RE: [flexcoders] Re: Air File Is Damaged Error
Are you including any other files in the package? I seem to remember that certain characters in their file names could cause this problem. Maybe an ampersand ??? I'm sorry, it was quite a while ago and I've forgottten exactly which char(s) caused it for me. There was a bug open on it at the time as I remember. Maybe worth having a quick scan through and see if theres anything unusual in there? An .air file is basically a .zip achive, by the way, if you need to look inside - take a copy and rename It to.zip These damaged errors seem to occur when the archive cannot be expanded, so a lack of space in your temp directory can also cause this. You can log the process by placing a file called .airappinstall.log in your home directory, by the way - the install process will be logged to that, so it may give you a litte more info as to the cause. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of James Sent: 12 February 2010 15:48 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Air File Is Damaged Error I don't think so.

RE: [flexcoders] Escaping slashes in a file name in AIR
I have no idea if this actually would work, but something like this? private var origUrl:String private function saveFile():void { var f:File = new File(); origUrl = f.url; f.addeventlistener(Event.SELECT,onfileselected) f.browseForSave(blah); } private function onfileselected(event:Event) { var f:File = event.target as File; // compare f.url with origUrl to get some sort of relative path in order to escape the path delimiters and save it as a file. } Sorry, I'm just off to bed or I'd run it up, but would be interested to know if it does work at all. Thanks! putting a / in a filename, no matter how it's rendered by the OS seems pretty stupid to me, however. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com on behalf of seanmcmonahan Sent: Tue 1/19/2010 7:04 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Escaping slashes in a file name in AIR So this is a problem that's not really a problem yet it is. I think it's best explained with an example: A user wants to save a file so we open the save dialog box via File.browseForSave(). User then selects a folder my folder and types in a name like my/file/with/slashes.txt and hits the save button. What happens is AIR interprets this as save a file slashes.txt in the folder my folder/my/file/with. To me this seems perfectly reasonable and correct. In fact, I would say this IS the correct behavior. However my users feel that what should happen is that a file with the name my/file/with/slashes.txt should be saved out in my folder. I haven't tested on Windows but on Mac OS using Safari and Chrome the user's expected behavior is what happens. In Firefox the slashes are converted to underscores. This leads me to believe that these browsers are all getting the name back and escaping the slashes. In AIR I'm not seeing anyway to get the filename and escape it as the select that is fired when the user clicks save returns a File object with a name property set to slashes.txt -- that is, whatever is after the last slash. Does anyone know how to capture the filename and escape slashes or is that just not going to happen? __ This communication is from Primal Pictures Ltd., a company registered in England and Wales with registration No. 02622298 and registered office: 4th Floor, Tennyson House, 159-165 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5PA, UK.

RE: [flexcoders] Ant Task to Build Air Package
I have this : java jar=${ADT.JAR} fork=true failonerror=true arg value=-package/ arg value=-storetype/ arg value=${STORETYPE}/ arg value=-keystore/ arg value=${AIR_CERT_PATH}/ arg value=-keypass/ arg value=${KEY_PASSWORD}/ arg value=-storepass/ arg value=${KEY_PASSWORD}/ So it looks like I'm using -keypass as well as -storepass , with the same password.

RE: [flexcoders] Custom icon in air installer
That's just the standard application icon that you set in the app descriptor file, I believe. It normally works just fine for me in flex. Do you have no image there, or an incorrect one? (something to note, if you make a new application package with an updated icon and install it over the top of an old one, then the old icon will be shown on that second installer screen - in my experience at least. Run the new installer a second time to see the new icon as you would on a clean install) -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com on behalf of Dave Cates Sent: Mon 9/28/2009 9:52 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Custom icon in air installer Almost...it¹s the second screen of the installer (the screen after the one you linked).

RE: [flexcoders] How to add files when exporting air application
In flexbuilder, to get those files into your .air package, try the following : Either tick copy non embedded files to output folder in project|properties|flex compiler, and with a bit of luck when you publish your .air from FB they will appear in the Air file contents screen included files list for you to check or uncheck as necessary. Personally I find this way to be not quite fitting with my sloppy ways, and sometimes seemed a little unreliable. The other option is to get to that screen (keep hitting Next button), whereby the bin-release folder will be created, then copy your extra files into that. Hit back button in the export screen, then next to get back to where you were, only this time you should see and be able to include your files. Both of these get old fairly quickly if you need to do it a lot, I found that an ant script saved me a ton of time and aggro for compiling and packaging air projects. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of reflexactions Sent: 16 September 2009 13:11 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] How to add files when exporting air application If I want to add swf modules or a compiled css file that are all extern (ie there is no explicit reference to them in the actual application code) and will be loaded at run time to an AIR package how do I do it?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Is Adobe Customer Support (or worse yet adobe) falling apart
Mmmm, just taken me 3/4 hour to get though after a wait of 2 weeks odd for a reply on the support portal which asked me to ring. I've been told that AIR is a free product and outside their remit to provide support on my issue. The perfectly nice guy was unable to give me any help on where to take it from there, so I've just had to continue with the online thing. Well, I do support myself and appreciate the difficulties even for a small company, but just the same...

(for what it's worth, I think it's most likely something to do with me the SDK used for compilation (probably 3.2 but I'd need to check), but could be very wrong there) On a related point - anyone know who to speak to getting to be an AIR beta tester? I've requested it online specifically and each time I've done the AIR reditribution agreement - never heard anything. In this particular case AIR was updated pretty well right on our shipping date and I had no time to resolve it - I've I'd been testing before the release I might have caught and fixed it first. We normally release a disk every month or so, so it's an ongoing issue, however. Friday, 7 August 2009 11:53:35 o'clock BST Following the recent update to AIR runtime 1.5.2 I'm experiencing some issues with the built in app updater on windows platforms tha t I've not seen prior to this release. I'm using flash.desktop.Updater.Updater.update() directly on a downloaded .air update package. on windows Vista and windows 7, the update runs , but suffers a GUI freeze and eventually needs to be forcibly stopped via task mana ger. The new update is actually installed, but it seems that there is some difficulty after that, I'm guessing with removing temp files c reated in that process. I've attached a copy of .airappinstall.log taken after force quitting the update installer (Which had run for twenty minutes - norma ly it would be complete in one or two) on WIndows XP, everything appears to be fine, but a temp file is left in [installDirectory]\META-INF\AIR. This is also the case in vista/7, upon inspection this temp file contains our publisherID. Unfortunately, if you uninstall the application then this temp file gets left behind, meaning a subsequent install of the applicatio n is unable to install to the same directory unless you manually delete this stray temp file.

It needs to represent all of the pages on a given site. I already have a good working prototype using XML as the dataprovider and i have a good chunk of the drag and drop functions working well. The problem I am having is around the dragdrop handler. I need to be able to move any page to anywhere on the tree, including below (as a child of) any other page in addition to being able to reorder pages on the same level (same parent node) I can get it to do one or the other but not both at the same time. As far as I can tell, Flex doesn't recognize the difference between a drop on a node and a drop between two nodes. As I think this would solve my problem. Has anyone tackled this problem before?

RE: [flexcoders] Moving a viewStack through actionscript
, I'd learn about dispatching custom events. It's not that complicated but it takes some time to understand. Raising some events from the question components strikes me as being a whole lot easier than dealing with addressing all the different objects through the heirarchy! But then when I first started out with flex I didn't know that and tried to do pretty well the same sort of thing. You could probably google and read enough on custom events to do what you need in an hour or two, you'd more than likely spend much more time trying to work out your current problems than that, I'd guess.

You have checkSingle on the module and not the Viewstack. In that case, you should be able to do parent.parent.checkSingle and leave out the cast as test1. So public var testMod:Object = parent.parent; The last one failed because it was trying to convert a viewstack into a test1 which of course isn't a viewstack. But I'm not sure about this one because the parent.parent is a module. You could also forgo using the testMod variable and in your click declaration instead of click=testMod.checkSingle(group1.selectedValue) use click=parent.parent.checkSingle(group1.selectedValue) / Hopefully that'll work for you. If you have a little time to invest, and if you may be doing more Flex apps in the future, even though this one is not going to be a full-on huge app, I'd learn about dispatching custom events.

RE: [flexcoders] distributing air apps without install
That's slightly different, in that case the app *is* installed. As far as I know, the AIR runtime and the app* must be installed on the local system, as opposed to a totally standalone application. The shu player used to temporarily install both to the users temp directory and run them from there, but something about something about their initial system conflicted with the adobe licence agreement. I gather they've resolved that with their latest version, but I've not tried the latest one to see what it does now. * Can I zip the directory of an installed air app and distribute it to users for them to decompress and run without having to install? Actually I did get that to sort of work (if the user already had the air runtime installed) on windows a long time ago, not sure whether it would now. However, although the app ran, various things were rather broken, like applicationStorage Directory and similar (from memory, I could be wrong). Which is kind of what I would expect, on reflection.

RE: [flexcoders] tree control finding patent node
This actually from a change event, but an itemClicked one is very similar ... (It presumes that you use xml as the dataprovider for the tree, and listen for the event by adding 'change=onTreeChange(event)' in your trees attributes ) private function onTreeChange(event:ListEvent):void { var targetTree:Tree = event.target as Tree; var item:XML = XML(targetTree.selectedItem); var theParent:XML = item.parent(); } It does seem a bit unintuitive to get an XML object, but normally that works fine for what you're likely to want to do, I've found.

Well, I believe the syntax is correct, at least!

RE: [flexcoders]TextLayoutFramework - support for graphics / swfs?
Forgive me for asking, Gordon, but could you give an idea of the status of support for tables and lists (li, ol, ul sort of thing) ? I appreciate you may not be able to comment, but if you are then any information would be most welcome.

Rather than attempt what for me would be quite a testing project (to say the least) that could be obsoleted by that release, that's to say.

A1: This is under investigation, but may not make it into TLF 1.0 / Flex 4.0. If it gets in, what will be supported will probably be a 'float' attribute on the img tag, allowing a graphic within the text to be pinned to the left or right of the container -- but vertically positioned based on where it appears in the TextFlow -- with the text wrapping around it. Wrapping text around an absoloutely-positioned graphic will almost certainly not be supported in the first release. A2: You should be able to set the 'source' of an img to a SWF.

It's worth noting that some OS's (e.g Vista) won't allow you to change files in the application directory in any case, so you should be copying the db to the users application storage directory if you're to avoid problems with a published app. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com on behalf of beriahotep Sent: Sat 17/01/2009 08:32 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Saving data permanently to Sqlite DB Hi, I am having alot of trouble saving data to an Sqlite db.

[flexcoders] Can I detect the flash player version targeted by the compiler ( -target-player ? ) in my code
Apologies if this is a stupid question, but it's late, I'm tired and all out of brain cells :( I have an application with largely common code base that gets compiled to both AIR 1.5 (e.g. flash player 10) application and flash player in a web browser. I keep a separate flexbuilder project for both, each project shares the common code as an external code path. Normally I'll just use FB for debugging, to compile a release I'll use ANT to pull in varying resources as necessary. I now wish to add some flash player 10 features (pixel bender, specifically) to the AIR app, but keep the online flash player version wholly flash player 9 compatible. I'm not yet ready to serve up a different .swf based on the users player version, I'm afraid, though I am thinking about it. So, I've implemented a factory class to provide the relevant classes according to the target, but can't quite put my hand on what I should test for. Capabilities.version gives me run time info about the player version that the user has, but not what the swf is compiled for. What I'd really like is the player version targeted by the compiler (either by the compiler argument -target-player or flexbuilder require flash player version , if they are different.) I'm quite tempted to add my own -define argument to the compiler since I'm fairly sure that will do what I require, but if there is something already there that I can use then I'd prefer to do so. were I to go with my own define it would look something like this : compiler argument something like -define=PLAYERCONFIG::ISPLAYER10,true and in the factory something like this : var imagingClassName:String = Flashplayer9compatibleClass; PLAYERCONFIG::ISPLAYER10 { imagingClassName = Flashplayer10compatibleClass; } // myClass:object = getClassBydefinition(imagingClassName ), return new myClass() etc etc Failing that, I can still achieve my aim by taking the factory class out of the common code for each project and writing an implementation for each version, but I was quite keen to go down the conditional route in this instance. Many thanks in advance for any advice (comments to rtfm are very welcome if they come complete with a url or a good hint as to where :) ). I'm not totally convinced that I'm even heading in the right direction here tbh, but at least if I knew how to do this then I could try it out for size. __ This communication is from Primal Pictures Ltd., a company registered in England and Wales with registration No. 02622298 and registered office: 4th Floor, Tennyson House, 159-165 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5PA, UK.

RE: [flexcoders] flex builder 3 on mini notebooks
I've got an eee901 with that spec, and it's an OK little machine for when I'm out and about and want low weight, small size and long battery. Performance is not so bad for what it is, but I've never bothered running flexbuilder on it. When I started with flexbuilder 2 I ran it on a 1.6 single core pentium m with less memory (768 I think) and it was just about bearable, so I don't doubt that you could run it. However, the usual screen size on these netbooks (1024 x 600ish) would make FB a real struggle in terms of usability even if you are happy for it to be running a little slow. You can get a cheap 15 laptop with dual core and more memory for not so much more these days, if you're going to run FB more than once or twice I think that would be a wiser choice. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com on behalf of hworke Sent: Fri 02/01/2009 18:09 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] flex builder 3 on mini notebooks Hi now a days the stores are full of those $300 to $500 mini notebooks with intel atom processor and up to 1 GB memory.

RE: [flexcoders] mxmlc | Java heap space
In Flexbuilder : windows | preferences | java | installed JREs (select the JRE), edit, enter something like -Xmx512M in the default VM arguments field Is what has worked for me in the past.

I have a feeling that ANT_OPTS may be a more specific way of increasing memory available to ANT only, no idea if you can set it as above - I'm very far from expert in these things.

RE: [flexcoders] Is Flex the wrong technology for widgets? SWF file sizes are too big...
(so I don't know) how small I could get the file size for a comparable solution in Flash. Is that the question that you really wanted the answer to? The answer to that will depend on what your widget actually is/does. Without knowing that, I don't see how anyone can really offer an opinion on the likely fize size savings. If you could post a url for what you have then it would probably help you get a more useful answer. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of devenhariyani Sent: 17 December 2008 01:10 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Is Flex the wrong technology for widgets? SWF file sizes are too big... Hey guys, I recently posted a thread on a popular widget platform site to get developer feedback. Basically, I've created a widget using Flex technology, and since I cannot get the SWF file size down to a size 100KB I'm wondering if Flex was the wrong technology for my project. I'm not very familiar with Flash, so I don't know how small I could get the file size for a comparable solution in Flash. Below is the original thread. --- I've created a widget using Adobe's Flex technology which has a SWF file size of approx. 350KB. I've optimized the widget using all the techniques I could find such as: compiler flags, not embedding assets into the SWF, dynamic loading of modules, etc. Assuming 350KB is the smallest I can get my SWF file, is this still too big to distribute as a widget? Here are two distribution strategies we are looking at: 1.) Put the widget on a majority of the pages on our website so when users come to our website they will see the widget and download it.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How do I include a file in the AIR app-storage directory at install time?
If you're using flexbuilder to package, then probably the easiest way is to check copy non embedded files to output folder in project | properties | flex compiler, But I find this to be a bit messy at times. If not, then you can kind of cheat. When you publish your .air file, it will offer you the choice of files to include in the archive. If you click back at this point then you have the opportunity (outside of flexbuilder) to copy any files you need to the bin-release folder that gets temporarily created as part of the publishing operation. Back in flexbuilder, click next again and you'll be back in the stage where you can specify files to include, but now you'll have the opportunity to select the files you just copied to bin-release. This, however, gets old pretty quickly! I now have an ant build script that packages everything up for me, without having to think / remember to copy certain files. I'm not sure if my script is generic enough or even clear enough to be much help to anyone though, to be honest I found it quite hard work to get it all working from a nil level of ant knowledge/experience. If there's anything specific you need to ask on that, however, then I'll do my best (Though I'm sure many people on the list are better qualified than myself in that respect). In regard of copying it over, you'll need to check if the file is there when the app starts, and copy it if not. There's not any scripting in the Air installer itself. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jim Boone Sent: 15 December 2008 13:36 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: How do I include a file in the AIR app-storage directory at install time?

RE: [flexcoders] Flex Builder caching PNGs
From what I can tell FB will not detect changes in files (images, and I believe css files) by itself, so if you change one then run/debug it will think nothings different and just show the last compiled version. When I'm doing stuff like that, I've got into the habit of just adding/deleting a space character to one of the mxml or .as files in the project, which FB will then notice and force a recompile that *does* update the resource in the build. It's at least easier than renaming a whole file. If there's a better way then I'm unaware of it I'm afraid.

getQualifiedClassName() in flash.utils should tell you what the object is, I think, and to pass in any completely unknown object type your parameter should be typed as object.

Check the free disk space on the XP machine first. The .air file needs to have space into which to expand it's contents before the actual installation.

I seem to remember the image component does that. You might try Ely Greenfields (?) superImage component instead, as I remember it keeps it's own cache.

But everytime the displayed image changes because i changed the source attribute (for example when my button is disabled) there is a timegap and the image is empty.

RE: [flexcoders] AIR write file - prepended with irregular character
I was almost certainly wrong about the BOM thing. The docs say : writeUTF () method public function writeUTF(value:String):void Writes a UTF-8 string to the file stream, byte stream, or byte array. The length of the UTF-8 string in bytes is written first, as a 16-bit integer, followed by the bytes representing the characters of the string. So I think those chars you see at the beginning are the length information from using writeUTF(). Try using writeUTFBytes() instead? -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com on behalf of Jim Hayes Sent: Tue 28/10/2008 21:06 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] AIR write file - prepended with irregular character I've seen this.

That can be for all manner of reasons I'm afraid, there is a way that you can log the installer in order to get more information. I don't have the details to hand, but it's along the lines of putting a correctly named text file in the right place in your profile folder.

I have created a simple example to show you how I use WebOrb. On my server I have the WebORB directory at the root level. In the Services directory I have a MyServices directory and in this directory I have a ValueObjects directory. For this example I have two files: = TestNamesInVO.php: ?php class TestNamesInVO { public $FirstName; public $LastName; public function __construct($FirstName, $LastName) { $this-FirstName = $FirstName; $this-LastName = $LastName; } } ? = TestNamesOutVO.php: ?php class TestNamesOutVO { public $FullName; public function __construct($FullName) { $this-FullName = $FullName; } } ? = The constructors are there just to make it easier to create a new object. They are optional. In the MyServices directory I have a TestService.php file. This contains all the functions available with this service. = TestService.php: ?php class TestService { function ShowMe() { return Tom Jones; } function ShowName($name) { return 'Hello ' . $name; } function ShowNames(TestNamesInVO $namesIn) { require_once(ValueObjects/TestNamesInVO.php); require_once(ValueObjects/TestNamesOutVO.php); $fullName = new TestNamesOutVO($namesIn-FirstName . . $namesIn-LastName); return $fullName; } } ? = In flex I also have a ValueObjects folder underneath my src folder. This folder contains the corresponding ActionScript files for the value objects on the server: = TestNamesInVO.as: package ValueObjects { [RemoteClass(alias=MyServices.ValueObjects.TestNamesInVO)] [Bindable] public class TestNamesInVO { //instance variables private var _FirstName:String; private var _LastName:String; //accessor methods public function get FirstName():String {return _FirstName;} public function get LastName():String {return _LastName;} //mutator methods public function set FirstName(FirstName:String):void {_FirstName = FirstName;} public function set LastName(LastName:String):void {_LastName = LastName;} } // end class }//end package = TestNamesOutVO.as: package ValueObjects { [RemoteClass(alias=MyServices.ValueObjects.TestNamesOutVO)] [Bindable] public class TestNamesOutVO { //instance variables private var _FullName:String; //accessor methods public function get FullName():String {return _FullName;} //mutator methods public function set FullName(FullName:String):void {_FullName = FullName;} } // end class }//end package = Note the RemoteClass metadata. This tells flex the location of the class on the server that matches this class (In relation to the Services directory). Finally we have the Flex application that makes calls to functions within this service.

This question is really part of a larger ball of stuff I'm trying to untangle. Basically, the first part is that if I have this: [Embed(source=logo.png)] public var logo:Class; ... var img:Image = new Image; img.source = logo; Is there any way to get a ByteArray from img that can be fed to Loader? Unfortunately, I'm stuck with Loader. If you really want to know, I'm trying to mess with a TextArea that has htmlText with an img tag in it. I want to switch the img tag to switch between different images that are embedded in the SWF. As far as I can tell, there's no way to tell an img tag to load an image out of the SWF. Feel free to correct me on that. Because of some features of the environment, I really want to embed the images and not load them from the local file system or over the network. Eventually, I actually want to replace the PNG with an SVG. This is part of why I'm wanting to have the files embedded. But I know this will bring further challenges, as SVG is a vector format and I will have to get a raster rendering of the SVG at a certain size before I can ever expect to feed it to Loader. But I'm trying to take it one giant hurdle at a time.

RE: [flexcoders] Can't remember the name of the application.
Maybe flexSpy? http://www.riapedia.com/2008/01/02/flexspy_modify_and_inspect_all_visual _flex_components http://code.google.com/p/fxspy/ -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mikhail Shevchuk Sent: 09 September 2008 09:52 To: Flex Subject: [flexcoders] Can't remember the name of the application. Hello, flexcoders! There is a library or some tool that can be embedded into your application that lets user to see the description of a given component. The feature of that tool is that it shows this information in runtime. User just hovers(or something like this) over a button for example and tooltip with the info bubbles out. I have a set of nested containers and one of them has undesired scrollers there, so I would like to know which of them is guilty :) That is the reason I am searching this tool. This is pretty frequent operation I have in my work so I'd like to optimize this job with this tool. Thanks in advance. -- m. | http://creationcomplete.com http://creationcomplete.com __ This communication is from Primal Pictures Ltd., a company registered in England and Wales with registration No. 02622298 and registered office: 4th Floor, Tennyson House, 159-165 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5PA, UK.
