How to use LIVE images within a flex app

My App is composed of links to other websites. Currently these links are in the form of images which are basically static screenshots of the websites.
What I want is for these images to instead be live i.e. what the website looks like currently. So if the website changes it's background colour etc this will change within the image making it a live screenshot. This is something my client wants so that the app is is basically self updatable. Can anyone help me out on how to do this please?

I see what you mean about the clickable transparent overlays as this would stop the user interacting with the images which is what I want and I also see what you mean about it being hard to scale the images as it seems iframe has it's own scrollbars and includes the entire screen rather than thumbnails.
My further problem is that I need to display these images in a tilelist that the user can scoll up and down and the images need to be drag and droppable between 2 tilelists. Yikes. They already are drag and droppable at the moment and are all displayed within a tilelist but I just need to make them live.
Now I'm scared. Ha.

How to Use an Image to Customize the Static Button Widget

Can I just get someone to help me figure out how to use an image to customize the static button widget, please?
I have tried using several different types of images, but none of them seem to actually change the appearance of the button.
Thanks!

I tried to use the tools within the widget itself - it offers you the opportunity to use an image (see screenshot below).
I also opened it in Flash and tried to replace the images for one of the button styles there w/ my own, but in re-publishing the SWF from there I broke the widget. When I attempted to use the edited widget, there were no customization controls available after I inserted it (see screenshot two below).

Use the above snippet. You might need to convert the Image Type you are using with picture functions. The above snippet will give you good idea on how to achieve what you intend to.

How to use my as3 file in flex

hi, I am new in flex and want to divert into flex. How to use my as3 file into flex. Is there any sample tutor . so, that I could learn fast.

Please clarify. Is this .as file a class you previously used as a complonentcomponent you now wish to use as the main application?
If the .as file just has variables and functions you wish to access from your Flex app, use:
include "subfolder1/subfolder2/etc/MyASFile.as";
If you want to use classes from the file, do this:
import subfolder1.subfolder2.etc.MyClassName;
If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.

how to use live type in motion 4

There is a LiveType (or LiveFonts) content section in the Library in Motion 4 (but NOT Motion 5 - LiveType is obsolete, much to my chagrin...) - but you can still import LiveType projects into Motion 4 just as you could in Motion 3 - a simple drag'n'drop from the finder will do; or use Import from the file menu.

I'm sorry, but there is nothing that I can do to help you with this situation. I don't know why, but many people have problems when they try to buy gems in the Clash of Clans game. Personally, I wouldn't touch the game with a ten foot pole, but that's just my opinion.

How to use Java as a Front-end app

how java application can be used as the Front-end interfaces to Forte based
applications???

Rajiv,
If you have Forte's WebEnterprise product, and Forte version 3.0.G.x or
later, you have the ability to export an IIOP interface for any Forte
service object. In fact, you can go one step further and generate a Java
interface that "hides" the IIOP issues from the developer. The way you do
this is to do the following:
1) From the partitioning workshop, double click on the service object you
wish to expose as an IIOP interface. This will bring up the Service Object
Properties dialog.
2) Off the Export tab, set the External Type drop down to IIOP. If IIOP is
not an available option in the drop down list then you do not have
WebEnterprise install.
3) From here you need to set up the necessary IIOP configuration parameters
(see the documentation for details on the specifics of what the parameters
control).
4) If you want to have Forte generate a JavaBean interface and the necessary
Java classes to be called by your application then make sure you select the
Java parameter at the bottom of the Configuration dialog. If IDL is
selected then Forte will generate a generic IDL interface.
5) When you make your distribution Forte will generate the Java classes for
you.
This mechanism works very well for accessing a Forte service object from a
Java application.
Good Luck!
Jeff Wille

How to fit the images within textframe in indesign using javascript?

Hi,
We are using the update script for updating the values in table.
If i am using images within textframe, the table is not fitting after updating it. Without using images the table is fitting.
First i have dragged the table in Indesign document. Then i have altered the image size and updated the table using Update script.
Finally i want to fit the table with the resized images.
Note: I can get the updated values in table . but i cannot get the resized images.( Now i can get the original image after updating the table)
Please help me if anyone has idea regarding this issue.
Thanks,
Vimala L

Hi,
Please find below the Update Script,
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var updateOption = app.scriptArgs.get("updateOption");
main();
function main()
if(updateOption=="UPDATE")
UpdateLink();
function UpdateLink()
myDoc = app.activeDocument;
myLinks = myDoc.links;
for (j = myLinks.length - 1; j >= 0; j--)
myName = myLinks[j].filePath;
var ext = myName.substring(myName.length-3,myName.length) ;
if (myLinks[j].status == LinkStatus.linkOutOfDate)
myLinks[j].update();
After running this script i cannot get the image in table.
While running the Fitting script followed by Update script i am getting the Original size of the image. But i want the re-sized image in table.
Fitting Script:
var textFitoption= app.scriptArgs.get("textFitOption");
var imageFitoption= app.scriptArgs.get("imageFitOption");
var tableFitoption= app.scriptArgs.get("tableFitOption");
main();
function main()
IterateDocument();
function IterateDocument()
for(myCounter = 0; myCounter < app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textFrames.length; myCounter++)
myStory = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textFrames.item(myCounter);
FitPageItem (myStory);
function FitPageItem (mySel)
if(mySel.associatedXMLElement!=null)
if (mySel.constructor.name == "TextFrame")
if(mySel.associatedXMLElement.xmlAttributes.itemByName("IMAGE_FILE")==null)
mySel.parentStory.clearOverrides();
mySel.parentStory.appliedCharacterStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles.add()
mySel.parentStory.appliedCharacterStyle.remove();
//Fit all inline Items
graphicItems = mySel.allGraphics; // I cannot get the graphicItems.
for(g=0;g<graphicItems.length;g++)
if(imageFitoption=="Fit Frame To Content")
graphicItems[g].fit(FitOptions.frameToContent);
else if(imageFitoption=="Fit Content Proportionally")
graphicItems[g].fit(FitOptions.proportionally);
}//for
}//Has image_file attr
}//is text frame
if(mySel.associatedXMLElement.markupTag.name=="products")
if(IsImageEmbeddedInTable(mySel)==true)
xmlElem = mySel.associatedXMLElement;
mySel.placeXML(xmlElem);
}//if products
function IsImageEmbeddedInTable(mySel)
for( var j = 0; j< mySel.tables.length ; j++ )
table = mySel.tables[j];
for( var i = 0 ; i< table.cells.length ;i++ )
cell= table.cells[i];
cellElement = cell.associatedXMLElement;
if(cellElement !=null)
if(cellElement.xmlElements!=null)
if(cellElement.xmlElements.count()>0)
if(cellElement.xmlElements[0].xmlAttributes.itemByName("href")!=null)
return true;

How to use FlashVars to initialize a Flex component?

Hi all,
I am trying to pass arguments dynamically from a JSP to an embedded Flex app using FlashVars. The values are being passed correctly, but when my Flex app is first initialized, the FlashVars have not been assigned yet. I need to use one of the FlashVars to set a property of one of my Flex components, but the FlashVars are null when the component is created. How can I do this? Do I have to wait until the Flex app has loaded before setting the attribute? How would I accomplish that? Thanks in advance for your help.

I was able to resolve this, so I thought I 'd share the answer in case someone else has a similar problem. Instead of declaring the component (which is also a DisplayObject) in MXML, I create it in the ActionScript method that gets called on the application's creationComplete method and set the property using the FlashVar at that point. Here's a quick example, using a custom class called MyDisplayObject and a FlashVar called myName:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="initVars()">
<mx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
                    private function initVars():void {
                         myName = Application.application.parameters.myName;
                         myDisplayObject:MyDisplayObject = new MyDisplayObject();
                         myDisplayObject.name = myName;
                         addChild(myDisplayObject);
               ]]>
</mx:Script>
