Event.target == null in AIR client

Hello,
once again I have a question, and this may very well be a tricky one:
I have the need to check if a dynamic XFA form has been signed from inside this form. This is quite easy and works perfectly if I just use a button on the form or just about any script event I can think of. It does, however, NOT work if I use the form inside an AIR client which is using a FormBridge construction to communicate with the PDF.
The problem seems to be that event.target is always null in that case. So what I'm looking for is either an explanation why event.target is null when embedding the form inside AIR or how to check if the form is signed without having to use event.target (or the doc object if you will).
Can anyone think of anything to achieve this?
Many thanks,
Steffen.

How do I use the event.target.name String with an external dispatchEvent?

...I hope the title question makes sense...
On my stage I have an externally loaded SWF with a button. When clicked the button dispatches an event to the main stage.
On the main stage a listener then loads an SWF into a loader called gallery.
The gallery loader is also being shared by buttons on the main stage which use the event.target.name String to call in SWFs with corresponding names.
I am using Tweens to fade-out and -in content to the gallery when a button is pressed.
Loading the SWFs was working until I tried to create a universal button function for the dispatchEvent buttons...
The problem I have is that I don't know how to define the String to tell the newSWFRequest where to find the SWF when triggered by the external buttons.
(I may be doing this all wrong... but figured the best way to load an SWF on to the main stage from an external SWF was by using dispatchEvent??)
My code triggers the Event and the gallery loader fades out, but then it cannot find the new SWF:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
Please can someone help me understand the way to make the String point in the right direction? (I think the only errors are in bold below)
Code:
var myTweenIn2:Tween;
var myTweenOut2:Tween;
var nextLoadS2:String;
// Listen for external event dispatched from external btns
addEventListener("contactStage", btnClickExtrnl);
function btnClickExtrnl(e:Event):void {
nextLoadS2 = ?????
myTweenOut2=new Tween(gallery,"alpha",None.easeOut,gallery.alpha,0,0.2,true);
myTweenOut2.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteF2);
// Btns Universal function
function tweenOutCompleteF2(e:TweenEvent){
myTweenOut2.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteF2);
myTweenOut2=null;
    var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/" + nextLoadS2 + ".swf");
myTweenIn2 = new Tween(gallery, "alpha", None.easeOut, gallery.alpha, 1, 0.2, true);
    gallery.load(newSWFRequest);
    gallery.x = Xpos;
    gallery.y = Ypos;
Thank you.

That works – thank you!
I'm now using this code to fade in each of the SWFs:
function contactStage(e:MouseEvent):void {
    var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/"+e.currentTarget.name+".swf");
    myTweenIn = new Tween(gallery, "alpha", None.easeOut, 0, 1, 0.2, true);
    gallery.load(newSWFRequest);
    gallery.x = Xpos;
    gallery.y = Ypos;
But I cannot add the fade out function. I have amended the above code to create:
var myTweenOutX:Tween;
var myTweenInX:Tween;
function contactStage(e:MouseEvent):void {
myTweenOutX=new Tween(gallery,"alpha",None.easeOut,gallery.alpha,0,0.2,true);
myTweenOutX.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteFX);
function tweenOutCompleteFX(e:TweenEvent){
myTweenOutX.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteFX);
myTweenOutX=null;
    var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/"+e.currentTarget.name+".swf");
myTweenInX = new Tween(gallery, "alpha", None.easeOut, 0, 1, 0.2, true);
    gallery.load(newSWFRequest);
    gallery.x = Xpos;
    gallery.y = Ypos;
But get this error:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property name not found on fl.transitions.Tween and there is no default value.

Flex iPad Application : Run code before application enters background Application Type: Flex Mobile Application Target Platform: iPad AIR Version: 4.0 Development Environment: Flash builder 4.6 I want to run some code just before iphone application goes

Application Type: Flex Mobile Application
Target Platform: iPad
AIR Version: 4.0
Development Environment: Flash builder 4.6
I want to run some code just before iphone application goes into background. I need function similar to didEnterBackground
of native xcode app
(https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIApplicationDelegat e_Protocol/Reference/Reference.h
tml#//apple_ref/occ/intfm/UIApplicationDelegate/applicationDidEnterBackground:)
I tried using devactivated function of flash.display.STAGE.
I used following addEventListener:
STAGE = this.parent.stage;
STAGE.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, onAppDeactivated);
It worked for me but only when device is connected to development environment in debug mode. When I create my release build
it is not working.
So how can I make sure that my code runs before application goes into background.

Even I am facing almost same issue

"event.target as Socket" in Javascript

I found an example of a small webserver built with Flex in Air. I am wanting to convert this into HTML/Javascript and all has gone well except I cannot figure out how to port this line
var socket:Socket = event.target as Socket;
Any suggestions?
"var socket = event.target;" doesn't seem to work.
Thanks,
Kyle

How do I use event.target.name in AS2?

Thanks to kglad I was able to see how event.target.name in AS3 could make a button load a movieclip with the same namesake.
I'm doing the same thing now in AS2 but don't know what to write instead of event.target.name.
And so at the moment each button pushes info into an array and then a function uses that to decide which movieclip to attach to a holder after it has faded out once, and then fades in again...
// ***** IMAGE GALLERY START ***** //
// Add image to holder
imgholder.attachMovie("img0", "image0_0", 1)
// Array
var nextLoad = ["img0"];
// Btn listeners
img5.onRelease = function() { trace (nextLoad); nextLoad.pop(); nextLoad.push("img5"); btnClick() } // Written on 1 line
img4.onRelease = function() { trace (nextLoad); nextLoad.pop(); nextLoad.push("img4"); btnClick() }
img3.onRelease = function() { trace (nextLoad); nextLoad.pop(); nextLoad.push("img3"); btnClick() }
img2.onRelease = function() { trace (nextLoad); nextLoad.pop(); nextLoad.push("img2"); btnClick() }
img1.onRelease = function() {
nextLoad.pop();
nextLoad.push("img1");
btnClick()
img0.onRelease = function() {
nextLoad.pop();
nextLoad.push("img0");
btnClick()
// The btn function
function btnClick() {
trace ("click");
var myImgTween:Object = new Tween(imgholder, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 1, true);
myImgTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
fadeOutImg();
// The btn function part II
function fadeOutImg() {
trace ("fadeOutImg");
imgholder.attachMovie(nextLoad, "image1_1", 1);
var myImgTween:Object = new Tween(imgholder, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 1, true);
I know I should be able to push the button name into the array, but am having to use a string... I'm sure my code is cumbersome!! But it works. I've tried pushing the button name but it end up including the full stage reference.
Is there a cleaner way of doing this using event.target.name?
Thanks for looking!

There is no event.target in AS2. However since AS2 has no way of remembering the scope object where the target object resides, you can use this to your advantage to retrieve the name of the target by using the "this" command in the function whenever you use the above format "mc.onPress = myfunc". FYI, the popular workaround Delegate, made it possible that when you called "this" in the function, you could retrieve the scope object where the target instance resides. So without its use, "this" will return the name of the target object. Anyway this is the code you can use:
imgholder.attachMovie("img0","image0_0",1);
var nextLoad = ["img0"];
img5.onRelease = onImgRelease;
img4.onRelease = onImgRelease;
img3.onRelease = onImgRelease;
img2.onRelease = onImgRelease;
img1.onRelease = onImgRelease;
img0.onRelease = onImgRelease;
function onImgRelease():Void {
   nextLoad.pop();
   nextLoad.push(this._name);
   btnClick();
// The btn function
function btnClick() {
   trace("click");
   var myImgTween:Object = new Tween(imgholder, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 1, true);
   myImgTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
      fadeOutImg();
// The btn function part II
function fadeOutImg() {
   trace("fadeOutImg");
   imgholder.attachMovie(nextLoad,"image1_1",1);
   var myImgTween:Object = new Tween(imgholder, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 1, true);

Any way to bypass server certificate validation in AIR client?

Is there any way to bypass certificate validation and server identification for secure Channels or ChannelSets? I am aware of the existing workaround to import my own certificate into the user's CA chain, but I feel that having greater control on the client-side is preferred.
If there is not a way to bypass client-side certificate validation I will be filing this as a feature request at http://bugs.adobe.com
Thanks,
Karl
When producing a client-server solution it is occasionally useful to override the default behavior of HTTPS certificate validation and server identification. I would like to request the ability to override these systems in the AIR environment for applications installed with the "UNRESTRICTED" system access option.
Simply allowing the use of self-signed certificates without verification (perhaps signified by a secure protocol identifier other than "https") would provide adequate functionality, but some users may desire finer control.
This issue is partly addressed by bugs FP-711 and FP-214 but I feel it is important that any enhancement include the BlazeDS Channel in the case that the AIR application has unrestricted system access.
When deploying an AIR client application which is securely connected to a network appliance which is controlled by the same developer it is desirable to bypass the overhead of acquiring a PKI issued certificate for every customer. Independent, open-source, and not-for-profit developers could see increased ability to adopt the AIR platform with this improvement.
When deploying a network appliance to be used with an AIR application the requirement for a PKI issued certificate complicates the deployment of the network appliance by requiring DNS access, and thereby requiring Internet connectivity. Some customer sites require network isolation.
It is possible to generate a developer-specific certificate and import that certificate into the AIR client host's Trusted Root Certification Authorities list. This workaround deteriorates PKI best practices and complicates the installation of AIR software. It is not possible to depend solely on the ".air" packaging for installation with the added requirement to install a new CA on the user's host.
Java provides the requested functionality by allowing developers to provide their own implementations of javax.net.ssl.TrustManager for verification and javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier for identification. We have used this technique to communicate over the SDEE protocol with Cisco IDS devices which do not usually have PKI issued certificates.

Exception occurred during event dispatching: Null pointer exception

All,
i have an applet which opens an applet window. in this applet window i have a list box.
When a value in the list box is selected, i need to access a method in the applet(held in another class) that launches another window
however i get the following error:
Exception occurred during event dispatching: Null pointer exception
(hope thats clear enough)
p.s. i have created an instance of the class.

That is not clear at all, but the cause for the exception is very easy:
something is null that should not be null :)

AS 3.0 how to set event target?

Hi,
I am trying to execute an event on a specific target and I am
not successful in doing this in AS 3.0 since event.target is read
only. Here is the scenario:
- I have a button and the path to this button is:
DataEntry0._UpdateDeleteProd1.Form10.FormItem102.HBox103.Button104
I know this because I did install a listener to and when I
clicked I recorded the path.
- I would like to execute a click programmatically on that
path by just creating an event and setting the target to that
button
(DataEntry0._UpdateDeleteProd1.Form10.FormItem102.HBox103.Button104)
however I don’t know how to set the target. Can anybody help
or point me to the right direction so I can do this.
Thanks…

zoran,
Sorry,I didn't explain what to do very clearly :).
Básically, the event.taget parameter is set when you use the
dispatchEvent function, so if you want an event to be dispatched
from a Object you must call the dispatchEvent from this function.
The line I gave you wont work by itself since I don't know
how you reference
DataEntry0._UpdateDeleteProd1.Form10.FormItem102.HBox103.Button104
in your application.
But what you need to do is call the dispatchEvent function in
the Button104 object with the specific event you want to trigger.

Using event.target.submitForm to submit a PDF and XML attachment in a single email.

I have a button on a PDF form which emails a PDF and XML attachment of the current form in two seperate emails. The code is as follows:
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:" + "[email protected]" +"?subject="+"Request for action " + "&body=Please find attached..." ,cSubmitAs:"XML",cCharset:"utf-8"});
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:" + "[email protected]" +"?subject="+"Request for action " + "&body=Please find attached..." ,cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
This results in 2 seperate emails, when all I need is a single email with two attachments. Is there a way to do this?

As far as I know you can only attach one attachment at once.

                  waters_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stdrag);
Please suggest me if any one.

for each loader created, create a movieclip and add your loader to the movieclip. assign all the properties you want to retrieve later to the movieclip and assign your event listeners to the movieclip.

AS 3.0 event target problem!!!

I have an interesting problem regarding event.target in Flex
2/ActionScript 3.0. I am using the Flex Grocer app in order to try
something out. I am attaching listeners to all the click events and
then printing out event.target to keep track of my events and where
we clicked, nothing revolutionary here very easy stuff. Once I get
the paths I would like to run code that will execute my steps and
play the clicks back based on the event.target information that I
got and I was able to do that except when we have popups. Here is
the problem:
When I execute a click on a button with event.target =
DataEntry0._UpdateDeleteProd1.Form10.FormItem102.HBox103.Button104
A poupup appears and then I click on the close button on that
popup with event.target=
ConfirmScreen464.UIComponent494.Button498
COUPLE OF PROBLEMS HERE:
1) I don’t have the path to the root (DataEntry0) even
though I use the standard event.target.
2) This is even a bigger problem, the DOM path
(ConfirmScreen464.UIComponent494.Button498) is dynamically
generated (the numbers are dynamically generated) so when I use
that path that I got during the time I was monitoring the app, when
I use my code to play the events that very same target does not
correspond to the popup that the fist event caused.
I tried using IDs but in Flex I have not found anything like
document.getElementById() that is available in JavaScript. Any help
on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
p.s. I looked at the automation library that Flex has (and
Mercury QTP uses) but that will not work for me.

zoran,
Sorry,I didn't explain what to do very clearly :).
Básically, the event.taget parameter is set when you use the
dispatchEvent function, so if you want an event to be dispatched
from a Object you must call the dispatchEvent from this function.
The line I gave you wont work by itself since I don't know
how you reference
DataEntry0._UpdateDeleteProd1.Form10.FormItem102.HBox103.Button104
in your application.
But what you need to do is call the dispatchEvent function in
the Button104 object with the specific event you want to trigger.

How to check event.target type in "if" statement

Hi, i have "roll over" event listener and i would like to that works only with MovieClips (without textfields etc.). I would like to write something like that:
if(event.target == MovieClip){ do something }
else { do something else}
This doesn`t work properly.
How to check type of event.target in "if" statement?
Thanks for any help.

:
if(getQualifiedClassName(event.target) == "flash.display::MovieClip"){ do something }
else { do something else}

Passing event target name to text field

Hi There,
I'm new to 3.0 and can use some help here... should be an
easy one for you experts...
I just need to pass an event target name to a text field:
square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,downObj);
function downObj(event:MouseEvent){
targetObj = event.target;
mydrag.visible = true;
targetObj.startDrag();
mydrag.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, dragClip);
target_txt.text = String(event.target);
I've also tried:
target_txt.text = event.target;
but no luck so far..
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Cheers...

That's right...
target_txt.text = String(event.target
.name);
works like a charm.
thank you!

Compile error for DragManager.acceptDragDrop(event.target)

This line
DragManager.acceptDragDrop(event.target);
seems to be giving me the following compile error:
Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a
possibly unrelated type mx.core:IUIComponent.
(There is an arrow pointing to "target", I guess indicating
that that is the Object causing the problem.)
I'm not sure why this is giving me an error since the
official Adobe document describing how to migrate applications from
Flex 1.5 to Flex 2 says that
DragManager.acceptDragDrop(event.target) is what's supposed to
replace event.handled=true.

Hi.
The problem is that DragManager.acceptDragDrop expects a
UIComponent but Event.target is typed as Object. You need to cast
the target as a UIComponent. Try this:
DragManager.acceptDragDrop(UIComponent(event.target));

Event.target == null in AIR client
