I know I used several articles to help me figure it out. One of them is no longer available. I think this is a good one: http://bit.ly/4FyegT

I hope you find what you need.

In the modReadyHandler i can see it gets the font (event.currentTarget.factory._info.fonts).

Could you tell me how i can then do a Font.registerFont(font)?

Any help would be appreciated. Also the strange thing, in debug locally it works but when i put the app online it generates an error: Error #2044: IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is unknown type.

Thanx!

// Even though the url is passed in, it’s not going to re-fetch/load the module,
// so there’s no unnecessary performance penalty.
mx.core.Singleton.getInstance(“mx.styles::IStyleManager2″).loadStyleDeclarations2(url, updateStylesImmediately, null, null);

As I note in the comment, I debugged and verified that the module isn’t actually being refetched, since the ModuleManager singleton maintains a map of all requested URLs and their loaded modules.

Just floating this out there in case anyone else is trying to use StyleModuleMarshaller without success.

Don’t you need one (Apache or Tomcat) to load your modules or resource bundles anyway?

// load the swf into a byte array
var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
function(evt:Event):void {
bytes = ByteArray(evt.target.data);
moduleLoader.loadModule(url, bytes);
}
);

// LOAD IT
urlLoader.load(new URLRequest(url));

But this *STILL* doesn’t solve all the issues. The ModuleEvent.READY event does not always fire. It seems like something gets garbage collected, and the event is lost most of the time. If I step debug it into the framework code, I can make it work, but if I run w/o breakpoints the event never fires.

There have been lots of bugs filed against Adobe for this:

http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-14669
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-24343

Those are just two — I think there are others. I’m aghast that this issue still hasn’t been fixed in 4.5 SDK. Here’s the workaround:

Instead of adding an event listener to the ModuleLoader for ModuleEvent.READY, add it to the IModuleInfo object in the ModuleEvent.SETUP…example:

var moduleLoader:ModuleLoader = new ModuleLoader();

// DON’T DO THE FIRST ONE
//moduleLoader.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.READY, onReady);
moduleLoader.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.ERROR, onError);
moduleLoader.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);
moduleLoader.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.SETUP, onSetup);
moduleLoader.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.UNLOAD, onUnload);
moduleLoader.addEventListener(mx.events.FlexEvent.LOADING, onLoading);
moduleLoader.addEventListener(mx.events.FlexEvent.URL_CHANGED, onUrlChanged);

Now, look at the onSetup handler:

private var moduleInfo:IModuleInfo; // save a ref so it won’t get GC’d

private function onSetup(evt:ModuleEvent):void {
LOG.info(“Module was initialized”);
moduleInfo = evt.module;
moduleInfo.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.READY, onReady);
moduleInfo.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.ERROR, onError);
}

Now, ModuleEvent.READY seems to always fire consistently, and then you can add the content as a child to some other container:

private function onReady(evt:ModuleEvent):void {
LOG.info(“Module is ready”);
var info:IModuleInfo = evt.module;
var obj:Object = info.factory.create();
border.addElement(obj as IVisualElement);
}

I hope this helps somebody! I just wasted a lot of hours on it.

FYI: I just posted this question to flexcoders mailing list, but I’m not holding out for a solid answer…

It sux that this hasn’t been fixed. Note that in my case, I’m trying to load a SWF from the local file system into an Air app. Hence: it would seem bizarre if security constraints would be the root cause of the issue here.
