Localization issue: adding strings to locale swfs
We are currently building an application that hosts flex
modules within an ASPX application. We have a "homepage" that
allows users to configure which dialogs (we call them widgets) will
show on their homepage. At this point, we have had one resource
bundle (.properties file) that we have used for all of the strings.
We compile these resource bundles in the locale swfs for each of
the 8 langauges we support.
The twist is that we also allow customers to write "custom
widgets" in Flex that they can add to the homepage if they so
desire. It sounds like they could create a custom .properties file
which would allow us to create a seperate resource bundle for the
strings for their dialog. But then would the en-us.swf have to be
recreated to include their bundle in the overall swf? If so,
wouldn't the client have to have our "standard app" .properties
file to make one cumulative en-us.swf?
Or can you have multiple locale swfs for different dialigs
(ie Standard.us-en.swf and Custom.us-en.swf)? That way our standard
strings stay seperate, but the client can still add their own?
Anyone have any thoughts?
I think you can have separate locale swf. I think you can use
loadResourceModule() to load any resource swf. See FB3 help topics:

Issues adding swfs created in Flex to a Captivate project
The company I work with, ePath Learning Inc. has an online authoring tool called eActivity that we use to publish different eLearning templates. This online tool is built completely in Flex and uses the Flex compiler to ouput a swf file that can be used in many different products and online courses. Because it's an AS3/Flex created swf, we've had to wait for Captivate 4 to be released to support the generated swf file, so now we are testing it's compatibility and have run into some issues. It appears that swf files from our online authoring tool do not work correctly in Captivate. Further testing resulted in any swf published using Flex do not work properly in Captivate. Attempts at adding a swf file complied with Flex result in a variety of different errors as well as a performance issue causing the control bar as well as all other aspects of the Captivate project to work incorrectly.
I've attached 2 sample swf files, 1 built using our online authoring tool and 1 using Flex Builder 3. When added to a new blank project in Captivate 4 using AS3 settings we have the errors as explained above.Hi there
I just uploaded a small video to Jing. See if it helps you resolve the issue.

Issues importing XML photo gallery SWF in Catalyst
Hey everyone,
I'm creating a mini-site using Catalyst, and am trying to include a photo gallery on one of the pages. Problem is, the photo gallery uses XML, and grabs the photos from a folder. The photo gallery works great on its own, but when I import the gallery SWF into Catalyst and run it, nothing shows up. I've found a few posts saying to move the XML and other corresponding files into the "/Library/Application Support/ Adobe/Flash Catalyst/workspace/Project/bin-debug" folder, and tried it with no luck. I even tried publishing the project (both locally and to the web), and then adding the XML and photo folder in, but still didn't have any luck getting it to work. Has anyone had any similar issues/ have an idea of how to fix it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!I've been pointing people here for issues relating to xml driven swfs.

Also, in regards to the previous comment, the run-local will work on your machine, the deploy-to-web when you put the content on the internet. This post has a bit more information.

I recently added a new printer to a 2005 vintage PC that is running windows 7. It used to go through a router in my wifes upstairs office to the time capsule by wired ethernet (cat5) but when I added her new local printer thought I would network it, big mistaked, lost all my ethernet connection and she cannot get to the internet. Wireless not an option. How do i set up again the ethernet connection and i will only USB the printer locally this time for the windows pc?
Tried windows diagnostics, and besides telling me to reset everything and turn router off and on etc. I am in an endless loop.
Other Mac products are not impacted by this issue.I see no direct connection.. a printer and the computer setup for internet are not related.
But it sounds like the router in the wife's office is now in the wrong mode..
If you have an existing main router replace the second router for a switch .. that is the easy way.
Otherwise you need to bridge the router if it has that option.. most do not. Or use wan bypass.. where you turn off the dhcp server in the router and fix its ip to match the range of the main router.. this is the hassle of using router as a switch.
BUT I am making a huge number of assumptions.
What I need is the full network layout.. a quick picture would help.
I need main modem.. main router.. (maybe same box or different).. make model and current IP address and how dhcp is setup.
I need secondary router.. if that is what it is, IP and settings.
I want the printer type and model. How it is connected.
BTW I much prefer to see a network printer plugged into the network rather than usb.. it is only a matter of sorting the IP settings and driver pointing to the network rather than local.
Or you should think of it as a broken washing machine and call the technician.. who could fix the whole lot in an hour. -
Embedding local .swf file in AIR app
Hi all,
I want to include a small Google Maps .swf file as part of my overall HTML based AIR application and I was wondering whether anyone here has had any success in achieving this. Currently, my set up looks like this:
AIR xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5">

When I open my air app, I don't get any error messages and it appears that the swf is not loaded at all.
When I switch my AIR .xml file to point to the GMapsController.swf file instead of the gmaps2.html file, it works perfectly - this gives me the impression that there's either:
1. Something wrong with including a WindowedApplication in a HTML file.
2. Something wrong with including a local .swf file in HTML based application.
I've tried referencing the .swf file in the html file from a remote server with the following:
<div id="map_canvas" name="map_canvas">

</div>
but no luck with that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
SeanBrandon,
Thanks for the link - I wasn't aware about the HTML Loader class and how it relates to loading Google Maps. I'm not using the HTML loader class though, so I'm not sure how it relates to the issue I'm having.
I'm currently following the advice outlined at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS4B441C24-BAE3-4110-91FD-A4E5EEFB2467.htm l where the SWF object is loaded through JavaScript, but I haven't had any luck with it yet. I'm pretty new to Flex/Flash/AIR applications - I'm starting to think it could be something simple wrong with my .mxml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<maps:Map xmlns:maps="com.google.maps.*" id="map" mapevent_mapready="onMapReady(event)" width="100%" height="100%"
url="http://my.server.com" key="CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC"/>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import com.google.maps.LatLng;
import com.google.maps.Map;
import com.google.maps.MapEvent;
import com.google.maps.MapType;
private function onMapReady(event:Event):void {
this.map.setCenter(new LatLng(40.736072,-73.992062), 14, MapType.NORMAL_MAP_TYPE);
public function setLocation(lat:Number, long:Number):void {
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:WindowedApplication>
I've tried creating a different .mxml file from the code outlined http://www.mikechambers.com/blog/2007/11/07/air-example-native-drag-and-drop/ (just as an example), just to make sure that the problems I'm having are not related in any way to the Google Maps API for Flash. Even with this second .mxml file, I still haven't had any luck in getting the swf content to load locally from the HTML file. However, if I set the content element in the AIR .xml file to look like this:
<content>DragAndDropExample.swf</content>
... it works as expected.
So, this has started me thinking that you cannot include a .swf file which has a base tag of WindowedApplication in a HTML based application? Can anyone confirm that this thinking is correct?
Has anyone here managed to load .swf content in a HTML based application using the code outlined at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS4B441C24-BAE3-4110-91FD-A4E5EEFB2467.htm l?

Flex 3 locale swf loading bug on firefox
Hi all
I REALLY need your help here
if anyone knows this bug or have any idea how to deal with it, it would really mean a lot to me
i've been tring everything
description:
i'm building an application using flex 3, where all texts are being localized via the locale loaded at runtime
i suspect that for some reason the locale swf i'm loading isn't updating elements of the page
as you can see in the image below, texts appear cut off.
this happens to me only in firefox, no matter which page of the app is being displayed
any ideas?
appreciate your time in answering
Yariv GiladHello and thank you for your quick answer
the text is indeed right, and what you say make sense to me
how can i proceed from here though?
how can i fix the "sizing and positioning problem" ?
the UI components are there and are being populated dynamically through the locale
is there a way to force them to update?
is this the right direction at all?
any other ideas?
just to note that if i hard-code the text into the components they are rendered perfectly
so i don't see a reason to change their position or size...
thank you for your time
Yariv Gilad -
I jumped on my parents computer, which is on a domain. I added a new local user(with my live.com login) and gave it admin status. That's when the trouble began.
The main user profile disappeared. I used the command prompt fix (see other fixes) to add the missing user back into admin. I logged back in, and it set up the account for the first time (WTF?). I cannot access any files from the main account
(that I logged into just fine before to get this debacle started.)
When going to Local Computer Management --> System Tools, my users and groups tool is missing.
I ran lusrmgr.msc only to find out that the most current version of Windows 8.1 and this is what it said "This snapin may not be used with this edition of Windows 8.1. To manage user accounts for this computer, use the User Accounts tool in the
Control Panel." <---- Awesome! (that was sarcasm.)
I have spent over two hours in the User Account tool during the course of this problem only to prove that a picture of a computer is more useful that that "tool".
To anyone reading this ticket, the best advice I can offer you (as long as its not a crucial machine) is to back up what you can gain access to, format your hard-drive and reinstall windows and start over again. I wouldn't recommend reinstalling 8.1,
I would say go back to 7 and wait until 10 comes out. Windows 8 is the new Vista. Good luck!Hello AhavahOlam,
I can understand your feelings.
If my understanding is right, after adding a new local user in domain-joined Windows 8.1, you can’t open the local users and groups.
Can you still add account by going to Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts\Manage Accounts?
As this computer is domain-based, it is recommended to contact the domain administrator to see if the option is blocked.

Loading local swf files from Application Dir (ios)
Hi Guys,
I would like to load additional local swf files to my ios release build but I am confused a little bit because of the new API changes.
As far as I know at the moment (from Air 3.7 or newer) it is allowed to load local swf files that contains compiled actionscript both from local folder and from a predefined remote host as well.
My assumption based on this article:
http://blogs.adobe.com/airodynamics/2013/03/08/external-hosting-of-secondary-swfs-for-air- apps-on-ios/
I created the text file to include all of my local swf file names and created the following node in the application.xml:
<iPhone>
<externalSwfs>assets/SampleSWFInfoFile.txt</externalSwfs>
</iPhone>
When I compile the release build (ipa) using command line adt, it converts all of my local swfs into the stripped swfs which is perfect, but even though I include all the swfs in the compiler command, it puts only the SampleSWFInfoFile.txt file into the assets folder in the ipa but not the swf files.
I assume, it thinks I will load these files from an external host, but I would like to include them in the app itself.
I tried to copy the stripped swf files from the externalStrippedSwfs folder and comment the <externalSwfs>assets/SampleSWFInfoFile.txt</externalSwfs> node in the application.xml and compile it and this way it puts the swf files into the ipa, but when I try to install and launch the app it crashes and when I test it using Flash Builder it shows an error message
"VerifyError: Error #1042: Not an ABC file."
Do any of you guys know the solution for this problem?
Thank you for your help in advance!You're publishing in AOT mode as long as you use one of these:
The AIR Developer Tool or ADT has targets that lets you package apps either for the AOT mode or Interpreter mode. The targets for packaging in AOT mode are ipa-app-store, ipa-ad-hoc, ipa-test and ipa-debug.
Flash Pro CS6 and Flash Builder automate this process pretty well so it's invisible but the SWF loads and executes code just fine for me when directly published.
If I take it to command line I can use this to compile successfully (iPad test app):
adt -package -target ipa-ad-hoc -storetype pkcs12 -keystore my.p12 -provisioning-profile my.mobileprovision NameOfApp.ipa NameOfApp-app.xml NameOfApp.swf iTunesArtwork iTunesArtwork@2x AppIconsForPublish swfs/swfs.txt swfs/GenerateText.swf
I at least include generic icons in there but I made a 'swfs' folder and placed 'swfs.txt' and 'GenerateText.swf' in there. The SWF uses code to randomly generate text and changes every second using a Timer. I load it in using the same code you do with the ApplicationDomain.currentDomain context. I see the SWF appear and text start randomly changing.
As I compile there's a folder generated called 'externalStrippedSwfs' with the stripped SWF in there.
One thing to note is I do not supply <externalSwfs>swfs/swfs.txt</externalSwfs> in my iPhone settings. If I do that it doesn't work. I supply the path to the text file containing the SWF I want to be stripped to adt itself along with the SWFs I want stripped and it takes care of the rest. -

Would someone be so kind to point me at the right address for general Mac localization issues?
The problem is with Croatian keyboard and "@" sign - not just on iMacs, but on all Macs and MacBooks.
I thinik I have tried all official ways to sort out the problem, but no luck so far. Maybe some users from other small countries have experience in similar situations? How to get attention from Apple on this issue if you live in a small country like Croatia?Well, our problem in Croatia is that there is no "@" sign printed on our keyboards!
The problem is super-simple to solve, but just needs a few words at the right department! It's a huge annoyance that new Mac users can't find "@" on our keyboard beacuse it's not marked - and it's just because Apple uses the same ancient Croatian layout as on first 80es Mac computers when first localization took place and when there was no email and the Internet! Unbelievable but true!
Sure, it's not a problem for an old Mac user, but every single PC switcher ask the same question: "Where is @ sign???". Also, you can't get your new Mac up'n'running if you don't fill in the Registration form at the first start - and you can't do that because you can't type in your email without "@"!
Do I have to mention that Croatian schools can't use Macs because of it? It is required that keyboard has our Croatian letters and all needed symbols - and that is not the case.
After over 5 years of complaining about this problem I got to the Apple Europe representative and he said: "We are aware about this problem and working to address it." That was 8 months ago and many new Mac products are out since then... but still no "@" on our keyboards. -

Spry Tabbed Pannels issue: adding new divs disrupting widget
I am having issues adding divs to the existing html framework of the .TabbedPannel div. Once I add additional divs, the content for each individual tab is displayed in one long pannel. I think once I added the new divs, the javascript was messed up. I'm a newb when it comes to javascript. does someone have advice for this issue?
Note, once I added the ".b" ".l" ".r" class divs, the pannels got all messed up.Hi,
As you are already aware, this is where it goes wrong:
<div class="TabbedPanelsContentGroup" >
<div class="b"><div class="l"><div class="r">
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent" id="derek">
If you want to assign different CSS rules to your content-panel, then why not apply those rules as follows:
<div class="TabbedPanelsContentGroup" >
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent b l r" id="derek">
Also you can apply CSS rules within the TabbedPanelsContent-div to suit your needs.
I hope this helps.

Issues adding friends to iChat, please help!!
I am having issues adding friends on ichat. I can enter their emails but it doesn't notify them on their computer that I added them. How do I fix this?
Hi,
iChat uses Screen Names (with AIM and can be email in style)
Jabber Names/IDs look like emails as well but with Googletalk, FaceBook and Jabber Australia being the few exceptions I know of.
AIM Names when registered look like an email ([email protected]) but you do not need the @AIM.com suffix when adding them as a Buddy.
(Apple IDs of @mac.com and @me.com do need the relevant suffix)
It would help if we knew what type of Buddy List you were adding these to and what sort of "Email address" they are.

I am having an issue adding a user calendar.
In the Workgroup manager if I enable calendaring it seems to allow me to select the host and save it, but if I come back later it is still deselected.
Note: all users and groups have access to all services at the moment, and the web calendar is enabled for their group. The DNS seems to be working fine - the Wiki works without a problem, so does AFP, and Open Directory logins.
Any help would be appreciated.Wish I had some luck on this.
I changed over the OSX server to handle DNS - which works fine -just in case that had any bearing, but no luck as yet - it still refuses to enable calendaring for any user. -
Local swfs disappear on NTSC video desktop
Has anyone run into this? I am on a PPC Mac OS 10.4.11 and I
have two monitors, a Cinema Display and a NTSC monitor (Blackmagic
video card) that I also use as an extended desktop. I create local
swfs and play them with Flash Player and drag them over to the
desktop to view on the NTSC monitor. After I updated to CS3 I
notice now that any swf I publish and drag over to the NTSC
monitor/desktop immediately turns to white. I've tried all settings
and tested simple swfs with just simple graphics and it happens
with all of them. Is this a bug? My swfs that I created in CS2
display correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.The "Load" would look for previously used (and saved) filter adjustments. Obviously, you don't have any.
In the Movie Settings window Filters dialog you'll find a three panel display. On the bottom (left) is the first frame of your file to use as a "preview" of the adjustments.
On the left side you'll see the "filters" that you can choose from. Click the small disclosure arrow to open the list of filters for that particular item and you'll see the first frame of the file "change" in the preview just below.
The right side of the window displays all of the adjustments.
If the window is too small to view drag the lower right corner to enlarge it. In the 3 part dialog window you'll see two small "dimples" that you can drag to adjust their size.
Maybe you are looking for
