Re: [Flashcoders] Flash vs. Flex libraries

*goes and tries it*

Well, I'll be...

Jason - just ignore everything I've said. Seems a lot has changed
since I was originally playing with this - and CS4 has features I
hadn't noticed.

Thank you, Eric!

 Taka,
   That's really interesting - excellent to know!

   I _suspect_ (having had previous bad experiences) that doing things
 within the _complete_ Flex framework will be difficult/will cause
 errors. Flex has a lot of managers/singletons which seem to be very
 greedy, and assume a lot i.e. assume some Flex startup code is called
 up front and assume things are initialised in a particular order.
 Definitely worth trying, though!

 Cheers,
  Ian

  Jason,
 
  There is actually a way to use Flex classes in Flash CS3 -- I figured it
 out
  a couple weeks ago when building a jabber client in AS3 using the XIFF
 API
  (I wanted to use Flash, not Flex).
 
  It's quite simple actually... I just put up a blog post about it.

  Hope that helps!!

[Flashcoders] SWX 2.00 Released

2008-12-24 Thread Fabrício Seger Kolling - Dulldusk

A new version of SWX has been released!

SWX is a Flash RPC that assembles the result on SWF format.
The project includes an AS2 and AS3 compiler, developed in pure PHP.
With a very simple usage, the same code works on AS2, AS3 and Flex.

Example:
// On the server we have a class /swx/services/Simple.php with an 
addNumbers method.
// Usage: swx.serviceClass.method(args:Array, [resultHandler:Function], 
[debug:Boolean])


import org.swxformat.*;
var swx:SWX = new SWX();
swx.gateway = http://www.swxformat.org/php/swx.php;;

swx.Simple.addNumbers([1,4], resultHandler);

function resultHandler(e:Object) : void {
   trace(The result is:  + e.result);
}

More Info:

Re: [Flashcoders] Are you waiting ages for your copy of CS4?

2008-12-24 Thread Chris
Thanks for the optimism, Weyert. No, Adobe has twice 'lost' my fax, and my
email of the scanned document required to do a crossgrade (the letter of
software destruction) has been 'in processing' for over three weeks. I had
one Adobe representative lie to me and tell me that the product had been
shipped, just to get me off the phone. Then I found out that he was lying,
and pretty much nothing has happened. I have complained, I have written and
called numerous times, and they won't ship it, nor will they refund our
money.

Very much at a loss as to why this is happening. I thought perhaps if others
have the same problem it could explain this mysterious behavior. Perhaps its
just a personal grudge because I call too much.

 Hi,

 Sorry to be slightly off-topic, but I am forced to extreme measures. I
 have
 been waiting since late October for my copy of CS4 Design Premium to ship.
 We have been told its 'in processing' and all number of things. I've even
 been told its been shipped by one representative, even though that was a
 complete lie.

 I'm pretty sure there is something going on. It shouldn't take two months
 to
 ship out a cd, and they won't refund our money. Does this sound like you?
 Please  email me on or off list...

 Thanks
 Chris Hill

I've had CS4 shipped within the last month without a hitch.

(UK store...)

2008-12-24 Thread Weyert de Boer
Oh yeah, that can be problematic. I  have a US copy of CS4 and tried to 
request a mediakit here in Europe. Impossible because the North American 
version is not supported here... Really nice :/ Adobe US promised to 
send a media kit I haven't received it yet.
