[flexcoders] Re: flash.* packages not found on linux FlexBuilder

2009-05-15 Thread Oliver Merk
Are you using the 3.3 SDK? If so, here's the fix:

Under Project Properties > Flex Build Path > Library Path, remove the
playerglobal.swc under the framework SDK. Click Add SWC and find the
player global SWC for Player *9* in the 3.2 SDK (assuming you've got it
somewhere). For example, /frameworks/libs/player/9/playerglobal.swc.

Clean the project and you should see everything working again.

[flexcoders] LCDS on CF8 - Where's the wrapper coming from?

2007-09-03 Thread Oliver Merk
If I run an mxml file directly from the address bar, such as
http://mysite.com/index.mxml, where does the wrapping html come from?

There is no Flex Builder on the machine and there's no SDK folder. I'm
thinking the code is embedded in one of the Flex server-side jar files
(which would suck).

I'd like to be able to customize the html wrapper code for on-the-fly
rendering. Any clues?

Cheers,
Oliver



[flexcoders] Help! Converting PowerPoint to AS3 SWFs

2007-06-14 Thread Oliver Merk
Hoping someone out there has an answer to this tricky one...

I need to convert a PowerPoint file to an AS3-compatible SWF file. The
SWF will get embedded into a Flex application. It must be AS3 so that
Flex sees the embedded SWF as a MovieClip, and I'll have the ability
to go to a particular frame of the slideshow using
gotoAndStop(framenumber).

I know one can embed an AS2 SWF into Flex, but you can't control it
without creating a localConnection as well as some additional code in
the SWF to accommodate this.

Any ideas?

Is it possible to tell Flex Builder to change perspectives based on the

[flexcoders] Changes not detected in index.template.html

2007-01-19 Thread Oliver Merk
I have a project that compiles on the server. I need to add some
custom Javascript to the HTML that's generated when I run the mxml
file (eg. http://localhost:8700/flex/MyApp.mxml). When I add the code
to /html-template/index.template.html file and run the application, I
don't see the JS when I view source.

I've searched around and haven't heard of this problem before. Any
ideas how to get this to work?

[flexcoders] HTML template used for FDS app

2007-01-17 Thread Oliver Merk
Hi all,
I know that for a basic Flex Builder project, the folder
/html-template contains the wrapper HTML for the generated app. Where
does the Flex compiler get the HTML wrapper code when you access the
application MXML file directly off the application server? eg. If I
invoke http://localhost:8700/MyApp.mxml and view source in the
browser, I can see the HTML surrounding the object tag. Where does
this HTML come from and is it editable?

Cheers,

[flexcoders] Re: Tree: Resetting openItems after dataProvider change

2007-01-04 Thread Oliver Merk
... no more than selectedIndex is now;)

My final solution to this was to force the tree to always have its
branches open (it's small enough that this isn't too ugly). Then I use
 selectedIndex to reselect the last node the user selected before the
language change. I know it's kludgey. On with the show...

[flexcoders] Re: Tree: Resetting openItems after dataProvider change

2007-01-03 Thread Oliver Merk
@Tracy & Hank: Thanks very much for the feedback and suggestions.
Tracy, I clearly understand that the data drives the behavior of the
tree. I do, however, disagree with Adobe's changes to the tree control
in Flex 2.

Here's why: The concept of a node being opened or closed, has no
corollary in the ArrayCollection or XMLListCollection data structures.
That is, an ArrayCollection element has no concept of being "open".
This is a concept related to the Tree control. So the act of restoring
the open/closed state of a tree's nodes should IMHO be a lot easier
than jumping through the hoops we've all suggested.

If, as I originally suggested, there was a openIndices property,
similar in concept to the openItems property which already exists, I'd
be able to restore the tree's visual appearance *independent* of the
data -- which, in my case of switching languages at runtime is exactly
what I need to do.

I have achieved a working prototype by adding an attribute to the
branch nodes' XML, tracking the open and close events and recursing
through the data to restore the opened states after the data has
changed; but again, IMHO it should not be this hard;)

Thanks again,
Oliver

[flexcoders] Tree: Resetting openItems after dataProvider change

2006-12-23 Thread Oliver Merk
I've been wrestling with this for over a week and haven't found a
solution to this problem. Hoping someone can help.

I have a tree control that, at runtime, changes its dataProvider. In
this case, I'm switching languages and the dataProvider format is
XMLListCollection. I'd like to restore the open items of the tree
after the dataProvider has changed. I tried using the openItems
property, but openItems stores a list of XML objects from the original
dataProvider.

When the provider changes, the XML objects are of course different,
and trying to reset the openItems property fails. What I really need
is an "openIndices" property that is not tied to the XML data in the
provider.

The example Adobe gives
(http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/working_with_tree/) is
not helpful since they switch between two dataProviders with the same
content and they're using an ArrayCollection (I'm using an
XMLListCollection).

I've tried walking the tree but since the new Flex 2 tree control
limits direct access to nodes, I could not find a way to detect the
open indexes of the tree directly.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Oliver
