Loading external themes for my flex 4 application.

Hello.
I created a flex application and i created some themes using adobe flash.
when the flex application is running i want it to load a default theme and allow the user to switch themes
while running the application. each time is in a seperate swf file.
what is the recommended method to create the themes?
the method that i know of is to convert the symbols to flex components and publish the flash file and swc,
loading it into my application and then i can use it's components.
when i merge the swc file into the code (Link Type: merge into code) i can use the flex component i created and everything works fine.
the problem is that i want the swc to be loaded on runtime and to be able to load/unload.
Link Type: External - wasn't very useful. when i use any component i just get a blank screen with no errors.
                                maybe it means that the definition is there so i just need to load the module, so i tried to unzip the swc file,
                                place the swf file on the web and loading it with the Loader(). i still see a blank screen.
Link Type: Runtime Shared Library (RSL) - is not an option, because i want to be able to load and unload the modules on-the-fly.
Flex module:
Another option was a creating a flex module that loads the assets of the swc file and then to use this module,
the problem is that i found examples on how to load a module if it's a container of some sort and to display it on the screen,
i did not find a mothod to actually load different assets from that module and use them.
so as you can see i'm pretty lost here.
i would guess that using 'Link Type:External' is what i need i just don't know how to load the swc file properly afterwards, but who knows!
thanks for your assistance!

  • I am looking for a load testing tool for my flex application

    I am looking for a load testing tool for my flex application having a limited budghet of 1000-1500$. I have gone through NEOLoad,WebUiLoad all are very expensive.

    Do you have iPad 1 or 2?
    You can connect iPad 1 via a VGA adapter to any projector with a VGA input (all projectors have this).
    You can connect iPad 2 via VGA or HDMI.
    I like Epson or Sony for projectors.

  • Can you call external exe file from Flex Air Application like notepad.exe

    Im trying to make my Air Application open an External exe file anyone know if this can be done?

    Hi,
    If you want to share code between a flex app and AIR, you
    could isolate the common bits as a swc file and link to the swc
    from both the flex and air project.
    Also, you could have the flex mxml file and air mxml file
    load the same module (which has the same stuff as your original
    flex application) using ModuleLoader.
    Or, you could even load the swf of your flex application
    using SWFLoader in your air mxml file.
    Basically, check out creating flex libraries, modules and
    runtime loading of swfs.

    Hi Naddy,
    What you used is one way and even I failed when tried that method,
    Instead go to SE38 - WD_THEMES - and you need to upload the zip file and you need to follow a folder structure.
    it is case sensitive, atleast the zip file.
    Make a zip file by name "Project.zip" -
    Create a Folder Project and have the below folder structure,
    1  data - all the properties files and also the designinfo file, below is the code
    2  themes - (to get all the files download the theme from portal and you will have all the folders)
       2.1  ur
         2.1.1 name of the theme
           2.1.1.1 common
           2.1.1.2 csf
           2.1.1.3  r
           2.1.1.4  ur - all the css files (would be good if you can get the files from the server.)
           2.1.1.5   WSRP
    3  war - empty folder
    *.designinfo
    isVisible=true
    version=7.0.14.1.0
    isDefault=false
    isSapDesign=false
    designName=**** name of the theme
    Once done create a zip file and click on Start Import and give the path and will ask for transport request, it will take a while to upload once done as mentioned in the use the parameter sap-ep-themeroot="path"
    This will resolve the issue.
    Cheers-

  • Is it possible to Load External SWF files into Flex Mobile projects?

    Hi Guys,
    I'm trying to load an external asset in this cse (a SWF file) into my flex project (Apple IOS IPAD), don't get any luck. Can any one suggest a solution ?

    In Apple's words, "No interpreted code may be downloaded or used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple's Documented APIs and built-in interpreter(s)".
    Hence external swfs cannot be loaded in iOS.

  • Pre-loading external images for XML-based gallery

    I'm working-on an XML-based photo gallery here:
    http://www.unionandparkwood.com/demo/flash_gallery/
    It works how I want it, except that the first time a
    thumbnail is clicked for an image, it pauses long enough to skip
    the fade. If you click-through the images a second time, you'll see
    that it works smoothly. My guess is that the first time the
    thumbnail is clicked, the image isn't cached, yet.
    I tried to fix this by creating a JavaScript file for the
    page to pre-load each image and thumbnail:
    0003a = new Image;
    0003a.src = "images/Down-Range.jpg";
    0003b = new Image;
    0003b.src = "thumbnails/Down-Range.jpg";
    But that didn't work. What would be the best way to do this?
    I included a link to "Download ZIP" of the FLA project on
    this page, too, because it wouldn't be easy for me to describe
    what's happening. In a nutshell, a thumbnail click launches a
    function that loads the appropriate image into the main image
    holder. What seems to be happening the first time is the image
    isn't loaded before the fade is finished, so the image just appears
    after a short pause the first time.

    >>What seems to be happening the first time is the
    image isn't loaded before
    >>the fade is finished, so the image just appears after
    a short pause the
    >>first time.
    As has been said many times in thos forum - use the
    MovieClipLoader class to
    load images, and then use that class' onLoadInit method to do
    things with
    the loaded image. Loading is asynchronous - you _have_ to
    wait until the
    image is done loading before doing a fade.

  • Designing for Flash/Flex application

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create multiple themes for a flex application. It seems as though Flash is the best way to do that given the workflow. I'm looking for a Flex/Flash template within flash. I'd like to take the .Fla and edit it and export the .swc. I swear there was a folder in Flash with templates for this process. Can anyone tell me where those templates are?
    Also, does this workflow make sense, when trying to update the look and feel every few months? I can use PS for example, but I'd like to avoid bitmaps where I can.
    I'm using CS5 on a mac.
    Thanks

    You should definitely check out some online tutorials on design in FB4.5, such as Lee Brimelow's tutorials on "blitting" and skins/styles in Flex ("Intro to Flex: Part 3"):

  • Oracle Apex Multilpe Theme for a single application

    Hi All,
    I have a query regarding display multiple theme for a single apex application. My object is to change the color scheme for an existing apex application and use both old and new color scheme in a single application. For example I'm planning to modify apex 3.1 theme 9 (Red theme) to green and wants to use red theme for some pages and green theme for some other pages in same application.
    The following steps I have tried.
    1. Copied /theme/theme_9 to my local
    2. Changed color scheme of all the images.
    3. Renamed my local folder name from theme_9 to theme_9_1
    4. Moved my new folder to server path /theme/theme_9_1
    Now I went to my application which have theme 9 and copied One Tab page template as One Tab Template 9.1. In my new page template I changed all the the /theme_9/ reference to /theme_9_1. In my application I applied this new page template to get green color scheme. But its appearing without any css scheme (even default style is not there).
    So Please help me out to resolve my issue. and also suggest me if you have any other easy way to achieve my objective.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You steps look okay to me, so not sure why you're CSS isn't working, I would need to see your actual templates to find out (perhaps you could put this up on apex.oracle.com). Just a few general pointers though, I would suggest using one of the newer themes, introduced in APEX 4.0 and APEX 4.1. Those themes are mostly DIV based, i.e. fewer HTML tables for formatting, and as a result, they are much smaller. They also use a DOCTYPE, prompting all modern browser to render your pages in standards more, ensuring better cross-browser compatibility. And most relevant for your task, they no longer use theme-specific class names, i.e. a class called "t9header", would now simply be "header". They also generally reference images directly from the CSS stylesheet, rather than inside your templates, making it much easier to modify your UI. So in essence, assuming you'd be using theme 21, all you'd have to do to switch from a red-look to (in this case) a blue-look, would be to reference the theme CSS file in /themes/theme_22, instead of /themes/theme_21, so in your templates, you would only need to change one path in your page templates.

  • Load external images

    Im wanting to make a photo gallery that I can update easy, I
    thought if I could have a movieclip load external images for my
    thumbnails it would be nice but Im not sure how to set it up. I
    would make a file for my images and then another for my thumbnails,
    then if or when I want to switch out pictures I'd just have to drop
    new images into my folders and not even touch the FLA. Could anyone
    point me in the right direction with the right action script to use
    or a tutorial that explains how this is done..
    And when I say load external I want it so I dont have to
    click on the image for it to load, I want it to just load
    automatically , I would put an invisible button or something to
    that efect over the images for a animated effect.
    Thanks for your help.

    I don't know if you are super enthusiastic about building it,
    or if you just want the utility. If the later is the case, I just
    purchased (cheap) a really great product that does all of what you
    want, fairly automatically, including scaling large pictures down
    to smaller size so that they load quickly.
    I am not sure of the policy of recommending third-party
    applicatons here. So, if you are interested, send an email (private
    message) to me and I will show you the simple site I put together
    using it and where to get it.

  • Including External JARs for Java Application in OC4J

    Hi Experts,
    Here is my requirement.
    I have developed my Java application using Tomcat Server & Eclipse. In my application I have used some External JARs & imported the classes in my JSP.
    Now that I'm using OC4J Server instead of Tomcat I'v no clue as to where I have copy these External JARs for my application to work.
    I have installed OBIEE-Client which includes OC4J server. The path where I have placed my application is as below
    *"C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app"*
    If I run my application the server does not import the classes in the JSP which we include using Import statement using JSP tags (*ex* - <%@ page import = "org.apache.commons.fileupload.*"%>).
    This is the location which I found, where I need to put my Java-J2EE application. This OC4J_BI comes with OBIEE.
    Kindly help me out on where to place these External JARs exact location in OC4J.
    Also let me know if I have to alter any configuration/xml file (if so pls specify the file name & its location).
    Thanks in advance,
    Venky

    You can either include the external libraries in the application, by placing them into WEB-INF/lib, or you can import them into the server as "shared libraries", normally you'd use the "enterprise manager" application to do this. Having loaded a shared library you then add it to the classpath when you're deploying the application.
