Declaring Callback Functions in CSXS Extension (for Flash)

A few features offered in Flash's scripting language are handful of event listeners you can attach to Flash that will in tern call any associated JSFL function you've attached to them while Flash is running. You can then listen for events like "documentNew", "documentChange", "mouseMove", etc.
JSFL Code Would Look Something Like this:
fl.addEventListener("documentOpened", myDocumentOpenedHandler);
function myDocumentOpenedHandler()
     swfObject.call("callBackFunction_InsideFlashPanel");
My swfPanel registers a callback function, "callBackFunction_InsideFlashPanel" which would handle the event inside the panel.
This is a way of ensuring my Panel is notified when a change takes place in Flash.
Adobe has an article about it here:
       http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flash/10.0_ExtendingFlash/WS4B030CF7-0681-47e3-9E2C-9A6D799980 AA.html
My question is, how should this be implemented in a CS Extension using the CS SDK?
Thanks,
Clint G.

Right. The whole point of the question is if is possible to
dynamically declare functions for use as callbacks.
For example, in the standard loading functions, you register
a callback like this:
var load:Loader = new Loader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swf);
load.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
swfloadcallback);
load.load(req);
function swfloadcallback(e:Event):void
The problem with the standard callback function is that I
can't add additional arguments to it. For example, I couldn't have
swfloadcallback take in an additional argument (for example the
index of the swf I'm trying to load). What I'm wondering is if in
actionscript 3 it's possible to dynamically declare callbacks such
that I only have to write the code once, but in essence I am adding
additional parameters to the callback.
Hence the example I listed above. What I was trying to
accomplish there was basically dynamically creating callbacks that
understood which index to insert the loaded image into. But clearly
that example doesn't work.

  • I am having trouble downloading an extension for flash, despite having the most up to date flash version for Adobe Manager Extension CC. What would cause this to happen?

    I am having trouble downloading an extension for flash, despite having the most up to date flash version for Adobe Manager Extension CC. What would cause this to happen? It says I need to have flash 7 or higher. I have the most update flash available according to my browsers.

    If you are using Flash Pro CC 2014, please update Extension Manager CC to 7.2.1. Then please confirm whether Flash is shown in the product panel of Extension Manager CC. If not, please refer to Re: Why can't I see InDesign CC in my Extension Manager CC.

  • Extensions for Flash Pro in CC?

    I tried to open the Exchange using Window > Extensions and the only thing I see is "No Extensions Installed".  Next I tried the link on the welcome screen and just got a web page that said click here for CC users only to find that Flash doesn't get Exchange built in.  OK - how do we get extensions in Flash CC?

    Thanks, that explains a lot.
    I'm afraid I'm a bit confused about what the preferred way of developing extensions is going ahead. There seems to be a lot of conflicting documentation on the adobe site, e.g. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite.html  seems like the top page for extension documentation but it only talks about CS SDK 2.0 which uses CSXS and doesn't seem to be compatible with creative cloud apps.
    Then there's CS Extension Builder 2.1 which looks like it supports Flash Pro CC but isn't mentioned in the pages you linked too and it doesn't mention JSFL, but talks about the CSAW library.
    Do you know if:
    * The CS SDK has been dropped completely? 
    * CS Extenstion Builder is deprecated? (I can't see it as an option in the list of Creative Cloud apps)
    * Is then any documentation/utilities to help migrate existing CSXS extensions to work with creative cloud apps?
    Thanks,

  • Where might I find a good tutorial on creating an HTML-5 based extension for Flash Pro CC?

    I have extension builder 3 installed in eclipse and it appears to be working like normal. I'm able to create a new extension builder project. I need help taking the next steps.
    Previously in extension builder 2.1 and Flash Builder 4.6 it auto-created the .mxml and .as files for me so all I had to do was insert a bit of jsfl into the as script section and save and could see it show up as a panel in my Flash Pro panels menu. With EB3 I can't really tell what it's doing and am unsure on how to continue, are there any boiler plate files available I can plug in? I want to start simple and add a button, a bit of jsfl, and progress but can't seem to get past installing eb3. Any help or tutorials available? Thanks

    Barnes & Noble is an excellent source of knowledge; I often end up there with a notebook and a pen myself. It is true though, sometimes trying to find information about programming can be an obscured journey; there are often times when something so simple, if explained better would have saved hours of trial and error. I don't think there's a person on this forum that hasn't experienced this exact scenario, and probably more than once.
    As unfortunate as it is, this is the way it is, programmers don't always make the best writers. Assumptions are made and people don't always have the time to write out all the specific details of a how-to, but in a way you have to learn to read through that. If you're interested in really learning how to program in any language, I can't think of a better way to learn it. When you read a snippet of code and it doesn't work, the only thing you can do is figure out why it doesn't work or to abandon the code and move on. As harsh as this is, it can really help improve your knowledge; it forces you to really understand the tool(s) you're using and once you understand it, you start to progress much faster.
    I know you were probably were wanting more of a straight-forward answer, but I think it's important to know that we all have and still go through the same sort of frustrations.My suggestion is to find a site, book, a user group, or a class that teaches you what you need to know, and in a way that makes sense to you. Here are some resources you might want to check out. Good luck.

  • Looking for tutorial or developer to for hotkey extension for Flash Pro.

    I'm using Flash Pro CS6 on a Windows 8 touch/pen tablet. In put tablet mode, some of the common commands, especially undo, are difficult to reach without hotkeys or keyboard shortcuts.
    What I need is an on-screen panel with big easy-to-hit "Undo" and "Redo" buttons that I can use as hotkeys on the touchscreen, much like the hotkeys on a Wacom Intuos or Cintiq. I have a little programming knowledge, but don't know where to start in creating an extension panel like this.
    Can anyone suggest a good sarting tutorial for this type of add-on, or would anyone be willing to bash out such an extension?
    Thank you for your time.

    Hi Arafat,
    Thank you for the suggestion but I had already looked at that.
    I am looking for a working example or step-by-step tutorial that updates a table in SAP, using ABAP webdynpro. The PO example provided with Designer does not connect with SAP; also, the tutorial steps provided in the Designer Help do not even match the way the example form is constructed! (Help says use table object, the example pdf uses a repeating subform).
    My problem seems to be in the binding between the form and SAP.  I have tried various changes and nothing I try is transferring any data except the first row of the table.
    I hope someone has a SAP example for this situation.

  • Callback functions to handle events for a specific system build block

    I have two questions about customized event handling in Systembuild:
    1- The SystemBuild Utility "sysbldEvent" can bo used to specify additional actions for the "openblock" and "navigate" events. However, it will be applied to all systembuild blocks.
    Is there a way to limit its scope to a specific block or block type?
    This has been done for the Altia block (which is a customized UCB block) - a double-click will open a special dialog box. Is this feature implemented using publicly available systembuild features or there are other special features used?
    2- Is there any way to assign callbacks to other type of block events: copy, paste, etc ...
    Thanks.

    Farshid,
    There are a couple of options for creating custom dialogs/blocks.
    SysbldEvent can be used. As you noted it will generate and event for all the blocks. You can not generate an event only for a specific block. However the Xmath function has two values sent to it. One is the type of event (blockopen or navigate) and the blockId. You can use blockId together with SBA commands to find out which block generated the event. If it is a block that you are not interested in then return 0 and SystemBuild opens the normal dialog. If it is the right block then you can open your own dialog or perform what ever action is needed. Finally return a 0 if you want SystemBuild to still open the normal dialog, or you can return 1 and no dialog is opened.
    The Altia
    block is a custom block. It is a standard UserCode block that has been customized to have differnt default parameters and different icon. In the SystemBuild editor (not catalog browser) select a block and the go to Edit>New Custom Block. The custom block can a have a MathScript function associated with it that gets called when the block is created. For more information on custom blocks see chapter 18 of the SystemBuild Users Guide (Help>Search MATRIXx Bookshelf from Xmath).
    The final method is creating a component. For a component percent vars can remain internal or they can be available to the user. You can also provide a different set of parameters that are available to the user, and then provide equations for how they map to the internal percent vars. Information on Components is in Chapter 17 of the SystemBuild User's Guide.

  • Flash CS5 extensions for android unavailable from adobe?? anyone know solution

    Hello, I'm totally new to developing apps for android and am just getting started in flash CS5. According to most tutorials that I can find on the web I need to install an extension from adobe.
    see this tutorial
    Creative Sweet TV - Publish to Android 2.2 from Adobe Flash CS5 | Adobe TV
    However, when I go to adobe's site they say that the extension isn't available anymore and will be integrated with their new version of Flash!!!!
    Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Extension for Adobe AIR 2.5 - Adobe Labs
    I just bought a new Mac to run CS5 and can't believe that now it looks like I'll have to upgrade my software, at more expense, in order to do something that was possible only a short time ago!!
    Does anyone have any information on this problem?

    Hi All,
    Why don't Adobe leave the extension up there until they roll out the new version of FP?
    To Adobe,
    That's no good!
    Adobe (and your awesome staff), on a whole I think you do a great job and obviously most of us love your tools.
    I don't post on these forums much, but I've been a member since 2002 (and certianly read a lot of posts).
    The software hasn't been out in Oz for 12 months yet, so how do you expect people to start leveraging the new features and expand if you make it cost prohibitive and have to upgrade to the next full version (well before it's release), by subsequently taking down the value added components that the customer base obviously want / need / and appreciate.  (my assumption is that when you say 'release' you are talking about full release and not simply an online update).
    In helenthegreat_2011  case you have obviously alienated a recent customer that was after functionality you advertise, by promoting the diversity and flexibility of you tools, and reading recent posts it doesn't seem isolated.
    I expect new developers would have at least 6 months lead time before a new version rolls out (the common 18 months version gap) and that's potentially 6 months of existing Adobe customers developing with that platform in mind, (and cementing a stronger client base using your tools to develop for Android).
    So essentially the devs that have the extension currently are the only ones that are able to use FP to develop Android apps, and Adobe have locked the rest of the customer base out, mandating that they will need to purchase the next version of FP to be able to do this.  .
    Can Adobe please clarify what your customers are supposed to do in the mean time / or do you have an alternative for us?
    What was the reason it was taken down?  Was it unstable, or was it up to simply test, gauged interest, and try to profit maximise by pushing the functionality to a new release.
    To quote your page "The extension for Flash Pro CS5 to deploy applications to the Android platform will no longer be available. This feature is being rolled into the next release for Adobe Flash Professional. Please check http://www.adobe.com for latest news and information about the availability of the next version of our Creative Suite products."
    And that's all it says (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashpro_extensionforair/) Could we please either have the extension back, or at least a bit more of an explanation other than "Pay out a few more thousand dollars and you can have the functionality - but you'll have to wait until we release it first."
    Here's the rub...
    Personally, 4 months ago I spent just under $4,000 (AU$) to purchase CS5 Master Collection.
    I wont be waiting until Adobe release FP CS6 to be able to develop for Android devices, I'll be investing the time to find alternate development environments (such as Unity3D http://unity3d.com/unity/publishing/android) and ditching the plans of using Fash for Android dev.
    If you're going to arbitrarily take down the tools that extend the functionality of your product, then at least spend the time taking down all the Adobe articles, tutorials, videos, etc on your site that promote it as an availble functionality.
    Unless we're missing something or there is an aloternative, on the face of it, I think it's poor form Adobe.
    Regards
    Chris

  • Extension Builder for Flash CS6 is not working

    Hi I'm trying to make an extension for Flash CS6, using Extension Builder 1.5

  • How to test and configure custom extensions in Flash Pro CC?

    Hi,
    How do you install custom CS extensions in Flash Pro CC for testing and debugging before they have been signed and packaged?
    We have a custom extension for Flash Pro developed in-house using the CS SDK that we've been using with flash pro CS5 and CS6 but we're having trouble getting it to work in CC and I'd like to run it locally in test/debug mode.
    With flash pro CS6 and CS5 it was possible to test extensions by copying the output folder from flash builder into the CS Service Manager root folder (e.g. /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS6ServiceManager) and setting PlayerDebugMode to 1 in the CSXS preferences.
    I've added the PlayerDebugMode=1 flag to com.adobe.CSXS.4.plist however, I can't find the equivalent service manager folder for Flash Pro CC to copy the extension into.
    Is there a different folder to use for CC or is the process for testing extensions completely different? (are extensions written in the CS SDK even compatible with CC?)
    I'm running Mac OS Lion.
    Thanks,
    Stephen

  • Register a Callback function in LabVIEW

    Is there any way to register a callback function in LabVIEW. For example:
    I have a DLL on Win2k that run a thread. This thread is doing a certain task (it is not important what it does...) I can't predict when this task will end and I need to know when the task is over. The easy way would be to poll this DLL and ask: "Is it over? Is it over?" over and over again. No! I don't want to poll. Not because it's too easy. I want this DLL to wake me up on time.
    Any idea, solutions, function that I'm not aware of, new features...
    Thanks
    Nitrof

    I think I have a much better solution for you. Here is an example program that show how to set a LabVIEW occurence in a dll. Therefore when your dll is done it can set the LabVIEW occurence, meanwhile your VI is just waiting on the occurence.
    More infomration on this is in the external code in LabVIEW manual Using External Code in LabVIEW
    NOTE:This will ONLY work in LabVIEW 7.
