Life is short. Microsoft is aggressive, and HTML5 looms. Without cross-platform support for developers and users Flex and the Flash Platform can't compete. Flex had a decent chance to become more than a promising product, but the end of that opportunity is in sight. Without strong Linux

IntelliJ IDEA for Flex, even v9M1 (Maia), doesn't quite work properly :( You can see for yourself: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/nextversion/ It's been a while, but the issues remain. Maia seems stalled. A free policy for open source projects would speed adoption of any IDE; also a free

Thank you for the information. It is helpful to understand. Because I want to size the player at the start of loading the file, and I do not want to have to rearrange the contents of every file that is uploaded, I think a server-side Java program that reads the metadata and sends it to a custom

[flexcoders] mx:VideoDisplay does not return QuickTime metadata

2009-06-10 Thread Michael Slinn
The docs say that mx:VideoDisplay should play MOV files with Flash Player 10. I created a file with QuickTime Pro 7. I can see that the MOV file loads, but the metatdata property is null, and videoHeight and videoWidth are zero. Not only that, but onMetaDataReceived(event) is never invoked:

Cornel, You are doing the opposite of what I am doing. Instead of letting the compiler generate the code to read the XML configuration files, and then examining the variables, I am attempting to set the XML directly and configure BlazeDS that way, without using data files bound into the SWF.

Cornel, Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I realized I was checking the wrong directory for disk activity. Flex Builder does not probe the Root Folder that Flex Builder presents in Project Properties / Flex Server, it probes the deployment folder, which resides in the workspace. My test

That produces a null result, as it should. The problem seems to be with the call to ServerConfig.getChannel(channelName). As I trace through the call, I see a call to ServerConfig.createChannel('my-amf'). It evaluates xml.channels.channel.(@id == channelId); which of course returns nothing

I imagined that Flex Builder validates a J2EE project by writing a file into the root folder, and reading it back via the root URL, but when I used SysInternals FileMon and a TCP monitor to check, I did not see any such activity. Exactly how does the Validate Configuration button perform
