Using SWC Component in Flex

After creating a MovieClips symbol in flash CS3 and
converting it to flex component, I succeeded in exporting it
to SWC and included it in the flex mxml file. However, when I
run the applications, the MovieClips failed to display. Did anyone
have similar experiences?

>>You will need to put a little code here to better
understand, but as a guess, you might not have wrapped the
MovieClip in a UIComponent before adding it to the Flex display
list.
No. If the symbol in Flash was converted to a Flex Component,
this step is already taken care of.
Follow the example by Peter Ent to check if you have setup
the symbol in Flash correctly.

Using Jumpeye Component in Flex

Hi,
has anyone successfully used Jumpeye's Drop Down Tree Menu
Component V3 in Flex 3? It's a great component to use in flash, the
submenus open and close on rollover/rollout (something I have not
been able to acheive with the Flex menubar). I used the flex
component kit to export the Jumpeye component from flash and
imported the swc into flex builder (I also imported the relevant
classes etc, inc faking an instance of mx.core.UIComponent(as per a
document I found on afcomponent's site). It works great on a simple
level (i.e. using defaults) but fails when I try to set any style
properties (these are done via an xml file with tags predefined by
Jumpeye in the component shim). I'm pretty new to Flex and am
obviously doing something very wrong, however, Jumpeye were not
able to help me as their focus is flash, although they commented
that clients of theirs have used the component successfully within
Flex.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using SWC's during development

Right now I am part of a team that is making a base framework
for a single Flex application. When the framework is complete, less
experience programmers will make the actual screens for the
application using the standard components and architecture we have
made. We want to encapsulate the framework into an .swc so that the
developers aren't tempted to modify the source or otherwise meddle
with the framework (that is our job). I have made an .swc and
registered it with a project just to see how this will go (all
using Flex Builder) but am extremely distraught to see that there
are no code hints for the classes contained in the .swc. I can
still access them and use them and compile a sample application
with them, but FlexBuilder doesn't acknowledge them the way it did
when it was just raw source code. I have read the docs and they are
heavily bent towards preaching RSL--but we do NOT want to use RSL.
What am I doing wrong? Surely there is a way to register the
.swc to be used in place of source code (.as and .mxml) in Flex
Builder, right?
Are there any tutorials that deal specifically with Flex
Builder?

Hi, thanks for the reply.
Yes I created it using the "Flex Library Project"... I
couldn't see any other way to create the swc in FlexBuilder.
I then copied the .swc file to a template project and
implemented it via "Properties"->"Flex Build Path"-> "Library
Path" -> "Add SWC".
Since it is in the actual project folder, the path was
simply: "ApplicationFramework.swc".
I have only used SWC before with Flex 1.5 which was basically
the same as Flex 2.0 data services. I am not too savvy with the new
implementation (before I made .swc's in Flash IDE).
Currently, we are not using FDS, just the SDK and Flex
Builder. I can't help but suspect you are using the FDS? Would this
problem be the difference between using the "Basic" project and the
"Flex Data Services" project in Flex Builder?

How to use FC to make a sub-component for Flex

Most of the examples and tutorials I've seen so far assume you are creating the app itself in FC.
However, what I need to do is create a custom component that will be a "screen" in a large Flex app, like a page in a Wizard.
So if I was doing this without FC, I'd make a new mxml component in Flex, e.g. "WizardStep.mxml" and then in the main app,
<mx:ViewStack>
<h:WizardStep id="one" label="Step One" />
<h:WizardStep id="two" label="Step Two" />
</mx:ViewStack>
For example, assuming I have set up the namespace "h" to like "com.handycam.*"
How would I accomplish this scenario if "WizardStep" is what I have been building in FC?

Thanks for your answer!
Unfortunately it still doesn't work.
In FC I used the file menu item "publish as swf" ( or however it's called in English -
I'm also struggling with the -unwanted- German workspace terms). This generated
the deploy-to-web and run-local folders. In Flex3, I imported haupt.swf (=main.swf)
from the run-local folder.
When I use the imported file in the Image tag with the
loadForCompatibily attribute set to "true",the application compiles,
opens the IE, the remaining LinkBar buttons are not affected - they
show/run the Flash Pro .swfs and their controls,
but the attempt to access the .swf in question produces:
VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of z in mx.core.UIComponent.
at flash.display::MovieClip/nextFrame()
at mx.managers::SystemManager/deferredNextFrame()[C:\autobuild\3.2.0\frameworks\projects\fra mework\src\mx\managers\SystemManager.as:319]

at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()
at flash.utils::Timer/tick()
The alternative approach:
<mx:SWFLoader x="3" y="35" width="970" height="425" loadForCompatibility="true" source="insets/haupt.swf"/>
produces:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.text.engine::TextLine could not be found.
at global$init()
If I code the SWFLoader tag as:
<mx:SWFLoader x="3" y="35" width="970" height="425" loadForCompatibility="true" source="
@Embed(source='insets/Haupt.swf')"/>
I get the same errors as I did for the Image tag approach.
Hope this helps.

How to set multiple styles on a single component in flex ?

Hi ,
I would like to know how to set multiple styles on a single component in flex.
Can anyone give me an example as to how to set multiple styles for a single component ?
Thanks ,
Regards,
Ajantha

Hi tuliptaurus,
You can setStyleName property for chnaging the external css dynamically by using the setStyle() method ...
btn.setStyle("styleName","blendButtonSkinOther");
You can change the external css by using the styleaName property with setStyle method..the line in blue..where blendButtonSkinOther is another css class..
blendButtonSkin {
    fontFamily: Arial;
    fontSize: 11;
    color: #F1F1F1;
    textRollOverColor: #F1F1F1;
    textSelectedColor: #F1F1F1;
    horizontal-align:center;
    width:150;
    height:30;
    cornerRadius:5;
    upSkin:ClassReference('assets.skins.BlendButtonSkin');
    downSkin:ClassReference('assets.skins.BlendButtonSkin');
    overSkin:ClassReference('assets.skins.BlendButtonSkin');
    disabledSkin:ClassReference('assets.skins.BlendButtonSkin');
    selected-up-skin: ClassReference('assets.skins.BlendButtonSkin');
    selected-down-skin: ClassReference('assets.skins.BlendButtonSkin');

Template Component in Flex 4

I need to use a component several times, in various states of my application.
This component has to be dynamic is the same structure, but will change somewhat from one state to another of my application.
I heard that using the template will facilitate my life!
Does anyone know how to do this?
Can you give me an example of the use of Template in Flex 4?

Is it possible to call a function in a parent component from a child component in Flex 3?

This is probably a very basic question but have been wondering this for a while.
I need to call a function located in a parent component and make the call from its child component in Flex 3. Is there a way to access functions in a parent component from the child component? I know I can dispatch an event in the child and add a listener in the parent to call the function, but just wanted to know if could also directly call a parent function from a child (similar to how you can call a function in the main mxml file using Application.application). Thanks

There are no performance issues, but it is ok if you are using the child component in only one class. Suppose if you want to use the same component as a child to some bunch of parents then i would do like the following
public interface IParentImplementation{
     function callParentMethod();
and the parent class should implement this 'IParentImplementation'
usually like the following line
public class parentClass extends Canvas implements IParentImplementation{
          public function callParentMethod():void{
     //code
in the child you should do something like this.
(this.parent as IParentImplementation).callParentMethod();
Here using the Interfaces, we re decoupling the parent and the child

Tree component in Flex 4

Are there any known issues with the <mx:Tree component in Flex 4?
We have upgraded from Flex 3 builder to Flex 4 builder. Everything works except any where we have used a tree component the data is no longer showing. Has there been a change in how to populate the Tree component? We populate the tree by setting the dataProvider with an ArrayCollection.

@travr,
I'm not aware of any big known issues in mx:Tree between Flex 3.x and Flex 4.x. What problems are you seeing, and can you reproduce the issue with a simple test case (if so, please post the simple test case here and we can take a look).
This works in Flex 3.5:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
    <mx:ApplicationControlBar dock="true">
        <mx:Button id="sdkVer" initialize="sdkVer.label = mx_internal::VERSION;" click="System.setClipboard(sdkVer.label);" />
    </mx:ApplicationControlBar>
    <mx:Tree id="tr" labelField="name" width="200" x="20" y="20">
        <mx:dataProvider>
            <mx:ArrayCollection>
                <mx:Object name="1. One">
                    <mx:children>
                        <mx:Object name="1.1 One" />
                        <mx:Object name="1.2 Two" />
                    </mx:children>
                </mx:Object>
                <mx:Object name="2. Two">
                    <mx:children>
                        <mx:Object name="2.1 One" />
                    </mx:children>
                </mx:Object>
            </mx:ArrayCollection>
        </mx:dataProvider>
    </mx:Tree>
</mx:Application>
And this seems to work in Flex 4.5/Hero beta:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <mx:Tree id="tr" labelField="name" width="200" x="20" y="20">
        <mx:dataProvider>
            <s:ArrayCollection>
                <fx:Object name="1. One">
                    <fx:children>
                        <fx:Object name="1.1 One" />

CF Component in Flex problems

Hi. I am new to ColdFusion, and I am trying to get it working
with Flex 3 and MySQL. Everything works fine if I use HTTP and a
CFM file. Now I am trying to use a RemoteObject with a CF Component
as the source. I know the CFC is configured correctly because I can
call it from a CFM file and get data back from the database. But
when I use the RemoteObject in Flex, I get this error:
[MessagingError message='The MessageAgent's destination must
be set to send messages.']
Where do I set up this MessageAgent, and should this be
necessary? Thanks for any help!

Sorry to tell you but the Application Wizards for CF are
Windows only. I recall some previous forum posts/responses back
around the release of Flex 3 indicating that the application
wizards were written in Windows code that requires DLLs (or some
such). It didn't sound like these extensions were coming to those
of us on Mac or Linux anytime soon, as it would entail an entire
rewrite of the application.
If you really need to use these wizards you can do it with a
"little" workaround:
1. Install Windows XP (or Vista) on your Mac either via Boot
Camp or one of the virtualization applications (VMWare Fusion or
Parallels for Mac).
2. Download Flex Builder 3 for Windows (when you buy Flex,
Adobe gives you the option to download versions either major
platform)
3. Install CF and Flex Builder 3 on your Windows machine
4. Connect to your datasource
5. Run the wizard
6. Export the code to your Mac drive (zip, copy, FTP,
whatever you like)
7. Import the project into your Mac Flex Builder
I certainly don't recommend this option but it is available
if you feel you need the generated applications.
I don't think there would be a licensing issue with Adobe for
this setup since you're using the application locally on your
machine but don't quote me on that.
HTH!

Is it possible to do SLOW REWIND/FORWARD using videoDisplay component?

I am working on a flash player and I want to know whether it is possible to do slow rewind and slow forward using videoDisplay component. Or do I have to use netstream?I am using Flex 4.

You can only change the speed etc. of clips that are in a Project not while they are just in an Event.

Opening of PDF using PAR component

Hello
I'm trying to display a pdf in the portal. The data for the pdf has to come from the backend. My question is as follows:
We've developed a ADOBE print form in R/3 and developed a FM which calls this form.
1. What should be the data type of the parameter that is returned to the portal after executing the FM. Should it be XSTRING or something else?
2. How do we open the pdf in portal.
There are certain posts from Detlev and Prakash Singh which speaks on this. But I could not figure it out. Can somebody please give a sample CODE for opening the pdf?
Note: I'm using PAR component for the display.
There is a mention of some weblog of Prakash :
Create an excel file from JAVA using HSSF api
But I'm unable to locate this weblog. Can anybody please help me out as I'm stuck.

Forgot to mention that I dont want to use iText api's.
Thanks

How can i use a component twice in the same movie clip

Excuse me am a beginner in this as2
below is the script used:
PeelIt is a component.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////1st frame contains the below:
PeelIt._visible = false;
PeelIt.init();
PeelIt.Peel();
///////////////////////////////////////////////// then on 2 different buttons:
on (release){
    this._parent.PeelIt._visible = true;
    this._parent.PeelIt.Stick();
and
on (release){
    this._parent.PeelIt.Peel();
1st problem: i need this component to work when the swf loads instead of (on release),
2nd problem: i need to introduce several frames with different movieclips using the component, how can i do so.
thank you

use:
PeelIt.init();
PeelIt.Peel();PeelIt._visible = true;
PeelIt.Stick();
PeelIt.Peel();
and just add the component to each movieclip.
