Flex based app to html

I have a current Flex based application and my boss want it to transfer to html/css based.
Is it possible to do that easily? I mean if there is a plug-in or tool can do this conversion quicker. Already google but could not find one.
What do you think the level of effort estimate to make this conversion?
I don't know how to report to my boss...if it can only be converted manually and it is huge...
Thanks

If the app is huge and your boss wants HTML/CSS, better suggest he gets his story straight with the accountant as to why he is spending all that money degrading a perfectly good application.
There are no automated tools, just hard work ahead. Think of the overtime.

Convert HTML/javascript AIR app to flex-based AIR app?

Hi all,
I've already built an AIR app using HTML/javascript that I
would like to monetize.
I would like to use O2app's E-Commerce framework, which right
now only supports Flex-created AIR apps.
My question: Is there a simple way to "convert" an
HTML/javascript AIR app to Flex 3 format? I'd rather not have to
rebuild the app from scratch in Flex 3 if I don't have to. :)
Thanks,
Al

Hi,
There's no simple way to convert an HTML AIR app to flex.
But it is possible to create HTML Root windows from a Flex
AIR App. By root window, I mean the same kind of window that is
launched when you launch an HTML AIR App.
For more info, look at the HTMLLoader.createRootWindow()
call. (This will be available from a Flex AIR app as well)

Flex Based AIR application & remote HTML

The question is ....from a flex based AIR application do you
always have full access to all of the HTML content loaded from a
remote site via the DOM (htmlLoader.window.document), or is the
'context' of what you can see limited to what the initial url
requested can see - i.e. the context is as if it were javascript
running in the page corresponding to the initial URL.
As far as i can see if i request say the page
http://www.abc.com/page1.htm
and it has content along the lines of
<IFRAME src="
http://www.xyz.com/page3.htm"
id="remoteframe" />
<IFRAME src="
http://www.abs.com/page2.htm"
id="localframe" /?
then using the htmlControl.htmlLoader.window.document i can
successfully navigate the DOM for the initial page loaded and
localframe, but
not remoteframe.
I've seen various comments about sandboxes, bridges and
applicationdomains in the documentation but i don't see how this
can help me.
Can someone please shed some light on this? Can i from the
AIR application access all of the DOM, or am i restricted to the
initially loaded page and pages referenced from the same domain in
the page?
Thanks
Jamie

Hi,
From your AIR application, you can only access "exposed
properties" in remoteframe.
You expose a property by using the sandbox bridge mechanism:

Connection SQLite with Flex Web Based App??

Hi! I have a problem, I create a Flex Web Based App in Flash Builder 4 and I need connect that app with my SQLite database... but I can't found the method that permit me create that connection.
My question is... exist some method or some kind of code with I can do the connection?
Can someone help me, please?

SQLLite is only available in AIR apps.
The preferred method for a web-app is to use some kind service architecture to expose your data. I wouldn't be able to offer any specific advise without knowing more about your deployment environment.

Flash performance inside mx:HTML in a Flex AIR app

Hi. I'm new to AIR development and after doing some basic tutorials I thought I'd make a little stream player app.
The amount of tutorials on the web made me choose Flex / Flash Builder over HTML & JavaScript. When I built the player in Flex I saw performance was terrible when out of focus, I would say it drops to 3 fps if not less. Surprisingly when I downloaded someone else's similar app, his didn't have that problem. On closer inspection - he made it in HTML & JavaScript and HTML AIR apps dont suffer from the same problem.
Is there a fix for this Flex performance problem?
I've made a video demonstrating the difference between Flex & HTML for your convenience: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OU2mfELhSC4.

Sure.
1.
Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit, build 7600.
Adobe AIR 2.0.3.13070.
Unfortunately I only have machines with the exact same OS install at my disposal right now but I'll ask some people to test it on their boxes.
2. http://pastebin.com/AsdmD3Yb
When I point the mx:HTML to a youtube url instead of ustream.html the fps drops around to around 5 to 10. That's a lot more fps than when using ustream. Might be a clue to whats happening.

Wanting to Embed gothicCentury into our Flex based web app

First, please excuse my ignorance as I don't have a lot of expereience with Emedding fonts into a web application.
I am looking to embed a Gothic Century font into our Flex based application that will be used by our customers via web. We also my possible use it as a Air application.
If I want to do this, how do I go about it in the flex world. The font is available in our Designer's tools but we need to be able to have it accessiable in Flex legally.
Any guidance here would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions

Thank you for the quick response.
It is understood that SWF and its content is intended to be rendered client-side. However, we were wondering if anyone has had any success with wrapping flash-player (such as Adobe AIR) around a SWF in such a way that the player could be called by a script server-side to generate graphs/images, which are then saved to disk and returned via a regular web service.
I gave embedding the image on the HTML page, but the specific use we are most interested in is embedding the static thematic map into a report in the Word document format. Since much of our content can already be accessed interactively using a browser and a flash-plugin, we are investigating methods of leveraging our SWFs to generate images server-side for the purposes of automated report generation.

Example working Flex AIR app for Android?

I'm having trouble getting even the most basic AIR app working on Android. Here is the code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" xmlns:local="*"

     <fx:Declarations>
         
     </fx:Declarations>
     <mx:Label text="Hello World"/>
</s:WindowedApplication>
It works fine running on Windows in Flash Builder, obviously it's pretty simple. Here are the commands I use to put it on a Samsung Galaxy Tab with Android 2.2.

A Test2 app icon shows up on my Galaxy Tab under Applications but when I run the app I just see a plain white screen, I don't see the words "Hello World". Any ideas? Does anyone have an example Flex AIR app that works on Android and can post the code so I can try it on my Galaxy Tab? I know AIR is installed correctly on my Galaxy because I installed an AIR app called South Park Avatar Creator that I got from the market and it works fine.
Thanks,
Ryan
P.S. Here is the Test2-app.xml from my non-working project above in case it helps. This is the default generated with a new Flex app in Flash Builder 4 using the Flex 4.1.0 AIR 2.5 SDK but I uncommented the andoid tags and set the visible tag to true.

Using UIScrollView in a window-based app - IS IT POSSIBLE?

sorry for noob question but i am very new and only 12 years old so i am very new. I am making an app that involves scrollviews but i want to use window based app so i can use the window setHidden piece of code instead of messing around with view controllers.
My Question:
How can I implement a scroll view into the app delegate .m since there is obviously no ViewDidLoad feature. Do I just make the IBOutlet in the .H file but what to do in the .M file to get the "scrollview ScrollEnable:YES" and the CGSize parameters in without causing a massive error?

I don't know why you'd want to hide your main window, but in any case, a view controller wouldn't prevent you from doing that. View controllers do all kinds of good things behind the scenes and catch lots of useful messages, which is why they're almost always recommended for any full-screen view--even in the simplest possible project (see [Overview|http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference /UIViewControllerClass/Reference/Reference.html%23//appleref/occ/cl/UIViewController] in the UIViewController Class Reference). That said, making iOS apps without any view controllers will be an excellent way for you to learn what they do for you, so onward and upward!

Yes, assuming a UIScrollView object has been added to MainWindow.xib, make an IBOutlet ivar and @property for your scroll view in the @interface (MyAppDelegate.h) of your app delegate, and connect that outlet to the scroll view in IB. Then add the scroll view to the window and set its properties in the [applicationDidFinishLaunching:|http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documen tation/UIKit/Reference/UIApplicationDelegateProtocol/Reference/Reference.html%23//appleref/doc/uid/TP40006786] method of the @implementation (MyAppDelegate.m). Don't forget to set the [contentSize|http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Refere nce/UIScrollViewClass/Reference/UIScrollView.html%23//appleref/doc/uid/TP40006922] property of the scroll view to the size of the view it will scroll. The view won't scroll unless contentSize is higher and/or wider than the scroll view frame.
... there is obviously no ViewDidLoad feature. ...
There's no reason your app delegate class needs to be a direct subclass of NSObject. It can just as easily be a subclass of UIViewController. In that case you could override viewDidLoad, or any of the other useful view controller methods in the app delegate @implementation. Just change the superclass from NSObject to UIViewController in the first line of the @interface, and connect the 'view' outlet of the app delegate to the scroll view object in IB.

Internet-based apps won't refresh, but mail aand safari are fine

Okay, so here's the situation. Internet-based apps, such as Facebook give me error messages saying that items like walls and info don't load, and then the apps crash, or only display older content. My mail works fine. Safari is always slow, and I have done everything from resetting the phone to putting it into DFU mode then hitting restore, and it doesn't solve the problems. Get this, I'm currently on my IPod Touch 64 gb 4th generation which works excellent. I'm on the web using my IPhone 4's Personal Hot Spot connection, and yet the IPod Touch browser is faster.

How to create date in flex based on different timezone?

Hi,
I am getting time from J2EE layer to flex as "Fri Sep 28 05:16:37 EDT 2012". This J2ee layer is deployed on Websphere Application Server 5.1 on Unix. But when I instantiate in new Date() in ActionScript 3.0, its throwing me invalid date error.
So I corrected it as "Fri Sep 28 05:16:37 GMT -0400 2012" (a format flex excepts) and instantiated with new Date(), when I try to print the date value using toString() method, results I get is in IST (where I am running flex web app), so this is completly invalid. How can I preserve timezone in flex?

I Need a Pageflip Book for Flash AS3 Website (non-flex based)?

Hello,
I am rebuilding my website from a simple html based website to a Flash AS3 website. The problem I've run into is that I can not get my flex based flipbook onto my Flash AS3 website.
Apparently AS3 is not flex base compatible. Does anyone know a pageflip book program I can use in Flash AS3? Oh, one more thing. I do not know computer code. I need something like Bannerzest. Thank you.

for example , I have a book ..
which has these chapters....
Introducing Adobe Flex 2
Working with MXML in Adobe Flex 2
Working with ActionScript in Adobe Flex 2
Nowhere , in this book ...integration with J2EE application has been described .
can we really use it for J2EE application ? or I am chasing in wrong direction ?

Cannot use Safari or any net based apps. Keep getting "server not responding" any ideas?

when trying to use Safari, or any internet based Apps (ie:facebook,youtube) my daughters Ipad gives me a few min wait, then says " unable to connect, server not responding" . At first I thought it was my Wifi.. nope.. everything else in the house connects just fine. Then I thought that maaaybe I needed to re-login onto my wifi from the Ipad... nope.
Any ideas??
Thank you
I am asking about an original Ipad... idk whyit says Ipad2

Even though other devices are connected to wifi, it still could be that you are not connected. Is the wifi icon at the top of the display illuminated.

FDS and Tomcat : Flex Sample App - Contact Manager

http://localhost:8080/samples/dataservice/contact/contactmgr.mxml
When loading, I see the contact list load with Randy Carter
as the default.
1. Click on New
2. Fill in my First and Last Name
I get the following error messages:
Error
Unable to access UserTransaction in DataService.
I followed these directions for Tomcat for installing JOTM
and editing the conf/server.xml for Tomcat
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex:Install_Instructions
Please advise on how I can get this sample app to be able to
add new Contact details.

If you're getting the error message - "Unable to access
UserTransaction in DataService", then your transaction services is
not set up correctly. There is not enough detail in your message to
diagnosis what the issue is but this is what I would recommend and
the configuration that works for me.
(a) During development, get in the habit of running the
server in debug mode and check for errors in the server console and
logs frequently, especially when you encounter errors on the
client.
For FDS, you'll want to set debug level logging in
enterprise-services.xml. Restart the server after making changes.
(b) Double-check that JOTM is configured correctly.
These are the steps I used to get Flex running with Tomcat
5.5.17 and JOTM 2.0.10 - the latest versions.
With Tomcat, there are several different ways of configuring
the server so this is not the only way of doing things. The
directions under 'Configuring Tomcat' seems to have the most
details for all versions of Tomcat -
http://static.raibledesigns.com/downloads/howto-tomcat-jotm.html
i. drop the JOTM jars into <tomcat>/common/lib
ii. add the following line to my application configuration
file <tomcat>/conf/Catalina/localhost/samples.xml
<Context
docBase="c:/dev/flex/enterprise/apps/j2ee/samples"
privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false"
antiJARLocking="false">
<Transaction
factory="org.objectweb.jotm.UserTransactionFactory"
jotm.timeout="60"/>
</Context>
iii. restart the server for good measure, check the logs
localhost-xxxx.log and catalina-xxx.log to be sure that everything
started correctly.
(c) Verify that transactions are working correctly with this
test JSP page. Just drop the jsp page into your web application and
access from the browser. If you see an exception, go back to the
JOTM setup. If you see, 'success'. Then proceed with the contact
manager example.
<%@ page import="javax.naming.*,javax.transaction.*" %>
<%
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
UserTransaction tx =
(UserTransaction)ctx.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction");
tx.begin();
tx.commit();
%>
success!
(d) Run the contact manager sample and try to update a
contact. If you see "Unable to access UserTransaction in
DataService", then check the server console and server logs for
errors and/or exceptions.

Flex-based podcast player sample

I'm looking for sample code for working with sound in Flex 3.
The Podcast Player example referred to in the docs and downloadable
as the zip Programming_ActionScript3.0_samples.zip seems to be
geared to flash and doesn't include the .mxml files and possibly
other necessary files. Is there a complete Flex-based version of
this sample available?
Any pointers to other Flex sound coding samples would be
great as well.

Hi- In my AIR-in-FlexBuilder beta demo I write a little music
player from scratch. My voiceover cuts out midway through but you
can see how I write the code, including how to use Sound and
SoundChannel. This is all applicable to web-based Flex apps as
well, except for the local filesystem part.

Does that help?
