RE: [flexcoders] Flex component that encapsulates DENG?

[Theodore E Patrick]

Steve,   Here are a few additional options for you.   HTMLDraw – Server-side image renderer. It renders HTML on the server and ships an image as a proxy. This is good for static content and web clipping applications. http://www.websupergoo.com/abcdrawhtml-1.htm The guys over at websupergoo are great although this component requires a .NET component   FLOW – A small group of IFBIN developers (including myself) are working on porting Flow to Flex. Flow is an XML renderer that supports rendering graphic, components, and data supporting rich layout. It is 90% compatible with the mx namespace with a few exceptions mostly attributed to runtime rendering. Using XML you can render rich forms on the fly and add lots of content into Flex through existing static or dynamic application servers. Flow will ship with Flash By Example and Flex By Example at http://www.ifbin.com .   Simple Example: http://www.powersdk.com/sample/flow/FlowEdit.swf   More complex examples will be online in the coming weeks.   ExternalInterface - The Iframe solution combined with Flash Player 8’s External Interface is a very good option. EI allows you much more fine grained control over _javascript_ events/methods and provides more seamless integration given the synchronous events and callbacks.   Cheers,   Ted :)             From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Steve Ocean Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2005 11:32 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex component that encapsulates DENG?   Flex needs a way to embed html based content in the app. As far as I know, no solution exists except IFRAMES. After trying everything I could think of for a week, I've come to the conclusion what's needed is a scalable component that uses something like DENG (  http://claus.packts.net/  )  to render HTML as a SWF. To be truly useful, the component would have to be able to render any "foreign" URL on demand, and at least do a decent job with most.   Thoughts anyone?         -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
