• I have never seen flex to sell... How can I get a copy of it and what is the difference between she and flash?

  Hey;

  I heard great stuff about flex, but I've never seen for sale. I read that it's better for real-time Flash programs. I don't know if it of true or not. What flex is that flash is not and how the flex language better than the flash language? Or am I totally confused and flex is as an add-on to Flash? any guidance would be really appreciated. I'm working on something oriented object that needs to be in real time, I'm looking for the best program that offers that.

  I am fairly new to this also and all these words killed me for my first few weeks in this area, but I have my feet under me now.

  Flex is an Open Source SDK provided by Adobe (formerly Macromedia). It used to be something they sold, but they opensourced there, Hooray!

  Flash is the set of APIs that begin with flash.*, and you can fully create animations flash with just the standard flash API.

  Flex comes with a ton of very useful components, features and functionality based on the flash. You should definitely download and become familiar with flex.

  The flex api beginning with mx.*

  Flex also offers the possibility to compile the MXML documents in flash. MXML documents make it very easy to build Flash, complete with animations, customizations, etc. in a HTML format. Take a look at the Component Explorer link below and you will see the MXML generated for the components of the example. You can copy and paste this MXML (looking at simple stuff huh?) and get an app to work you can develop and play with as you learn.

  Here are some useful links to help you move in the right direction:

• Button links using the external pages

  Hi everyone, loving every second I use Flash Catalyst.

  I was wonder and looking for a way to make a button object catalyst able to make a link to an external page.

  Now, what I do is basically using catalyst (in project) to create a menu for use in a CSS template,.

  and I'm only a little stuck trying to figure this.

  If I export for use in Flash Builder, which is a good step towards adding the link to the said button function?

  If anyone knows how to do correctly to do this, let me know.

  Thank you.

  "Catalyst has replaced my bordom with pleasure!

  Hey Mike!

  Then, the button dispatches an event whenever it receives a click.

  So, you could do the following:

  Then, add a script block to your application, after and before, that looks like this:

  protected function handleClick (): void

  {

  navigateToURL (new URLRequest ("http://www.adobe.com"), '_self');

  }

  ]]>

  It has more examples in the flex language reference documentation using buttons/events here:

  http://livedocs.Adobe.com/Flex/gumbo/langref/spark/components/button.html

  I would like to know how it works for you, and again, it's a workflow we will reflect and hoping to make it easier for users in the future, stay tuned.

• Screen of transition between the views in Flex Hero App for Playbook

  Hello.

  I created an application using the Flex using Flash Builder (Burrito) hero. I should also point out that I created the application as a mobile application ( ).

  Now, the problem is that when the application starts, I put a start page by default in the file Blackberry - tablet.xml. This shows. But then the application loads the default app (myApp.mxml) view. The code is as follows:

  
  http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                  xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                  width="1024" height="600" firstView="views.myAppHome">
  
                  
                  
                  
  
  

  From there, it goes directly to the views.myAppHome. What happens, however, is that between the blackberry file boot image - tablet.xml and the background of the views.myAppHome.mxml file, I get a brief moment where the default background of the file shows myApp.mxml. Is any way to get rid of this? Can I just put a similar to the start page background image in the file myApp.xml? Or should I take altogether on the myApp.mxml file and continue straight to the views.myAppHome.mxml?

  * I did this way based on a tutorial several months ago. This tutorial, however, had additional features that I removed. Currently, I have an opinion, but will probably add another any further on the road.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you!

  Looks like you were using the preview version of Flex 4.5.  Setting to false BorderVisible works for me in the build of the 4.5 version:

• Flex Build hero 18623 - alert missing control!

  Hello

  I just started to use the hero for one of my projects but I get - "1172: definition mx.controls:Alert not found.» When I check, that there is there no control alert one more and I can't find any replacement spark plug?

  Please feel free to enlighten me :-)

  Morgan

  Alert control has been moved to mx.swc, in the frameworks/libs/mx directory. MX.swc should be on the way to the library, unless your project is configured as "Spark" only in the Flex Build Path properties.

• Flex Hero prepare() method gridItemRenderer

  Hello

  last week, I installed Flash Builder Burrito to try the new spark dataGrid. I was testing the gridItemRenderer. I wanted to check something data form and according to the results, the item converter must have three different conditions. But unfortunately I could operate the function prepare(). I did as it has shown in Adobe TV (Deep Dive in Spark DataGrid), but even a trace() has not been triggered.

  This method does not work or I do something wrong?

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  Which version of the Flex SDK are you using? It is a fixed bug where we weren't calling prepare(). Sorry for the inconvenience. You can get a newer version of the SDK here: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+Hero in the section 'Built hero' that should have the fix in it.

• Scroller with scroll fixed in Flex 4 and Flex Hero?

  On the question,

  I have a simple application with a news section where I use the list to display the news. Each press is displayed in an ItemRenderer. The rendering looks like this:

  < s:VGroup >

  < label / >

  < text / >

  < text / >

  < / s:VGroup

  In the label, I put the date, in the 1st text I put in title, and in the 2nd, I put the content.

  Virtualization is disabled, the news are adjustable in height as you probably thought that some of the images.

  So the problem is not new I guess, but I couldn't find a solution in the web, so I ask here again:

  When I use my mouseWheel on the list, it climbs all the way to the next new (ItemRenderer). Is not that a user expects. I have the wheel to scroll 30px e.g. mouseWheel scrolling.

  The question is: How can I do this? Should be simple, but it is not, can not believe...

  The news are populated dynamics of xml data, this is why I used the List component. If there is a better way to resolve things where works made scrolling me know.

  Also, I was wondering if anyone knows if in Flex Hero, it would be easier to do? I need still a solution for now though.

  Thank you!

  This thread shows how to customize the mouse scroll wheel:

• Flex Hero and graphics Mx

  I have an obligation to use mx.charts in my application mobile, as suggested in article

  http://www.Adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/mobile_development_hero_burrito.html#articlecont entAdobe_numberedheader_3g

  I added datavisualization.swc and mx.swc in the path of the library, but I'm still not able to refrence any graphics. Don't know if I need to change the workspace names or something.

  If someone has created a mobile application using hero and mx.charts please let me know what I should do to fix this problem...

  Thanks in advance.

  I managed to get the mx graphics to compile and deploy applications mobile Burrito by creating custom namespaces, for example:

  xmlns:charts = "MX. Charts.* ".
  xmlns:series = "MX. "Charts.Series.."
  xmlns:chartClasses = "MX. "Charts.chartClasses.."

  Then, referring to them in the charts:

  I have included datavisualization.swc, mx.swc and sparkskins.swc in my way.

• dropShadowEnabled is no longer supported in Flex Hero build 17689

  Hello

  I use the last 'nocturnes' Flex 4.5 SDK, build 17689.  It seems that the dropShadowEnabled property is more compatible with the default skin of heroes.  I get this error on compilation:

  "DropShadowVisible' style is only supported by the type"spark.components.Panel"with the themes"spark. "

  Is it possible to disable the shadow without making a custom panel skin?  Now, I have shadows at the top of the shade that I use panels in other panels and shadows where I do not need/want them.

  Thank you.

  @Alon K.,.

  When you say "no longer supported", you have seen this work in previous versions when you use the Spark Panel and Halo theme?

  I tried this code w / Flex 4.0 and the theme of Halo and saw the same error (which I believe is the correct behavior since I use the Halo theme, but the style is supported only by the spark theme):

  http://ns.Adobe.com/MXML/2009.

  xmlns:s = "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark".

  xmlns:MX = "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" >

  title = 'Spark Panel title'

  dropShadowVisible = "{ch.selected} '"

  Width = "300" height = "150".

• Flex Hero - good way to change the style/color

  There must be an easy way to change the hue of the view... or more precisely the ActionBar/header at the top.

  For example, as I see on this site:

  http://Thoughtfaqtory.com/blog/2010/11/10/Adobe-Flex-Mobile-overview-part-1/

  I would like to be able to change the background colors for something else then the default value is black.  I need to create a new skin for this?

  Darren

  You can set the ActionBar chromeColor.

• List of heroes of Flex is not floating?

  It makes no sense to me.  My display configuration has a static group upward (which does not scroll) and a list that is supposed to be scrollable (if necessary).

  Here is the mxml:

  < s:HGroup = gap "10" paddingLeft = "10" width = "100%" >
  < s:Image id = "account_logo" width = "152" height = "155" / >
  < s:VGroup paddingTop = "10" >
  < s:Label id = "account_company" text = "account_company" fontWeight = "bold" fontSize = "23" / >
  < s:Label id = "account_address" fontSize = "18" = "italic" fontStyle text = "account_address" / >
  < s:Label id = "account_city" fontSize = "18" = "italic" fontStyle text = "account_city" / >
  < s:Label id = "account_phone" click = "account_phone_clickHandler (event)" fontSize = "18" "
  Text = "account_phone" textDecoration = "underline" / >
  < s:Label id = "account_email" click = "account_email_clickHandler (event)" fontSize = "18" "
  Text = "account_email" textDecoration = "underline" / >
  < / s:VGroup >
