When I hit F11 I'm getting this message: File not found: flashplayer. No
more explanations given. Any ideas of what went wrong? (I'm on Linux, and of
course I have flash player...)
Ah, sorry, it seems like the problem is I'm on x86_64, and there is no
standalone debugger for that... how strange... Anyways, does anyone have an
idea on how to make 32-bit standalone debugger work on 64 bit Linux?
Ant generally requires only JRE (some extensions may require other things,
but, if you have Flex / Flash Builder, chances are you already have JRE).
Both your variants are... strange... you use literal and create a new object
by passing it an already created object...
var xml:XML = foo{bar}/foo;
This is how you'd normally do it. E4X uses couple of special opcodes
allocated only for it, so, my guess that using E4X expressions for
constructing
I believe it's somewhere in the context menu of the file in the project
view. It should say something like Copy to output folder. Sorry, I don't
have FB at this machine atm. Could be the assets weren't embedded originally
and this setting suck to them since they were loaded at runtime?
If you make the class bindable, the compiler will extend it from
EventDispatcher, or implement IEventDispatcher, this means you can use all
event dispatcher methods in that class. However, making a class bindable
isn't the best coding practice, I'd rather do it by hand, it' be a more
obvious code.
The definition for Sprite is in playerglobals.swc. However, you are asking
wrong question. You cannot compile an AS3 project w/o SDK, or you would need
at least an alternative compiler, and only one that exists is the one
developed by SWFTools few years ago. But it's outdated now... so,
You need to package the application using ADT, and launch it for testing
using ADL. AIR runtime is different from player and it has more classes, one
of them is NativeApplication. Player doesn't have that, so, you cannot run
the SWF compiled for AIR in the player because some classes won't be
{sdk}/frameworks/libs/air
look there for swc files. airglobal.swc is the must, all the rest are
optional, or so I think.
You shouldn't send sensitive data to begin with, you need to calculate it on
server and call saveHighScore() without parameters, so only server will know
what the score was. No matter what your client technology is, the client
cannot be trusted.

By the way, while you are on it... sometimes the window opened by

@id must be a simple identifier, it's the same as variable name in AS3. What
you can do though is like this: add creationComplete handler to the
repeating components and collect them into vector / array / dictionary /
etc, whatever suites you better. Something like this:
mx:Array id=labels/
mx:Array id=labels/
mx:Repeater id=rp dataProvider={[0, 1, 2, 3]}
mx:Label
mx:creationComplete
var event:Event = arguments[0] as Event;
this.labels.push(event.currentTarget);
/mx:creationComplete
/mx:Label
/mx:Repeater
* Sorry, incorrect opening and closing tags.
Exactly, what Gk said.
You can make it difficult to forge the data on client, but you cannot 100%
prevent it from being cracked, so, better, keep the score on the server.
Remove the single quotes and put the brackets around the entire expression.
You cannot bind to function arguments, not in that way for sure.
Better yet, don't use binding:
mx:LinkButton label=more enabled=true themeColor=#FF2A00
mx:click
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(data.link));
Claudiu:
That's exactly what my code does...
Gustavo:
Read what the error says. You are trying to coerce String to URLRequest. Of
course you cannot do it. The code from the first example should work. If it
didn't, what was the problem?
Hey, np, sleep more, work less - profit! ;)
Despite this whole FP issue coming back into fashion in the last years,
there's really no use for that in ECMAScript-like languages. Every piece of
code you can write using nested functions can be rewritten in a way that no
nested functions will be used and the program will work better.
I'm not
You cannot really have custom types in AS3 or any other ECMAScript language.
I'd go for a class with 2 fields for integer and string.
The one that comes with this SDK: 4.0.0.14159 (this is what was released
with Flash Builder 4).
I've compiled from trunk (it has revision 17228), and the DimensionEvent is
still there, in the osfm.swc, check the catalog.xml line 957.
Did you try to change the order they are included?
OK, I've just checked and DimensionEvent is compiled into osmf.swc, so, my
guess is that you need to include that library too. The dependency is made
through VideoDisplay spark component, however, you cannot avoid making that
dependency, it's introduced in the generated code.
If I can guess, then, probably you've loaded the SWF into the same domain,
and if the URLs were relative to the loaded SWF they become relative to the
loading SWF. Does it make sense?
When you embed an image, the path is resolved relative to the file, where
you put the Embed meta. If you load it, the path is resolved relatively to
the file that loads an image.
Julian. That's really not so relevant... if you embed an image, the image
goes inside SWF, when you load it, it remains outside of the SWF, just lives
somewhere on the HD. When loading, the way you load a SWF may affect the how
the player will resolve relative URLs. I believe, that if the SWF is
Load them and draw to a single bitmapdata and then unload? Anyways, just out
of curiosity, what kind of application would need to display that many
images at once?
Just have one Loader and one Bitmap (or probably 16 or about that number in
the second case). When you handle the load complete you get the loader's
content and draw it to the bitmapdata, remember where it was the last time,
load next image, draw again and so on... However it will work, I would
That's not a call, that's an import. You are missing sources or SWC in your
project.
Do you expect value.item to be an XML with a single root node? If so,
trace() isn't going to print out the contents of that node. Use
trace(value.item.toXMLString()) instead.
You can do that with Ant. Just compile the same project twice with different
settings.
Maybe someone will correct me... but I think that the antTask from the SDK
doesn't cache do the iterative compilation, so that's why it may be slower.
This may not be the best technique, but I build with Ant in a way, I set it
as an alternative builder... so, it's the same as running the Ant
1. Using weak references is the last thing you should do, whenever possible
you should avoid it. By doing so you leave all means of control of the

Well, that wasn't a good idea from the start, as instance name isn't a
reliable identification (you can assign two identical names to different

Hm... this is a good point... however, I think that you can secure yourself

Events bubble up (from child to parent, but not the other way). You must
explicitly dispatch a bubbling event in order for it to bubble (bubbling is
expensive in terms of performance). SWIZ uses couple of different techniques
to bind the dispatchers and listeners, one of those techniques is to add
[foo, bar, foobar].join(\r);
Use FileReference instead? Or call some JavaScript so it could call back to
Flash?
FileReference.save availability depends on the player version, the version
of the SDK or Flex Builder doesn't affect that.
Regarding JavaScript, I'd go for an iframe, which would load try to navigate
to the URL to the file you want to load and then a script in the parent

Anything like this?
E4X prints the content of self closing nodes as an empty string (if it's not
the root node). You may want to use toXMLString() to print the structure of
the node.
E4X always reduces the foo/foo kind of nodes to foo/ because first is
redundant and ambiguous. It is not clear whether the first kind is in fact
two nodes - an element node with a child text node with the value of empty
string, or is it a single element node. It is also longer than needed, if it
If those are simple dynamic objects you can write them to ByteArray and
compare them, it will be faster than using ObjectUtils.
Everything in AS, except for numeric types (but not Date), strings and
booleans are references, Array.indexOf() uses strict equality (compares
references), so even if
You can do pretty well with only two ByteArrays,

var ba1:ByteArray = new ByteArray();

ba1.writeObject( ... );
if (ba0.length !== ba1.length) // objects are different
len =
var ba0:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
var ba1:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
var len:int;
var tail:int;
for ( ... )
{
ba0.writeObject( ... );
ba1.writeObject( ... );
if (ba0.length !== ba1.length) // objects are different
len = (ba0.length 2) 2;

Duh! Gmail isn't the best place to write the code! :)

Hey, you are welcome so far it works! :) I'm only afraid of the situation

is supposed to work. (I tried to initialize the properties in different
ObjectUtils sorts them on purpose, that's a bit different ;)
Woops, sorry, it appears that objects created using new Object syntax are
sorted differently from objects created using literal...

o.bar = 345;
o.foo = 123;
var result:Array = this.removeDuplicates(
[
{ foo:123, bar:345 },
{ foo:123, bar:345, foobar:789 },
{ foo:123,
Well, then my take would be this: since you are sending them from CF, you
are probably using AMF, and since you do so, you can use strongly typed
objects, and (again, I'm not sure but...) I think that strongly typed
objects are written accordingly to their describeType - this means objects

Hi, does anyone else experience the same thing? Having to close-open all
browser windows only to be able to remove old traces from the log
is extraordinarily annoying. This was a bug in AIR once ago, now it happens
with both AIR and player.
Check that you have minor player version specified and it is exactly 01.
To check this compile with -dump-config and look for the player version
there.
It is also possible that your SDK doesn't have the required
playerglobals.swc. If this is the case, download it from Adobe labs site.
Can you cd to the sdk root and then ls it and paste here the results?
$ cd ~/flex/sdk
$ ls
(something like this)
It sounds like you maybe didn't extract that into a proper folder / removed
something accidentally.
Another idea:
- try compiling from command line, will it compile? If it won't
This is called type inference, it exists in several languages, C# would be
one the most popular, HaXe would be the one most close to AS.
@Rick Genter:
It depends, most probably the compiler would give you an error/warning
because of ambiguous code, and if not - would choose a common denominator
No, that's different from type inference. Type inference preserves strict
typing. It is most useful for anonymous classes or templates. That is the
cases when it is preferred to let compiler to decide on the type of a
variable.
Think of retrieving values from the database and wanting to have
Hi, they are in the repository in the same folder. I think that the better
way to use it is like so:
var list:DataList = DataList.fromArray([1, 2, 3], int);
or
var list:DataList = DataList.fromVector(new int[1, 2, 3]);
Can the player display the SWF otherwise?
How did you get the SWF you are trying to embed?
Some issues you may want to check:
- SWF contains newer tags then the SDK can handle (DefineFont4 for example
cannot be handled in SDK 3.2).
- SWF contains shape tweens - some such tweens will cause the SDK
This mostly happens when you forget var keyword but you intend to put it.

Look up the manual on describeType. Note that local variables type isn't
possible to get at runtime.
Nope, sorry Amy, it's not possible to get the type of a local variable, you
can only get the type of a value it references. Example:
function foo():void {
var bar:IBitmapDrawable = new BitmapData();
}
you can only know what the type of the value is ( BitmapData ) the type of
the bar variable
Well, it's not exactly like that... the type of the local variable is
checked at compile time. Later on local variables kind of don't exist,
that is the bytecode doesn't have a concept of get local function variable
strict because what's used is the address. I.e. take for example something
as
If you build that with Ant you may just ignore that and use your own

I think that it says on the nochump site that it is not the fastest. In
fact, using BiteArray.compress() with deflate would be the fastest, but
that's only if you can use FP10.
If it ever worked that may be because of the patched compiler /
preprocessor, and so all dispatchEvent calls were translated to what is
marked as [Dispatcher]. Maybe it does the same as [Bindable] on class, or
maybe like HaXe using directive. Otherwise - just a confusing piece of
code... Well, you

If you are adding handlers to events dispatched by the objects that are

UIComponent and it has almost every method overridden and to tell you the
truth I just don't know what happens when these handlers are added or
