Flex 3 Livedocs location

For some reason I need to refer to Flex 3 lvedocs and I think Adobe have removed it completely from its resources. Any idea from where can I download/refer them?

Yes, it appears that Adobe has completely removed the Flex 3 documentation. I encountered this a few weeks ago. In case you didn't see it - have a look at this forum thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5943888. There are some links to downloads of the Flex 3 PDF documentation. I have not seen or heard of any mirrors or downloadable versions of the HTML version of the Flex 3 docs. Hope that helps.

Multiple JavaScript errors on Flex LiveDocs pages

The newest beta 3
livedocs
don't work properly with Opera 8.5 and Opera 9 browsers.
Most annoying being Show/Hide Inherited... links not working
properly. As it stands, livedocs are quite unusable in Opera :-(
Some errors from JS console:

So get this. After disabling, uninstalling, reinstalling both the extensions and Dreamweaver. Even deleted some new printer drivers because that was the only other thing that had changed, it came down to this...the DOCTYPE!
Not exactly sure why, but the DOCTYPE on my page had changed from
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
to
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN">
That's what broke the extension. Apparently ADDT needs "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"! As soon as I added it back in, it worked without any issues.
Thanks for the help though!

Getting Started with Flex 2

I played with Flex 2 beta 3 a while back, then got pulled off
into other things, and am now back to looking at Flex again and
thought I would go through the getting started lessons (on
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=00000138 .html).
I got to the second page and immediately got stuck.
Step 1 reads: "In a text editor, open the
data-management-config.xml file located in the WEB_INF/flex
directory of the samples web application. "
OK, where is this WEB_INF/flex directory located? And what is
the "samples web application" that is being referred to?
I THINK I found the right file, but in step 2 it says:
"Directly above the text <destination id="contact">, make
sure the following destination definition exists. "
The quoted text does not exist in the file, but the
definition it further explains to add already does exist.
So move on to the next page and it says to "...create an MXML
(text) file that contains the following text and save it as
lesson1.mxml in the DSLessons directory of the samples web
application." There's that samples web application reference again
- where IS that?
Oh, well THEN it has a link to a "Before you Begin" section -
maybe there are some answers in there! I click on that (why isn't
it in the index on the left?) and it takes me to a page suggesting
I do a few things. One of the things it says is, "Create a
DSLessons directory that is a subdirectory of the samples directory
of the samples web application. "
OK, well, dammit, now I'm frustrated! WHERE AND WHAT IS THE
SAMPLES DIRECTORY OF THE SAMPLES WEB APPLICATION?!
Is it wrong of me to assume that a "Getting Started with Flex
2" document would provide some foundational information that is not
based on assumptions of prior knowledge of the inner workings of
the very product I'm trying to get started with? This isn't even my
first time playing with Flex! In fact, I was hoping to find some
good step-by-step introductory material that would help some of my
coworkers learn a bit about it.
Where can I find some?

OK, apparently the primary source of my confusion here is
that some link I clicked on (I thought from a readme file, but I
can't find it again) took me to the aforementioned page in the
livedocs and did not display any corresponding topic open in the
left column, so I assumed I was on the first page of the getting
started section (especially since I was actively looking for a
getting started section when I wound up here). I have discovered a
more usable thread in the livedocs and am now a happier
camper.

Transfer data from a worksheet to a Flex embedded application

Hi,
I would like to transfer data from an Office 2003 worksheet
to a Flex application located on the same worksheet (ie Flash
activeX inserted). To pass these data, I use the ExternalInterface
API in the Flex framework.
All works fine if the Flex file (a SWF in fact) is not
embedded into the Excel file. When I decided to embedd the Flex
application into Excel, I met the folowing error:
SecurityError: Error #2060: Security sandbox violation:
ExternalInterface caller file:///C|/Program%20Files/Microsoft%
20Office/OFFICE11/EXCEL.EXE cannot access <unknown>.
at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/_initJS()
at flash.external::ExternalInterface$/call()
at
DisplayContainerData/GetExcelData()[E:\DisplayContainerData\src\DisplayContainerData.mxml :22]
at
DisplayContainerData/___DisplayContainerData_Button1_click()[E:\DisplayContainerData\src\ DisplayContainerData.mxml:246]
I tried to play with activeX properties (allowScriptAccess
and AllowNetworking) without success. How can I fix this error?
In the other hand, I must call Flex method in VBA code. I
tried to use the CallFunction method of the Excel Shockwave activeX
object, but it always fails. Here is the used syntax in my VBA code
(the 'test' function exists in Flex code and is registered with the
ExternalInterface.addCallback method):
Call ShockwaveFlash1.CallFunction("<invoke name=""test""
returntype=""xml""/> <arguments> <string>Hello
World!</string> </arguments> </invoke>")
The reported error is:
"Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)': Method
'CallFunction' of object IShockwaveFlash' failed"
I have tried the same call with a dotNet application and it
succeeded. How can I call a Flex function in Excel VBA code ?
Thanks.

One way would be to extract the data from the existing cube using a function module that would mimic the query level filters and restrictions. That data can be populated into the new cube.
I wud suggest u take the data from a non-aggregated layer (say a DSO below the cube).
Also, check for the possibility of running the APD in multiple runs by using some kind of selection that would sum up to give u the whole data required.
Can u confirm if ur query itself is getting timed out?

FLEX to send SWIFT messages to banks

Anyone here used FLEX to send SWIFT messages to banks? is this a bad idea?

These Flex LiveDoc pages and links should help. You can use an HTTPService to call the PHP script on the server, and that PHP script can call the other one on the server, and that 2nd script can return data or a message to the Flex app.

Flex Security

Hi there,
I have a Java webservice at:
http://mydomain/service/service?wsdl
And I have a Flex app located at:
http://mydomain/
If mydomain is "localhost" then my flex app can call the
webservice without any problem. However, when I migrated the two
apps to a non-localhost I got a security error:
Webservice call failed: [FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault
faultString="Security error accessing url"
faultCode="Channel.Security.Error" faultDetail="Destination:
DefaultHTTP"] messageId=null type="fault" bubbles=true
cancelable=true eventPhase=2]
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks a lot,
Chris

I mean that I have been developing and testing on my local
machine with a local webserver (localhost) and now I've put both
the flex app and webservice on a remote machine.
Anyway, I've actually fixed this problem now - I didn't
update the webservice files to point to the new host - however now
I have another problem...
Webservice call failed: [FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault
faultString="HTTP request error" faultCode="Server.Error.Request"
faultDetail="Error: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false
cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032: Stream Error. URL:
http://mydomain:8080/service/service"
URL:
http://mydomain:8080/service/service"
messageId=null type="fault" bubbles=true cancelable=true
eventPhase=2]
Any ideas on this one? I read that you can get this error if
the URL is incorrect, but these are definitely correct.
Thanks
Chris

RDS - Flex 2 errors

Arrrgggg. This is driving me nuts. Using Win2K3 with all
updates, IIS6, web xml file is not commented, server ports 80 and
8500 fail, tried using IP, reinstalled CF, DW and CF Admin will
connect using RDS, password reset, java update. Nothing works and
it's driving me insane, In the RDS cofiguration of Flex I get the
"can't connect to RDS" error.
I want to use Flex, I really do, but it shouldn't be this
hard to configure using a Win2K3 and IIS6 setup.

Hi, I had the same difficulties in a previous post last week
(look for if you like) and received this answer which seems
comprehensive -- but I have not put it into effect just yet
(working with the localhost for now).
Not sure if it helps (I'm a clueless noob at the moment) but
getting there slowly. . . .
As it is on port 8300 it sounds like you performed a JRun
install and used the built in ColdFusion web server. I would not
recommend doing that. I would suggest installing Apache or
configuring IIS. Then reinstall ColdFusion and chose to run the web
server connector. That way you can have it running on the standard
port 80. If you do not like IIS, Apache for Windows in version
2.2.6 also has OpenSSL built in if you wanted to test with SSL.
When you get to the point where it asks you to choose the web
root if it is not actually pointing to your wwwroot (htdocs for
apache) directory make sure to point it there as this is where it
will install your CFIDE directory and it is handy to have that in
your web root rather then having to remap it later.
Make sure that when it prompts you to set a password for the
RDS that you do. You will need it for flex builder.
Sounds like you have already figured out how to create a DSN
so I will skip that. Just make sure that they validate.
Once all that is done I suggest one other thing. Flex needs
access to the services-config.xml file to compile. You will hear
lots of advice about copying it over to your local system in a fake
directory. I find it better to share out the directory it is in on
the server and then point FlexBuilder to that directory. That path
is C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\WEB-INF\flex\services-config.xml by
default. But you will want to just share out the ColdFusion8 Folder
itself.
Then share out your webroot. For IIS I believe that is just
c:\wwwroot. Just share the folder under the same name is fine.
Make sure you can get to each of the folders over the network
using their UNC paths. The reason for this will become clear later.
Or at least less foggy.
Once all that is done move to your Development workstation.
Open a command prompt and make sure that you can ping your server
by Name. IP addresses are ok but it is better to use the name in my
opinion. If you do not have local DNS resolving names you can
configure your systems Hosts file to point to that servers IP
address for any given web URL you would like.
On your workstation when you install flex builder make sure
to choose to install the ColdFusion Extensions for FlexBuilder.
Then open flex builder. I use Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 so if you
are using version 2.01 your screens will differ.
Click File > New > Flex Project
Provide a project name. Anything is fine for now this is just
a test.
Example: mycoolnewflexsite
Choose the default location for the workspace or choose
another location. It does not really matter where you put the
workspace. Just don't forget where you put it if you change it's
default location. Your workspace is not the same as your WebRoot.
The Work space is Flex's location where it keeps your configuration
information about your projects and it's UN-Compiled source files.
Choose ColdFusion for the server technology and Select
ColdFusion Flash Remoting for this instance.
Click next.
On the next screen it is going to ask you which installation
type. My install uses a standalone server. Sounds like yours is
JRun which I believe means you have to choose Deployed to J2EE. You
will want to look that up. Either way there is not too much
difference in the screens.
For the standalone these are the settings I use.
UNCHECK the "Use default location for local
ColdFusion server".
In the field put in the UNC path to the shared ColdFusion8
Folder on our development server.
Example: \\MyServerName\ColdFusion8
This way FlexBuilder has access to that services-config.xml
we were talking about through the UNC path. No need to copy it over
to your workstation and you can keep it consistant amongst
developers this way.
Uncheck the Use built-in ColdFusion web server
for the Web root use the shared webroot from your server you
shared out above and the name of the root file for your sites
folder inside that shared directory.
Example: \\MyServerName\wwwroot\MyCoolNewFlexSite
For the Root URL you will want the actual URL that you will
be using to get to your website.
http://www.mycoolnewflexsite.com
(Again your DNS should be pointing to your local development
servers ip address and not the real world web address for your
site. If you do not have DNS running in your network then use your
local workstations Hosts file to simulate the same thing.)
Down below that will be a field called "Output
folder". This is where flex is going to put the files that
it Compiles. For this you will want to have the same exact path as
the Web Root. It may already be in there with a debug folder
attached to the end. I prefer to take off the debug folder and just
make it exactly the same as my web root path.
By using the UNC paths instead of local files this allows
FlexBuilder to compile directly to the servers wwwroot directory
you will be testing the files from. No need to transfer the
compiled files this way. Might not make your network admin happy
but you will have at least two weeks before your network admin can
figure out where the extra traffic is coming from and then only if
they are well above average. And trust me I know wherefore I speak
about network admins. Odds are they will never figure it out and if
they do it just gives you reason to have them install a gigabit
switch and hook you up to the server at a faster pace. It's part of
the work requirements RIGHT?!
OK so after you have those paths in place click on validate
configuration. You may get a warning about there already bing a bin
directory but just ignore that and move on.
click next.
On the next screen for the main source folder I prefer to
erase the default src it uses. That's up to you.
For the main application mxml file just use whatever is there
for now. You can always change it later.
For the Output folder URL change it to the URL of your site.
I.E.
http://www.mycoolnewflexsite.com
Then click finish.
FlexBuilder will open up your applications main MXML file. To
test if it is working you should be able to just add in a text line
and click the compile button.
<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute">
<mx:Text id="hw"
text="Hello World!" />
</mx:Application>
If all goes well it will pop open your browser to the URL
from your development server with your compiled Hello World
displayed. If you get that far you are almost home.
Still a bit more though.
So once this is cone click on Window > Preferences and
then click the + next to ColdFusion and click RDS Configuration.
In the RDS configuration highlight localhost and just click
remove.
Then click new button.
For Description put in the Name of your development server.
For the Host Name also put in the name of your development
server
For the port choose port 80 (Assuming you set up IIS or
Apache as recommended.)
Assuming you have not yet set up multiple users in ColdFusion
Administrator then your User Name is going to be simply
"admin".
Put in your password you set up for the RDS password when you
were installing ColdFusion Server.
Click on Test Connection. If it tests out then you will have
just completed your install. The Test Debugger will not work until
you turn on Debugging in the ColdFusion server Administrator. I
will let you figure that out on your own as I am getting tired of
typing.
I realize that's a lot but once you have done it 3 or 4
hundred times it becomes second nature.
Hope that helped and did not muddy the waters. I realized as
I was typing that this really is not a good explanation without
pictures. Next time I do a development install I will have to take
screen shots I guess.

Sorry, we don’t really provide source for those classes right now.

I have a license of Flex Builder 3.0.1 Pro, running Win XP.
Inside "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\sdks\2.0.1\frameworks\source\mx\automation\" folder I can only locate a listing of source code of IAutomationManager interface.
Inside "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\sdks\3.2.0\frameworks\projects\automation\src\mx\automation\" folder there is also a bunch of open sourced classes present, but even source code of IAutomationManager interface is missing.
And source code for AutomationManager.as and QTPAdapter.as classes are nowhere to find.
And I tried to extract source files from Data Visualization package as suggested here

We can look at setting up some subtopic forums targeting specifics like automation once we have our new system in place.

What I plan to do, is to write a couple of delegates to prepare (instrument) my custom components that extend from UIComponent for testing.
I found the source file for AQAdapter.as from FlexMonkey tool at
http://code.google.com/p/flexmonkey/source/browse/trunk/FlexMonkey/src/com/gorillalogic/aq adaptor/AQAdapter.as, by studying the code of AQAdapter.as I can get the better idea what QTPAdapter.as does.
In general, I found the documentation on test automation for Flex application to be very modest and limited, for example many attributes for XML-based "class information file" for HP QuickTest tool are not documented at Adobe Flex livedocs.
BTW, is there any better place where test professionals and Adobe Flex developers exchange the knowledge on test automation of Flex apps?
I've tried

http://www.google.com/custom?domains=SQAforums.com&q=Adobe+Flex&sitesearch=SQAforums.com> , but I left with a feeling the most enquiries were made by people who are just evaluating possiblity of testing of Flex apps with HP QuickTest tool.

Parameter is incorrect compile problem in virtual box

Hi, since Linux support for flash builder (flex builder at the time) was dropped longer ago, we Linux users are forced to use virtualbox to run flash builder. Latest virtualbox 4.1 has an issue to build flex projects.
I spent hours yestarday to try to solve this and finally only working solution I found was to downgrade back virtualbox to version 4.0
Stuff I tried after upgrading to VB4.1
1. building existing flex project in existing installation of flash builder 4.5
2. using 4.5.0 sdk and 4.5.1 SDK to compile.
3. trying to set lower flash target, and changing other deployment params
4. getting rid or any aditional compiler parameters
5. setting up same project again using same fodler with files
6. setting up project from scratch with project source files got fresh from repo
7. trying with new flash builder installation 4.6 trial with 4.6 flex sdk
none of these helped and all resulted in compilation error
Parameter is incorrect, flex problem, location "Unknown".
As this thread explaines http://forums.adobe.com/thread/982266
there may be other solution which is to setup new windows virtual machine and install flex there.
but for me this is just another bad solution as mine so far (not upgrading VB)
After downgrading back to VB 4.0 all even existing projects in both 4.5 and 4.6 built with no problems.
Just to complete I'm using Windows 7 as OS in VM.
If anyone finds acceptable solution please share..
thanks.

So for those interested, I solved this problem by creating another blank Windows VM, re-installing Flash Builder and importing my project again.
It seems that Adobe Flash Builder has built in something obscure that does not like you migrating a VM to another host. I did un-register and re-register my product between the VM's by the way - that also did not work.

Sample : How to Installing AIR3 SDK in FlashDevelop 3 ?

Hi everyone, if you not use Adobe Flash CS or Adobe FlashBuilder
but you need to test AIR 3.0 SDK. I need to share sample that i try to other IDE as open source FlashDevelop.
let's see below how to do that :
** For WIN version ONLY
Requirement :
1.     FlashDevelop 3.3.4 RTM [recommend]
2.     Flex SDK 4.5.0.19786 [recommend]
3.     AIR 3.0 SDK
Walkthrough this step :
     1. download and extract Flex SDK to "C:\flex_sdk_4.5.0.19786"
     2. download and extract AIR3.0 SDK to AIR3.0
     3. In folder AIR3.0 copy all file and paste in folder flex_sdk_4.5.0.19786.
     4. If you never install FlashDevelop just follow through it's installation,
          thenrun FlashDevelop goto "Project > New Project..."
     5. choose "AIR AS3 Projector"
     6. type your project name in text filed after "Name :"
     7. Browse.. "Location :" where you need to save your project, then click "OK"
     8. type your author name and click "OK",
          now your new project was created
     9. goto "Tools > Program Settings..."
     10. click "AS3Context" on left panel
     11. see on right panel click "Flex SDK Location"
     12. Browse.. to "C:\flex_sdk_4.5.0.19786"
     13. click "FlashViewer" on left panel
     14. see on right panel click "External Player Path"
     15. Browse.. to "C:\flex_sdk_4.5.0.19786\runtimes\player\10.2\win\FlashPlayerDebugger.exe", then click "Close"
     16. goto "Tools > Flash Tools > Documentation Generator..."
     17. goto tab "Settings"
     18. in text filed below "ASDoc location:"
     19. Browse.. to "C:\flex_sdk_4.5.0.19786\bin" , then click "Save Settings"
     20. see on right panel in FlashDevelop
          open file "CreateCertificate.bat"
          edit in line :
               set PATH=%PATH%;$(FlexSDK)\bin
          change to
               set PATH=%PATH%;C:\flex_sdk_4.5.0.19786\bin
     21. open file "PackageApplication.bat"
          edit in line :
               set PATH=%PATH%;$(FlexSDK)\bin
          change to
               set PATH=%PATH%;C:\flex_sdk_4.5.0.19786\bin
     22. open file "Main.as" it's place inside folder src on right panel
          add this code to test your AIR runtime version
          import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;
          trace(NativeApplication.nativeApplication.runtimeVersion);
          Example :
          package
              import flash.display.Sprite;
               * @author Porawee Raksasin
              public class Main extends Sprite
                 import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;
                  trace(NativeApplication.nativeApplication.runtimeVersion);
                  public function Main():void
     23. press F5, then you will see window adl and AIR window on screen as below :
     24. Finally, your output is...
          Done(0)
          [Starting debug session with FDB]
          3.0.0.3880
     Yeah! your app now ready for AIR 3.0.
Hope you enjoy with AIR 3.0
Thanks,
Porawee

Found the solution:
1. Download latest Flex SDK and AirSDK, and extract it into some new folder (in same order: Flex then Air)
2. Add SDK to FlashDevelop (4.0 beta), Tools -> Programm Settings -> AS3Context -> "Installed Flex SDKs" -> Double click on the button with three dots "..." next to the value of this row, choose there your SDK
3. Create new Air 3 project. In Project properties, compiler options, put "-swf-version=13" into "Additional Compiler Options" under "Compiler options" tab
4. In Project settings, choose 3.0 in the Platform section of Output tab
5. edit application.xml:
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.7">
replace with
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.0">
6. empty "bin" folder of the project.
That did help me

I tried to use a manifest file which seems to be how to handle this kind of situation (using ant):
    <arg line="-namespace views ${manifest.file}"/>
    <arg line="-doc-namespaces views"/>
the manifest.xml contain the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<componentPackage>
           <component id="AbcView" class="com.xyz.core.view.components.AbcView" />
</componentPackage>
when I compile asdoc return the following error:
...MainScreen.mxml(52): Error: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: AbcView
Any idea how I can force asdoc to add/recognize AbcView.mxml ? Is my use of manifest file correct in this situation?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards.

Anyone know Flash CS3 embed font's Glyphs Range!! with font class(no TextField )

I have add some font by Font class in the library
(TextFeild.embedFonts=true)
but the font's glyphs looks not enough.
when i use text String " ü ä ö ß π
à â ç è é ê ë î ï
ô ù û œ "
only the "π" and "œ" is can be visible.
Font.hasGlyphs also return false;
if i only create a TextField, and Click the Embed button
selection glyphs range.
the text will be fine.
but i won't use TextField by drag to the stage
i heard in flex:
@font-face {
src:local("Arial");
fontFamily: myFont;
flashType: true;
unicodeRange:
U+0041-U+005A, /* [A..Z] */
U+0061-U+007A, /* a-z */
U+0030-U+0039, /* [0..9] */
U+002E-U+002E; /* [.] */
so what can i do in Flash CS 3?
thanks a lot
i really tried working on this.maybe i just need go back use
the .....TextField.

Im not sure if u can do it with flash cs3.
i change a little ur code to :
package {
//import flash.util.describeType;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.AntiAliasType;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
import flash.text.TextFormatAlign;
import flash.text.Font;
   public class Test extends MovieClip {
      // be sure this is pointing to a ttf font in your hardrive
      [Embed(source="arial.ttf", fontFamily="foo", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")]
      public var arialfont:Class;
      public function Test() {
          Font.registerFont(arialfont)
            var format:TextFormat          = new TextFormat();
          format.font              = "foo";
          format.color                = 0xFFFFFF;
          format.size                 = 130;
          var label:TextField         = new TextField();
          label.embedFonts            = true;
          label.autoSize              = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
          label.antiAliasType         = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
          label.defaultTextFormat     = format;
          label.text                  = "Hello World!";
          addChild(label);
          trace(label.text);
          label.setTextFormat(format);
and it works fine with flash cs4, only first time it will ask to confirm flex sdk location ( have to have flex sdk to use embed, u can downlaod it free from adobe.com)
hope that helps

Issue with min/max when vertical axis assigned to multiple series

Hi.
I have some simple charting code that is dynamically adding LineSeries to a chart as the user requests them from the gui. As each series is added the vertical axis is assigned to the series and then data is requested and assigned to the dataProvider on the series. This is all working fine however I have found that if I add a sceond series after the first series is displayed and assign the same vertical axis to the second series then the vertical axis seems to set teh min/max based only on the second series added and ignores the first series. It doesnt set to the max of both series and so I get an incorrect max set. If I add a 3rd series the same happens again and the first and second series values seem to be ignored and the axis is set based on the last series to be added.
Is this expected? Ive tried different variations of invalidating the data/series/styles to force it to refresh but I always get the same. It does refresh but based on only the values in the last added series.
What is odd is that if I add 2 series at the same time, and assign the axis to both of them and then request data for both and update the dataProvider on both of them the axis is configured correctly based on the max value of both series.
Any workarounds to make it do the right thing if they are added dynamically? Is this a bug or a known "feature"?
Any light anyone can shed would be appreciated.
I need to have the axis assigned to the series directly as I want to be able to use multiple axes. I have found that if I set the verticalaxis on the chart rather than the series then it works fine and sets the min/max based on the combined values of both series.
The vertical axis is just a simple LinearAxis.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Im using Flex 4.1
Tks
Dan

Adobe Flex LiveDocs seemed to indicate "Using multiple series in the same chart works best when the data points are in a similar range (such as a stock price and its moving average). When the data points are in numerically very different ranges, the chart can be difficult to understand because the data is shown on a single axis. The solution to this problem is to use multiple axes, each with its own range. You can plot each data series on its own axis within the same chart using the techniques described in Using multiple axes" and that link is here:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=charts_types_11.html
I was going to tae a look at this myself, but the code posted here is quite complex, and I suspect incomplete.
If you refer to that link and still cannot solve the issue, I would try your best to boil down your code to a more simple example still exhibiting the issue, and then post that, along with any data and the simplified main app.
If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.

Multiple Vertical Axis Renderers and auto scaling

Hi
I have a problem which has been kicking my rear end for a while now.
I have a Linechart to which I add (programmatically in AS code) multiple PlotSeries. I let the first series be handled by the default verticalaxisrenderer (on the left side of the graph) and then the next series (if a different type of data) be rendererd by another verticalAxisrenderer (created programmtically) and added to the right side. And it "works", but the problem is this:
Say I add a series that has a range of 30-80 first. It works fine, BUT when i add a second series with a range of say 1100-1200 the second series is added fine but the first series is 'rescaled' on the axis to go from 30-80 to 0-1200! Which is obviously wrong! I have made other attempts to fix this and it always rescales the axis (sometimes rescaling the data, sometimes not) I have double checked that baseatZero is false and it is--its just the act of adding that second series which causes this redraw and rescale. What am I missing here? Atatched is code snippet and screenshots of behavior.
On Flex 3.5, btw
public function addSeriesToChart(acLocal:ArrayCollection, constellation:String, station:String, param:String):void
            var currentSeries:Array = lcGraph1.series;

Applications Not deleting

I downloaded an application called Plex and then deleted it. Now whenever i restart my computer or log into my account this application always opens first and it is really annoying. Thanks for the help, Is their any way to fully delete this or stop it from starting when I log in.

I don't use Flex, but I have a feeling how you can delete the application.
Go to System Preferences/Users and Group, and click Login Items on the right side of the pane. The pane will advise you that certain items will load automatically when you log in. Select Flex, and choose minus to delete the item from your startup items. The next time you boot, Flex will not appear automatically. You can now do a Spotlight search on Flex to locate and delete any other suspicious items.
Chances are, you're already logged in as an Admin, in which case there's no problem. However, if you're not, you'll have to get the propert login and password to make changes.
Post in this thread if this information was useful, or if you have additional questions!
