Motorola Device XOOM Device Driver – Part Two, Windows XP

My flashbuilder 4.6 project was moved to my windows xp machine and I had to reinstall the XOOM device drivers again. This time I ran into more issues but I am going to document what I did, so when I deploy more apps to the device I can follow these directions.

The same site XOOM drivers in my previous post for windows 7, still holds for downloading the drivers. The download file MotoHelper_2.1.40_Driver_5.5.0.exe contains the msi file, Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_5.5.0_32bit.msi, which is used to install the XOOM drivers. This motorola website Installing Motorola Handset USB Drivers also allowed you to download the usb drivers in msi format but I think the previous website was all encompassing.

Use xml file to display info in swf and html

I needed to setup a system where the same data could be viewed/accessed in both a swf file and an HTML file on the web.

I set up the swf file to dynamically load an xml file. The nodes and attributes of the xml would then be parsed and stored in an instance of a class which I named CheatsheetData class(currently known as pocket notes now).

Dynamically Setup Flex Runtime Configuration Services using FlashVars

By using FlashVars and a SiteConfigurationModel class, a Flex application can be setup to dynamically define the server configurations needed to communicate with a php backend at runtime. This allows us to eliminate the need for hardcoding the -services compiler argument value and using a services-config.xml file at compile time.

As a result of being able to read and use server communication based settings at runtime instead of compile time, Flex applications can be easily moved to other websites without the requirement/need of recompilation.

Change Flex Default Grey Background Setting

The Adobe Flex Appllication background color setting defaults to a light grey(#869ca7). I wanted it to be white.

I initially tried to set the background color in the application tag in the mxml file which did not work.

<mx:application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
 xmlns:views="views.*"
 xmlns:components="com.pfp.components.*"
 backgroundGradientColors="[#ffffff,#ffffff]"
 backgroundColor="#ffffff"
 initialize="onInitialize()"
 layout="absolute">

I then looked in the html file which was generated in the bin-debug directory and I found the generated default background color value(#869ca7).
