Re: [flexcoders] Flex Training
Why not just google Flex 4 in a Week? It's like free-ninety-nine. I believe that covers a good breathe of the concepts out there.

Re: [flexcoders] Beginner Questions
Most would use ActionScript 3. The Flex Framework add a lot of overhead to a highly animated game. The controls weren't made for that type of genre of application. You could use OS Flex but Flex Builder's built-in's will save you clicks in the long run and you just get things done out faster, which means gratification faster. It all depends on the type of game you are developing whether vector or bitmap. Vectors can give you an advantage in portable file size and smooth scaling. Bitmaps can give you control as a static canvas but you pay the price in large file sizes. Code-wise, your graphics is wrapped by a container, you move the container. Code doesn't really care so much what's in the container. You should also consider the growing libraries out there for actionscript like Papervision 3d and AS3 Data Structures For Game Developers. You could also recycle your C/C++ expertise via Alchemy http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/alchemy/ Alchemy In Action - http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/470460 Thx, -mL mugathur wrote: Hello. I am very new to both Flash and Flex. I've been programming video games in C/C++ for a while now and thought I'd try something faster to develop.

Is just using the Flex open source compiler viable or is purchasing the Flex Builder pretty instrumental to effective use of the language? Is there a heavy preference between vector art or bitmap art in flash development? Is the code significantly different between the two?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Need help Combobox label property
You got a questionable data model if the country names are not bundled with the same SOAP msg that has your country codes. 1) Is your Flex binary supposed to have hardcoded all the country names? 2) What happens if you have the server-side return you a country code that the client does not expect? It seems to me that it is half dynamic. Wouldn't your life be easier if the java WS just told you both the combo box label and the underlying country code, instead of just the country code? Anyways, if you can't do anything about it and you have to work with what you got, another approach (in line with Tracy's idea) is to have a Dictionary whose keys are your country code and values are country names. The next fancy step would be the cache the dictionary into a SharedObject so that the next time the user uses the combo box control, previously known country code and country name pairs will be available to the user.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Why upgrade to FB3?

FB3 is a lot smarter about compiling, so building a project after making a change goes a lot faster. Developers were increasingly frustrated and slowed by the long build times of our project with FB2.01. There were also a variety of small bugs in 2.01, such as issues recompiling styles, embedded assets, or external xml data. Occasionally it would cause FB2 to crash, but usually it would just require full cleans. These minor frustrations really built up and could waste a lot of time and productivity (as well as lower morale and excitement about the technology). There's no reason to put developers through using older, buggier tools when better options are available. Also, FB3 is based on a newer version of Eclipse.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex to Flash developers
Programming ActionScript 3.0 which is a part of the docs that come with Flex was something I found very helpful.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex app on PDA - MS Pocket PC / Windows Mobile
Applications built with Flex Builder (or anything using AS3 for that matter) are targeted for Flash Player 9. The last release of a Flash Player that I know of for the PDA is Flash Player 7 that features AS2.0 support. If your application is strongly object-oriented, down porting it to AS2.0 would make it possible. If your application makes a lot of use of Flex components, I wouldn't port. Keep in mind, the desktop experience doesn't necessarily translate into the PDA experience. Your UI would have to go under a number of changes to fit the constraints of the viewable area, how a user would be able to input information, and how to navigate through the aspects of your applications. Good luck, -mL http://knowledge.lapasa.net amri_ls wrote: Hi!

[flexcoders] Flex Data Services on Amazon EC2
For those familiar with Amazon's Web Services (the side of the company that doesn't sell books), do you know if it is possible to have Flex Data Services Express Edition running under an instance of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)? The idea of having the server-side operations handled for $0.10/hr, turn it on and off at will, and be able to make an application public for access is a very attractive idea. Currently, I am not doing anything that would warrant it but I am very curious. This Flex licensing jargon is beyond me.

In fact, because EC2 instances are less power than the fastest machines available, running FDS on EC2 might not be the most economical option from a license cost perspective.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex books
Sometimes the best way to learn is to get thrown into the fire. Have them go to http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/ and run through with Getting Started with Flex 2. Once they get their feet wet with the FlexBuilder IDE, they will know whether MXML/AS3 is for them or not. It also provides an early conditioning to rely on liveDocs. As said before, liveDocs is great. My experience with Flex is that it's aimed at programmers who work with the Flash Player, who want to implement development techniques used by programmers in other languages. If your not much of a programmer to begin with, you will be having a difficult time leveraging the product. -mL Pan Troglodytes wrote: Is there any particular book out yet you would recommend for someone who is not as much of a programmer?

RE: [flexcoders] [F2B2] Newbie question about styling a nested panel
Thx Gordon, From what you've said, I think I will break the nesting relationship and do something along the lines of... mx:Panel id=outer alpha =0.2/ mx:Panel id=inner alpha =1/ - inner will no longer be relative to outer - outer and inner will have to be absolute in coordinates. - inner will overlay on top of outer. -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gordon Smith Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 12:20 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] [F2B2] Newbie question about styling a nested panel If you get back the inner Panel's alpha, it will be 1, it isn't getting overridden. But the alpha of a parent determines a transparency not only for it but for all of its children; this is the Player handles many properties in a hierarchy of DisplayObjects. If you had alpha=0.5 on both, the inner Panel would effectively be at alpha=0.25. The player would first render the graphics of the inner Panel into the outer Panel at half transparency, making the colors look washed out, and then render the combined graphics to the outer Panel's parent, again at half transparency, making the inner Panel look even more washed out. It's similar to how visible works. Suppose the inner Panel had visible=true but the outer panel had visible=false. You wouldn't see either one. And of course, if you specify x=100 on both, the inner Panel is at x = 200 because coordinates are parent-relative.
