The Ultimate Fix for Garbled Text When Flash Fetches PHP-Generated XML

I’m never one to back down from wrestling with the most bizarre problems—let’s see who comes out on top. It’s been ages since I hit an obstacle while coding, yet today I ran into a little snag—XML generated by PHP came out as garbled text when fetched with FLASH. After some digging I finally solved it. Recording it here, and also jotting down the general solution. If you also run into XML <-> FLASH garbled text, here’s a quick reference: 1. When you’re certain the XML is absolutely fine:First, FLASH reading XML and getting garbled text involves the static property System.useCodepage. Official description: “A Boolean value that tells Flash Player which code page to use to interpret external text files.” Defaults to false.

AIR apps and the taskbar, system tray, Dock

Reflection: I was too lazy — too lazy to check the official docs for how to minimize to the tray. As it turns out, AIR had this designed in all along. See the official AIR document DEV_GUIDE_FLASH, <Chapter 13: Taskbar icons>. Let me study it now, and put together a Chinese doc along the way to atone. Overview: About taskbar iconsMany operating systems provide a taskbar where applications can display a small icon representing themselves. ADOBE AIR exposes an interface for interacting with an application’s taskbar icon through the NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon property. AIR creates the NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon object automatically. The type of this object is either SystemTrayIcon or DockIcon, depending on the operating system.

Downloading and Installing PV3D Before Use

I got drawn in by PV3D and decided to give it a try from scratch. I’m recording the download and installation process here. A thought: there really isn’t much material on this out there. Install TortoiseSVN: Go to the page http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads Download the appropriate TortoiseSVN and install it (a reboot is required).

After Array.push(Object), only the last item is kept in the array

Yesterday a guy in the group ran into this: After I use Array.push(Object), why does the array end up holding only the contents of the last N item? For example: I want to push 1 Computer News official website—China’s computer enthusiast interactive portal, 2 virtual hosting, enterprise mail, server rental, 3 If you cannot access the website normally, please contact our company. But when I push the third one, the contents in the Array are: 3 If you cannot access the website normally, please contact our company, 3 If you cannot access the website normally, please contact our company, 3 If you cannot access the website normally, please contact our company. Solution: new an Object every time you push.
