Flex 4.5 "Hero" documentation

does anyone know where i can find AsDocs for "hero". do i have to look through the code to find out the new components, their properties etc.

Hi Nayan,
You can get this from http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flex_preview_release/Flex_4.5_en-us.zip
This is the ZIP file used by the CHC when you download a local copy of the Reference. I didn't try it in the file system, but if you extract this ZIP file under your local web server, the local search works, just as it does in the CHC.
Hope this help,

Request for Flex 4.5 (Hero) info

Hey there -
So... what's up with Flex 4.5? I only saw references to it in the bug database and somehow came across this link:
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+Hero
Even google seems to be failing me... So here are my questions:
Is there a public site identifying the goals/features/changes for this milestone?
Is there a target date for its release?
Do the 4.5 nightly builds have much/any/important content that can't be found in 4.1?
Thanks.

hi,
Flex hero is the next version of the flex SDK, and Burrito is the next full release version of Flashbuilder. Although you can get builds of 4.5 it is likely to cause issues with the current flashbuilder as it progresses in its development(similar to problems that occurred when using flex builder 3 and the flex 4.0 sdk). Whilst flashbuilder 4 and flex 4.1 sdk is still in active development I doubt that there will be much detailed information available on 'future' products.
This is an interview with Andrew Shorten (Flashbuilder Production Manager) he breifly mentions the path of flashbuilder and flex.

Spark TextArea remove border (borderVisible) in Flex 4.5 Hero

When dealing with the TextArea for Mobile development in Flex Hero 4.5 I cannot find a way to remove the border.
<s:TextArea id="lblPOC" left="10" right="10" top="10" bottom="10"
borderColor="#FFFFFF" borderVisible="false" color="#000000"

setStyle is not working on spark components I have come to find out.
Even to get htmlTexh I had to:

Looks like you were using the preview release of Flex 4.5. Setting borderVisible to false works for me in the 4.5 release build:
<s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark">
    <s:TextArea left="10" right="10" top="10" bottom="10" borderVisible="false" />

The height changes because the stage size changes when the device is reoriented. What are you trying to accomplish? If you want to turn off auto orientation, you can set the autoOrients flag to flase in your application.xml.

Flex 3.5 downloadable documentation

Hello Adobe,
where could I download the 3.5 language reference as a zip file please?
Thanks
Tom

Okay, thanks.. I guess it would eliminate quite some concern with many users if somebody changed the 4 into a 5 in the docs download zip.
There might be more developers like me with a Java background -- and we are used to having access to libraries and documentation accurate to third-level version numbers, so if Adobe expects developers not to worry too much if it still says 3.4 but is actually 3.5, and given the far from bug free SDK, then you might not know your users too well.
I could imagine that updating the docs would be worth its time.

Tree component in Flex 4

Are there any known issues with the <mx:Tree component in Flex 4?
We have upgraded from Flex 3 builder to Flex 4 builder. Everything works except any where we have used a tree component the data is no longer showing. Has there been a change in how to populate the Tree component? We populate the tree by setting the dataProvider with an ArrayCollection.

@travr,
I'm not aware of any big known issues in mx:Tree between Flex 3.x and Flex 4.x. What problems are you seeing, and can you reproduce the issue with a simple test case (if so, please post the simple test case here and we can take a look).
This works in Flex 3.5:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
    <mx:ApplicationControlBar dock="true">
        <mx:Button id="sdkVer" initialize="sdkVer.label = mx_internal::VERSION;" click="System.setClipboard(sdkVer.label);" />
    </mx:ApplicationControlBar>
    <mx:Tree id="tr" labelField="name" width="200" x="20" y="20">
        <mx:dataProvider>
            <mx:ArrayCollection>
                <mx:Object name="1. One">
                    <mx:children>
                        <mx:Object name="1.1 One" />
                        <mx:Object name="1.2 Two" />
                    </mx:children>
                </mx:Object>
                <mx:Object name="2. Two">
                    <mx:children>
                        <mx:Object name="2.1 One" />
                    </mx:children>
                </mx:Object>
            </mx:ArrayCollection>
        </mx:dataProvider>
    </mx:Tree>
</mx:Application>

Compiling with Flex 4.0 gives flash.desktop.NativeProcess could not be found

Hello!
I have an ActionScript only Flex project that was written by someone else.
I know it was compiled successfully for Air 2.0
I can compile this project using Flex Hero and with <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.6"> - however, my air file will install only on windows (on mac i get a weird 'installation file is corrupt, contact the author' error message).
So now I want to compile it for Air 2.0 as it was originally written for. So i change the used Flex SDK from Hero to 4.0 and change the target air version to <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.0"> - but then i get three compilation errors:
Description Resource Path Location Type
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method openWithDefaultApplication through a reference with static type flash.filesystem:File.
Description Resource Path Location Type
1172: Definition flash.desktop:NativeProcess could not be found.
Description Resource Path Location Type
1172: Definition flash.desktop:NativeProcessStartupInfo could not be found.
but I read that these features were introduced with AIR 2.0 - so how can't I compile if I change the SDK from Flex Hero to Flex 4.0?

Figured it out... Make sure your descriptor file has the following namespace definition!!

Advice on Learning how to use Flex Data Services

Hi. I've been using flex for a while and I'm now at the stage
where I'd like to be able to develop AIR apps. I wanted to do
something simple to start with...eg. have an AIR app on a few
friends desktops that lets users tick a box if they can make it to
a poker game. Do I need to learn another language like PHP to do
this or can it be done using just Flex? Other than the live docs
and dev guide that come with flex are there other
documentation/online info that can be recommended.
Thanks!

the LCDS sql assembler might be a good fit for you. it allows
you to do sql crud from flex. there's not server side coding, just
xml config.

HTTPService problem (ioerror #2032) in flex AIR application

Hi all,
I am using flex 4.5 Hero Sdk. Flex Builder plugin. Win7x64. Adobe Air 2.5.
I have a flex air project which contains 3 library projects included.
The project uses one of the included libraries for managing HttpService calls to a Tomcat server.
When I use "merge into code" option for building all projects there is no problem. I can both run in Adl and installed application (exe). HttpService calls works fine in both Adl and Air 2.5 runtime.
When I use Rsl option for building all projects I can run-debug in Adl However when I run the installed version (I mean this time running the application not with adl, but with Flex Air 2.5.x version installed in win7x64) this time HttpService calls to the server gives ioerror (Error#2032).
Some information I discovered (may not be related to the problem I stated above)
When using rsl option, "use local RSLs when debugging" option makes the difference. If this option is false, Adl cannot run the application.
I tried -use-network=true compiler option, but not sure if I did everything right while trying.
Shortly I think I need some knowledge for working with RSLs. So, can anybody help me?

Take a look at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3345972#3345972

How can I seperate different contaioners in Differnt Files

Hi, Frens,
My Requirement is the I want to seperate the containes in
different files.
Later when i need , i can make visible to that container, and
invisible to others. Like My Application has 4 components, then all
4 containers are in different files, Later when some action is
done, i need to make one as visible and another one is invisible.
How can i mangae this functionality.

Oh I see. You want to look into the mx.modules package as
well as RSLs. The Flex docs team published a newer version of the
modules doc here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/flexdoc/2007/01/modules_documentation_update.html
Not sure if it's made it in to the official docs or not. And
you can read about RSLs in the Flex/AS/Flash Player documentation.
But let me pass on some advice that I've learned to respect:
Don't do performance tuning until you know where the pinch points
are. Developing with modules (or RSLs) can improve your application
startup time, but there are tradeoffs, not the least of which is
that you have additional code complexity. You're also making a
decision that gets progressively harder to un-make as you go along.
So unless you already have a real problem with SWF download time,
I'd suggest you hold off on refactoring your app into modules/RSLs
until you know you have a problem that doing so will solve.
Anyway, just my $0.02

Clarification on services-config.xml files for RemoteObject services

I am currently preparing an AMFPHP environment for exchanging
data with Flex and AIR applications. I can connect to the services
via Netconnection, but using RemoteObject won't work.
Documentation for the necessary configuration files
(services-config.xml, remoting-config.xml and the like) is, um,
sparse and seems to be slightly incorrect or misleading at times.
So I'm looking for clarification about
changes in the syntax of services-config.xml · in
examples for Flex 2.01, there are "class" attributes with values
beginning with "flex.", in Flex 3 examples the attribute name has
changed to "type", values beginning with "flex." have mostly
vanished and been replaced with similar looking values beginning
with "mx.". Are "flex." and "mx." prefixes interchangable?
correct syntax for linking other files into
services-config.xml · the livedocs state that Adobe
prefers linking files into services-config.xml (using something
like <service-include file-path="remoting-config.xml"/>)
instead of defining all service parameters there. But in the
example from the Flex 2.01 livedocs, the root element of the
service-config.xml file is <services> instead of
<services-config>. Assuming that <services> is meant as
a
child of the <services-config> root element, there
seems to be a mandatory <service> child element missing.
That's either intended, illogical, and misleading, or simply
erroneous.
which classes are still valid in Flex 3, which have changed?
· Most of the examples for using RemoteObjects out there are
for FlexBuilder 2 (e.g.
here)
and don't seem to work with FlexBuilder 3 Beta 2. But there is no
statement to be found in the Flex 3 documentation about what has
changed.
a meaningful example for services-config.xml · In the
Flex 3 Beta 2 documentation here are plenty of references to using
services-config.xml, as I can find even information about the
ServerConfig class in the ActionScript 3 Language Reference, a sort
of wrapper class for the information provided in
service-config.xml, but there is no information about what
constitutes a
working service-config.xml configuration (which XML tags of
what names containing what attributes need to be present).
As I'd really like to create cutting-edge Flex and AIR OCC
applications, I'm eager to have those ambiguities clarified.
Best regards,
Cathness

From the docs it looks like this is used for web services as
well:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/dataservices_config_100_3.html#260186
If this isn't the right config file, which file should I be
looking at?

Draft Proposal: How to drop the Fx Prefix

A draft proposal has been posted to the Flex Open Source Wiki documenting how we will adjust the packages, namespaces, and class names in Gumbo to allow us to drop the Fx class prefixes. Please read and add your comments here:
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Dropping+the+Fx+Prefix
Note that this page does not cover the necessary changes to CSS, which are documented on the forums at
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b802c9
Looking forward to your comments and suggestions,

Hi Uri..
Yes, thats what i have read but i still have ten temp tables with same prefix and different session code at the end . I am sure there are no open/active sessions tied to them .want to know if there is a bug with SQL server 2005 SP2 version ?
I am executing the stored proc using SQL Agent job so when it fails does it end the session ? if not how do i do it ?
if i add the below query to the proc does it drop rest of the old temp tables ?
IF EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM sys.tables
WHERE name LIKE '#temp%')
DROP TABLE #temp

Spark List rowCount property

Hello,
how you can set the rowCount visible on a Spark list, <mx:List> had rowCount property for the limit the displayed items. <s:List> doesn't.
<s:List id="list" width="100%">
<s:layout>
<s:VerticalLayout requestedRowCount="3" gap="0" horizontalAlign="contentJustify" />
</s:layout>
</s:List>
"layout" doesn't work properly in flex 4.5 hero mobile
thanks.

I believe requestedRowCount should do what you are looking for.
This sample application seems to work fine for me in Flex 4.5:

        <s:layout>
            <s:VerticalLayout requestedRowCount="3" gap="0" horizontalAlign="contentJustify" />
        </s:layout>
        <s:dataProvider>
            <s:ArrayList>
                <fx:String>0</fx:String>
