Installing Flex "Components"

I noticed that many people much more experienced in Flex/AS3
coding have been building their own Flex components and offering
them up on the web for download. The Fisheye Component on Quietly
Scheming is a prime example.
http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/components/fisheye-component/
This is a great looking component and I would really like to
get this running on my own system but I’ve never been able to
import these kinds of components into Flex Builder and make them
work (they always have errors). Can anyone explain to me (a compete
noob) how this “importing” process works. Even just a
link to some kind of tutorial at this point would be great. This is
really frustrating me! I know this has got to be simple but I just
can't figure it out.
Thanks,
Mike

Usually you get a number of mxml- or as-files. For those
cases I have a dummy project, where I include them. I right-click
on the source and choose "run as flex application". This way I get
to compile and run them. Usually that works just fine.
In this particular case the author published a whole project.
With "File -> Import -> existing projects ..." you can
include this project. Unfortunately the author wrote some absolute
paths in the .projects etc. I deleted those but flex didn't notice
my changes - even after "clear"ing the project.
Therefore I started a new project and installed the
downloaded files manually. Now I was able to compile it - but all I
get is a dark screen. :-(
Next step is to debug that piece. You might want to take
over!

FlashBuilder: Android/Flex Components+Full Screen Graphic possible?

I'm new to flash and interested in multi-platform graphical game development.
I've installed the Flash Builder Burrito test version and want to develop
a full screen Android graphical game with Android-Flex components
(like buttons etc.).
a)
Is it possible to have a full graphical screen and then overlay
Android-Flex components (buttons etc.) or ist only possible
to integrate a graphical screen within a Flex components app
so that Android/Flex components have to been outside the screen
and so no full graphical screen overlayed with Android/Flex
components is possible?
b)
If full graphical screen + Android/Flex components is possible:
which project type have I to choose:
File->New->Flex Project or File->New->ActionScript Mobile Project?
c)
Are the components I can choose to design my Flash-Android project
Android-like Flex components or are they real Android components?

a) yes you can
b) Flex Mobile Project
c) Those are Flex components
If you are creating a game for an Android device I would rather do it with Actionscript. The Flex "Hero" Framework for Mobile is great, but in my opinion laid out for applications not for games. Still you can use parts of it, but if you only lists, buttons and that kind of component then I would rather write them up in AS3.

Service Deployment Fails on "Install VM components"

I've been having an issue trying to deploy a basic service. It fails on the "Install VM components" step. I'm using VMM 2012R2 and this originally happened with a Hyper-V host of Server 2008R2 and then again with Server 2012R2. The error is
Error (22042)
The service Base 2012 Test was not successfully deployed. Review the event log to determine the cause and corrective actions.
Recommended Action
The deployment can be restarted by retrying the job.
Error (12710)
VMM does not have appropriate permissions to access the Windows Remote Management resources on the server ( <HVserver>.<company>.com).
Unknown error (0x80338105)
Recommended Action
1) Ensure that the Windows Remote Management (WS-Management) service is running on the server (<HVserver>.<company>.com).
2) If the System Center Virtual Machine Manager service on your VMM management server is configured to run by using the machine account, ensure that there is not a group policy that does not allow adding machine accounts to a computer's Administrators group. If there is, you can use one of the following workarounds:
- Disable the group policy in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)
- Modify the group policy to allow the VMM machine account in the Administrators group
- Move the machine account to its own organizational unit (OU) and block the group policy from being applied
- Reinstall the VMM management server and choose the option to run the System Center Virtual Machine Manager service by using a domain account, and re-add all of your virtual machines.
VMM is running as system but the machine account was added to the administrators group for the Hyper-V server. There's no group policy that would prevent this and I can launch Powershell from from VMM server as System and "Enter-PSSession" to the
Hyper-V host as the machine account. I've also moved the Hyper-V host to an OU with no group policy just to rule anything out there and it still fails at the same spot.
Any suggestions on what I should try next?
EDIT: Also, I can deploy from a VM template fine, but it doesn't look like a VM template uses the "Install VM Components" step.

I was just able to get it working on mine on a VMMR2 Cluster (hyper-v on 2012 and 2012 R2 hosts with the same success) and the Service Template using a VM template with Server 2008R2 Enterprise. I don't know if you did the same steps but:
created a fresh VM in VMM - install Virtual Guest Services.
convert that VM to a VM Template - VMM then copies the VM files to a location on your VMM Library.
create Service template using the new VM template - with no services.
I've had problems in the past with trying to convert a VM to a template, and the VM would fail at the 'Fix up differencing disks' .. It wasn't until I did a fresh install instead of trying to convert a VM copy of a copy of a copy of a V2V migration..
Mine completes successfully but with an error couldn't install Virtual Guest Services when they are already installed. hmmm.. The VM/Service is running fine however.
---------------------------- Error I got -------------------------------
Error (13233)
Unable to install Virtual Guest Services on virtual machine TEST_SERVICE. The Hyper-V Integration Services setup exited with error code 60001.
Recommended Action
For more information, refer to the Hyper-V documentation for virtual machine integration services at

Installing Flex SDK into Flash Builder 4.7 problems

Hi,
Im completely new to Flash Builder, today I have installed Flash Builder 4.7 & Flash CS6 from Creative Cloud for my son to start to learn game programming (with my help), I have used simple coding in web design however this terminology is new to me.
I bought my son the latest 'Foundation Game Design with ActionScript 3.0' book on recommendation but it was written when FB was version 4.5 so im guessing this might be the problem.
The book is very easy to follow but have hit problems at the beginning of the tutorials, the book talks about Flex SDK but it seems that FB 4.7 uses AIR SDK ?
So the first project called HelloWorld, we got up to:
Got an exclamation mark which said
'The import flash.display.Sprite is not used
locally'
Continuing with the rest of the project the exclamation mark disappeared:
However on selecting run- Debug we got a blank Flash Player window ('generate HTML wrapper file' was deselected)
So either we've done something wrong, or the book and FB version are not compatible?
Any advice would be great!
Thank you
Latest ...
I thought that installing Flex SDK may solve the problem but after following instructions I have the error message, see image below. Really stumped now!

Sorry, if I went a little overboard. After re-reading your post, perhaps I should back up a little.
First, there are little things that Flash Builder (FB) will complain about. Having extra import statements in your code doesn't hurt anything. If I'm trying different solutions and then commenting out the code, the import statements will hang around, FB will complain, but just ignore it. If you see a little icon on the left edge of your code editor and its a red circle with an X in it, then that is something that will have to be fixed.
When you create an app in FB or Flash you can choose to create a web app which means it will run in a browser window. The project can optionally create an HTML wrapper, or web page that will load your app. In Flash Pro you can choose File->Publish Settings and there will be a checkbox on the left to publish a HTML wrapper. In FB, you can right click your project in the Package Explorer, select Properties at the bottom, select the ActionScript Compiler, and down at the bottom there will be a checkbox to create a HTML wrapper.
If you're just learning Flash Builder, then the FlexSDK 4.6 and the AIR SDK 3.1 that comes with it should be fine. You mentioned Apache SDK and I'd recently been working with that so I ended up getting side-tracked.
Getting an AIRSDK to work with when build ActionScript projects is easy. Just go to the adobe site, type AIR SDK in the search box, and you should find a page that will let you downloaded the latest version. There's also a page to let you download the latest AIR runtime, and if you were just going to run AIR apps and not build them, then that's all you would need. As a developer you'll want to install the runtime from the downloaded .exe file. With the SDK, after downloading it, installing it is easy. Just create a new folder an unzip the SDK into it, then place it somewhere easy to find. I put all my SDK's in their own directory right off the c: drive. So I have c:\AIRSDK_3.5.0.880 and c:\AIRSDK_3.7.0.1530. I use very descriptive folder names so I always know which SDK's I have to work from.
To use the SDK in Flash Pro select Help -> Manage AIR SDK, hit the plus button and add the folder you created. Now when you've opened a Flash project, you go to File->Publish Settings and select the combo box at the top, you'll see options like 'AIR 3.7.0.1530 for Android' in the list that reflect the SDK's you've added.
Generally with FB you'll be using a FlexSDK, or perhaps a FlexSDK overlaid with a newer version of AIRSDK. Overlaid basically means you copied the contents of the AIR SDK into the Flex Folder. The article I mentioned above will give you all the details on creating those. For instance, I downloaded the Apache Flex installer, installed it, then created an empty folder called c:\ApacheFlexSDK_4.9.1, launched the Apache installer, gave it the new empty folder I'd created, selected all the download options, and let it all download. If it launches a popup box or a security warning, you can allow it, and it will continue. Once you have the SDK and you want to use it with a project in FB, just right click the project, select Properties, selected that Compiler tab again, and up in the right corner you'll see 'Manage SDK's...'. Hit that link, add your new SDK to the list and give it a descriptive name, then selected the checkbox beside it to set it up as your default. If you do this, then all your projects set to use the default will automatically switch to it and rebuild. So if you want a project to stay with a specific SDK then select that option in your Compiler tab, and then you could use the combo box to select your new added SDK.
When I started with FB I think I spent the first 2 days going round and round with project settings and options until I got them all figured out.
When I develop, I usually have my browser open and I have bookmarks and favorites to let me quickly get to all the pages I use most often. Here are a few of them:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/index.html <---- The API reference. In the packages window check out 'Top Level' at the top and Language Elements near the bottom. I think I have this page open in one or more tabs almost every day.

How to install Flex SDK in IBM RAD?

Hi All,
I'm new to Flex and facing some trouble in installing flex 4.6 sdk in my existing IBM RAD application.
There are few flex files that are included in the new release and I need to work on those files (test/debug) to make sure that existing application is not affected with these files.
I have installed Flash Player and latest Flash Builder 4.0 and 4.6 plugin on my system for this purpose.
The Flex SDK, however, I'm not able to configure on my RAD.
Because of this, I'm not able to see the Flex Prespectives in my RAD and mxml & as files are giving error in text editor.
Please guide -
1. How to configure the latest Flex 4.6 SDK in RAD.
2. Apart from what I have done already, do I need to do anything else to debug/test the newly added flex files in my RAD.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Thanks for your great reply i greatly appreciate you efforts.
Arie the thing is that i saw the post you mentioned above and it's kind of tangled,isn't there anyway or any sourceful website for step by step guide because i already mentioned that i am a brand new c/c++ programmer and i have no experience how to do programming in c/c++ as i am android and java developer using eclipse tool so visual studio is somewhat a new world for me.
Please if you have any step by step guidence link or website in your mind,do let me know i anxiously look forward for a step by step guide,but let's say if you don't have anything i want it's perfectly fine i ll try to dig more and work and look in VS 2010 because may be i am new and that's why i can't find the SDK integration.
Once again Arie thanks for your helpful and fast reply i greatly appreciate your co-operation.
Thanks,
Brian

Flex components not working after upgrade to Flash Builder 4

I just purchased Flash Builder 4 and imported my project from Flex Builder 3. Everything worked except my Flex components that were created in Flash Professional using the Flex Compoent Kit are not showing up at all in my Flex app. The components were created in Flash CS3 and published to an SWC. I even tried upgrading to Flash Professional CS5 and re-publishing but that didn't help. These components work fine in Flex Builder 3 with Flex SDK 3.2. Does anyone know why they aren't showing up in Flash Builder 4 using Flex SDK 4.1 and AIR 2.5 SDK? I need this to work with AIR SDK 2.5 so I can compile for Android. Thanks, Ryan.

P.S. when I say they aren't showing up I mean they aren't visible in the running application. Flash Builder is finding them in the SWC though because I instantiate the components in my mxml file and it compiles without errors. - Ryan

Installing Flex 4 SDK on Eclipse IDE

Hi,
I want to use Eclipse IDE with Flex 4 SDK but am unable to do so. I have looked at various blog posts & threads dealing with the same, most of them are obsolete(in the sense posted way back in 2005/07 with very old Eclipse releases) or I am not getting the desired results.
The links I have referred to are below-

http://blog.wezside.co.za/2008/01/complete-starter-guide-to-develop-flash.html
I have tried the trial of Adobe Flex Builder & it was really a painless job to get going. But right now I cannot afford a license of the same so I am looking at open source alternatives.
Can anyone help the newbies like me by giving a brief walkthrough regarding installing Flex SDK on Eclipse, it would be of great help.
Thanks in advance,
Raghav

I was disappointed with the kind of response from a forum like this to an amateur like me.
I found a way around, decided not to use Eclipse at all with Flex SDK. Instead I am using Flash Develop which is a free IDE specific for Flash & Flex and integrating Flex SDK is pretty easy in that. Provided a very good feature set for a free software. Anyone stuck with this problem I suggest to go ahead with FlashDevelop instead of trying to figure out Eclipse. It is available for download here

Help installing Flex SDK 4.1 on Flex Builder 3 properly

Flex Builder 3 comes with SDK for 2.0.1 and 3.2 by default, so I want to add Flex SDK 4.1
I downloaded it, made a directory in the Flex Builder 3 sdks folder, and unzipped the contents there.
After adding it and selecting/checking it on Flex Builder, I tried to use it by running a project I was using with 3.2 and I get the error below:
unable to open 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\4.1.0\frameworks\libs\player\9.0\playerglobal.swc'
What do I need to do or didn't do?

Hi,
You can not use SDK 4.1 in flex builder 3. You need to purchase Flash Builder 4 or use free SDK 4.1 in eclipse.

Displaying unicode or HTML escaped characters from HTTPService in Flex components.

Here is a solution on the Flex Cookbook I developed for
displaying data in Flex components when the data comes back from
HTTPService as unicode of HTML escaped data:
Displaying
unicode or HTML escaped characters from HTTPService in Flex
components.

Hi again Greg,
I have just been adapting your idea for encountering
occasional escaped characters within a body of "normal" text, eg
something like
hellô sun&scaron;ine
Now, the handy String.fromCharCode(charCode) call works a
dream if instead of the above I have
hellô sunšine
Do you know if there is an equivalent call that takes the
named entities rather than the numeric ones? Clearly I can just do
some text substitution to get the mapping, but this means rather
more by-hand work than I had hoped. However, this is definitely a
step in a useful direction for me.
Thanks,
Richard
PS hoping that the web page won't simply outguess me and
replace all the above! Basically, the first line uses named
entities and the second the equivalent numbers...

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 you debug the individual Flex components?

How do you debug the individual Flex components?

Personally, I think your alternative is the easier solution. Basically have your main app output some kind of "heartbeat" signal like a constantly updating timestamp. It could be outputed to a simple txt file, or you could just output it to a front panel indicator, and then have your "watchdog" app check the value using VI Server.
I don't know how to check CPU usage, but I am guessing you could use some .NET calls to this namespace:

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:

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.

How to find the installed oracle components( oci , occi) versions?

Hi,
could you please help me to find out the version of installed oracle components?
ex: which version of OCCI installed?
one way is using OUI gui tool.
I also got this info from oracle inventory file.
under $ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML/comps.xml
But is there any best way or command to look for the same.
Thanks,
Krish

The "best way" almost certainly depends on why you're looking for the information and what tool(s) you're using.
If you're asking a human being to get the information, the OUI is generally going to be "better". If you're writing a program to get the information, parsing the inventory XML is likely to be "better".
If you have multiple Oracle Homes on a single machine (particularly Oracle Homes with different major Oracle releases), though, or you have various failed/ incomplete/ obsolete installations on various machines, or if you're trying to figure out which version of the libraries would actually get used when a particular application starts up (assuming there are multiple applications on the machine), things start to get rather trickier.
