[Flashcoders] Flex List?
I asked the question end of day yesterday about converting javascript (AJAX) to Flex. It dawned on me that I should probably really be asking that question on a Flex Listserve. Is there one? Someone mentioned one the other day, but I can't for the life of me find the message that referenced it. I know that figleaf doesn't have a Flex listserve :-( so what is the best most active Flex list?

[Flashcoders] convert/migrate javascript to Flex
Lets say that you have been developing an AJAX application (using ClearNova's ThinkCap) and you are displeased with the result. What options might one have to convert that AJAX application over to another RIA platform? Is there a way to convert an AJAX application over to Flex? What other RIA platforms could be used that would allow the AJAX work that has been done to not be a total loss? My sense is that conversion to Flex is a long shot, but I thought I would ask anyway.

RE: [Flashcoders] Re: Flex vs. Flash IDE
Ahh ok...well thanks for looking. Do you know of any other place I could go that is a sort of repository for Flex created apps (e-learning and non-e-learning)?

Sorry. Too bad, it was really nicely done. The nice thing is Flex provides you with the really great components and state change capabilities so you can focus on inserting really rich flash .swfs for interaction and presentation, and still do Actionscript. So it really could be applied to a host of web applications and interactive presentations.

If Flash can be used for e-learning (as we do), what would make it so incredible to believe that Flex could also? I find e-learning to be well-suited to forms-style development, particularly if you throw in some script-driven animation. Seems to me Flex is probably better suited to this kind of work than Flash is. Now, I'm not sure I'd want to develop a cartoon in Flex... -- Troy RPSystems, Ltd. http://www.rpsystems.net ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

RE: [Flashcoders] eLearning built in Flex
Well, the show is only 1 hour...and it seems that Abrams has quite a complex story to tell, some of the characters have to be in the background...although I do agree that the reaction of the rest of the people was weak...maybe the extras were having a hard time visualizing whatever the heck that was that happened last night. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Sacks Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 1:14 PM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] eLearning built in Flex The writing on the show (I'm a huge fan and have suspended disbelief for a long time) has become extremely weak over the past few episodes. They force extremely unrealistic reactions from people and have characters completely ignore stuff going on around them. Tell me. If the earth shook, there was a deafening buzz and the sky turned white and violet and eventually it went away, would you say Hm. What was that? Doesn't matter. Better clean up this mess. Give me a freaking break. I guess only the main characters are allowed to be humans with brains and the rest of the people are only animated paintings in the backdrop. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
RE: [Flashcoders] Re: Flex vs. Flash IDE
Jason, that would be great! I would love to see an example of e-learning built in Flex! Bill Lane...you mentioned that you are working on an e-learning app in Flex. Is there anything that you can show us? Perhaps if you don't want to show the whole list you could email me off list? I have long thought that if the purpose of the RIA movement is to create desktop like apps that run in your browser...then the platform used to build those apps would certainly be powerful enough to create e-learning. Bill, what has your experience been with using Flex for building e-learning? Are you far enough along with your project to be able to say if you would take the Flex development route for e-learning again? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Merrill, Jason Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 6:14 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Re: Flex vs. Flash IDE I thought it was posted here once, I had it on my bookmarks at home I think.

I don't know much about traditional Flash development, but my experience with FlexBuilder leads me to believe that it would be difficult to use FlexBuilder to build non-forms-based applications (which is presumably different from using FlexBuilder as a code editor for ActionScript). FWIW, IMO, not just forms, but metrics dashboards, shopping sites, and I even saw a really well done interactive e-learning course done with Flex.
