Adobe Flex Title Window showing mirror image of itself - apache-flex

I have a flex 3 application with 2 titlewindows. When I compile it with the flex 4.1 sdk in flash builder, the titlewindows show up as mirror images of themselves with all text invisible (i.e alpha = 0).
I don't know where to begin looking for a solution. Any ideas are welcome.

I've read about this happening before, sounds like it's a known issue. See the following for more info and a potential workaround: Adobe AIR: Controls flipped (mirrored) in certain build environments

How to resize the designer-space in qt-creator if needed when developing?

As I am putting more widgets on top of more layouts in my application, the space where I design the GUI is getting also bigger for the Qt-creator interface.
I have many buttons and frames which are out of reach. I cannot see them (or click them, of course). I don't know how they look until I run the whole application for debugging.
Is there is a way to zoom out/in the main frame (the whole playground) so that I can see my full GUI design on the UI of Qt IDE?
P.S.: I am working on macBook 13"
Zooming is not possible. You can use Tools -> Form Editor -> Preview.
If the viewport gets too small the QtCreator shows scrollbars which allow to move the part of interest into view.
Note, on some system configurations the scollbars may be very small and hard to handle.
You can use this steps
Tool-->options-> Text editor ->zoom

Create a custom Calender scheduler in Adobe Flex 4.6

I am trying to figure out how to design a calender scheduler in adobe flex.
I have seen the flexlibswc, but it is not structured properly to use.
My idea is to get time in vertical as list and scheduler at right all in one panel.
Can anybody suggest what components I need use to design this custom component.
Please see the protoype screen below
I'll use core graphic components/spark to design this screen. The whole calender background will be a relative layout component like a group/canvas surrounded by the scroller. Each of the slot(blue color) will be extending a spark/uicomponent fills color with Graphics(circle rectangle etc,) so they'll be light weight. I've tried these, they work, but, it is a hectic process to get all things right, it may take 2 months - 3 months to get things done. If you find a open source project try digging the code.

Adobe Air Browser

Im trying to implement a mini browser in adobe air. The browser should work in the same ways as a mobile phone browser, i.e. fit the width of the website to a certain width(specified within the html component) and leave the height to be scrollable.
I have managed to do a mini browser by using the scaleX,scaleY properties of the mx:HTML component however these make the websites look unreadable.
I have also tried setting the css3 zoom property, and that works fine, but it only zooms out certain elements, therefore messing up the site layout.
My question is: Is there a way to make a mini web browser which shows the full content of the website?
Thanks for your help
Air browser cannot be scaled without have an horrible look (no anti-aliasing).
A few years later but here is what I ended up doing:
The requirement was to show the full website that person B was looking at so that person A could guide them through the site. Due to all the limitations of the Adobe AIR Browser we ended up using IECapt (http://iecapt.sourceforge.net/) within an external process to capture the screenshot and send it back to AIR.
This is all well and good, but IECapt is quite out of date as well so recently we have started to look at the using Chromium (http://www.magpcss.net/cef_downloads/) as an ANE within our application and with that we can alter the zoom and dimensions of the page while still being able to keep it up-to-date.

how can i allow user to download an image in flex without making server call

I have a flex application showing a chart. I want to give user the functionality to download this chart as image. How can i do it?
This Adobe Cookbook entry can answer your question. And yes, your project should be targeted Flash Player 10.
I would use the ImageSnapshot class to take a 'pic' of the chart, then save it locally using FileReference.save().

Adobe AIR, Flex 4 - ContextMenu on right click not showing

I'm pretty sure my code is OK as the Context Menu shows nicely when I compile for web, but when I compile for AIR nothing shows up. Any ideas?
I just figured it out. In AIR you have to call ContextMenu.display() explicitly. For example on DataGrid.rightClick. Then use event.stageX and event.stageY to position it.
