Error in application: custom component Localization in flex library project

Hi!
I created custom component in flex library project and I created resource bundle for it. Now it all compiles, but when I add the component to other project I get an error: Unable to resolve resource bundle "Guestbook" for locale "en_US".
So can someone help me with this?

Where are your resource bundles located in relation to your Flex project src folder?
You may need to add the path to the bundles using Project - Properties - Flex Build Path and then add the parent folder to the resource bundles.
If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.

How do I apply programmatic skins for completely custom drawn components of a Flex library project?

Hello folks,
I am looking for best practices advice when (1) creating
custom components and (2) styling and skinning.
I already know how to skin a component part of the Flex
framework. I can make a class extending ProgrammaticSkin and have
my component skinned using CSS to link the component with the
reference to my custom class.
However what about those cases when you are completely
creating a component from scratch?
Imagine a "Freehand Drawing Canvas" component that allows the
user to draw on it and has some buttons to set color styles, line
styles, etc., or imagine a "Screen Flow Gallery" component that
displays visual objects in a fashion similar to Cover Flow in the
Mac.
In many components I am aware you may reuse other components
part of the Flex framework but I am trying to picture an scenario
where you would need to draw everything yourself because there just
isn't something to base it upon so you will end up drawing it from
scratch.
To learn how instead of building one of those components I
mentioned previously I decided to start with something simple that
would illustrate this like a LiteButton component that will behave
just like the Flex mx.controls.Button but will extend UIComponent
and be completely custom drawn.
The component will have a default look and will also be
style-able and skin-able. I will provide styles for users of the
component to modify and regarding skinning anyone can create a
custom ProgrammaticSkin adding its own drawing logic and link it to
the component via CSS with the ClassReference applied to the skin
selector.
So far so good and it's clear what I want to achieve. I
actually know how to do most of the stuff here but I have one
single problem.
Here is my question, where should I put my custom drawing
logic? If I do it in the updateDisplayList inside the class
extending UIComponent it works, however I thought that it would be
a better practice to do it using programmatic skins, that way I
could provide different skin themes for my component set.
The problem is that I can't make the programmatic work in
this scenario. I tried instantiating the custom programmatic skin
during the updateDisplayList of the LiteButton component and adding
it to my display object via addChild but that didn't do anything. I
also tried creating a "default.css" stylesheet and tried to use
ClassReference as I would normally do to skin an already existing
component (or composite component as well) but that didn't do
anything either.
So how do I apply programmatic skins for completely custom
drawn components of my Flex library project?
I could do it inside the updateDisplayList of the LiteButton
class extending UIComponent but again I would like to provide
different theme sets for my components so it makes sense using
programmatic skins.

These aren't mutually exclusive. When you provide a skin with
a
TypeSelector, you have to add it to the display list
somewhere, and this is
typically done in updateDisplayList or addChildren. I prefer
to do it in
updateDisplayList, because you can then change it if the
style changes.

Exactly what did you do?

I've never had any problem using an approach similar to
this...but I will
say that I couldn't see any advantage in creating a
default.css style sheet,
since it's not really default in the way that the one that
comes with Flex
is. It's much more obvious to anyone using your component
what's going on
there if you create a style sheet where they're likely to
spot it.

It seems like your approach is fine, but maybe you've made a
mistake in your
implementation.

You might want to consider also adding an instance of
HaloBorder to your
component. That brings a lot of functionality with it.

Flex Library Project(SWC) with css and image assets

HI,
I want to create a flex library project with images and css. I shall use that swc with other flex applications. I wand to use those css and images from the swc. Is it possible? Can you please explain in detail.
Thanks
Nirmal

Right... but how do I reference that CSS outside of the
Libray Project?
All I want my library project to be is a CSS and images
Then I want to include that library project in my main
project, and have the main project call the CSS file inside the
library project

Include xml data file in Flex Library Project

Hi all,
i've got a Flex Library Project in which I include some
assets, as css files and some xml data files too. They are located
in my project root, under /assets/css and /assets/data. Once
compiled, if I use my library in other projects, the css styles
from the css under /assets/css apply, but the xml data files are
not found.Both are checked in the Flex Library Build Path window of
the project's properties.
There's any reason why the xml files are not included? Or
should I reference them in some other way... In my library project
I'm doing: ' theHTTPService.url = "assets/data/data_file.xml" '
thanks in advance,
Marc

Hi Greg, thanks for answering.
Yes, that's what I'd like to know also... I mark it to be
added to the library, but how can I be sure if it's in the final
.swc? Are they browseable somehow?
thanks,
Marc

Thats good news.

"Flex Library Project"

Just a terminological note - "Flex Library Project" should be renamed to just "Library Project". It has nothing to do with Flex Framework. You can create non-flex libraries. Now as Flex Builder has become Flash Builder, it is even more illogical.

Good point. Can you please file a bug/enhancement at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex.

How can i solve this problem? thanks

Hi Rui
Very difficult to know from your description.
It's a class-cast exception - try to find the line in your code that's doing the cast, and find out what the actual object is.
It could also be a jar versioning problem, or a class-loader problem.
Sorry, very difficult to help without doing some detailed debugging.

Showing Error MEssage using Custom Component

Hi,
I have built the custom component to validate the File Size and File Extension.
I.e user should be able to check in the document if size is less than 5MB and file extension is one of "Pdf", "doc", "tiff", "png".
Here whenever the validation files i am throwing the exception "File Size Exeeds the Limit or Invalid file Type".
I am able to get the custom component working as per the validation. And it is alsi logging the error in the Log file.
But i need to show the error message when the user cllick on the check in button in UCM page.
As of now it shows some generic error saying "Unable to execute service CHECKIN_NEW_SUB and function validateStandard.
The error was caused by an internally generated issue. The error has been logged"
Any help on this is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Rakshitha Shetty.

Hi,
You could throw a ServiceException in your filter with the message you want to display.

What's the difference between action script library project and flex library project

i see a new project named actionscript library project. what's the difference?

In ActionScript Library Project, there is no MXML support and Flex related libraries will not be added by default. Otherwise both are similar.
Thanks

I can't tell from the description whether these are compile time problems or runtime problems, but you could try checking that your Flex project is marked as a 10.0 or later project, and that when you run the SWF you are running it in a 10.0 or later Player.
In the FlashBuilder, there is a section in the project preferences for "ActionScript (Flex) compile". Make sure that the minimum player is 10.0 or later. If you are using Flex Builder 3, this can be done by turning on the HTML wrapper option, and setting the minimum player there.

How to use a flex custom component in an AS3 Class?

Our software team has been developing flash applications using AS3 (via the FlashDevelop IDE and the free Flex SDK). Recently, some members of the team started exploring FlexBuilder and Flex (wow... why did we wait so long?). The problem is that some folks continue to develop using pure Action Script 3 (FlashDevelop) while others are creating custom components in FlexBuilder.
How do the AS3 developers use the Flex Custom components built in FlexBuilder in their AS3 Applications?

SwapnilVJ,
Your suggestions enabled me to make progress, but I'm still having a problem. Based on you suggestion, I learned how to make a swc using Flex Builder. I successfully added the swc to the lib resource in my AS3 project (FlashDevelop). I was able to instantiate one of my new components (code hinting even picked it up from the lib).
When I run my app, my component is not visible. I can trace properties of it and the values are correct. Any thought why I might not be seeing my custom component?
package trainer.games.board.MatchThree {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Test extends Sprite{
private var cp:MatchingGameControlPanel; // <<< this is my swc custom component created in Flex
public function Test() {
   cp = new MatchingGameControlPanel();
   cp.visible = true;
   addChild(cp);
   trace("width: ",cp.width); // <<< works and displays valid data for the component.

Custom Component Error -- Uggh

I have tried to solve the problem using online resouces, 3rd party message boards, Xcelsius tutorials, the textbook "Xcelsius 2008: Dashboard Best Practices", tutorials which came with the Xcelsius SDK, among others, however, I continue to run into problems. Additionally, I am have tried to fix by reading the Flex 3 SDK, Xcelsius 2008 SDK, and the samples for Xcelsius/Flex which came bundled in the SDK.
The problem is that the custom component, created in Flex 3 Hotfix and brought into Xcelsius using the Add-on Packager and the Add-on Manager does not display on the canvas. While all of the inherent components in Xcelsius work correctly the custom component does not display. When dropped on the canvas it simply disappears and never instatiates on the canvas and also is not listed inside the object browser. The custom component is, however, listed in the vertical menu under the category Add-Ons.
Example:
1. I use a sample Flex project which was included in the Xcelsius SDK and bring it into Flex 3 builder.
2. I configure the project to run appropriately in my local environment
3. I build the project successfully.
4. I open the Xcelsius Add-on Packager
4a. In the GENERAL tab I give the package a name
4b. In the VISUAL tab I type the name of the class (i.e. com.business.dept.project )
4c. In the VISUAL tab I type the display name (i.e. Email Component)
4d. In the VISUAL tab I type the directory location of the .swf (i.e. C:\Xcelsius\Flex\Project\Email\emailcomponent.swf )
4e. In the VISUAL tab I type the directory location of the property sheet (i.e. C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Xcelsius\SDK\bin\propertyinspector.swc )
4f. In the BUILD tab I build the component sucessfully
5. I open Xcelsius and go to File -- Manage Add-Ons
6. I add the new emailcomponent.xlx file to the Add-on Manager and select Close
7. I exit Xcelsius and reopen Xcelsius
8. The new component is listed in the vertical menu under Components -- Add-Ons
9. I test the function of inherent objects and drag a pie chart successfully onto the canvas of Xcelsius
10. I drag my new component onto the canvas, and while there is a visible border outline of the object as I drag over the canvas, when I drop the component onto the canvas the object does NOT appear on the canvas.
11. I re-test another inherent componet in Xcelsius which works fine
12. I re-test my component with the same failure.
Thank you for the assistance in advance.
Alex Dove

I have successfully created a Flex component in Xcelsius. The data is static and hard coded into the Flex component which is not ideal, but it certainly is a step in the right direction.
My steps were as follows:
1. Create a new Flex project
2. Create a new Flex component and save it into the class namespace directory I was planning on using
3. Include all of the MXML logic for the application in the component file
4. Reference the component file in the Application file as a namespace reference
5. Save the file
6. Create an .xlx file using the Xcelsius Add-on Packager
7. Typing the class namespace location using the entire path and file name without the extension
8. Loading the new component into Xcelsius
9. Building the app.
Success.
Thank you for all the help

Importing a custom component from Flash Catalyst with Assets

I am experimenting with Flash Catalyst to see if it would work well for us to create components for Flash Builder to use. As a test I created a very simple component with a Pie Chart and a button and exported it as a fxpl file. In Flash Builder I created a Flex library project and imported the component to it. When I tried to use the component in a trivial test app it gave me an error, saying 'Could not resolve <graphics:fc_pie> to a component implementation', presumably because it had not put the component files in the right place of the library tree - by default they were put in a folder at the same level as components but with the name of the component, below which it had a components folder and an assets folder. If I move the files in these folders to the corresponding folders under src then it works fine.
The question is, how do I get Flash Builder to do this correctly? I assume I'm missing something obvious but I am a real Flash Builder Novice and this process is about evaluating which tools to use. Sorry if I'm being a numpty. I'm using Flash builder 4.5 and Flash Catalyst CS5.5.
Any help much appreciated.

If you look in the library panel, there should be an entry for your custom component - probably something like CustomComponent1.mxml. Drag this out onto the artboard to create a new instance of the component.
In the case of a custom component, you can't change much on the second instance. If you have something like a text input skin though, you can change the text it is displaying for each instance.
We are working on making this sort of thing easier in the future, so stay tuned

Component property declaration in a Custom Component

Hello everyone,
I have a question related to a custom component. I will define a use case and how I want to define a property.
e.g.: I develop a custom component using Flex Library Project, with all manifest.xml, design.xml, locale etc. My component name is CustomList, now in this component, I define a property with following getter/setter.
// defaultState
private var _defaultState:CustomState;
[Bindable( "defaultStateChange" )]
//I have tried defining type property as CustomState, doesn't works
[Inspectable( category="General", name="Default State" )]
public function get defaultState():CustomState
     return _defaultState
public function set defaultState( v:CustomState ):void
     if ( _defaultState!= v)
          _defaultState = v
          dispatchEvent(new Event("defaultStateChange"))
Here, CustomState extends MXMLObjectAdapter and defines a id property and few other property. and In mxml I can define it like this,
<CustomList ....>
     <defaultState>
          <CustomState label="" icon="" />
     </defaultState>
</CustomList>
Now, what I want to achieve is, I want to define property something like this:
<CustomList ....>
     <defaultState label="" icon=""/>
</CustomList>
Can someone tell me how to achieve this and point me to some description about it.
Thanks in advance.
Chetan Sachdev

@Ryan:
Thanks for your reply. For type property in Inspectable metadata tag: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/gumbo/html/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf680e1-7ffe.html#W S2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7a21
It can have values like Boolean, Array, String etc. I am trying to have a custom one. But I notice that I have to close the property tag, even if it is a string or html for e.g. text property in TextInput, I have to write something like this:
<mx:TextInput>
        <mx:htmlText>
            <![CDATA[
            ]]>
        </mx:htmlText>
    </mx:TextInput>
and
<mx:TextInput>
        <mx:text>something</mx:text>
    </mx:TextInput>
But I still think, it should be there. Not sure
