Simple Question: how to export a SWF?

Hi, i'm quite new to Flex and Flash Builder (have over ten years of Flash experience tho), am on a fast track to learning, and I'm generally unclear about the way to use FB to publish projects (in Flash it is very straight forward).
I'm working on my first FB project for a client, and the situation is a bit unique: I've created a new project, yet, there is no need for the MXML file in this situation, as we have a server side application that utilizes just the product SWF in a much larger remote Flex framework.  So, when I make updates to the local project, I just want to export a new SWF from compiling the ActionScript class files I have created, and then upload the SWF to the remote server for testing.
Yet,when I attempt to simply run the project locally (to export a new SWF), I get errors that I assume are due to the inappropriate use of the MXML file (which is generally blank), and it is not relevant the rest of the ActionScript files (and I do not need it to be).
I have examples of other related projects that have no MXML file at all, so when I tried removing the MXML file, I get an error that simply says: "The file cannot be launched".  And in fact, when I moved the MXML file back, I now get the same error.  It's really hard to know what's going on here.
I thought of setting the primary AS file as the "Default Application", yet the menu option for that is not allowing me to (greyed out).
Can anyone help me understand what to do here? 

Okay, yes, I created an ActionScipt project.  Yet, I'm still wondering how I have the project produce a new product SWF?  When I either run or debug the project, it will show me the results running in a browser, yet the SWF file does not appear to be updated (if I look at the publication time of the file, it is still showing the time that the project was created, not the time that i just ran the project).  What is up with that?

    The registry method does not work with 8.1.  I found this out the hard way.  Doing it on 8.1 will leave you reinstalling the OS if you didn't do a SRP beforehand.

  • HT4753 I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

    I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

    It's actually even easier than using Save As to see the full path to the currently open document. Just do a "Secondary click" on the document title in its window's title bar.
    Like you, I relied upon Save As my whole life to check a file's location and considered it a must-have capability. Turns out it's even faster to use the single-click method to reveal the full path to the open document. It displays the entire path to the current document starting from the level of your Mac, and works for files stored on drives as well as iCloud.
    If you're not sure how to do a secondary click, go into System Preferences, select Trackpad, Point & Click to find the current preference for secondary click on your Mac. If you happen to have a mouse with more than one button, it's probably the right button. As a trackpad user, I check the box to "Click or tap with two fingers," so a simple two finger tap on the title of an open document reveals its full path. This feature actually has been around for a very long time.
    Note that this is not the same thing as the Autosave and Versions menu, which is exposed using a little drop down triangle to the right of the title. There is no visual clue for the presence of this feature - you just have to know it's there, probably because this feature goes all the way back to pre-OS X days.

  • Simple question - How do you make an onchange event occur in a select list

    Simple question - How do you make an onchange event occur in a select list to fire a process?
    Thanks

    1) Using ApEx Selec list on Submit Item.
    You will create a PL/SQL Process after Submit. -> Conditional Type Request = Expression1. -> Expression1 is the name of your Select List. Process Source - > Procedure you like. For example depending of your select List value you will add rows in different tables.
    2) Javascript This example will change a System parameter value when changed
    <select id="P3_SUBSYSTEM" onchange="location.href='f?p=101:3:2164422329953284::NO::P3_SUBSYSTEM:'+this.options[selectedIndex].value;" size="1" name="p_t21">

  • Simple Question: How to search for a date value in SELECT

    Probabily a simple question, but in a SELECT statement, how do you do a search for a date value in the WHERE clause?
    example:
    Select * From Example
    Where date = 01/01/2001
    I know its not as simple as that, but what change has to occur to make it do what that example implies?
    Thanks In Advance.

    If you want to avoid the conversion part(to_date) you will need to specify the date in the format as ur nls date format.so the same query might not work if you change ur nls date format.
    so it is advisable to give it in general format.
    ie where date_col=to_date(01-01-2000,'dd-mm-yyyy')

  • Simple Question - How do I deploy custom taglibs to Oracle 9iAS r2?

    Simple question.
    There are lots of simple examples on JSP custom tags that have
    a .tld file, a .java file with the handler class, and a .jsp
    file that calls the custom tag to test it.
    My question is, lets say I have a .tld file, a .java file and
    a .jsp file for a tag example. How do I deploy them to
    Oracle 9iAS r2? I'd like to code an example and deploy it,
    but I'm stuck. I'm using Jdeveloper 9i, and have compiled the
    .java file and included it and the .tld in a Custom Taglib JAR.
    How is this JAR deployed to Oracle 9iAS, considering that the
    Enterprise Manager only deploys WAR and EAR files? How do
    a configure a web app to use the custom tags...
    This should be simple -- maybe its too simple so I'm stuck!

    check out ojspdemos which comes with the product.

  • Simple question - How to find date

    Hi Experts,
    I have a simple question on date. Suppose today is Jan 4, 2010. I have to find out Jan 1, 2007 using Java code.
    I have used following code. This code will work for 2010 and 2011 properly. However it won't work properly after Feb 28, 2012. Please see "dayInMillis*1096 " portion of code. Here 365365366 = 1096.
    How I can avoid this hard coding. Do we have any simple way to get Jan 1, 2007 even without using following code.
         Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
         int lastDate = calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DATE);
         int firstDate = calendar.getActualMinimum(Calendar.DATE);
         int todayDate = calendar.get(Calendar.DATE);
         int dayofyear = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR);
         java.sql.Date currentdate = new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
         long dayInMillis = 1000 * 60 * 60 *24; //1 day
         wdContext.currentContextElement().setFromDate(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() - dayInMillis*1096 - ((dayofyear-1)*dayInMillis)));
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Gary

    Hi Gary,
    I am not pretty much clear with your question, whatever i have understood, i have found a way to get the previous date given the current date.
    Below is the code for the same.
                           Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();//Jan 4, 2010
           String nowDateStr = DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(now.getTime());
           System.out.println("date now : " +nowDateStr);
           now.add(Calendar.YEAR, -3);//2007
           now.add(Calendar.DATE, -3);//1st
           now.add(Calendar.MONTH, 0);//No change in month, Jan.
           String changedDateStr = DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(now.getTime());
           System.out.println("date changed : " +changedDateStr);

  • Very simple question-how to fill a shape I draw with color

    hi. I am new to photoshop and having a lot of trouble selecting any shape that I draw. I am trying to do a tutorial that involves filling a canvas with gray, then drawing a smaller white rectangle inside of the larger gray canvas/rectangle. (I did not forget to unlock the background).
    My question: how do i select and fill (with white) the second rectangle I draw on top of the larger gray rectangle???
    In general, I cannot figure out how to select and/or fill any shape I draw using the rectangle tool. Likewise, the marque shape tools are no help as I cannot seem to draw a marque on my gray rectangle in order to select it and fill it with a white fill. I have also tried to use a "fill layer."
    I am almost certain that something is wrong with my computer(I reset the settings), but then again I have not used photoshop in over a year. Any help  will be greatly appreciated.

    The Rectangle Tool sgould create a Work Path, Shape Layer or Fill Pixels according to the Settings in the Options Bar.
    The Rectangular Marquee Tool should create a Selection, which you could Edit > Fill or use as a Layer Mask for a Solid Color Layer.
    Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?

  • Simple question, how to get photos fading in and out

    Sorry, don't use Flash much at all, I'm trying to do something that's probably very simple.  This question has probably been answered before but I'm not even really sure what keywords to search for, I tried slideshow and a glut of irrelevant info came up.
    I want to create a swf of 5 photos that fade into each other.  For example, black background, first photo fades up from alpha 0 to alpha 100 in one second, stays on screen for 4 seconds, then fades back to alpha 0 while the next photo fades up, etc, then the 5th photo fades back into the 1st photo and it loops.
    What's the best, easiest way to accomplish this with cs4?
    Also, if the jpgs are 980 x650 pixels and approx. 70 kb apiece, will I need a preloader if I'm going to use the swf as a header to my site?  If so, is there a simple, plug n play preloader I can use?
    Thanks so much for the help, it can be so frustrating (and time consuming) trying to muddle my way through this myself.

  • Broadcast Export question - How to export 1920x180 to 720x576 anamorphic?

    Hi there,
    Ive tried searching for this, but no luck. Im fairly new at this, so that could be a lack of know what to search for...
    Ive been tasked with getting a TVC out for broadcast, and the one I had made has come back from the TV Station (bounced back).
    Heres my question:
    I have a workflow in Premiere, which is 1920x1080 Video, 25fps, Square Pixels 1.0. All other media imported is also the same (PSD's etc.). My sequnce & export settings for this timeline are below...
    The broadcast company here has requested that the video follow their specs:
    "Resolution 720 x 576 with particular attention to the display resolution which needs to be 768 x 576 - the output should be flagged for 4:3 anamorphic. 24fps" – This is all they have given me in terms of specs.
    Here are the sequence and export settings I have used so far...
    Now the problem Im having is that the video A) comes out as 702x576 (NOT 720x576 as specified...) and B) shows up as 20-21 fps NOT 24 fps as specified....
    Can anyone help me get to the bottom of this? Or suggest better settings/workflow...? Is there some critical point im doing wrong?
    I would really love to not only finish this task, but also understand the why and learn how to do this properly, so any information or tutorials or other posts you know of would be most appreciated!
    Many thanks,
    JP

    Also, when I inspect the exported video it shows different information in Quicktime.app to Premiere...? (screenshot below...)
    You'll notice the frame rate and size show as Ive specified them in Premiere, but Quicktime shows something different... Can anyone explain that?

  • A simple question: how to create a folder in the active root

    I have a simple little issue:
    When I go in the "Finder" down the folder chain to what ever place with the intention to create a new sub folder, using "file" + "new folder" the system always create the new folder in the main root versus creating it where I'm standing (highlighted root) in the folder chain.
    Any idea how to make the new folder directly under the highlighted root?
    Thx

    If you are in column view a new folder will be created in the selected folder, but if you are using the other views you need to actually open the folder. The path shown at the top of a Finder window will show the target of the window (which is where a new folder will be created).

    Your link didn't work, but I did find the latest version of Patchburn at versiontracker.com for Mac os X and installed it.
    Patchburn didn't appear to work.
    Here is the email I sent to Lacie [just moments ago]:
    I purchased my Lacie DVD-R/+R drive from Lacie a few years ago. The
    serial number of my drive is [censored by me here on the forum]. It is a +/-dvd/cd drive [that can burn disks].
    First, I use Mac OS X 10.4.3. I have been able to burn dvd's, burn cd's, and so forth.
    My problem: I recently attempted, for the first time, to burn an audio CD using iTunes. I was unable to get iTunes to recognize the drive. I posted on the Apple forum for help. I was told to download Patchburn, so I downloaded the most recent version of Patchburn. After installing Patchburn, a screen came up that recognized that this was a Pioneer drive and told me that now I should be able to burn audio CD's with iTunes. However, iTunes still won't recognize my drive. When I look in the upper right of iTunes I only see "Browse" and not "Burn" after I've selected [by highlighting] the songs I want to burn.
    How can I burn audio CD's with this drive? Must I purchase a third party program? Is there a free solution?
