It's good to know your stand towards this comment thing going on. I've visited some design sites before that I find have

repetitive comments from visitors, might be one of those you were pertaining to.

good deals--

I tested my work with IE6, but yeah I might have missed this particulare use-case. You can modify the code to send a long string in chunks and then run the js code?

Arg! Came across this same issue this weekend (figured I'd give this a try with my latest project at work). We're currently using IE6 so I'm running across the URL length limitation. I've been trying trim down everything that's unnecessary, but IE6 still keeps catching me with too much junk in the URL. Maybe I'll try some kind of trimming function for my JS. I'm trying to contain the JS within the Flex project, but in IE6, that's been proving difficult.

@syeddiwan: Sorry for late response, I believe, you can capture events (from browser) when it’s going to close and then let flex know about it. Now browser-unload event doesn’t work consistenly in all browsers, in my opinion, hence I would rather rely on different approach.

1) Capture browser’s unload event and do the cleanup (saving data, closing session, etc).
2) Warn user when he tries to close the browser, request him to save, exit or logoff using provided control in user-interface?
3) Maintain a persistent connection using sockets or xmlsocket, now that might be some work and requires server-side infrastructure.

#1 might not work in all browsers and #3 might be little too much for simple things. I see, #2 can be used to and it’s safe and sound.

BTW! What you plan to do? I mean, a lot of people are generally confused with things “sessions” and “flex”.

hi,
so i fixed the problem that said it could not resolve to a component implementation (i think), by using but now it has a problem with “packages cannot be nested” in javascript.as
do you know what i could be doing wrong?
thanks!

hi,
thanks for this code. i’m trying to integrate multiple javascript files into a flex application. i copied the code from your javascript.as file and tried to use the javascript tag in a separate mxml component file but it didn’t work. it says that it could not resolve to a component implementation.
do you know what i could be doing wrong?
hopefully you’re still getting messages about comments from this post!
thanks!

Would this work with the moteDaemon (http://sourceforge.net/projects/motedaemon/)?
I keep getting:
SecurityError: Error #2051: Security sandbox violation:
errors with this example.

Hi,
I noticed this very peculiar behaviour:
try putting this in a javascript function and execute it as you said:
alert (”aaaaaaaabbaaaaasdddddddddddd2aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa1sasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa1″);
I got differing results in different browsers. It basically does not work in IE6. All other javascript functions don’t work also if on the same flex app or html page.
However this works in IE7 and Firefox. It only works in IE6 if the piece of code above is put into a normal html page and not executed through Flex.
wondering what’s going on and if there is a workaround to the limit of characters in a string

This is sweet! Do you know what browsers this works in?

@Aneesh: Put JavaScript.as in com/abdulqabiz/utils folder inside your project. Then you need import it or declare it in xml namespace
If you are using JavaScript in ActionScript, import it:-
import com.abdulqabiz.utils.JavaScript;

Thanks Joan,
I am not very good in RegExp, I have fixed it anyway. I am going to sit down and write down all the use-cases and write proper regexp patterns.
I guess, I would end up writing some kind of laxer/grammar

The last update would make this crash:

Mabybe you could evaluate that the double slash is not between quotes.
