Uploading flex application to server

Hi all,
I am new to flex2, I have made one sample application, it is
working fine in my system.
the problem is, if i move my project folder to some other
location, and if i open the project html file (which is in bin
directory) in the browser it is not working ,
it will work only if i again compile and run that file in new
location then only it works.
anyone please help me what all the files i have to upload to
server so that it should work online.
thanks in advance
regards
avanthika

Problem when publishing Flex application on Server

Hi,
I got my application working on the localhost however now
that I've put it onto the server I'm having a few problems. The URL
for my application is:
http://homepages.shu.ac.uk/~kchapma5/MakeItUp_Flex/src/MakeItUp.html
Once you've selected a palette and the colours menu comes up,
sometimes not all the colour images are displayed even though it's
all the same image. Would someone be able to have a look at it for
me to see if they know what's causing the problem?
Thanks
Katy

I did get that when I used the debugger however I can't see
anything wrong with my XML, this is the XML file for the colours:

It all looks ok to me, can you see anything wrong?

Flex application not working when deployed run from Server

Hi,
I have Flex application which takes a parameter from user, makes a web-service call and returns the message.
This application is running perfectly when I launch from IDE.
But when I copy the files from bin-release to server and launch it, it gives me no result.
In the crossdomain file on the server which hosts web-service, I have added the my host IP in the
allow-access-from domain tag.
In the initialization method of the application I load crossdomain using following code:
    Security.allowDomain("remoteservername");
    Security.loadPolicyFile("http://remoteservername/crossdomain.xml");
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://remoteservername/crossdomain.xml");
    var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    loader.load(request);
Is there a way I can debug application when running from server?
Please give me some pointer to solve this problem.
Thank you.
Chintan

Alex thanks for reply
The URL for the app is http://<some_IP>/flex_app
<some_IP> is added in crossdomain.
Also we have outbound IP's and of these are also added in the crossdomain file.
This is the current content of crossdomain file:
<cross-domain-policy>
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only"/>
<allow-access-from domain="<some_IP>"/>
<allow-access-from domain="<outbound_IP1>"/>
<allow-access-from domain="<outbound_IP2>"/>
<allow-access-from domain="<outbound_IP3>"/>
<allow-http-request-headers-from domain="<outbound_IP1>" headers="SOAPAction"/>
<allow-http-request-headers-from domain="<outbound_IP2>" headers="SOAPAction"/>
<allow-http-request-headers-from domain="<outbound_IP3>" headers="SOAPAction"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
App runs perfectly fine when launched from Flex Builder.

How to read JBoss server 'app.properties' file in the deployed Flex application?

Hi, my current Flex project is using LCDS server to make call (Remote object call and Data managements services' call) to the backend Java services and consume data to render. I have defined the AMF and RTMP channels in the services-config.xml file and destinations for the Java services' in the remoting-config.xml and data-management-config.xml files.
     <channel-definition id="my-amf" class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">
            <endpoint url="http://localhost:8080/eqcFlex/messagebroker/amf" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
            <properties>
                <polling-enabled>false</polling-enabled>
            </properties>
     </channel-definition>
As of now both the Flex application WAR file and Java services EAR files are depolyed on the JBoss server on my machine, therefore I can hardcode the endpoint URL as http://localhost:8080 in the services-config file and hit the Java services.
But the requirement is that the Flex application WAR file needs to be deployed on JBoss servers deployed on different machines and hence the endpoint URL cann't be hardcoded in the services-config.xml file. Is there a way we can pick up the endpoint URL from the JBoss server's app.properties file so that we can dynamically create channels in Actionscript code and make call to the backend services with dynamic endpoint URL?

But in Command prompt I found out that My properties file by name
'cedrelay.properties' is not recognised by web.xml.My web.xml structure is
How does web.xml "recognize" anything?
You specify the properties file as an init parameter. Do you read it in the init method of the servlet? If so, what does the code look like for reading the properties file?
You'll have better luck if you put that properties file in WEB-INF/classes and load it as a resource input stream from the CLASSPATH.

How to get full file path while uploading a file in flex Applications

How to get full file path while uploading a file in flex applications.
FileReference Object is giving file name and other details but not the actual path.
Is there any workaround to to get the file path?.
Thanks

Why not ask in the Flex forum; it is more likely that someone over there knows.

How can we handle in flex application if the server is down?

how can we handle in flex application if the server is down?

You and me both.
As ambiguous as the original question was, I think he was just asking how to handle a server exception and I would suggest generally just using a Alert.show("your specific message (eg. The server is currently unavailable)") in the place where you handle the fault return from your service or http call. I'm sure there are more complicated messaging frameworks or approaches, but that seems to be enough for my apps.

really its strange only the site works if my flash builder is running , please help

Thanks all for your attention, i have solved my problem and i think its a bug in the flash builder , the problem was that when you compile the application and you enabling Network Monitoring , the communication of the AMF channels done throw the http://localhost:37813/flex2gateway/
and that was the problem if you close the flash builder on your system that getaway dose not exist and on the hosted server there is no such address localhost by this port also so the client application witch is catch in you system try to access your localhost and that cause a security error and the address is also not exist .
so the solution or we have to compile the project after we disable the Network Monitoring in flash builder .

How to deploy a Flex application (Server Type ColdFusion) to production

I have built a flex application using Flash Builder 4.6. It utilizes ColdFusion Flash Remoting for its data services. When first setting up the data services I had to set a bunch of properties in the flex server section. Which I am not sure are all correct but the app does run and connect to the data services. They were:
Application Server type: ColdFusion
Use remote object access service
     ColdFusion flash remoting
Server Location:
     Deployed to Java application server
     Web Root: v:\inetpub\testFlex
     Root URL: http://myDevServerIP/
     ColdFusion Was folder: v:\CF9\JRun4\servers\testFlex\cfusion.ear\cfusion.war
My question is now when I'm ready to deploy to my production machine and load the app onto a tablet or other computer, obviously the Root URL will be different something like http://myLiveURL.com. Is this the only thing I change? Do I even change it here or is there some other location? Any other things I need to change?
Thanks!
Your help is much appreciated!

All the paths to CFCs are the same in my live production site. Can you be more specific as to what you mean by "RemoteClass aliases in your AS Classes and CFCs (if any) are correct."? How will the app know that the CFC is on http://myLiveSite.com instead of http://myDevSite.com? The only line of code that I have noticed that points to a URL is the endpoint in a file called _Super_XXX.as. And at the top of that file it says that the file is not meant for editting.
To clarify...I see your app/code all exists on a server access via a web browser so I can understand that everything still works when deployed. Mine is a mobile app so when I am developing and testing on my local computer the URL points to my local development machine. However when I deploy it to a mobile device like a tablet and run the app, it needs to be able to access a cfc on a remote server via a different URL ie. my http://myLiveSite.com/myCFC.cfc instead of http://localhost/myCFC.cfc
Thanks for your help! I will now take a look at your thread.

Debug the Flex Application with tomcat Server

Hi,
I have the adobe flex builder plugin with my eclipse and I created a Flex project which is running on my Tomcat Server. Now, I would like to run my application in debug mode and I could not see the debug perspective. But, if my application is not configured with tomcat server, I can the debug perspective in my eclipse.
Do we need to do any additional settings for viewing the debug perspective for Flex Applications which is configured in tomcat Server?

You can't debug an app on the server, at least not using the debug perspective. Troubleshooting deployed apps if far more difficult.
If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.

Building Flex Application with Flex Builder installed in a remote server

Building Flex Application with Flex Builder installed in a remote server and different developers accessing it via VNC etc
I have a requirement as below..........this is mainly to look for a solution where we can see a environment.............where we can stop developer to install flex builder locally, download/check out code locally and work locally ..............Please have a look ........
1. There is Remote Server hosting our source code say 1st Remote Server
2. There is another 2nd Remote Server which support workspace for each user
3. Flex Builder installed in the 2nd Remote Server
4. Each Developer connects to the 2nd Remote Server via VNC etc log in to their workspace
5. Each developer check out code in their workspace by connecting to 1st Remote Server.
6. Start Flex Builder instance which is running in the 2nd Remote Server
5. Each developer open source code modifies, build application in their workspace and check
Do anyone have any idea whether this kind of environment is possible in Flex or can anyone suggest something which is almost close to this ? I heard Cloud Computing is something that world is looking to represent this kind of solution .............not sure though

Hi
The concept of cloud computing is not even very clear to me
I think this is what I understood about it ...........from this link http://communication.howstuffworks.com/cloud-computing.htm
It says
"Instead of installing a suite of software for each computer, you'd only have to load one application. That application would allow workers to log into a Web-based service which hosts all the programs the user would need for his or her job. Remote machines owned by another company would run everything from e-mail to word processing to complex data analysis programs. It's called cloud computing, and it could change the entire computer industry"
"There's a good chance you've already used some form of cloud computing. If you have an e-mail account with a Web-based e-mail service like Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail or Gmail, then you've had some experience with cloud computing. Instead of running an e-mail program on your computer, you log in to a Web e-mail account remotely"
My issue is not with the license. The solution that I am looking for is
1. Don't want the developer to download the source code in any fashion either checked out or anything else in the local machine
2. Want the developer to work directly on the server
3. Looking for a solution where each developer is not required to install Flex Builder locally and the developer can use Flex Builder that is installed on the server and in his workspace and create/modify build on the server itself
Hope I could make you understand this time ................

Building Flex application with Flex Builder in a Remote Server - Cloud Computing

Hey Guys
I have a query or its confusion probably
I was just thinking if this kind of solution is existing or possible with say cloud computing or anything else?
This is what we all probably do for building our flex application?
1. There is Remote Server hosting our source code
2. Developer check out the code in their system locally by some Configuration tool like Perforce, CVS etc
3. Developer Install Flex Builder IDE locally and open the IDE and then create.build locally and then on testing check in the code in repository
All this is fine but we have some problem here
a. We have to get all the source code checked out/downloaded in some local machine
b. We have to install Flex Builder in each every developer machine with license.
A possible modification in the above can be as follows
1. Don't download/check out the source code locally in each machine
2. Create a mapped network drive of the Remote Repository and then work directly with the mapped network drive
3. Install Flex Builder locally
4. Start Flex Builder create a Flex Project with source code in the mapped network drive
But this has some potential problem as now the building of the flex application directly work with the mapped network drive. This is very slow especially when we Keep the "Build Automatically" Check box to true
My question is that can we have a solution like this ?
1. There is Remote Server hosting our source code
2. There is another 2nd Remote Server which support workspace for each user
3. Flex Builder installed in the 2nd Remote Server
4. Each Developer connects to the 2nd Remote Server log in to their workspace
5. Each developer check out code by connecting to 1st Remote Server. This code which is checked out now goes in their workspace in the 2nd Remote Server
6. Start Flex Builder instance which is running in the 2nd Remote Server
5. Each developer open source code modifies, build application in their workspace and check
I think this is something that I heard cloud computing can do ? Do anyone have any idea whether this kind of environment is possible in Flex or can anyone suggest something which is almost close to this ?

Loading a server side flex movie into a client side flex application

Hello all,
I'm running a local flex application that's loading another
flex movie from an external url into a container (via SWFLoader).
After setting up the whole crossdomain.xml issue, i'm facing
a weird problem:
The loaded swf shows up streched and does not inherit any
styles from the parent application. It also can not trigger any
function inside the parent application or the other way round.
When i load the same swf from my local filestore everything
is fine. It's also working properly when i load the parent
application from the same webserver the "loadin" swf comes from...
Does anyone know the problem? How can this be solved? Can it
be solved? If not, i'm in trouble..
Best regards,
N.

I'm not sure why it would be stretched. As for the other
issue, look at Security.allowDomain. If you want the loaded SWF to
have access to the parent Flex app, the parent Flex app must grant
permission using allowDomain. And vice-versa.

How to Call a AIR application from Flex Application

Hi,
    I have Used AIR (Desktop application) in Flex Builder to Upload a File from a local path and save it it a server path.

Modifying a Flex application to an AIR application

Hi,
    I am currently developing a prototype application which runs locally and not all functionality need be working, especially the file uploading/downloading and file browsing capabilities, due to time constraints. In working I setup a flex application, and now realize that same functionality could be handled in a more gracious fashion by AIR.
     My question is how much more work is it modifying my prototype into a full AIR app when the time comes? I have a feeling it is not as easy as just including some AIR classes into my current prototype, right? And would I be better off, creating a new flex 3 project altogether, and repurposing what code needs to be re-purposed?
    For example, I might need the ability to import custom artwork to be displayed in the application, which comes from the local filesystem, but can be saved or sent to a remote server. Initially, I used the FileReference class, but now am pondering if using adobe AIR would cut my development time, now and in the future.
Any enlightenment would be helpful, since from reading the documentation on Adobe AIR, I'm not quite sure of where the line in the sand is drawn between its framework and flex's framework is drawn.

It could be as easy as changing the Application tag to WindowedApplication and creating an application descriptor file.
I'm not sure if you can change a Flex web project into a desktop project, so you might have to create a new project in the F. Builder IDE. (If you are using the command line tools, that's not an issue.)
As to the "line in the sand," AIR is at the same level as Flash Player (in the browser or standalone). The Flex framework runs in either. There are a handful of features in Flex that work in AIR , but not in Flash Player (because they use AIR-only APIs).

How to open user file in Flex Application

Hi forum,
I develop flex2 application where user can browse and open
XML file: the file should be loaded to text area.
Could you, please, advice me how to browse and open user
file?
I found FileReference class but it looks that it can only
upload file to a server. I need to open the file in flex
application.
Thanks for your help.

The issue isn't Flex, but the Flash Player. It is too much of
a security risk to allow SWFs running in the Flash Player to open
local files. Imagine going to a web site that has a SWF banner ad -
but that banner ad opens local files and sends them to a remote
system - all of your personal and financial information transfered
without your consent.
Flex apps running in the AIR player are different - the end
user must launch them explicitly, just like any other local
program.
