PlayerGlobal.swc interfaces: legal issues

Hi,
Our company is about to create and distribute (and possibly to sell ) the utility to convert Silverlight apps to its equivalents on Flash.
For this purpose we're writing our own AS3-compiler. The compiler for correct work must know how to interact with the classes
backed into the FlashPlayer. The Flex Builder solves it by using the playerglobal.swc that is the part of its distribution package.
As far as I know we have no right to redistribute the separate playerglobal.swc without the rest of Flex SDK.
And here is the question:
Tehnically we're able to learn all the class interfaces defined inside of the playerglobal.swc with the help of e.g. the plugin ExportSWC (shipped for FlashDevelop) and redeclare them inside of our own swc (e.g. named PlayerGlobalInterfaces.swc) or somehow else. It would be enough for the correct work of our AS3-compiler without the need of using playerglobal.swc at all. But I'm not sure would it violate any copyrights or not?
Thanks.

Thanks for the response.
In addition I've found another thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/423432

Flash can't load playerglobal.swc, flash.swc, ik.swc

My copy of Flash CS4 has stopped publishing AS3 swf files. Everytime I try to export a swf I get these three warnings in the compiler errors window:
Warning: unable to load SWC flash.swc, Warning: unable to load SWC ik.swc, Warning: unable to load SWC playerglobal.swc
The swf is blank and no code executes. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times but the problem persists. Anyone got any ideas?

I can't see how I'm casting it as a movieClip. I get the error on the line:
gameScreen = new mcGame(); I've had no problems until I gave the text fields an instance name.
mcGame is the flex component with the text fields on it.

I want to put a Firefox link in a Freeware section of my website, is there any legal issue?

Godd afternoon,
I have a comapny website and we are making a freeware software section.
I want to put a Firefox link there (http://www.cloudinfo.pt), is there any legal issue?
Can I host the package or just insert the link?
Thanks.

hello Fernando, there shouldn't be any issue with that, but for details please refer to Mozilla's trademark policy at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/trademarks/policy/ - especially the part about software distribution & linking.

Why is playerglobal.swc not included in trunk build of Flex 4.5

Hi, i've downloaded the latest from the Flex SVN trunk, and built it with Ant in every way I can possibly think of (after running Ant -projecthelp).
I have Flex 4.5 configured as my Flex SDK in Flex Builder 3, but since playerglobal.swc is not there, I'm missing core libraries. I'm adding playerglobal.swc from an old downloaded version of Flex 4, which seems to work, but why would this swc not get built from the trunk?
Thanks,
Peder J.

Hmm, it's there but it seems to behave differently in flash builder. When I have the playerglobal.swc from 4.5 in my trunk, I can only access a few limited packages in code assist in Flex Builder:
But when I add playerglobal.swc from Flex 4 that I downloaded a while back, Code assists gives me access to the full library
Here is the version:
<flex-sdk-description>
<name>Flex 4.0</name>
<version>4.0.0</version>
<build>7219</build>

Design mode could not load playerglobal.swc.

I'm getting this warning
Design mode could not load playerglobal.swc. It may be incompatible with this SDK, or invalid. (DesignAssetLoader.CompleteTimeout)
I installed Flash Builder 4 Beta 2
And added the
Player Global SWC
Create content using the new APIs available in Flash Player 10.1 using Adobe Flash Builder 4 or Adobe Flex Builder 3. Installation instructions are included within the ZIP file.
Download Player Global SWC (ZIP, 294 KB)
How do I eliminate this warning?
Thanks,
Don

Hi,
If you want to use the new fp 10.1 features I would recommend that you download the latest nightly build of the sdk, this includes features required for 10.1 and also has both both globalplayer swc's. You can then target then player 10.0.0 or 10.1.0 in the project settings.
Also make sure that the flashplayer 10.1 beta is correctly installed.

Playerglobal.swc Linkage Type: External or Merged Into Code?

Hi,
I downloaded Flash Pro CS6 with flex sdk version 11.3. It didn't contain Workers functionality, so I had to download the latest playerglobal.swc 11.8 version.
I then used Actionscript options and pointed to the playerglobal.swc.
When I published the fla with playerglobal.swc linkage type set to Merged into Code, the runtime pops up this error:
VerifyError: Error #1079: Native methods are not allowed in loaded code.
However, when I published the fla with playerglobal.swc linkage type set to External, the runtime pops up this error:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.system::Worker could not be found.
The only way to get rid of the VerifyError: Error #1079: Native methods are not allowed in loaded code is to get rid of all the code that reference Workers in the fla.
How can I use Workers in my project!???

Here's a really old article but using it you can still get the general idea of how to properly update Flash Pro with a new version of Flash Player.
http://chrisgriffith.wordpress.com/2012/07/20/updating-flash-professional-cs6-to-support-1 1-4/
It's for Mac but if you're on Windows the paths inside the folders are the same and Flash itself can be found in (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS6) Just grab the player you choose, latest or use the archive link for older, update Flash Pro so it's an option you can select as a publish target:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
As long as you've updated your debugger (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS6\Players\Debug) with the latest debugger, always test with the debugger (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just CTRL+ENTER). Otherwise you're using an older Flash Player. You can verify the version of the debugger you're testing with checking the Capabilities.version property,
e.g.:
import flash.system.Capabilities;
trace(Capabilities.version); // should say 11,8,xxx,xxx or whatever version you installed

In PP Interface related issues the role of functional consultant

In PP Interface related issues what is the role of functional consultant . what is the approach steps to analyse and resolve the issues in XI, interface, idoc, etc.,

For issues relating to interfaces, a functional person would need to diagnose what is causing the issue & thereby informing the technical person where to fix it, if the issue is due to system setup.
As regards to the steps, I just wish there was a manual which read something like
10 steps on how to analyze....
unfortunately there is none that I have come across or even if one is ever written on those lines will be very specific, so not much of use for your need. A good approach would be to have a clear understanding of what the interface is supposed to do, which would assist you in fixing the issues.

However, apps are for individual use, so if it's a company or a school (why else would you have 100 iPads?) , there will need to be one license/purchase for each device.

Interface scripring issue

Hi all.
Just playing with extendscript toolkit and ps cs5, i Have an issue with javascript based panels.
Both my attempts and toolscript samples ebete a New window object is created as panel or window disappear as Sion as shown.
Otherwise modals persist (the script us dispenser and my window not garbaged).
How to solve the problem?
ThNk's, Andrea

Oh yeah the mouseover->layer creation is not a problem but only a practical
situation. The answer is "JS cannot be used to create panels"... thank's
it's as i doubt :/
A solution could be using Adobe Configurator 2.0 to draw the panel and JS
for code automation... i just discovered it on Labs: i'll try for a while.

Legal issues against tweaking Swing sources?

Hello,
I needed in my application a TableCellRenderer which would behave exactly like a default one, except it would cut out the left part of the text when it is too long to fit into table cell (that is, it would transform, say, "something here" to "...ing here" instead of "somethin...")
I looked at DefaultTableCellRenderer, but found no method which would satisfy my needs. So there was nothing to it but to write a custom renderer. But how? Further investingation showed that Swing uses the method javax.swing.SwingUtilities.layoutCompoundLabel internally to create the abbreviation at need. So, I grabbed Swing sources which come bundled with the SDK, took the code of that method along with some others (if it were only possible to avoid copy-pasting...), reworked slightly to fit my needs and packed into a neat subclass.
It does work. But my question is: are there any legal issues regarding this approach? What, if anything, must I do to be fair with the license? Or is it not possible at all?
The application is a non-commercial (although I do get paid for it), scientific project which is not currently GPL'ed, but may become so in the future.
Sincerely,
Daniel Janus

Are you sure you want to do that. If you do something like that, then when you distribute your application, your clients will have to have your version of the code. And, what about when sun upgrades the class you are modifying. You would have to modify the new one if it still behaved the sameway. What a maintainable nightmare.
Personally, I normally write my own JTable and TableModel as well as my own editors and renderers. I think I use the default cell renderer for String data types though. I don't remember ever seeing it display in the manner you describe. You could always increase the cell size if you want. Just for fun's sake, let me give you an example of a CellRenderer:package some.package.name;
import javax.swing.table.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.Serializable;
* The cell renderer for Date and DateTime data types.
* Used to display formatted Date data. Must be registered with
* a particular table. Use the following code to do this.<BR><BR>
* <code>table.setDefaultRenderer(Date.class, new SomeDateRenderer());</code>
* from within your JTable.
* @author your name here
public class SomeDateRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer implements Serializable {
     * Default Date Format String for formatting dates in this renderer.
     public static final String DATE_FORMAT_STR = "MM/dd/yyyy";
     * Default Time Format String for formatting times in this renderer.
     public static final String TIME_FORMAT_STR = "HH:mm";
     * Default DateTime Format String for formatting dates in this renderer.
     public static final String DATETIME_FORMAT_STR = DATE_FORMAT_STR+" "+TIME_FORMAT_STR;
     * Constructor.
   public SomeDateRenderer() {
          super();
          setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
     }//end constructor
     * (override) Standard getTableCellRendererComponent.
     public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
               boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
        super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table,value,isSelected,hasFocus,row,column);
      if (value != null && !value.equals("")) {
         String formatStr = null;
         if (value instanceof java.util.Date) {
            setText(new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT_STR).format(value));
         } else if (value instanceof java.sql.Time) {
            setText(new SimpleDateFormat(TIME_FORMAT_STR).format(value));
         } else if (value instanceof java.sql.Timestamp) {
            setText(new SimpleDateFormat(DATETIME_FORMAT_STR).format(value));
      } else {
         setValue(value);
        return this;
   }//end getTableCellRendererComponent method
}//end SomeDateRendererAnyways, you can write a renderer to be anything you want. This is just a rudimentary example. I hope it helps.

Legal issues?

Why have there been no answers from Adobe in this forum for the past few weeks? Is Adobe backing away from this initiative? Have they run into legal issues with Apple regarding the developer licence or any other aspect of the iPhone application submission process?
There is a lot of speculation right now about CS5 dev for the iPhone in general, so it seems strange that Adobe is not interested in their developers questions unless there is some issue they are currently dealing with.

On the contrary, there has been no public response from Apple (negative or positive) and the work is continuing at full speed.
There are three reasons you haven't seen much activity from Adobe employees the last few weeks:
October 11-17 was an official "shut down" week for Adobe (North America) employees. With very few exceptions nobody was allowed to work that week.
The teams that are building this are working feverishly to fix bugs, improve performance, and finish features in time for the public beta later this year. (Keep in mind that for a large project such as Adobe builds, before a public release the code is locked down for several weeks of testing and final fixing, so feature work needs to be wrapped up before that time.)
There isn't any new public information since MAX. Many of the questions are either asking for information that is answered in the public articles and FAQs, or else is asking for information that we can't answer right now because it's not public information.
The best thing I can say is to keep working on planning and building your content using existing publicly available resources (Flash CS4 using Flash Player and AIR apis, as described in the various FAQs) and when the public beta is available there will be opportunity for you to ask more questions (and test things out for yourself).

Plugin legal issues

Hi,
Could anyone instruct me as to what legal issues there are (if any) in regard to actually selling an AE plugin? Is there any documentation on this? Or agreements that need to be made with Adobe?
Also, i'd be interested to know if there was any such issues with selling project files, for example, if you had a collection of project files you'd created you wanted to sell to the general public.
Regards

Legal issues: None! Go for it!
Just NEVER ship any files from WITHIN the SDK. See the copyright blurb at the top of each file, for details.
Build with the headers; don't SHIP the headers.

Is there any legal issue for not renewing support agreement?

Hi,
If a client doesn't renew his technical support contract with Oracle in recession period, he cannot download patches and cant get support.
Can he continue using database as he already paid for licenses?
How long he can use database?
Are their any legal issues?
I will apprecaite suggestions.
TIA

Can he continue using database as he already paid for licenses?Yes you bought a license you own the rights to use it.

Interface freeze issue with Flash Projector

I am facing an interface freeze issue with Flash Projector running a flex state based application. A Flash Projector exe was generated from a standalone flash player ver 10.2. The target machine on which the problem occuresd has 10.3.
Basically "screen freeze" means that the user interface is running as usual on Flash Player, but it's not responding to any user input (like button presses). But if we alt-tab to another application, the state changes in the Flash player. There is display with buttons on the screen, but touching the buttons or doing anything else - it did not respond. Rebooting the computer fixes the problem.
Can you suggest why this is happening? Is there any known bug in Flash Player.
The problem is this is being hard to reproduce on the developer workstation as it doesn't happen always. But it happens quite often on the target machine running an Intel Atom N270. What debugging steps can you suggest?
Problem Description : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z25oV9QWRyk

First, thanks for the video. Having this always makes it much easier to understand the problem. A couple of recommendations. First, if you feel like this might be a player bug, please add a new bug report over at bugbase.adobe.com and if possible please include any sample code or swf's that can help us reproduce the problem internally. Linking the video would also be great. In addition, would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums? This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience who might have additional feedback.
Thanks,
Chris
