Searching the Flex General Discussion returns cf error

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone from Adobe can help me out here because if
I enter a search into the Search field in the general discussion, I
get a cold fusion error . If necessary I can send a screenshot of
what I get, but I can't seem to search the 'Flex General
Discussion' for anything without getting an error telling me to
contact the website administrator, of which I have no idea who that
is, or how to find them on the site.
I'm a designer/devloper who works alone and I really depend
on these resources to help me along when I need help, but not being
able to search the forum is becoming a real problem.
If this type of post should be done somewhere else, I
apologize, but I have no idea how to contact the site administrator
for the Flex Developer Center.
Thanks in advance

I always use the Advanced Search, which sort of works.

Seeking general tutorial for iMac, iPad, iPhone

I have been using Apple for the past 2 years, but I do have some spare time available right now, so I'm wondering if there is some kind of general tutorial process which would help me get better organized, and not waste effort needlessly, if I can learn to understand the sync tools available for our iPad2, iPhone4S, and iMac (2009, Intel, and 24-inch).
For example, I type in appointments onto my iPhone4S, and I'm still trying to figure out how to sync it up with the iCal on our dekstop iMac. I think that I would feel more organized if I could really understand how to use these apps and

in case you have not done iCloud, you can use blue tooth. I opened Finder and used the Help box in the menu to find this:
To turn on Bluetooth:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Bluetooth.
Select the On checkbox. To allow other Bluetooth enabled devices to “discover” your computer and send files, also select the Discoverable checkbox.
Select “Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar” so you can quickly send files and perform other actions using the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.
HideTo send files using Bluetooth:
Choose Send File from the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.If the Bluetooth menu isn’t visible, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Bluetooth, and select “Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar.”
In the window that appears, select the file you want to send, and then click Send.
Select the device you want to send the file to, and then click Send.If you don’t see the device you want to send the file to, make sure the device has Bluetooth turned on and is discoverable.
You can set options for what happens when others try to send you files or browse your computer using Bluetooth. For more information, open Bluetooth File Exchange, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder, and choose Help > Bluetooth Help.

Using Weblogic to Deploy Simple Flex App

Hi,
   I am trying to deploy a simple Flex application in a weblogic8.1 server , so that I can use it locally.
Can any one please guide me where and how I have to deploy my flex app .
I am pretty new to this can any body provide me a guide or walk through step wise for me.
More over What is the url I need to give in the browser to access the flex app I deploy in the Weblogic server.
(At present I am using the IIS -- just copying the .swf file and wrapper html page in to the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot and giving http://localhost/test.html
in the browser to access it) --- How do I do this using Weblogic 8.1
thanks
Nash

Hi again Nash,
the stuff I am doing at present is not yet permitted to be publicly available, but the principles are very straightforward. Remember that WebLogic is primarily concerned with server-side functionality and Flex with client-side, so there is not really a great deal of overlap. The place where your Flex instantiation code will sit is in one or other JSP, using code very like the templates that Adobe generate. The only thing you have to do is ensure that your JSP (or the controller/code files behind it) generate HTML that contains the necessary. I tend to use the Apache Beehive libraries for UI stuff, but from vague memory I don't think these were around in WL8 - however, it doesn't really matter what tag library you prefer as all you are doing is generating HTML that looks like the usual JavaScript calls to AC_FL_RunContent (or swfobject if you are using that method). Basically, just take the Adobe-generated template and wrap the necessary bits and pieces round the edge to make it a proper JSP.
When you need to make calls to get functionality, just use something like
                    service = new HTTPService();
                    separator_date = new Date();
                    service.url = "get_tool_list.jsp?sep=" + separator_date.valueOf();
                    service.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT , fault_handler);
                    service.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, resultHandler);
                    service.resultFormat = "text";
                    CursorManager.setBusyCursor();
                    service.requestTimeout = WEB_SERVICE_TIMEOUT;
                    service.send();
and then inside get_tool_list.jsp (or whatever...) do the server-side functionality you need, and return the result in a suitable format that the Flex resultHandler method can then interpret and make use of.
Hope that helps,
Richard

Listen for HTTP Post in Flex

Hello,
I just have a simple question. In my Flex program, I am trying to find a way to listen for an incoming HTTP POST message - something with functionality similar to that of the HttpListener class in C#. I have not been able to find anything at all to help with this though, would anyone know of something like this?
Thanks.

My Flex program subscribes to changes that occur in a program on remote server. The change notifications are sent back to my client in the form of an HTTP Post message. The Flex program needs to be able to detect when these Posts are received.

Vision builder 2.6 general/tutorial

Hi,
I'm slowly trying to learn the functions of image acquisition and processing with LabVIEW. So far, I've stepped through some basic tutorials of LabVIEW (check). Next I installed some NI-IMAQ components and attempted to look at some examples (half check). Finally, I have found Vision Builder; unfortunately, I do not have a copy of the latest version and I'm forced to use a trial version of Vision Builder 2.6.
At this point, I'm kinda stuck because I can't seem to find any good Vision Builder tutorials. I understand that the program itself comes with a few example programs, but it doesn't help to much if it doesn't go through each building step. National Instruments has some video tutorials online, but it looks like the tutorials are with respect to new versions of Vision Builder with differing interfaces.
Finally, my reason for resorting to Vision Builder is because I downloaded some LabVIEW image processing tutorials, but some of the sub.vi's were missing (IMAQ mult, IMAQ sub). So as a result, I was unable to step through the projects, or observe how they functioned. I downloaded Vision Builder because someone mentioned that it might update my .vi library so I could run these image processing programs. But now I'm still unable to run these programs, and I have another program that I need to learn.
Does anyone have any recommendations of tutorial sites, or pages that might help get me started with Vision Builder? Or possibly any general suggestions about how to go about programming a vision processing program (maybe I'm not understanding the process correctly)?

Well it looks like no one replied to this post.
Just for a future reference (if anyone else has a question like this)
I called National Instruments and talked with one of their applications engineers. This description of the products helped me get a better understanding of how each one works, etc.
LabVIEW is Lower level programming that involves customization of user interfaces, peripheral device control, and data manipulation. LabVIEW is the center piece of the National Instruments software that will integrate code from other NI products.
IMAQ is a supplemental package that can be added on to LabVIEW for additional functionality. IMAQ provides LabVIEW with a library of image acquisition functions.
Vision Assistant functions much like LabVIEW itself. The Vision Assistant provides the user with image processing functions which clean/restore/manipulate an image so that it can be handled in LabVIEW or the Vision Builder. Vision Assistant code can be exported so that it can be handled by LabVIEW.
Vision Builder is a complete control/programming module in and of itself. The program interface provides a high level programming design which controls the image acquisition, all the way through the image processing. Vision Builder also contains the Vision Assistant.
Vision Development Module is a combination of the Vision Assistant and the Vision Builder. First off, the module provides LabVIEW with an extensive library that contains many of the image processing functions that is included with Vision Assistant. Secondly, the program also has an embedded Vision Builder program, that gives the user the option of a provided UI, or self developed UI through LabVIEW. The Vision Development Module is a complete package of vision acquisition and processing software.

How to Create a SIMPLE Flex Tree?

Hi,
Okay Im pretty new to flex and i have a uni assignment where
i need to use it.
A tree list would be perfect for one part of the site,
otherwise it would have heaps and heaps of links.
I want a tree that has four clickable parents (nodes) and
then inside each parent i want 14 leafs. When a leaf is clicked on
i want an image and some text to appear next to it.
Similar to the tree example in the Adobe Flex Explorer -
http://examples.adobe.com/flex3/componentexplorer/explorer.html
While i can figure out how they are creating the tree, and
naming the nodes etc, i don't' know how to edit it to display and
image and content into the right side box?
If someone could tell me, explain it, or has source code to a
simple example that would be awesome!
Thanks in advance,
Tara

hey thanks for replying. i eventually found a tute of what i
wanted and got it all working. didn't realize how easy xml is lol
^-^
would you be able to help me with something else though? i
posted another topic just above.
what i want to do (this is separate form the tree) is have
one image and when i click on it have it change to another image.
essentially it will be the back of a playing card and then
when it's clicked on it will swap to the front of the image card.
so i have a back image and a front image. how can i swap
them?

Newbie question. coldFusion w/ Flex 2 tutorial

Hello.
I am very new to F2 and CF. Fairly proficient at Flash, DW,
css, html, etc. I have purchased and worked through a couple really
great F2 and CF books. I am able to construct some good basic stuff
with either. But am not really finding a tutorial or book that is
exclusively committed just to the subject of to using CF with Flex
2. There always seems to be a just a cursory mention, or a
brush-by, but not much more than that. I get it: if you got this
far, you probably arlready know everything about the two and
shouldn't need such.
If you could point me to a couple good references, I'd be
very appreciative. I'm looking for a good step-by-step, just on
this subject.

Thank you. You are right on with the direction of your
answer.
Immediately, I am just trying to create a simple method of
add/edit/delete records to tables from forms that I could access
remotely with Flex 2. I just assumed that CF would be the best
method, both being Macradobe products. If I am wrong about that, so
be it. Utlimately, I would like to print specific "quotes" relative
to specific customers and products to .pdf. This is for my own
personal use (as an insurance broker). Not commercial. Nor is
anyone paying me to develop this.
Maybe a better newbie question would be: what would be the
preferred method to add/edit/delete records, remotely, from a Flex
2 application for later printing to .pdf based on various selection
criteria? I have figured out how to do this on my own stand-alone
machine. Now I want to be able to do it remotely from anywhere.
I'm
not looking for instruction from anyone here, just direction
to your favorite learning tools so that I can dig in and learn.
I bought the books you recommended (adding to my own Library
of Congress).
Thanks again!

Print GL Report by Financial Posting Period in General Settings

Hi
With reference to Message 859185, we would like to request for improvement to have an option to select Financial Period range according to the Posting Periods define in General Settings in order to obtain a more accurate Financial result when printing General Ledger Accounting Report.
Kedalene Chong

Hi Raja,
Unfortunately all the asset reports will be based on asset value date. Most of the time asset value date and dcoument dates are kept the same. Posting date could be different. So if you are comparing G/L balance to asset balance it should match because your G/L balance is based on document date.

Where Can I Find a Simple and Complete Tutorial?

Hi,
I am new to the CS5 SDK. The PDF guide that comes with it is USELESS - no full tutorial or complete project.
I found an on-line tutorial by Maria Guiterez at http://my.adobe.acrobat.com/p48386410/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&pbMode=normal , but even with an excellent Initernet connection the audio is hopelessly choppy.
All I want is to be shown how from scratch to write something like a simple InDesign or Photoshop panel which opens a new doc - I'll figure out the rest from there.
I'd really appreciate help with this.

Edit the Posts list view web part in a Blog site

Hi,
We found the great post vow to add a custom property (for example sub title) to blog posts view using jslink.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sharepointdevelopersupport/archive/2013/04/09/how-to-add-a-custom-field-to-blog-posts-in-sharepoint-2013.aspx
It works in the Home page of the blog, but we want the property to be displayed in any post view.
In order to display a column it has to be checked to be displayed at the view settings in the web part, but in the page posts.aspx there is no option to "Edit the current View".
Any ideas?
thanks a lot

Jdeveloper OA Ext Simple Search Page Tutorial required

HTTPService - GET and POST in Flex

I'm sending JSON data to a PHP script on the server, and I'm a bit new to the server side stuff so I'm hoping you all can answer a few questions.
1) I thought using POST was more secure than GET, as GET sends parameters with the URL, but when I send by post, spaces are replaced with %20, so is my data really being sent by POST, or GET?
2) I thought I had heard that under certain conditions you might send data by POST, but due to a bug Flex actually sends the data by GET. What are the conditions under which this happens?
3) How can I send usernames and passwords using HTTPS in Flex using HTTPService. I assume I should use HTTPS as it is supposed to be secure.
4) I've been messing around with PHP to process the data on the server, but quite frankly, working with PHP seems really difficult. I get the data, a PHP print says its an object, but object notataion -> => does not seem to work. I've used PHP methods to get the object "keys", and also done a little with processing PHP arrays, but it still seems like PHP does not make it easy on you. Anything better for more easily transferring data securely between Flex and MySQL?
Thanks very much in advance!
Greg

Hi Greg,
What build of Flex are you using?
1) When using HTTPS the GET URL would also be encrypted, but once decrypted on the server the URL might be logged so it's suggested to not use GET for transmitting credentials.
In 3.x, the default contentType is application/x-www-form-urlencoded - but what happens to your data depends on the type of the params passed into HTTPService.send(). Are you constructing a JSON request as a String?
BTW, did you try to set a contentType? I looked at the 3.x SDK source in SVN and the HTTPService contentType property still has metadata which provides code insight in the IDE but it also restricts the values of . When toString() is called on this XML node the root node is unwrapped and the empty string content returned. To avoid this toXMLString() can be called on the XML node to get the entire XML representation.
3) Load your SWF via HTTPS and use also HTTPS to send your credentials to the server and establish a session. If you tried to use a Basic Auth challenge you'd have to rely on the browser authentication dialog as you can no longer preauthenticate using an "Authorization" header as it is on the list of headers not allowed by flash.net.URLLoader. See the docs for URLRequestHeader used to configure headers with URLLoader:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/net/URLRequestHeader.html
As for how to send custom credentials... I think if you can solve your issue in 1) then the rest is up to what you want to do on the server. There should be lots of PHP login examples out there too. As a best practice try to delete / null out credentials variables when they're no longer in use on the client or server. Even though you're using HTTPS, consider additionally Base-64 encoding the credentials (for example, you could copy the format of the HTTPS Authorization header with a single "username:password" string) to obscure them in the event that a clear text version of the request is logged, or viewed in a debugger, etc.
