Adobe AIR 4.0 - iPad mini Retina - Error Variable UIComponent is not defined.

[edegaia]

Before anything runs in debug mode on the iPad mini i get this error

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable UIComponent is not defined. at org.robotlegs.base::MediatorBase$cinit() at global$init() at global$init()

Interesting. That would be because of this:

https://github.com/robotlegs/robotlegs-framework/blob/version1/src/org/robotlegs/base/MediatorBase.as#L132

And by the sounds of things the catch is not working properly on that device.

Try overriding the static checkFlex() method in your derived class and make it return false.

Or, you could implement IMediator in your own base class and sub-class from that instead.

I'm sorry i don't comprehend what you just mentioned. I don't even know which Sprite is generating that.

[darscan]

No problem. There aren't any Sprites involved at that point. Those methods are static and run as soon as the MediatorBase class is referenced (and probably before any of your code has even run).

Your app must be making use of mediators if you are seeing this. Which means you must be extending MediatorBase to make your mediators. I'm suggesting that you create your own mediator base class and extend from that instead of the default RL1 MediatorBase.

[edegaia]

but i'using a SWC i cannot modify that... Can you give me an example if it's not that complicated?

Actually my code uses import org.robotlegs.mvcs.StarlingMediator; from the starling-robotkegs-plugin

[darscan]

How many mediators do you have in your app?

[edegaia]

Up to 20 mediators

Create a file called MediatorBaseFixed.as:

package org.robotlegs.base
{
    import org.robotlegs.core.IMediator;

    public class MediatorBaseFixed implements IMediator
    {
        protected var viewComponent:Object;

        public function MediatorBase()
        {
        }

        /**
         * @inheritDoc
         */
        public function preRegister():void
        {
            onRegister();
        }

        /**
         * @inheritDoc
         */
        public function onRegister():void
        {
        }

        /**
         * @inheritDoc
         */
        public function preRemove():void
        {
            onRemove();
        }

        /**
         * @inheritDoc
         */
        public function onRemove():void
        {
        }

        /**
         * @inheritDoc
         */
        public function getViewComponent():Object
        {
            return viewComponent;
        }

        /**
         * @inheritDoc
         */
        public function setViewComponent(viewComponent:Object):void
        {
            this.viewComponent = viewComponent;
        }
    }
}

and put it into a folder like this org/robotlegs/base (or src/org/robotlegs/base depending on your setup).

Now find all your mediators and make them extend MediatorBaseFixed instead of MediatorBase.

P.S. For general Robotlegs support you can ask questions over at: http://knowledge.robotlegs.org

[edegaia]

As I told you I'm not using robotlegs directly but i'm passing by the plugin for Starling.

[edegaia]

Much simpler I got the 1.5.2 source of Robotlegs and commented the function and returned false.

[darscan]

Cool, glad it's working for you. The error itself should not be possible (due to the try-catch block), and looks like a Flash-on-device bug, so this is not something we can fix in the RL source.

[edegaia]

Can't you guys talk from the folks at adobe? This could improve the Flash player on ios and android.

Me i'm nobody but you guys they will listen to you.

thanx for your help
