Flex Hero (: release that dared to pretend that it was real :)

I have installed the Hero sdk 4.5.0.19786 (from 03/Feb) and yet in Flash Builder 4 (not the Buritto but straight 4) there are no style options when working with the Form control and as such, all I get is side labels and I need the vertical ones.
Please tell me that it is me who is stupid and doing something wrong and that Adobe is not being themselves their usual stupid and forcing a Flash Builder upgrade just to work with this so called "HERO" - the release that dared to pretend that it was real.

Stupid, no. Lazy, maybe. Try taking a look at the at the StackedFormSkin, StackedFormHeadingSkin, and StackFormItemSkin. Here is an example that might help: http://blog.flexexamples.com/2010/08/30/creating-a-stacked-spark-form-container-in-flex-he ro/

Flash to Android = Flex Hero?

Flex Hero, is that Actionscript to native Android code???
Or is it just apps on adobe air on top of Android OS example user would need to have adobe air on their android phones to use your apps, or can they use your apps without installing air???

WOW, that'd be really nice...
I tried developing for android using eclipse and the android sdk etc..
1. it took forever to setup...them opensource type stuff isn't meant to be easy...wish they would make a setup.exe or something. It's like copy this here, change this file and then spend hours figuring out they missed a step in their instructions. And the instructions were from google themselves.
2. Then there was the idea of having to learn java...*sigh*
Eclipse and Android development setting up process and development is bunk compared to visual studio and windows 7 phone development. Visual studio development for windows 7 phone is like WOW. Easy setup, and really nice work flow. The emulator is much faster as well, anyhow too bad no one uses windows 7 phones though.
If that's the direction that ADOBE is going with Flex, that's great...flex builder enviroment and work flow using action script creating native android apps would be like WOW!

How to design a flex app so that it loads fast

hi,
i was gonna make a large CRM+ERP app in flex and was worried
it would take a long time to load as even the smallest examples on
various sites take quite a bit of time to load (quite a lot more
than simple flash apps, why ??).
i was thinking of breaking each component into individual swf
but was afraid that it might make them pretty stand alone and not
allow accesing their properties etc.
what would be the simple and effective way to do this.
can anyone point me to any large app developed in flex 2, i
am also thinking of developing a Project Management app based on
netoffice after this app. only if this gets developed succesfully
coz macromedia used to have this great ability to make its flash
look like the ultimate tool even when it had major short comings
(one of them printing still exists in flex)
thanks

thanks man that was so much help. hope they update it for
flex 2.
also couple of queries.
1.) does the form container carry the same overhead as other
containers. (if not flex builder shud have stuff like auto layout
and then when you are happy with layout you can set stuff to
absolute layout and it auto fills widths, heights, x and y)
2.) if i create components thru code as like in a for loop
load time wud be same for 2 or 100 or 10000 components right.
3.) another question similar to 2 is that if i dont use any
outside controls load times shud be almost same for small app and
large apps since all i am doing create instances of already
existing control classes.
4.) if i break down my app into components and then load them
as needed wud it be same as creating each as a swf and loading
them.
5.) is layout using self written code faster than auto
layout. (for simpler forms)
6.) is creating controls via AS faster than creating them
mxml.
7.) is there any pauserefresh / pauselayout for when you want
to add a lot of stuff and dont want to do auto refreshes.
10x again for that link
i will be posting my own research into optimizations in this
thread too as i proceed with these apps

URL request syntax to redirect to a Flex Desktop application that runs in ADOBE AIR

Hi,
I'm developing a Flex Project that runs on ADOBE AIR. This
project contains two Flex desktop applications that runs in ADOBE
AIR.Now i need to redirect to one Flex desktop application from
another Flex desktop application.Can anyone please tell me how the
URL should look like in the new UrlRequest( ). Thanks in advance
for any help....................

After two days of research and getting localConnection to work, just to realize the application has to be running in order to pass variables to it with localConnection. I realized that I set <allowBroswerInvocation> to true in my air application, but forgot to uncomment it in the descriptor file. Extremely upsetting..... I can now get the airSWF.getApplicationVersion() to return the correct version number, but am still having problems with the airSWF.launchApplication() since it hard to debug, and just doesnt do anything. Below is the code in the Install.log after running the launchApplication() function I am still working on it and will post my progress. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Flex 4 Release Build breaks text editor

I was working on an editor using FB4 beta 2. Fonts were loaded at runtime ... CFF is being used.
In Flex 4 SDK that comes with FB4 beta 2, my spark rich text field sitting in a group in my application looks fine - proper font families applied and renders correctly. My font + style drop down lists are all fine as well.
As soon as I switch to the release SDK, or any SDK later than FB4 beta 2 (well, major releases) the font styles are not longer properly applied to the field. Changes to the family no longer apply to the rich text field.
The rich editable text that I'm using is basically as follows:
                <s:RichEditableText id="editor" fontLookup="embeddedCFF" renderingMode="cff"
                                    focusEnabled="false" x="100" y="50" focusIn="focusInEditor(event)" focusOut="focusOutEditor(event)"
                                    width="300" height="200">
                    <s:textFlow>
                        <s:TextFlow fontFamily="HelveticaNeueLTStd-MdCn">
                            <s:p fontFamily="HelveticaNeueLTStd-MdCn" fontSize="14" color="0x999999">Test first line of text</s:p>
                            <s:p fontFamily="HelveticaNeueLTStd-Blk" fontSize="18" color="0xFFFFFF">Test second line of text</s:p>
                        </s:TextFlow>
                    </s:textFlow>
                </s:RichEditableText>
That probably isn't too important but I figured I would paste it anyway. I'm using setFormatOfRange primarily and this block of textFlow was only to get some initial content into the text area.
There is a ton of other related code for editing, selection, etc. It seems any font family related change does not get applied.
I know there have been a ton of changes and this may be difficult to pin down. However, this is pretty awkward. The application I was building loaded up fine, fonts loaded up all fine and all editing worked perfectly until going to release SDK.
Is there any change that would cause this to happen?

Ok, so I finally got it working but this is not ideal at all. Adobe really needs to give us some direction on how to properly deal with font embedding and TLF now that the release build breaks all functionality with loading runtime fonts and TLF.
Problem:
I am embedding collections of fonts (faces) into single family classes. Each individual face is registered with Font.registerFont(). I need to do this because I have to have mixed fonts within text flows - at least according to Alex H's recent blog post.
Fonts do not display in TLF without doing the following:
1. GlobalSettings.resolveFontLookupFunction = null;
2. editor.textFlow.flowComposer.swfContext = ISWFContext(this.getFontContext("AnyFamilyNameFromAnyFontEmbedded", false, false, FontLookup.EMBEDDED_CFF));
3. Instead of #2, use editor.textFlow.invalidateAllFormats();
Either #2 or #3 need to be performed. If I have a spark richEditableText control in MXML with defined familes from the loaded fonts. I even tried placing the control into a separate state so it wasn't created until after the fonts were loaded... I still needed to invalidate the formats or set the context.
The "AnyFamilyNameFromAnyFontEmbedded" does not need to be all of the embedded family names. It only needs to be one of them. Once one is used, all embedded fonts work. Also, I have to use the internal namespace to even get access to getFontContext, another oddity that, in my humble opinion, should never be necessary to create mixed style TLF content.
My questions are then:
1. Why am I required to use ISWFContext if I am using Font.registerFont()?
2. Why is GlobalSettings.resolveFontLookupFunction = null; also required for this to work?
3. What is the recommended workflow to embed fonts from multiple SWF files into the release build and have it work without having to jump through all these hoops?

Download Flex hero SDK ASDOCS

Hi,
Where can I download the asdocs? The SDk contains a small directory asdocs with a build.xml. I tried to build it, but get: 4.5.0\asdoc\build.xml:47: FLEX_HOME must be set to use the Flex Ant Tasks
(I have set FLEX_HOME)
The online help is no longer available: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flex/4.5/UsingFlashBuilder/AH_HOME.html
Thanks,
ropoboy

The actual answer is to go to the main Developer Documentation page (http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Developer+Documentation), ignore the Flex Hero content and that there is no reference to Flex 4.5, click the 'General Flex 4 Documentation' link under 'Flex 4', this will take you to Flex 4.5 documentation, where you will find a link to the 'Full Documentation Set (zip)'.
However the ASDoc documentation that is included here is partially broken. The "Show packages and classes list" link at the top doesn't work in Google Chrome on Mac. It does work in Firefox and Safari on Mac.
It would be nice if Adobe could:
1. Update their main Developer Documentation page so that Flex 4.5 content can be found under a link to Flex 4.5 content rather then have it be buried under Flex 4. Similarily it would be nice if Flex 4 content could be found under the link to Flex 4 content.
2. Consider fixing the ASDoc that is included in the full documentation set for Flex 4.5 so it works in Chrome.

Xoom Development With Flex Hero / FB Burrito

Hello:
I have been developing an app for Xoom using the Java SDK. We would like to use Flash so the app is more protable. I just got the Burrito beta with Flex Hero and since Xoom doesn't support flash yet there isn't much I can do except back end coding.
Will there be an emulator for Xoom?
Does developing using Flash create an APK that you can publish to the market? Obviously they'd need to update their device to support flash ...
I am at a cross road, continue with Java or switch to Flash. I need some advice!
Thanks.

Hi,
There's a difference between an app running on Android with the AIR runtime,
vs a Flash web app running in the browser. Currently Xoom supports the AIR
runtime, so you can create apps with AIR for Android and deploy them to the
device now, without needing the Flash Player in the browser. By March 18,
the Flash Player for the browser will be available to the Xoom. Flash Player
in the browser is separate from the AIR runtime.
When creating apps with Flash or Flex using the AIR for Android deployment
option (currently in FB Burrito or Flash CS5 latest update) you can create a
.apk file that can be installed onto any Android device that supports AIR:

I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do!

I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do! I dont understand why it worked in the first place when it wasn't supposed to!

There seems to be a billing problem with the iTS. I've been trying to make purchases today (Dec 9th) too and it reports either the iTS can not process payments or it says my card was declined. I even changed the payment method to Paypal (which is never declined) and still no go.
I don't think it is "you" but a problem at Apple. Some popular new apps were released recently like Logic Pro and perhaps they're getting bombarded as they did when Lion was released.
Wait a few hours and then try again.

ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.
