GeoLocation does not show lat, lan
Thread posted on Sep 22 by paromitadey

Hi,

I was trying the sample GeoLocation sample for Mobiles from Tour De Flex mobile sample codes. Applied necessary permissions, but when I tried to run the app from an Android device, I am not getting any values for Lattitude or Longitude. Any idea where I may be going wrong in the steps. Attached is the sample project.

Any clues on this would be very helpful.

Thanks :)

Problem in showing multilingual special characters in Flex Accordion Header
Thread posted on Jul 09 by Kuntal Sinha

Hi All,

I am facing a very specific problem during development of one of my current projects in multi-language usinh Flex in UI. Here I am using embedded fonts for showing all text content in UI. Only problem is that different european characters (e.g french, portoguese, danish etc) are not coming in Accordion headers. So could you please tell me what will be the solution for that to show those characters in Accordion, is there any special settings required?

Can't add a simple TextField in RichTExtEditor
Thread posted on Aug 24 by arindam.mojumder

Hello All,

I am very much confused with this problem and couldn't find out any solution.
Whenever I am trying to add a TextField object into a RichTextEditor, it not showing, but when I am applying the same method to add a button it is working fine.
Even I can't add a TextField in to the stage also.

Adding TextField: (Not working)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
 <mx:Script>
     <![CDATA[
    
        import mx.containers.*;
        import mx.controls.*;
        import flash.display.Sprite;
        import flash.text.TextField;
        import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
        import flash.text.TextFormat;

        
        
         public var txtFld:TextField;
       
        
         public function intRt():void{
           
            txtFld= new TextField();
            txtFld.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
            txtFld.background = true;
            txtFld.border = true;
            txtFld.text="vcdihsvidshv eveir bveurvb";
            txtFld.autoSize="true";
           

            var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
            format.font = "Verdana";
            format.color = 0xFF0000;
            format.size = 10;
            format.underline = true;

            txtFld.defaultTextFormat = format;

            rte.toolbar.addChild(txtFld);
       
         }
     ]]>
 </mx:Script>
 
<mx:RichTextEditor id="rte" width="500" height="500" creationComplete="intRt()"/>
</mx:Application>





Adding Button: (Working)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

        import flash.text.TextFormat;
        
         public function intRt():void{
        
        var but:Button = new Button();
        but.label = 'Post News';
        rte.toolbar.addChild(but);

       
         }
     ]]>
 </mx:Script>
 
<mx:RichTextEditor id="rte" width="500" height="500" creationComplete="intRt()"/>
</mx:Application>


Can anyone explain this problem and solve it?

Flex Utilities 3
Thread posted on Mar 24 by wincliff

Hello, World

I am starting what I think is a very relevant thread with a totally irrelevant question. How does one create his own blog in this group (or is the blog only for the group admin)? I just had to ask since I spent 30 minutes trying to create a blog :-)

Now that irrelevant bit out of the way, here is the relevant fodder for thought:

Can we use Flex to create a suite of utilities? Some suggestions for this suite are:

1) A pixel measurer
Get inspired by http://www.mioplanet.com/products/pixelruler/ and http://iconico.com/caliper/

2) A desktop currency converter with the provision of an offline mode. The exchange rate database gets updated when an active connection is found.
Should be as easy as http://xe.com

3) A calculator. Do you really love the default one provided by Windows? :-)
Please see this free software http://www.graphcalc.com/download.shtml

4) A very light weight/small memory foot print "GTD" application. GTD is "getting things done", a concept which got David Allen lots of "things" I am sure {such as bank balances ;-) }.

5) Can Flex hook on to Windows system calls? If yes then why not take a look at the bottom-right of your screen right now! Yes I am talking about a system date/time utility!

6) A simple yet stunning smart presentation creator. Don't you feel that at times Impress or PowerPoint can be a bit of an overkill?!
Get inspired by this very light weight tool of Eric Meyer

7) This last one (at least for now) can be an old wine in a new bottle. We already have this toXML converter. I am wondering if we can measure the performance of the present application (done in VB) against a one done in Flex. Just trying to find another pretext to bash M$ ;-)

So there it was! My 7 GTD wishlist!

Of course you know that in a roll of 2 dice, the most probable sum of numbers is 7 (it occurs 6 times). Is that the reason why God rested on the 7th day? Hmmmmmm....

Cheers and happy hacking!

Migration Tips from ActionScript 2.0 to Actionscript 3.0 3
Thread posted on Jan 23 by basakarunava

It is in fact a bit of a pain while changing the coding pattern from Actionscript 2.0 to ActionScript 3.0.
One very simple problem , that I faced personally was referencing a parent movieclip.

In ActionScript 2.0, the "_parent" syntax refers to the parent movieclip from the child movieclip. And the "_root" refer to the root timeline.

Using the same syntax in ActionScript 3.0, will however, result in an error. Now all the movieclips are instances of the DisplayObject class, and there are no "_parent" or "_root" property present with the said class.

So what do we do? Its simple. The typecast operator comes to our rescue. Typecasting the parent using the MovieClip() instance solves the problem. As an example, consider the following scenario:

"child_mc" is a movieclip inside "parent_mc" movieclip, and it is required to access the "count" property present inside the "parent_mc" from the "child_mc".

The syntax for tracing the property will be:

_parent.count (ActionScript 2.0 syntax)

MovieClip(parent).count (ActionScript 3.0 syntax)

Please note that in ActionsCript 3.0, we are no longer using the "_"(underscore) with the property names, hence the "_name" becomes "name" Similarly, "_parent" becomes "parent".

Please share your findings.

transition in flash cs3 comboBox 1
Thread posted on Jan 13 by arindam.mojumder

Hello All,

I just want to give a opening and closing transition in to a comboBox in flash cs3 ascript 3.0. I got a script from Adobelivedoc but its working only with ascript 2.0 but not with ascript 3.0.
Can any one tell me how can I implement this code or functionality in ascript 3.0? I think if its work on as 2.0 component then it must work on as 3.0 component also.

import mx.transitions.easing.*;
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.ComboBox, "my_cb", 20);

var product_array:Array = new Array("Studio", "Dreamweaver", "Flash", "ColdFusion", "Contribute", "Breeze", "Director", "Flex");
my_cb.dataProvider = product_array;

my_cb.move(10, 10);
my_cb.setSize(140, 22);
my_cb.setStyle("openDuration", 2000);
my_cb.setStyle("openEasing", Elastic.easeOut);
