[flexcoders] Zoneinfo database to use for AIR applications.
Anyone knows are there any best way to use the public zoneinfo database (from original Olson database) in AIR applications? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoneinfo
[flexcoders] Air NativeWindow in StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL
My project includes a main AIR window and another presentation window
to be displayed in a second large monitor. I have to use SHOW_ALL
scale mode to scale everything in that window but not layout for sure.
The problem is the presentation window is built with Flex
containers/components, in my short test, it scaled, but quite buggy. I
know Alex has discussed about this for Flex in browsers, but there's
somewhere else to adjust settings in html, but not Flex nativewindows
in AIR applications.
My experiments code as follow. Any help appriciated.
Thanks,
George

[flexcoders] Re: Thinking about going to the dark side....Apple Mac Book
I bought my first Macbook last November for home projects. If you need dual-monitor for development, and has big monitor larger than 1280X800, buy a MBP. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, scottyale2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How many Flex developers here are using a Mac for development? I've been a die hard Microsoft guy since ... well, since Microsoft first started. I went from CPM on a Morrow Meadows to Microsoft DOS (on computers with a Turbo button!), then Windows, now Vista. I do have an iPhone and it is an incredible device and the GUI is extremely well done. I've never used a Mac, but many of my friends have taken the plunge. Is it time to make the switch? I'm thinking about a Mac Book Pro. Is a Mac Book even worth considering for a Flex dev machine or is a Mac Book Pro the way to go? Anybody else make the switch recently from Windows to Mac?
[flexcoders] How to change positions of Alert popups in SHOW_ALL mode
In Flex the SHOW_ALL mode couldn't function correctly for default popups, like Alert. I didn't find a way to fit them in center of browser screen automatically. Occasional Alert popups (usually server side errors) not belong to any views so to make an customized version of Alert class will cost lots of time to dig. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot! George
[flexcoders] Flash/Flex Event collision on TextField input
I have a component extend UIComponent with lots of classes inside
using Flash Player API. Today I tried to add TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT
listener for a TextField.
private function inputHandler(e:MouseEvent):void
{
this._tf.setSelection(0,1);
//this._tf.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, textInputHandler,
false, 0, true);
}
I also bind textInput on the top of the component, as TextInput class did:
[Event(name=textInput, type=flash.events.TextEvent)]
But each time when I try to input, error fired:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.events::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.events.IndexChangedEvent.
And when I add the listener (uncomment above), another error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.events::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to mx.controls.TextInput.
(why it was binded to TextInput???)
I have no idea how could get it work. I wonder whether I have to code
it with Flash CS3 and use UIMovieClip with Flex component kit. (Not
sure whether it still problem!?)
I googled this problem, found a bug report but Adobe seems no desire
to fix that bug.
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-11156
Any ideas?
Thanks,

[flexcoders] Re: Flash/Flex Event collision on TextField input
Sorry. The second RTE was a code mistake. But the first one is there
every time, though if not Flash debugger player still work fine.

[flexcoders] Re: Word Wrap in FlexBuilder
There's a tiny plug-in available. http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t74384.html --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, hank williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oh... you mean in the actual text editor. Nope, I dont think so. At least I have never seen it either in Flex or in Java. As a general rule I try to keep all text within the width of the page. For strings I tend to just break the text into pieces and concatenate. it makes for much more readable code. And even if eclipse were to word wrap, it would be ugly because it wouldnt respect any indentation. Eclipse prints this way, and I hate it because I find it difficult to read automatically wordwrapped text because the wrapped text starts all the way at the left edge of the page.

[flexcoders] Re: Please Adobe. Unanswered questions, and building the community
I'd rather to sit and wait the release day of Flex 2. There's only
several days left (next week?) it will save your time a lot with the
official release but not beta version. You could buy or try it or use
SDK only.

IMHO a community is not at all built this way, any answer is better
then no answer. For developers we ask a question if it goes without
response we think either they are ignoring the question, can't be
bothered, or it's a bug. Since the first thought is that they can't
be bothered we continue to try and find a solution to the problem,
until completely frustrated.
Theses things are very important (to me at least) when choosing to
switch from a dot net development environment to something such as
flex. I've been working with flex for a year now, and of course I'm
very happy with it, however I feel that the community involvement
from adobe is rather lacking.
You can't hope to build a solid community that supports it self, we
are not the experts, you are. We need your help, and you need our
help. But; the communication, and participation in the building of
the community has to work both way's. I've answered far more
questions then I have had answered, I participated in the alpha
testing, I've reported bug's in this forum. All this I'm very willing
to do, and continue doing. However your community support people
could at least take the time and read the question, and either
confirm it as a bug, not possible, or give an idea of where to look.
I'm not unhappy with Flex, I'm rather impressed and energized.
Learning a new language, and platform is difficult, and time
consuming.
Why are there no tutorials except the few you have done to get people
up to speed, where is all the learn by example stuff, tips, general
community building. Surly you can invest in some full time community
support personnel.
Flex is moving Adobe into a developer realm, as apposed to the
designer realm. I think if you hope to convince the developer realm
(a more demanding task) community involvement from Abode needs to be
greatly increased. A couple blog entries a week will not do it. A
couple of questions answered here, and there will not do it. We need
to see that your behind us, that you want to help us succeed with
your product, that you continue to listen, and that you're doing
everything humanly possible to help get us up to speed.
Flex has the potential to be more then just some other platform. In
order to go head to head with MS, and unlock the dedicated developer
community they've built, you need to greatly increase your community
involvement.
Hopefully in posting this I've not managed to get on the spam/ignore
list of all Adobe support :)
Here are some example things with no response, I'm sure if asked,
every person in this forum could repost at least 1 or 2 unanswered
questions. Any answer is better then none.
