if you have more than one definition of a class you are trying to shim into the main applicationdomain. But if you can guarantee there isn't conflicts for a particular test scenario, then maybe you can test by loading into the main app domain. From: Nigel Magnay nigel.mag...@gmail.com Reply

We are using RIAtest, which uses flex automation to test some applications. Reading the flex documentation, it contains the following: Testing applications that load external libraries ... A library that is loaded at run time (including run-time shared libraries (RSLs)) must be loaded into the

In mx:Datagrid, you can easily declare that a column uses the enter key, so you can enter multiline text into it. Basically, exactly this: http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/09/30/using-a-flex-textarea-control-as-a-drop-in-item-editor/ (see how you can hit enter in the grid cell, and enter

[flexcoders] Frustrations with the profiler - analyzing memory usage.

We have an application that is leaking memory. Sadly, trying to diagnose this with the flex profiler (4.6, 4.7) is proving to be a frustrating experience. I've picked on one object class to try and understand what is going on. We have a wizard-style dialog box with a sidebar control 'wizardlinks'

Adobe’s focus for FlashBuilder is on building ActionScript gaming and premium video projects that run on the Flash player. I think many people assumed that the driver was legacy in-browser flex apps, plus AIR apps for mobile devices. That the older, legacy support had been farmed out to

[flexcoders] Flex, updateDisplayList and clipping.

2011-12-07 Thread Nigel Magnay
Hi. I have a component that uses the Graphics primitives in the updateDisplayList. It does lots of text outputting, so it uses the technique of having a single UITextField, getting the bitmap data and bitmapFill-ing it to the canvas. Adding multiple first-class components to the canvas is just

[flexcoders] 3rd party RSLs ?

Would I be correct in saying that any RSLs that my SWF uses must be compiled with (exactly) the same version of the SDK ? I have an SWC that I'm using as an RSL rather than linking directly, and it's bombing out with VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of getPollSyncMessageResponder in

I've just been updating our build to use the latest Flexmojos 4.1-beta, and to use RSL versions of the 4.5.1 flex framework. To do this, I've included all the dependencies in a manual, correct order, so that the RSL load order is correct. I've even manually added entries to get the correct

Hi We have a flex3 app, part of which has a dialog box from which the user can pick a particular graph-type component to add to their display. Internally, this is generated with an mx:Tile list, where the dynamic list of children is created then addChild()-ed to the tile. This seems fine - but
