Questions

Since Ive installed the flex 3 sdk nightly build (flex_sdk_3.0.1.1739) my compiler error messages are part english, part dutch. How can I change this to be English only ? (and where can I find information about this? All Im able to find are questions/answers on how to localize your flex application, but not the compiler messages itself) (I'm using FlashDevelop 3 beta 7 and flex sdk 3.0.1.1739 nightly build)

This file is missing from the distribution. Was that a mistake or on purpose? A few other files are missing too I've noticed. One cannot build the source without these files.

mxmlc report a "Unable to create source" error when I tried to<br />embed a swf file into flex application.<br /><br />Following is the stacktrace for this error.<br /><br />java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1<br /> at java.lang.String.checkBounds(String.java:405)<br /> at java.lang.String.<init>(String.java:450)<br /> at flash.swf.SwfDecoder.readLengthString(SwfDecoder.java:275)<br /> at flash.swf.TagDecoder.decodeDefineFont2And3(TagDecoder.java:770)<br /> at flash.swf.TagDecoder.decodeDefineFont2(TagDecoder.java:737)<br /> ...<br /><br />I think this problem because of swfdecoder parsing font name wrong way.<br /><br />DefineFontInfo tag description in swf file format spec says,<br /> Note that font name strings in the DefineFontInfo tag are not null-terminated;<br /> instead their length is specified by the FontNameLen field.<br />&

Hi all, Check out http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Enhanced+States+Syntax to learn what we're thinking about for Gumbo with regard to states. I'd blog about this but my weblog is down as part of the MXNA issues. Feel free to blog it yourself. And feel free to comment! Matt

Hi all, the update says "This Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 1 adds Java SE 6 version 1.6.0_05 to your Mac. This update does not replace the existing installation of J2SE 5.0 or change the default version of Java." just checking if maybe someone had problem with that before updating if nobody know for sure I'll test that in a separate dmg boot and can give feedback cheers, zwetan

I just saw that Flex 4 state names will be restricted to the intersection valid AS3 and XML identifiers. What is the rationale behind that? This conflicts with how we are using URI's for hierarchical states within our application framework. We can pretty easily get around it by using a subclass of state, that adds a uri property instead of using name, and we were already considering doing that anyway for other reasons. But, in case it is helpful or anyone wants to discuss this, I'll explain what we are doing: Our apps use a global state string, which is a URI. Individual views define states which may match parts of that URI, and respond to global state change by assuming the closest parent-or-self to the global state. For example, a view might define states: "/a" "/a/b/c" "/a/b/d" "/a/b" If the global state is "/a/b/c" then the view will go into state "/a/b/c", If the global state is "/a/b/foo/bar" then the view will go into the state "/a/b", If the global state is "/a/xyz/abc" th

First of all, apologies for the cross-post. I originally posted this question on the general discussion forums here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=60&catid=585&threadid=1355404&enterthread=y I have since found this list, which seems a much more appropriate place (especially since I just spotted similar questions about Adobe's Velocity and Batik modifications) So, any plans to release the sources for the Axis2 modifications? If so, is there an estimated time frame for this to be done? Thanks!

Hi, I've been trying authentication on BlazeDS and Tomcat using "flex.messaging.security.TomcatValve". I succeeded authentication only *once*. I thought things goes like this, ----- 1. Consumer#setCredentials("user1", "pass1") 2. Do something. 3. Consumer#logout() 4. Consumer#setCredentials("user2", "pass2") // Relogin as different user. 5... ----- But at "4", error occured bellow ----- Error: Credentials cannot be set while authenticating or logging out. at mx.messaging::Channel/setCredentials() at mx.messaging::ChannelSet/setCredentials() at mx.messaging::MessageAgent/setCredentials() ----- Then I tried *without* calling Consumer#logout(), other error occured. ----- Error: Credentials cannot be set when already authenticated. Logout must be performed before changing credentials. at mx.messaging::Channel/setCredentials() at mx.messaging::ChannelSet/setCredentials() at mx.messaging::MessageAgent/setCredentials() ----- It's completely opposite. So how should I do? I'm not go

Does the Flex Compiler require a specially modified version of Batik? It appears as though changes have been made to the Batik CSS module, perhaps to make more line number information available to the compiler. If so, does Adobe intend to release these changes? For example, the flex2.compiler.css.StylesContainer class imports "org.apache.batik.css.parser.AbstractSelector" class -- such a class does not appear in Batik 1.6 or 1.7, so I'm left wondering if this is something Adobe added itself, perhaps for line number information. In a couple of places there are calls as follows: if (selector instanceof AbstractSelector) { lineNumber = ((AbstractSelector) selector).getLineNumber(); } I discovered these discrepancies while creation Maven POMs for the downloaded source code. Instead of linking to the Batik jars provided by Adobe, I linked to the Batik POM which are publically available. At first, I thought I needed an earlier version of the jars, but that did not fix the problem. I also

The Flex compiler (mxmlc) appears to have a dependency to a customized version of Velocity (more on this below). Is this correct? If so: 1) What changes were made to Velocity source code? 2) Does Adobe intend to release them? The reason I believe that the Velocity classes may have been modified for Flex is because the compiler source code includes a class called flex2.compiler.util.VelocityManager, which has an external dependency to flex.util.SerializedTemplateFactory, which is currently available only in compiled form inside the mm-velocity-1.4.jar. I thought it was curious that (1) SerializeTemplateFactory was put inside the velocity .jar, and (2) that the .jar contains the following String: "Make sure you are using the special velocity in flex/sdk/lib."

It would be great if someone from Adobe could post on the recommended usage of the Eclipse project definitions in the development/eclipse/ subdirectory of the 3.0.x trunk distribution. I would like to debug some compiler modifications that I am working on. I saw Peter Farland demo this setup at 360Flex, but was unable to capture all the details of the Eclipse configuration that he discussed in his talk. thanks!

Hey, how can I distinguish if I am compiling currently an AS3 or a Flex project (mxml vs. pure as)? I acutally want to look something up in the "evaluate" method of a GenerativeFirstPassEvaluator before doing the processing. So I need to know it there. Any help is much appreciated. Best, Joa

Hello, looking for a bit of guidance on how to examine the contents of a SWF and/or SWC. I have been poking around in swfutils but am not making much progress. Any pointers would be appreciated but I am also wondering if there are proper docs anywhere that I have not noticed. For example, I think I need to be examining Tag instances of some kind but can't find a list of subclasses. Thanks, Ben

Hello, I am experimenting with the Flex SDK by adding an extension to the MXML compiler. With the help of the documentation setting up Eclipse & Ant for developing and building the SDK was easy kudos! I successfully added my experimental SDK to Flex Builder and I am able to compile my projects with it. The problem I have is, that changes to MXMLC are not immediately reflected in Flex Builder. Cleaning or closing and re-opening my Flex project is not sufficient. Only after restarting Flex Builder, I see the changes I made to the SDK. I am wondering, what's the most efficient way to test a custom Flex SDK? Regards, Daniel

Subj. Is there a reason why it wouldn't make sense to just pull in Compc or Mxmlc into Ant process (something like calling flex2.tools.Compiler.mxmlc(...) or even hooking deeper into compiler and skipping whole "encode parameters as command line options->parse command line options" step?

Hi All, is Flex compiler efficient in reusing of code i.e. If I write following chunk of code what how these get compiled Y=a.y.getTime(); X=a.y.getTime(); Whether flex compiler will replace one statement for above two same expressions or not? As Var time= a.y.getTime(); Y= time; X= time; Thanks & Regards, Neelam

Welcome to the Flex SDK Developers list. We'll be using this list to discuss underlying development issues of the Flex SDK. This is not meant for questions about how to use the SDK, for that you should use flexcoders. But if you've used Subversion to check out the SDK and are looking at source code, this is the place to discuss.

One thing about scrollbar thats always annoyed me is that the thickness for scrollbars is hardcoded to 16 pixels as a const. The scrolltrack, scrollthumb and scroll arrow skins also reference this constant for determining their size. The question is, is this intentional and would a patch that turns these into style properties be rejected? I would like to bake the styles into Container and ScrollControlBase as the style properties "horizontalScrollBarThickness" and "verticalScrollBarThickness".

Hi, all. I am getting a one record result set from a RemoteObject call to a CFC. No problems there. I then put that into an ArrayCollection. Next, I want to display the individual fields in a form using TextInput fields. I can't find any documentation on how to get the fields out. The fields returned are ID, TicketNumber, Title, URL, etc. Again, only 1 ticket is returned in the query. I tried: <mx:TextInput id="txtinputTicketNumber" text="{AltirisDetailsResultArray.TicketNumber}"/> But I get an error when compiling: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property TicketNumber through a reference with static type mx.collections:ArrayCollection. I tried various other ways, but nothing works. Thanks, all.

Hello Could you please assist me with such issue I am using a Canvas object like a container for images (Image class). My application loads 500-1000 images (tiles) dynamically and then displays them. Everything works fine but the memory grows up to 300Mb. Here is a code: private function GetLoop(layer:String):void { var canvas:Canvas = new Canvas(); for(var i:Number = 0; i < curFrames; i++) { var img:Image = new Image(); img.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, OnImageLoaded); img.load(urlReq); canvas.addChild(img); } }

I am trying to built a custom class and wonder if it's possible to create a text field that will show in Flex project for example, simple script like the one below, will create a text field in Action script project, but if I want the text to be displayed in Flex project what do I do? I am not sure if it's even possible... PS I can't use the compile swf file since the info is being pushed dynamically and I want to be able to move the message on the screen. package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.text.TextField; public class text extends MovieClip { public function text() { var field:TextField = new TextField(); addChild(field); field.text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Morbi tortor purus, aliquet a, ornare ac, suscipit a, est."; } } }
