced by IntelliJ? Where would it be located? Thanks, Lane.

Download of FlexJS; installing on Flashbuilder and IntelliJ
Hi Alex, Verbose logging was the key. It turns out the JAVA_HOME environmental variable was not set. The sdk (nightly build) downloaded successfully. I have successfully added the sdk to Flashbuilder. I have also successfully added the sdk to IntelliJ, using the 'Flex/Air SDK' option. So far so good on IntelliJ. I notice that the sdk has a folder called Examples. If I can open and place into a browser one of the examples, for instance ChartExample, then I should be up and running. I would appreciate it if Chris could walk me through the 'geek steps' involved in making this (I hope) final transition. Then we'll see what this new beast can do.

Re: Possible FlexJS Port
Hi Om, That is truly amazing that a site with this kind of intricacy could actually be ported into something that would run on an iPAD Safari browser, bypassing the Apple AppStore. I'm quite comfortable with pulling in screens one by one and adjusting things until they run - that's my preferred method of development. If there are bugs, then I'll work around them. I'll find a way. What I'm not sure about is how to install the FlexJS sdk. You mentioned in your talk that the sdk can be installed on Flashbuilder. You did not mention IntelliJ. I find IntelliJ to be superior in just about every measure. Does it work on IntelliJ? If not, then how precisely would one install it in Flashbuilder? I am not at all familiar with Flexmojos or Maven or any of the manipulations required to work with them. That stuff is complete Greek to me. However, once I have an sdk installed on a system such as (hopefully) IntelliJ, then I'm off and running. Is there something like the Apache Flex SDK Installer that can download a FlexJS sdk, in the same way that one downloads Flex 4.14.1?

Possible FlexJS Port
Hi Om, I watched your video with interest. Is it possible to translate the code found at http://cognitivestyles.com into javascript using FlexJS? This is an ancient and poorly organized Flash-based website that badly needs updating into the current edited version of the material (which has been extended into 650 lessons and tested over the past several years with students). Could something similar to this code be ported into javascript through FlexJS so that it runs on a browser without the Flash plugin? Please note the tab structure on the bottom. Choosing a lesson from the Lessons tab sets up exercises for that lesson in the other tabs. This is therefore a program with multiple aspects, not a web site in the ordinary sense. I own both Flashbuilder 4.7 and IntelliJ Ultimate and could use either as required. If it's helpful, I could send you the Flex-based Android apk file of the current app, which is highly tested, popular with students and close to final release, so that you can see exactly what would be involved in an actual port. Best regards, Lane.

Scaling an app
Some thoughts,
I do all scaling manually. First, I write all (non-animated) programming for
600 pixel width and 1024 pixel height, hard-coded. Then I define a variable
screenRatio:
if(mx.core.FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.aspectRatio == "portrait")
{
screenRatio = (this.width)/600;
}
else
{
screenRatio = (this.width)/1010;
}
Most (non-animated) components are then scaled in the init() function, as in
component.scaleX = screenRatio, and component.scaleY=screenRatio. This
automatically takes care of some fontScaling as well.
I set up an event handler in the init() section:
this.addEventListener(ResizeEvent.RESIZE,shiftTheFrame,false,0,true);
The function shiftTheFrame contains
if(mx.core.FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.aspectRatio == "portrait")
{
here I adjust component width and height for portrait view
}
else
{
here I adjust component width and height for landscape view
}
This allows the device to be rotated. paddingTop for a TextArea and other
parameters may need to be scaled as well and can be altered in a rotation.
It can be easier to scale something like a button by scaling the label; this
is done with code such as:
helpButton.setStyle("fontSize",new String(26*screenRatio));
Placement of scaled sections is best left to MXML, meaning that the
components are defined using MXML and not dynamically by ActionScript.
Animations work faster in components that are not scaled. I thus place
animations in segments defined by
component.height = this.height
component.width = this.width
or width=100% if defined in MXML.
These various corrections are placed not only in init() but inside
shiftTheFrame as well, so that the component sizes are properly adjusted as
the device is rotated. Sometimes it is easier to develop separate
presentations for portrait and landscape view and then to adjust visibility
in shiftTheFrame (component.visible=false or component.visible=true as
required). Alternatively, components can be removed or added to other
components as necessary (as long as they don't contains html; the coding
will not fully survive a move).
Scaled and unscaled (animated) components are placed into the same page;
that can be a bit tricky because MXML can no longer do this for you. For
instance, one might define one component's position absolutely in relation
to the x- or y-coordinate of some named aspect of another (the tricky part
is that this does not always reflect the scaling). Also, you have to be a
bit cautious with height; give it a bit of leeway because of differing
aspect ratios.
A page with text that needs to be read must have options to alter the font
size - some people like the text larger and others appreciate it smaller. I
do that by placed html in the text such as . I then do a
global search and replace for this text and replace the number with
something else (eg 32), depending on how the size has been altered. I store
the value in the persistence manager so that it is used and a replacement
automatically made the next time the app is launched. This allows me to
leave a TextArea unscaled; the adjustment for fontSize for various device
screen densities is folded into the initial one-time sizing of the text as a
preference.
I might add that I handle all persistence issues manually view by view and
use persistence only in views or components that require it. Everything in
one view is cleaned up manually before transiting to the next view. This
creates a snappy and highly stable app even with something that finally
becomes rather complex and even in some really old hardware.
I've generated an app (600 English lessons with integrated animated
exercises backed by multiple hours of either on-device or on-demand audio
presenting text with over 3500 new vocabulary words) using these techniques
that scales seamlessly and automatically (same identical apk file) from 480
X 300 all the way up to 2560 X 1600. It's just as fast with scaling as it
would be if there were no scaling (since any sections that require
animations remain unscaled; TextArea segments remain unscaled and thus
continue to scroll smoothly and easily).
Lane.

components look too small in overall size on screen in new laptops
(something like the screenshots shown here in this link:

We can achieve it in flex 4 :

Re: Downloading SDK Problem Solved
Hi Alex, Aha, that's it. Hate to admit it, but I'm still using Windows XP for production. Everyone else in our home is on Windows 7 and I maintain their machines, but mine still works great (never any problems before this one) and I've got a lot of integrated software on it. Point is, I also always use Firefox and never IE. When I went to IE (version 8) as you requested, it wanted me to load the latest Flash Player for IE. It installed OK but after a successful install no longer brought up the SDK Installer successfully. That's the problem. Something about the combination of Windows XP, IE 8 and the various versions of Flash doesn't mesh properly with the SDK Installer. Of course, when I went to another machine, it was Windows 7, because no one else in our home is still on XP. Then it worked properly, even though I again used Firefox. I presume the IE libraries were OK on the newer machine.
