heres ones example... dunno if it's changed in OpenLaszlo version 3.2.x and higher. The DataGrid component in Adobe Flex compared to OpenLaszlo.
in OpenLaszlo when you have XML embedded into the lzx file which later gets converted to swf same as mxml to swf you have to pause the init stage of the DataGrid component... and have an event waiting to dispatch when the XML data is ready and then you tell the datagrid to continue it's init stage...
in Adobe Flex ... you have the XML and you have the DataGrid... in the dataProvider you simply just do this dataProvider="{xml_data}" thats it... didn't like the idea to have to wait for OpenLaszlo to say when the XML data is ready..... am sitting there thinking "the core part of OpenLaszlo should know when the data is ready and then send it to anything thats binded to it not sitting here fiddling with events with something so simple like that"
another one is ( forgot whats it's called in Adobe Flex. think it's called Layout Constraints ) I love that... no more of this
<Button x="{parent.width - 10}" y="{parent.height - 10}"/>
in Adobe Flex it's just
<mx:Button right="10" bottom="10" />
the above code simply makes the button stay at the bottom right corner of the screen 10 pixels away from the bottom of the screen and the right side of the parent
heh funny the day I dumped OpenLaszlo was the same day my dads friend came to my place and told me about Adobe Flex..... been using Flex Beta 1 ever since ( March time ) just waiting for Flex Builder Linux version to come.
oh another thing... with OpenLaszlo you have to have the server running when you come to compile your applications... boy did that take up alot of resources... using eclipse ( uses java ) and the server ( uses java ) all on the same computer... that together takes up alot of resources ( AMD 3500+ and 1gb of RAM )... I'm not gonna say anything about the IDE as it was in alpha/beta stage... in Adobe Flex... just a little application that we can talk to by command line
The compiling time was fast but compared to Adobe Flex ..... it was slower..... although in version 3.2.x RC1 or RC2 when I was using version 3.1.x they did mention something about improving the performance on compiling
There are some things in OpenLaszlo that I prefer over Adobe Flex... like how you do a PopUp which I find much better in OpenLaszlo.
not gonna bother about comparing components... you can simply create the component in either... both OpenLaszlo and Adobe Flex pretty much have the same components with slight differences ofcourse like the TitleWindow component in flex you have drag and close the window... but we can't resize with a button on the bottom right corner of the windows like you can in OpenLaszlo but we can create a little component easily to do that in Adobe Flex.
