First Flex Project - Skinning Component?

I am working on my first flex project for the college that I work for. We are making a large touch screen into a display for all of the awards that we have given out over the years and taking the old plaques off the walls.
I want to iterate over a list of names and years that the awards were given so that each instance of the award looks like it is on it's own little plate. I'm just imitating the plaques that were on the wall that had a big discription and name of the plaque on one plate and all the winners of the award on their own little plates beneath it.
Is this what I would a component skin for? I'm sorry if this is to much of a newbie question.

Very cool indeed.
I added it to my ChikaraDev directory of rich internet
applications:

It could use a progress bar though. The screen where it will
appear is blank till it loads. But very nice use of Flex!

Flex Project Management

Hi,
I am planning to build a flex project with a small group of people. So, I am thinking to have one main project to load all the component (SWF) in swf loader, so that I can have the component to be distributed to everyone. Here I want to ask:
1. Besides local connection, what is the other best, fastest, and most stable way to have the main application to communicate with child application loaded via swf loader?
2. As each person may working on their own part, how to set up the project so that they can easily debug their part with the main application during the development?
3. The project will be deploy in both Air and web format. How to share the code base for both development so that we are easier to grow and maintain the app?
Thanks. Please advise if you have better way for group development.

take a look at the first part of this video where he talks about different architectures
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/max-2010-develop/flexactionscript-30-architecture-and-dependency -injection-frameworks-overview/
you also might find this useful. Some example case studies for web/mobile apps, the same principle could be applied to web/desktop apps

Flex project into a single SWC file!!

please help me with this problem:
i created an image gallery using actionscript 3.0 classes in Flash CS4...in one of the classes, i used a mask Movieclip to mask the thumbnails in the gallery...this mask movieclip is a rectangle Movieclip symbol in the library that is exported for actionscript...
in order to run my application in Flex 3, i did the following:
a. i placed the classes in a folder called "com"
b. i placed my assets (the images) in folder called "images"
placed both "com" & "images" folders in the "src" folder of my Flex project
c. i exported the mask movieclip symbol from the Flash library as a SWC file, and placed the SWC file in the "lib" folder of my Flex project
d. i dragged my custom component (image gallery) onto the stage
e. in the main MXML application file, i went to "Design Mode" and found my custom component under the "Custom" folder..i dragged the component on the stage
and my gallery worked fine!
now the problem happened when i tried to compile the WHOLE Flex project as a SINGLE SWC file...in order to compile the whole Flex project as a SINGLE SWC file, i did the following:
1. i created a new Flex Library Project
2. i placed my classes folder ("com") and my images folder ("images") in the "src" directory of the Flex library project
3. i went to Project --> Properties --> Flex Library Build Path -->
- on the "Classes" tab, i checked the ("com") folder which contains all of the classes
- on the "Assets" tab, i checked the ("images") folder which contains all of the images
- on the "Library Path" tab, i clicked the "Add SWC" button, browsed to my mask movieclip SWC file (that i created earlier from the mask movieclip symbol in the library in Flash CS4) and selected it
I then pressed Ok,and now a SWC file that represents my project was created in the "bin" directory of my Flex library project
4. I created a new Flex project, and in the "lib" folder i placed the SWC file that was created in the Flex Library project...in the main MXML application file, i went to "Design Mode" and found my custom component under the "Custom" folder..i dragged the component on the stage
BUT NOTHING DISPLAYS!!
so obviously there's a problem in "condensing" the whole project as single SWC file
could someone please help me!!
thanx a lot

I am also facing same problem, when i am including librabry in application not able to see any image...............can you tell me the solution.................................thanks

Bad news if I can't debug cfcs in a flex project

I'm trying to debug a cfc in a flex project Coldfusion builder installed as a plugin is Flash builder 4
But I'm getting a message saying:
File does not belong to a coldfusion project. Apply Coldfusion nature to the project to which the file belongs.
This is bad news if I can't debug cfcs in a flex project

Here are the targets (simplified) that are specific to the cfml export. The real build.xml reads a build.properties file for the variables, and main runs the flex build first:

Problem calling AS3 class's methods from Flex Project

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but after 2 days of Web
searching and 2 books give up; I am a Java and c# programmer and am
having problems calling AS3 classes (in packages) from Flex Builder
2 Flex Projects; the AS3 classes work great as Flex Builder "AS3
Projects", but when I try to use the classes in a Flex Builder
"Flex Project" I am able to see and set their properties, but
cannot see (through "code completion") their methods (unless the
class extends another AS3 class; and in that case I can see the
base class's methods). Here is the code:
AS3 Example Class:
package asText {
public class CheckWord {
public var strData:String;
public var strAProperty:String;
public var intAProperty:int;
// Constructor
public function CheckWord() {
public function TestMethod():void {
trace("test...");
public function WordLength():int {
var intLength:int = 0;
trace(strData);
intLength = strData.length;
return intLength;
} // From Method WordLength
} // From Class CheckWord
} // From Package asText
The MXML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute"
width="442" height="488" horizontalAlign="center"
verticalAlign="middle"
backgroundGradientColors="[#c0c0c0, #c0c0c0]"
xmlns:asTheText="asText.*"
>
<asTheText:CheckWord strData="Test words" />
<mx:Panel title="Welcome to ........" width="337"
height="393" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle"
layout="absolute" y="15" x="50">
<mx:Text text="First Name" enabled="true" width="68"
fontWeight="bold" x="27.25" y="36"/>
<mx:TextInput id="txtFName" x="112.25" y="34"/>
<mx:Text text="Last Name" enabled="true" width="68"
fontWeight="bold" x="27.25" y="66"/>
<mx:TextInput x="112.25" y="64" id="txtLName"/>
<mx:Text text="email address" enabled="true" width="87"
fontWeight="bold" x="17.25" y="96"/>
<mx:TextInput width="189" id="txtEmail" left="112.25"
top="94"/>
<mx:Button id="butSubmit" label="Submit" x="95" y="194"
click="asTheText:TestMethod();"/>
..............and so on ............
All this does is give me an 1180 error:
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method TestMethod.
flexConveyMovie1.mxml

Thanks, I have it working; I was not assigning an "ID" to the
"MXML use of the class" (whatever the formal name for that is;
like: <asTheText:CheckWord id="MyText" strData="The Data" />
) and then I was not referencing that ID in what I am refering to
as calling methods for the Class; like:
<mx:Button id="butTest" label="Test Function" x="39"
y="208" click="MyText.TestMethod();"/>
Also, I did some tests on this, and I am shocked that
apparently neither of these two "uses"(?) of a custom AS3 class
actually "call" the Class's constructor. Does that make sense or is
that the result of how I am structuring this?

How to use .as files from AS3 project into Flex project

I'm new.
I created a ActionScript 3 project
I created 2 .as files, which put up a Sprite which moved around. It worked fine.
Now, I want to put that onto my web-site.
So I created a Flex Builder 3 project.
I moved those 2 .as files into it.
I added code to access and display the moving Sprite.
But, each attempt gave me an empty screen.
My main confusion is the following:
I have class BaseClass in file 1
and SubBaseClass extends BaseClass in file 2.
Within the Flex project .mxml file, how do I reference the SubBaseClass so that the object will appear?
I tried things like:
<mx:Application ... completionComplete="init()" >
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function init():void
var myclass:SubBaseClass = new SubBaseClass();
addChild(myclass);
etc (ending stuff)
What do I need to do to make this work
Thanks

Share a flex project into DTR

Hi experts,
has somebody experience to share an flex project into DTR? As I know sharing is only possible for DC types supported by SAP.
Though in NWDS there is a mechanism ('Convert project to Development Component or 'Migrate into Software Component'') possibly to fit this task but it fails always because of, i think, not supported DC type (there are no Dc type for Flex development).
But how can I get my flex source code into DTR in order to maintain, version and sharing with other developers?
Best Regards.
Cemal

Hi Cemal,
if managing versions and sharing code is the only thing you want to do with your Flex resources you can use the [DTR Command line tool|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/8f/88d93f130f9115e10000000a155106/frameset.htm] to do this.
Your are then independent of NWDS (allthough the tool is delivered with NWDS). You'll have to build and deploy your applications yourself and also keep track of the deployed versions.
If you are using NWDS for your development, use the DTR Perspective to create new DTR clients. Add your (Flex) Project folders under the local DTR client and upload the resources. Your colleges should be able to synchronize these sources, when using the same DTR Client name on their machnie. See [Configuring DTR Clients|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/17/73a43f4aa1330ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm] and [Working with the DTR|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/83/74c4ce0ed93b4abc6144aafaa1130f/frameset.htm].
Hope this helps a little.

Alain

My .as class not working in flex project

I have a .as file that extends Sprite and renders visual elements on the screen
package actions {
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     public class MyAction extends Sprite {
          public function MyAction () {
I'm trying to include it as part of a Flex project, to add those shapes to my stage.
I've created a package called actions under src and saved the .as file there.
Because it renders visual elements, I thought I could wrap it as a UI component and add that to the stage.So I created a new .as file MyUIComp.as that basically looks like this:
package actions {
     import actionscript.MyAction;
     import mx.core.UIComponent;
     public class MyUIComp extends UIComponent {
           private var myAction:MyAction;
          public function MyUIComp() {
               myAction = new MyAction();
then in my main mxml, I'm adding it to a UIComponent like this
<mx:UIComponent      id ="actionLocation" />
and in the script section, wiring it:
private function init():void {
     var actionToStage:MyUIComp = new MyUIComp();
     actionLocation.addChild(actionToStage);
I don't get any errors, but nothing shows up on the stage either.
Can someone be kind enought to tell me what I maybe doing wrong. I'm a bit new, so maybe I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks,
David
P.S. Ideally I wouldn't create a wrapper MyUIComp class to make my class extend UIComponent. I would use the original class like this:
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     import mx.core.UIComponent;
     public class MyAction extends Sprite UIComponent {
but this double extends doesn't seem to work

In your custom UIComponent class, your never added your myAction instance. Try this for the MyUIComp constructor:
public function MyUIComp() {
    myAction = new MyAction();
    this.addChild(myAction);
If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.
