Convert displayed datetime in Flex app to database's

I currently use Flex web services to request data from an sql
server database (via a .net app) and bind the result set .net
datatable to a flex datagrid. The datagrid has a datetime column
that displays the local time at which the client created the record
instead of the sql server datetime value. How can I change my
datagrid records to show the database's datetime? Here's an
articles related to this issue... but wasn't able to get it to work
in my context:
http://blog.shrefler.net/?p=13.
Any help would be appreciated!

Why not just send the request to create the record to the
server _before_
you do anything with it in Flex, then bring it back and
display it in Flex?

How to display ads in Flex APP

Hi All,
How i can place a ads in the flex application.
Any work around.
Please send the sample link or tutorials
Thanks & Regards,
chaitanya

An ad would be an image or Flash movie, both of which can be displayed quite easily and given hyperlink behavior. It all depends on what kind of logic you need to support rotation. You will want to keep the ad content resources external of the swf. Maybe have an XML properties file to load in specifying resources, their links, and whatever else you need.

How to display bitmap in Flex App

Hi,
I want to alter pixel data in an image and then display the
altered version alongside original image. I am manipulating the
bitmapData from the original image and then creating a new Bitmap
from the altered bitmapData.
How can I add the new Bitmap to the display list? I am
getting a "not UIComponent" error message when I try to add it.
Casting it as a UIComponent also fails.
Or am I taking the wrong approach?
TIA

Hi,
Please try as show in the code below.
Hope this helps.

An AS component doesn't appear in a flex app

The following AS draws a line and works in its own right,
package components {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Shape;
public class DrawTest1 extends Sprite {
public function DrawTest1() {
var shape:Shape = new Shape();
shape.graphics.lineStyle(0,0x0000FF, 1);
shape.graphics.lineTo(100,100);
addChild(shape);
It was then included in a flex app as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:custom="components.*"
layout="horizontal">
<custom:DrawTest1 />
</mx:Application>
but only a blank screen (i.e. without the line) was displayed
when the flex app was executed (no error message was given during
compilation). Please help.

Flex containers (incluing Application) can contain only
components which are derived from UIComponent or implement
IUIComponent interface.
To get your component to display in the application create a
UIComponent as child and add the DrawTest1 component as a child to
it.
<mx:UIComponent id="p1"
creationComplete="p1.addChild(t1)"/>
<custom:DrawTest1 id="t1"/>

Flex can create an AIR application.
But a swf file can't read from the local drive.

Displaying Ads on a Flex App ?

Hi,
I have a flex based application that resides on 100% of the browser page.Now i want to display some Ads on the flex based App. Google Adsense is not supported i think.I read some blogs using an iframe we can display some Ads.I don't want to do that, it might slow the app.Is there a better way.
There are some Ads that i see made in flash, we should be able to display them directly right.Can you suggest some ad networks that provide such ads.
Thanks
Rajat

I would suggest a proxy located on the server. It would connect to adSense, then communicate with your FLEX app. BLAZE could be used for both the proxy and the "PUSH" to you app to display the text in the ads. We are building this for ourselves right now, if you'd like to know more you can contact me at curtis dot fisher at procontent dot net.
cheers,
Curtis

Flex app doesn't work when moved from original location

I'm trying to make an image gallery in flex. It works when I run it in Flex Builder perfectly fine. The html and swf files from the bin-debug folder work perfectly fine when opened in any browser also, but ONLY when those files and all related files are opened from the default location that the application was built in. When I export a build to a different folder, the swf loads but none of the information from the xml file displays. I tried setting all of the paths of the reference files (namely the xml) in the flex app to the exact absolute location on the server, and it still didn't work when I uploaded it to the server.
I've tried several approaches starting from scratch and they have all come up with the same issue. I'm working with an educational license for Flex Builder, I'm not sure if they jip you on those and ruin the compiled swf.
Please help! I'm losing my mind over this.I think it has to do with something else besides the code since it works fine when I hit "Run", but if anyone thinks it will help to post the code let me know.

when you build an application using one of the wizards (like coldfusion flex application wizard) it hard codes
paths to cold fusion CFC's, and sometimes gets it wrong.
If your application references cfc's (or other remote objects) then it may be necessary to adjust the flex code
when moving the code into a different base folder.
For example in my own application, the url is http://localhost/crm_dev_flex and the built application gets put into
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\crm_dev_flex\bin-debug
References in the code to components found in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\crm_dev_flex\bin-debug\components\cfgenerated
(in the flex code these looks like crm_dev_flex.bin-debug.components.cfgenerated.<mycomponent> )
These need to change when you move the code to somewhere else.
Also, if you are using wizard generated cfc's then these also contain similar references that need to be changed.
IHTH.
Cheers

Deployment of Flex app to web and app server

Hi
I'm working on putting a Flex front-end on an existing J2EE
app which gets deployed as an ear file. The architecture consists
of web server, app server and database server. Is the following
approach to deployment possible / recommended?
My Flex app will be deployed to the web server. The J2EE ear
file will be deployed to the app server (Weblogic). BlazeDS will be
bundled within the ear file as a war file. Remote Objects will be
configured in my BlazeDS configuration files to enable me to access
the code in my J2EE app. In the compiler options of my Flex app,
I'll be setting the server root folder and server root URL to point
to the BlazeDS war file on my app server.
At present I'm at the stage where I can run my Flex app
directly from Flex builder on my development PC and it's able to
connect tto the J2EE app, which is running on the app server
(Weblogic) also on my development PC. I can't find documentation
explaining how to extend this to work on a multi-tier architecture.
Thanks
David

Loading purchased swf into Flash Builder 4 Flex app

I have purchased a Flash "fundraising thermometer" from an online Flash components site. It takes input from an xml file and displays a thermometer with the goal at the top and the current amount raised indicated. It came with the following files:
thermometer.swf
thermometer01.fla
thermometer01.html (A sample that works.)
xml/thermometer.xml (The source file: goal amount, current amount, mark interval, etc.)
caurina/transitions (Mostly .as files.)
Since the test html (thermometer01.html) works fine, I thought this would be a no-brainer.
I first unzipped the files into a "thermometer" folder in my current project. I then went into Flash Builder and created a SWFLoader object as follows:
<mx:SWFLoader
id="myLoader" source="../thermometer/thermometer.swf" complete="initThermometer();" autoLoad="true" scaleContent="false"/>\
private function initThermometer():void {
     Alert.show('Thermometer loaded');
The Design view looks fine. I can see the thermometer default image (see below).
When I run the app, I get no errors, just a broken image link in a box (see below). The alert box also never shows up.
I'm new to Flex, so I may be doing something stupid that keeps this from working. I contacted the author of the thermometer widget but he doesn't know anything about Flex.
Any help figuring out how to get this to work in a flex app would be appreciated.

You should probably add more event handlers to see what's going on. Especially "ioError". The complete list is below. For coverage, add a handler for each event. You can also use in MXML
     complete="initThermometer(event)
and add an argument to your Actionscript method, to find out details about the event.
private function initThermometer(event:Event):void {
     Alert.show('Thermometer loaded ' + event.type);}
Events
    complete="No default"
    httpStatus="No default"
    init="No default"
    ioError="No default"
    open="No default"
    progress="No default"
    securityError="No default"
    unload="No default
General info here:

I did not test my code suggestions, but it's probably close.

How to display datetime like below

How to display datetime like below
13-oct-2014 10:11:00
2014-10-13 10:11:00
(I always must display seconds as 00)
format is
dd-mmm-yyyy hh:mm:00
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:00

if I use
SELECT FORMAT(getdate(),'dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm:00')
I'm getting the following error
'FORMAT' is not a recognized built-in function name.
Thats because your version is below 2012
then use the other suggestion which is
SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar(12),datefield,106),' ','-') + ' ' + CONVERT(varchar(5),datefield,108) + ':00'
FROM Table

Why would I need to use LiveCycle Data Services in a Flex app?

I cannot figure out what additional functionality is provided by using LiveCycle Data Services in my Flex apps. I cannot get a clear understanding of how using LiveCycle Data Services would benefit my applications. Does someone out there use LiveCycle Data Services? If so, what do you do with it in Flex?
Thanks!

- data push for publish/subscribe implementations
User has to do nothing to get updated information. You push it to their machine when new data is available, like Yahoo finance updated quotes.
- data paging
You don't want to display one million rows in your datagrid at once. Get a batch of data, if the user scrolls down, get the next batch, etc.
- server side clustering
One server does not get overloaded. High traffic sites have their large number of concurrent connections managed more efficiently.
- JMS services
JMS is a powerful technology for messaging throughout an application, and LCDS makes it much easier.
- RTMP tunneling
Allows the use of the RTMP protocol in LiveCycle Data Services applications. Makes it easier to traverse firewalls and proxies appropriately that currently prevent direct RTMP client connections to the server.

How to have HTML tags in Flex app wrapper.

If I put this just below the <body> tag in my Flex app
HTML wrapper, it displays:
<h2>Greg Lafrance</h2>
But if I put that tag just above the ending </body>, it
does not show up.
I'm sure it is something simple, but can someone please
enlighten me?

Hi,
overflow property will tell the browser to hide the content
if it is overflowing the available space. Please find more details
at the URL below.
http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_pos_overflow.asp
IE is ignoring this style property and so we have scroll
property for the BODY tag also. As Tracy mentioned, these are set
to make sure Flex application occupies the browser.
Hope this helps.

Flex app can't connect to the internet / server when uploaded?

I made a simple app that submits a data via POST using the HTTPService. My problem is, when I Run the application from the Flash Builder IDE, and it opens in the browser as a local file, it interacts with my server (remote server) without any problem and does its job well. However, when I upload it to my website, it fails to interact. It displays on the status bar of Firefox that it's connecting to the server that requires interaction but after some time the status reverts to "Done" with my Flex app not showing any Alert boxes if it either succeeded or failed.
It's really making me frustrated not knowing what's wrong..
Also if it would be an added help, I decided to use the Flex 3.5 SDK to make it more compatible with commonly installed Flash Players on people's computers since the features that I used doesn't really need those of 4.0.

Contact the app developer and ask... That's an XML error on the host.

Signed flex apps

Hello,
I am new to Flex and am looking at developing some neat web
based instrumentation apps.
My apps will need to access serial ports, local files and be
able to connect to servers other than the one from which the app
originated. I am looking into doing all this from a flex app
launched from the internet (not Adobe AIR).
Is it possible to accomplish this in some way, such as
digital signatures, configuration files etc???
I have previously developed such apps using signed java
applets, and am wondering is something similar exists for flex.
your feedback will be much appreciated
LK

While a web-app can't access local resources, a web app can
communicate with an AIR application, which might act a a proxy for
local interaction.
As an example, Parleys
http://www.parleys.com/display/PARLEYS/Parleys.com+V2+BETA+Program
stadnalone version
http://www.parleys.com/download/attachments/3440646/Pandora.air
communicates with the browser based version

HTTP request logger/simulator for flex app

I have a server that provides input xml data to a flex app in a browser be displayed on the screen for editing over http. Can someone suggest a way to cache and simulate this server's response? I need the flex app in the browser to work even when the server is down (for testing and UI dev). Any tools or ideas that I may be able to use?
Thx

just point your HTTPService tag to any local xml file having static data snapshot using url attribute
