[flexcoders] Flex time out issue
[flexcoders] flex time-out Issue...????
Hi, I actually want to increase the flex timeout from 15sec to max 60sec. I have tried the following ways. 1)By adding -default-script-timelimit 1000 60 in the Aditional compiler arguments of the project properties - no result. 2)By adding the - 1000 60 to the flex-config file in the sdk ---> no result. 3) By creating my own config file and loading using -load-config in the compiler arguments in the project--->no result. I m using flash builder 4.5 version. Any solution or suggestions always welcome.Earliest response is highly appreciated. Thanks Varun
[flexcoders] Error running project from FB3 [1 Attachment]
Hi All, Error: Flash Player Not Found C:\Program Files\MpcStar\mpcstar.exe Flex Builder cannot locate the required version of the Flash Player. You might need to install Flash Player 9 or reinstall FB. After installing a Media Player, I have not been able to run the MXML Apps from my Flex Builder 3. Previously when I used to run, FB used to open up a Flash Player 9 window and run the SWF generated from MXML. Now since I installed the media player, which happens to play SWF files as well, I am unable to run my projects from FB. I have tried uninstalling that media player, installing flash player, rebooting my system, changing default application to open for SWF files. Nothing really worked. If anyone has faced this issue previously and have been able to resolve it, please let me know the trick. It would be of great help. i wish i dont have to reinstall fb. :( Thanks, Varun The INTERNET now has a personality. YOURS! See your Yahoo! Homepage. http://in.yahoo.com/
[flexcoders] Flex Builder 3 XMLDecoding problem
Hi, I recently tried the flex builder 3 'Import web service' feature to generate web service proxy classes that return strongly typed objects. The wizard worked well for simple object types, but when used with complex types it broke down. After investigating, I found that the problem was in the XMLDecoder class. and it wasn't able to decode complex types appropriately. Searching online showed up the following Flex Bug reports filed. http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-12253 http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-14800 http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-11025 http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-12319 has anyone encountered this and found any appropriate solution to this. any clue when this would be fixed. I am having this problem with Flex builder 3 and Oracle JAXB web services. regards, Varun Shetty

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex is time consuming
i usually switch off autobuild on save... and only build when i am ready.. also breaking up into swc files seem to have helped. Flex is definitely slow for me on a 4 GB RAM + 4 Core (Quadro/Xeon)Processor.. i wish there was some tweaks that would make flex use all the processors. regards, Varun On Mon, Aug 18, 2008 at 9:04 PM, Guy Morton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Maybe someone from Adobe could shed light on this? > > On 19/08/2008, at 11:00 AM, Douglas Knudsen wrote: > > > I'd assume the DTD gets cached in Eclipse though.

[flexcoders] Flex 2 Development on Flex 3
Hi, I want to use some flex 3 builder IDE features and my current project is developed in Flex 2. Can I port my application (Without any changes) and use Flex 3 IDE. I believe I will have to use backward compatibility flags to do this. http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/Flex/Backwards+Compatibility+Issues has anyone played with this and found any issues. Flex 3 IDE features that I want to use are. - Refactoring - memory and performance profilers My application is using a lot of RAM, any best practices document that I can use, will be really helpful. Also, is there a way we can check for available ram in flash or javascript and redirect users to appropriate (html) version of the application. thank you Varun Shetty

[flexcoders] Loading XML in preloader/ before application onComplete
Hi, I am creating a flex application that has its UI elements and some basic data that are dependent upon a config.xml. Loading the config.xml on application preinitialize/initialize/onComplete would not be appropriate as my application preloading would be complete and I still dont see any UI elements on the screen. Creating second preloader on initialize would not look that great. I am pretty sure we can load the XML in the preloader and delay/deffer the application instantiation. Just not sure how to go about it and what API's should I look for or where exactly should I use them. Appreciate a lead on how to go about it. Thank you, Varun Shetty

Re: [flexcoders] Re: pause not working in sequence of Iris effects?
heya ...
well couple of things i did..
cleaned ur code.. 'cause i dont like it with warnings on my flex .. :D (u
dont have to do it)
created a canvas outside the map.. since u are doing too many things on the
map canvas . i would recommend keeping it separate from the iris effect..
also you need to end your effects effectively.
i would never recommend putting a for loop to simulate a delay. there is
startDelay property to make a delay.
check the script below .. mebbe it solves ur problem.

[flexcoders] Customizing DateCooser/DateField Component
Hi, Is it possible to customize DateCooser/DateField component in flex to a calendar component similar to *kayak.com* or many other such sites that would display two month for a date selection.. well i saw the properties/methods of datefield ... and it certainly didnt look possible. I had to hack into the component by duplicating the component and copying some of the framework files to my flex project folder. towrds the end I could do it... but then .. i am worried about the default accessibliity features given by flex and many more things they would have done to get this component to perfection.. me jus hacking and getting it to look like a calendar i want .. would screw up a whole lot of features and i would never have the time to spend on a single component to test it like adobe does. so again... am i missing something.. is there a way to get the default DateChoose/DateField component to look like the calendar component in kayak.com... regards, Varun Shetty
Re: [flexcoders] Accessing Methods of a Custom Components
I love you..!!!
Thanks for the lead.
well since it was a custom component.
I had to use some part of the code from both Tracy and Jim.
so it was something like
var tempOptions:coptions = hbox.getItemAt(2) as coptions;
tempOptions.visState(); // this worked flawlessly after the above line...

[flexcoders] Accessing Methods of a Custom Components
Hi,
I made a custom component and I am populating an hbox with custom component
using actionscript.
so if 'coptions' is the custom component.. i am doing this
for (var i:int=0;i<10;i++){
var temp:coptions = new coptions();
hbox.addChild(temp);
}
now i can view the custom components within the hbox. but i have a public
function named 'visState' within the custom component "coption".
i want to call them through a button. How do i call them?
i tried calling like this ... hbox.getItemAt(2).visState();
but it didnt work.. i tried many other options... but none worked.. any clue
what should i be doing.. ?
also any insights on how to make global eventdispatchers..?

Varun
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Moves Flex mouse cursor to a new position in the stage
If you mean to move the system mouse cursor to a new position. no it is not possible. 'cause it would be a security breach to the system. Flash Sandbox would not allow any such activity.

[flexcoders] How to Access Child Objects and its properties...?
I am creating some flex components through action script. And I want to
access the x position of these components.
These components are created within an HBox (personDetails) so they get an x
position on its own and it is not an absolute value.
But I would like to retrieve these x values from an button outside the
component.
well, i am not sure if u can name components/sprite/movieclips in flex..?
currently on the script below.. you can see i have not named them, So how do
i access each of these components..? any leads will be really helpful.

personDetails.removeAllChildren();

[flexcoders] Styling Custom Components
Hi,
how do i style custom components? Well i do realize that I cna have a style
on the main application and apply it to the custom component, but what if i
want to specify the style within the component itself.
e.g. I am making a input field which has 3 visual states. active, active and
selected, selected visual state.
and of course would love ur comments on the other coding aspect too for the
flex mxml below.
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical"
themeColor="haloGreen">
.basicTxt {
borderColor: #71a100;
color: #055598;
fontSize: 10;
fontWeight: bold;
paddingLeft: 2;
padding-Top: -5;
}
.txtOnSet {
borderStyle: solid;
borderColor: #8dc900;
backgroundColor: #e8f4cc;
color: #055598;
paddingLeft: 2;
fontSize: 10;
fontWeight: bold;
}
.txtInSelection {
borderColor: #71a100;
color: #055598;
fontSize: 10;
paddingLeft: 2;
fontWeight: bold;
}
what i am trying is to see if i can create an custom text input box, which
would have the style built within the custom component itself.

I found it particularly helpful. You can ignore the back-end AMFPHP part of the article, and just use your OpenAMF backend, which I have used succesfully as well. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex2_amfphp_03.html Also, I highly recommend getting yourself a robust Flash remoting debugging tool. This will allow you to easily see what Remoting calls (and all other HTTP traffic) that are going over the wires. http://www.xk72.com/charles/ Cheers, -Daniel p.s. to clarify, FDS does provide Flash Remoting capabilities as well.

Thank you Hank, The link provided by greg was too confusing and didn't see it solving my concern. I will try FDS and AMF to generate the chart.

[flexcoders] Error Opening URL on Flash Remoting. - not a flex question
NOT A FLEX QUESTION, I am using Flash 8 How do I trap an event when the URL doesn't exist i.e. if a server is down? I am doing flash Remoting where I am connecting to a particular server with openamf installed on port 7092 var myURL = "http://224.157.15.16:7092/openamf/gateway";; I am not sure if Remoting makes a connection over http like webservice. But apparently if it is not then the connection can get blocked due to some firewall or security software installed on a client's machine. The onStatus function also doesn't throw up an error But the output window would show Error opening URL "http://224.157.15.16:7092/openamf/gateway"; I tried different tricks but wasn't been able to trap it...!! any clue how I can ? Btw. Currently one of my client overseas cannot see the application running, but the rest can. I am presuming it is the port being blocked. 'cause for testing I change the port or make a wrong connection it too does give me an Error opening URL on output window but doesn't trap the error anywhere else so that I can show an appropriate message.
