Hi - I tried the following in one of my mxml files in Flex SDK4. <mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" dropShadowEnabled="true" dropShadowColor="#EBE6E6"     backgroundColor="#E8E5E5" width="280" alpha="1" borderColor="#8d8d8d" borderThickness="1" borderStyle="solid" cornerRadius="8" creationComplete="setPopMsg(),fireEvent()" >It gave an error "The style 'borderThickness' is only supported by type 'mx.containers.Canvas' with the theme(s) 'halo'."Should we use only Spark theme with Flex 4? What is the difference between Spark and Halo themes?  which is good? Also what is the equivalent of setting borderThickness in spark theme?

Since a Android-looking popup box doesn't yet exist in the Hero SDK, I thought I would put a pretty good looking component together.You can download it (and the sample code) here:http://www.digitalretro.tv/components/InformationBoxTest.fxpA real simple example in in the project, for both an Info and an Alert.I currently only support an "OK" button, but I will be adding a Yes/No and OK/Cancel later this week.Hopefully this will save someone some time.Enjoy and feel free to use this in your code (commercial or non-commercial), just leave the copyright code in the component source file in place.Thanks.Darren

Hi EveryOne,Due to font rendering issues in flex 3, I've decided to create a custom dynamic TextArea because my App consists of different languages.

I am working on an application written using Flex converted  from Flex 3 to 4.5. It has bullet list functionality. I had seen one post (url is not remb now.) during development to include bullet in text flow. What that post suggesting is, include bullet character at first line and add indentation to first line and to paragraph. i.e. First line indentation is -18 and paragraph indent is 18. so that this will appear as bulleted paragraph. My problem is, I am not able to manage number of spaces between bullet character and next character for different font-family and fontsize. I tried to find character width but no luck (not able to find api), I need expert advice.Is there anything to get font matrix so that I can find width of space and adjust the spaces number and indentation.Thanks,Vikram

I'm developing an Application in Flex 4 that contacts with webservices.If I run my application with firefox or Chrome when it should catch one exception from the webservice, it doesn't show my exception message and show that error: SOAP Response cannot be decoded. Raw response: null If I run my application with ie8 or with flash player (out of browser), it catch my exception and show my exception message... And this is OK. Any ideas for my problem? Best regards,Miguel

Hello everyone,I've downloaded Flash Builder 4.5 trial a few days ago. Let me first tell that I like the new features a lot and they help to speed up the development process noticably. I thank Adobe for that very much.However I did not notice any performance boost over the Flash Buidler 4. Even worse, the 4.5 version seems to run much slower and use more memory than Flash Builder 4. I constantly keep getting Java Heap Space errors and needles to say, the tool just crashes and I have to restart it.Here how my experience working with the new version looks like. I start the Flash Builder 4.5 which has my current project open (for the record, I still use Flex 4.1, and the project includes roughly 300+ classes and 30000+ lines of code (AS and MXML)). At the beggining everything works fine and pretty fast. UI, code completion, snippets and all other good stuff works pretty fast. However, after each build, FlashBuilder.exe process eats up from 50 to 100 megabytes of memory and does not seem t

Hi,I created an MXML component that I want to be able to move around.I added a button and I capture the mouse down & mouse up events:protected function btnMove_mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{     startDrag(false, new Rectangle(0, 0, parent.width - width, parent.height - height));     event.stopImmediatePropagation();}protected function btnMove_mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{     stopDrag();     event.stopImmediatePropagation();}However, after the mouse is released, the component jumps back to the original location.I can't get it to stay at the (x,y) it was released! Any ideas???Thanks!

Hi, I get this error "Java Heap Space" when trying to clean build (or build in any way) my project. I have a lot of embeded assets (png, mp3 and some binary files embeded to be read as a ByteArray) which total about 37 MB. Including one more 1.6MB binary asset causes this error to occur. I have tried to change my memory settings about (-Xmx and -Xms) as previous posts have suggested but this doesn't seem to make any difference.Is there any patch or solution to this very frustrating limitation of Flash Builder?Thanks for any help!Tom

Hi,I have been trying to use the UrlStream to download many files and even single large files. While downloading a single large file it seems to pause mid stream and then burst back in to life and then pause again and so on. The same occurs if I use to download many smaller files. Some will randomly pause.Is this a bug? Anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix?package com.layoutmanager.stage{    import flash.events.DataEvent;    import flash.events.Event;    import flash.events.EventDispatcher;    import flash.events.OutputProgressEvent;    import flash.events.ProgressEvent;    import flash.filesystem.File;    import flash.filesystem.FileMode;    import flash.filesystem.FileStream;    import flash.net.URLRequest;    import flash.net.URLStream;    import flash.utils.ByteArray;        publ

Hi everyone,I encounter some troubles with embedded swf and LZMA compression. Below is what I'm currently experiencing :1) I have my main swf app that embeds another swf file via the [Embed()] metadata tag.2) I compile it (Flex 4.6 - mxmlc -compiler.strict -compiler.optimize -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true -swf-version=13 -target-player=10.2)3) And then I compress the final swf with the little tool available here : http://blog.kaourantin.net/?p=124So far everything's going well. I load it through swfobject or directly with <object/embed> BUT sometimes (at the runtime), Flash Player refuses to play it : right-click > "Movie not loaded...". The bug is intermittent and not always reproducible.Am I the lonely one ? Any help or suggestion are welcome.
