Preloader in Flex Components

Hi,
Is it possible to have preloader in flex components. For
example if we have a datagrid which fetches values from xml on load
thn how can i put the preloader in that datagrid. Please suggest.
Regards,
Naveen

Hi savz,
You can do the following...Try to embed the custom swf cursor in a variable and write a function in the preInitialize event of the main mxml application i.e; on the root tag <mx:Application preInitialize="onPreinitialize()"> </mx:Application>
[Embed(source='assets/swf/Preloader.swf')]
[Bindable]private var customCursor:Class;
private function onPreinitialize():void
StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("CursorManager").setStyle("busyCursor",customCursor);
That's it you can go with it...As and when the busyCursor is true your customCursir is shown overriding the default busy curso symbol.
Please kindly mark the answer if it helped you..:)
Thanks,
Bhasker

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

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 can i increase time of preloader in flex?

How can I extend time of preloader in flex?

Have a look at this
http://www.digitalprimates.net/notes/2009/10/02/fun-with-custom-preloaders-in-flex/.
However if you are using framework like Parsley messing with the app startup
will end up in messing you framework initialization since the framework is
depending on those events.

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.

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

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.

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!

Flex components not compatible with iOS/ADT packager?

I've been struggling hard and long to export a simple Hello World project to my iPhone with AIR 2.6. After a lot if reading on different blogs and sites I've gotten as far as packaging my debug swf to an IPA with ADT. The app starts on my iPhone but freezes during the preloader. If I change my main file to a strict AS3 file extending a Sprite it runs fine. Haven't been able to get startTouchDrag to work but I don't know if that has something to do with this problem.
I've tried:
Compiling with Flex 3.5, 4.0 and 4.1 (all merged with AIR 2.6 ofcourse)
I've tried setting the project to Flex 3 compatible (when using 4.0 and 4.1)
I've tried using MX components only.
Am I banging my head against a wall here or is it possible to package Flex applications or do they need to be strict AS3?

Hi Jeffrey
Thank you for replying! I will try Burrito when I get the chance.
I'm using iOS 4.3 on an iPhone 3GS so that shouldn't be a problem. I package with the AIR 2.6 adt and the swf is compiled in FB4 using Flex 4.1 merged with Air 2.6. I changed the main mxml file to an AS3 and now it runs on my iPhone but I can't get the TouchEvents to work. I get true when I trace Multitouch.supportsTouchEvents but I get no events when listening for TOUCH_BEGIN or TOUCH_TAP on either stage or a sprite. I've also added -target-player=11 as and additional compiler argument in FB4 (from Cantrell blog).
Is there something I might need to add to my adt packaging?
C:\AdobeAIRSDK\bin\adt -package -target ipa-test -provisioning-profile HelloWorld.mobileprovision -storetype pkcs12 -keystore rs.p12 -storepass XXXXXX ./HelloWorld.ipa ./bin-debug/HelloWorld-app.xml -C ./bin-debug HelloWorld.swf -C ./bin-debug assets
Should there be any files in the assets folder that I'm missing or anything special in the main-app.xml file?

Is there a way I can use Catalyst to create my custom flex components but make compatible with 3.5

I am new to Catalyst and looking for a way to create components in Catalyst to be compatible with an existing application created in SDK 3.5.
I am working on a project for a client to reskin an existing flex application done in SDK 3.5, but they are not ready to migrate yet to SDK 4.0.
I really want ot use Catalyst to create some custom components for the new style of this existing application, but the problem is the that the spark component architecture and the old version 3.5 are not compatible. Is there a way around this until they are ready to migrate to 4.0 or will I have to create my components in flash and bring them into flashbuilder with a swc this way instead? What would be the best approach for me at this point, please help?

No. Flash Catalyst leverages the new component framework that was introduced in 4.0 (aka Spark). Flex 3.5 and earlier used a framework (referred to as MX or Halo). That framework is incompatible with Flash Catalyst.
