[flexcoders] What is a transcoding error in Flexbuilder 2?

2005-10-24 Thread Merrill, Jason










I am getting some errors in the Flexbuilder
2 Alpha which have me perplexed. I am embedding a .swf file in my
application with: 



mx:Image source=@Embed('assets/titleBackground.swf')
creationCompleteEffect={SlowFade}/



And it works fine. The .swf displays
as expected, and is in the proper asset folder in my project. However,
today I am getting these error messages every time I compile:



Unable to resolve
assets/titleBackground.swf for transcoding.

Unable to transcode
assets/titleBackground.swf



What do those mean? The only thing I
could find in the help docs about transcoding was:



The following example points to an ambiguously
typed source property and specifies a MIME type
so that Flex uses the proper transcoder to import the resource:

[Embed(source=http://getpic.com/getsvg,
mimeType=image/svg)]

var pic:String; 



But I dont see how that would relate
to my project. Just an Alpha thing? Thanks for any
insight.

RE: [flexcoders] What is a transcoding error in Flexbuilder 2?

2005-10-24 Thread Roger Gonzalez





Transcoding is what happens to convert one form of encoding (i.e. a GIF) 
to another form of encoding (SWF). In this case, its really just a "wrap 
SWF asset up for use inside the application" transcoder.

But anyway, the error here is that it couldn't resolve (locate) the 
file. Make sure your relative path is correct.

Yeah, as I said, the file path is correct,
the file is there, and it also shows up in the application after compiling, so
thats why Im baffled about the error.
