Displaying server stored images in an air application

Usually when I go about displaying server stored images in a regular flex application I go about it the following way:-
- Create a mysql database table on a server which contains image names
- Create a php file which generates all of the image namesfrom the table as xml and upload this file to the server
- Create a new flex application/project
- In the application make a http service which points to my php/xml file and turns this data into an array collection
- Set the array collection to the dataprovider of a tilelist component so that all of the images will eventually be displayed within it when they are created
- I set the itemrenderer of the tilelist to an image component which has it's source set to something like source="{'assets/images'+ data.imagename}" with imagename being the field containing the name of the image which is stored in the mysql database table.
- Make a folder in the app/project called assets/images which will contain all of the images
- Upload the app to the server and once it runs all the images will be displayed in the application
- Then any images that are uploaded to the server can also be displayed as long as their names are added to the mysql database
My question is though how do you get server stored images to display within an Air Application? My air app will be used on multiple machines but I want the images in it to be dynamic i.e. stored on a server and can be changed. How can this be done?

I'm struggling to figure out how to access the image files when the assets/images folder will be on a server and the app itself will be on the user's desktop whereas usually in the case of a regular flex app this wouldn't mater as both the app and the image files would be on the server together. Is what I'm trying to do possible i.e. displaying images on a desktop air app straight from a server?

Display image in standalone AIR application

I have loaded images and like to display image in standalone AIR application. But I cannot get it work. The code as follows:
private function ImageLoader(url:String):void
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderComplete);
loader.load(request);
private function loaderComplete(event:Event):void
var scaleFactor:Number = 1;
var uic:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
try
var bmp:Bitmap = event.target.content as Bitmap;
var bmd:BitmapData = bmp.bitmapData; //Bitmap(event.target.content).bitmapData;
var scaledBMD:BitmapData = new BitmapData(400, 400);
var matrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.scale(scaleFactor, scaleFactor);
scaledBMD.draw(bmd, matrix, null, null, null, true);
uic.x = 40;
uic.y = 40;
uic.addChild(new Bitmap(scaledBMD));
catch (errObject:Error)
trace(errObject.message);

Found answer by adding mx:Canvas and add
iconCanvas.addChild(uic);
after
uic.addChild(new Bitmap(scaledBMD));
<mx:Canvas id="iconCanvas" width="10" height="10" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" x="0" y="0" clipContent="false"/>
Is anyone create "Canvas" by using new Canvas and get it works? example:
var canv:Canvas = new Canvas(...);

Open PS (CS-CS4) and load image from flex/air application?

Hello,
(Not sure wether to post this in the AIR forum or the FLEX forum?)
I am at a loss on how to get my simple application to work. I have a small desktop air application that simply opens Photoshop and runs an action. I used switchboard and the application ran great on PC and MAC. However it only worked for CS3, and CS4 not CS or CS2?. Plus the size of switchboard was a bit large for my small app. I am willing to live with that though . I am using Air with Flex and wanted to know if perhaps there is a beter approach? All the application does is open photoshop, loads an image, and runs an action. Can I do this for all versions of Photoshop using switchboard? Can I do this without switchboard and just use javascript. The big issue is the Air app needs to open Photoshop, and most of the examples have me open PS first and then execute a script located in the PS directory. This needs to work outside of the PS directory. Any examples are appreciated.
I have looked at the following:
- SwitchBoard : only works for CS3-CS4 (on my tests)
- PatchPanel: same issue, plus seperate SDKs
- ExtendScript: requires script to be run from PS not Air

Of course you may have some unstated reason for doing this in Air, but if not...

How do you set up a deployment server to image a Macbook Air

I have 240 Macbook Airs to deploy. Having problems gettng them to netboot to the deployment server using the USB network adapter.
The server is 10.6.8. Does it need to be updated to Lion to work?

The new MacBook Airs should boot off a Snow Leopard server machine running Netboot for these machines. At least the 85+ machines I've imaged off my SL NetBoot box do, so that's not the issue. Are using Netboot or something else? What image/build of Lion is on the box that you're trying to boot these machines against? I agree with Captfred if you're trying to use some system restore image for the MacBook Airs, I wouldn't bother. I compiled a custom boot image that installs 10.7.2 already out of the box and all of the Airs fired up just fine.

Unable to send file in binary mode to ftp server using AIR application

Hi, Can any one help me. i am trying to send local files to ftp server in binary mode from AIR application using sockets.
I cant use PASV mode for this FTP server because security restrictions. when i am trying to send Binary command i am always getting
error code 500 which is unrecognized command. I googled for solutions but i cant find any one using Binary mode to send data every example is using PASV mode to send
file.
code example:
private function upload():void{
sendCommand("binary ");
private function sendCommand(arg:String):void {
                                        arg +="\n";
                                        s.writeUTFBytes(arg);
                                        s.flush();
in response i am getting unrecognized command.

I'm successfully using an ftp example from http://http://projects.maliboo.pl/FlexFTP/
that I converted to spark and uses a popup progress window.
If you don't need to use sockets I can post a sample project.
I believe I still connect with PASV, but have no problems sending Binary files.
I don't think they're commands that are dependent on each other

Displaying a color image

i am using the CCWIMAQViewer to display a .tiff image on a dialog application. I can display the image, but it is black and white. does anyone know how to display it in color?

use the CCWIMAQVision class to create the image, then set the type to RGB, read the image file, and then attach the image object to the image viewer control.
image=m_CWIMAQVisionObj.CreateCWIMAQImage();
image.SetType(IMAQ_IMAGE_RGB);
m_CWIMAQVision1.ReadFile(image, m_strPath + "\\myimage.tif", COleVariant((long)32), vOptional);

Images stored in Application Data folder are not visible in HTML Page generated by AIR Application

Hi Programmers,
I have an AIR application where in I am capturing the images of persons via web cam and storing them in the Application Data folder of the users machine. I am successfully able to do so.
However, when generating the report in the HTML format from within the AIR application, I use the image captured and give the absolute path. but some how the image doesnt appear in the browser, I get the icon for image not found.
When I right click on the image, select property and copy the image path in new browser, I can see that image. Any thoughts on why this is happening?
Thanks,

I tried changing the directory as following in java class:
File trgDir = new File("/tmp/myTarget/");
File srcDir = new File("/tmp/mySource/");
FileUtils.copyDirectory(srcDir, trgDir);
but unfortunately Adf mobile application does not support "File Utils. copy Directory" library
so is there any way to circumvent this problem.
Any help would be appreciated

Html display order : PDF document in AIR application

Hello.
I read
"The display order of a PDF file operates differently than other display objects in an AIR application. Although PDF content clips correctly according to HTML display order, it will always sit on top of content in the AIR application's display order."
I am concerned with the "PDF content clips correctly according to HTML display order" part. I would like to know what it exactly means. That is I want to be sure that I could put, for example, and image over the PDF doc, or any other HTML elements without them being graphically overridden by the PDF view. Thanks in advance.

My reading of the quoted bits is: Inside the PDF, layer ordering rules should work correctly. But the PDF itself will float above any other content in AIR.

Don't have a direct answer. But did you install the updates. They might resolve the problem.

Picking a IDOC Flat File stored in SAP R/3 Application Server by SAP PI

Hi,
Can SAP PI pickup a IDOC Flat File stored in SAP R/3 Application Server Directory and send it back as an Inbound IDOC.
Scenario:
We have a data in the EXCEL Sheet, which will be used to a fill an IDOC and the IDOC will be just save in the SAP R/3 Application Server Directory, but can not be triggered due to its peculiar behavior. Afterwards, SAP PI should pole the SAP R/3 and pick up that IDOC Flat File from the R/3 Application Server and send it back to the SAP R/3 as an Inbound IDOC.
For Ref: IDOC does not have a Outbound Process Code, thus can not be triggered and send to SAP PI. It is always used as a Inbound IDOC in SAP R/3 system.
Regards,
Saurabh

SAP PI should pole the SAP R/3 and pick up that IDOC Flat File from the R/3 Application Server
If SAP PI = 7.11 --> /people/william.li/blog/2009/04/01/how-to-use-user-module-for-conversion-of-idoc-messages-between-flat-and-xml-formats
send it back to the SAP R/3 as an Inbound IDOC
why to send some information again into R3 which it already has? cant some internal code in R3 read the info from excel and then update the IDOC directly?
