Re: [flexcoders] Converting Flash components to use in Flex

[Michael Schmalle]

Hi,Not a chance. The validation algorithm shares similar patterns but, on a whole what you will have to do is 'abstract' what you know about your Flash 8 component and transfer logic into the flex framework.
1. Flash 8 is AS2, there is a huge difference, interfaces, formatting, namespace enforcement.2. None of the methods are the same.3. Flex components blow away flash with new design patterns that need to be tapped into.
If this question is regarding something not connected to the v2 framework, then it's basically like you are just creating a new component.This is coming from a Flash component dev and let me tell you, just sit down, sketch out what you like about your Flash 8 component, what it does, properties, API. Then, learn the Flex 2 API and it's components, REWRITE the component from SCRATCH.
This is truly friendly advice. I wasted weeks trying to transfer things into flex from flash. What you will eventually find is you lock yourself into how something 'should' work(from the Flash component days), then you completely limit yourself in creating the Flex component.
Just analyze, then rewrite it from scratch. Don't go down the road I did and waste precious time. ;-)Peace, MikeOn 9/20/06, brownd_92 <
