Flex app in Firefox

Hi,
I have a flex app which is inside coldfusion wrapper. If I
open it in IE it works fine but if I open it in firefox then it
opens it in center and the width and height are really small and I
get lots of scroll bars. I have width=100% and height = 100% at the
application level. Something else can I change so that it will work
fine in firefox.
Thanks

the problem is probably in your html file not your
application, check your html source to make sure its correctly
formed

  • Flex app can't connect to the internet / server when uploaded?

    I made a simple app that submits a data via POST using the HTTPService. My problem is, when I Run the application from the Flash Builder IDE, and it opens in the browser as a local file, it interacts with my server (remote server) without any problem and does its job well. However, when I upload it to my website, it fails to interact. It displays on the status bar of Firefox that it's connecting to the server that requires interaction but after some time the status reverts to "Done" with my Flex app not showing any Alert boxes if it either succeeded or failed.
    It's really making me frustrated not knowing what's wrong..
    Also if it would be an added help, I decided to use the Flex 3.5 SDK to make it more compatible with commonly installed Flash Players on people's computers since the features that I used doesn't really need those of 4.0.

    Contact the app developer and ask... That's an XML error on the host.

  • Automating a flex app on a headless server

    I have a flex chart drawing application that needs to be automated. When automated it will read in data from the DB, draw the charts, and save them as .png files. This works flawlessly on my localhost version of oc4j on my Mac. However it has never worked on our Solaris oc4j deployment which is a headless server. I've set flex to run as headless in the config files but no dice. How can I get this working? Here are some of the error messages I'm getting:
    LINUX/UNIX browser attempting to launch /opt/sfw/bin/firefox http://flexdomain.yadayadyada

    And here's a snippet from the Java which launches the flex app in the firefox browser:
    String cmd = "/opt/sfw/bin/ff.sh "+ url; // ff.sh is a script which sets DISPLAY and launches firefox with the flex url
    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    Process p = rt.exec(cmd);
    I'm using 10g, by the way.
    Thanks!

    Ok, I'm convinced that this is some sort of configuration problem. I can get the browser to launch when written as a simple java program compiled at the command line:
    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class Launcher {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
    String url = "http://www.ebay.com";
    String[] commands = {"/bin/sh", "-c", "/opt/sfw/bin/firefox ", url, "-width", "1600", "-height", "1200", ":5"};
    ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(commands);
    Map<String, String> env = pb.environment();
    env.put( "DISPLAY", ":5" );
    Iterator it = env.entrySet().iterator();
    while (it.hasNext()) {
    Map.Entry pairs = (Map.Entry)it.next();
    System.out.println("\t>> environ: "+pairs.getKey() + " = " + pairs.getValue());
    Process process = pb.start();
    The output is just to show the environment variables and it looks like this:

  • Debug flex app loaded from remote server

    Hi,
    I'm developing a flex app which gets loaded from a remote
    server and it connects using amf to that server and gets some data.
    Now, I can't test from within the flex builder ide, as the URL will
    be empty. When I test using IE/Firefox pointing to the remote
    server URL where this debug.html is mounted, the swf asks for a
    host ip/name where a flash/flex debugger runs. When I give
    localhost/127.0.0.1, it fails and displays the dialog box again. Is
    there a way to connect the swf from remote server to connect to a
    debug console inside the FB2 ide?

    Well, I ran all commands shipped with FB2and found out that
    fdb does connect and allows to "continue". Still the in IDE
    developing experience and quick turn around isn't there. Is there a
    way to get the URL from which the swf was loaded from within the
    swf, so that if its a remote server, I can get data from it, else
    its in debug state, so I can get data from some hard coded
    host.

  • Running Flex app in Linux

    Hi all,
    I've got a strange problem on Linux (Ubuntu 8 running in
    VMware): I've got a quite complex Flex application running in FP
    10.0.12.36 where (in both Opera and Firefox)
    - the "Settings" link in the FP context menu is greyed out
    - the Settings popup does not appear when the Flex app tries
    to save more data in a SharedObject than currently allowed for this
    domain
    - the Settings popup window does not appear when deliberately
    triggered (via Security.showSettings)
    With another simple Flex test application running in the same
    OS as the same user in the same browsers, all these problems don't
    appear. The only difference which I can see at the moment (apart
    from the complexity of the application which of course shouldn't
    play a role) is that the complex application is compiled from an
    Ant task whereas the simple app is created and compiled inside Flex
    builder.
    I did not deliberately set anything in the Ant task which
    could avoid the "settings" issue to work properly. In the Flex
    compiler options I also can't see anything related to these
    settings.
    Does anyone have had a similar problem? Any clues or
    suggestions?
    btw: here is the Ant task:
    <target name="compile_annex_flex_files"
    depends="checkFlexHome">
    <echo>Compile: start</echo>
    <echo>FLEX_HOME: ${FLEX_HOME}</echo>
    <mxmlc file="${ANNEX_SOURCES_DIR}/AnnexInterface.mxml"
    output="${ANNEX_OUTPUT_DIR}/AnnexInterface.swf"
    locale="en_US" debug="false" use-network="true"
    static-rsls="false">
    <load-config
    filename="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks/flex-config.xml"/>
    <runtime-shared-library-path
    path-element="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks/libs/framework.swc">
    <url
    rsl-url="${SERVER_PATH}/framework_${FLEX_BUILD}.swz"/>
    <url
    rsl-url="${SERVER_PATH}/framework_${FLEX_BUILD}.swf"/>
    </runtime-shared-library-path>
    <compiler.source-path path-element="src"/>
    <compiler.library-path dir="${basedir}" append="true">
    <include name="lib/scrollbar.swc"/>
    </compiler.library-path>
    </mxmlc>
    <echo>Compile: end</echo>
    </target>
    Thanks,

    You must use the 3.4.1 SDK that is provided on LiveCycle DVD or from an installation of Workbench (See the Customizing LiveCycle Workspace ES2 at at  http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/customizeworkspaceui.pdf or the Creating Flex applications enabled for LiveCycle Workspace ES2 guide http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/createflexapps.pdf guide).
    There are functions in the SwfConnector component that allows you to communicate with the IFrame but as far as I know, there are no APIs that are exposed.
    I'll defer to others if they know about it.
    Hope that helps!

  • Flex app doesn't work when moved from original location

    I'm trying to make an image gallery in flex. It works when I run it in Flex Builder perfectly fine. The html and swf files from the bin-debug folder work perfectly fine when opened in any browser also, but ONLY when those files and all related files are opened from the default location that the application was built in. When I export a build to a different folder, the swf loads but none of the information from the xml file displays. I tried setting all of the paths of the reference files (namely the xml) in the flex app to the exact absolute location on the server, and it still didn't work when I uploaded it to the server.
    I've tried several approaches starting from scratch and they have all come up with the same issue. I'm working with an educational license for Flex Builder, I'm not sure if they jip you on those and ruin the compiled swf.
    Please help! I'm losing my mind over this.I think it has to do with something else besides the code since it works fine when I hit "Run", but if anyone thinks it will help to post the code let me know.

    when you build an application using one of the wizards (like coldfusion flex application wizard) it hard codes
    paths to cold fusion CFC's, and sometimes gets it wrong.
    If your application references cfc's (or other remote objects) then it may be necessary to adjust the flex code
    when moving the code into a different base folder.
    For example in my own application, the url is http://localhost/crm_dev_flex and the built application gets put into
    c:\inetpub\wwwroot\crm_dev_flex\bin-debug
    References in the code to components found in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\crm_dev_flex\bin-debug\components\cfgenerated
    (in the flex code these looks like crm_dev_flex.bin-debug.components.cfgenerated.<mycomponent> )
    These need to change when you move the code to somewhere else.
    Also, if you are using wizard generated cfc's then these also contain similar references that need to be changed.
    IHTH.
    Cheers

  • I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build.  The same call works fine when running on the device

    I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
    I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
    The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
    I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
    I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
    By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
    Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
    Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
    Thanks!

    After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
    The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList.  Changing it to List resolved the problem.
    I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid.  And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger.  Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

  • Deployment of Flex app to web and app server

    Hi
    I'm working on putting a Flex front-end on an existing J2EE
    app which gets deployed as an ear file. The architecture consists
    of web server, app server and database server. Is the following
    approach to deployment possible / recommended?
    My Flex app will be deployed to the web server. The J2EE ear
    file will be deployed to the app server (Weblogic). BlazeDS will be
    bundled within the ear file as a war file. Remote Objects will be
    configured in my BlazeDS configuration files to enable me to access
    the code in my J2EE app. In the compiler options of my Flex app,
    I'll be setting the server root folder and server root URL to point
    to the BlazeDS war file on my app server.
    At present I'm at the stage where I can run my Flex app
    directly from Flex builder on my development PC and it's able to
    connect tto the J2EE app, which is running on the app server
    (Weblogic) also on my development PC. I can't find documentation
    explaining how to extend this to work on a multi-tier architecture.
    Thanks

  • I keep getting notices from Firefox (Firefox emblem in the popup) that "Joe Smith has Unfriended" me. I cannot find this app in Firefox to remove it. Mac OS

    Firefox 28.0 Mac OS 10.9.2
    I keep getting small pop-up notices from Firefox (Firefox emblem in the pop-up), telling me that "Joe Smith [insert name of one of my Facebook friends there] has Unfriended you." It only stays on the screen for a few seconds and disappears.
    Oddly, none of these people have actually unfriended me in Facebook. Facebook does not send Unfriend notices. I know there is an app for Firefox that does this, but I cannot find any trace of it in my Firefox Applications list and I do not recall installing it. Nothing with "Facebook" or "Unfriend" in my Firefox app list. (Someone else in the household may have installed it, but they are not talking. ;)
    I searched my hard drive for "unfriend" and "Unfriend" and found nothing.
    At this point, it is an annoyance, but it bothers me that something like this could become malicious.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

    You have an add-on called Lost Friends Notifier. That seems like the likely culprit. Try removing it from the Add-ons Manager, Extensions category.

  • Adobe AIR Needed on Android / iOS to Run Adobe Flex Apps

    Hi all,
    I want to confirm if the user has to install Adobe AIR before launching Adobe Flex apps on Android and iOS Devices. Is there any way that we could embedd Adobe AIR setup in the app file so that the user dont have to hastle in installing Adobe AIR.
    Taimur

    It gives you only three options:
    Signed packages for each target platform.
    Signed AIR package for installation on desktop.
    Intermediate AIRI package that must be signed later.
    For mobile apps, we need to select the first option to get the .apk and .ipa file as the second option would generate .air file. None of the options offer to package AIR runtime. Only the first option gives you the option on NEXT window to include the download link of AIR Runtime.
    If i am wrong, kindly point me to that specific checkbox.
    OR do i have to put Runtime.apk in the assets folder of my source code so that it gets packaged?

  • Flex App with remoting works on local Apache server - fails on production server

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a Flex app that uses Data Services. The application works correctly on my local Mac Server and Apache. When uploaded to my production CentOS server, the Data Services fail. When the app is done loading, the following error message comes up:
    Class "ModelsService" does not exist: Plugin by name 'ModelsService' was not found in the registry; used paths:
    : /www/html/mdubb//PHP2/bin-debug/services/
    #0 /var/www/html/mdubb/ZendFramework/library/Zend/Amf/Server.php(550): Zend_Amf_Server->_dispatch('getAllModels', Array, 'ModelsService')
    #1 /var/www/html/mdubb/ZendFramework/library/Zend/Amf/Server.php(626): Zend_Amf_Server->_handle(Object(Zend_Amf_Request_Http))
    #2 /var/www/html/mdubb/PHP2/bin-debug/gateway.php(73): Zend_Amf_Server->handle()
    #3 {main}
    Where getAllModels is a method of my custom ModelsService.
    I changed the Zend path in the amf_config.ini file so it references the correct directory. If I browse to gateway.php, it prompts to download the file, which I think is correct.
    I added in the config file the path to the services folder.
    I tried adding $server->addClass("ModelServices") in gateway.php, but it didn't like that.
    The file structure on the production server is the same as the local server (I litterally uploaded everything in my local web root), so I can't think of what would be differenet between the two.
    I have already pulled one all nighter trying to get this to run. Do you know what I should troubleshoot next?

  • Loading purchased swf into Flash Builder 4 Flex app

    I have purchased a Flash "fundraising thermometer" from an online Flash components site. It takes input from an xml file and displays a thermometer with the goal at the top and the current amount raised indicated. It came with the following files:
    thermometer.swf
    thermometer01.fla
    thermometer01.html (A sample that works.)
    xml/thermometer.xml (The source file: goal amount, current amount, mark interval, etc.)
    caurina/transitions (Mostly .as files.)
    Since the test html (thermometer01.html) works fine, I thought this would be a no-brainer.
    I first unzipped the files into a "thermometer" folder in my current project. I then went into Flash Builder and created a SWFLoader object as follows:
    <mx:SWFLoader 
    id="myLoader" source="../thermometer/thermometer.swf" complete="initThermometer();" autoLoad="true" scaleContent="false"/>\
     private function initThermometer():void { 
         Alert.show('Thermometer loaded');
    The Design view looks fine. I can see the thermometer default image (see below).
    When I run the app, I get no errors, just a broken image link in a box (see below). The alert box also never shows up.
    I'm new to Flex, so I may be doing something stupid that keeps this from working. I contacted the author of the thermometer widget but he doesn't know anything about Flex.
    Any help figuring out how to get this to work in a flex app would be appreciated.

    You should probably add more event handlers to see what's going on.  Especially "ioError". The complete list is below.  For coverage, add a handler for each event. You can also use in MXML
         complete="initThermometer(event)
    and add an argument to your Actionscript method, to find out details about the event.
    private function initThermometer(event:Event):void { 
         Alert.show('Thermometer loaded ' + event.type);}
    Events
        complete="No default"
        httpStatus="No default"
        init="No default"
        ioError="No default"
        open="No default"
        progress="No default"
        securityError="No default"
        unload="No default
    General info here:
         http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/SWFLoader.html
    I did not test my code suggestions, but it's probably close.
