I'm having an issue where certain controls are flipped, depending on the machine that I'm building my project on. On my development machine, when I build it, everything is okay. However, when I build it on our build server, some things are flipped. It seems to be things that are on a higher layer - for instance, options in the select control (see first image below), alerts/overlays (see second image below), etc. It's not just the text, either - the entire content is flipped, images and all.
I have verified that the code is exactly the same in both instances, so it must have something to do with settings or the flex SDK version. On my development machine, the Flex SDK version is 4.0.0.14159, and on the build server, the Flex SDK version is 4.1.0.16076. I can downgrade the SDK on the build server if needed - but could it really be an issue with the SDK? Any ideas?
Thanks!
It looks like this will be fixed in the 4.5 SDK--see SDK-26473 for workarounds.
I was able to fix the mirroring by turning off Flex 3 Compatibility Mode in the Flex compiler settings (if using mxmlc, -compatibility-version=4.0).
Your build machine must be set to a locale which uses right-to-left text, such as Hebrew or Arabic keyboard setting.
Oops - hadn't read all of dpstone's answer before I posted my comment to the question.
The answer to this problem is in the bug he linked to. You need to explicitly set the layout direction. You can do this in one of two ways.
1) in a .css file that you import into your main application file:
global
{
layoutDirection: "ltr";
}
OR
2) you can set it in a <style> tag in your main application file.
<mx:Style>
global
{
layoutDirection: "ltr";
}
</mx:Style>

Using Eclipse 2020-09 (i.e. v. 4.17) IDE for Java (on Linux, openSUSE Tumbleweed), with version 3.0.38 of Mylyn WikiText plugin installed, I had the following difficulty: Although pretty much all editor/ui fonts were fine, the HTML preview of WikiText files (in particular README.md!) displayed in unreadably small fonts (my display has a very small pixel pitch). So I wanted to find a way to set the CSS of such preview pages. The Mylyn WikiText docs (at https://help.eclipse.org/2020-09/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.help.ui%2Fhelp%2FMylyn+WikiText+User+Guide.html, under the heading "Rendering Appearance") says that there should be a Preferences screen General > Editors > Text Editor > WikiText > Appearance that allows one to set this CSS. However, no such screen shows up in my installation.
The only method I was able to find for fixing this was to use an application (such as Engrampa) which is able to edit the contents of .jar files, and in my eclipse installation directory, use it on plugins/org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.ui_3.0.[SPECIFIC_VERSION_HERE].jar to edit the internal component org/eclipse/mylyn/internal/wikitext/ui/viewer/default.css -- I could change any css there, and upon restarting Eclipse, the changes would take effect.
However, clearly any changes I make this way will be blown away upon the next update of Eclipse or of Mylyn Wikitext. Does anyone know of a better way to set the size of the preview text? Was that Appearance pane mentioned in the docs removed? If so, what replaced it? If not, any ideas why I might not be seeing it?
I am trying to chance the icon of the exe file created native bundling of javafx packaging but it still contains the default icon. Please suggest
primaryStage.getIcons().add(FileUtility.loadImage("icon.png"));
did not help, it only changes the title bar and task bar icon.
The ico file still gets generated and icon of the exe files remains the default one
I also tried to assign an icon in the project properties-> Deployment-> icon but did not help
I believe I have encountered the same issue and the solution is described in the following thread.
As a side note - neither specifying your icon in the build.xml file or via the project's options in the deployment section is going to work thus far, but it seems to be fixed in the upcoming release of 7u10.
I added response here How to set custom icon for javafx native package icon on Windows and thinks it is the same issue you started out with. However you seem to have moved on, but others might find it interesting...
I added src/main/deploy/package/windows/myapp.ico there and it finally worked :)
For you:
Create src/main/deploy/package/windows/ folder
Add icon with name ${project.build.finalName}.ico
Run mvn jfx:build-native
I haven't played with it extensively - just got it to work and wanted to share. So if you want to use icon with different name, I don't know how. Not yet at least. The ... section in the config section seems to be for webstart, so I haven't been using it. Hope you get it to work!

I am developing an Adobe Air app. I need to set an icon to the app so it is shown on the task bar. I added the icon tag to the descriptor file but it is not working and I really don't know why, any ideas?
Two things that might be throwing you off:
1) the icons block is commented out by default in the auto-generated descriptor file, and is an easy thing to overlook
2) the icons specified in a descriptor file don't appear in the app unless you build a release build, and install the resulting .air file. A debug build will only show the AIR icon.
At least these are the behaviors I experience in Flash Builder 4.
Adding the icons to your application descriptor should do it.
However, icons come in different sizes.
For example:
<icon>
<image16x16>/icons/app/icon_16.png</image16x16>
<image29x29>/icons/app/icon_29.png</image29x29>
<image32x32>/icons/app/icon_32.png</image32x32>
<image36x36>/icons/app/icon_36.png</image36x36>
<image48x48>/icons/app/icon_48.png</image48x48>
<image57x57>/icons/app/icon_57.png</image57x57>
<image72x72>/icons/app/icon_72.png</image72x72>
<image114x114>/icons/app/icon_114.png</image114x114>
<image128x128>/icons/app/icon_128.png</image128x128>
<image512x512>/icons/app/icon_512.png</image512x512>
</icon>
If I'm not mistaken, the 32x32 icon should be the one that is displayed in the taskbar.
Obviously, make sure that you are referring to the correct path in your descriptor file.
One more thing. I just wasted over an hour on this: For an iOS app, you won't see the icon when you drop the app into iTunes (at least not under Windows), but it will appear on your device!
After completing building a flex project in Flash Builder 4.5, the project was exported using the
File -> Export Flash Builder Project.
After which some of the images stopped working (get the broken image icon). This has left me clueless and even search on the internet did not give me good answers...
I get the same problem time to time. Probably compiler / Flash Builder bug. But to be sure, you might want to check some basic things. First off: check that you have correct image urls. Secondly, ensure you are not using absolute source paths (e.g. C:\workspace\project\src\assets\images\image.png). Instead use relative path (i.e. assets\images\image.png).
If these are correct, check your build directory (default build directory for release builds in FB is bin-release) and see if the images are compiled there correctly. As I said, for some reason my FB does not always compile all the assets correctly, so sometimes I have to move them in manually. That is, you can simply drag and drop them from the source directory to the bin-release directory (although if you are using svn, you should be careful with this as it might copy also the svn metadata).
Other solutions you might want to try:
restart eclipse / FB (maybe it's simply out of memory)
delete the project from your workspace and import it again with no project information
change workspace and import the project there
I finally found the answer... made all the images bindable and just used the class to tag the images.
for example... instead of
if (draggedImage.id == "Chris" )
{
newImage.source = "assets/Chris.png";
}
changed it to
if (draggedImage.id == "Chris" )
{
newImage.source = pic3_icon;
}
A typical CSS property that I use often is overflow-x or overflow-y. Sometimes I use CSS 2.1 or later properties or selectors. These (correctly) raise a validation error:
Validation (CSS 2.0): 'overflow-y' is not a known CSS property name.
For years I ignored this, but it kinda feels wrong. It's possible to switch off warnings in C# and other languages for a particular line, block, file or project. Is something similar possible for CSS (or HTML) errors or warnings? Instead of switching it all off, I prefer a more granular solution.
If you're willing to muck around a bit you can get exactly what you want.
Go to Visual Studio folder \Common7\Packages\1033\schemas\CSS
Copy css21.xml to css21mod.xml
Find the section:
<cssmd:property-def _locID="overflow" ...
After that section, insert:
<cssmd:property-def
_locID="overflow-x" _locAttrData="description,syntax"
type="enum"
description="Visibility of content extending beyond element's dimensions in x"
syntax="One of the overflow values | inherit"
enum="inherit auto hidden scroll visible"/>
<cssmd:property-def
_locID="overflow-y" _locAttrData="description,syntax" type="enum"
description="Visibility of content extending beyond element's dimensions in y"
syntax="One of the overflow values | inherit"
enum="inherit auto hidden scroll visible"/>
Open regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Packages\{A764E895-518D-11d2-9A89-00C04F79EFC3}\Schemas
If on 64-bit, you will have to go to SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft etc
Create a new key called Schema 5, and fill in the "File" and "Friendly Name" string values with css21mod.xml and CSS 2.1 (mod)
Should be all set!
Hi I just discovered this. In Visual Studio 2010 SP1 there is support for HTML5 validation.
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> HTML -> Validation
Now personally because I hate VS telling me I have duplicate ID's(Which is fine for non server controls) I turn off all warnings and set my validation to XHTML5 (Which is an option).
You can however tweak the settings till your hearts content. Sadly this is not project specific and other team members will need to do the same.
How to make Visual Studio stop "compiling" .js and .css files
Similarly as Jeremy Child suggested, but specific for Visual studio 2008 (as specified in the opriginal question):
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> CSS -> CSS Specific : uncheck
"Detect unknown properties"
This removes all CSS validation. This is a good solution if you need the problem to disappear fast (I have no time/bit lazy to manually add each property in an xml file and check the windows registry...) and if you are good in CSS (validation not really needed when you use built-in intellisense or styles that you are sure work -e.g. taken from previous websites you did-).
Get support for CSS 3.0 in order to suppress some of the warnings:
how to make visualstudio 2008 support css v3 & html v5
CSS 3 Intellisense Schema
So this is what happened to me. I had a successfully working project. I made a copy and started working on some label changes. And I started getting
"Validation (CSS 2.0): 'overflow-y' is not a known CSS property name."
The above error kept appearing even after reopening the projects.
So I went back to my original project, opened, started debugging to see if I get that error in that project also. The project successfully. Stopped there. Came to my new error throwing project, and now the error is no longer there.
Something to think about what caused it go away. Something in a memory. May be
