I have to ask... I have heard rumors but I don't trust rumors any further than I can throw them... Maybe Alex or someone close to the source can answer this for me. Is Adobe really planning to pull AIR from both iOS and Android? Or are these just inflamatory rumors that I hear. Please tell

I recently oversaw development of a game that heavily used fla->swc->flex. Lots of fancy animations and stuff were done in an FLA, then exported to an SWC with class names etc... and then a Flex4.6 app was wrapped around them providing application logic, and facebook integration. Don't know i

RE: HTTPService woes

2012-04-26 Thread David Coleman
My most curious finding is that at the HTTPDirectChannel level, the URLRequest did not permit compilation of the manageCookies property which ultimately allowed the original headers to pass with no further modifications. Why at this level does the URLRequest not contain compile when accessing

I most certainly will, Justin. This has been a dismaying experience to find that the flagship service class has such a glaring glitch.

No, I'm trying to establish a persistent session login using cookies from an AIR app to a CakePHP backend. The AsyncToken is because I want to be able to create a service stack using an object as a hash map which stores the invocation parameters of the service call in a stack using the tokenID

Hi list, I have a question. Are there great differences between HTTPService for Apache Flex and the code for Adobe SDK 4.6? I've run into a devil of a problem with it. Apparently it simply swallows all headers and does not allow them to be sent to the server. (in the past I've always used

You will have to overcome some technical challenges such as the fact that there are different behaviors in web vs/ tablet vs/ desktop. and of course in android vs. iOS. I recommend using a ClassFactory approach and put things in a core lib and then instantiate the proper class based on the Sys

yes, I myself have done this quite often. for instance you have a bunch of objects and you set the selectedValue field to be "foo.id".. then you would expect (or at least you would desire) that setting the selected value to 123 would search for the item in the dataProvider that has the "id" f

That is exactly my point. We can "fix" a whole slew of big, bad, annoying things. but we will end up creating an SDK version that will totally shatter many existing applications which most likely will have implemented careful workarounds and quirk-specific code for quirks that we will be "res

I agree with this, there are a number of inconsistencies in the handling of indexes throughout the framework. I think that it is a worthwhile effort to address them in this way. As Mike states, the number of side effects could be numerous. But with that being said, I think that changing this
