[flexcoders] auto update of flash
I've used flex builder to create my first flex 2 site, and in the properties I've asked it to look for flash version 9 0 16. but when some people go to my site all they get is a grey screen. I think its because they have flash version 9, but just not the new version as other friends that have gone to the site and it auto updates just fine. When the said people get grey screens and then they manually update from the macromedia site, my flex site works fine. What do I need to do to make sure if a user doesn't have the most recent version of flash that the swf will redirect them and they will get an update. is there a difference between firefox and IE in the way that it works? Also the properties in flex builder only give room for 3 numbers and yet when you look at the version of flash it has 4? ie 9 - 0 - 16 - 0.

[flexcoders] Re: Lots of images and 403 errors
I've just had recent problems with something that might be similar. I've been modifying the photo gallery example and I uploaded about 1000 pictures and the majority of them work fine. What happens when I try to dynamically load the images, if their is a few erroneous files then it appears to fail and the site doesn't load any more info until the loads time out (not sure what sort of error that gives). But due to the time that it takes to time out, all the rest of the correct images don't get loaded either. The only way I found out this was if a particular image or thumbnail failed to load inside the flex app, then I tried to load it straight from the server, i.e. www.mywebsite.com/thumbImages/img_2005.jpg and also compared that to a picture that I knew was working in the flex app. The files on the server appeared to be identical (file size properties etc) to the files on my machine which worked fine. This was the first time I've tried such a site and it seems that the ftp up loader has incorrectly uploaded a bunch of images, no idea why? worth a look. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, David Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm not sure if this is a Flex issue or maybe my server set up...but if any of you have any ideas, I'm be glad to hear them! I have a Flex Movie that is loading a lot of images.

I am putting it down to the web server not being able to handle the amount of hits from the flex app. Anyone esle had issues like this? and if so, any ideas on how to over come them?

[flexcoders] Re: photo gallery
Thanks for the help, I've found out what the problem was, and it
wasn't a flex problem :)
Somehow during the upload of my pictures, some of them do not appear
to have been uploaded correctly. the properties and files size appear
to be the same as on my local machine but they are not.
So I just need to identify all of the pictures that have been
uploaded incorrectly. (little bit unsure of best way to do this as
I've uploaded about 1000!).
When I get some time going to try and write a loading bar for an
image and if the data for the picture takes too long to load then
stop it from loading so that the pictures that are correct can still
load.
hopefully that way I'll be able to work out which pictures are at
fault and replace them.
thanks.

This
new XML documnet then creates the gallery, which gets loaded.
When the app loads you get a loading bar, is there any way to get
a
loading bar for each image? this might help find out whats
happening.

Hi,
Looks like you've got some resource problem.
My first guess is that you should load your jpeg dynamically
using
SWFLoader controll instead of loading all
at once in the PhotoService as.
I am going to give a try myself in a few days time.
Bye Bela
Hi again,
May I suggest to monitor this image loading, just put the following
into
your ThumbnailView.mxml:
* change=startTime(event)//put it into photoList, your
HorizontalList
* complete=endTime(event) //put it into photoImage, your
currently selected image
* mx:TextArea id=ta1/ //put it into e.x. your VBox, and
the
following into mx:Script/mx:Script
* private function startTime(e:Event):void {
sTime = getTimer();
}
private function endTime(e:Event):void {
var eTime:Number=getTimer();
var totalTime:Number=eTime - sTime;
ta1.text = totalTime: + totalTime;
totalTime=0;
}
So whenever you click any thumbnail you gonna get the elapsed time
of
the currently selected image's loading.
Bottleneck can occur at different level, just try to isolate it.
For the first time you get NaN in your ta1 TextArea, just ignore it.
ps: In the Build and Deploy pdf you can find two chapters about
optimization.
Cheers Bela

[flexcoders] Re: photo gallery example
I'll ceratinly check that but the actual XML which is used to generate the gallery is created on the client from the XML sent from the server. And as it works 100% of the time on my machine I would think this unlikely. Is there a call or method to confirm that the XML is valid, so that once its loaded I check to see if its a valid XML doc, if not i'll reload it before using it to create the new smaller XML on the client? (I have checked that its valid before I posted it to the server) My main XML file which gets loaded from server is over 200k at present so looking through it manually isn't really an option and as my gallery grows so will the file.

[flexcoders] photo gallery
hi folks, I've not had any response to my previous question, and the problem is baffling me. I have a photo gallery (modified from the flex 2 examples) which works 100% when its run locally on my machine. when I place the swf into a webpage it doesn't always work. It might say download 3 images then just stop, with tranferring data at the bottom left of firefox. no more data will be transfered at all when this happens. Can anyone explain why this might be? Any tools that I could use to find out what the problem is? if someone has an idea but needs more info from me, then just ask. cheers. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Re: tabbing in flex
well there are two things, one is a controlBar with buttons in it, and when tabbed the first button will be highlighted then it will just move onto the next text box in the VBox rather than the other buttons in the controlBar. I haven't implented the below, so I was just using the default settings. I then tried telling flex to make them all true but the program tabbed in the same way. The other custom component is a mxml file that contains a dateField and a text box. this get skiped altoghter when tabbing. thanks --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, JesterXL [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does it extend UIComponent (or a sub-class)?
