designDialog() crashes out

brianj774 · Post by **brianj774** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 7:50 am

Hallo...

I'm still experimenting with the product, just working on simple reports, just getting familiar with the product.

If I call

Code: Select all

report.design();

everything works just fine, but if, instead, I call

Code: Select all

report.designDialog();

I get the following call stack

Code: Select all

TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.

Hello,

We made some changes in the code, which may affect on this error. You can find the update in the attached archive.

Thank you.

I swapped out the swc's, build-clean, and tested....same deal.

Hello,

Unfortunately, we could not reproduce this error.
Can you please send us a complete application for Flash Builder? Perhaps the error depends on some application settings, we need to analyze them.

Thank you.

I'll see what I can do, as its located deep in my entire application.

I'll see if I can create a sample project which demonstrates the same behavior.

Post by **Vladimir** » Fri Jan 21, 2011 7:44 am

Hello,

It would be very good. We will wait for your answer.

Thank you.

Ha!

Of course, the simple sample works just fine.

Aside from the complete project, is there anything else we can look at? I imagine that for the most part, I've got pretty standard settings. The only thing that might be somewhat out of the ordinary is that I've got this running inside a module? But, for clarity, the report.showDialog() works just fine, only the designDialog() is broken.

brianj774 · Post by **brianj774** » Fri Jan 21, 2011 8:58 am

Okay, here's an oddity.

I copied

Code: Select all

		StiDesignerFx.initialize();
		var _report: StiReport = new StiReport();
		_report.designDialog();

Into my main app (as opposed to being in a module).

It worked...so, is there something about a module thats causing problems?

brianj774 · Post by **brianj774** » Fri Jan 21, 2011 9:57 am

ok,

So, I pared my module down to a bare minimum, and it continues to work...I'll keep adding stuff back in, until I can report what the problem is.

Code: Select all

brianj774 · Post by **brianj774** » Fri Jan 21, 2011 10:33 am

Oh ho ho!

I found that, when I leave the minimalistic module as is, and then I remove the initializate() code from my main app, THEN I get the problem.

But, for now, if I leave the

Code: Select all

StiDesignerFx.initialize();

in my main app, then remove it from the module, everything seems to work out correctly.

Is that then, what should happen in a modular app? SHould we initialize the Designer and Viewer as part of the main apps init processing?
