Control Flex application using presentation clicker

I am building an application using Flex and need the ability
to navigate through a "table of Contents" list using a presentation
clicker, similar to navigating through a powerpoint presentation. I
have been searching through the forum most of the day and haven't
come across any information.
Any help would be greately appreciated.
Thanks!

  • Close a flex application using AS3

    Hi everyone,
    I am building a flex application using AS3, and I would like
    to allow the user to close the application through a CLOSE button.
    Do you know how can I do that ??
    I traied with fscommand("quit"); but it dosen't work.

    The rules are that UIComponent cannot be used in the download progress bar.  You'll need to use really low level objects.

  • Login flex application using HTML page

    Is it possible in flex
    For example you click on a button in HTML and it redirect to flex application

    Flex applications sit in a HTML page. Just make your button link redirect to that page. It's no differrent to changing a HTML page because that's all you are doing.

    OK, I checked my build script and remember having this problem. I'm deploying a war file that contains some java EE and flex code. So my solutions does not apply to your case, but check out this blog post.

  • How to stop the Flex application when user clicks on Cancel button from JS-confirm message?

    Hi All,
    I use the next code when a user clicks on a link:
    private function clickHandler():void
          ExternalInterface.call('confirm', 'Of course you want to go to the Adobe forums!');
          navigateToURL(new URLRequest('http://forums.adobe.com'), '_self');
    This will show up the javascript confimation box. But when the cancel-button is clicked, the user goes straightly to http://forums.adobe.com...
    How to stop Flex performing the next code when a user clicks on the Cancel button?
    Or, how to catch which button is clicked by a user in Flex?
    Thanks!

    I agree with Mr. Hall that using mx.controls.Alert in Flex may be a better route.
    Show the Alert like this:
    // show an alert with a question and yes and no choices
    Alert.show( "Would you like to go to the Adobe Forums?", "Question",
         Alert.YES | Alert.NO, this, closeHandler, null, Alert.YES );
    Then handle the response in the closeHandler() function:
    protected function closeHandler( closeEvent:CloseEvent ):void
    if( event.detail == Alert.YES )
         navigateToURL( new URLRequest('http://forums.adobe.com'), '_self' );
    else if( event.detail == Alert.NO )
         // they chose no
    The following documentation on Alerts may be helpful:

    Let me know if that helps...

  • How  can I start my Java Application using double-click  in Windows XP?

    I hava developed an editor in java. The file made by this editor is saved as the .cte format. so, I need to associate this file with the editor, which means that when you double click the .cte file ,this file will be opened in the editor just like the notepad.
    I know that Jbuider has used the JNI to achieve this way to open a project. So, will you kindly tell me the details about this technique or give me some document? My E_Mail is [email protected]
    Best Regards,
    Maria

    I think this can be done from a batch file which you can execute when you install your application.
    There are two commands which you are interested in, and they are:
    assoc - Displays or modifies file extension associations.
    ftype - Displays or modifies file types used in file extension associations.
    You should use assoc to associate an extension with a file type, and ftype to associate the file type with an application.
    E.g. jar is associated with this on my machine:
    .jar=jarfile (from assoc)
    jarfile="C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "%1" %* (from ftype)

    Must you use native code? Can't you do what I said in your other thread?

  • Trying to make a flex application scalable in its display size by using a "Host-swf" - Problem

    We created a flex application using Flex 3. What we are
    trying to do is to make this application scalable in its display
    size. That means we want the application to scale itself to exactly
    fit the size of the browser window without using a scrollbar like
    normal Flash-swfs do. Sadly flex application don't scale like a
    normal flash swf.
    To get a workaround for this we created a so called
    "Host-swf" with flash CS3. This Host-swf loads the flex application
    and adds it as a child. And voila: When calling the Host-swf our
    application can scale.
    We used this code to achive this:
    var oUrlRequest:URLRequest = new
    URLRequest("Flex-Application.swf");
    var oURLLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    oURLLoader.load(oUrlRequest);
    addChild(oURLLoader);
    This works perfectly as long the browser window is larger
    then the resolution of the host-swf (900*600) when calling the url
    for the application:
    Picture showing the
    scaling
    But it doesnt't work out when the browser window is smaller
    than 900*600. The application is then shown with a scrollbar, and
    when resizing the browser window the scrollbar is still there:
    Picture showing the
    application with scrollbar
    Maybe anyone already tried to achive the same thing and has a
    different solution for us?
    Thank you in advance!

    When I set the Application width and height to a percentage

    change its size based on the size of the window.

  • Calling a FLEX application from html, using parameters

    Hi guys,
    I have this html:
    <form name="getTracing" method="POST" action="http://syyzas400/ShipmentInquiry/ShipmentDetails.html">
              QuickTrace 
    <input type="text" name="TrackNbr" size="14" tabindex="1" maxlength="11">
    <br>
    Carrier        
    <select name="Carrier" tabindex="2" style="background-color: #D8E4FF; color: black;
                             font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; font-size: 9pt; width=114">
              <option>Option1
              <option>Option2
              <option>Option3
    </select>
    As you can notice, there is an Input field ("TrackNbr") and a selection field ("Carrier") with three options... The user enters a Tracking Nbr.
    in first field  and chooses one of the three options from the second field and hits <enter>. In this moment, as you can see from "action" area, an html (part of a FLEX application) is called. The problem is that the parameters ("TrackNbr" and "Carrier") are not transmitted and I don't know how to do that.
    This FLEX application accepts parameters using URL fragments technique (because could be called from another FLEX application, too)
    but obviously this cannot work with the above described form.
    I read about External Interface class, but everybody is talking about calling ActionScript functions, not FLEX applications. Being a newbie in this area,
    I am sure I am missing something, but what?
    Any help would be very appreciated, as usual...
    Florin

    Problem solved.
    I got rid of the form tag (and "action", obviously); instead, I created a JavaScript function used for onClick event of the submit button. Inside this function, I captured the values (using getElementById method) of the input and select field and, using these values, I created the URL for my FLEX application (used with location.href property), and BAM! Everything works like a charm... I am even able to use the Back button to exit the FLEX app and return to the selection screen.
    Now my question is, why does it work??? No complaints at all, just curiosity... I didn't use External Interface class, no exposed ActionScript functions prior calling frm JavaScript, no fancy stuff all sites I saw talking about...
    Grizz..., I have a feeling that what you described above is a simpler and more advanced way to do about the same thing I did; am I right?
    Thanks,
    Florin

  • Regarding Flex application in Adobe Air

    I> I developed a flex application using FLEX BUILDER3. My
    main.mxml and background image file was under src directory in flex
    project. There was a folder named history under which
    index.template.html was present. I inserted the javascript code
    inside this html file. I want to convert the same flex application
    to a desktop application. So I created a new project as a desktop
    app and copied the mxml file and background image file under the
    src directoy of the project. I am not able to see a folder named
    history. I dont know where and how to insert the javascript and
    html code for creating desktop air application
    > Also the backgroundimage file is not getting display in
    the window. Not sure why is it so. I had inserted the JPEG

    The ability to package Composite Applications in AIR is currently available
    as a limited release, so if you are interested you will need to contact your
    sales channel for more information.
    The technology includes a library (mosaic-mxml.swc) that contains UI
    Components that allow developers to control the loading and placement of
    Tiles or entire AXML Applications within the AIR application. There are
    samples and documentation available.
    As for mobile, there is work underway to support Mobile AIR applications
    scheduled for an upcoming release.

  • Adobe Air+ Flex applications to build from database

    Hi,
    I know how to create a Flex application from database.But
    when we are developing a flex application from database using Adobe
    AIR,i'm not able to run the application.It is throwing an error
    saying .xml file is missing.Can anyone help me out with
    this?

    In Flex, an application can be created from database by
    following the steps as follows:
    STEP 1. Create a new Flex Project and name it as for example,
    “FLEXDB”. Select the
    application type as “Web Application (runs in Flash
    Player)” and Application server type as
    “ASP.Net”.
    STEP 2. Go to Data->Create application from database.
    Select the project as
    FLEXDB”.Create a new Connection to SqlServer 2005 and
    specify the database and name that connection
    as”TestConn”. Then select any table (for example
    DashboardRegion) from the list of tables and click
    “Next” button.
    STEP 3. Select the Server language as “C# with Web
    Services”. Click “Finish”.
    STEP 4. Then the following files and folders will be created
    under the project “FLEXDB”
    automatically.
    • DashboardRegion.mxml -- is a design page.
    • DashboardRegionScript.as -- defines web service
    object and capture the results and assigns the results to the
    corresponding UI Component.
    • DashboardRegionConfig.as -- calls the Web Service
    file.
    • DashboardRegion.asmx -- calls the Class Files
    (DashboardRegion.cs file).
    • Web.config – defines the Connection string
    • App_Code is a folder which contains the following
    files
    o DashboardRegion.cs that interacts with SQL Server 2005 and
    return the results.
    o TestConn.cs that defines connection to SQL Server 2005.
    STEP 5. Run the application “DashboardRegion.mxml
    ”.We can see the Database results
    Fetched and displayed in the corresponding UI Component in
    the output.
    Now we are trying to create a Similar Flex Application using
    Adobe AIR.
    For this, we have to follow similar steps mentioned as above
    with a slight modification in STEP 1. It will be as follows:
    STEP 1. Create a new Flex Project and name it as for
    example, “FLEXDB”. Select the
    application type as”Desktop Application (runs in Adobe
    AIR)” and Application server type as “ASP.Net”.
    The remaining steps are same as above.
    When we try to run the application
    “DashboardRegion.mxml”, it is throwing an error saying
    “DashboardRegion-app.xml” file is missing. To solve
    this issue we tried creating “DashboardRegion-app.xml”
    file manually, the application is running but, again throwing an
    error saying “Unable to load WSDL. If currently online,
    please verify the URI and/or format of the WSDL
    (../DashBoardRegion.asmx?wsdl)”.
    Can any one please suggest a solution for this?
    Or Help me how to connect sql server 2005 in the Adobe AIR
    application that are buid using Flex builder.

  • Display & run a Flex Application in NW7

    Hi @ all,
    i´ve developed a FlexApplication to read the Bex Analyser favourites to a Flextree an now im trying to display this application in our NW7 portal. The application is connected to SAP throu a BSP-application.
    With clicking one node of the tree i want to open an sapWorkbook with, for example tcode RRMXP and a WBID = xyz.
    How to manage this problem?
    In flex i have the workbookID and the transactionCode, but how to send them to SAPSystem and after that opening a workbook with excel?

    Hi Daniel,
    You can Export content from flex application using JSP file on your N/W server also.
    The Flow for this would be, collect the required content in HTML Table format string.
    then pass this string as parameter to a JSP page which will open an excel sheet and copy your content to it.
    You can also apply table formatting using usual html tags.
    Plz find some code snippets for your reference :
    Suppose on on click of node you have called for an method which is written in your ActionScript part of Flex Application.
    viz. loadContentInExcel(para1,para2)
    Definition for this method would be like :
    private function loadContentInExcel(para1:String, para2:String):void {
                   //Pass the htmltable in a variable so that it can be delivered
                   //to the backend script
                   var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
                   variables.htmltable     = convertContentToHTMLTable(para1,para2);
                   //Setup a new request and make sure that we are
                   //sending the data through a post
                   var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://XXX.XX.X.XXX:YYYYY/Test_Excel/main.jsp");
                   /* In Above Line Replace XXX.XX.X.XXX:YYYYY with <Host IP>:<Port>  */
                   u.data = variables; //Pass the variables
                   u.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; //Don't forget that we need to send as POST
                   //Navigate to the script
                navigateToURL(u);
    private function convertContentToHTMLTable(para1:String, para2:String):String {
                 //Set default values
                 var font:String = 'ARIAL';
                 var size:String = '10';
                 var str:String = '';
                 var style:String = 'style="font-family:'+font+';font-size:'+size+'pt;"';                    
                 str = "<table border=1><tbody>";
                 str+="<tr width=\""+100+"\">";
                 str += "<td width=\""+100+"\" "+style+">"+"<B>"+"TransactionCode : "+"</B>"+"</td>";
                 str += "<td width=\""+100+"\" "+style+">"+para1+"</td>";
                 str += "</tr>";
                 str+="<tr width=\""+100+"\">";
                 str += "<td width=\""+100+"\" "+style+">"+"<B>"+"WorkbookID : "+"</B>"+"</td>";
                 str += "<td width=\""+100+"\" "+style+">"+para2+"</td>";
                 str += "</tr>";
                 str+="</tbody></table>";
                 return str;
    In main.jsp page mention content type as application/vnd.ms-excel.
    In body tag mention out.println(request.getParameter("htmltable").
    Hope this will help you..

  • Error # 1014 verifyError - flex application in Livcycle Workspace

    Hi All
    I have created a flex application using Flex SDK 3.4.1 to be incorporated in Adobe LiveCycle ES 2. My flex application is working fine, but when I lunch the flex application inside the Adobe LiveCycle Workspace, I got Error # 1014 VerifyError and the cause of this error is  the use of flashx.textLayout.elements.TextFlow libaray.
    Any help is really appriciated.
    Best regards
    Khaled

    That explains it then. This example requires the ContentElement, which is only present in FlashPlayer 10 and later. The example should require that -- when the project is set up, it can specify the minimum Player version it requires. Then if you try to run it on an earlier Player you get a warning that the SWF can't load on this Player, and it tells the user what version number is required. Try installing FP10, and it should work.

  • How to deploy a Flex application (Server Type ColdFusion) to production

    I have built a flex application using Flash Builder 4.6.  It utilizes ColdFusion Flash Remoting for its data services.  When first setting up the data services I had to set a bunch of properties in the flex server section.  Which I am not sure are all correct but the app does run and connect to the data services.  They were:
    Application Server type: ColdFusion
    Use remote object access service
         ColdFusion flash remoting
    Server Location:
         Deployed to Java application server
         Web Root: v:\inetpub\testFlex
         Root URL: http://myDevServerIP/
         ColdFusion Was folder: v:\CF9\JRun4\servers\testFlex\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war
    My question is now when I'm ready to deploy to my production machine and load the app onto a tablet or other computer, obviously the Root URL will be different something like http://myLiveURL.com.  Is this the only thing I change?  Do I even change it here or is there some other location?  Any other things I need to change?
    Thanks!
    Your help is much appreciated!

    All the paths to CFCs are the same in my live production site.  Can you be more specific as to what you mean by "RemoteClass aliases in your AS Classes and CFCs (if any) are correct."?  How will the app know that the CFC is on http://myLiveSite.com instead of http://myDevSite.com?  The only line of code that I have noticed that points to a URL is the endpoint in a file called _Super_XXX.as.  And at the top of that file it says that the file is not meant for editting.
    To clarify...I see your app/code all exists on a server access via a web browser so I can understand that everything still works when deployed.  Mine is a mobile app so when I am developing and testing on my local computer the URL points to my local development machine.  However when I deploy it to a mobile device like a tablet and run the app, it needs to be able to access a cfc on a remote server via a different URL ie. my http://myLiveSite.com/myCFC.cfc instead of http://localhost/myCFC.cfc
    Thanks for your help!  I will now take a look at your thread.
