[flexcoders] Loading Images into a loaded SWF
I asked this a couple of weeks ago, just before I went on holiday. This is the problem: I have an Air application. That loads a SWF from my drive soemwhere. That SWF is trying to load an image on a relative path to the swf. When I run the swf directly, it loads the image fine: when the swf is loaded into the Air app, it won't load. When I trace out the ioError event.text I get Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL: file:///media/DSC_0095.JPG file:///\\media\DSC_0095.JPG So the first part of the image file's path is not being set, and I think this is a bug? Previously it was suggested this was a Security issue - I don't think it is as the SecurityError event is never thrown. Am I being dim?

Why not create a simple ANT build script that simply copies your XML files into the appropriate directory for you. Then uncheck the copy non-embedded files checkbox.

[flexcoders] window resizing issues
I have window W1 which has a Vertical Box which in turn has a Datagrid
and one of those DataGrid columns of the Datagrid has a Horizontal Box
which has a button icon. The MXML is somewhat like
mx:VBox width=100% paddingBottom=10 paddingLeft=10
paddingRight=10 paddingTop=10 styleName=formSection
mx:DataGrid id=my_grid dataProvider={my_grid_dp}
headerHeight=0 width=100%
allowMultipleSelection=true
change=remove_value.enabled = expected_result_grid.selectedItems.length
0; rowCount=3
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Column 1
dataField=expected_result wordWrap=true /
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Column 2
dataField=expected_result width=45
mx:itemRenderer
mx:Component
mx:HBox horizontalAlign=center
mx:Button
icon=@Embed('../assets/img/edit.png') toolTip=View buttonMode=true
click=outerDocument.openmyWin_fn('update')/
/mx:HBox
/mx:Component
/mx:itemRenderer
/mx:DataGridColumn
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
/mx:VBox
When the button icon is clicked(which is noted in bold above), another
new window W2 is opened using the below function
public function openmyWin_fn(eventObj:*):void
{
//Keeps multiple windows from being opened
if(result_win == null){
result_win = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,
result_win, true) as result_win;
}
//Passes the parent object to the popup window
result_win.openingParentWindow = this;
//Set the mode (Add or Update) in which the form should
operate
result_win.form_mode = eventObj;
}
I tried to add a TextInput in the above MXML in Window W1's source which
led to the window W2 opening in the rightmost part of browser window
without a scroll bar instead of appearing with a scroll bar in the
center of browser window. W2 should be appearing as overlapping W1, not
adjacent to it.
I commented the TextInput I added, even removed it, still the
issue(window W2 opening in the rightmost part of browser window without
a scroll bar) persists.
I once faced this problem where inadvertently a height value was added
to the whole W2 window. After I removed it, the window W2 was fine. This
time I am comparing the source files before I added the TextInput
control and after I removed it(when the window W2 was not displaying in
the proper place) and the source files are identical.
Window W2 was having scrollbars before I tried to add the TextInput MXML
control. It was also centering in the application before I tried to add
the TextInput MXML control.
Where could I be erring to cause the W2 to appear in the rightmost part
of browser? I don't understand what is causing it to happen if the
source files are identical?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Besides, I doubt it will stop the files that get compiled into the swf from also being copied to the debug folder. I'm really just looking for a way to get it to stop the delete embedded files/copy embedded files cycle every time it compiles. This would save a HUGE amount of time. Thanks!

Then you have the learning curve associated with ANT. Then you run into random errors where something doesn't copy and you waste hours tracking it down to having spaces in your file path. In the end you waste more time than you save. It's a rabbit hole. It's an mirage. And its being slung around more than $hit in a monkey cage /rant Amy, can you embed your XML files? It's something like this, [Embed] public var myXML:Class; No. They need to stay editable.

[flexcoders] Re: FB4: Looping thru itemrenderers
Here's some additional insight into what I am trying to do. The user can click on one of the thumbnails(itemrenderer) which changes the background color and launches a larger version of the image. Within that larger image is a next and previous button which will navigate to the next/previous image(itemrenderer). I need to be able to change the background color of the next/previous thumbnail/itemrenderer. So, in essence, I need to determine the next/previous itemrenderer and call the function that will change the background color.

[flexcoders] enterState exitState frustrations
I am a new Flex coder. So far I'm enjoying the flexibility of the framework,
but I am having a heck of a time with state changes. I'm using Flex 4.1. I'm
working on a basic GUI. You start with a welcome screen, followed by a state
change to a login screen, and a state change to a chat lobby. When the lobby is
displayed, there's a bunch of initialization that needs to happen. If the user
navigates away from this state/view, then they should be automatically
disconnected from the chat server and be brought back to the beginning. The
problem is, I cannot for the life of me get anything to trigger using
enterState and exitState. Even currentStateChanging appears to not be
triggered. I can make the init happen the first time using creationComplete,
but that's it. I am wondering if my using a custom event handler is causing
trouble.
Each of the different views are a custom component. Each component has the
following declaration in the Metadata:
[Event(name=stateChangeEvent, type=events.MyStateChangeEvent)]
MyStateChangeEvent allows the components to pass the desired state to the main
application which then initiates the switch. The individual components are
called as follows in the main application:
components:WelcomeScreen x=0 y=0 includeIn=Welcome
stateChangeEvent=stateChangeEventHandler(event)
/components:WelcomeScreen
The event handler is pretty basic:
protected function stateChangeEventHandler(event:MyStateChangeEvent):void
{
this.currentState = event.stateChangeData.newState.toString();
}
Is the custom handler what's causing the trouble? If so, how do I pass data
between components via events yet still take advantage of the enterState and
exitState triggers?
I sincerely appreciate your time and patience.
Aaron
