[Flashcoders] Serial Port Communication
Hello all, I need to create a standalone exe and send commands to an external device through a serial port. This is readily done w/MM Director and the SerialXtra, but is this doable w/Flash?

Re: [Bulk] RE: [Flashcoders] Serial Port Communication
Thank Steven, Good idea. I'm currently using Northcode to wrap my Flash.exe. I could launch the Director.exe from Northcode and communicate via local connection that way.

Re: [Bulk] [Flashcoders] Extending a singleton
Hey, It's not considered good practice to use singetons. For reasons why, here's a good article: http://blogs.msdn.com/scottdensmore/archive/2004/05/25/140827.aspx I don't think the protected keyword exists in AS2, but if you have AS3, I'd trying using the protected keyword for the singleton's superclass constructor. I'd recommend trying this as an experiment only. -vf - Original Message - From: Christophe Herreman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 7:38 AM Subject: [Bulk] [Flashcoders] Extending a singleton Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone of you ever had a situation where it would be good to extend a singleton. The first question is: Is it good practice or should it be avoided at all cost? Anyway, I have been trying to extend one, but the problem is that instance variables are not accessible in the class that extends the singleton (and which is also a singleton). So for instance, take a class A that has a properties instance variable that holds key/value pairs. That var is initialized in the constructor. A.getInstance() gives me the single instance. B extends A, and B.getInstance() gives me the single instance of B. But since it extends A, A's constructor is called (although it is private, a camouflaged protected in AS2) and the properties var is instantiated again. Get the picture? B will have a properties instance var but it will not be the same as the one in the singleton of A. Am I overlooking something very obvious here or is this actually hard to accomplish? I changed it from inheritance to using A.getInstance() internally which works; but now I have to add wrapper methods for every method in A/ /I want to make available. thx in advance, Christophe ___ 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: [Bulk] [Flashcoders] Flash and .NET and eclipse
Juan, I would highly recommend using the .NET framework for building applications. You can even download the Express version of .NET 2005 which is free. There's plenty of documentation to get you started. I've used a .NET/Eclipse/CVS combination and it's worked pretty well for me. -vf - Original Message - From: Juan Anzaldo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 1:56 PM Subject: [Bulk] [Flashcoders] Flash and .NET and eclipse Hi all, I need to make some apps in my job, I have to use Microsoft technology, and I normally use ASP3.0 as dynamic language, and directly from flash make the calls as in: http://201.131.19.21/administracion2/bitacora/portalesrevision.html You can click in a portal an then click in ver bitacora button and then display all the information about the users of that portal. (AS, ASP, SQLSERVER) I know I am obsolete and I need to actualize my self but there is no money for courses :(, What I want to do is to use .net technology instead of ASP3.0, but don't want to use the .net framework, because is to heavy for my computer, I would like to continue working with just Dreamweaver (or inclusive notepad) for my .NET classes, is this possible?. I have read some tutorials about web services and the components for web services in flash, actually I get the concept but I don't know how to start, and how to implement from zero(make the .NET class in dw, make the calls from flash, etc.) IT HAS SOMEBODY IDEA OF WHERE I CAN BEGIN? The other subject is, I have read a lot of Eclipse for many places but I am in the same situation i die for use all the stuff of eclipse but i just install and then i dont know the rest Where can I begin to learn? Don't think that I want the easy things, I have already tried, but unfortunately my labor tasks do not allow me long time to play with this fantastic tools.
