Flex control inside flash Sprite control

Hi,
in my project,i have a requirement to add flex control e.g. TextArea to flash Sprite control. is this possible?
regards,
Rakesh

yes you can add TextArea to Sprite
set the x,y, width and height of the TextArea object and added to Sprite using
spriteObj.addChild(textareaObj);
If this post answers your question or helps. Please mark it as such

Flex mobile 4.6 app works inside flash builder but not in android emulator

Originally posted on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8663892/flex-mobile-4-6-app-works-inside-flash-builder- but-not-in-android-emulator
I have a basic flex mobile 4.6 app and it works fully fine in the flash builder built-in emulator using an android device profile like aria...
It also launches fine in the android emulator but one particular view shows blank (and this view works fine in flash builder).
Before I get in to many details of the view are there any categorical gotchas that can be causing this?
I can't seem to get the trace statements from the app to show in 'adb logcat'. It seems I need to compile a debug version of the apk but I don't know how to do this. I use the 'Export Release Build' from the Project menu in flash builder and it doesn't seem to have an option for debug=true.
The problematic/blank view basically uses the stagewebview and iotashan's oauth library to call linkedin rest apis... A different (and working) view can make restful web service calls in the emulator fine, so it doesn't seem to be an internet permission.
The source code contained in the problematic/blank view is almost identical to the tutorial found at:http://www.riagora.com/2011/01/air-and-linkedin/
The differences are: a) The root tag is a View b) I use StageWebView instead of HtmlContainer c) I use my own linkedin key and tokens.
I would appreciate it if someone can provide me with some pointers on how to troubleshoot this situation. Perhaps someone can tell me how to debug the app while running in the emulator (I think I need the correct adt command arguments for this which matches the 'Export Release Build' menu but adds the debug param?)
Thanks for your help in advance.
Comment Added:
I suspect that this has to do with connections to https:// api.linkedin.com and https:// www.linkedin.com. The only reason I can think of that the same code is not having issues inside of Flex Builder but indeed having issues in the Android emulator is something to do with certificates. Any ideas?

Thanks er453r,
I have created a project that clearly reproduces the bug. Here are the steps:
1) Create a UrlLoader and point it to https://www.google.com (HTTPS is important because http works but HTTPS does not)
2) Load it
3) Run in Flash Builder 4.6/Air 3.1 and then run in Android emulator. The former works with an http status 200. The latter gives you an ioerror 2032. I am assuming what works in Flash Builder is supposed to work in the Android Emulator and what what works in the emulator is supposed to work in a physical device (plus or minus boundary conditions).
I see a certificate exception in adb logcat but not sure if it's related...
Here is the self contained View code which works with a TabbedViewNavigatorApplication:

Reg: VC Flex Controls Styling using Portal theme.

Hi,
We have branded the VC flex controls in Portal themes. I have enabled style option in VC.
Some Flex UI elements are not getting rendered in VC application because of style option being enabled in VC. The default option loads the VC application properly. Only when style option is enabled in Toos->options->compiler there is a problem
Below are the versions:
SAP Enteprise Portal 7 SP15
SAP Visual Composer 7.1 SP17
is it becuase of mismatch in the versions ? has anybody faced similar kind of problem ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Aditya Metukul

This refers to a style in frameworks/projects/framework/defaults.css or, the framework itself. So, it seems as if the Flex framework default style assumes we are using the Spark theme. I'd like to use the Spark theme, but I still have many Halo components to convert.
It seems like the only way to avoid this situation is to re-compile the framework SWC. Is that the case?

Call Flex swf inside extension object

Hi,
I am building a user application using Flex 3. The application allows user to input information using input components such as text areas, etc. The application will create an xml file from user info. The application needs to save xml file in user's local hard drive. For user convenience, we want to be able to call the application from inside a DW menu. This requires an extension which implies installing an mxp. To avoid multiple installs, we want to deliver the application inside the extension. This involves creating an extension object that has my Flex app embedded in it. I have been able to create the extension object, have it show up in my insert bar, and deliver my Flex swf inside the extension. However, when I type inside a text area in my swf, I am not able to. It acts as if disabled. I explicitly set my text area as editable=true and enabled=true. Why? Here is my extension:
<html>
<head>
<title>WBT Ouline Tool</title>
<style>
body { margin: 0px; overflow:hidden }
</style>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function createTextFile(textItem) {
//future code to create xml file will go here.
//it will use DW FILE I/O APIs
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
   <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

Do you know where I can find examples on how to use dreamweaver.flash.newControl()?
I am still having no luck. My control shows up but can not interact with it and external interface not available.

Flash sprite has to be visible (from YOU !) in authoring mode to work !

If this can help (and if you can confirm !).
I already went through the trouble that you can't put a Flash
sprite off
stage otherwise you loose control over it (you have to keep
one pixel on
stage), but this is more tricky :
I suddenly had my Flash sprites working only in projector
mode and I
discovered that lower right corner of the stage was not
visible (stage
window was resized), which is where I hide my Flash sprites.
As soon as
I could see the corner, problem was gone in authoring mode !

Why not make your FlashSprite invisible?
Or change it's z-index and put it behind everything
else?

How to use Flex Components with Flash?

Hi!!
I found a lot of very useful components in the web, but they are all for Flex, is it possible to use Flex Components with Flash IDE?
Thanks !!!
jenry
PS: this is one of the components I need to use (a tree with checkbox nodes)
http://www.sephiroth.it/file_detail.php?pageNum_comments=30&id=151
another one:
http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/2006/09/a-flex-2-checked-tree-control-component.cfm

Flex components are delivered as SWCs just like Flash components, but the
SWC format is incompatible with the Flash IDE.
Also, the default fl.. components in the Flash IDE are incompatible with
Flex components.
You should be able to load a Flex SWF into a Flash SWF as long as you aren't
using fl.. components in the Flash SWF. If the Flex SWF overlays things
in your Flash SWF then it might block interaction, but otherwise it
shouldn't. I don't think the statement you quoted is true for all
configurations.
But loading a Flex SWF into a Flash SWF isn't going to help you use those
Flex components from your Flash IDE. Try Flash Builder 4 to build out the
Flex portion of your application. I haven't tried it myself, but it I think
it is supposed to have better integration with Flash.

Using a swf generated by Flex from a Flash component

I know you can include and control a swf generated by Flash
within a Flex component. But can you do the inverse? Can you use a
swf generated by Flex within a Flash project/component?
We plan to develop a "core" module that would be used in a
lot of other Flash and Flex components we'll develop in the future.
This core would be a package of classes that could be easily
re-used by the components. There would be nothing visual in it,
only standard classes.
Even if this core would not contain any visual components, we
would like to develop it using Flex since we prefere Flex Builder
to the Flash editor to code and debug.
But I'm not sure if:
1) A core module like this, developped in Flex, could be used
by our Flash components or only by other Flex components?
2) If we use Flex to generated this core, will the resulting
.swf be bigger than if we would have used Flash to develop it?
Since there will be no Flex visual components in it, maybe it will
be as small? Is there a compiler parameter to tell Flex to only
include the minimum things possible in the generated .swf?
Any help or link about this would be really appreciated!
Thanks you in advance!
P.S. I apologize to those aware that this message was also
posted on another Flex related forum, but I received no reply on
it!

try this. for me it has worked.
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.utils.Timer;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var timer:Timer;
var myclip:MovieClip;
//load the Flex Component
loader.load(new URLRequest("IS.swf"));
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
loaderDone);
addChild(loader);
function loaderDone(e:Event) {
timer = new Timer(100);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, handleTimer)
timer.start();
function handleTimer(event:TimerEvent):void {
//cast the loader.content into MovieClip to access
currentFrame.
myclip = loader.content as MovieClip;
if (myclip.currentFrame == 2)
however, i need to access properties of IS.mxml..
any data member would work..
or if i could dispatch an event in IS.mxml and catch it in
flash through IS.swf, it would work.
Pls somebody suggest.

Flash sprites user response

When integrating Flash with Director - I have always in the
past done the
following:
on (rollOver) {
getURL ("lingo:cursor 280");
on (rollOut) {
getURL ("lingo:cursor 0");
on (release) {
getURL("event: gotoQ3PDF");
I have always done the above as flash objects do not respond
to mouse
events - on rollOver and rollOut the basic, single lingo
command to change
the cursor, then on release I am executing an event (to
perform multiple
lingo commands) restoring cursor, goto frame/marker, etc...
Has anything changed recently where you can do anytype of
"global"
command/script the does this across the board or does it
still have to be
hand-coded for each button in flash?? Our London office is
doing some
elements for us (in the US) for a CD project where there is a
number of
buttons in multiple flash movies....
Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks Rob --
Dir MX2004 (w/flash 8 asset/xtra update) - Flash 8
Excellent! Yes -multiple buttons (menu's) within individuals
swf's
Much better approach - as I am currently manually scripting
individual
events for each button - on(release)...
Appreciate it!

Flash sprite in Director: slow, slow!

It's not a new problem but maybe there's a new solution?...
I have a Flash game in a Director projector. The Flash games
works fine by itself (not embedded in Director), but inside
Director, everything runs much slower. Is there any ways to speed
things up?
Thanks
Serge

Yea Flash tends to run a bit slower in director, be sure the
default
direct to stage flash member property is set.
Mx 2004 has an updated flash xtra that runs a little more
effeciently,
with an option to run multiple flash sprites in the same
memory space.
There's a downloadable director update for flash 8.0

Detect a flash sprite

Hello:
I need to detect when I click over a flash sprite what sprite is.
With bitmap no problem: put the clickon
But with swf I can't detect when clicked.
Can you help me please?

Perhaps a combination of clickLoc and the point.inside(rect) function would do what you ask.

Opening a PDF inside Flash compile errors

I'm trying to open a pdf inside flash. I followed a tutorial online but I'm have issues with the compiler. Here's my code:
import flash.html.HTMLLoader;
import flash.html.HTMLPDFCapability;
import flash.html.HTMLWindowCreateOptions;
if( HTMLLoader.pdfCapability == HTMLPDFCapability.STATUS_OK )
    var htmlLoader:HTMLLoader = new HTMLLoader();
    var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "01_Advanta2_Master.pdf" );
    htmlLoader.width = 800;
    htmlLoader.height = 600;
    htmlLoader.load( url );
var pdfHolder:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
pdfHolder.addChild (htmlLoader);
    addChild (pdfHolder);
It results in these errors:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: UIComponent.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method UIComponent.
I've tried to import fl.core.UIComponents in the beginning but that resulted in this error:
1172: Definition fl.core:UIComponent could not be found.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to have components in the library in order for them to be accessible.

Can i use flex components in flash?

How to load a pdf inside flash

I need open a pdf inside flash how I do this?

armandix,
> I need open a pdf inside flash how I do this?
You can't, really. Flash Player doesn't support Acrobat.
Specifically,
you can't open a PDF in Flash and have it act like a PDF
(scrollable,
searchable, etc.). But you can certainly convert your PDF (or
a page from
your PDF) to an image format and import that.

Using Flex components within Flash CS3

I'm new to Flex and I enjoy all of the components that it has
to offer, but I am wondering about their availability within Flash.
My plan is to make a highly animated and interactive menu and
I have reached a point where I have to ask two questions:
1. Is is possible to use any of the Flex components within
Flash CS3?
2. If the first is not possible, then if I make my menu and
specify "containers" within the Flash file then is it possible to
populate these "containers" with Flex components by making the
Flash (.swf) file of my menu into a Flex component itself?

No, Flex components cannot be used in Flash 8.

How do I get a program to run inside flash

How do I get a program on my harddrive to run inside flash on my computer? I would like to build a Flash front end for my boat pc, but I would need to be able able to open up a program inside a flash.exe?
would a external .ini File work? if so what code would I use internally to execute the .ini
any help would be greatly appreciated Sincerely newwaveboats

Thanks for the tip about Zink, but it is not what I'm after.
On (Release)
FS Command ("exec", "install.exe")
End On
google search just revealed this button code but it was for back in the day "Flash 8" as1 or 2. as3 your not allowed code to be plaaced on buttons.
So I know it is possible, I just need the know how.
EDIT: I looked further into to this, and it is perfect for my needs. my first look was quick and I saw a close to 300 price tag and that it was a compiler, 2nd longer look showed it was free for personal use and has lots of great system features.
Thanks again combustion007 for your help was greatly appreciated, Sorry I did not realize how perfect it was when you first told me about it.
