Flex 4.1 - creationComplete event is not dispatched in nested Containers

Hi all,
We are migrating our application to use Flex 4.1 from Flex 3.5.
Our application is pretty complicated with tons of custom components. I noticed that when we use nested containers the creationComplete event is not dispatched. I narrowed it down to the following: We have application that has a child component which is an extension of an extension of Panel, that child component has one VBox child. The creationComplete event is not dispatched for that VBox even after I set the creationPolicy to "all" on all Containers.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Lilit

The actual issue ended up being the width of the VBox - it was set to this.width (I did not write the code ) and it got into an infinite loop where the child component (VBox) was trying to set the width to the parent's width and the parent tried adjust its width to the children so it kept growing and growing. Not sure why this works in Flex 3.5 but not in 4.1. Looks like an issue with the Panel.

Some events are not dispatched when app runs in background

My Android app has a TIMER event which fires once every second to connect a TCP socket (class flash.net.Socket) and send a request.
A packet sniffer confirms that a socket is in fact connecting, request is sent, reply comes back and connection is closed, all happening once per second.
Clearly, even with the app in the background, the TIMER event is occurring every second, because the timer handler is initating every socket.
But not every closing connection causes a CLOSE event to dispatch, because my close handler is called less frequently. Sometimes once in 3 seconds, 8 seconds or even longer.
The CLOSE dispatches correctly once per second when the app is in the foreground.
Why are CLOSE events being missed when the app is in the background? What is the difference between a TIMER event and a CLOSE event, causing one to dispatch correctly but not the other?
Thanks.

I've narrowed my problem down by chopping pieces of code until it works, and I think I have it narrowed down to the code that uses FlexGraphing but need to check a bit more...
It's odd that it works in Flex3 builder though, and there are no errors when I run in as AIR. In fact, the app RUNS, since it is in the task manager, but it won't appear.

Flex 4 does not dispatch keyboard events for ENTER key.

Hello everyone. I think I have a strange problem with Flex 4 Beta (4.0.0.8909). My application has had event listener for keyUp event for a month now and suddenly (two days ago) I've noticed that keyUp event is not dispatched for ENTER (ALT also) key. Anyone know why? By the way, I've tried this with keyDown event, also 4.0.0.8847 version of SDK - still the same: no keyboard events for ENTER (and ALT) key.
Here is the sample application that has got this issue:
<s:Application
   xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
   xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo"
   minWidth="640" minHeight="480"
   keyUp="application1_keyUpHandler (event)">
   <fx:Script>
      <![CDATA[
         import mx.controls.Alert;
         protected function application1_keyUpHandler (event: KeyboardEvent):void
            Alert.show ("Key up: " + event.keyCode);
      ]]>
   </fx:Script>
   <s:layout>
      <s:BasicLayout/>
   </s:layout>
   <s:TextArea verticalCenter="0" horizontalCenter="0" width="200"/>
</s:Application>
If you run this application and try typing anything in a TextArea you will get alerts with key codes. However, if you press ENTER (or ALT), you will get no alert.
I'm pretty sure the code above is right so that means there is a bug in latest nightly builds of SDK (i would swhitch to an older build if i knew which one does not have this bug).
Any ideas?

That's true, but in this case, I think the text editing code is eating ENTER key in order to prevent parents from seeing it and acting on it (like a submit button). We'll see if we can find a way around that.
You can get the ENTER key now by listening in capture phase.

The enter key isn't being disposed of by textedit, the attached example code works without error if you a- remove the alert box and b-set the focus to your text area on initialisation. I agree that pressing the enter key then calling a dialog box will result in the enter key being "gobbled up" as the enter key is overridden by the dialog box code.
I think the first suggestion should be to anyone don't use dialogboxes for testing code. If for some reason debugging isn't desirable instead of a trace statement a simple label can be used as a 'fake' trace.

FileRefrence.browse does not dispatch select event in some cases

In my flex web application, filereference.browse sometimes does not dispatch any select event. I am using flex sdk 4.6.

What happens if you put table Table_1 into the Analytic View?
Also go ahead and and update HANA, Rev.60 is very old by now.

If OSMFSettings.enableStageVideo true, then click event from the MediaContainer is not dispatch.

Hi!
I use org.osmf.vast.mediaVAST2TrackingProxyElement from the VASTLibrary for display advertising and use click to handle advertisement redirection.
It's works for flash.media.Video.
But after setting OSMFSettings.enableStageVideo = true, the click event from the MediaContainer is not dispatch.
Can you please help?

Actually, I looked briefly at the dev guide this week end, and Stage Video actually renders from the GPU under the Actionscript App.
It could be something like this:
Stage video is behind the Actionscript objects and one of them is as big or bigger than the video rendering rectangle and it is grabbing mouse interaction.
Just speculating.
Also, I'm not certain StageVideo can recieve mouse events...
Hope this helps.

If the flash object is placed in 0px div, the creationComplete event is fired after a long wait time

<Problem>
My requirement is to hide flash object on browser. However, If the flash object is placed in 0px div, the creationComplete event is fired after a long wait time. Is this a bug of Flex? (or Flash Player?)
<Sample Code>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute"
          initialize="app_initialize(event);" creationComplete="app_creationComplete(event);" >
<mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
        import mx.events.FlexEvent;
    private function app_initialize(evt:mx.events.FlexEvent):void
              ExternalInterface.call("alert", "application initialize.");
    private function app_creationComplete(evt:mx.events.FlexEvent):void
              ExternalInterface.call("alert", "application creation complete.");
    private function button_creationComplete(evt:mx.events.FlexEvent):void
              ExternalInterface.call("alert", "button creation complete.");
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Button id="testButton" label="button" creationComplete="button_creationComplete(event);"/>
</mx:Application>
<Steps to reproduce>
1) Dowload the following samples
MySwf-src.zip
https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/c6b7a191-c6c4-486f-9345-e2b5c21a4c0b
TestSwf.zip
https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/98e613e1-63b1-4b2f-93f3-f6e4f4a27f24
2) Unzip TestSwf.zip.
3) Copy MySwf.swf, TestInvisible.html, and TestVisible.html to "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\". (Need to install the IIS.)
4) Visit "http://localhost/TestVisible.html" via IE. notice the creationComplete event fired after initialize event immediately. -- Correct
5) Visit "http://localhost/TestInvisible.html" via IE. notice the creationComplete event fired a long time after initialize event. -- Incorrect
<Environment>
Win8.1x64+IIS8.5+IE11+Flash player(13.0.0.182)
<Note>
If the flash object is placed in 1px or larger div, the creationComplete event is fired immediately.
The problem occurs with other browsers(IE9,IE10,FF,Chrome) too.

Thank you for your response. The computers are indeed running Flash Pro CC 13.1.0.226. I tried to generate a minidump file on four different computers where Flash Pro hung, but was not able to do so on any of them as Flash Pro makes the entire system unresponsive. I get the spinning circle cursor and then the GUI of all apps greys out and fails to update. I don't actually get any sort of error message; everything simply stops responding.
I was probably unclear above; even if I can alt-tab I can't really interact with any other programs once Flash Pro hangs beyond one or two mouse clicks. So on some computers I could right-click on the process in Process Explorer and choose to create a minidump, which then froze, or I might right-click on the process and have it immediatly freeze. I've experienced about two dozen crashes and I've never been able to really use another program or even kill the Flash process in task manager. I also have to power off the computer by holding down the power button, since while I might be able to open the Start menu I can't reach the point of being able to shut it down without it freezing.
From what I was able to see in Process Explorer, Flash Pro was using <1% CPU and 120M private / 170M working memory.

Perhaps you're not handling the "EndOfStreamEvent" correctly/at all, and thus not freeing up the socket to listen for the "NewReceiveStreamEvent " after the initial stream has ended...

TemporalProxyElement does not dispatch new Duration

Hi
Following my last discussion, where I asked help to add a temporal trait to a ImageElement, and get it by wrapping it to a TemporalProxyElement I discovered that although it works great , but, does not dispatch a change Duration event. I made a custom playlist (not osmf sequence) and have certain issues with it. There is any workaround for this? How can I get that when loading the TemporalProxyElement as MediaPlayer Element it dispatches this event?
Thanks..
Chaim

This is a known issue, related to two separate bugs. The first is that we'd like MediaPlayer to dispatch certain events (such as durationChange) even when the underlying MediaElement simply picks up the trait which holds the event, but currently it only dispatches the MediaPlayerCapabilityChangeEvent. If you were to register for this event (the temporalChange event), then upon receiving this event you could query the duration property and have the right value. But right now you don't get that event either, because TemporalProxyElement doesn't dispatch events at the right time. This is filed as bug FM-126.

Well, I can tell you that this kind of error is not OS related, but rather a HW thing. It happens where there is a general detection of something going wrong. Sometimes it can happen randomly and might not be an indication of a problem. But sometimes it can be caused by things that are improperly functioning within the system like bad capacitors.
Unfortunately I don't really know what to do about such things except give you machine a proper inspection. But if things are working fine, and continue to do so, I wouldn't worry about it. If it becomes a regular occurance, then I'd worry.

CreationComplete event question?

Hi,
I develop a application that have many screen and I develop
each
screen with a flex component (*.mxml page).
I use creationComplete event in one screen but the function
only
execute when I first access the screen. But I need execute
the
function when I access the screen.
For instance.the following Alert screen only work when I
first access the screen,But it doesn't call when I access the
screen second time.
Please give me a idea which event I can use to call the
function so
the function can execute when I access the screen.
Thanks
Mark
ps:code for the screen
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
creationComplete="getnameList()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import com.sb.CEC_Admin.events.GetStafflistEven;
private function getnameList():void{
Alert.show("test");
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Canvas>

Yeah, creationComplete ensures it executes when the component
or app first launches, then show event ensure it executes each
subsequent time it is displayed.

My apologize for my post layout but I definitly can't get my post to look like what I write in the text field. I don't know why it has repeated the last line (maybe because it's some Adobe stuff). It's difficult to be confident in the reliability of Adobe developping tools when a simple web page doesn't work correctly.
Sorry for being nasty but I'm starting to get rid of spending hours on ununderstandable problems.
(To be more nasty, the best this morning : I start a new Flex project in Flash Builder, make a few things, and when I tried to launch it, surprise : "This file cannot be launched" and that's all, no more explanation, imposible to find answer on the web. I finally had to restart the project.)
