Swc textfield not working in tabnavigator

Has anyone else run into this, I have a Flash component that
has been saved as a swc and imported into Flex. The component
contains a textfield, however if the component is attached to a
canvas in the tabnavigator, the textfield stops working. Once I
remove the tabnavigator mx tags, it works fine.
For simplicity sake, here are the minimum steps to recreate
this issue:
Create a new ActionScript 3 Flash file
Create a new MovieClip called "Note" making sure Export for
Actionscript and Export in first frame are checked
Add a Input Text textfield (w:300, h:100, x:0, y:0)
Convert the symbol to a Flex component
Import it into your mxml file
The basic mxml code is as follows:

in the main application container set creationPolicy to
all...i think this will olve your problem...for details see the
help..

Input Textfields not working in fullscreen mode

Input Textfields not working in fullscreen mode any one help me.

Quotes from Adobe:

SWC buttons not working in a Flash Builder 4.7 ActionScript Project

Howdy,
I have this BIG issue. Every button in my swc causes issues when compilling in Flash Builder 4.7. Two things will happen, one or the other:
1. I get this error in the class that extends a linked library item:
Error #1107: The ABC data is corrupt, attempt to read out of bounds.
2. The swf compiles with no errors but all buttons display the wrong art.
Both problems go away when I remove the buttons.
I found this article:
http://inflagrantedelicto.memoryspiral.com/2012/12/flash-builder-4-7-useflashsdk/
I tried this solution but it did not work.
This problem occurs with all my projects. I'm creating SWCs via Flash Pro, and using them in a Flash Builder ActionScript Project.
Does anyone have any solutions?
Thanks!

Hi,
I followed the directions here: http://inflagrantedelicto.memoryspiral.com/2012/12/flash-builder-4-7-u seflashsdk/
But the only "Use Specific SDK:" options are Flex 4.6.0 and Flex 3.6a.
When I select Flex 4.6.0 (under "Use Specific SDK:"), I get errors, it seems that some sub classes don't have access to their parents protected methods and properties. The only way to fix this is to delete the project and create it again.
I downloaded the apache flex SDK, and added it via the Flash Builder preferences. Then went into the project and set "Use Specific SDK:" to the appache flex. This brought up more errors, double clicking the errors wouldn't take me to any class, they where mostly something about bitmap...
And the only way to fix it is to delete the project and create it again.
Should I not use Flash 4.6? or not use SWCs? This is really frustrating.

Links in HTML TextField not working well on iPad

Hi there;
I've got a TextField with html in it that has anchors that call out to Flash functions using the href="event:" mechanism.
It works 100% fine when I test my fla on my Mac... ie. Clicking on the links is responsive, and all works as expected.
When I publish this to the iPhone or iPad, the links work, but only after I click them 2 or 3 times. It *seems* like the stroke of the font is the only clickable part.... It feels like clicking in the center of a letter "O" wouldn't work, and clicking the strokes of the letter "O" would...
The links are very big... and there are about 20 of them on the page.
Has anyone else run into this problem? I've tried using css styles to set display:block, but that didn't seem to help!
Thanks,
Brad

had this all typed in earlier today just when we had a major power outage and lost it, plus restraining myself from tossing the IPAD and sticking to Android mobile!
anyways, per your message, tried to rework my app here as well and this method seems to work for me with item still to be worked out per notes below.
overview:
using TLF CS5.5
use TouchEvent listener on my containers to return textline being touched
once touched, loop through all spans and if parent is a link, get the textline associated with that link
if match then jackpot, return,
some rough code below,
where this fails is when my link rambles over several lines and it's only recognizing the first line of the link. Otherwise, all links in all containers respond well.
     function taphandler(event:TouchEvent): void {
       var leaf:SpanElement;
       var link:LinkElement;
       var absoluteStart:int;
       var matchTextLine:TextLine;
       leaf = SpanElement(TLF2.textFlow.getFirstLeaf());
       while (leaf = SpanElement(leaf.getNextLeaf())) {
         link = leaf.getParentByType(LinkElement) as LinkElement;
         if (link != null){
           absoluteStart = link.getAbsoluteStart();
           matchTextLine = link.getTextFlow().flowComposer.findLineAtPosition(absoluteStart).getTextLine(true);
            if(matchTextLine==event.target){
              //JACKPOT! use link.href
              return;
i welcome any input to code (i think i miss out if i have a link in first span which I should not have but..) and how to get at the second, third, fourth,.. lines of the link. hopefully someone in the TLF area can explain the quantity and hierarchy of the objects of the links that are spread over many lines since from a user perspective we just see text, mind you high quality and very intelligent text and Adobe should be commended.
UPDATE:
as it worked above, a sample textline with plain text and 3 links, clicking anywhere on the textline always gives me link#1 unfortunately.
seems like I need a for loop just before the matchTextLine that iterates i=(link.parentRelativeEnd-link.parentRelativeStart) times, then must do a GetAtomBounds LocalToGlobal compare to Stage.x then modify the line if(matchTextLine==event.target){ to if(matchTextLine==event.target&&thisLinkIsAtX==true){      ouch I hope I don't have to do all this..

Textfield not working in air for android

Hi,
I have a weird problem. An input text component that works in air for desktop refuses to work in an air for android application.
It draws on the screen as it should but i cant input text. Am i missing something fundamental?
It is kind of hard to log in if i cant enter credentials
Here is the code:
   idFmt1= new TextFormat("arial",18,0x000000);
   idFmt1.align="left";
   _inputText= new TextField();
   _inputText.defaultTextFormat = idFmt1;
   _inputText.x=150;
   _inputText.height = 35;
   _inputText.width= 150;
   _inputText.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
   _inputText.background = true;
   _inputText.backgroundColor = 0xa0a0a0;
   _inputText.text = _initText;
   _inputText.tabEnabled = true;
   _inputText.tabIndex = 1;
   _inputText.displayAsPassword = false;
   _inputText.antiAliasType = flash.text.AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
   _inputText.embedFonts = true;
   _inputText.alwaysShowSelection = true;
   _inputText.mouseEnabled=true;
   addChild(_inputText);

I can't seem to get anywhere with capturing text input! I set the "type" to TextFieldType.INPUT but this is still ignored on both the desktop and the device. If I place an input textield on the scene in Flash, that works in so far as it brings up the Android keyboard - but then nothing you type is of any consequence.
What could I be missing?

Use of RSL's with ie6 not working

Hi All,
It seems my RSL (framework_3.4.0.6955) for the framework.swc and rpc.swc is not working in IE6.
I have configured the RSL's to one root location because 3 flex-apps at different locations of the site needs to use these.
So the RSL's are not within the folder of the swf's.
I used the files from \Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.4.0.6955\frameworks\rsls\
It works with IE8, Firefox and Chrome. I know, IE6 is a world apart, but can anyone clarify this?
Btw, i compile from Flex Builder. And it does work when I add the framework_3.4.0.6955.swf and ...swz in the folder itselfs. But then I have to add these files in every .swf folder. And then the RSL's are downloaded separately from each different .swf location.
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately it doesn't work. It has player 10.
I only see the preloader, but then it's stuck, no data is loaded or something else can be seen.

BackSpace not working in textfield

Hi everybody!
I have a textfield that only lets enter numeric chars. It extends from JTextField.
The problem is that the Backspance key is not working. I see that is detected in the processKey Event but it does nothing.
I have seen some topics about that there is a bug in jdk1.3 and that a solution is using keyTyped instead. But I don't know how to do this.
May someone help me?
Thanxxxx

Hello,
i think the best way is to to use a custom PlainDocuments for your TextField:
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
public class NumberField extends JTextField {
     public NumberField(){
          setDocument(new PlainDocument(){
               public void insertString(int offset, String str, AttributeSet a)throws BadLocationException{
                    try{
                         Double.parseDouble(str);
                    }catch(NumberFormatException nfe){return;}
                    super.insertString(offset,str,a);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          JFrame f=new JFrame();
          f.setBounds(0, 0, 100, 50);
          NumberField nf=new NumberField();
          f.getContentPane().add(nf);
          f.setVisible(true);
}Regards,

Alpha property not working on TextField when publish for Reader 9

Hi,
I have a movie that is working fine when I publish for Reader 10, but when I publish for Reader 9, the code that assigns an alpha property to my TextFields stops working. I have a previous movie, which I probably did in CS4, that uses similar code to fade in and out TextFields. It was published for Reader 9 and works fine.Is it possible that something has changed in CS5 (note, I'm not using TLF text boxes, only dynamic TextFields)?
Here's an example of the code I'm using:
stop();
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
var txtFormat1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
txtFormat1.font = "Optima";
txtFormat1.color = 0x000000;
txtFormat1.bold = false;
txtFormat1.size = 16;
txtFormat1.leading = 2;
var subtitle:TextField = new TextField();
subtitle.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
subtitle.selectable = false;
subtitle.defaultTextFormat = txtFormat1;
var fadeInSubtitle:Tween;
addChild(subtitle);
subtitle.x = stage.stageWidth / 2 - subtitle.width / 2;
subtitle.y = stage.stageHeight / 2 - subtitle.height / 2;
subtitle.alpha = 0;
subtitle.text = "What is the most important question in";
fadeInSubtitle = new Tween(subtitle,"alpha",None.easeNone,0,1,3,true);

Thanks.
Just curious: Is there a reason why the alpha on the TextFields worked without embedding fonts when publishing for Flash Player 10? Does it handle text, even when it's not TLF, differently than Flash Player 9?

TabNavigator selectedIndex not working

I have reduced a problem I'm having to a very simple example.
I'm using the routine in a validation of form, trying to make sure
they don't leave the current tab index if a form is 'open.' It
works the first time but after that, does not work every other
time. Suggestions?

I ran into a similar problem where the correct tab was not
always being selected when the ViewStack selectedIndex changed.
This is a bug in Flex, which I have reported and submitted a patch
for.
In the meantime, you can use the attached Custom Class, and
this should fix your problem....

Binding not working when returning to same page

Hi, Im developing a portlet that access some data from MYSQL.
I have a simple page with several textfields, all with bindings to a javabean object that is a property of SessionBean1 bean, so it is a Session Scope bean.
In that page I put some buttons like next, prior, etc. to navigate between all registers of my DB. I added some code to event button like this:
public String bnext_action() {
// get sessionbean
SessionBean1 SBean1 = (SessionBean1)getBean("SessionBean1");
// navigate to next register in database
// ProdBean is my property bean that get values from database
// bindings are like this : text="#{SessionBean1.prodBean.codigo}
SBean1.getProdBean().GetNextReg(SBean1.getModuloIdx());
// set current register index
SBean1.setModuloIdx(SBean1.getProdBean().getIndex());
return null;
The problem is that when I get next register of database, bindings are not reflecting new values, always holding first values. I tried to force things by setting values in pre-rendering face manually with setText method of textfields but nothing happens.
As Im a newbie in Java yet I really don't undestand this, I have readed all JSF life cycle documention and portlet life cycle docs but couldn't find an answer. Why binding is not working?

Thanks for this. Unfortunately now I have tried with Standard actions the links do not work at all. The links provided were created with spaces so contained within the links are lots of '%20'. e.g. :
PCI%20DSS/UWE%20PCI-DSS%20Quick%20Reference%20guide.pdf
for some reason when creating the links with standard actions, when the project is published the links have changed to contain 25s e.g.
PCI%2520DSS/UWE%2520PCI-DSS%2520Quick%2520Reference%2520guide.pdf
no idea why this is happening.

Ctrl+tab is not working in editing mode

I have JcheckBox and JTable in my JPanel. When user clicks or presses F2 to edit any cell value of the JTable a comboBox will appear with possible values. (This comboBox is coming from table CellEditor). When user presses ctrl+tab from the table focus should transfer to JComboBox all time. It is working only when the user presses ctrl+tab from the table cell which is not in editing mode. If the user presses ctrl+tab from the table cell which is in editing mode (i.e. focus is on the ComboBox of the cellEditor) it does not work. Please help me to find the solution.
I give a sample code here for your reference.
public class Frame1 extends JFrame {
public Frame1()
super();
this.setLayout( null );
this.setSize( new Dimension(400, 300) );
JTextField ch = new JTextField();
ch.setVisible(true);
ch.setBounds(10, 10, 10, 10);
this.add(ch, null);
DefaultTableModel tmodel = new DefaultTableModel(3, 1);
tmodel.setValueAt("0 0 1",0,0);
tmodel.setValueAt("1 0 1",1,0);
tmodel.setValueAt("2 0 1",2,0);
JTable custLayersTable = new JTable(tmodel);
custLayersTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).
setCellEditor(new ComboEditor());
custLayersTable.setBounds(new Rectangle(40, 40, 280, 145));
custLayersTable.setSurrendersFocusOnKeystroke(true);
this.add(custLayersTable, null);
public static void main(String[] args)
Frame1 a = new Frame1();
a.setVisible(true);
final class ComboEditor extends AbstractCellEditor
implements TableCellEditor
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table,
Object value,
boolean isSelected,
int row,
int column)
Vector<String> layerValSet = new Vector<String>();
for(int i=0; i<3; i++)
layerValSet.add(row+" "+column+" "+i);
mComboModel = new DefaultComboBoxModel(layerValSet);
mComboModel.setSelectedItem(value);
mEditorComp = new JComboBox(mComboModel);
return mEditorComp;
public Object getCellEditorValue()
return mEditorComp.getSelectedItem();
private DefaultComboBoxModel mComboModel;
private JComboBox mEditorComp;
}

Thanks a lot for your reply.
Since the textField is in a different class i could not use the transferFocus API directly. I tried the following code in the keyreleased event of Combo Box but it was not working.
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().focusNextComponent(
e.getComponent().getParent());
I also tried the following code in stopCellEditing and is not working.
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().focusNextComponent();
Is there any other way to achieve this?

If condtion not working in blank text field

I want that when the text field is blank it should go to the else if portion of the code below:
JTextField tf1=new JTextField(15);
if (tf1.getText() != null)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(tf1, "insert value in the range of a-z,A-Z,0-9");
}                          else if (tf1.getText() == null)
                         System.out.println("fdsafasdfasdfsdf");
System.out.println("1234");
                                                  JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(tf1,"Enter SmartTextID");
but control never goes to ==null,even i have initilaized textField with a text then also when i chk with tf1.getText() == "assigned text", its not working.
plz send me the correct code for this
thanx..

if ( textField.getText().trim().equals("") );

NetStream.send not working in Flash Player 11.2 Beta with Cirrus, Please confirm if it is a bug

Title
NetStream.send not working in Flash Player 11.2 Beta with Cirrus, Please confirm if it is a bug or feature
Description
Problem Description:
NetStream.send can not send data to peerstreams when using with cirrus. Conflict with documents.
Sorry for tag the build as 11.0.1.3 while the bug is actually on 11.2 beta since the bug report system didn't have 11.2 beta yet.
If you are not responsible for 11.2 beta bug fix, please help a hand to handle this bug to 11.2 team.
This bug is "killing" to your application, so we really appreciate your help. Thanks.
==Publisher==
nc.connect("rtmfp://");
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc, NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS);
ns.publish("sendtest");
...//after connection success.
ns.send("clientfunction", "ok"); // this line cannot reach subscribers. even if subscribers have client object correctly.
==Subscriber==
nc.connect("rtmfp://");
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc, cirrusid);
var client:Object = new Object();
client.clientfunction = clientfunction; // target function
ns.client = client;
ns.play("sendtest");
Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile the code in the attachment to SendTestExample.swf (not be able to paste it here)
2. run it under flash player 11.2.202.19 beta
3. run it under flash player 11
Actual Result:
HeartBeat is:
Start HeartBeat:
send hello
send hello
send hello
which means NetStream.send was not able to call "clientfunction" as expected.
Expected Result:
Start HeartBeat:
send hello
in client function: hello
send hello
in client function: hello
send hello
in client function: hello
which can call into the clientfunction as flash player 11 did.
Any Workarounds:
I can not find it out since it's an api level bug. But this can be very important for lots of applications which rely on send to do rpc.

        protected function status(msg:String):void
            statusArea.appendText(msg + "\n");
            trace("ScriptDebug: " + msg);
        protected function clientfunction(event:Object):void {
            status("in client function: " + event);

Thanks for reporting. I can reproduce the bug in house. We will investigate.
