Flex 2 14 M.2/mSata

Hi!
I just bought a Flex 2 14, i5@4210u, 1Tb, 4Gb, nVidia gt840m.
I'm wondering if there's any M.2 or mSata port on the motherboard, 'cause I'd like to extend the storage with SSD and would be great if the HDD could take place in the machine too. I can't find anything in the manual.
Another question is, that does the disassembly break my warranty? I see that there's a tape under the keyboard on one of the screws that I need to take out to remove the back cover. Can I remove the tape and the back cover without breaking my warranty?

No, there is not an msata port on the mainboard. You need to replace the HDD if you want a SSD upgrade.

Flex application running under AIR takes a long, long time to start.

I have a flex application which runs on a desktop under AIR. The application has an assets folder with 3,500 mp3 soundclips totalling about 50MB. The problem is, the application takes around 90 seconds to load. I'm sure that AIR is scanning the application folder and doing something with the contents because if I delete the assets folder it loads in about 5 seconds. Does anyone know why AIR/Flex would do this, and why it doesn't exhibit the same problem if I run or debug in Flexbuilder on eclipse? It's making my killer app unusable!
Thanks
Paulo

Well, I've spent a bit longer looking at this now, and the problem appears to lie with my encrypted local store. The first thing that happens is for the app to read the product key from the ELS. But, it fails (for some unknown reason). So, the app seems to hang there for 90 seconds until it eventually renders the welcome screen. If I remove the assets folder it still fails to read from the ELS, but only takes a couple of seconds to start the welcome screen. This is where the scanning of the application folder seems to come into play, because if I remove the code which reads from the ELS the app starts within 2 seconds whether the asset folder is there or not.
I think the slow startup and the scanning of the assets folder are just symptoms of a different problem, i.e. a problem with the ELS. I don't have the same problem with my development environment though - it's only when I test deploy the application.
Thanks for your help on this problem EgorKDie. I think I should be able to resolve it once I can sort out why the ELS is being awkward.

Is there a way of working collaboratively on a flex project with a small project group?

Is there a way of working collaboratively on a flex project with a small project group?
I am part of a small group of developers who wish to work on a single flex project together. Is there a way to set up flex so that the project can be developed by multiple people at the same time. I have seen one thread out on the internet about working locally and then uploading to SVn but this is not an option in this case.
Any ideas.
Many thanks in advance
Dave

I would say that rushing into development without a source-control system will cost you more in the long-run. If your organisation is serious about developing software it then it needs to invest in the necesary infrastructure, so you should get that process kicked-off as soon as possible.
In the interim you could set-up a source control server on one developer's machine or commandeer a spare machine to use as a temporary source control server. Just make sure you have it backed-up regularly. Or you could use one of the online source control services; many will support private repositories for a small fee.

Geolocation isn't supported in the Emulator. You'll have to set up a test case that gives the geolocation without relying on the Emulator.

Error in executing a process for Flex compilation ....exceeds 32K...

Hi,
deployin my model i get the following error-message.
"Error in executing a process for Flex compilation, Error: Branch between 64935 and 97770 around line 0 exceeds 32K span. If possible, please refactor this component.
Error: Branch between 64935 and 97770 around line 0 exceeds 32K span."
Do i delete a sort-element from my model it is deployed very well. So what does this message exactly mean and how can I locate where the error occurs and how can i fix that problem because i need this sort-element to be in my model.
Thanks for your help!
Tobias

Hi Tobias,
You are receiving this error due to a current limitation in the Flex server. How you can fix this is to split the iView you are currently working on into two iViews, and embed one within the other. This will decrease the size of the current iView you are receiving the error for and eliminate this problem.
Hope this helps
Cheers,
Scott

Hi Ameya,
If its VC 7.0 then you must be using Flash Compiler.Try changing the compiler to Flash at this path
Tools->Options->Compiler->Change 'Runtime filed to Flash'.I hope this should solve your problem.

Flex launching error on Windows Vista (Windows No Disk - exception ....

Hi guys, I downloaded the flex builder from adobe, I install the application but when I'am trying to lauch my application I get the error
Windows - No Disk ... exception processing message 0xc0000013
I reinstall adobe flash and my java runtime, I still get the same error, I can create an application but I can't execute it, that's sucks!
I check on adobe in the faq for flex, they say that error occurs when you install the application from a DVD, that's not true, I downloaded from their site....
thanks
Alex

Ok guys, I found it myself, very strange!
I just change my default workspace to another one, I got the same problem then I just put back the default workspace and the problem was resolved!

Using Flex 2 for dynamic creation of a Flex 2 application at runtime

We're looking to replace our existing end-user development
environment and believe Flex 2 may be able to satisfy our
requirements. However, without spending a month trialing the
product I thought some existing user(s) could suggest (based on
personal experience) whether we'd be straining Flex 2 in expecting
it to be able to provide dynamic runtine generation and execution
of an application based on the meta-data associated with each
component. The generation of each component includes automatic form
and code generation, with end-user tailoring facilities to maintain
the meta-data (tabs, fields (visibility, location, business rules,
actions, validation etc.), display format, drill-down, work-flow
etc.), for use in the next instantiation of each conponent.

I know of at least one of our customers (not sure if I can
say which) is doing this. They use Flex to compose MXML files and
then send that to a server. The server than compiles that into a
SWF.
So it is possible, just a lot of work.

Help needed in migrating Flex 2 application to Flex 3

The application is taking a huge time to 'validate' each
component in the UI and each time we observe a timeout at different
UI component.
Few observations from our end:
1. The application is very straight forward and only thing
complex in it is UI layout. There are a few of complex layouts,
viewstacks and datagrids used.
2. The ‘creationPolicy' at application level has been
set to 'All' because of design. This although is not a standard
practice but this does not help us because the same application
compiled with Flex 2 used to load successfully.
If anybody has faced a similar issue and has some suggestions
please do give us pointers. Otherwise we are left with a lengthier
option of re-factoring the application so that creation policy
defaults to 'auto' and modify the application design.
Thanks in advance,

Options in running Windows from an mSATA drive

I recently ordered an x220 and expect to receive it this week. I also ordered an mSATA drive that I would like to install. Once I have it installed, I am not sure the best method to install Windows to the new drive and would appreciate some feedback.
I don't really like the idea of cloning the HDD to the mSATA because of solid-state disk alignment issues and degredaded performance. Also, I believe Windows 7 will correctly configure itself to utilize a solid-state when it goes through the installation process, and simply cloning the HDD will not give Windows an opprotunity to perform the configurations.
I could install Windows from scratch. I like that this option will ensure Windows will configure itself for solid-state drives. I am concerned, however, that I will not be able to reinstall all of the Lenovo drivers and applications as correctly as they should. I reviewed the User Guide for my x220 (available here) under the section of installing a new OS, and it points to registry patches to update Windows and mentions downloading various drivers from the Lenovo site. If Lenovo integrates into Windows to the degree that it requires manual registry edits, I'm not sure I want to attempt to manually place the Lenovo software on top of a plain Windows installation.
The third choice I see, although I'm not sure it will work, is burning the backup recovery media and using this to install the Lenovo configured OS onto the mSATA drive. I question if this will work because if the recovery process is only dumping flat files into the partition, it will not configure Windows properly to utilize a solid-state disk. If, however, the recovery process is a true Windows installation, it should determine that I am utilizing a solid-state and should adjust its configuration accordingly. Does anyone know how the recovery process works?
If you were in my shoes, how would you proceed with getting Windows onto the new mSATA drive? Looking forward to any replies, thanks.
Jesse

I could do that, but I would suffer write performance loss due to the SSD partition being out of alignment. I found this helpful article that describes what alignment is, and why it is important.
I think you are probably running your SSD at less than full performance capacity. Since you cloned the original HDD to the SSD, you probably didn't even notice your SSD could be performing faster. You can check you alignment by following this.
Additionally, if you don't let WIndows detect that it is being installed on a solid state disk, it won't optimize itself for that disk. I am referring to things like disk defragmentation, indexing services, or prefetching. These tasks really only apply to traditional spinning disks, and should not be enabled on a solid state. There are other things that are enabled that could be turned off, such as hibernation. With solid states, it is just as fast or faster to completely shut down the computer rather than hibernate, so why waste the disk space?
What are other people doing when they install solid states in their lenovos?

A730 Install Windows 8.1 on mSATA Issue

Installed the Crucial 240GB M500 mSATA drive and was able to install Windows 8.1 from a USB drive. When machine restarts it give the "Error 1962 : No Operating system found. Boot sequence will automatically repeat."
If you hold down F12 or go into BIOS Setup it will list the drives connected. If you go back into the Windows 8.1 installer it shows that the mSATA was formatted. If I install Windows 8.1 on to the SATA 1TB drive it also gives the same Error message. Tried using a Windows 8 disc and it give the message "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to the disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu" only if all Legacy settings are switched on.
If UEFI is switched on with CSM and Optomizer enabled or disabled all the drives are displayed and you can not still boot to the mSATA.
Is it possiable to install an OS on the mSATA drive and has anyone had any luck with it?
The orignal content that was on the 1TB SATA drive no longer exsists. Cannot locate a recovery file you could download from Lenovo.

Hi,
Please know that Windows 8.1 can use GPT partitioned disks for data. Booting is only supported for 64-bit editions on UEFI-based systems.
So, the answer of your question is No.
Know more information about GPT, you can refer to following link:

Photo gallery with Thumbnail View in Flex 3

Hello everyone
I very urgently need an answer to a very simple qeuestoon. I have been trying really hard since days to get a solution to this simple problem but in vain.
I am building an application in Flex 3. I simply want to create a photo gallery with a thumbnail where when the user clicks on a thumbnail, the image is shown in the canvas/tab navigator box next to it. The images are stored in a local folder (in src) are ARE NOT on available on any web link.
The Vbox with the thumb image and the .xml file has been created. But when I click on the thumbnail, the full image cannot be seen in the application. I dont know if this is a problem with data binding or what.
Please help!!!
Thanks a ton.

Check the folder structure
Flash is not able to get some file thats why the IO Error.
trace the url path just before u load the file and u will be abel to find whether that file is in specified folder or not.
