Very nice indeed. Indeed with the OO purists certainly the Memento Design Pattern is needed as well as the Command Design Pattern for the actions would be a great addition.

we can achieve this by setting 'showdataTips' property to true and writing a 'dataTipFunction' as below: public function fun():String { return data.label;//label is the property which we want to display in tooltip; } we can customized tooltip also using this like by change the return statement to: return data.Name+' ' +data.rank;

Even just tracing out what you are importing directly can help ensure the compiler sees it. import com.mydomain.myclasses.MyClass; trace(com.mydomain.myclasses.MyClass); Then in another file that imports whatever file you put that in, you can do something like this: var myClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("com.mydomain.myclasses.MyClass") as Class;

I didn't succeed embedding Flex 4 SWF file into Flex 3 application. Marshall Plan is a part of both Flex 4 SDK and Flex 3.2 (and later) SDK, but it seems it work only one way. Please comment it's possible, thanks !

That sounds like a neat trick but I'm going to have to ask you to post more details about how you did it. On the Cookbooks the whole point is to share code and specific solutions to specific problems, and while interesting this post doesn't help anyone who doesn't already know how to do that. Can I talk you into expanding it to include some sample code etc? Thanks!

thanks, just what I was looking for. Wondering if the reverse is possible, e.g., use SWC from Flex 4 with a Flex 3 project.

Cool, thanks - I'm going to bookmark this for the inevitable next time I get handed a writhing mess of XML data, probably prefaced by the PM saying "So this should be pretty simple, right?" ;)

Mykola Bilokonsky — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:15:30 GMT

Fantastic, Tyler, thanks! I guess the trick then, if you have some heavy debugging code, is to isolate all of it in a class that you instantiate if the variable is set to true but don't instantiate if it's set to false. Or better yet use it as a factory class - if DEBUG == true, debugger = MyHeavyDebuggerClass(); otherwise, debugger = MyLightDebuggerPlaceholderToKeepMethodCallsFromBreaking(). Or something like that? Anyway thanks for the content, and feel free to share some more wisdom with us! :)

ben.kanizay — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 17:17:56 GMT

I'd have to agree that the first I though of was the native concat() method.

http://cookbooks.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=showdetails&postId=16270

drukepple — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 09:37:15 GMT

Funny, when you said "the first thing that comes to peoples mind..." the first that I thought of was concat(). The only difference between concat and the method you offer is that concat returns a new Array. And to me, I would expect a "merge" to take two arrays and merge them into a third one anyway. So I'm not sure what we're accomplishing here. Seems like a convoluted way to replace concat().

http://cookbooks.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=showdetails&postId=16270

nunorosa — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 06:51:00 GMT

Why "apply"? Array.push already accepts rest parameter, same for concat. Another thing, push method return a "int" being the amount of elements pushed. That code will throw a Type Coercion RTE.

paroot — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 05:14:07 GMT

You could also consider another two ways: return array1.concat(array2); or return array1.splice(0,0,array2)

Mykola Bilokonsky — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 09:21:47 GMT

Sure - if you're doing a flex project. My methodology works for all AS3 projects whether or not you have access to the flex framework.

Mykola Bilokonsky — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 08:12:49 GMT

Cool, thanks for this post! MVC is definitely a useful approach to anything more complicated than a simple data output display, and you've summed up the gist of it here. I was going to point you towards Cairngorm and Pure MVC but I see you've already got those links at the end. You're sure you're new to Flex development? :P Thanks for writing, and please submit more! You obviously have a pretty strong understanding of advanced programming concepts, so the more you can contribute the better off we'll all be! :)

Thanks for this, it looks like a useful tool. I hope you don't mind, I went through and rephrased the problem and solution entries to make them more appropriate for a cookbook entry - let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for the content, and please feel free to contribute more!

This hard-codes the server address. It would be better to use {server.name} {server.port} tokens, for instance, for use an explicit channelSet: ..now close all the tags...

I figured it would be simple and it was. This was exactly the solution I needed. RemoteClass to the rescue! Many thanks.

This looks interesting but the code display looks broken to me. I can only see part of the comment class. Is there somewhere I can download this code from? Thanks.

shaffi ullah — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 19:47:44 GMT

in Flash , you can use like this, var appWindow:NativeWindow = this.stage.nativeWindow; appWindow.x = (Capabilities.screenResolutionX - appWindow.width) / 2; appWindow.y = (Capabilities.screenResolutionY - appWindow.height) / 2;

corbanb2 — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 22:28:34 GMT

This works great in Flex but what about in Flash? How do you get the nativeWindow to work in an all as3 project?

http://cookbooks.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=showdetails&postId=9404

jordan brough — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 03:24:28 GMT

If you used 'file.url' instead of 'file.nativePath' then you wouldn't have to do the "Capabilities.os.search" bit.

dSpen — Sun, 17 May 2009 21:24:27 GMT

Your code works great when the user manually closes the app, but is there any way to get it to prompt them on system shutdown and halt the shutdown while they respond? (e.g. Like MS Word does if you haven't saved)

I would be nice if we could include an encrypted SQLite db. We could use this for storing application and API keys for example.

I see event handlers onSQLError and connectSuccess, but no addEventListener calls. _hasConnection will be false indefinitely.

Hi, I'm wondering if you can also pass some results back to the command line, or trace strings to the command line while the application is running. That would be fabulous. Thanks!

Hi, I have tried adopting this script to work for an AIR application built in Flash CS3, but it seems to error stating that naviteWindow is an undefined property. Is there way to position the application in the center of the user's screen?

http://cookbooks.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=showdetails&postId=9543

NielsBjerg — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 20:18:30 GMT

Some of the errors can be caused by running the air app through the Flex Builder in debug mode. Mihai Corlan has a list on his blog: http://corlan.org/2008/06/19/how-to-easily-and-seamlessly-update-an-air-application/

Cathness — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:09:53 GMT

Contrary to the problem stated, it is not possible to create a table that already existsthis is an SQLite feature, not even AIR's. AIR will throw an SQLError #3115 ("table '[table_name]' already exists") when you try to create an already existing table (or an SQLErrorEvent containing that error, respectively, when you access the database asynchronously). So this post represents a nice solution to make sure that a table will exist when it's needed, not to avoid loss of table data. Best regards, C.

In setting up for deployment, I've had to add a MIME type to the Windows IIS Server. The extension is '.air' and the type is 'application/octet-stream'. For URL's using a domain name, you just add the MIME type to that web site. If accessing via an IP address, add it to the Default Web Site for that server. Test your update URL's in your browser, if your browser can't grab the update.xml or the .AIR file itself, neither can AIR.

HI, Tanks for the detailed explanation. But i have downloaded LCDS 2.6 version, i see flex.war is missing in the package. But lcds.war exists. I took lcds.war and tried to deploy in tomcat webapps folder for installing on Tomcat. But it was routing to the Adobe LCDS home page not to the samples page. Could you please let me know if flex.war is not present in the folder, how would we configure it, Thnaks,
