[flexcoders] Re: Special characters (eg. Cyrillic) TextArea
Thanks Andriy for your help I've managed to track down the issue (but not explain it) One of our team - also using Mac OSX - built his project using a manually updated version of Flex 3.2 sdk (versus updating to flexbuilder 3.0.2, which automatically udpates to the 3.2 sdk) If I build the exact same project (same checked-out items from SVN), cyrillic in a release build works fine. Since then he has upgraded to Flexbuilder 3.0.2, so theoretically he should have the same environment as me. He has since built new swc versions of his component and we still get issues with typing cyrillic in a textarea. For now at least there is the work around that I can build a version of his component to be used in my project and cyrillic / special characters will always work. It is strange that with his updated environment which is the same as mine, there is some incompatibility that is causing special characters not to display properly (now this occurs in release as well as debug builds) Cheers Tracy --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Andriy Panas a.pa...@... wrote: Hi Tracy, Are you using Safari browser under Mac OS 10.6?

[flexcoders] Re: remote php
Download WebORB for PHP (http://www.themidnightcoders.com/products/weborb-for-php/overview.html) and place it on your server somewhere. When you create your Flex project, do NOT set a server type (All this does is setup your project for you. You can do it manually). You can either code your connection manually or use config XML files (eg. services-config.xml). Going forward I would recommend the config XML files. A semi tutorial for creating and using a connection manually can be found at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/126803 One of these days, I will have to create a full tutorial on this (I have been threatening to do so for awhile ;-) If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, gandalfhr gandal...@... wrote: Hi, i opened an account at 000webhost.com and put some of my php files that access mysql there.

[flexcoders] Trying to compile LZW compresses resource strings into aResource Rodule
Hello, I'm using the command-line flex compiler to compile LZW resource strings into a SWF that can be dynamically loaded into an application at run time. I have no problem generating the Module and and loading it into the application when I'm doing simple name value pairs. I wish to use more complex name value pairings where the value is a LZW compressed WSDL file... I'm having issues with the encoded string wrapping multiple lines in the resource file. I've tries appending the \ at the end of the line, and this seems to fix the problem of getting the resrouce SWF to actually compile. However, it's (or something is) corrupting the compressed LZW string so it doesn't decode properly. Anyone ever done anything like this? Any ideas? Thanks

[flexcoders] XMLList += operator
Hi, I am a bit puzzled by the XMLList operator +=. I created the following small test code: var xmll:XMLList = new XMLList(); xmll+=node1/; trace(xmll.toXMLString()); addX(xmll); trace(xmll.toXMLString()); private function addX(x:XMLList):void{ x+=node2/; trace(x.toXMLString()); } and I was expecting to see: node1/ node1/ node2/ node1/ node2/ but instead I saw : node1/ node1/ node2/ node1/ i.e., the += seems to create a new instance of the XMLList, it doesn't update the current one. Can anyone confirm? Thanks
[flexcoders] Multiple -services in Flex compiler

Channel 'weborb-rtmp' does not exist in the configuration.

Ok, that makes sense...however... I am currently connecting to '-services C:\Apache\htdocs\WEB-INF\flex\services-config.xml' to connect to the ColdFusion server. Can you have 2 arguments for services? I don't suppose I can still connect to CF if I remove the current service (No,tested). Since they are both the same file name, and I have CF running on the Prod server, can I combine the two together?

Hi Christophe, There are multiple things you would like to explore about different available Flex MVC frameworks. The list is big like Cairngorm, PureMVC, Swiz, Mate, MVCS, RobotLegs, Parsley etc. and each one has its own pros and cons. But compare these with your requirements: -Learning curve -Dependency injection (IOC) -Documentation -Convention over configuration -Testing -Easy solution to common business problems (like view notifications etc.) -Boiler plate code many more similar things I started with Cairngorm (see different posts here, http://jaibeermalik.wordpress.com/category/tech-stuff/flex/) and found that there are multiple hooks and extensions I need to use to solve small-small things which are provided by other frameworks out of box. I compared few like PureMVC, Mate and Swiz, and figured out that Swiz is good choice for me. The learning curve for PureMVC is more. Mate is more mxml oriented which I don't want to code every time (prefer it be JAVA way :) ) and Swiz is more of Metadata/Annotation based.

Ok, i solved my problem. In fact, I don't use FlexAntTask anymore which is definitevely useless in my mind, just the executables, config file (xml) and build.properties. SOLUTION: To give variables to the config.xml loaded by -load-config, add arguments to the compiler executable (mxmlc or compc) like that: +myVarName=myVarValue Then access the variable as usual : ${myVarName} No need to access environment var since we can do that ofc :) -- Yannick Lacaute On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 8:56 AM, Yannick Lacaute yannick.laca...@gmail.comwrote: Hi, I am using FlexAntTask and I am using a custom config.xml, given to mxmlc like this: mxmlc ... load-config filename=${APP_ROOT_DIR}/${APP_CONFIG_FILE}/ compiler.source-path path-element=${SRC_DIR}/ /mxmlc It works, but i can't use environment variables in the config.xml, unless ${FLEX_HOME} !! flex-config compiler library-path ... path-element${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks/libs/path-element path-element${THORPORA_HOME}/swc/org/thorpora/lib/ThorporaUILib.swc/path-element /library-path ...

I tryied a lot's of others name like ${TEST}, $TEST, {TEST}, in user and system environment, with machine reboot, etc, only ${FLEX_HOME} works... (!!) Is that a bug ? Can't we use an environment variable in a custom config.xml ? (or just a variable from the build.xml ^^) Can you tell where are the best places to post this kind of problem ? It's stange becasue flex-config.xml use things like {targetPlayerMajorVersion}, it is a variable, so it should be possible to do same... do you know whre is defined targetPlayerMajorVersion ? Sorry, many questions... :) Thanks. -- Yannick Lacaute
RE: [SPAM] [flexcoders] Logging in flex (urgent help)
For logging in production, look into to the mx.logging classes in the docs. For debugging I just use trace().
