Re: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?

<mx:Button /> is an improved version of the button of the same class name in Flash MX 2004 & 8.  Both support the icon property and both support the same 8 skins of up, over, down, and disabled.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Merrill, Jason To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2005 1:26 PM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations? Thanks John –   Yeah, I thought of that, but didn’t know if it was possible to embed a graphic inside a component button in Flex 1.5.  Is it?  Or would I have to custom make the button as a .swf.  I could do that I suppose.   Jason Merrill   |   E-Learning Solutions   |  icfconsulting.com From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of John C.

This would replace "print" with the printer icon so your buttons will read "[icon] summary" and "[icon] article" or maybe nix "article" all together and just have the printer icon. The same goes for the add/remove. Not sure if you were looking for critiques or not. Hope it helps...

I have played with Flexbuilder 2 and the 8.5 player, but not Flex 1.5.    Question 2:  I probably already know the answer, but can you run Flex 1.5 on a server in one place (say here, on the development side), produce the necessary .swfs, and then take the .swfs to another server that does not have the Flex server to deploy the app?  Or are the .swfs strictly built at runtime?  Or are there legal considerations for that?  This isn't a requirement, but it would be nice to only have to buy Flex 1.5 server here, and give our clients the .swfs instead of telling them they need to also buy the Flex server to run this.  I am guessing though, that the Flex server and the Flex app have to be on the same machine. Right?  If so, I guess what are my options for something *kinda* like this – realistically – the Flash IDE or AJAX?    If Flash 8.5 were an option, I would hold out for Flexbuilder 2, but it's not with them since they can only run the Flash 7 player.    Thanks,   Jason Merrill   |   E-Learning Solutions   |  icfconsulting.com     NOTICE: This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged or confidential information.
