I have a very stupid problem. I'm using Flash Builder (Flex) 4.
My application displays a video using VideoDisplay component and some images.
The video filename is always named video.mp4 and the images are inside a folder called "real/".
The video file and the real folder are in the SAME location of the .swf built.
The video source in the code is set like this:
videoDisplay.source = 'video.mp4';
and the images, loaded dynamically, are like:
img.source = 'real/' + imageFilename;
In development, I put this video and real folder inside the Flash Builder folder called bin-debug: I can correctly display the video and see the images.
In the release version, when you export and build the release, I have tried to put this video file and the folder inside the folder bin-release, I open the index.html generated, but nothing, the video and the images are not loaded!
Is there any problem with the sandbox? I don't think so because it is in the same local folder!
Do I have to setup anything in the compiler? Some param?
use URLRequest to load the external files
new URLRequest("c:\folder\video.mp4"));

I move source and header files in include and src dirrectories. Then i define this dirrectories in VPATH and include files without specifying any directory.
After all of this, I want to see files in the File Browser panel as included directly (without any path), but I see relative paths anyway!
Is there some way to disable relative paths in File Browser panel?
P. S. I doesn't like "Simplify Tree" option, coz it place all headers and sources in one folder. This is uncomfortabel.
The screenshots are all taken from "Projects" view, not from file view. The project view is meant to visualize the build system. Your build system has the files stored in a subfolder, so Creator will display that. Since the Projects view is used to add files into the project this is important: Which folder should a new file go into if that folder was not displayed?
It does not matter how you write the filenames into your .pro-file: Creator will get a list of absolute paths for all your sources -- as long as qmake/make can build your project that is:-)
Alright, I'm really new to flex. I have a data file on my computer that I need my flex mobile app to read from. Is it possible to put this file in a certain location on my computer so that the app will see it when I'm testing(ex-can i put it in a folder that is linked to the applicationstoragedirectory directory)? Thanks
You can just drop it in the source folder, it will automatically be copied into the bin-debug folder (there are a few choice exceptions that you can find in the window->preferences->Flash Builder->File Exclusions) Everything that is copied into the bin-debug would also be packaged into an air or airi file and ultimately deployed next to the bytecode/executable just like it is in the bin-debug in the builder.
You can also make another folder, say "resources" then in the project properties in the flex build path go to source path tab and click add folder button and type "resources". Then it will treat that and the src folder the same.
I have a SWF file which contains of an image (1keyframe) and also, it contains an AS3 file with the following codes:
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
var ur:URLRequest=new URLRequest("1.swf");
loader.load(ur);
addChild(loader);
I am trying to play the swf file (1.swf - an audio) while the image is being displayed. What I want to know is how will I be able to publish this project into an SWF file which can still play as expected even without the raw 1.swf file. I can publish SWF right now but when I delete the 1.swf file, my generated swf can only display the image.
If you are able to host your file 1.swf at an actual URL, you could change your AS3 code to fetch the file, over the network, from that specific URL.
I added an external stylesheet file (css) to my flex project. Is there a possibility that the css is not compiled with the swf? It would be great if I could put the swf on my webspace and afterwards only change a css file to customize my application and fit it to the colors of my homepage.
Thanks in advance

Yes thats exaclty what happens.
Right click the CSS in your flex project and click 'compile to swf' then when you build your app you will see the CSS file as a SWF file in the same folder structure but in the bin-release folder.
So next time you update the CSS, you just upload the updated CSS-SWF file. This is providing that you load in the CSS-SWF file at runtime.
If your app doesn't load the CSS_SWF at runtime it will still contain whatever styles it had when you built the app in the first place.
check out http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/12/12/loading-cascading-style-sheets-on-the-fly-using-the-flex-stylemanager-class/ for more info on runtime loading of CSS.
I have a swf that is run from C:/ in the browser instead of a server (long story) and that swf loads a video that it located at ../../videos/video in relation to that swf.
Problem is, When I run it in Flex, everything is cool. Running locally, it can't find the file (not a security error) and is throwing a connectionError.
Any ideas?
NOTE: This seems to be a Windows specific problem, it's running on my mac with the same security settings just fine.
Flex Builder has a file that it adds all of your bin directories to in order to allow the debug player to get around the local security restrictions.
Here's a blog post on the subject.
Essentially Flexbuilder tells Flash that it should trust the bin folder... if you do a search on your development machine for the file flexbuilder_plugin.cfg, you should find it in a folder called FlashPlayerTrust in roughly the same area you normally find SharedObject files. If you open this file in a text editor, you should see pretty much every path to every bin folder for every flex project you have ever worked on. And suddenly everything gets so much clearer.
You can do as fenomas suggests and add any directory to your trusted list. You can also follow the advice from the above blog post.
So I created a new file and placed it next to this flexbuilder_plugin.cfg file, and called it MyProggy.cfg. Flash is configured to read in all files in this folder and parse all paths out of it, and any applications run from these paths will be considered "localTrusted" and will act as they would when run from Flexbuilder. Inside this text file I put one line: "c:\program files\my proggy" and saved it. I then had to restart Firefox for the change to take effect. I also had added a text label to my application and bound the text property to {Security.sandboxType}.
I would suggest getting HTTPFOX for Firefox which is a sniffer. Then you can see what is failing. In my own search I found that FLV's are always relative to the SWF, even when loaded on the WEB. Every asset that I have loaded is relative to the index.html file except for FLV's which always remain relative to the SWF. Being able to watch the data flowing, or attempting to flow to your site is invaluable.
This also explains why some people have no issue loading thing locally but then run into problems on the web. If their html file that is loading the swf is in a different location than the swf then every asset other than FLV's have a different relative path when viewed online then they do when viewed locally.
