Toast

extrao

I'm running into an issue with Toast - if I attempt to show another Toast before the one one screen has disappeared, there's a momentary flash of the toast at the top of the screen before it appears at the bottom. I've tried disposing, adding a delay, attempting to hide before display using an .addedEffect():IEffectContext - but I can't get the toast to not flash at the top of the screen.. Any thoughts?

Have you tried the latest feathersui-starling code from Github? I recall that I made some tweaks to the Toast component after the 4.0 release to fix some layout issues.

Ah, actually no - just 4.0 via the installer.. WiIl do ty!

Building the SDK from source - I'm getting the following during the build:

Do you know what might be preventing me from building?

Rather than trying to install the missing CA, I pulled the Saxon file manually and commented out the get from downloads.xml

Unfortunately, the latest code from feathersui-starling has not been integrated with the Feather SDK yet. So even if you were able to complete a full build of the SDK, you'd still be using 4.0.0.

extrao

Gotcha.. have you planned a date for that yet per chance?

I know you have a lot going on with other versions too! The SDK just rocks - being able to integrate MXML makes layout so much more manageable..

If you don't have a date planned before end of year, is there something you think I can try as a patch to stop the flashing in the meantime?

extrao

Just noticed the fix for the java security issue under troubleshooting - worked like a charm:
https://feathersui.com/learn/as3-starling/sdk/build-binary-distribution/

extrao

I've just noticed that links to the Starling SDK are not active on your site?

joshtynjala

extrao I've just noticed that links to the Starling SDK are not active on your site?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Are some links broken? If you let me know where they are, I can fix it.

extrao are you no longer supporting the SDK?

I've promised to release at least one more update of Feathers for AS3/Starling (including the SDK), which will include the latest bug fixes. I'll probably do that within the next month or two. Right now, I'm focused on getting the first alpha build of the Haxe/OpenFL version finished.

I don't plan to add any new features to the AS3/Starling version of Feathers going forward, but bug fixes are certainly possible. I'd like to ensure that the library continues to work with the latest versions of AIR released by Harman.

I've just released a massive update, all built on the Feathers SDK and AIR 33.. The first visually appealing release - and the first one I can start to promote.. I'm starting to freak out.. are you no longer supporting the SDK?

Yes, at the bottom of the screen: https://feathersui.com/ -- in the footer, the link is inactive to the SDK..

Would you support the SDK if we were able to contribute financially? I'd love to commission more features that the community can use. I'm still pre-funding but confident with our latest release that we're not far off.

I totally understand where your head is, of course on getting an Alpha build out.

It's certainly something I'd consider. We can talk when you have your funding.

The text that says Feathers SDK (Starling) is a section heading and not a link. The Documentation and Github links below the heading appear to work correctly.

I guess that I can make all of the section headings into links that go somewhere appropriate.

Poifect..

That's really encouraging to hear - hope to be in a position to reach out soon.

Btw, I resolved the flashing toast by setting the closeEffect to null before calling toast.close(true)
