Use Flex DragManager instead of AIR NativeDragManager

How do you use the Flex DragManager class for dragging and
dropping in an AIR application instead of the AIR NativeDragManager
class?
I do not need to drag and drop between the desktop or
anything. Simply dragging and dropping within the AIR
application.

There's an open bug in the Flex SDK and workaround for this
at

Using flex for air 2.0

Hi,
I don't know if anybody will be able to help. I use a company to create software for me. They have been using Flex to create a menu system that runs in the Air application. The software was running fine when using Air 1.5. However, since the update to 2.0 there are now issues with the software.
Are the coding practices of the company I am using wrong? Should they be designing with Air 2.0 in mind?
Obviously i understand that this isn't an issue with Adobe. But I am concerned that this company will not tell me the whole truth and if this would be better solved using legal advice?
I appreciate any help you can give.
Thanks!

Hi,
Sorry your running into problems with Voddler. There aren't any known issues with AIR on Danish XP systems. Have you tried contacting Voddler to see what they have to say?

Desktop app based on AIR using Flex

Hi
I am a .NET/PHP programmer and is new to Flex. We have a requirement for a small desktop application to be provided as a service download (ref: BBC news ticker). I read that Flex would be a good option.
My questions are as follows:
1. Your feedback on using Flex
2. Is Flex 4 to Flex 3 better to start with (newbie)
3. Do I require any other investment other than Flash Builder
4. Any disdvantages in using Flex compared to a Windows app (apart from OS compatibility issues)
I may be asking too many questions in my first post itself. However, this will help me to decide the technology for my requirement.
Kindly request all Flex developers who has some time to spare to reply to my above post. Thanks in advance for all your vaulable inputs.
Regards
Sheni

Sorry.
I run this code only on debug-build.
Exported release build does not reproduce the crash.
To reproduce on release ipa package,
change BaseView#doSomething function like this.
public function doSomething(e:*):void
trace("do something"); // Add this line
Could you please try again.
I run the app on
iPad mini + iOS 8.1
AIR SDK version 17.0.0 build 96
Flash Builder 4.7
Regards.

I am going to make a board game like chess using flex air

Dear, ~~
I am going to make a board game like chess using flex air.
I would greatly appreciate it if you let me know if it is
possible to make a board game as follows.
[Environment]
1. server : Visual C++
2. client : Flex air
[Client & Server Requirement]
1. server should have capacity concurrent user over 3000
2. client refresh game room list almost realtime
3. client refresh waiting user list almost realtime
4. support 1 vs 3000 chatting system ex) one teacher vs 3000
students
5. broadcast information of move stone to almost 1000 room
(each room has at least 2 user)
6. process 100 ~ 500 packets per one second.
Thanks for reading this.

Hi,
This should be possible. Sounds pretty interesting. Let us
know what happens of this.

Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
Thanks guys,

Manipulating XML file using flex 2.0

Hi,
how to add contents in to xml file using flex 2.0, ie i
actually wants to write data in to a xml file, so that data to be
appended at the end of the file.
Kumar

You can't! Well, at least Flex cannot do this. All Flex can
do is send this data -- any data -- to the server and it's up to
you how you want to append this data to a file on the server.
You see, flex can't write to local files. If you looking for
client side file manipulation, take a look at Flex's desktop
brother call AIR!

Wish To Use Flex 2 For My University Project

Dear All
I am a mature student studying a Computer Science Degree in
the UK .
For my final year project, I am creating a Stock Market
Simulation with a Database back end (e.g. SQLite ?) and some kind
of front end, both to be run a a stand-alone machine.
I have a 28 weeks to design, build and run it for my
supervisors. I would like to push myself academically by building
the software using Flex 2, for the GUI and even to carry out any
calculations or processing needed for the simulation to operate
correctly.
My questions are
1) Is it possible to create the simulation as I can find no
definitive way to connect Flex 2 directly to a database back end in
a similar way to ADO.net?
2) If it is possible which book do you recommend to get the
best and quickest results out of Flex 2?
Thanks In Advance
Steven

You are correct, Flex does not natively connect to any
database. Further, security restrictions on both the browser and
the Flash Player prevent access to *any* client resources, such as
the filesystem.
So if you use standard Flex, you will need some back-end web
technology. This can be almost any platform/language you choose.
Now, the newest, coolest thing in the Adobe world is AIR. AIR
applications can be written using Flex, Flash, HTML and javascript,
and have full access to client asseets. AIR is essentially an
internet delivered desktop application.
AIR has SQLLite database built-in.
AIR is currently in public Beta. I do not know what will be
available as far as non-commercial or educational licensing when it
is realeased.
I don't have a book to recommend, but here is a partial list
of on-line resources:

Using flex 2.0 charting components with flex 3

I purchased and installed a flex 2 charting components
library so i could use it in my AIR application development. It
installed alongside the 3.0 beta visualization components so that I
now have two copies of each component in my charts folder. I can't
see how to ensure that the right library is used so that the charts
actually appear when i run my app. I'd hate to think i just threw
away $300 so any help would be greatly appreciated - .

Are you using Flex Builder 3? Flex 3.0 beta Data
visualization components are available as part of FB 3 only. You
can select either 2.0.1 hotfix 3 charts (consists of only
charts.swc) or 3.0.0 data visualization (consists of
datavisualization.swc). through multiple sdks feature of FB3. For
flex 3 beta, flex 2 charting key will work. so if you want to try
out new features in charts and new components like Advanced data
grid you can switch to 3.0.0 sdk and use same flex 2 charting key
to remove watermark from charts.

Consuming toPDFA and isPDFA methods in DOCConverterService in Flex Builder 3.0 AIR Application

Hi All,
Does anyone have sample code how to consume and use the Docconverter service from Adobe Livecycle 8.2 ES in Flex Builder 3.0 AIR Application. I want to consume both the methods 1) toPDFA and 2) isPDFA methods to convert a PDF to PDFA and to check the compliance after conversion. If any one could help me in this, would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance
Umashanker.K

I think the problem you are experiencing is this one:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=511
You probably have Subclipse 1.2.4 installed, which is the
latest official release. But the new release based on Subversion
1.5 has been in development for over a year. It will be version
1.4.0 and probably released next week when Subversion 1.5 is
released.

Flex 4.5.1 AIR 2.6 android mobile application

I am trying my first Flex(4.5.1)/AIR(2.6) mobile application for android. I am using Flash Builder 4.5.1. I am able to run the application on desktop selecting the Target platform as Google Android and Google Nexus One as device to simulate. But I am facing problem in running the application on device. I exported the application for Google Android, it resulted in a HelloWorld.apk file. Then I installed it on device, it was installed with Success. When I tried to launch the application, I was getting blank screen. As my device was attached to my PC, I collected the logs. The logs were as follows:
01-12 06:54:45.625: INFO/ActivityManager(95): No longer want android.process.media (pid 7237): hidden #16 01-12 06:54:47.205: INFO/ActivityManager(95): Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x10200000 cmp=air.HelloWorld/.AppEntry } from pid 178 01-12 06:54:47.595: INFO/ActivityManager(95): Displayed air.HelloWorld/.AppEntry: +343ms 01-12 06:54:52.665: DEBUG/dalvikvm(178): GC_EXPLICIT freed 23K, 52% free 3122K/6407K, external 5443K/6797K, paused 60ms
Please help me out I am unable to see the application after launch.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Earlier it was not installed. So it prompted me to install AIR. Then I installed it. So AIR runtime is installed on device.
The code i tried to was:

hi
you can do it with AIR using Native Process - see http://gotoandlearn.com/play.php?id=125
if its not AIR, it cant be done (as Flash Player has no access to your system except file browsing)

When to use Flex Or Flash Or HTML-Javascript

I am Experimenting with Adobe AIR. I know AIR Applications
can be developed either using Html-Javascript Or Flex Or Flash.
But can anybody HELP me understand when do i exactly use Flex
or HTML-JS.
Well i know one of the reason to use Flex is to build
RIA's.What are the other Possible reasons ?? can i draw a Decision
Boundry between them??

The best reason to choose one tool over the other is that you
have something working in that language already, and are just
extending it into the AIR world.
If you're starting a new project, you then have to balance
tools you have and know how to use against the strengths of the
tools. A tool you don't know has to have some pretty compelling
strengths to make you take the time to learn it, unless you're just
doing it for fun. If not for fun, the effort has to pay off, yes?
Very generally speaking, here are the strengths of the tools,
as I see it.
For HTML + Javascript, just look at what you see on the web
today. People are pushing browsers pretty hard these days with web
apps, so that gives you a good first-order idea of the power of
this tool set. The AIR environment does give you some more power,
not just in the AIR APIs, but also in having a single modern
browser to develop for, so you don't have to limit yourself to IE6
compatible code. Still, it's not yet the equal of the other tools
in some areas.
Flash's main advantage over the others is in applications
with lots of graphics and animation. The reason for this is purely
because that's what the Flash authoring environment is geared to
produce. It's not got a very good ActionScript editor, and as a
consequence there's a practical limit on how much code you want to
write in a given project. It's not a question of whether you
can write a 20,000 line ActionScript program within the
Flash environment, it's a question of whether it's better done in
another tool.
One of the best "other tools" when you end up with lots of
code is Flex. With the "Builder", you get Ecipse, and without, you
are presumably using some other worthy programming environment.
But, you give up the graphic and animation tools from Flash, and
you give up a lot of the simplicity of HTML + Javascript.
You can combine them, of course. You could build a whizzy GUI
control in Flash to use in a Flex application which is hosted
inside a web page, for instance.

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.
vErGo_O

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).

Benefits of using an RSL in an AIR application?

I understand the general benefits of using a RSL in a web-based application. That is, when a RSL is not merged into the code, it provides a quicker download. Also, a RSL can be edited without recompiling the main application. I am correct so far?
But my main question is what benefits does a RSL serve when it is used in an AIR application? The RSL would be downloaded when they initiate the AIR installer, so the “quick” download benefit wouldn’t be available. The only benefit I see, and please correct me if you see any other, is if a developer is using a RSL instead of directly embedding an asset into the code to provide a quicker compile time, eg:
<mx:Button label="Icon Button" icon="@Embed(source='c:/myapp/assets/logo.gif')"/>

ArchWiki wrote:Obviously, an external journal is only effective if the journal and its file system exists on separate physical devices.
That's the problem, I don't know if there's any benefit to having a separate journal partition on the same device, which all the other partitions use. Would localizing journal writes to one partition improve performance, or just create a single-point-of-failure hazard?
