Re: Adobe has announced the end-of-life of the Flash Player

I remember reading that browsers won't be supporting after that.

Re: Slow performance > 1000 objects

[Clint M]

instead of list.addChild you might want to have a look at using an mx:List
or s:List with useVirtualLayout for that many items

Re: ArrayElementType?

[Clint M]

It's in the docs:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf680e1-7ffe.html#WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7a2c

ArrayElementType metadata tag

When you define an Array variable in ActionScript, you specify Array as the
data type of the variable. However, you cannot specify the data type of the
elements of the Array.

To allow the Flex MXML compiler to perform type checking on Array elements,
you can use the [ArrayElementType] metadata tag to specify the allowed data
type of the Array elements, as the following example shows:

public class MyTypedArrayComponent extends VBox {

[ArrayElementType("String")]
public var newStringProperty:Array;

[ArrayElementType("Number")]
public var newNumberProperty:Array;
...
}
Note: The MXML compiler checks for proper usage of the Array only in MXML
code; it does not check Array usage in ActionScript code.
In this example, you specify String as the allowed data type of the Array
elements. If a user attempts to assign elements of a data type other than
String to the Array in an MXML file, the compiler issues a syntax error, as
the following example shows:



94062
14850
53402


In this example, you try to use Number objects to initialize the Array, so
the compiler issues an error.

You can also specify Array properties as tag attributes, rather than using
child tags, as the following example shows:


This MXML code generates an error because Flex cannot convert the Strings
"abc" and "def" to a Number.

You insert the [ArrayElementType] metadata tag before the variable
definition. The tag has the following syntax:

[ArrayElementType("elementType")]
The following table describes the property of the [ArrayElementType]
metadata tag:

Property

Type

Description

elementType
String

Specifies the data type of the Array elements, and can be one of the
ActionScript data types, such as String, Number, class, or interface.

You must specify the type as a fully qualified class name, including the
package.

Re: massive memory leak in Flex

[Clint M]

databinding is static at the application level… at least the way you're
doing it via curly braces… and the renderers will leak

try using this in the item renderer instead of text="{data}" and see if
that fixes the problem :

override public function set data(value:Object):void {
  mylabelId.text = data
}

it didn't leak using advanced-telemetry either… it didn't leak with a
custom renderer with curly binding either… probably because spark lists
recycle item renderers by default

Re: Debug Failing on iOS after updating to AIR 20

[Clint M]

Flash Builder will append .debug to your application id to be
com.yourdomain.yourapp.debug

That's usually why I've seen that if everything else looks ok.

Re: HTTPService breakage in Flex SDK 4.15?

[Clint M]

Install an app like charles proxy on a computer and configure the proxy
settings on the mobile device to run through the proxy.
https://www.charlesproxy.com/documentation/faqs/using-charles-from-an-iphone/

Compare the raw http requests from 4.14 and 4.15 then maybe post the
results if you can't figure it out.

Re: iOS This build is invalid

Install the certificate you use to sign the application with into your
keychain and then select it.

Do you see any red text that says it's not signed by a recognized signer or
do you see green text saying the certificate is valid?

Re: Memory leak caused by addChild() ?

[Clint M]

Because this comment/code in NonLeakySubComponent.mxml is false and isn't a
weak ref.

/* This is not a memory leak, because BindingUtils uses weak references */

BindingUtils.bindSetter(dataProviderChanged,this,"dataProvider");

This would work:

BindingUtils.bindSetter(dataProviderChanged,this,"dataProvider", false, true);
//true is useWeakReference

Re: Memory leak caused by addChild() ?

[Clint M]

Well... it's not technically leaking... it just appears like it is because
the timer is firing every 10 ms which doesn't let garbage collection run as
fast as you think it should.

It will eventually run... you just have to wait a really long time. (Most
likely when your physical ram is full.)

In flash player garbage collection is a black box and although there are
some weird hacks you can implement to force it to run it's best just to let
it do it's thing.

Ideally you'd just slow down this timer down to give back a few frames to
let garbage collection run.

Here's an article that gives you an idea of what the player is doing.
http://www.craftymind.com/updated-elastic-racetrack-for-flash-9-and-avm2/

The gist is you need to yield code execution to the next frame. (i.e. wait
for next Event.ENTER_FRAME).

The concept is called green threading.

Try playing with framerate (max 60 because of the refresh rate of your
monitor) and the timer duration to see the garbage collection run more
often.

This is also a lesson in using the "new" keyword.  If you reuse existing
instances instead of making new ones, Flash Player doesn't need the extra
frames to run gc.

Re: Memory leak caused by addChild() ?

[Clint M]

I was able to reproduce the behavior while using the references array and
uncommenting the line:

references.splice( references.indexOf(lastInstance),1);

It might be that Player holds a reference to the object spliced out because
it does return it.

In any case... I'd like to reiterate that it doesn't leak.

It's just doing what Alex describes as out-run the GC because it's calling
initialize on the sub component.

Here's a screen shot from my system when I set the frame rate to 60 and the
timer to 50ms.

Re: Developing Flex SDK with Flex Builder

[Clint M]

Well technically if you're just developing a patch a better would be to
monkey patch the Flex SDK.

Just create a folder structure under your source dir that matches the files
you want to patch.

For example:

MyProject
src
spark
components
TextInput.as

The compiler will pick up and use your TextInput.as because it's a file
with a newer timestamp than the one in the SDK.

Hmmm... if it just crashes you might be hitting the max bitmap data size of
the operating system that the app is running on.

"Starting with AIR 3 and Flash player 11, the size limits for a BitmapData
object have been removed. The maximum size of a bitmap is now dependent on
the operating system."

Re: Flash Builder borked

[Clint M]

Does a clean build fix it?
Does deleting the codemodel folder fix it?
Mine is at /Users/clint/Documents/Adobe Flash Builder
4.7/.metadata/.plugins/com.adobe.flexide.codemodel.bridge
Does a new workspace fix it? Sometimes eclipse workspaces become corrupt.

RE: instability
what is your Xmx set at in:
/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/Adobe Flash Builder
4.7.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7.ini

I run java 1.7 and FB 4.7 and it seems to work mostly ok for me.
Also… if you get an eclipse error for any reason (not a compile error)
reboot Flash Builder. Don't try to continue.

Apache Flex Docs/Examples on StackOverflow

[Clint M]

Noticed this today: http://stackoverflow.com/tour/documentation

If we get 2 more people to sign up we can start documenting apache flex
with examples on StackOverflow.
http://stackoverflow.com/documentation/flex/commit

Re: Apache Flex Docs/Examples on StackOverflow

[Clint M]

Thanks to the 2 people that signed up now we can add examples on SO.
http://stackoverflow.com/documentation/flex

@Christofer I don't think it's meant to be a place to hold "All the flex
documentation".

StackOverflow documentation is designed to fill a gap in it's model.
It was difficult to publish examples before in a stack overflow answer.
The typical solution was to create an example... upload it somewhere and
link to it.
Over time these links may die. (e.g. Blog post where the domain name
expires.)
Now you can publish examples to StackOverflow and link to those examples
from answers.
Here's an example page for the tag actionscript-3
http://stackoverflow.com/documentation/actionscript-3

Apache Flex SDK Installer Broken

[Clint M]

Getting this error:

Installer version 3.2.0 (mac)
Using Locale: en_US
Fetched the SDK download mirror URL from the CGI.
Error #2031
Installation aborted

Here's the raw request/response in Charles:

Request:
-

GET /single-mirror-url--xml.cgi HTTP/1.1
Host: flex.apache.org
Cookie:
x-flash-version: 22,0,0,175

AppleWebKit/533.19.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) AdobeAIR/22.0
Accept-Language: en-us
Referer: app:/InstallApacheFlex.swf
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

Response:
-

It seems like the content type is set to text/xml but it's sending the url
as plain text?

Re: Apache Flex SDK Installer Broken

[Clint M]

Not seeing any redirects in Charles.

It manifests after you click the next button on the initial screen in the
installer.

I think I found the request in the sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml request.
http://flex.apache.org/installer/sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml

Re: Apache Flex SDK Installer Broken

[Clint M]

I was able to work around it by using Charles to map the cgi request to a
local file with just the mirror url in it.

Re: Apache Flex SDK Installer Broken

[Clint M]

Because my workaround worked… I'm guessing the config file (
http://flex.apache.org/installer/sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml) should be
updated from:
https://flex.apache.org/single-mirror-url--xml.cgi
to:
https://flex.apache.org/single-mirror-url.cgi

It seems like the installer isn't actually expecting an xml response and
plain text just works.

I think most browsers and AIR for the flex sdk installer are respecting the
content type that's set to xml but the actual response is just plain text
with no xml content.

Re: Flex SDK Installer in macOS Sierra

[Clint M]

There is an option to install from "Mac App Store and identified
developers".

Does that work?

I'm think the installer is code signed so it should.

Unable to download 4.14.1 SDK using the Apache Flex SDK Installer

[Clint M]

Bit of a strange one... I just tried to download 4.14.1 and AIR 17 and the
agreements screen comes up blank. When I click continue the install fails.

I was able to download 4.15 and AIR 20 without any problems.

The install log has this in it:

Installer version 3.2.0 (mac)
Using Locale: en_US
Fetched the SDK download mirror URL from the CGI.
SDK version Apache Flex SDK 4.14.1
AIR version 17.0
Flash Player version 17.0
Creating Apache Flex home
Creating temporary directory
Downloading Apache Flex SDK from:
http://mirror.olnevhost.net/pub/apache/flex/4.14.1/binaries/apache-flex-sdk-4.14.1-bin.tar.gz
Unable to download Apache Flex SDK
Installation aborted

Getting a 404 when browsing to
http://mirror.olnevhost.net/pub/apache/flex/4.14.1/binaries/apache-flex-sdk-4.14.1-bin.tar.gz

Incidentally I noticed the installer version is 3.2.0 and the sdk config
that it's requesting is from
http://flex.apache.org/installer/sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml. Not sure if
those versions are supposed to match.

Attaching a screenshot of the blank license agreements screen which seems
weird.
