I'm going through the Flex in 5 Days tutorial on the Adobe website.  Has
anyone else done this?  I ask because I get 1-2 crashes for ever session in
every day.  I don't get the warm and fuzzies when a product crashes so
often.  I assume it was all written in LC, but it's the same company.

 

Does anyone know of less buggy tutorials?  They can't be "YouTube" based as
our firewall blocks that.  I'd love to see one for 4.0 as we might not
upgrade to 4.5, but even that is closer than 3.5.

 

TIA,

Jerry

Group,
I've searched high and low for a way to implement this, including a ready-made

direction would be greatly appreciated.

[flexcoders] Drag-n-dropping images from Mac OS to AIR app

AIR gurus,

  The following code in my AIR app works fine on a PC, but not on a

  protected function handleDragEnter(event:NativeDragEvent):void {
if (event.clipboard.hasFormat
(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT)) {  
NativeDragManager.acceptDragDrop(event.currentTarget as

  }

  protected function handleDrop(event:NativeDragEvent):void {

(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT);
 var tempImg:File = temp[0] as File;
 if (tempImg.extension == "jpg" || tempImg.extension == "JPG" ||
 tempImg.extension == "gif" || tempImg.extension == "GIF" ||
 tempImg.extension == "png" || tempImg.extension == 'PNG') {
 img1.source = tempImg.nativePath;
 img1.maintainAspectRatio = true;
 } else {
 Alert.show("File is not an image.", "Oops!");
 }

Any clues (or directionts to further research) would be greatly

[flexcoders] Printing from AIR application

[Jeff Hindman]

I'm developing an AIR application that allows the user to drag-and-drop 
images from his/her local machine to the app and then print the images 
(via PrintJob). Easy, right? Everything works fine until I try to run 
the application after I print something... dragging and dropping images 
to the printable area in the app stops working. Is the printable area 
(canvas in this case) being locked up somehow by the PrintJob, and if 
so, how do I free it up for the user to drop more images to it?

Thanks, people ... and Merry Christmas!

[flexcoders] Flex and Verisign

[Jeff Hindman]

Has anybody out there implemented a totally Flex e-commerce website 
with Verisign? I'm having trouble implementing the Verisign seal I 
downloaded from them (already have a certificate).  Also ... is it 
possible to test the functionality on a test server as opposed to a 
production server? I looks like the link will work correctly only if 
it's coming from your production domain, and I'd rather not test it 
there to see if it's working.

Hi all,

 

   i'm new to this list, and to flex and flash. I've just posted
my first experiment with flex up on the web and if anyone has time to
examine it and would like to offer any feedback I'd be very grateful. It's a
very simplistic pong game, where you can control the movement of the paddles
up and down by waving your hands in front of the webcam. I wrote it as a
proof of concept, and in doing so tried to learn about the bitmap API and
various things like filters and matrices - making use of the excellent
tutorial by Guy Watson on webcam motion tracking. Code is posted, so if it's
of any use to other noobs like me please feel free, and if anyone can tell
me where I might do things better I'd love to hear from you.

 

cheers,

Toby

Also for developers the cloaking is enabled so that your boss cannot see you

Upgrade your career and get a serious FlexJob. Rates are rising and there
are tons of new positions opening up doing Flex full time.

Here are some companies posting to FlexJobs:
