Difference between Flexsprite and Sprite

The Sprite class is a basic display list building block: a display list node that can display graphics and can also contain children.
A Sprite object is similar to a movie clip, but does not have a timeline. Sprite is an appropriate base class for objects that do not require timelines. For example, Sprite would be a logical base class for user interface (UI) components that typically do not use the timeline.

The Sprite class is new in ActionScript 3.0. It provides an alternative to the functionality of the MovieClip class, which retains all the functionality of previous ActionScript releases to provide backward compatibility.

Inheritance: Sprite -> DisplayObjectContainer  ->InteractiveObject->  DisplayObject->  EventDispatcher->  Object
FlexSprite is a subclass of the Player’s Sprite class and the superclass of UIComponent. It overrides the toString() method to return a string indicating the location of the object within the hierarchy of DisplayObjects in the application. This string, such as “MyApp0.HBox5.Button17″, is built by the displayObjectToString() method of the mx.utils.NameUtils class from the name property of the object and its ancestors.

crossdomain.xml

Adobe Flash Player can be used to create applications that load data from public services and APIs. Flash can load data across domains on a permission basis (permission from the server). This is done by the server having a small crossdomain.xml file that specifies whether Flash can connect to services on that server.

How to scale flex application

Flex’s underlying Flash Player has various ScaleModes that dictate how the screen should respond when the Flash ‘window’ is resized. By default, Flex apps use the NO_SCALE, which means that the screen area gets larger or smaller and can clip off the right and bottom of the screen. Flex will put up scrollbars in that case. It is the most common way applications respond to changes in screen size.

Unable to resolve a class for ResourceBundle: strings

I was trying with Photviewer app that i mentioned in below post  app..but i got “Unable to resolve a class for ResourceBundle: strings” error..i solved it

After downloading the PhotoViewer sample application source code (www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/samples/photo_explorer/), you may receive compilation errors such as “Unable to resolve a class for ResourceBundle: strings”.

Reason

Additional compiler arguments are required:—–

In your Flex Builder, go to Project > Properties. Under Flex Compiler
Settings, put this string in Additional Compiler Arguments:

paste the below line
-use-network=false -library-path+=locale/{locale} -source-path+=locale/{locale} -locale=en_US

The sample application will successfully compile after adding the additional compiler arguments.

Photo Viewer application

The Photo Viewer application is a straightforward photo-viewing application. The first screen shows thumbnails of each photo in the gallery. When you click those thumbnails, the selected image shows in the main part of the screen. The next screen is a different list view, which uses a component that simulates a carousel. If you press the Next and Previous buttons, the carousel rotates so that the selected image is centered. The final view is a slide show. The image shows full-screen, but if you hold the mouse over it, control bars appear that show the details. You can also pause the slide show, move to another image, or change back to other views.
