RE: [flexcoders] ShowDataTip makes charts impossible to destroy arrgghh!

[Sunil Bannur]

Not sure, how you are cleaning up your charts, but datatips are part of
the systemManger.toolTipChildren.

The best way to get rid of datatips is to position the mouse pointer
where there are no items, which would make the number of datatips on the
chart to be zero, which will remove the existing datatip children in
InstanceCache's set count method by calling removeChild method.

 

The src of datavisualization (which has charts, advanced data grid)
should be in your sdk\lib\DMV-source.jar, which should get extracted
once you apply your license.

Subject: [flexcoders] ShowDataTip makes charts impossible to destroy
arrgghh!

 

hi-

we are working on using the Profiler in FlexBuilder 3 to improve our
app's memory use. We have a number of charts using flex charting, and
we are trying to destroy them when they are no longer in use. This
involves cleaning up a tangled web of references to get them out of
memory.

this works fine, except for charts which have the showDataTips
property enabled. When the chart has been moused over and the dataTip
shown, destruction becomes impossible! I suspect this is b/c the
dataTip still exists and is bound to the chart, thus "holding" the
chart itself in memory even when it has been set to null and removed.

Does anyone have any clue how to eliminate the dataTip so we can get
the chart out of memory? As a side note, it would greatly help if we
could access the source of Pie or another chart-- we have the
Professional licenses which give us charting, but we only get the code
in swc form? Is there any way to see the source?

thanks!
Ryan

Once again, two seconds after I post, the answer pops into my head... And as
usual, the (simple) solution for anybody trawling the list in future:

[Bindable(event="populated")]
public class FooBar extends EventDispatcher  {

...

//Pay attention to me!
dispatchEvent(new Event("populated"));

[flexcoders] How do I dispatch an "everything" PropertyChangeEvent on this?

[Josh McDonald]

Hi guys,

Disclaimer: this is probably a stupid question, but I've been trying to
figure this out for way too long!

I've got some code that does all sorts of things to this.foo, this.bar, and
this.baz etc etc. At the moment I'm dispatching several standard
PropertyChangeEvents as I change fields. What I'd like to do is once I've
finished all my voodoo, dispatch a single event that says "everything needs
to be updated", but I need to do it to this rather than on a reference in a
parent object, as it's a non-visual component that has no idea where it sits
in the object graph.

I *know* there's a simple solution to this...

[flexcoders] Re: Keeping certain attributes of the updateDisplayList while extending Label

[Shun Chu]

Thanks again.

Yeah, I tried that as well. But it doesn't return the resized height
but a uniformed height of 18 pixels instead.

Is there no other way to capture the height after it's been drawn? I
have done the following:

var grid1:DataGrid = DataGrid(DataGridListData(listData).owner);
trace(grid1.getExplicitOrMeasuredHeight());

It returns the height of the datagrid.

trace(getExplicitOrMeasuredHeight());

It returns the 18 px height I mentioned earlier and truncates whatever
data that is beyond the 1st line.

I have also tried various other "get" and "measure" methods to no avail.

I may be naive, but is there a way to capture "grid1.[height of each
data cell]" and pass that as argument?

Thanks.

just downloaded and tried to install FB3.

not good news. First time ever I've had a failure.

The error said it could not update the plug-ins into Eclipse

the problem could be my end: the SOE of my workstation has me set up

although I can install other software: firefox, Apache, Coldfusion, etc)

so I'm looking for a work-around.

[flexcoders] invalid column widths in DG before render.

[aceoohay]

I have written a bit of code that generates the xml needed to display 
an Excel Workbook with multiple worksheets. I have created a tabbed 
panel with 5 different grids one per panel.

One of the features of the spreadsheet class is to grab the width of 
each column and create the same size column in Excel, this works well, 
except if the grid has not been displayed. In other words every tab 
that you display, the coresponding grid widths convert to Excel fine, 
the ones that you have not clicked get the data properly, but the sizes 
are very small, but not all the same size.

To get the size of the column I use;

Math.ceil(dg.columns[i].width)

Any clues as to what might be going on, or better yet how to solve it?

[flexcoders] ContextMenuEvent over a List

I want to detect if the user right-clicked over a list item.  The

illegal), but the following code shows what I mean:

private function handleMenuSelect(event:ContextMenuEvent):void {
   var renderer:IListItemRenderer = mouseEventToItemRenderer(event as
MouseEvent);
   if (renderer==null) {

   var dropInListItemRenderer:IDropInListItemRenderer =

[flexcoders] Re: RTMP port 2038

[meteatamel]

It is possible. In your Flex app, you can create a ChannelSet and add
an RTMPChannel to it with the url that has the port, and then assign
that ChannelSet to your Flex component (RemoteObject,
Producer/Consumer, HTTPService/WebService, DataServcice). 

Check out the Actionscript API for these classes.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Messaging Service + Drag and Drop List Component

[Seth Hodgson]

Hi Jeffrey,

You shouldn't attempt to send UI components from one app to another; you just 
need to send enough info to the peer for it to simulate the same behaviors as 
you're doing locally. There's no out-of-the-box support for synchronizing the 
UI of your Flex app across peers.

Try sending identifiers for the component you're dragging, as well as for the 
drop target. In your messageHandler() method in the receiving app, use these 
identifiers to get references to the local UI components that match, and 
reparent the 'dragged' component under the local 'drop target' component. The 
reparenting could be simple and direct, and you could try to animate it once 
you get the basic scenario working if you wanted (you know where the 'dragged' 
component starts and where it ends up so maybe you could do a straight line 
animation to simulate the original drag and drop). Sorry, don't have time to 
code up anything at the moment.

When building 'screen-sharing' style applications like this, you need to really 
keep network latency in mind. Some GUI frameworks will 'summarize' events 
before handing off to even local processing (i.e. collapsing a bunch of 
individual key strokes into a summary string containing all the characters 
typed since the last event dispatch and just dispatching that single event). 
This becomes even more important when you're considering sending lots of high 
frequency events over the network to peers.

In this case, I'd recommend sending a single message to subscribed peers on 
drop complete, indicating which component was dragged and dropped along with 
its final location. You can then either just reparent the corresponding 
component immediately on the receiving peer, or animate it along a simple path. 
There are lots of options with this sort of thing, but you shouldn't try to 
generate and send a message for each pixel it is dragged.

Hope that helps,

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How to tell if variable is an int, uint, or a Number?

[Gordon Smith]

I think there is a conceptual distinction between the runtime type of an
AS3 value and the compile-time type of a var or parameter that holds
such a value.

 

The 'is' operator works on values. A value like 5 'is' both an int, a
uint, and a Number because it is a legal value in the set of possible
values for each of these types.

 

But I would expect a var declared as

 

var u:uint;

 

to report itself via describeType() as a uint, just like int and Number
do. It seems like a bug that it doesn't.

I doubt it, although I'm not in regular contact with that team any more.

The future of EcmaScript is being hashed out by standards committees, in
which Adobe participates. The ES4 spec won't be finished until late this
year at the earliest... too late for Flash Player 10. However, FP10 does
include a typed Vector class. For example, you can declare something to
be Vector., Vector., etc. We'll be making use of this
in new APIs for Flex 4.

Hurra! I see you have h/w supported 3d! Does this imply Shockwave is 
falling into oblivion?

For the next iteration of AS, please consider enums and typed 
collections (even the Java 1.5 way of doing it is better than nothing). 
The lack of enums makes type safe api:s much harder, something your API 
shows too.

Alternately, you can build your Channels and ChannelSet in ActionScript
as your app starts up and assign that to your components (e.g.
RemoteObject, DataService, etc.). If you do this you either need to
hardcode URLs for your server (or servers in a cluster) into your code,
or make a request somewhere to fetch them dynamically. It's a chicken
and egg problem :) But you don't necessarily need to compile them in via
the -services mxmlc compiler flag.

Whenever you change that port, you need to rebuild the Flex app, as this
port value is burnt into the SWF. Someone please correct me if I'm

I don't think the Player team has released any docs on the new APIs yet.
For now, they're mainly interested in developers using FP10 for

RE: [flexcoders] RTMP port 2038

[Seth Hodgson]

Create your RTMPChannel in ActionScript and assign it to your components for 
use. When you want to change its URL, invoke disconnectAll() on your 
ChannelSet, update your RTMPChannel's URL, and reconnect (by making a remoting 
call, issuing a DataService fill, etc.)

I'm not sure what the use case is here though? Distributing a swf that will 
work against various servers which may be running their RTMP endpoints on 
different ports?

Re: [flexcoders] Strategies for reducing size of Flex SWF?

[Robert Stehwien]

You can link the Flex framework as a runtime shared library (RSL).  This
creates a framework_xxx.swf and .swz file that contain the entire flex
framework instead of including the components you use in your application.
You application becomes smaller but the framework is pretty big.  The
advantage is flash players cache the framework so once someone loads that
version of the framework, they never need it again.

In Flex Builder you change the framework linkage to RSL in the "Flex Builder
Path" | "Library Path" properties of the project.

Well, it turns out that doesn't work either if the int is positive. If
an int is positive all of the follow tests return true:

var testInt:int = 5;
var obj:Object = testInt;

obj is int -> true
obj is uint -> true
obj is Number -> true

So, I'm back to assuming there is no way to tell an int from a uint.

strict IT rules in place?   The amount of time wasted logging in to the 25+
apps a day some enterprise employees have to use is expensive.

[flexcoders] RTMP port 2038

[Robert Csiki]

Is it possible to change this port value in LCDS without the need to
rebuild the SWF?

Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: Problem with RTMP

[Robert Csiki]

Whenever you change that port, you need to rebuild the Flex app, as this
port value is burnt into the SWF. Someone please correct me if I'm
wrong.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Messaging Service + Drag and Drop List Component

[Seth Hodgson]

You can put anything you like into the body, or headers, of an AsyncMessage; a 
string, a number, an anonymous Object, a typed Object (if you use a typed 
Object be sure to tag it with [RemoteClass] metadata). You can control which 
subscribed Consumers receive the message by using the Consumer.selector 
property (a SQL-92 expression evaluated on the server against the headers of 
incoming messages; if the message headers satisfy the expression the message 
will be delivered to the Consumer), or by using the Consumer.subtopic property 
to subscribe to a subtopic (or range of subtopics) within a destination and 
using the Producer.subtopic property to control which specific subtopic sent 
messages go to.

When building 'screen-sharing' style applications like this, you need to really 
keep network latency in mind. Some GUI frameworks will 'summarize' events 
before handing off to even local processing (i.e. collapsing a bunch of 
individual key strokes into a summary string containing all the characters 
typed since the last event dispatch and just dispatching that single event). 
This becomes even more important when you're considering sending lots of high 
frequency events over the network to peers.

In this case, I'd recommend sending a single message to subscribed peers on 
drop complete, indicating which component was dragged and dropped along with 
its final location. You can then either just reparent the corresponding 
component immediately on the receiving peer, or animate it along a simple path. 
There are lots of options with this sort of thing, but you shouldn't try to 
generate and send a message for each pixel it is dragged.

Hope that helps,
Seth

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex Messaging Service + Drag and Drop List Component

I have a 2 list components in which I have enabled drag and drop
(dragEnabled="true" dropEnabled="true" dragMoveEnabled="true"
dragDrop="dragDropHandler(event)"). So, I am able to drag and drop the
List items (which I have a custom itemRenderer for). I am also using
flex messaging service (Flex data services) so that a change made in
one connected client/browser is propagated to all other connected
browsers. I would like to be able to drag an item from one list to
another (in one browser) and see that drag and drop happen (as it is
happening) in all other connected browsers. I know that I need to send
an AsyncMessage to the server via a producer, and receive from the
server via a consumer.

Question: What do I include in the async message in order to see the
list items drag/drop as it is happening in all connected browsers? 

Can someone help me with code/example? Thanks
 

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to tell if variable is an int, uint, or a Number?

[EECOLOR]

The best I could do is posted below. I could not make a distinction between
uint and int if the int is positive. To me it is unclear if the value
is represented as signed or unsigned integer within the player itself. It
is clear however that a positive (int) value is automatically serialized to
a uint if writen as an object.

What I would like to know however is why you would need this. I am very
curious what that knowledge could be usefull for.

Yeah... with that I completely agree. I was assuming that he came to terms

Crossing authentication barriers is always a hot topic. and the
EncryptedStore would be a great place to mount a single sign-on solution for
AIR apps. However - to keep this all in perspective - remember that any
authentication method that allows credentials acquired during a handshake to
be 'handled' outside the originating system isn't secure. it's a very bad

[flexcoders] Position Menu under LinkButton

[Greg Hess]

Hi Folks,

I am trying to position a Menu under a help LinkButton to give the user the
help options. I thought I could use the link buttons x y (minus the height
and width of the button) to position the menu in the middle under the button
but it is not working. The LinkButton is a child of an HBox and its x y is
always 0. I have been able to position the menu where the mouse x,y at time
of click was (using Application.application.mouseX,Y) but I would prefer to
have the menu always show at the same position relative to the button.

Does anyone know how I can do this?

Cheers,

Greg

[flexcoders] Re: Include images in SWC via compc

[Richard Rodseth]

Are there any good (preferably GUI) tools for inspecting the contents
of SWCs and SWFs. My colleague is still having no luck building the
SWC that I now have working in FlexBuilder.

I have a feeling the key is understanding what Flexbuilder does when
you designate a file (eg "src" in my layout below) as the "main"
source folder. Is there a compc equivalent, or just the -source-path
option?

If you're using CF 7.02, the differences should be mimimal. The
services-config. xml filea now has things broken out into separate files,
so if you've done anything custom there, you'll have a small amount of
work to do.

Set up a dev instance using the developer edition of CF8 and test things
out to be sure.

[flexcoders] Re: How to tell if variable is an int, uint, or a Number?

[Paul Whitelock]

Well, it turns out that doesn't work either if the int is positive. If
an int is positive all of the follow tests return true:

var testInt:int = 5;
var obj:Object = testInt;

obj is int -> true
obj is uint -> true
obj is Number -> true

So, I'm back to assuming there is no way to tell an int from a uint.

RE: [flexcoders] coldfusion and Flex?

[Battershall, Jeff]

If you're using CF 7.02, the differences should be mimimal. The
services-config.xml filea now has things broken out into separate files,
so if you've done anything custom there, you'll have a small amount of
work to do.

Set up a dev instance using the developer edition of CF8 and test things
out to be sure.

Hi,

I am working with CF7,Flex and Cairngorm.the application works fine.

My manager want to use CF8 now, I do not have idea what I have to 
change from setting up project to Flex coding etc.

I need to know the steps before I switch cf7 to cf8.

Do you have experience for this.Please give me a hit.

[flexcoders] Re: How to tell if variable is an int, uint, or a Number?

[Paul Whitelock]

I found another way that seems to work (not sure why though):

var testUint:uint = 1;
var testInt:int = -1;
var testNumber:Number = 1.1;

var obj:Object = testUint;

trace ("uint: " + (obj is uint && obj is int));
trace ("int: " + (obj is int && !(obj is uint)));
trace ("Number: " + ((obj is Number) && !(obj is int) && !(obj is uint)));

Output:
uint: true
int: false
Number: false

obj = testInt;

trace ("uint: " + (obj is uint && obj is int));
trace ("int: " + (obj is int && !(obj is uint)));
trace ("Number: " + ((obj is Number) && !(obj is int) && !(obj is uint)));

Output:

uint: false
int: true
Number: false

obj = testNumber;

trace ("uint: " + (obj is uint && obj is int));
trace ("int: " + (obj is int && !(obj is uint)));
trace ("Number: " + ((obj is Number) && !(obj is int) && !(obj is uint)));

Output:
uint: false
int: false
Number: true

Thanks! That did help, but it doesn't seem to work for a uint. Here's
my test code:

var testUint:uint = 1;
var testInt:int = -1;
var testNumber:Number = 1.1;

var testDate:Date = new Date();
var testArray:Array = new Array();

var test:Array = [testUint, testInt, testNumber, testString, testDate,
testArray];

for (var i:uint = 0; i < test.length; i++) {
var typeInfo:String = describeType(test[i])[EMAIL PROTECTED]();
trace(typeInfo);
}

And here's the output:

int
int
Number
String
Date
Array

I'm guessing there's no way to identify a uint -- is that correct?

[flexcoders] Re: Keeping certain attributes of the updateDisplayList while extending Label

[Shun Chu]

Thanks for your suggestion. I did call the
"super.updateDisplayList()". Specifically, I am implementing what's
beeing shown here:
http://butterfliesandbugs.wordpress.com/2007/07/11/using-an-itemrenderer-to-change-the-background-of-a-datagrid-cell/

I am guessing that the itemRenderer is being overridden with the the
"unscaledWidth" and "unscaledHeight" arguments in the "g.drawRect"
method. And it's drawing with the unscaled numbers. Is there a way to
somehow catch the resized height/width and pass those as arguments
instead?

Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: Can AIR app get Workstation Credentials?

[Geoffrey]

I've decided to create a login panel to allow the user to login first,
but I've run into a snag.  We're using acegi as our security layer,
and it intercepts all requests checking for state.

I thought that I could just call the j_acegi_security_check.jsp
directly supplying it with user and password, but it returns the
acegilogin.jsp page.  I noticed that my initial request to the
j_acegi_security_check.jsp page had no jsessionid associated with it,
so I thought that was the problem.  To test that idea I created
another HTTPSession request that gets spit out upon
applicationComplete to a bogus page on the server.  Now my AIR session
seems to have the JSESSIONID cookie set because when I send the real
'logon' request, I see the same JSESSIONID in the header.

Unfortunately, this didn't work either because I still get the
acegilogin.jsp page returned to me.

The only real difference I see between the web and AIR requests is
that the 'Referer' is different in the header.  From AIR, the referer
is "app:/AirMain.swf", from the web version of our app it's
"acegilogin.jsp;jsessionid=098CEB40890309539C7E50EF410B54DE".

Does anyone have experience integrating AIR and acegi?

Yes.  Static are not inherited so you have to find the base class that

Many thanks for the replies, describeType works great.

I can't get c.Roadnight to work though and for now am having to create
an instance of the class to call the function (which I had to make
non-static).

var selectedTemplateClass:Class = initEvent.frameType;
var xml:XML = selectedTemplateClass.getBlankXML();

gives a compiler error.

var selectedTemplateClass:Class = initEvent.frameType;
var xml:XML = selectedTemplateClass.getBlankXML;

does not give a compiler error but xml remains null

I also tried

var selectedTemplateClass:Class = initEvent.frameType;
var blankXMLFunction:Function =
selectedTemplateClass.getBlankXML;
var xml:XML = blankXMLFunction();

but blankXMLFunction remains null.

At the moment I have it working with a fresh instance of the class but
I'd rather not do it this way if possible.

Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: ComboBox Data Display woes, Getting [object Object] instead of what I need

Never mind, I did a bit of messing around and found the solution to be
that I simply had to set the labelField property to whatever column
header I was binding the box to.

[flexcoders] ComboBox Data Display woes, Getting [object Object] instead of what I need

[bredwards358]

The AIR application that I'm currently developing, gets its data from
a SQL Lite database and does it through whatever select statement it
needs which then puts the results into an array collection variable
which is then passed into the dataProvider for the control. So far,
its just been data grids, but when I try to put the array collection
variable into a combobox, I get this when I trace it:

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

I get the same result when I trace it on a data grid so I know that
it's working properly, I'm guessing something's not being liked when
it comes to combo boxes. The select statement is simply selecting one
column from the desired table. I am wondering if there is something
needed to be done to get the selected data to display properly in the
comboBox instead of [object Object],[object Object],[object Object].
More than likely I'm hoping this is something simple I'm just
overlooking, thanks in advance.

EDIT: Here's the XML tag for my comboBox



model.classData is the ArrayCollection which stores the data from the
insert statement

this works fine, except for charts which have the showDataTips
property enabled. When the chart has been moused over and the dataTip
shown, destruction becomes impossible! I suspect this is b/c the
dataTip still exists and is bound to the chart, thus "holding" the
chart itself in memory even when it has been set to null and removed.

Does anyone have any clue how to eliminate the dataTip so we can get
the chart out of memory? As a side note, it would greatly help if we
could access the source of Pie or another chart-- we have the
Professional licenses which give us charting, but we only get the code
in swc form? Is there any way to see the source?

thanks!

[flexcoders] Keeping certain attributes of the updateDisplayList while extending Label

[Shun Chu]

Hi,

I have extended the Label class by overriding the protected method
"updateDisplayList". The purpose was to allow showing different cell
colors in a dataGrid by checking the value of each dataField (if x >
10, fill with green... etc).

Now, the problem is, by overriding the "updateDisplayList" method, I
lost the ability to scale the height of each a row when there's more
data than the width allows. Or is there another way to do this without
affecting the ability to scale?

I am relatively new to Flex, so any useful comments are appreciated.
Thank you.

[flexcoders] black and white print preview

[Derrick Anderson]

hey list, i was just working on a reporting app and had a thought.  would it
be possible to give a 'black and white' preview of a ui component?

i realized that many of the reports I'm creating have many colors in the
charts and backgrounds, but that most of the prints are going to be done on
black and white laser printers.  I think it would be neat to give a black
and white view of my reports in my flex app if they specify that is where
they are printing.

anybody know how to do this?

thanks,

[flexcoders] Re: Show tooltip on click - possible?

[wesley.petrowski]

It's possible, but ugly.  I did a similar thing in a project I'm working
on where I wanted errorTips to show on focusIn/focusOut.  I created a
subclass of ToolTipManagerImpl and overrode the registerErrorTip method
- you'd want to override registerToolTip instead.  The current
implementation adds mouseOver/Out listeners to decide when to show/hide
the tooltip.  You can change this to add a click listener instead.

Then, you have to monkey patch ToolTipManager so that it uses your
ToolTipManagerImpl subclass.  In the getter for the impl property, just
change it to create a new instance of your subclass instead of checking
the Singleton registry.



That should be a start, anyway, if you're up to some hacks.

[flexcoders] opinion about flex module

[Felipe Fernandes]

Hi,

I´m working on an application that by the flex documentation it´s a
great candidate to use flex module.
It´s a big application where the user is only going to use one of its
features each time.
I´ve seen a lot modules topics on this and other lists tha I subscribe
talking about problems with this aproach so I´m not so sure anymore if
it´s a good idea to use it.
Thats why I would like to hear from who has used it what they think about it.
What are the pros and cons? Is it easy to pass information from one
module to another? and things like that.

Thanks in advanced

Our investigations seem to show that the installer can't create a
subdirectory on Mac in the documents folder, either with the name as
displayed above or as "OLE" without spaces. If we create the folder
manually, the installer is able to create the database in it. I am now
going to switch the installation location to

You can send the Array Collection that populates a DataGrid back to

what I have done is send Array objects back using AMF to the server
for consumption within your application.

You may want to use Flash Remoting (ColdFusion), BlazeDS (Java, ASP,
etc.) or LCDS to send the object back.

NOTE: If you want you can send dg.dataProvider and dg.columns to the

[flexcoders] Show tooltip on click - possible?

[Borek]

My situation is that users can hover over a help icon and get a nice
help tooltip. One problem is that this tooltip isn't displayed
immediately (there is a 0.5s lag by default) which is easily fixed by
showDelay property on ToolTipManager. However, there is this second
problem: some users click the help icon instead of just hovering over
it. This will unfortunately hide the tooltip so the action is exactly
opposite of what the users expected.

The was to fix this would be something like



which would trigger tooltip creation as usual. Unfortunately, there is
no method like that [in Flex 2] and I couldn't find any feasible
replacement. Is there any solution to this?

N.B. ToolTipManager.createToolTip() doesn't help - first of all, it
creates an instance of ToolTip (which is hardcoded which I think is
wrong - it should respect ToolTipManager.toolTipClass IMO). Second,
this method is for generic creation of arbitraty tooltips which is not
my case - I like my tooltip and just want to find a way to trigger it
other than hovering over the UIComponent with a mouse.

P.P.S In the internal ToolTipManagerImls class, there is a (private)
method createTip(). Well that sounds good except it's a private method
in an internal class...

Where do you write the database file? It's not recommended to write

RE: [flexcoders] insidious gray bar in FULLSCREEN with OS X Air app

[Jim Hayes]

Is it the status bar? If so, set the nativeWindow's showStatusBar =
false.
 
This one got me! (I felt stupid :-( )

Subject: [flexcoders] insidious gray bar in FULLSCREEN with OS X Air app
 
Greetings FC's, 

Running a Flex 3 AIR application in FULLSCREEN mode results in a gray
bar at the bottom of the screen that I can not, for the life of me,
get rid of. 

The bar is clearly the bottom component of an OS X window. I have
tried adjusting the window settings in x-app.xml, to no avail. The
problem occurs even with a maximally simple Flex app.

I have seen this on several different systems and all monitor
resolutions: it is very consistent. These are OS X 10.5 systems, the
most recent Flex and AIR downloads from Adobe. 

Has anybody else seen this problem?

Thanks big foaming heaps, 
sudsminimal

[flexcoders] Bump: problem with missing dB on Mac for AIR app

[Andrew Wetmore]

This is getting urgent. Can anyone point me to where we can start our
investigations? The installer works fine on Windows, but on Mac it
looks like the database does not get created. Therefore on Mac the app
launches, but you can't get past the registration screen.

Help help!

[flexcoders] Imported skin built using Flash doesn't work well with scale-9 and bitmaps

[João]

Hey guys,

is this a bug or a missing feature?

I have created a skin of a button on Flash CS3 using the Flex Skin
Design Extensions. After importing the skin to Flex using the import
artwork, the scale-9 grid doesn't work well if my button was skinned
using bitmaps. 

-Is this supposed to happen?
-Is there a workaround?
-Should I fill this as a bug or wanted feature on the Adobe JIRA?

Thanks,

joão SAleiro

As Alex asked, what specifically did not work? Did it throw an error?
What error? What were you trying to do that did not work? How were you
trying to do it? Could you post a snippet of code that does not work?
