[flexcoders] Auto include of compile date within SWF

[bbloggs96]

I want the ability of being able to display within a flex app the date
of compilation of the swf file from the Flex code.

Is this achievable?

I remember from using VB 6 many years ago that you could set your own
version number and have it increment every time the VB was compiled to
an exe. Ideally I want this but I think it is impossible, so I will
make do with date / time if possible.

[flexcoders] Amazing tool for Flex (Firebug for Flex)

[bbloggs96]

I just discovered this Library, that can be added into your Flex app.

It is fantastic, easy to add to your project, and just works:

It is like Firebug but for Flex, I particularly liked the find
component functionality!

[flexcoders] Error in Adobe class MultiTopicConsumer

[bbloggs96]

I am using the MultiTopicConsumer with Blaze.

I have had problems with removeSubscription, it gives me an error when
I remove the last subtopic in the array of subscriptions. It works OK
if any other subtopic is removed.

I tracked down the problem to the actual Adobe Class
MultiTopicConsumer and method removeSubscription.

The code removes the subtopic, but then does a check afterwards to see
if it is ttrying to remove a subtopic that does not exist. But when it
is the last subtopic, it always fails.

Does anybody have a work around?

This is the method from Adobe Class MultiTopicConsumer:

public function removeSubscription(subtopic:String = null,
selector:String = null):void
{
for (var i:int = 0; i  subscriptions.length; i++)
{
var si:SubscriptionInfo =
SubscriptionInfo(subscriptions.getItemAt(i));
if (si.subtopic == subtopic  si.selector == selector)
{
subscriptions.removeItemAt(i);
break;
}
}
if (i == subscriptions.length)
throw new MessagingError(Attempt to remove a subscription
with subtopic:  + 
subtopic +  and selector:  + selector +  that this
consumer does not have);
}

The problem is the if (i == subscriptions.length), which always is
true because it has just been removed.

 Hi Andrew,
 
 Can't you subclass MultiTopicConsumer and override this method to
use your
 instead of use this one?
 

I haven't considered subclassing, but I suppose it is one solution.

The quick and dirty solution I came up with was before doing a
removeSubscription, to check if it was the last one and then add a
dummy subscription, so when the real one is removed, it is not the
last one in the array.

[flexcoders] Blaze messaging how to detect when server is down

[bbloggs96]

I am looking at Blaze messaging using Consume in a Flex client to
receive messages from a JMS queue via Blaze.

In the flex client how can I detect that the Blaze server has gone
away, either it is not responding, or has crashed or with network
problems.

I know it is very easy to consume messages, but how do you know that
your message stream is not working properly?
