I have a somewhat unstable internet connection. I'd like to have the Flex 3 API on my local system for internet down times, but I cant find where it's available for download, or how to generate it.
Does anyone have a link to a downloadable API spec or have instruction on how to generate it.
Thanks
No need to crawl, just unzip: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/flex3_documentation.zip.
There are download links on this page to various documents: http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/
If you want the Language Reference (and I think that is what you are asking for) which is normally only available as LiveDocs, you'll need to use a website mirroring tool to copy the whole thing to your computer. A tool like HTTrack ( http://www.httrack.com/ ) can help you do that. Just be sure you limit the crawler in HTTrack to only download files with a URL that starts with http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/. Remember that what you will have will be a snapshot of the live docs, so you won't see new comments that get added to it, or revisions made by Adobe unless you download it again later.

Opening recent workspace shows the directories and files that I opened before, then how to get the directory location of them? I tried right click, but I see no information.
I expect something like this from Code Runner.
[I'm a member of the open source Light Table team.]
Light Table doesn't provide that info as you expect.
I agree that that would be a really useful feature, especially when you have multiple directories with the same name in different paths.
Maybe a tooltip when you hover over a directory that shows the full path would be the minimal change that would be helpful.
If you're willing to contribute, or know someone that is, feel free to create new issues in the GitHub repo for each of the Code Runner features you'd like to be implemented. Otherwise, add them to the feature wishlist wiki page.
These features could be implemented as plugins but I think some of them might arguably be fine implemented in the core app code. Pull requests welcome!
I am trying out a mashup of Alfresco and ProcessMaker. I intend to use Alfresco's document management capabilities over ProcessMaker.
Here is the scenario:
A user fills up a form in ProcessMaker and a file is uploaded in Alfresco.
I followed the wiki in this link. The problem is that, my result variable is always false. I also checked my input. I am able to access Alfresco via the address I provided, but it still does not work. I also ensured that the file exists in my directory.
Is there a way I can check (probably from logs or console) the error being returned by Alfresco or ProcessMaker so I can continue?
Alfresco is installed in a Japanese version of Windows 7.
Alfresco version is 4.2.c.
Process Maker version is 2.0.45.
I have no experience with ProcessMaker, but here's a couple of things you can try to investigate your issue:
inspect the network traffic between ProcessMaker and Alfresco (e.g. with Wireshark) to see if there's any hint available in the HTTP responses from Alfresco
enable DEBUG logs on Alfresco side
as far as I can see, ProcessMaker users Alfresco CMIS REST APIs to implement its triggers. Have a look at class.pmAlfrescoFunctions.php in ProcessMaker and try the calls yourself with some REST client (e.g. curl, Chrome REST console, htty)
This should give you an idea of what's going wrong in your case.
UPDATE
After reading that the Japanese language pack changed a folder name from "Sites" to "/サイト", and double checking the Alfresco triggers code, it's indeed the case that localized versions of Alfresco are not supported OOTB by ProcessMaker, which hardcodes "Sites" in its CMIS queries.
While the workaround provided by #nmenego would be enough in most cases, I opened a bug to ProcessMaker to let them know of the limitation.
I discovered that the problem was in the encoding used by my installed Alfresco. Instead of the default folder /Sites, the default directory was /サイト (sites in Japanese). Apparently, upon installation, the names of the default folders are translated to Japanese.
What I did was I added a folder named /Sites, and it all works now.
Of course, the points pointed out by skuro are all valid as well.
We just confirmed that this is a bug in the ProcessMaker connector triggers for Alfresco, thank you for reporting it.
I've just opened ticket 11003 in ProcessMaker's Main Support Portal for the developers to work on fixing it.

I'm making a web app. Part of it includes the automatic generation of word documents (letters). Those documents need to be opened by the end user, then saved back to the server once they've finished editing.
I tried using webdav for this but the only browser I could actually launch word from (using active-x) was IE. I also found a plugin for firefox, but for Chrome I couldn't find a way that worked.
Next I thought about making the clients map a drive to webdav (or similar), then offering up the files as file://... links, but that only works if the webpage is on the local machine.
Before I resort to ditching word (the clients won't like this) and using CKEditor or TinyMCE, is there another way?
In short, I'd like to have links to a document on the page, which when clicked are opened in word, but the file should stay remote - and then when saving, it's the remote file that gets updated.
I've also looked at Zoho but it could be very expensive for this project, plus I don't think it can be white-labelled and also looks a bit old fashioned, UI wise.
Maybe Sharepoint can do what I need? Haven't looked at that much. Also thought of making a client app to run in the system tray and deal with things.
If there was a decent way of editing Word docs from within the browser with something like CKEditor/TinyMCE and once finished, conversion back to Word format actually worked 100%, that would suffice.
I'm open to totally fresh ideas if anyone has any...
Currently Chrome, Firefox and Safari support MS Office plugin. They can open and save documents directly to server. I have tested this with MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2007 just about a month ago.
Ideally, your users would be able to use Word natively. Is there any chance you could create an Office Add-In that hooks into the BeforeDocumentSave event, looks for some indicator that the file is associated with your application, and save the updated file to your server?
Saving to the server via the Word Add-In would probably need to include some unique identifier (in addition to file name), so you could overwrite the previous version server-side. Then, if you were using something like SignalR, you could trigger a refresh on the web page when the file was saved successfully (assuming they were still on that web page) on the server (via FileSystemWatcher).
Had same problem myself.
I solved it by setting up a webdav share on the server with digest authentication (SabreDAV), and tied it into the users table on my app backend.
In relation to the client end, I solved accessing this by creating a small java applet which uses the java Desktop class (getDesktop().open()) to open the file. You will need to make sure the path is handled right for the client machine type (Windows, OS X or Linux)
You will also need to get your end users to permanently mount or map the webdav share locally.
Before I attempt to program the following function myself, I wonder if something already exists.
What I would like to do is click an edit link on my website for a given document, and have that document launch in the native editor on my local machine (via a temporary file mechanism).
When I save the document in the native editor, the document is HTTP PUT back to the website. This can be accomplished by watching the file for writes, or watching the editor process for exit.
This way I can more easily edit documents on the web (instead of going through the download / edit / upload cycle).
My design would work as follows:
Register .webedit files on the local machine.
When a .webedit file is downloaded, launch webedit.exe with the file.
The file contains a URL (http://server/document) which is checked against a security database to ensure we're only opening allowed URLs.
The URL is downloaded to a temporary location.
The temporary file is launched in the native editor.
The file is watched for changes, and uploaded (HTTP PUT) on change detection (or when the editor is closed, if it's not a single-instance multiple-document editor).
Lots of FTP / SCP GUIs have this type of functionality, but I have not been able to find it for the web in general, or a shared library that allows you to plug in to this function.
Has anyone seen a program that does this?
SharePoint works like this.
It's great for managing shared documents in corporate environments.
Users can even checkout/checkin documents & the features are very extensible..you can customize pretty much anything if you know how.
Edit:
Since you're on Linux..i've heard that Alfreco is a great alternative.
I've never used it, but I know a couple organizations using it instead of SharePoint.
It integrates with Microsoft Office as well.
Also, it will definitely be cheaper.
I have a Flex app that does a a fair amount of network traffic, it uses ExternalInterface to make some javascript calls (for SCORM), it loads XML files, images, video, audio and it has a series of modules that it could be loading at some point...
So the problem is - we now have a requirement where the user needs to run this content locally on a machine that is not connected to the internet (which means they can't connect to Adobe's site to change their security settings.) As you can imagine, when the user doubles clicks on the html page to launch this thing, they are greeted with a security warning that the swf is trying to communicate with another domain other than the one it's in. We can't wrap it in an exe or an AIR app so I unless there is some way to tweak some obscure security settings we may be hosed. Any idea's?
What you are trying to do is exactly the problem solved by AIR. You should really give it a try, it's not that hard to pick up. If you really really can't use AIR (you didn't specify why, so I assume it's just because you don't want to have to learn a new system), then modifying the security config file will solve the problem.
Basically what you need to do is create a 'trust' file in the "Global FlashPlayerTrust" directory. This can be done by your installer (which installs all the javascript, SWF, html, etc files onto the local machine). You should create the directory if it does not exist. The directory for each OS is:
Windows - %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerTrust
Mac - /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust
Linux - /etc/adobe/FlashPlayerTrust
Next, you need to create the trust file. You can name it anything, so pick a unique name that would be unlikely to conflict with others. Something like CompanyName.cfg. It's a text file, with one path per line. You can trust either one SWF at a time, or an entire directory. Example:
C:\Program Files\MyCompany\CoolApp
C:\Program Files\MyCompany\OtherApp\Main.swf
To test that it's working, inside your flash movie you can check System.security.sandboxType (ActionScript 1 or 2), or Security.sandboxType (ActionScript 3). It should have the value of "localTrusted"
I hesitate to say "you can't do it", but in my experience, there's no way to do what you're describing. Anyone, if I'm wrong, I'd love to know the trick.
Sorry that I haven't actually tried this to see if it works or not ... but ...
Page 20 (and/or 26) of this document may be of help. The document is referenced here. In a nutshell it describes directories which contain cfg files which in turn contain lists of locations on disk which should be regarded as trusted. An installer for the application would then be responsible for creating appropriate .cfg files in the desired location (global or for the installing user).
The short answer is that if your swf is compiled with use-network to true, it isn't going to work.
Is it possible to compile a version with use-network to false? Or is it running on an Intranet that is closed off from the Internet and still communicating with the LMS?
It is possible. Please chek that the swfs you are calling from the main swf have the "Access local files only" property enabled or not.
Did you try to specify the authorized domain with:
System.security.allowDomain("www.yourdomain.com");
