Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to debug PHP side in AIR applications?
Hi there, I use Nusphere PHPEd and when set up properly it works well, every time. This is using amfphp to make remote procedure calls btw. It can be on a remote server, with the dbg extension installed, or on localhost (I use xampp). I have found that the only safe way to break into the code is to put a debugbreak() command in, I don't know what happens, but when the command is executed, it seems to try really hard to find the debugger! Works with cli php code too, even if it's run from the command line. Unfortunately it costs money... But the final environment, stepping through client side as3 on one screen and server side php on the other is pretty productive and well worth the small outlay.

Re: [flexcoders] Could AIR create an automation app?
In short, I don't think so, you are pretty much in a sand box as you run an Air app. I haven't checked the state of play with 4.5, things have maybe improved. I think that Adobe are terrified that someone will write a virus in Air! So they keep you away from all that system level stuff... All a little bit nanny state to my mind, Air should have access to the system to be a viable language IMO, no-one blames Microsoft for all the VB malware out there! I mentioned FlourineFX as a last week, it provides access to .NET but I think it only works on Windows (although it is compatible with Mono). Might be a way to do it? I'm not a .NET guy so don't know what's in there :) Regards, Pete On 08/08/2011 05:07, MicC wrote: Does AIR have enough hooks to the os to create an automation app?

Re: [flexcoders] dmv with flex4 and flexbuilder3 causes direction style problem
Hi Thomas, Glad it worked.

[flexcoders] Re: localconnection data encrypted?
It would seem that there is a network connection being used, but I have not been able to find out for sure. The localconnection allows different versions of the Flash player to communicate via AMF0. This leads me to believe that the network is being used as opposed to a shared memory model. It would be nice to know for sure, but it is now a moot point for my applications. I have taken the time to implement RSA encryption in my communication classes so that the two AIR applications exchange public keys at the time of the first Send command. Once the handshaking of public keys has been completed, the future messages are encrypted and pushed out through the use of the Send method. The receiving app then decrypts the message using its private keys. I am storing the keys in the encrypted local store. That brings up the question of just how secure is the encrypted local store? Pete
[flexcoders] Re: localconnection data encrypted?
Thanks for the info! I have not been able to find out much about this out there. I have implemented my localconnection between AIR apps like you describe, with Send and ack/nack from the receiving apps. This is all working great. I am passing data back and forth from one app to another. In my first case we have an order entry system. The second app is a financial calculator. I can push the info back and forth if needed to calculate the financing. Both apps can be used standalone, but it is great to have them working in tandem when needed. Since I was not able to find the answer, I have used the as3crypto library to implement RSA encryption. The two apps do a quick handshake of public keys at the beginning, then all remaining Sends are encrypted. The only weakness I can see in this is that I am using the Encrypted Local Store to save the RSA keys. I intend to use this same technique in communicating sensitive with back end web services. Which brings up the next question: How secure is the Encrypted Local Store? If someone can get the private key from there, it's all for nothing. Thanks! Pete
[flexcoders] localconnection data encrypted?
I am using localconnections to pass information from one AIR application to another. All of this is working fine. I understand that AMF0 is being used behind the scenes to pass the information through the localconnection send() method. Is the data encrypted? If not, I assume that I must encrypt sensitive information myself. Hope someone can help with this. Pete
[flexcoders] Re: Flex. AIR and IPhone
Guy, I agree with your comments. I've been in computing for 30 years, and it is unfortunate, but in my opinion you hit the nail on the head. The old Not Invented Here syndrome is at work. Microsoft can keep SilverFish and IE. I am sticking with Flex and AIR. The day the Microsoft buys Adobe is the day that I retire. Sorry for the rant! Pete
[flexcoders] Re: LocalConnection issue in AIR to AIR application
Hi, Kevin! To answer your earlier question, yes, the error was coming from the Send side. The error only occurs if the listening ( Connected ) application is not running and connection or if the Send( name ) specifies an incorrect name. The problem was the difficulty of the PublisherId not being available in the debugger for my Sending app while my real listening app was running ( not in the debugger ). I will try your suggestion to use the -PubId argument to ADL. It has been painful doing deployment builds to test the code, since there is no debugger available. I resorted to adding debug code to write to a log file. I now am succesfully communicating bidirectionally between my two applications and have built the handshaking, acknowlegments, etc. needed to make it useful. Thanks for the help! Pete
[flexcoders] Re: LocalConnection issue in AIR to AIR application
Hi, Kevin. Thanks for the pointer. I looked at the example in the arthropod debugger class. Unfortunately, it is only the send half of the equation. It did point me into the direction of verifying that the domain name is correct. The error I receive from the Send status event is: type=status bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 code=null level=error There is not much to go with. My test sample applications display the names used in the Connect and Send, everything seems to be in order. Not sure how I can post code here. A google search found only a few hits on the above error. One was the same post a few times about using in FLASH when the receiving swf file was not running. Another was in German, and my high school German was over 30 years ago. Any ideas about this are appreciated! Pete
[flexcoders] Re: LocalConnection issue in AIR to AIR application
Ok, I have found the issue. It seems that this event is thrown if the Send connection name does not match the name of an application that is currently accepting messages. In other words, the connection name used in Connect command on the receiver does not match, or the receiving application is not running. What was confusing to me was the way to get at the correct connection name for the Send command. On the receiver's Connect command, I used this: _InterCommAppTestB. It gets combined with app# then the domain name, in my case com.applebysw.test then the application name, InterCommAppTestB, followed by . then the publisher id, then : and then the connection name used in the Connect command, _InterCommAppTestA. The receiver's local connect .domain property gives you most of that, you just need to append the : and then the connection name. In my case, the domain is: app#com.applebysw.test.InterAppCommB.publisher id hex digits The connection name on the Send must then be: app#com.applebysw.test.InterAppCommB.publisher id hex digits._InterAppCommTestB Note that this will not work in the Flex debugger, since the publisher id is an empty string until the AIR app is signed and published. Perhaps it would work if you ran both the sending and receiving apps in the debugger at the same time, I don't have any more time for experiments with this. I was not able to make the connection work unless I used the _ prefix on the connection name. On the receiver, I also had to use either .allowDomain(*) or .allowDomain( app#com.applebysw.test.InterAppCommA.publisher id hex digits) Note that the above is the domain name of the sending app. This was confusing to me, but it worked. I hope that this saves someone else some time, it was a long day yesterday... Pete
[flexcoders] Re: LocalConnection issue in AIR to AIR application
Please note a correct to a typo in the fourth paragraph above: It gets combined with app# then the domain name, in my case com.applebysw.test then the application name, InterCommAppTestB, followed by . then the publisher id, then : and then the connection name used in the Connect command, _InterCommAppTestB. The last word previously was _InterCommAppTestA, and was not correct.

The biggest issues are NPV and IRR. NPV is a bit more complex than the

In your addStep function do:

Note, if you want to move the user to the new row and start them editing

4. Later in the development of this, I will extract the bound data

[flexcoders] Re: SWFLoader doesn't fire complete event
Thanx to all who suggested help. The answer was that using @Embed doesn't cause a 'complete' event to fire. I tried all combinations of attaching a listener for the complete event inside of creationComplete, preinitialize, etc, and complete never fired. What works is to load without embedding: mx:SWFLoader id='thisSWF' width=1200 height=400 source='deleteme.swf' complete=onComplete(); / The reason I want to know when the SWF is completely loaded is so that I can then open a localConnection to send data to the swf at startup. I'm curious what event could be used for this purpose if the swf had to be embedded. P. _ E-mail for the greater good.

[flexcoders] SWFLoader doesn't fire complete event
I have problems with getting the 'complete' event to occur in an application
I'm working on, so I wrote this:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; layout=absolute
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.events.*;
import mx.controls.Alert;
public function onComplete():void {
Alert.show('Complete!', '', Alert.OK, this);
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:SWFLoader source='@Embed(source=deleteme.swf)'
complete='onComplete()' /
/mx:Application
This doesn't work either. If I can see the swf on the screen, then why don't I
get the 'complete' event?

Re: [flexcoders] Error #2038: File I/O Error when uploading file
Charles: http://www.xk72.com/charles and ServiceCapture: http://kevinlangdon.com/serviceCapture are both excellent network sniffing proxies and are nominally priced (free trials). Both are well supported by their authors too. You will be curiously surprised by what flows back and forth over the client to server wire. Personally, I can't imagine developing and debugging Flex code on the client without fully viewing the outgoing and incoming packets. I can guarantee that you will soon wonder who you ever work without a network sniffing proxy.

[flexcoders] ProgressBar itemRenderer
Hi all,
I'm having a fair
amount of trouble getting an itemRenderer for a DataGrid to work correctly. I
have a drop down combo box that the users selects an option from then retrieves
data from a database based on that option. The data is then returned to the Flex
app and dropped in the ModelLocator (Cairngorm). I have a DataGrid that's
dataProvider property is bound to the ModelLocator. Everything in the datagrid
displays correctly except a ProgressBar itemRenderer. It will work for the first
execution, but if a different set of data (or even the same data, returned
again) is retrieved from the database it won't display correctly. I have tried
throwing an alert in the itemRenderer so I can see when it is being called, and
it seems that it is only run properly on the first execution, every attempt
after that, it doesn't fire for every record that is returned. I have tried
calling invalidateDiplayList() and validateNow() from the datagrid, but to no
avail. Does anyone have any ideas? I have posted the code for the itemRenderer
below. I put it in a HBox so that I can position it
correctly.

Hi Pete,
Not sure about the LinkButton, but I have set the icon of a PopUpButton at
runtime.
I embeded the icon:
[Embed(source='AeonGraphical.swf',
symbol='BusyCursor')]private var loadingIcon:Class;
and then used setStyle to show and remove it:
componentInstance.setStyle("icon",loadingIcon);
componentInstance.setStyle("icon",null);
