Standalone Flex App

I want to use some components from a Flex app that we are
developping to create a standalone application for some of our
clients who just want to use a few (small) features of our
application.
I'm planning to use the in-process HSQLDB database and no
server-side code (i.e. no server at all), and have the following
questions:
1. Did anyone try to this yet? Is it at all possible?
2. How can I setup a jdbc connection to an in-process
(embedded) hsqldb, without going through a server object?
Thanx in advance for any suggestion (even: "not possible,
forget it...")

You want to look for Adobe Apollo (coming out next year) or
mdm Zinc's product. At least with Zinc, You can make standalone
Flex exe projects that can connect to local databases etc...

Ipad 3 supports FLASH/FLEX Apps, web or not

ipad 3 supports FLASH/FLEX Apps, web or not?

Apps, yes. Embedded in a web-page, no.
Specifically, a FLEX application bundled as an iOS app and sold through the App Store or distributed ad hoc using an enterprise license will work just fine.
Embedded FLASH (e.g., in a web-page) requires that the browser have a Flash plug-in. iOS doesn't support browser plug-ins, and Adobe dropped development and support for mobile versions of Flash (iOS and Android) a year ago (and laid off the staff related to it), so there will never be one. For what it's worth, Adobe has made it clear that it's also going to drop support for desktop browser plugins as well in the near future (in part because of the wider array of browsers requiring support, and also because Microsoft is dropping browser plugin support from their Windows 8 Metro browser and from their Windows RT browsers).
Going forward, Adobe presumes everyone will stick with HTML5+JavaScript in browsers and a FLEX will be used for standalone application development. They are already modifying their products to reflect this change.

Running a Flex App using Coldfusion Flash Remoting Services gives me a blank SWF file but no errors

I cannot get flex to compile to display anything. even if its
just a single panel and some text. If I use the wizard and choose
"Basic" or whatever, I get a flex app. But i am using cfcs so I
selected "Coldfusion Flash Remoting Services" and when I select
run, the browser pops up with a nice big blank screen. No loading
progress bar, no errors, nothing.
I am running cf8 as a standalone (developers edition)
under project properites --> server
root folder: C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot
root url
http://localhost:8500/
context: (blank)
I have messed with context and webroot.
I doesn't matter if I use a remoteObject or not. Nothing
happens
i through in a crossdomain.xml into the root to open it up,
just to be sure.
I am really stumped. I had this working fine on a previous pc
(running cf7)
any ideas anyone???

I tried with some of the AS3 files from Adobe samples (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/actionscript/samples.html), for eg., the Drawing API. There are slider components in the flash app that don't show up either. Does that give anyone a clue as to what might be wrong? Thanks, Ramesh

Flex apps will not run in Browser after install

I am running IE 6 (Wintel) and have tried both installers for
the most recent Flash player -- activeX and the other standalone
one. I cannot view any Flex apps now in my browser - most notably
the derby examples. It seems to hang on a screen that has the title
"Flash Player Installation" -- like something in the apps is
sniffing for the player, not finding it, and then hanging on some
"automatic" install hook that has been built for Flex but not
completely implemented yet. That is my suspicion, but I just want
it to work -- do I need to uninstall/reboot/install again ? Any
tips would be greatly appreciated as I need to start a Flex 2
project next week. thanks.

You definatately need to run the unistaller 1st. Also make
sure that all IE browser are closed, and that nothing that could
possibly be using IE functionality (things like outlook, file
manager etc...) are not running or the uninstall may well fail.
Once this is succefully accomplished, re-install.

Looking for a simple, standalone desktop app for web stats

Well, I see they've changed the forums here again. SIGH.
Anyway, a certain web host has eliminated AWStats from it's shared hosting. So I used Webmaster Tools. And now they've changed, and no longer display the simple visitors and hits. Google Analytics is way too complex for what I need, as are many of the stats programs I've looked into.
I can download the daily Apache log files, that's no problem. Just looking for a small standalone program to import these and show the data like AWStats. Any suggestions? The only other options would be to go to a different web host. Not a big deal overall, but I would rather not deal with the hassle, especially the migrating the database.

Not sure of standalone 'desktop' apps. But check out http://www.openwebanalytics.com/ and Web Analytics in Real Time | Clicky - they're both very intuitive and easy to use with a lot more simplified stats than Google Analytics.

Flex app doesn't work when moved from original location

I'm trying to make an image gallery in flex. It works when I run it in Flex Builder perfectly fine. The html and swf files from the bin-debug folder work perfectly fine when opened in any browser also, but ONLY when those files and all related files are opened from the default location that the application was built in. When I export a build to a different folder, the swf loads but none of the information from the xml file displays. I tried setting all of the paths of the reference files (namely the xml) in the flex app to the exact absolute location on the server, and it still didn't work when I uploaded it to the server.
I've tried several approaches starting from scratch and they have all come up with the same issue. I'm working with an educational license for Flex Builder, I'm not sure if they jip you on those and ruin the compiled swf.
Please help! I'm losing my mind over this.I think it has to do with something else besides the code since it works fine when I hit "Run", but if anyone thinks it will help to post the code let me know.

when you build an application using one of the wizards (like coldfusion flex application wizard) it hard codes
paths to cold fusion CFC's, and sometimes gets it wrong.
If your application references cfc's (or other remote objects) then it may be necessary to adjust the flex code
when moving the code into a different base folder.
For example in my own application, the url is http://localhost/crm_dev_flex and the built application gets put into
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\crm_dev_flex\bin-debug
References in the code to components found in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\crm_dev_flex\bin-debug\components\cfgenerated
(in the flex code these looks like crm_dev_flex.bin-debug.components.cfgenerated.<mycomponent> )
These need to change when you move the code to somewhere else.
Also, if you are using wizard generated cfc's then these also contain similar references that need to be changed.
IHTH.
Cheers

File not Found Error in Flex APP-MDI

Hi Friends,
In my Flex APP-MDI application have error.Th error is given blew.How can i solve this problem,please any one help to me.
Error:
File not found: file:/C:progmfiles/AdobeFlashBuilderBeta2/amdiBasicExample_1_1_1/bin-debug/amdiBasicExamp le.html

You would do better to ask this in the developer forum, not the user forum.

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
Thanks!

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

Deployment of Flex app to web and app server

Hi
I'm working on putting a Flex front-end on an existing J2EE
app which gets deployed as an ear file. The architecture consists
of web server, app server and database server. Is the following
approach to deployment possible / recommended?
My Flex app will be deployed to the web server. The J2EE ear
file will be deployed to the app server (Weblogic). BlazeDS will be
bundled within the ear file as a war file. Remote Objects will be
configured in my BlazeDS configuration files to enable me to access
the code in my J2EE app. In the compiler options of my Flex app,
I'll be setting the server root folder and server root URL to point
to the BlazeDS war file on my app server.
At present I'm at the stage where I can run my Flex app
directly from Flex builder on my development PC and it's able to
connect tto the J2EE app, which is running on the app server
(Weblogic) also on my development PC. I can't find documentation
explaining how to extend this to work on a multi-tier architecture.
Thanks
David

Adobe AIR Needed on Android / iOS to Run Adobe Flex Apps

Hi all,
I want to confirm if the user has to install Adobe AIR before launching Adobe Flex apps on Android and iOS Devices. Is there any way that we could embedd Adobe AIR setup in the app file so that the user dont have to hastle in installing Adobe AIR.
Taimur

It gives you only three options:
Signed packages for each target platform.
Signed AIR package for installation on desktop.
Intermediate AIRI package that must be signed later.
For mobile apps, we need to select the first option to get the .apk and .ipa file as the second option would generate .air file. None of the options offer to package AIR runtime. Only the first option gives you the option on NEXT window to include the download link of AIR Runtime.
If i am wrong, kindly point me to that specific checkbox.
OR do i have to put Runtime.apk in the assets folder of my source code so that it gets packaged?

Flex App with remoting works on local Apache server - fails on production server

Hi Everyone,
I have a Flex app that uses Data Services. The application works correctly on my local Mac Server and Apache. When uploaded to my production CentOS server, the Data Services fail. When the app is done loading, the following error message comes up:
Class "ModelsService" does not exist: Plugin by name 'ModelsService' was not found in the registry; used paths:
: /www/html/mdubb//PHP2/bin-debug/services/
#0 /var/www/html/mdubb/ZendFramework/library/Zend/Amf/Server.php(550): Zend_Amf_Server->_dispatch('getAllModels', Array, 'ModelsService')
#1 /var/www/html/mdubb/ZendFramework/library/Zend/Amf/Server.php(626): Zend_Amf_Server->_handle(Object(Zend_Amf_Request_Http))
#2 /var/www/html/mdubb/PHP2/bin-debug/gateway.php(73): Zend_Amf_Server->handle()
#3 {main}
Where getAllModels is a method of my custom ModelsService.
I changed the Zend path in the amf_config.ini file so it references the correct directory. If I browse to gateway.php, it prompts to download the file, which I think is correct.
I added in the config file the path to the services folder.
I tried adding $server->addClass("ModelServices") in gateway.php, but it didn't like that.
The file structure on the production server is the same as the local server (I litterally uploaded everything in my local web root), so I can't think of what would be differenet between the two.
I have already pulled one all nighter trying to get this to run. Do you know what I should troubleshoot next?
Thanks in advance,
Ryan

Loading purchased swf into Flash Builder 4 Flex app

I have purchased a Flash "fundraising thermometer" from an online Flash components site. It takes input from an xml file and displays a thermometer with the goal at the top and the current amount raised indicated. It came with the following files:
thermometer.swf
thermometer01.fla
thermometer01.html (A sample that works.)
xml/thermometer.xml (The source file: goal amount, current amount, mark interval, etc.)
caurina/transitions (Mostly .as files.)
Since the test html (thermometer01.html) works fine, I thought this would be a no-brainer.
I first unzipped the files into a "thermometer" folder in my current project. I then went into Flash Builder and created a SWFLoader object as follows:
<mx:SWFLoader
id="myLoader" source="../thermometer/thermometer.swf" complete="initThermometer();" autoLoad="true" scaleContent="false"/>\
private function initThermometer():void {
     Alert.show('Thermometer loaded');
The Design view looks fine. I can see the thermometer default image (see below).
When I run the app, I get no errors, just a broken image link in a box (see below). The alert box also never shows up.
I'm new to Flex, so I may be doing something stupid that keeps this from working. I contacted the author of the thermometer widget but he doesn't know anything about Flex.
Any help figuring out how to get this to work in a flex app would be appreciated.

You should probably add more event handlers to see what's going on. Especially "ioError". The complete list is below. For coverage, add a handler for each event. You can also use in MXML
     complete="initThermometer(event)
and add an argument to your Actionscript method, to find out details about the event.
private function initThermometer(event:Event):void {
     Alert.show('Thermometer loaded ' + event.type);}
Events
    complete="No default"
    httpStatus="No default"
    init="No default"
    ioError="No default"
    open="No default"
    progress="No default"
    securityError="No default"
    unload="No default
General info here:
     http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/SWFLoader.html
I did not test my code suggestions, but it's probably close.

Urgent requirement : security error accessing url and http error: standalone flex

Why would I need to use LiveCycle Data Services in a Flex app?

I cannot figure out what additional functionality is provided by using LiveCycle Data Services in my Flex apps. I cannot get a clear understanding of how using LiveCycle Data Services would benefit my applications. Does someone out there use LiveCycle Data Services? If so, what do you do with it in Flex?
Thanks!

- data push for publish/subscribe implementations
User has to do nothing to get updated information. You push it to their machine when new data is available, like Yahoo finance updated quotes.
- data paging
You don't want to display one million rows in your datagrid at once. Get a batch of data, if the user scrolls down, get the next batch, etc.
- server side clustering
One server does not get overloaded. High traffic sites have their large number of concurrent connections managed more efficiently.
- JMS services
JMS is a powerful technology for messaging throughout an application, and LCDS makes it much easier.
- RTMP tunneling
Allows the use of the RTMP protocol in LiveCycle Data Services applications. Makes it easier to traverse firewalls and proxies appropriately that currently prevent direct RTMP client connections to the server.
If this post answered your question or helped, please mark it as such.

A Flex App in browser is a swf file or translated to Javascript

A Flex App in browser is a swf file or translated to Javascript?
Like Flash web site plugins [not whole browser window], exist and Flex plugins?
These are both swf files only without other supporting files?

A Flex app is a SWF and is not translated to Javascript. Many Flex apps do
use Javascript to handle history management and startup focus.
