Re: Flash Builder desktop debugging issue

[Fréderic Cox]

OK I finally found the culprit! A colleague asked me to test some DEV setup
on a database change he did. Therefor he told me to install an app which
would edit my localhost file. I did not see this as a related cause until I
saw this possible solution:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/10530208/640907

Setting the debugger to 127.0.0.1 fixes the issue for me!

Re: Flash Builder desktop debugging issue

[Fréderic Cox]

OK this is weird ...

With

FredericBook-2:bin frederic$ ./adl DebugTest-app.xml -nodebug

I get

please debug me

ok

button clicked

setting breakpoint

check


So it means with "-nodebug" the traces actually show and debugging works ..

Re: Flash Builder desktop debugging issue

[Fréderic Cox]

Hi Alex,

I tried running adl from command line but nothing happens, I get no output.
Probably I'm doing it wrong.
You mentioned "ads" in your e-mail but I guess this is a typo? I do not
have ads in my bin folder.

I did manage to run swfdump -abc DebugTest.swf and the output contains
debugline and debugfile info.

Also interesting .. yesterday I created a mobile project which I run on the
device and debugging works there! It does not for desktop AIR projects.

What is the difference?

Re: Flash Builder desktop debugging issue

[Fréderic Cox]

Hi,

I have checked [1] but something does not seem right. It states (for Mac):

Flash Player first checks the user’s home directory (~). If none is found,
then Flash Player looks in /Library/Application Support/Macromedia

So I checked my user directory and there is an mm.cfg file with 0 bytes
last modified 3 days ago ..

I don't know what I did 3 days ago, maybe update Adobe AIR but I'm unsure.
So I deleted this empty file and checked for /Library/Application
Support/Macromedia but in there I don't have a mm.cfg file. I do have a
mms.cfg file there but it seems to be unrelated.

Anybody have any idea why I would have an empty mm.cfg in my home directory
and what I should do to fix this?

Re: Flash Builder desktop debugging issue

When I change my SDK it is giving me the same problem.

Process terminated without establishing connection to debugger.

trace1
trace2

Launch command details:  "/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/sdks/4.6.0
(AIR 3.8)/bin/adl" -runtime "/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder

/Users/frederic/Desktop/Exuvis/Mediahuis/DebugTest/bin-debug/DebugTest-app.xml
/Users/frederic/Desktop/Exuvis/Mediahuis/DebugTest/bin-debug

So it must be something external, no?

Re: Flash Builder desktop debugging issue

[Fréderic Cox]

Thanks a lot for your help.

I have created a new project and the same problem arises so it has nothing
to do with compiler options. I created a project DebugTest and in
creationComplete I've put two traces and a breakpoint. The debugger does
not connect and shows:

Process terminated without establishing connection to debugger.

trace1
trace2

Launch command details:
 /Users/frederic/ApacheFlex/sdk/4.15.0_AIR20/bin/adl -runtime
/Users/frederic/ApacheFlex/sdk/4.15.0_AIR20/runtimes/air/mac
/Users/frederic/Desktop/Exuvis/Mediahuis/DebugTest/bin-debug/DebugTest-app.xml
/Users/frederic/Desktop/Exuvis/Mediahuis/DebugTest/bin-debug

I have disabled all my chrome and firefox extensions but no luck. Should I
restart my Mac? Going to try that now...

Where do I find mm.cfg?

Re: Flash Builder desktop debugging issue

[Fréderic Cox]

Thanks for the replies.

The problem is related to AIR debugging on desktop. I did not change my
Apache Flex SDK so I really can't understand what caused the problem.

Which debugger is used for AIR and where is it located?

Flash Builder desktop debugging issue

[Fréderic Cox]

Hi,

I have a problem since a few days that is driving me absolutely nuts.
Flash Builder 4.7 is unable to connect to the debugger. It works for web
projects but not for AIR desktop projects.

I have tried numerous things like cleaning workspace, restarting FB, ..
nothing works.

I have downloaded the debug player for Chrome, Firefox and standalone.

flashbuilder.eu/flash-player-version.html tells me I have the debug player
installed correctly for both.

I have placed the Flash Player debugger in /Applications/Adobe Flash
Builder 4.7/player/mac/26.0/Flash Player.app and used that path in the
debug pane of the Flash Builder preferences so it should use that one ...

Although the name is Flash Player.app and not Flash Player Debugger.app
when I open it it shows as the Flash Player Debugger so that looks to work
also.

Any tips on how to solve this problem?

Thanks

Re: I am curious, what do you guys think about Flash Player and Flash Platform's situation today? is it better or worse than expected 5/6 years ago? Re: WebAsm?

[Fréderic Cox]

It's pretty much the same from my perspective. It could be a lot better,
there is a lot of potential that Adobe does not see. On the other hand
there still is a strong community with some very smart and creative people.

I still use AS3 (mainly AIR) every day and we are even using it for brand
new projects. It still gets the job done and I don't see a better
alternative for our needs.

Re: [FlexJS] Coordinate Space

[Fréderic Cox]

Isn't this what localToGlobal etc.. did for Flex?

Personally I would like testButton.x to return 0 in all instances. Unless I
want it's actual screen position where I use the helper functions like
localToGlobal etc..

Re: AMFPHP support for FlexJS

[Fréderic Cox]

I have to disagree with Olaf here. In our company the entire backend is using 
AMFPHP. Changing that to JSON and changing the frontend code as well is not a 
viable option. If AMFPHP works in FlexJS there would not be any changed 
required on both ends. Just making a point here that use cases indeed differ 
but for some companies it might be a key point in deciding wether or not to go 
forward with FlexJS.

Setting source to external CSS does not work

[Fréderic Cox]

I am creating my first projects in Flex 0.7.0 tonight.

I must say the installation guidelines from the WIKI are very clear and I
was set-up very quickly.

I encountered a first "issue", is it the right place to report/ask about it
here? Or should I use something like stackoverflow for my questions?

Anyway I created a simple view:

































and I would now like to style it using our company's main website (replaced
it with {companyDomain}.com for this thread). I tried:

https://www.static.
{companyDomain}.com/styles/master-v2.2-99371.css" />

but then I get the following error:

/Users/frederic/Desktop/Personal/Flex/FlexJSTest/src/FlexJSTest.mxml:14

Can't find 'source' file
"/Users/frederic/Desktop/Personal/Flex/FlexJSTest/src/https:/www.static.{companyDomain}.com/styles/master-v2.2-99371.css".

https://www.static.{companyDomain}.com/styles/master-v2.2-99371.css;
/>

Is it not supposed to work like this? It would be nice if this worked

AMFPHP support for FlexJS

[Fréderic Cox]

Hi,

I have been following this list for quite a while now.
Thanks to Carlos his MDL efforts and post on Twitter I am considering to
start working with FlexJS in the coming days.

I am reading the FAQ's and hope to get everything set-up soon but there is
one big feature I used a lot in all my projects and that is AMFPHP via the
RemoteObject class.

Is AMFPHP technically possible with FlexJS? Our entire backend supports
AMFPHP so I would prefer not to change all of that to JSON.

AS3 code is like this:

var dataService:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject;

dataService.destination = "Crm";

dataService.source = "Crm";

dataService.endpoint = EnalityData.rootURL + "amfphp/gateway.php";

dataService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,
companiesDataResultHandler, false, 0, true);

dataService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, companiesDataFaultHandler,
false, 0, true);

dataService.getOperation("getCompaniesInfo").arguments=[EnalityData.userLogin,
EnalityData.userPassword, EnalityData.userId];

dataService.getOperation("getCompaniesInfo").send();


AMFPHP is superfast and easy to use. It would allow me to convert some, if
not all, of my applications to FlexJS. I'm a DIY programmer with 10+ year
of experience but never studied actual advanced programming studies (more
Communication & Multimedia). Been working with AS3 for over 10 years now.
Some concepts here are still over my head but I'm willing to learn it.

So basically my questions regarding AMFPHP for FlexJS are:

1) Is AMFPHP currently supported for FlexJS

2) If not supported, is it technically possible?

3) If not supported but technically possible, is anyone already working on
it?

4) If nobody is working on it, who has the experience/tips on how to get
this working for FlexJS?

Re: [Falcon] Compatibility with MXMLC

[Fréderic Cox]

For me falcon should add logic to resolve "isVertical" to the instance
function
in order to be backward-compatible with MXMLC as this. is omitted a lot in
AS3 code currently.
This would be a lot to fix if all the projects throw an error where code
like this is used.

Re: Bug introduced in 4.12 regarding spark textinput

[Fréderic Cox]

OK so here is what I found:

My (mobile) project works in 4.11, not in 4.12
A new mobile projects works in 4.11, not in 4.12
A new project works in 4.11 and in 4.12 with spark theme
A new project worls in 4.11 and in 4.12 with the mobile theme if I included
mobile.swc and mobilecomponents.swc in the library path

So the issue seems to only occur for mobile projects created as mobile
project from 4.12 onwards

Re: Bug introduced in 4.12 regarding spark textinput

[Fréderic Cox]

I have now swapped the custom skin to a new custom skin by using Create
MXML Skin -> Host component Button and copy skin from ButtonSkin. If I add
a textinput in there it is also not responding to mouse events.

Easy to reproduce now:



CustomHeaderExperimental I only added



to the default sparkbuttonskin I created in Flash Builder

Re: Bug introduced in 4.12 regarding spark textinput

[Fréderic Cox]

The custom skin is a skin with hostComponent is

fr.washmatique.spark.components.navigators.AccordionElementHeader and that
is defined as

public class AccordionElementHeader extends Button

So it is a custom skin (skinClass set to the Button) which contains
children. The children of this button skin can not be clicked since 4.12

Re: Bug introduced in 4.12 regarding spark textinput

[Fréderic Cox]

Alex,

I've investigated some more (and will continue in the coming hours,
hopefully not too long ;-)) but it seems the issue is *NOT* related to
spark textinput (as the title of this thread now incorrectly states). I
have added a button next to the textinput and I'm not able to click that
button either.
So I am now going to investigate why the mouse events are not triggered on
these components inside the custom skin

Also a mouseDown handler on the skin itself:



http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009;

xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
creationComplete="skin_creationCompleteHandler(event)"

mouseChildren="true" mouseDown="skin1_mouseDownHandler(event)"

Is not triggering the event handler ..

Any pointers are greatly appreciated. I'll let you know what I find more

Bug introduced in 4.12 regarding spark textinput

[Fréderic Cox]

Hi,

I have an existing application (mobile+desktop) that was using Flex 4.10
with AIR 3.8. I decided to upgrade it to 4.15 and AIR20 but noticed a bug
now. I have a custom skin that contains a TextInput, I am not able to focus
into the textinput anymore. I investigated and found that the issue was
introduced in 4.12. It is working in 4.11 (with AIR 20) but not in 4.12
(with AIR 20).
I checked the release notes but can't really see the cause for this.

The skin is a custom header skin (based upon the default skin) which is
used in the accordion component of
http://washmatique.fr/blog/2011/10/01/fully-foldable-spark-accordion-component-that-fits-content-size.html
and

Can anyone help me figure this out please?

A file found in a source-path must have an externally visible definition library error

[Fréderic Cox]

Hi,

I have a library project in Flash Builder that is (sometimes) generating
this error when compiling:

If a definition in the file is meant to be externally visible, please put
the definition in a package. ProductPhotosManager.mxml
/CFShopManagerLibrary/src/components Unknown Flex Problem

If I then do a clean project it will sometimes disappear but not always.
It's driving me crazy. Can anyone tell me what this error means?

The components.ProductPhotosManager contains some imports to a SWC of an
ANE because otherwise the projects using this library can not use the ANE.
Could it be related to that?

I am using Flex 4.15.0

My .flexLibProperties looks like this:





  



















  

  







  

  




Thanks for any help you can give me!

Re: iOS mobile keyboard TLF support

I'm not really familiar with ANE development but I will keep your
suggestion in mind. But is it not possible to display and edit HTML on
mobile? This looks like a big shortcoming to me. Surely there has to be an
option to raise the keyboard and proxy the key events to a RichEditableText

iOS mobile keyboard TLF support

[Fréderic Cox]

Hi,

I am currently working on a project where I have a TLFEditor to put a
textarea's text in bold/italic/underline, change font size/color etc..

It works fine on desktop but not on mobile.

Option 1 is to use skinClass = spark.skins.spark.TextAreaSkin but then the
keyboard on iOS does not show.

Option 2 is to use the default mobile skin but then TLF is not supported.

It is a product description component in which the user only needs to add a
small amount of text so the performance overhead for TLF is not an issue
here. Just need to find a way to open the keyboard so the keyboard input is
accepted. Does anyone have a solution or workaround?

I've spent almost 6 hours on this issue alone today .. I know
requestSoftKeyboard() is not available on iOS and I've also tried setting
stage.focus = textDisplay but nothing works on the device.

Any help/workarounds are greatly appreciated!

Re: Re: TextInput layout changes after SDK upgrade

[Fréderic Cox]

If I do not set applicationDPI or customRuntimeDPIProvider on desktop then
the only way to "fix" my issue with textinputs is to set:

s|TextInput{

fontSize: 13;

}

in defaults.css in my library project. Then it fixes the issue I have in
desktop version (mobile version was already OK without using this CSS). So
it seems setting the CSS is needed for the scaling to work correctly.

Keeping the CSS solution because it seems a better way of fixing then
setting the applicationDPI/runtimeDPIProvider in desktop project for the
reasons you mentioned in the post above. Thanks for that!

Re: Re: TextInput layout changes after SDK upgrade

[Fréderic Cox]

I think the issue is that I am using a library project. In that is most of
my code. Then I have a desktop project and mobile project but because
mobile is set at 160 dpi and default for desktop is 120 that I'm getting
the differences in component layouts. So this was my initial problem.

Re: TextInput layout changes after SDK upgrade

[Fréderic Cox]

I fixed my issue by not setting applicationDPI="160" but instead returning
160 always for a custom runtimeDPIProvider for desktop. This seems to work

Re: TextInput layout changes after SDK upgrade

[Fréderic Cox]

I found the issue. It is only affecting the desktop preview so not an SDK
issue but an issue with scaling. See
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34653

I could easily fix this by setting applicationDPI in my desktop app but
that causes the scaling bug as reported in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34653

So if you have a library project used in both mobile and desktop project
then this issue can occur.

AIR desktop, but it is a library project which is included in AIR desktop
and AIR mobile. Both AIR mobile simulator and desktop show the issue. I'll
try to find some time on monday to create a reproducable scenario and file
a JIRA bug. Good to know that it is not an intended change as you noted.

Re: TextInput layout changes after SDK upgrade

[Fréderic Cox]

It is a bit of a guess but I'd say from 13 to 26. I fixed it by setting
s|TextInput to fontSize:13 in my CSS. Just found it odd that the default
has changed and I can't find any references about that in release note
(maybe I'm overlooking it). If nobody else reported this I think it's not
that big of a problem.

TextInput layout changes after SDK upgrade

[Fréderic Cox]

Hi,

I upgraded an existing project from 4.10 to 4.15 and now without any code
adjustments the TextInput has a higher default height (I did not specify
any height in the code) and also the font size increased dramatically. I
did set -includes=mx.utils.LegacyMobileThemeOverride but can anybody point
me to some info about these changes so I know how to correctly correct them?

Thanks in advance!

Erik,

Well you saw the little boy side of me as well as every one else, I'm
proud I can show feelings in an email, in this respect, I will never
consider myself a professional.

The problem I had was with the fact we have been communicating quite
nicely and then these two commits. Putting it in New Hampshire speak,
it felt like I got a snow ball full of ice hitting my face directly.
If we would have talked a bit first at least I could have ducked
(prepared to refactor my dependent projects).

My project is kind of NDA at the moment but completely uses the
compiler.jx platform. This is what I have been talking about I am
working on other projects. I actually mean, I am working on other
projects that plug into THIS framework.

So what you changed affected my project that is not going to be in
Apache at the moment.

I guess the real reason I got upset was just the communication about
refactoring, I thought a month ago we had a conversation that we would
talk to each other if we were going to do anything drastic. I
understand the commit and review but, I hope we can understand with a
project like this, we should review and commit on changes dealing with
the test platform and public API. (you know what I'm talking about).

Since you explain eloquently your reasons, I will take an hour and get
my project working again.

BTW, did you mean to commit the SWC in the repository?

Mike



Quoting Erik de Bruin e...@ixsoftware.nl:

 Hi,

 Mike, first off: I'm sorry if my work messed up something you were
 working on locally, but hadn't committed yet. You're right that it
 might have been better if I had first discussed on the list some of
 what I planned to do. That said, I did make sure all the tests and the
 VanillaSDK_POC example run correctly before I made any commit.
 Further, I did commit early, commit often as much as possible, it's
 just that setting up MXML required some changes in the project
 structure (more on that below). I didn't see a way to make that
 process more atomic and still check in only code that compiled without
 errors.

 A little belatedly, here is my reasoning behind most of the changes -
 argued in retrospect, I didn't have a grand evil plan before I
 started, I just wanted to get MXML parsing started ;-)

 In general, this is how I understand the structure of the project:
 there are two levels: API and implementation. The API lives in the
 'org.apache.flex.compiler' packages and is mirrored in the
 implementation (duh) which lives in the
 'org.apache.flex.compiler.internal' packages.

 Until I started out on the MXML work, we had one type of input (AS)
 and two main types of output: AS and JS. This was mirrored in the
 project structure:
 - for AS, there is 'org.apache.flex.compiler.as' and
 'org.apache.flex.compiler.internal.as'
 - for JS, there is 'org.apache.flex.compiler.js' and
 'org.apache.flex.compiler.internal.js'
 Each of these has at least two sub packages: 'codegen' and 'driver'.
 Each of these sub packages can have output type specific children,
 e.g. for AMD and Goog.

 Now with MXML, there is a second type of input and a third basic type
 of output. So, I created 'org.apache.flex.compiler.mxml' and
 'org.apache.flex.compiler.internal.mxml' and associated sub packages.
 I like symmetry.

 However, as there are now 2 types of input (AS and MXML), I needed to
 abstract out some of the AS code that handles input, in order to share
 it with the MXML code. While looking for a place to put this new 'top
 level' code, I decided to put that in a package named 'common', which
 I created - being a fan of symmetry - on the now familiar two levels:
 'org.apache.flex.compiler.common' and
 'org.apache.flex.compiler.internal.common'. Also, some of the classes
 that were previously in 'as' really belong in 'common', as they are
 not specific to AS.

 As for the tests, I collected all the 'test base' classes, including
 the new one for MXML, and put them together in
 'org.apache.flex.compiler.internal.test'. While doing this, I noticed
 that there were three nearly identical 'compile' methods in separate
 classes, so I consolidated those into one 'compile' method, with some
 supporting and overloading methods. I did not change any 'asserts' and
 made sure that all tests passed at any time.

 Now, for my strategy for the MXML parsing: as I said, I like symmetry.
 As we did for AS, first I want to make sure that FalconJx understands
 all MXML types that Falcon does (a long list that lives in the Falcon
 compiler in 'org.apache.flex.compiler.tree.mxml') and is able to
 output what is put in. To achieve this, I plan to write tests for each
 of these types/features, much as we did for AS. Once that is
 'complete', I

Excalibur, sword (tool) of the legendary King Arthur, King Arthur is a
legendary British leader of the late 5th and early 6th centuries

So for Apache Flex 5 and in memory of Doug Arthur I present Excalibur as
codename

 Wasn't there a plan to dedicate something in Apache Flex to Doug Arthur
 after he passed away last year?

Missed this conversation, sounds good, I know I was absent when he
passed but him and I worked on the logo contest like mad, he was
definitely in support of this project.


 So how about we call it 'dougart', code names are mostly used internally

This was exactly my point, there is no internal operations at Apache,
thus a code name sounds like it would be weird in the Apache
setting. Maybe if we didn't call it a code name, that sounds to 007 I
guess for me.

We are not hiding anything before a release, there are no NDAs...
Please if we name a prerelase, don't call it a code name!

 anyways, the official release will
 be called 'Apache Flex 5' with perhaps a separate dedication to Doug.

 thoughts?

I agree.

 Quoting Sebastian Mohr flex.masul...@gmail.com:

  Hi there,

 Since using code names for Adobe Flex seemed to be a
 good practise (e.g. 'Halo', 'Gumbo', 'Hero'), I wonder if we
 should find a code name for Apache Flex 5? Thoughts?

Hi,

 BlazeDS is being donated by a different team and I checked earlier in
 January and they said they have to clear up a legal issue.  I don't
have any
 details and haven't pressed them for it.
Mind asking what the legal issue is?

 3.x could be a lot of work and nobody has asked for it recently,
It just come up (indirectly) in a JIRA issue.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-14658

 There might be slightly easier ways to make it happen
Most of us are external and only have a general idea to is required for
this to happen inside Adobe at this point I think any shortcuts are
worth investigating.

Personally I think it is a much better use of Alex's time to continue to
work on the the JS stuff rather than divert him for potentially a couple
of months getting 3.x ready for donation.  If Flex was still at Adobe,
since Flex 4 has been out for so long now I would guess Flex 3 would be at
or near end-of-life.

Even if it got to Apache it would mean that it would have to be
periodically released which is just as big an undertaking as the current
version.  I think it would be a better use of our resources to concentrate
on releasing Flex 4.next more often.

Re: [FalconJx] where I'm going to be

Understood, thanks and good luck guys! I will monitor your work but first
I need to learn about AS and MXML in more detail, where can I start?
Because I thought MXML was just actionscript classes where a compiler
would parse the MXML and generate the appropriate AS class.
