Flex on Linux: Serial problems

Hi there,
I've changed from Windows to Linux lately and tried to work
with Eclipse and Adobe's Flex Plugin.
First of all it's great to have an opportunity to work with
Flex on a Linux system, and as well I think it's a good idea,
because there are many skilled developers working on Linux, that
may be missed otherwise.
Now after installing the product everything went smoothly and
i was able to compile AS3 to SWF-files. But after using Flex some
days I noticed the info in the bottom left corner that told me my
serial would only be useable for some 100 days, so I tried
registering Flex with my Windows serial.
Unfortunately this did only reduce the amount of time left
from 100 to ~3 days. These days are over now and I'd like to
continue developing in Eclipse.
Is there a way I can bring Flex to give me back those 100
days? I think it's not Adobe's intention to scare off users, who
bought (!) a copy of this software.
Please help me,
Thanks,
vogelscheuche

You got caught near the end of the trial. We updated it on
Labs again today, will have a year to use it.

[Linux] Serial Ports

Hi,
are the PC Com1 & Com2
serial Ports still supported
under LV Linux version ?
I dont find the Serial Port VIs anymore ?
The idea was to move a LV .vi from WinX to Linux.............
any experiences ?

In both Windows and Linux, you are supposed to use the VISA functions. It's almost the same, and there is a compatibility menu, with wrapper VI's that simulate the old functions. I'm currently developing an application in windows (old habbits die hard), and I'm running it under Linux without any serial problems.

OSMF Flex 4 VideoPlayer sound problem

Hi,
It seems that there is a problem with sound in the Spark VideoPlayer in video that's been encoded in H.264.
If I set 'autoPlay' to 'true' or start playing from the very beginning of the clip, everything works fine.
But if I set 'autoPlay' to 'false' and start the video not from the beginning, i.e. click somewhere in the seekBar, video is playing, but there is no sound. Once I jump back to the very beginning of the clip the sound appears, and from that point I can play the clip from any section and sound is there.
Once I reload the video, the story is repeated.
This happens ONLY with H.264 files and does NOT happen with flv files.
Also, I don't believe that this problem existed back in the beta version of Flex 4 (previous version of FlashPlayer 10.x.xx.xx), even after the VideoPlayer became OSMF based.
FTQuest

Good evening Brian,
After installing the latest Flash Player from the Adobe labs and switching to the latest nightly build of Flex SDK the sound problem is gone.
But I've run into another one: I make a simple OSMF player in Flash CS5 and it works fine within the Flash and also when I open the resulting SWF in stand alone Flash Player.
Yet, when I try to open the swf from within the Flex 4 application, using mx:SWFLoader I get the following error: VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of synthesizer in org.osmf.layout.LayoutMetadata.
Any advice on that?
Thanks,
FTQuest
P.S. Also, for some reasons setting the 'autoPlay' on MediaPlayer to 'false' doesn't prevent the video from instant playing.

Flex Builder Linux A4 + Flash in Eclipse

I installed Flex Builder Linux A4 successfully on a machine
w/ properly working Flash 10 on Mozilla Firefox 3.01 (Iceweasel).
When I fired up Flex in Eclipse (menu: Help > Flex Start Page),
I get the error message below.
" The Flex Start Page requires the Adobe Flash Player. Please
use the installers in the Flex Builder 3/Player/ folder to install
the Adobe Flash Player into your default browser. "
I am running: Debian sid, Sun JRE1.6, Flash 10 (in
Iceweasel), Eclipse 3.4.1. Many thanks for any tips to get Fx
Builder working.

Hi,
Can you please change the web browser settings of Eclipse.
From the menu select Window -> Preference -> General ->
Web browser
here, select external web browser and select Firefox or the
browser in which you have Flash Player installed.
Hope this helps.

Flex installation and serial number, activation problem.

Hello guys,
After the installation of Adobe Flex Builder 3 in my pc, I provide the right serial number
to the software to activate it. The software takes the serial as good, but
when I close and then I open Flex again, he ask the serial again.
I do this with administrator account…
Someone had the same problem?
Do you know if it should depends on Windows Vista configuration?
Note: this Flex license was used in other old Pc that now still not working.
Thank you, Fabio.

Vihamil are you utilizing the serial number registered under your account at http://www.adobe.com/. You can find more details on how to locate your registered serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

Linux serial access problem

I'm running Labview 6.1 on Linux. The vi I want to run loads properly, but does not seem able to access the serial port. The default port is com1 (the vi was written on a Windows system I believe), and occasionally ASRL1::INSTR and ASRL2::INSTR show up in the drop-down box. I can select ASRL1, but it usually reverts to Com1, and then the ASRL's aren't on the list anymore.
I have run NIvisaic, which looks like the ports are properly setup, and I do have permissions correct. I have a port tester connected, and RTS and CTS do toggle when I select ASRL1, but when I try to send data using the "Basic IO" function, nothing is sent. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello rhauff,
I understand you are having trouble communicating through serial in Linux. Which Linux distribution are you using and what version of NI-VISA do you have installed?
What exactly is happening when you run your program? You mentioned that it works for 5 seconds but then stops. What is happening when it stops? Are there any errors being thrown?
Also, I think it would be most beneficial to try using a basic serial example in LabVIEW (Help » Find Examples) to see if you can get it to work. Navigate to Hardware Input and Output » Serial » "Basic Serial Write and Read.vi". It would also be helpful to perform an NI-SPY capture when running the program to help troubleshoot what is happening. For information on using NI SPY for Linux, please look here. There is also another resource for troubleshooting serial communcation in Linux which can be found here. Hope this helps,

Linux Serial NI-VISA - Can the buffer size be changed from 4096?

I am communicating with a serial device on Linux, using LV 7.0 and NI-VISA. About a year and a half ago I had asked customer support if it was possible to change the buffer size for serial communication. At that time I was using NI-VISA 3.0. In my program the VISA function for setting the buffer size would send back an error of 1073676424, and the buffer would always remain at 4096, no matter what value was input into the buffer size control. The answer to this problem was that the error code was just a warning, letting you know that you could not change the buffer size on a Linux machine, and 4096 bytes was the pre-set buffer size (unchangeable). According to the person who was helping me: "The reason that it doesn't work on those platforms (Linux, Solaris, Mac OSX) is that is it simply unavailable in the POSIX serial API that VISA uses on these operating systems."
Now I have upgraded to NI-VISA 3.4 and I am asking the same question. I notice that an error code is no longer sent when I input different values for the buffer size. However, in my program, the bytes returned from the device max out at 4096, no matter what value I input into the buffer size control. So, has VISA changed, and it is now possible to change the buffer size, but I am setting it up wrong? Or, have the error codes changed, but it is still not possible to change the buffer size on a Linux machine with NI-VISA?
Thanks,
Sam

The buffer size still can't be set, but it seems that we are no longer returning the warning. We'll see if we can get the warning back for the next version of VISA.
Thanks,
Josh

Dual boot Windows 7 (64) and Arch Linux (64) problems

Hello:
I am new to Arch Linux and just finished installing the 64bit on my laptop. It had a prebuilt Windows 7 (64) installed which I kept but split the hdd from 160Gb to 80Gb and 80Gb. I installed Arch there and set 4 partitions, all of them as Logical - a 64 MB ext2 /boot partition; a 512 MB swap partition; a 15 GB root partition; and the rest as my /home partition. My partitions look like this:
Disk Drive: /dev/sda
Size: 160041885696 bytes, 160.0 GB
Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 19457
Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB)
sda1 Primary Unknown (27) 12889.02
sda2 Boot Primary NTFS 106.93
sda3 Primary NTFS [] 73915.11*
sda5 Logical Linux ext2 65.81*
sda6 Logical Linux 509.97*
sda7 Logical Linux ext2 15002.92*
sda8 Logical Linux ext2 57549.55*
The install was succesful(this was running from the core install cd) and I installed GRUB to my /boot but when I restarted it loaded Windows 7. I have used Knoppix USB disc to boot and see my Arch Linux install files and edited the /boot/gur/menu.lst file.
In Windows I installed EasyBCD 1.7.2 and tried to get NeoGrub bootloader working as a dual boot. I tried getting rid of the boot flag for Windows with cfdisk and setting it to my (Logical) sda5. That did not work. So far the only way I have booted into my Arch Linux install has been by going to the Live CD, choosing "Boot from Existing Linux Install" and editing the command files there.
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro
initrd /kernel26.img
My goal is to get a dual boot working for Windows 7 and Arch Linux 64 and continue installing the Xorg and KDE to Arch. I just don't know what the problem is here. I don't mind reinstalling Arch if something went wrong, but I would like to keep my Windows running in order and add Arch on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I ran the LiveCD and chose "Install to MBR hd0". I ended up with this:
setup hd(0,1)
Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists.....yes
Checking if "/boot/grub/iso9660_stage1_5" exists.....yes
Running "embed /boot/grub/iso9660_stage1_5 (hd0,1)".....failed(this is not fatal)

Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0,1) /boot/grub/stage2 p (hd0,1) boot/grub/menu.lst".....failed

Linux installation problem on D20

Hi, guys,
I am trying to install Redhat Linux x86_64 5.3 on D20 with a Marvell 88SE63xx/64xx SAS controller. As the Linux installer cannot recognize the SAS controller, I download a driver of Marvell mv64xx for Redhat x86_64 5.2 from Lenovo driver matrix website. Unfortunately, no matter how I follow the instruction to load the driver, the so-called mv64xx doesn't drive the Marvel 88SE63xx/64xx SAS controller in D20, so that the Redhat 5.3 Linux installer cannot find any hard drive. This is ridiculous and ironic because I got 5 SAS 15rpm hard drives in D20. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem and get Redhat Linux 5.3 installed on D20 with SAS drives?
Solved!

hello, good news everyone
today i tested the upcoming kernel 2.6.31-1 with ubuntu server x64 (9.10 / karmic)

the kernel included the mvsas module and its dependant, and ran out of the box doing anything. and yes, it's a software raid, the bios offers raid 5 and 10, but they are greyed out. okay, my graphic is now broken with 2.6.31-1, but hey, the 5 port's are working i almost forgot where i have put the 500gb disk. hdparm -tT showed 7.8gb/s buffered and 77mb/s normal read, which is normal for the drive.
because of the nature of a module, i believe you have to compile a kernel with support of mvsas on your own to boot linux from it, or you use the ich10 - only for optical drives - sata port, which works fine with the intel x25-m ssd.

Flex 3 App having problems with Vista/Flash10

Hello Forum Folks,
I have a small little wizard/form app in Flex 3.0 that runs wonderfully in Flash 9 on a Windows XP box. However, when I try to run it on a Vista/Flash 10 box, the VBox that contains the wizard is a blank screen. I get the blank screen only when I return to the wizard from being in it previously (while staying inside the Flex app). I can see that the wizard code is pulling data from my server with no problem when the blank screen occurs. However, the browser (I'm using Firefox 3.0.1) states that it is still downloading data from my server. Using HttpFox I can see that all requests to server are answered with an HTTP 200 (OK) response, so I don't think it's the server/client communication....
Anyone run into this before? Any idea on how to force the VBox to display or refresh? I've tried invalidateDisplayList - but no positive results.
Thanks in advance,
--Andy

Not really a solution but a work-around for the problem: When I revisist the wizard, I made the handle holding the wizard equal to null, then created a new wizard and re-attached it as a child:
this.wizardHandle = null;
this.wizardHandle = new WizardApp();
this.addChild(this.WizardHandle);
This kept the blank screen from appearing... which is good, but doesn't fix the underlying problem... whatever that happen to be. So if anyone still has a guess I would be glad to hear it.
Thanks,
Andy

Widget creation on Flex builder and related problems - need some help

Hi all.
I am trying to create a widget like application and it seems
I have made a mistake. As you know, desktop widgets are like small
stickers, they do not appear on taskbar and can be hidden or
docked.
The problem is that I created an AIR application using Flex
Builder 3 Beta and now I cannot find how to make that application
behave like custom-shaped window. My app appears on Windows taskbar
and I don't want it. When I drag the window (which is a custom
shape) it shows that nasty dragging rectangle around it.
As far as I found out (and tried it) I need to use cod like:
var initOptions:NativeWindowInitOptions = new
NativeWindowInitOptions();
initOptions.systemChrome = NativeWindowSystemChrome.NONE;
initOptions.type = NativeWindowType.UTILITY;
to hide my window from the taskbar. But it seems I cannot use
such a code for class mx:Application. Or can I (would be grateful
for some idea)?
The main question is:
if I want to migrate my app to that NativeWindow based
solution - then NativeWindow is not an mx class and I cannot find
how I will use Flex Builder Design mode to arrange my GUI elements.
Is it somehow possible to wrap my mx:Application inside
NativeWindow and do not have to migrate the design from mxml files
to pure ActionScript?
The second issue - if I want to use some kind of subforms -
like widget settings window - when I move that window with the
mouse, it is being clipped to the region of my Application. Does
that again mean that I need to use NativeWindow for creating such a
"Widget settings" dialog window?
Thanks for any ideas (and especially for useful links and
examples :-) )
