  Flex Builder cannot locate the required version of Flash Player Error: Firefox & FP 9.0.124

  Andrei Ionescu | 02.06.08 | Permalink | 3 Comments

  Today I upgraded my flash player to version 9.0.124 and I’m referring to the debug version of it.
  The upgrade went OK on IE, I downloaded the version for IE from Adobe’s download page (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/9/flashplayer_9_ax_debug.exe), I installed it and everything worked out.
  I was thinking: “Great! That was easy! Let’s do it for Firefox also…”. I […]

  During last week I had to do a small application for AIR. That was until friday when I had to release it and found out that the app had to work also in normal browser. Since almost all the code was independent of the type of app (AIR/Flex) my task was pretty easy:

  Get all existing […]

  Converting a flex 2 app to air

  Virgil Cristea | 23.04.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Last week I tried to convert a small flex 2 application to air. It went pretty smooth with some minor exceptions that were fixed fast. So if you have a flex 2 app and did not do anything fancy in it then it all should work fine.

  Flex and PHP web-service

  Virgil Cristea | 17.02.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  Yesterday I had to do a small flex application that resided on a server with php. Since I required a connection to mysql I wanted to use the same class I did before to connect to web-services. But PHP does not support web-services (and WSDL) by default.

  How To Remove the “Black Line” from a Tree Control (Drag and Drop Enabled)

  Andrei Ionescu | 08.02.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  Today I found a way to remove the “black line” of a tree which has drag and drop functionality enabled. I did that by skinning. Searching through the help I’ve been crossing over a property named “dropIndicatorSkin” where (as its name is suggesting) the drop line is drawn. So I just re-skinned it.
  Here is the […]

  Andrei Ionescu | 07.02.08 | Permalink | 8 Comments

  Two days ago I needed to customize the very first preloader of a flex application (the one that is shown before finishing loading initialization classes of flex). My first impression was that it cannot be changed because I thought is something built in the Flash Player but at the end I found a way using […]

  RSL further details

  Virgil Cristea | 08.01.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  As I have played with RSLs more I saw something surprising: If I compile the swc into a swf the resulting swf is bigger (almost twice) as it should have been. When you use compc to create a SWC, the SWF inside the SWC contains a lot of unnecessary stuff when used as […]
