UITextField example does not work (1 reply)

martytx — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 08:37:13 -0500

Using Flash Player 10.1.82.76 and Flah Bulder 4.0, the example 3 Text show_hide effect does not work. If I change the UITextField to TextFiled, everything seems to work ok.

Should we be using TextField vs UITextField?

Flex 4 (Flash Builder) incompatibility (1 reply)

heyday — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 03:34:13 -0500

Hi

I set up an AS3 project in Flash Builder 4 (Flex 4) on Windows Vista utilising SDK 4.1.

I write a very simple class to embed a bitmap and display it on the screen.

This works without any issue.

When I add the FlashEff2Flex.swc (for Flex Builder 4) and try to run my project I get an alert box stating that 'Errors exist in required project(s)' and an option to 'Proceed with launch'.

I have tried this also adding the FESWavy.swc and it so doesn't work.

It's disappointing really as I've owned these effects for a few months now and the first time I would like to utilise them in a project, I waste several hours of my time finding out it's possible they are not presently compatible with SDK 4.1.

I also see guidance in the FlashEff2Flex manual that refers you to the Tutorials package for examples using Flex 4. There are no Flex 4 examples in my tutorials package, only some outdated .fxp projects.

I would be grateful if anyone can provide any assistance in getting these effects working in Flash Builder 4 with SDK 4.1.

Many thanks

David

Some Question (3 replies)

user381937 — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 06:07:58 -0500

I have a problem with Flasheff2_Flex,

I assign a effect to a panel with a Grid control on it, and apply the effect with this code:

import FlashEff2Flex;
import com.jumpeye.flashEff2.symbol.alphaBars.FESAlphaBars;
import com.jumpeye.Events.FLASHEFFEvents;

myEffect = new FlashEff2Flex();
showEffect = new FESAlphaBars();
myEffect.showTransition = showEffect;
addChild(myEffect);
myEffect._targetInstanceName = "panelListado";

layout="absolute"
id="panelListado" left="10" right="10" bottom="58" top="102">
dataProvider="{tiposComunicaciones.lastResult.tiposComunicaciones.tipoComunicacion}"
close="muestraTipo(event)" labelField="nombre" width="162"/>
id="dgComunicaciones"
dataProvider="{comunicaciones.lastResult.comunicaciones.comunicacion}"
itemClick="itemClickEvent(event);">

dataProvider="{formatoComunicacion}"
close="cierraCombo(event);" />

The problem is when i use the scrollbar of the grid, if a move the scroll to the botton of the grid, its works perfect, but when i move the scroll again to the top the panel became invisible.

Other question, when i Use Sparkle Effect with that panel:

Code Modified:

import com.jumpeye.flashEff2.symbol.sparkle.FESSparkle;

myEffect = new FlashEff2Flex();
showEffect = new FESSparkle();
myEffect.showTransition = showEffect;
addChild(myEffect);
myEffect._targetInstanceName = "panelListado";

The panel appear with animation but dissapear in a second.

I have the same problem with all effects, there is any solutions ofr that problems.

Sorry for my bad English.

Thnks

Pausing the transition in FlashEff2Flex (2 replies)

user364089 — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:10:50 -0500

Hi,
We need in our application to perform the following actions.
- Stopping the transition completely without any resumes.
- Stopping the transition and in later stages, resuming the transition.

Could you please let me know what are the options for performing the aforementioned task.
Please note that the component might get paused while eff2Flex is performing the transition, we want to have the screen frozen.

Thanks,
-A

Resize browser causes FlashEff2 Flex objects to vanish when loaded into second swf (2 replies)

movalator — Mon, 03 May 2010 09:36:39 -0500

I am using Flex 3.

I have a Flex project that contains an Image which has a FlashEff3 Flex FESBrightSquares effect applied against it and it works fine.

However, when I load that swf into a second Flex project's swf and resize the browser, the image disappears. Looks like it is removing itself on resize. But only happens when one swf is loaded into another.

I tried switching from the Flex version to creating it using the Flash version and had the same problem when loading into a Flex swf.

I need a solution to this asap - any ideas?

SecurityError - crossdomain policy file is not loading (3 replies)

soliton — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 06:43:19 -0500

Hi
I'v bought the flex license two months ago
developed an application and want to deploy it soon
when i test the app locally, all is well, when i run it on the server, i get the error message in the bottom
i am running on one domain trying to load images from another domain and apply the flash effects to them
i've made sure my loadings are fully backed up by crossdomain policy files
and in fact, those do not give me any trouble as long as i'm not applying the image effect to them
the error message clearly suggests it has to do with your components
and as i have no access to the code, i can't modify it to load the policy files
does your API include such a command?
your underlying Loader should contain a LoaderContext which tells it to load the file
plus Security.loadPolicyFile("[www.thesourceDomain.com];);
but i assume you already know that

any suggestions?
this is quite urgent for our team
cheers

error message:
SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: [www.myDomain.com] cannot access [www.anotherDomain.com]. No policy files granted access.

Does FlashEff2 work with htmlText in textField the same way it does with "normal" text ?

Eff2 and Flex documentation (8 replies)

DavidSimmons — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 03:32:40 -0500

I am not having very much luck with the documentation. When you copy the code from the panel it never works. The examples are not very real world. I want to put a lens flare on a mxml label. Seems simple. Any have a working example? I would appreciate it.

Scale effect: appear/disappear image before effect start (1 reply)

knbmedia — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 10:35:42 -0600

Hi,

I use Flex 3 / sdk 3.3

I have a canvas with 2 images (not visible)
When everything is loaded, i launch a first effect on image 1 (FESAlpha, or other, it doesn't matter)
When transition_end is dispatched, i launch a FESScale effect on image 2
Before this effect goes on, the image appear and disappear (not in it's x/y coordinate, I suppose the image is moved in the FlashEffect clip).

This strange behavior is not every time but very very often.
If I launched directly the second effect, it seems to work well

see example (try more than one time if it seem's ok !)
see source (test5.mxml) (be carreful : test5.mxml, not the one by default)

Effect on an image in a canvas: bug (2 replies)

knbmedia — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 02:35:38 -0600

Hi,

I use Flex 3 (sdk 3.3 or 3.4)

I have a problem when using some preset on a pattern like FESAlpha on an image in a canvas

In order to show the "bug", i create a minimum mxml application (see sources) like this:

I have a canvas ( w/h:600/400 x/y:100/100)
In this canvas, i have an image.
When loadComplete is dispatched, I use FESAlpha to show the image using canvas.addChild(myEffect).

test1.mxml:
With preset 13 (default), it works fine

test2.mxml :
with another preset (ex: 1, left to right), it doesn't (nothing appears and TRANSITION_END is not dispatched)

test2_workaround.mxml
If my canvas width is set to 908 (or higher), it works ! (with value near 908, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work)

test3.mxml:
Same as test1, but with preset=5 (B+L2T+R): it doesn't work

test3_workaround.mxml
If my canvas size is set to w=1006 and y=952, it works !

So it seems that depending on the parent canvas with and height and the image x/y and the effect gradientWidth, the effect is bugging...

I have just opened a new Ticket for this issue
