Flex skins - compile time or not?

Hi there, I am sorry if this seems like too simple of a
question, but I have searched around and I don't even know if I am
looking for the right words to ask this with. Put as simply as
possible, if I am developing a skin for an application that we will
then give to our customers, will they have to recompile the app in
order to change the skin or will they have the ability to put a new
skin into the app after it has been compiled and released? Is the
skin embedded in the app or is it held separately? Is there a
difference between using graphical vs. programmatic skins at
compile time? Thanks for any help you can give me, and Happy New
Year!

The application can use a compiled CSS file and load it at
runtime, but the app must be set up to use it before it is
compiled. Then you can swap out the swf with a new one and it will
work as long as all the style names and style assignments are the
same as the old one. You cannot add a swf with skins to an existing
app without setting it up first and compiling the app.

Decrease compilation time

Hello
In my application I have 4 Model project and one ViewController project.
In the log file , the compilation takes 3 minutes! With the startup of the server I'm starting the application for about 5-6 minutes each time.
Is there some way to decrease this time?
here is the snipped from the log that takes 3 minutes (It's too long I know but maybe it would be helpful):

[5:02:01 PM] Appc compilation end

Hi all,
I have this problem too, and I know the problem isn't my hardware, because I'm running JDeveloper on a PC with these specs: Win 7 64bit, cpu: intel Core i7-3930K, 16G RAM, SSD Hard.
Also all JDK that I'm using are 64bit, But when my project got bigger, I have these problem too. I can't count on my project RUN TIME, because of hanging JAVAW.exe !
Sometime it passes quickly as a flash, but sometime it takes more than an hour (maybe more!) with same project!
As "a.gruev" mentioned, it's NOT for Compiling Time, and NOT for Weblogic Start Time, it's just JAVAW that takes a long time!
I couldn't find any solution on the net, but I've checked the JAVAW.EXE and I've realized after more than 5 min it doesn't do anything special(!) and just waits, waits, and waits!!
So, I've found a solution incidentally, but I don't know if it's a good solution or not, but it works for me. Every time JDeveloper takes more than 5 min by JAVAW, I'll open "Resource Monitor" in Win 7, and will find javaw.exe in cpu list.
After that, I'll choose "Analyze Wait Chain" via Context Menu on Javaw.exe, and it'll popup a panel that shows two chained thread of javaw.exe. Finally, I'll select Sub-Thread and will order to end process of Sub-Thread, and at last waiting problem will be solved! And JDeveloper will do next step (Weblogic starting commands).
It's working for me, and I hope helps other person who have my problem too.

Compile Time just drastically increased! [HELP]

I'm not sure why .. my compile time just went from approx 20-30 seconds ... to 2:41
All I've done is add some images and minimal code changes.
Any idea why this would happen ? 2:41 compile time is not going to be fun.

Hi Applauz, trust me, trash the Flash IDE...
I developed Old School Race (oldschoolrace.com) all with Flash CS5.5 spending more time waiting Flash than coding........... and when you include some embedded images the packaging time grow up esponentially.
Now I'm using Flash Builder and all is ok, it's very fast also with lot of embedded images. Don't wait, spend some hours getting closed with FB, you'll re-save this (good spent) hours in a while

Hi Everyone..
I am getting an Error 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Component Event.
The ComponentEvent class has been imported,and also the event handling code is there. I am not sure what else is wrong, hope somebody can advise me. Thanks. The code is below, the point where the error occurs as indicated by the compiler has been highlighted.

Hi Guys...
I have found out what is wrong. I was importing the wrong package the correct one should have been:
import fl.events.ComponentEvent;
instead of
import flash.events.ComponentEvent;
I hope this is helpful for anyone caught in a simillar situation as me...Thanks..

Trouble adding a web url link to an existing file: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:

Hi There,
We're trying to add a simple link to an existing Flash file. There looks to be at least 7 separate .as files and a separate swf that loads the main swf which all seems overly complex for what is essentially a page with six buttons on it.
However, we need to add a URL to some of the text. So we converted the text to a button, added an instance name of <ssbpurchasetickets_btn> then added the following Actionscript into the actions layer on the frame the text/button appears:
ssbpurchasetickets_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ssbButtonPurchase);
function ssbButtonPurchase(event:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.url.com/tickets.html"));
When we publish the file we get the following error which seems to cascade into a whole bunch more errors:
Description: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MouseEvent.
Source: function ssbButtonPurchase(event:MouseEvent):void
We added "ssb" onto the button and functions to ensure there were no conflicts but the same thing occurred. If we copy the button into a new file everything works so it must be conflicting with something in the main files.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!!!!
Cheers

Thanks for the reply Ned,
The file is set to use AS3 and I'm pretty sure the original should be set to AS3 as the .as files look like AS3 syntax to me - here's a sample:
protected function handleWwrdButtonClick(e:ButtonEvent):void {
Browser.open(globalVar.xml.wwrd.item[0].@url, globalVar.xml.wwrd.item[0].@target);
OmnitureTracker.trackFeaturedContentClick('http://www.url.com/movies/international', 'wwrd_button');
timer.stop();
timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
I'm wondering if all the Actionscript has be placed into one of the .as files as there isn't any Actionscript in the Flash project - a part from the odd stop()
Really stuck on this one (I'm not an expert at all) so any help in deciphering the project would be much appreciated.
Cheers

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Event.

I am more than a little frustrated. I'm using Flash Professional CS5.5, attempting to publish ActionScript 3.0 for FlashPlayer 10.2
My code begins with:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
Then much later I have:
teamFourCar_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, trackPosition);
function trackPosition (event:Event)
and I keep getting a compiler error:
Scene 1, Layer 'actions', Frame 1, Line 434
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Event.
I have imported the class "Events". I have successfully used the same construction in other scripts... in fact, virtually the same construction is included in Code Snippets as Fade In and Fade Out. Adding ":void" after (event:Event) makes no difference. I have Googled - to no avail - and spent the better part of a day reading through the on-line help files, but the solution is still eluding me.
It's probably so simple I'm going to smack myself in the forehead and mutter "Duh!" when I find a solution...
If you can do anything to hasten that event (no pun intended) I (with the possible exception of my forehead) will be very grateful.
TIA
Terry

The entire code of the main movie clip is at http://pastebin.com/JYfLUhh1
A sample of one of the four "problem" movie clips is at http://pastebin.com/gQGDyngx

There are the only three occurrences of a function with (event:Event). Two are ENTER_FRAME (427 & 1819) The other is COMPLETE from Loader.info
Auto format reported a syntax error "near 'if(movingCar.currentFrame == (dieRoll * 24) + movingCarPosition)' " but I can't detect what, if anything, is wrong with it.
I'm not an experienced developer... in fact, the last programming I did before taking up Flash three months ago was with QuickBasic under DOS 6.2... therefore, please try not to roll your eyes too much when you see how inelegant the code is.
I have a working version, but it's over 7,000 lines and a memory hog. I'm trying to make it more elegant and more efficient. BTW, the three (event:Event) functions are in the working version in more or less the same places, with the same calling code.
I hope you can figure it out.
Thank you in advance

First off, is this relating to a Microsoft SQL Server database, or a MySQL database? I see several references to MySQL in your example.
Your code uses a function StartingRow() which isn't a built-in T-SQL function. So, if it is a function you've defined, you need to make sure it's properly referenced in order to use it. (may need a 2 or 3 part name if it isn't in the default
schema or the same database.)

Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant?

Hi guys,
I'm going nuts. I've got this movieclip that I made into a
button with ActionScript. When clicked, it
should go to a frame in my main timeline labeled "beansbus",
but whenever I try to test the movie out, Flash
gives me this error:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
bus.
I've looked around on the internet and I've been told that
this error can
crop up if the instance name is the same as a library object.
That WAS the
problem, but I renamed the library object to Cutebus, so that
should have fixed it, I hope. There was another fix that involved
something called TextFields in my movieclip, but I don't have
those...
My code looks like this, which was copied and pasted from an
in-class tutorial that DOES work, with no problems.
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.

actually the error:
quote:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference. at
beans_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[beans_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:3]
may not obviously give the line number at first
glance, but it does! 'frame 1:3' refers to frame 1, line 3. which
if your code post was accurate to line numbers, refers to:
quote:
bus.stop();
so i'd suggest looking at your bus clip and
ensuring that you have correctly defined its instance name. Also,
make sure you have this correctly defined in each keyframe that the
clip appears.

Now that the error is solved, when I test nothing happens. I just get a blank screen.
What is supposed to happen? When the program opens a splash screen should be added for 3 seconds and then fade out. Then some main screen movie clips should be added to the stage.

OCIBindByPos() and dynamic SQL (not known at compile time)

Hi,
How can I use OCIBindByPos() or OCIBindByName() if the datatyp of the bind variable(s) is unknown at compile time (the SQL statement is entered by the user at run time)? Or which functions should I use instead?
Many thanks in advance
Edited by: user13176357 on 17.04.2012 12:43

You could write a single native method (with a defined name like "callNative" below) that accepts the name (string) of the actual native function you want to call, and then locates the function via GetProcAddress and calls it. Argument passing and return values could get tricky if the target native functions aren't guaranteed to all have the same signature, but you could handle that by explicit boxing:
native Object callNative (String name, Object [] args);

Trying to dynamically load CSS for project at compile time via config XML file to select CSS file.

I'm using the same code base to compile different versions of a project. Each project has different base fonts. I've created multiple css files that use the same style names. The idea being that in the code I reference the style names, then the loaded CSS determines which font (and size, color, etc) is used for each style name.
The CSS files are compiling to SWFs, and those SWFs are referenced in config.xml files. Before compiling, I select the config file to use.
I am loading the CSS SWF files via the StyleManager in the Application.mxml, like so:
styleManager.loadStyleDeclarations( _contentData.elements( 'cssPath' ).@path )
The path traces out correctly as:
assets_embed/styles/project2.swf
For some reasone I must include an fx:Style line in the Application.mxml file or no fonts are recognized. Example:
<fx:Style source="assets_embed/styles/project1.css"/>
If I reference the css for project one (as done above) then most, but not all, styles work. Some styles reference the fonts from the project 1 css, others properly use fonts from project 2 swf. If I point to the CSS for the project I'm compiling in the <fx:Style > tag then all fonts work, but that defeats the goal of using XML rather than code to identify the styles.
So, why do I need the fx:Style line if the css is being loaded via StyleManager?
Why is there "cross talk" between style definitions?
Is there a better way to select styles at compile time?

I read this quickly so I might have missed a detail. I think your describing an issue with recent Flex releases that is described in the fine print somewhere. If you don't have any fonts embedded in the main app and are only bringing in fonts embedded in CSS SWFs, you have to force-link the EmbeddedFontRegistry by adding something like this to the main app's script block.
import mx.core.EmbeddedFontRegistry; EmbeddedFontRegistry;
(Yes, "EmbeddedFontRegistry" is in there twice, once to define the fully qualified name, the other to create a class dependency to force the linking).

Finding errors in a Coldfusion source file at compile time

My application is built using Coldfusion, Flex and MySQL as backend. I am using FlexBuilder 3 for editing/compiling the Flex source(MXML and Actionscript) files. For the Coldfusion(CF) source files(cfm and cfc files), I am using Coldfusion Builder to edit the source files since it is an IDE for Coldfusion so using that I can see the CF syntax highlighted and text which is commented. After, I complete editing the Coldfusion source files in Coldfusion Builder I close them in CF Builder. Then, the application is compiled using the Flex Builder, but I cannot see any syntax errors if they exist in the Coldfusion source files and I learn of the errors at run time that there is a tag nesting error.
After, I edit the Coldfusion source files I close them in CF Builder so that Flexbuilder can compile the project and there is no issue of CF source file being locked due to being open in CF builder.
1. What can I do to ensure I see the CF errors at compile time?
2. Is there a better/another method than what I am doing to work on a project which has Flex/CF source files?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

While you are 'compiling' your application since it has a FLEX front end that is compiled. This actually does nothing with the ColdFusion files, or at least I can't imagine what it would be doing with those files.
CFML is just-in-time compiled at run time. And I do not believe using it in a Flex builder application would change this.
What I would do in this situation is develop the back-end and front-end separately. Build the CFML, test it with simple test cases run through direct browser requests of the CFML or some test harness CFML that executes your back-end logic and runs it through it paces. Once that is built and tested. Then attach the FLEX front end to it and test that.

How can i read the timestamp of my *.swf's compile time?

Hi,
sometimes i run into the problem that my builds from FlexBuilder are not refreshed/rebuilt properly due to many reasons (compile errors, ...).
To be able to determine if the build I'm debugging right now I'd simply like to display the timestamp of the compile time of my app within itself.
Thought already about accessing the file properties through the FileSystem...but come on there must be another way to get that info...
Searched also inside the LiveDocs for compiler constants that can be read but found nothing that matches my needs, yet.
Thank's for any help or suggestion!

Same question w/ a twist, is it somehow possible to get FLEX compiler to understand and evaluate something like this:
-define+=COMPILE::Timestamp,"new Date()"
Obviously it doesn't work otherwise I would have used it and proposed it as a solution myself.
But I was wondering if there are some tweaks to trick the framework into evaluating this?
Or writing this expression itself somehow differently to get it evaluated?

Is there a 'compile time' if/else statement in LabVIEW

I have some LabVIEW software that includes subVIs to read from and write to digital IO lines. However, I need to also be able to run this software on systems which don't have an IO card (or associated drivers) installed and so I want to be able to allow the software to be on PCs that do or don't have the drivers installed.
Optimally, I would like to modify the software so that at runtime, by reading the settings in a configuration file, a boolean is set to determine whether the IO functions are called. I tried this but, unfortunately, am getting error messages when I try and start up the software due to the lack of the 'nidaq32.dll' file on the target PC. I'm guessing this is because the subVIs are only within case structures and so must be loaded into memory regardless of whether they are to be used.
Is there any way around this problem? If I were writing this in C I guess I would use '#if' statements to include/exclude the IO functions at compile time. Is there an equivalent in LabVIEW? I guess my options are:
1. Finding some way of allowing the IO functions to be included at runtime though I'm thinking this might not be possible.
2. Include/exclude the IO functions at compile time with some LabVIEW equivalent of the C '#if' preprocessor directive.
3. Give in and install the nidaq32.dll file with the software.
Just to complicate matters, I'm currently running LabVIEW 5.0.1 (I do plan to upgrade soon) so am limited to the functions available in this version.
Thanks.

That's the main problem.
On newer versions you can:
define simulated devices (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3698)
use the conditional disable structure (see e.g.: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3046, (see section 6))
Time to upgrade!
