Hi,
I’ve imported it in Flash Builder 4.0 (Flex 3.5 – air 2.0.2), and tried to learn about it. But I don’t understand why I can not be able to display none ascii characters in for example TitleControls’s labeles ? It seems display those characters blank.

I am having no luck building this using Flash Builder. I’ve tried using the Flex 3.5 SDK but get an error:

Process terminated unexpectedly.

error while loading initial content

Launch command details: “/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4/sdks/3.5.0/bin/adl” -runtime “/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4/sdks/4.0.0/runtimes/air/mac” /Users/cbol/Projects/EmployeeDirectoryAdobe/EmployeeDirectory/bin-debug/employeedirectory-app.xml /Users/cbol/Projects/EmployeeDirectoryAdobe/EmployeeDirectory/bin-debug

When I use the Flex 4 SDK I get 11 compiler errors showing missing functions / properties. I think this is a fantastic app, and want to use it to better understand design patterns.

I know it’s kida useless now but just in case you comeback to this site… KIT

To reset your DB you can :

1-Delete the DB from your desktop (C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming)
Just delete the directory called “employee directory” when the app look for it, if it aint there, it will recreate a new one with the latest CSV that was zipped. (best way cleanest way to reset your DB)

2- You can also click on “Info” button, then click on the app icon in the info panel. there’s a script there that reinstall the Db.

3- Is to change the update time in your configfile to 1 hour instead of 24… but frankly this 24 hour thing is a pain to work with(is useful when using the app but not for developping)

As anybody figured how to fix the Chinese characters issue with employee directory???

what i gathered so far:

the air DB as no problem displaying Chinese characters(at least, one you change the encoding of the cvs file) you can see your chinese characters being displyed in “lita” but for some reason, when the info is transfered from the DB back to ED…all is lost.

we are using myriad (which doesn;t support chinese characters) but i don;t think that’s the problem, i am vaguely sure that i tested with other font without success.

thanks

What are you trying to do exactly? Did you read through the config file and see if it made any sense? One of the keys to remember is that it only checks for data on a certain interval, which is set to 24 hours. You may want to delete local data, or make the config period really really small.

I’ve changed the employee cvs directory and zipped it but I have no idea where to go from here. Can you sum up in laymen’s terms exactly what steps I’m meant to take? I’m tearing my hair out trying to figure this out >_<

i would to assume that there’s ANISI vs UTF8 issue here but don’t have a clue where i can go to tweak this.

(trying to implement chinese(mandarin) names in the adobe employee directory but i only get ???? instead)

Any Ideas?
