[flexcoders] Detecting Flash Player standalone menu events

[Craig]

Hi everyone,
 
I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with an 
integration issue I'm currently facing. The application I'm writing is going to 
be hosted on a client's platform that uses some kind of queuing mechanism to 
preload and schedule content that is to be delivered to an external screen. 
Apparently, the way it works is that it uses Standalone flash player to host 
any flash content. The content gets preloaded into this player, then is 
immediately 'stopped' (using the Flash Player's Stop menu) until the platform 
decides its ready to go to screen. When it goes to screen, Flash Player's 
'Play' menu item is triggered, which is my queue to start my application. So my 
question is simple; does anyone know if I can hook up to those events, and if 
so, how? I'm guessing they're something to do with the timeline, but I'm not a 
CS3/4 developer, and I'm struggling to find any info on what exactly they do 
and the implications of them on SWFs developed in Flex.
 
Any help much appreciated,
Craig 

RE: [flexcoders] custom itemrender flicker

[Alex Harui]

It depends on how you coded the renderer.  Our list classes have very general 
and somewhat inefficient update strategies because we want to make sure most 
collection updates renderer correctly.  I haven't looked at how Spark List 
thinks, but mx:List will refresh all renderers even if only one item changes 
because it doesn't know if another renderer might have "look-ahead" and also 
care about the item even though its data item is some other item in the 
collection.

You might be better off suppressing the setItemAt if it is the same.

Hey Alex, thanks a lot for your reply. So it is *proper* behaviour that if you 
setItemAt in a custom itemrenderer that the whole control is rebuilt visually? 
Incidentally I am using Flex 4, so this might be of even more interest.

I have a SkinnableDataContainer with an ArrayCollection dataprovider that holds 
custom objects ('reports' in this case).

If my current collection has:

 1.  Report #1 = Name: 1stReportName, Path: 1stReportPath
 2.  Report #2 = Name: 2ndReportName, Path: 2ndReportPath
And then I do a myArrayCollection.setItemAt(Report1, 0), which basically sets 
the first item to the same report it currently has. The itemrenderer empties of 
all items, then re-displays them, causing a flicker or flash that is noticeable 
on a slow computer.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the itemrender NOT to re-build itself from 
scratch on every change? What if you had 100 items and u onl;y set one item?

Thanks a lot!

Baz

If I have a custom item render based on an ArrayCollection with 10 times, and 
just for fun, I loop through those 10 items and setItemAt the exact same values 
that are already there - on screen the list of items reloads in a sense, 
re-building itself to the exact same values. I would like that in such a case, 
the on-screen controls know that they are the same as before and not to rebuild 
themselves. Is this possible? Can I intercept some event to double check 
whether they are the same or different?

The goal of course, is to have this behaviour even if one some items changed. 
For example if I change only the 10th item, I would expect only the 10th item 
to refresh, no the whole collection.

Thanks for any ideas!

P.S. I am not useing refresh() on the ArrayCollection is it set to auto-update. 
Also, all my setItemAt calls are done in commitProperties()

[flexcoders] Imagesnapshot Doesn't Capture

[kristiansalvesen]

Hi,

I have an application that has a TileList that is populated with images or swfs 
from an external 3rd party website. At first the TileList is set to 
visible=false and then with some logic it is set to visible=true I then want to 
take an ImageSnapShot of the TileList populated with all the images. This works 
when running the code just from FlexBuilder as i am developing/debugging but 
when i uploaded the application to my webserver the Application just "freezes" 
when trying to create the ImageSnapShot. Anyone has any ideas of what is going 
on here. 

Thanks,

Kristian

[flexcoders] Bar chart datatip refresh-hide

[rlull2001]

I have a bar chart that displays information about several items. When you 
click the bar of one of the items, the chart drills down to more specific 
information about this item but if you don't move your mouse, the datatip from 
the previous chart is still visible. Any ideas how to make this datatip go away 
once the chart is clicked?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adobe promises *full flash* on mobile devices (all except iPhone)

[dorkie dork from dorktown]

Yes to the global error handling! :)

Flash Player 10.1 will address memory issues (currently halves current apps
out of the box).

It will also increase performance by 35%. I'm sure they're addressing the
issues mobile app development faces.

I see.  You don't want to allow dropping at the top-level.

I think you can get the DRAG_OVER event, look at where the mouse is, and call

RE: [flexcoders] custom itemrender flicker

[Alex Harui]

It depends on how you wrote the renderer.  You can try overriding the "function 
set data()" to check for changes to the object referenced by the renderer, but 
then if some sub-property changes, the renderer will not update.

Might be better to understand why it flickers when updating.

So my head is spinning?

I have a popup that is popped on the mainstage. I want to that popup to follow 
a sprite that is down in the Display list about 4 levels.

So if you a user drags the sprite say left 150 pixels and down 150 the popup 
needs to follow it.

I am trying to do popup.move (somenum, someothernum ) but it doesn't work out 
correctly. I can't seem to get the coord correct or on the same playing field.

The popup might be instantiated at the center of the stage, which is x240 and 
y240 but the sprite might be at x1500 and y 1600 on its level of the 
displaylist.

Hi All,

Flex on iPhone is potentially possible via Slider on the future. See more on 
Slider at
  
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/mobile/

The pages on Labs have all the info we can share? But the faqs are pretty big.

More on the same topic: 
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/10/05/not_quite_flash_adobe_announces_iphone_native_app_porting.html

It's not designed as a replacement for Flash in Safari; rather, it lets you 
submit your Flash CS5 apps to be listed on the Apple Store. The Safari plugin 
might never happen; Apple doesn't allow plugins on the iPhone.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Hot news! Adobe Opens iPhone to Flash Developers

[hank williams]

I think it is very good news, but I dont think its good news if you expect
to be doing stuff with flex.

http://whydoeseverythingsuck.com/2009/10/adobe-announces-flash-can-build-iphone.html

In summary, given that there has been no mention of flex in the
announcement, and the focus in the announcement on performance, I suspect
flex is either not supported, or for performance reasons, not encouraged at
this time, again for performance reasons.

[flexcoders] Re: Hot news! Adobe Opens iPhone to Flash Developers

[napearson99]

I hope someone from adobe can chime in here. 

Here's my take.  Flex is just a framework built on AS3.  This middleware 
compiler should be able to compile Flex AS3 code into native iPhone code no 
problem.

The new framework should also help reduce the weight of your app and make it 
run faster.

This is really great news.  Our skills just got a lot more valuable today.

[flexcoders] Detecting Flash Player standalone menu events

[Craig Shaw]

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with an
integration issue I'm currently facing. The application I'm writing is going
to be hosted on a client's platform that uses some kind of queuing mechanism
to preload and schedule content that is to be delivered to an external
screen. Apparently, the way it works is that it uses Standalone flash player
to host any flash content. The content gets preloaded into this player, then
is immediately 'stopped' (using the Flash Player's Stop menu) until the
platform decides its ready to go to screen. When it goes to screen, Flash
Player's 'Play' menu item is triggered, which is my queue to start my
application. So my question is simple; does anyone know if I can hook up to
those events, and if so, how? I'm guessing they're something to do with the
timeline, but I'm not a CS developer, and I'm struggling to find any info on
what exactly they do and the implications of them on SWFs developed in Flex.

Any help much appreciated,
Craig

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adobe promises *full flash* on mobile devices (all except iPhone)

[Cole Joplin]

Of course, I should know better than to rant on the same day as the keynote. 
CS5 will do the job on apps, apparently. So, this is great news. Still, the 
flash plugin for iPhone Safari is an different animal.

H. Nice looking tree.

My brother used to work for Sprint/Nextel, and he told me how they basically 
laughed in Apple's faces, and told them that the iPhone would fail, and that 
Apple had no clue about the phone business. Who's laughing now? Let's be 
honest, all these other phones look absolutely dated in comparison. I know, 
everyone doesn't want an iPhone, fine. Sure there's a non-iPhone market out 
there, but the app sales on these phones are horrible. So, what's the point? 
iPhone app sales are exploding. Apple actually delivered that holy grail of 
making the phone a serious profit center.

A great user experience is what made Flash the success it is. The iPhone is 
successful for the same reason. Any platform that does not deliver the 
experience the user wants, will not do as well. So, I can't bring myself to get 
evenly slightly excited about this. I'm a lot more excited to see how the 
makers of the Pocket God iPhone app used Flash animation and converted it into 
animation for the iPhone. If "full flash" on these mobile devices means 
addressing the problems of memory leaks, high cpu, and low battery life, than 
they have made a big step. These are likely reasons why Flash is not on iPhone 
today. 

But if Adobe is spending valuable resources making "full Flash" for Android, I 
have to seriously question the business case. Yes, it's a good thing, and I 
hope Android succeeds. But it wouldn't be surprising if Adobe spent more money 
in development than the entire amount of money the whole non-Apple industry 
made back in app sales. What's going to sell more copies of Flash Pro? The 
ability to do Android? Or the ability to do iPhone? 

In the meantime, iPhone is continuing to eat up market share in big chunks and 
racking up huge sales.That's the forest.

[flexcoders] Re: Hot news! Adobe Opens iPhone to Flash Developers

[oneworld95]

You're welcome. My boss owns an iPhone and wants everything we build to run on 
it. So I've been hunting high and low for any way to run Flash on the iPhone 
without a jailbreak. 

Some wording from the press release caught my eye: "The Apple iPhone SDK 
license terms do not allow runtime interpreted code, so Adobe is not able to 
deliver Flash Player in Safari on the iPhone without support from Apple. 
Applications for the iPhone built with Adobe Flash Professional CS5 do not 
include any runtime interpreted code."

So the apps built with CS5 will "not include any runtime interpreted code." Not 
sure what that means for Flex developers. Is that good/bad/indifferent?

[flexcoders] custom itemrender flicker

[Baz]

If I have a custom item render based on an ArrayCollection with 10 times,
and just for fun, I loop through those 10 items and setItemAt the exact same
values that are already there - on screen the list of items reloads in a
sense, re-building itself to the exact same values. I would like that in
such a case, the on-screen controls know that they are the same as before
and not to rebuild themselves. Is this possible? Can I intercept some event
to double check whether they are the same or different?

The goal of course, is to have this behaviour even if one some items
changed. For example if I change only the 10th item, I would expect only the
10th item to refresh, no the whole collection.

Thanks for any ideas!

P.S. I am not useing refresh() on the ArrayCollection is it set to
auto-update. Also, all my setItemAt calls are done in commitProperties()

I need the ad to be targeted but all I want the user to see is the flex 
application and the ad...to get targeted ads I would need to put some hidden 
(from the viewpoint of the user) text on the page, which most likely violates 
Adsense TOS.


   


  

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adobe promises *full flash* on mobile devices (all except iPhone)

[Cole Joplin]

H. Nice looking tree.

My brother used to work for Sprint/Nextel, and he told me how they basically 
laughed in Apple's faces, and told them that the iPhone would fail, and that 
Apple had no clue about the phone business. Who's laughing now? Let's be 
honest, all these other phones look absolutely dated in comparison. I know, 
everyone doesn't want an iPhone, fine. Sure there's a non-iPhone market out 
there, but the app sales on these phones are horrible. So, what's the point? 
iPhone app sales are exploding. Apple actually delivered that holy grail of 
making the phone a serious profit center.

A great user experience is what made Flash the success it is. The iPhone is 
successful for the same reason. Any platform that does not deliver the 
experience the user wants, will not do as well. So, I can't bring myself to get 
evenly slightly excited about this. I'm a lot more excited to see how the 
makers of the Pocket God iPhone app used Flash animation and converted it into 
animation for the iPhone. If "full flash" on these mobile devices means 
addressing the problems of memory leaks, high cpu, and low battery life, than 
they have made a big step. These are likely reasons why Flash is not on iPhone 
today. 

But if Adobe is spending valuable resources making "full Flash" for Android, I 
have to seriously question the business case. Yes, it's a good thing, and I 
hope Android succeeds. But it wouldn't be surprising if Adobe spent more money 
in development than the entire amount of money the whole non-Apple industry 
made back in app sales. What's going to sell more copies of Flash Pro? The 
ability to do Android? Or the ability to do iPhone? 

In the meantime, iPhone is continuing to eat up market share in big chunks and 
racking up huge sales.That's the forest.

I think Steve Jobs can be thanked for jerking the mobile world out of

[flexcoders] Detecting loader.close()

[Aaron Hardy]

Hey all,

I have a Loader instance, I call the load() method, and then sometime
thereafter but before the loading is complete I call the close() method.  Is
there any sort of event I can watch that will tell me the loader has been
closed?  As a very simple test, I tried the following but it never gets to
the stop() method for any of the events.  In my real app I have a reference
to the loader/loaderInfo in a different part of the app and need to know
when the loader is closed.


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"
creationComplete="go();">






Thanks for any help!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Resizing transparent png

[Greg Hess]

Thanks for your help.

Using smoothing helped a bit, but I was still seeing pixelization. My image
was 100x100 and I was setting scaleX=.6 and scaleY=.6(using Zoom effect to
1), changing my scaleX/Y to .5 produced an image that was perfect. I guess I
need to respect the aspect ratio and use scale values that would not require
rounding???

Do you know if we need to set scale values according to the aspect ratio(any
rule of thumb)?

Cheers,

Greg

[flexcoders] Dynamic image

[markgoldin_2000]

I am returning a binary stream from the server. That stream once received into 
Browser will be opened as an image (tiff format). Can that stream be a source 
for a dynamic image in Flex?
 
Thanks

[flexcoders] Re: Unable to use a source path with a number in it?

[biosmonkey]

Hi,
Flex won't let you put quotes in the edited path name.  It will give an 
"invalid path" and won't accept it.

Can anyone confirm this happens on the normal Flexbuilder installation (ie not 
as an Eclipse plugin)?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adsense

[Dan Pride]

There should be no difference between this and any other html page.
I would check the settings in your google adsense account.
This should work identically because it is identical.

I've tried that, but am not getting targeted ads, just a bunch of PSAs.  Do you

Personally, for me, the real "woo hoo!" on this release is the global error 
handling.

Its good to see that beating up adobe staff does work, ... eventually :)

Now if only they could do something about the memory and we might have a real 
RIA platform on our hands.

However getting your (non-game) app to run in the amount of memory typically
