Flex optimization

Hey there,
I was wondering if there are any techniques to reduce the filesize of my Flex application? With dynamic linking, it's 41k. With static linking, it's about 300k. What's all that extra heavyweight that brings it up to 300k? And by my understanding, with dynamic linking, if the user doesn't have the required libs, they will auto-download themselves right? I'm curious about whether or not I can make my app be 41k flat and bundled with everything it needs?
Thanks

You can run a link-report to see what is in the other 259K. It will be
mostly infrastructure. Flex is a toolbox of feature-rich components and
infrastructure. It is the same reason that a Swiss Army knife doesn't lie
flat.
For example, the List control doesn't just handle a list of items, it also
has code for drag-drop and tooltips and custom cursors.
If you use dynamic linking you are betting that everyone already has the
Swiss Army knife and that you only need ship the instructions on how to use
it. If they don't have the framework already, it will auto-download it. I
believe it is a pretty safe bet that folks already have the Flex framework
these days.
The only way to get to 41k all-inclusive is to write most of what you are
using from the framework yourself so you only have code for the features you
are using. That will probably take much longer than just setting properties
on the framework components.

Unable to load app with rsl

Please help!!
My company project has 2 component libraries (swc) and 4-5 separate flex apps that use the 2 component libraries. So far, the entire project has been build using "merge in code" and it is working fine. However, some of the applications are getting so big that we need to reduce the overall size of all components and apps. Using ant (flextask), I try to compile the components and the apps using the framework RSL and I was be able to get everything compiled and linked, but when I try to load one of the application at run time, nothing happens - I got no errors, just a blank, empty default screen.

Thanks in advance.

If you are going to use RSLs in a multi-SWF project, it is recommended that
the first app load the RSLs and the others don't.

Flex sdk incremental build will lose swc information

I have a mxmlc ant task job like this
 <mxmlc
 file="${trunk_dir}/main/src/main.mxml"
 output="${local_tmp}/app/bin/main.swf"
 >
 <load-config filename="${basedir}/flex-config-sea.xml"/>
 <source-path path-element="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks"/>
 </mxmlc>
in flex-config-sea.xml I put this in for incremental compile and swc build
 <include-libraries>
 <library>/opt/cruisecontrol-bin-2.8.4/projects/sea_client/trunk/main/libs/Mate_08_9.swc</library>

 <library>/opt/cruisecontrol-bin-2.8.4/projects/sea_client/trunk/main/libs/component.swc</library>
 </include-libraries>
 <incremental>true</incremental>
the first time build is ok, but the second time after I changed one single file, the output is

this message normally shows up when there's no Mate_08_9.swc found at runtime. but this shouldn't happen.
is there anyway to work around this? thanks a lot

Somewhere in your pom.xml where you are configuring your build dependancies there will be a line <scope>caching</scope> this line is configuring the build to use a flex runtime shared library. This line is generating the error because caching is not a valid dependancy scope in maven 3 however mojos uses it anyway. There was a defect opened against flexmojos; I've linked it below. Froeder's response to the issue was that it was not fixable, that the warning is expected and that we'll have to live with it for now.

Error in compiling Flex application: 64K byte limit

Hi experts ,
While deploying the VC model , i m getting this error :
Error in compiling Flex application: Error: A function in the code exceeds the 64K byte limit (actual size = '65557'). Since the problem occurs in the compiler-generated deferred instantiation code, please refactor/componentize portions of this document.
 (/usr/sap/NW2/JC00/j2ee/cluster/server0/GUIMachine_Business_Packages/Contribution_Margin_36461/FLEX_COMPILATION_FOLEDR/AAD15VY.mxml:19)
Failed to compile AAD15VY.mxml
Could any one help me out in solving this issue ..its urgent ...
Your suggestions will be rewarded.
Thanks,
Pratima

You have to remove few components from your model to decrease the compiler generated LOC.
Check the following link for detailed solution:
https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=936390
Taken from SAP Notes:
Solution
Doing the following may help:
1.Divide problematic iViews into a number of nested iViews.
2.Optimize each model to reduce the number of elements that it
contains:
a.Reduce the number of signals by merging signals of the same name.
b.When your application updates forms with read-only fields, use
 expression boxes and a data store instead of signals.
c.Minimize the use of animations in your models, including form
 sliding and chart animation effects
d.Use a data store to store variables, instead of invisible forms.
 To display messages, use a simple text rather than a static dynamic
 expression.
3.For on-the-spot, temporary workarounds, you can try dragging an empty
layer onto the Design board. This sometimes solves the problem ad
hoc, but is not recommended as a best practice.

Cisco Flex 7500 controller with client disconnects

Hey All,
There will be alot of info in this post, hopefully all helpful, more info the better right! If you require anymore info to help me out to not hesistate to request it.
We have been having some issues with clients connecting and disconnecting several times a day and having to manually reconnect from the icon on their taskbar. We have about 380 APs, and 200+ more to deploy that we have and are licensed for but are having some issues that we want to resolve first obviously.
Some locations our setup is a bit more complex than this with multiple SSIDs and vlans, but this issue is everywhere so i will keep it to our simple setup for now:
AP Models: AIR-LAP1042N-A-K9, AIR-CAP1602I-A-K9 (Most locations do not have a mix of both, most have 1042s)
Running a single SSID - WPA/WPA2 with: WPA - TKIP and WPA2 - AES on the same SSID.
They talk back to a Cisco Flex 7500 Series through a tunnel (should not be any port blocking preventing communication)
We are running from what i understand a bad firmware version (7.6.100.0) and during our next maintenance window i am going to try and get them to change to a more stable firmware version.
Data Rates of 1,2,5.5,11 Mbps are disabled
TPCv1 coverage running
Automatic Power Assignment
I will not focus on the a/n/ac network as most of our devices are connecting to WPA due to the config they already have.
Ideally i would like to get rid of WPA all together but i am not 100% in control of the decisions to get the started and people here like to delay things lol.
It is hard to say if the issue is specific to a model as we have so few 1602Is, and it is just at our main office. I have not heard many complaints but i have noticed i will now and then get a limited or no connectivity settings on my wireless icon on my PC. I use hard-wired so i don't really notice if it is not working.
In most locations it looks like the controller is doing a decent job at selection channels to use. I did find one spot where it had on 11 APs down a long hallway, and did not use channel 6 once. I statically set that location to stagger the channels to see what kind results we had and am still waiting to hear on that as they complained the most out of all of our locations. In some cases 3 APs in a row were on channel 1 in the hallway, in alot of casses 1 was 2 times in a row as well as 11 so there was alot of overlap.
I am attaching my show sysinfo and show wlan 17 for that informtion, some of the other settings i have changed today that were previously enabled/set different are:
Disabled Cisco Aironet IE
Set channel automatic rescan from 10 mintues to 12 hours as i can image if it is changing the channels alot it can lead to disconnects.
Some of the main things we get in our message log are:
*dot1xMsgTask: Oct 16 15:17:36.943: #DOT1X-4-MAX_EAPOL_KEY_RETRANS: 1x_ptsm.c:508 Max EAPOL-key M5 retransmissions exceeded for client 84:85:06:0b:a6:33

As long as you take the configuration backup downgrading from 7.6.100.0 to 7.4.121.0 should be fine. Because this is Flexconnect deployment, make sure you review the release notes thoroughly as config like vlan mapping is impacted it is painful to reconfigure.
I still think moving to 7.6MR3 & once 8.x get stable going for that code is a good plan. Though 7.4.121.0 is assure wave it does not mean it has no bugs.(remember that prior to this 7.4.110.0 was assure wave & it deferred in quick time) . I would say 8.x going to be the code staying for long time period, so ultimately you have to be there.
In 8.x there are few FlexConnect improvements,one being AP won't reload when you change from local mode to FlexConnect.

Solution manager maintenance optimizer

Hi all,
I have what I think is an issue, and hoping someone could possibly point me in the direction to correct. I have setup our solution manager system and trying to get the maintenance optimizer option working fully. I have a java system that I pull the information from SLD perfectly fine, and it lists all installed software components via SMSY>SYSTEMS perfectly. I have assigned logical components etc. I can create a new maintenance optimizer transaction, select the proper system with assigned components, but when it lists the files to be downloaded automatically I expect to see alot more files available for download than it lists for me. I assume I am missing something, but not sure where to look.
Would anyone be able to possibly point me in the right direction on what I might be missing?
Regards,
Chris

Hi Markus,
The system is SAP EHP1 for SAP Netweaver 7.0. It has the following components installed and specified in logical components:
Adobe Document services
Application server Java
EP Core
Enterprise Portal
Along with the kernel files I also get the following files available for download via maintenance optimizer (6 in total)

FB 4.7 AIR 3.6 Flex 4.9 iOS packing - Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError'

I've got an error similar to Isaac_Sunkes' 'FB 4.7 iOS packaging - Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError',
but the causes are not related to what he discovered, corrupt image or other files, I'd exclude bad archive contents in my project.
I'm using Flash Builder 4.7 with Adobe AIR 3.6 set into an Apache Flex 4.9.1 SDK;
HW system is:
iMac,    2,7 GHz Intel Core i5,    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3,    NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M 512 MB,    OS X 10.8.2 (12C3103)
The Flash project consists in an application with a main SWF file which loads, via ActionScript methods, other SWF in cascade.
I've formerly compiled and run the application on an iPad 1, IOS 5.0.1 (9A405), but got on the device the error alert:
"Uncompiled ActionScript
Your application is attempitng to run
uncompiled ActionScript, probably
due to the use of an embedded
SWF. This is unsupported on iOS.
See the Adobe Developer
Connection website for more info."
Then I changed the FB compiler switches, now are set to:
-locale en_US
-swf-version=19
Please note that without the switch    -swf-version=19     the application is compiled correctly and the IPA is sent to the device
and I can debug it, but iOS traps secondary SWF files and blocke the app usage, as previously told.
they work on deploy of small applications,
but, when I try to build a big IPA file either for an ad-hoc distribution, either for an debug on device, after some minutes long waiting, I get a Java stuck, with this trace:

I've tried to change the Java settings on FB's eclipse.ini in MacOS folder,
-vmargs
-Xms(various settings up to)1024m
-Xmx(various settings up to)1024m
-XX:MaxPermSize=(various settings up to)512m
-XX:PermSize=(various settings up to)256m
but results are the same.
Now settings are back as recommended:
-vmargs
-Xms256m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-XX:PermSize=64m
I've changed the Flex build.properties
jvm.args = ${local.d32} -Xms64m -Xmx1024m -ea -Dapple.awt.UIElement=true
with no results; now I'n get back to the standard:
jvm.args = ${local.d32} -Xms64m -Xmx384m -ea -Dapple.awt.UIElement=true
and now I truely have no more ideas;
could anyone give an help?
many thanks in advance.

I solved this. It turns out the app icons were corrupt. After removing them and replacing them with new files this error went away.

Session in Flex

You can Use the following class as a session in flex..
[Bindable]
private var session:Session = Session.getInstance();
How to insert data to session
session.setAttribute('username','sanka')
How to retrive data from session
var userName:String=session.getAttribute('username');
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7375335/Session.as
package model
 import flash.utils.Dictionary;
 [Bindable]
 * @author Sanka Senavirathna
 *
 * Conforms to Singleton Design Pattern.
 * 
 * 
 * Session.getInstance().getAttribute(key)
 * Session.getInstance().setAttribute(key,value)
 * Code example for client

 private var session:Session = Session.getInstance();
 session.getAttribute('name')
 * 
 public class Session
 private static var instance:Session = new Session();

I think This will help you to keep your shaired data in single place.this will optimize your program by
reducing database hits,
reducing Server hits
Onece you retrive the data then put it into session (flex) and retrive it when you need..For example username in system.when user logged successfully
put the user object in to session and hide the login component.then pop-up your other component.But you can access the user data from session by using
var user:User=Session.getInstance().getAttribute('user'); something like that.
Hope this will help you.
enjoy
happy cording

Flex 4 web application not loading (blank white swf)

We've recently updated our code-base from the Flex 4 Beta 2 SDK to the Flex 4 final SDK. The release builds using the final SDK do not load on all user's machines (the Beta 2 builds were all ok). The flash player version varies on our systems, but in all cases the version is higher than 10.0. All machines (we all use Win XP sp3) with the debug player will load the release version without a problem. Some machines with the non debug player will load the application, others will not (it loads to a blank white swf and the Flex SDK does not load (the preloader is not visible)).
In the compiler settings in Flash Builder 4, I've tried to add -debug=false -optimize=true but that had no effect. I've also done a search for any debug-only code in the application (there are 2 "trace" statements in there) and have commented that code out. Also no effect.
Any suggestions as to where I should look next?

Yup, we tried that, but it didn't fix anything.
One thing we did do was go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html on all of the computer where it didn't work. After going there, the site loaded fine. I'm not sure if going to the site had anything to do with it (I don't see how it would), but in all cases, after visiting that site, the application loaded fine. Very strange. I guess it could be that one of our load balancing servers wasn't serving the application correctly and it fixed itself in the time that we went to that site.
Is it posible that the Flash player was not registered on the system correctly and by visiting that site, it registered correctly?

Flex and zend , php services - soooo slow. any ideas?

Hey Folks,
I have a flex application that uses PHP services with the Zend framework.
When I run it locally, the speed is great. My largest query returns data to my datagrid in 2-3 seconds.
When I do run it locally, it is pulling from the production database.
When I move the project to my dedicated server, the same query takes a painful 30 seconds.
When I run the SQL query directly in MYSQL, it is back to around 2 seconds. So the problem is not the query itself.
So, any ideas why the results would take so much longer in my production environment? I purposely purchased dedicated server hosting because I thought it might of been server load. That didn't help. The queries are not complex at all. The most they return is under 200 rows.
In summary: Why would my results set populate so much quicker on my development computer than on the production server?
Using:
Flash builder 4
mysql
php
zendframweork
Thank you for any assitance.
-greg

Your question seems to be outside of the scope of this forum. But as someone who uses Zend_AMF and PHP for a backend I'll take a whack. Have you analyzed your query, you may discover some inefficiencies there ? This could be a problem if you have many joins, not leading you "WHERE" statement off with the most selective property and so on and so on try basic db optimizations if you haven't already. Are you using an ORM of any kind ? These can add to the time it takes to get results back, especially if you have lazy loading enabled instead of bringing back associated objects with your query and not on the fly. The next step I would check would be for any type of serialization issues that might arise if you are doing so. Even though a database usually isn't considered "large" until it has 10's of millions of rows, joins as I have verified the hardway, when done incorrectly without any type of keys or indexing can be particularly painful.

Flash CS3 vs. Flex Builder 2

Here's the $64,000 question: should we be developing in Flash
CS3 or should we shift over to Flex Builder 2? I maintain that AS
3.0 is a pain in the proverbial, but I've been researching and
finding as much help as possible online about it, and I've found
that by and large people are using Flex Builder 2 as the basis of
tutorials about AS 3.0. Does anyone have an official slant on this
question? Should we abandon Flash for Flex? Will it help? Will it
mitigate the difficulties non-programmers are experiencing with AS
3.0 - or as I call it simply ***? Would I be getting more responses
to my *** questions if I post them over in the *** forum under Flex
Builder?
Any thoughts on this matter would be most welcome, thank
you.

Beatie3,

I don't know that I'd call it a luxury, really. Work is
work. ;) As
you might imagine, though, Flex Builder 2 provides a number
of scripting
improvements over the Actions panel (there's really no
comparison; if you've
tried them both, the Actions panel barely feels useful) and
the Flex
framework offers significantly more UI Components. Ideally,
if the pocket
book allows it, using both applications is the killer setup.

When you say imported, you mean dynamically loaded (loaded
at runtime),
right? Otherwise, I'm confused. The Flash IDE itself allows
you to
determine the quality of imported JPGs. In ActionScript 3.0
... are you
talking about the Stage.quality property?

Not sure what might be tripping you up, actually. The
coordinate grid
is the same. Horizontally, higher numbers move toward the
right;
vertically, higher numbers move toward the bottom. That's the
same as it's
been.

Having heard what you're after, I just started a quick
experiment from
scratch. Here's my version, below. Note: I've made no effort
to optimize
my code. This is just a first draft to achieve a blue line
segment with
green dots on each end that becomes a black line segment when
the mouse
lifts.
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;
var canvas:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(canvas);
canvas.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
mouseDownHandler);
canvas.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
mouseUpHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
startX = mouseX;
startY = mouseY;
var dot:Sprite = new Sprite();
dot.name = "dotStart";
dot.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
dot.graphics.drawCircle(mouseX, mouseY, 5);
dot.graphics.endFill();
canvas.addChild(dot);
dot = new Sprite();
dot.name = "dotEnd";
dot.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
dot.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 5);
dot.graphics.endFill();
canvas.addChild(dot);
canvas.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,
enterFrameHandler);
function enterFrameHandler(evt:Event):void {
var dot:DisplayObject = canvas.getChildByName("dotEnd");
dot.x = mouseX;
dot.y = mouseY;
canvas.graphics.clear();
canvas.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x0000FF);
canvas.graphics.moveTo(startX, startY);
canvas.graphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
function mouseUpHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
canvas.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,
enterFrameHandler);
canvas.removeChild(canvas.getChildByName("dotStart"));
canvas.removeChild(canvas.getChildByName("dotEnd"));
canvas.graphics.clear();
canvas.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x000000);
canvas.graphics.moveTo(startX, startY);
canvas.graphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
There's a lot of repeated code there, and this isn't how I'd
leave the
above in an actual project, but by spilling out a rough cut
like this, I'm
hoping it gives you something to work with -- showing the
mechanics of how
this might be done.

Flex Debugger

Flex Builder 3 has a brilliant debugger and I would like to
debug my Flash code in it. The Flash debugger is not as good. How
can I develop my applications in Flash and debug them in
Flex?

Okay, figured out a solution to this fdb issue:
Swishsoft, with their useless swf optimizer, make 3
significant changes to your computer's registry, indicating that
their useless swf optimizer is the default JAR Launcher, creating
conflicts with fdb's attempts to launch your debug swf file.
I deleted all 3 entries in the registry (2 of them reverted
back to their default state), and now fdb works as it was designed
to. Problem solved :)
NOTE: Modifying your computer's registry could render your
computer kaput. Tinker carefully ;)

Of course, I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it, but as I understand it, each module needs to have its own MXMLC block. Personally, I don't like that idea, because it hampers development. Each time I create a new module I need to update my build script? That's a little too tightly coupled for my tastes.
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, that would be great!

hi tw
I did my certification in SAP SD from Bangalore by month of October 2012, after that
i received only one opportunity to attend interview at Capgemini, I cleared my
interview but unluckily project was canceled and they haven't done any recruitment.
your view is add on Knowledge, still I am maintaining studying, at least every day 7hrs plus, but problem is, job market or industry not have need of certified person, companies prefer to get 3 years real time exp persons more willingly than certified fresher.
I had discussed with few of the HR managers, their reply was, in certification course there is no real time project training, it’s just about overall SAP concept, so we prefer 1 or 2 years exp people.
So my opinion is going for SAP SD certification is useless and money wasting.
Thanks

How Open source Flex looks to a mid level developer

Here is my response to a post Matt made on a blog:
THe whole post:
http://blog.simb.net/2009/01/19/take-flex-back-for-the-community/
@Matt
1st off thanks, now my input:
The crux of your criticism seems to be that the process that we use for decision-making is closed its certainly not how we feel
Unfortuntly, this seems like a case of bad commuication by Adobe and the Flex team. If notable community experts get the impression of closed doors, then *certainly* the rest of us get this impression as well.
but there has been very little participation from the community so far
Im a solid dev, and not an expert but I can contribute in things such as testing and low level optimization; But, the Adobe open source site is a galactic disaster and discourages me from getting invloved. It has so many webpages that just go around in circles - filled with text that is verbose, this frustrates me to a great deal. As opposed to somehting straight foreward like:
http://framework.zend.com/download/latest
or
http://code.google.com/p/papervision3d/
Everything is here and easily notable. I avoid the seamingly endless pages and confusion. If I want to get to the Flex dev mailing list I have to register, then choose the lists, add the lists to my account. go though my account prefs read some directions.. then set up some other preferences..jeeeezzzz. If I want to submit a feature request I am directed to create another login for some Bug and Issue management? HUH? I thought I was submitting a featue request.
Right on papervisions google HOME page I see Getting started > Papervision3D Mailing List.
Next when I finially do get to Flex SVN, this trunk. is nothing like I have seen.what IS all this stuff and where do I go to learn about it? There are countless subfolders filled with things I vaguely understand and if I want to learn what it is. where do I go? Is there even a src folder?
Here is a classic example.
Flex trunk Read Me:
http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/trunk/README.txt
vs.
Zend Trunk Read me:
http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/trunk/README.txt
*What* is the Flex team thinking with this?
I just spent 5 minutes or so twirling through all these SVN directories and Adobes website and I am clueless. I feel like the project is unessarily complex and disorganized - even if it isnt. This just convinced me to delete my Flex sdk bookmark on my SVN client.
Adobe just lost one potential contributor to Flex SDK.
We have another idea that were bouncing around that I hope to share in a week or two but wont get into now.
Saying stuff like this is what gives people the impression of closed. Why not post these ideas the Flex team has? Even if it is stupid or incomplete
Thats the whole point.

Wow, thanks for your response. This is great. I now understand that I had a combination of prejudice and ignorance when regarding Adobe Open Source. Perhaps my ignorance on these particulars is something that other devs encounter ( that whole perception thing ). I have chatted with people who consider the Flex SDK and Flex Builder... not the same... but fused together so much that it'd be just crazy to try and use one with out the other When I mention using Flex without Flex Builder.... people get that glazed over look in their eyes....( FYI I'm a FDT man, but am keeping a close eye on the new Flex Builder ) I'll use Zend as an example ( it's the best that I can come up with ) but I feel like there is a difference between the open source framework and Zend Studio ( commercial software ). Anyway, I'm really excited about how you've responded to all this. I have more ideas, but Ill sit on them and think it through and get ready for next weeks meeting.
