[flexcoders] [FLEX2:B3] I think that a variable of the Function type is passed by value, right?
Hi, all. I'll show you sometest code about the closure. You can see that3 variables that is type of Functionwere assigned with foo() method. Genually, as you know, the primitive types is passed by value that is copied. So I think that this is also. How about you think? private function foo () : Function { var i:int = 0; function rectArea() : int { // function closure defined return ++i; } return rectArea; } private function bar () : void { var increaseCount1:Function = foo(); var increaseCount2:Function = foo(); trace("increaseCount1 : " + increaseCount1() ); trace("increaseCount1 : " + increaseCount1() ); var increaseCount3:Function = foo(); trace("increaseCount2 : " + increaseCount2() ); trace("increaseCount3 : " + increaseCount3() ); trace("increaseCount1 : " + increaseCount1() ); trace("increaseCount1 : " + increaseCount1() ); trace("increaseCount2 : " + increaseCount2() ); trace("increaseCount3 : " + increaseCount3() ); } bar(); // Output increaseCount1 : 1increaseCount1 : 2increaseCount2 : 1increaseCount3 : 1increaseCount1 : 3increaseCount1 : 4increaseCount2 : 2increaseCount3 : 2 -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

[flexcoders] Re: AJAX versus Flex
I don't think its particularly hard to convince internal management to consider Flex as a viable RIA/Enterprise solution. The main problem/resistance we are finding is from our clients/customers opposing I.T architects who either get upset if we suggest Flex as a solution, or say they never heard of Flex and want an Ajax solution instead. I think its partly Flash's animation legacy + ignorance/lack of awareness of Flex and the Flash Platform. So I wonder if maybe the Flash Platform needs a reboot/rebranding e.g. a new runtime without legacy code (but obviously Flash Player 9 will still be around for legacy stuff) and a new name :). I mean Microsoft are essentially doing this through WPF/E. Also I think for the Flash Platform to be a true platform, it really needs a platform XML dialect for UIs - which is what XAML is for WPF and WPF/E. Would be great to able to export content created in Flash Authoring in some form of XML UI dialect and use it in the Flex Framework, Apollo, Flashlite etc. Just my 2c, have really enjoyed learning Flex 2, guys (Java and .NET developers) at work were impressed, but definitely agree that Ajax is getting alot of hype and it seems to be working e.g. our customers are talking about Ajax but not about Flex or Flash. I hope when Flex 2 goes live, there's a big marketing campaign + lots of real world stories of Flex being used in RIAs, Web 2.0 Apps and Internal Enterprise Applications so that our customers can see its a viable option. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, jwc_wensan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: To all: Got this email today, http://ajax.sys-con.com/ and it got me to thinking. I may get blasted for this, but here goes . . . just my .0199 cents. Let me first say I believe 100% that the Flex platform is a better mousetrap. I am currently developing applications with Flex. I prefer Flex. However, you can not open a software magazine, newsletter, journal, article, etc. that doesn't reference something about AJAX. It's everywhere. Adobe's Flex gets an honorable mention. I have been in the software business for over 27 years. I have seen many companies come and go that had a better mousetrap. I also realize that most end users do not care if a desktop app is developed with Visual C++ or Visual Basic. So why would they care what a RIA app is developed with. Probably not. In the end it is the application not the engine. There seems to be a parallel between PCs with Windows and Apple/Macs. Many believe that the Mac is better, but Apple/Mac has less the 5% of the market. Can Adobe accept 5% market share? You also can not under estimate the impact when Microsoft releases Atlas. And no Robert I don't want to hear about how you hate MS or the evil empire. Fact is, tens of thousands of developers will and I say will use their product. What this also does is make it more difficult for developers to convince management that the Flex product is better. Especially when all they hear is AJAX this and AJAX that. AJAX is getting all the hype. Right or wrong these are the facts. They have essentially taken over the RIA landscape and claimed it as their own. My point . . . . Adobe you need to step up to the plate. If you think you can wait, then by the time you start you will be too far behind. You will be left behind always playing catch-up. If you want to reach that 1 million developer goal, it needs to start now. To be better and say you are better is not enough. If the industry has already declared AJAX as the RIA industry leader then it becomes too late. From a market perception, look how AJAX has evolved in the last year. Compare that to Adobe Flex. Adobe you are asking developers to make a commitment to you, well I think you need to increase your commitment to us. Now is the time to promote to the industry and the general public as a whole about the value of Flex. Again, just my opinion.

Re: [flexcoders] [FLEX2:B3] I think that a variable of the Function type is passed by value, right?
Not exactly. What's happening here is that each time foo is called, a new activation object, containing the local variables i and rectArea, is created and returned. Since these activation objects are completely independent of each other, they seem to exhibit some of the behaviour of types that are passed by value. But try this ( in the context of your sample code, of course ;) ) : var increaseCount4:Function = increaseCount3; increaseCount3(); //output 1 increaseCount4(); //output 2 cheers, till Bryan Choi wrote: Hi, all.

[flexcoders] flex2 Beta3 - slow to non existent document delivery
I'm trying to get up to speed and participate in the Flex2 Beta3 programme, but 'm having a difficult time doing so. Please forgive me if I'm bothering the group, but this is incredibly frustrating.

When the document finally doescome back I get a few pages, that's it. When I try to scroll to a new page it takes literally 3 minutes to perform a page down if it occurs at all. Often the document just hangs. If I try to print the document, the process also hangs, w/o fail. I've tried printing perhaps 10 times over the last week at various times to no avail. The LiveDocs are no better. Thus the whole learning exercise becomes moot.While I have a 3mb broadband connection, I'm in the East near Toronto, and I fear, I'm doomed since I'm not at all proximal to "your" pops on the West coast. Im about ready to bail on the beta, its just too time consuming to tough it out.Any insight would be appreciated.

[flexcoders] TreeItemRenderer question
Hi all, I need a tree renderer that creates a checkbox at certain nodes in my tree. I found a sample online that helped a lot, but not 100%. Currently I have it working with a checkbox at every node, but I get some crazy behavior. When the tree is rendered the checkboxes are all selected which is good, but when I uncheck one and scroll down other checkboxes are being unchecked randomly as well. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue? Here is my itemRenderer. myTreeItemRenderer.as package components { import mx.core.Container; import mx.core.IDataRenderer; import mx.controls.CheckBox; import mx.controls.treeClasses.*; import mx.collections.*; import flash.xml.*; import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import mx.controls.Alert; import mx.controls.listClasses.*; public class myTreeItemRenderer extends TreeItemRenderer { private var i:uint=0; // myCheckBox: holds the CheckBox we are adding to the tree nodes protected var myCheckBox:CheckBox; // set the margin between the image we are adding, and the label private var cbToLabelMargin:Number = 2; // show default branch icon? private var showDefaultBranchIcon:Boolean = false; // show default leaf icon? private var showDefaultLeafIcon:Boolean = false; public function myTreeItemRenderer() { super(); // InteractiveObject variables. mouseEnabled = false; } public function openBranch(evt:Event):void { // get the TreeListData var myListData:TreeListData = TreeListData(this.listData); // get the selected node //var selectedNode:Object = myListData.node; var selectedNode:Object = myListData.item; var selectedNodeXML:XMLList = new XMLList(selectedNode); // get the tree that owns us var theTree:Tree = Tree(myListData.owner); // find out if the selected branch is already open //var isBranchOpen:Boolean = theTree.getIsOpen( selectedNode ); //mx.controls.Alert.show(selectedNode.toString()); // if the selected branch is open, let's close it // and if it's closed, let's open it //var isBranchOpen:Boolean = isBranchOpen ? false : true; //theTree.setIsOpen( selectedNode, isBranchOpen, true, false ); if(theTree.id==soTree) { this.parentApplication.soCheckBoxChanged(evt,selectedNodeXML); //mx.controls.Alert.show(selectedNodeXML.attribute('id')+ +selectedNodeXML.attribute('type')+ False); } else if(theTree.id==ntaTree) { } } override protected function createChildren():void { // create a new CheckBox() to hold the CheckBox we'll add to the tree item myCheckBox = new CheckBox(); myCheckBox.setStyle( verticalAlign, middle ); myCheckBox.selected=true // and apply it to the tree item addChild(myCheckBox); // add the event listener to the whole tree item // this will let us click anywhere on the branch item to expose the children of this branch myCheckBox.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, openBranch ); super.createChildren(); } override public function set data(value:Object):void { if(value==null) { return; } else { super.data = ""> var currentNodeXMLList:XMLList = new XMLList(TreeListData(super.listData).item); //var nodeType:String = currentNodeXMLList.attribute('type'); // get the tree that owns us var _tree:Tree = Tree(this.parent.parent); // if the current node is a branch node if(TreeListData(super.listData).hasChildren) { // set styles... setStyle(color, 0x00); setStyle(fontWeight, 'bold'); // if we don't want to show the default branch icons, let's empty them if( !showDefaultBranchIcon ) { _tree.setStyle(folderClosedIcon, null); _tree.setStyle(folderOpenIcon, null); } } else { // if we are in here, then the current node is a leaf node // set styles... setStyle(color, 0x00); setStyle(fontWeight, 'normal'); // if we don't want to show the default leaf icons, let's empty them if( !showDefaultLeafIcon ) { _tree.setStyle(defaultLeafIcon, null); } } } } override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,unscaledHeight:Number):void { super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight); if(super.data) { // if the current node is a branch graphics.clear(); if(TreeListData(super.listData).hasChildren) { // get the current node and it's children as XMLList var currentNodeXMLList:XMLList = new XMLList(TreeListData(super.listData).item); // get the number of children under the current node var numOfImmediateChildren:int = currentNodeXMLList[0].children().length(); // set the image to be displayed in the branches //myImage.source = branchImage; // set the label text super.label.text = TreeListData(super.listData).text + ( + numOfImmediateChildren + ); } else { // if we are in here, then the current node is a leaf node

[flexcoders] Recommended technologies/frameworks for powering Flex 2.0 RIAs?
Just wondering what everybody out there is using for production/development with their Flex 2.0 RIAs? For an upcoming project, my team has decided to go the J2EE route, but we are unsure about which technologies and frameworks to make use of. We've come up with some basic decisions: - Our presentation layer will be 100% Flex 2.0 - We want to adopt an MVC model for the presentation layer, will likely use Cairngorm - Tomcat for our Java application server - Hibernate for our persistance framework - MySQL for our RDMS - Web Services will provide all data to the presentation layer Some questions we have: - Ant or Maven? I've heard Maven is starting to become more adopted and capable than Ant... thoughts? - What Web Services platform would work best with our configuration? - Should localization be done using the ResourceBundle functionality in Flex 2.0? If so, should Ant/Maven be used to automate the creation of localized versions of the RIA? Open ended questions, obviously there is no best solution for every project. Still, we would like to hear some general opinions on technologies/frameworks for Flex 2.0 based RIAs. Thanks for any input you can provide, Brian -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

If so, should Ant/Maven be used to automate the creation of localized versions of the RIA? Possibly.

When a set of column series is clustered, the chart (or columnSet) is setting the columnWidthRatio and offset properties to do it. So if you wanted to cluster differently, you could put the columnSeries inside a CartesianChart and set those properties yourself. To figure out how wide each column should be, you first need to decide how wide you want the total cluster to be, and how much each column should overlap. Then your formula would be: columnWidth = clusterWidth / (overlap + (series count)*(1-overlap)); the offset is the offset of the middle of the column from the middle of the category. given the clusterWidth and columnWidthRatio, the offset for each series is: seriesOffset(N)= -clusterWidth/2 + (1-overlap)*columnWidthRatio*(N) + columnWidthRatio/2; So if you have three series, and your total width is 75%, and the overlap should be 50%, then columnWdithRatio = .75 /(.5 + 3*(1-.5)) columnWdithRatio = .75 / 2; columnWdithRatio = .375 given that, seriesOffset(0) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*0 + .375/2; seriesOffset(0) = -.1875; seriesOffset(1) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*1 + .375/2; seriesOffset(1) = 0; seriesOffset(2) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*2 + .375/2; seriesOffset(2) = -.75/2 + .375 + .375/2;; seriesOffset(2) = .1875; Putting that into practice, the markup would be CartesianChart series ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=".375" offset="-.1875" / ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=".375" offset="0" / ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=".375" offset=".1875" / /CartesianChart (You may need to reverse the order of those, I don't remember) Ely.

RE: [flexcoders] F2B3 - Looking for Column Chart styles example similar to old Brocade sample app.
In Beta 3, the drop shadow in the columns has been optimized by attaching it to the ColumnChart directly. To get it back, you've got two options: 1) set the seriesFilters property of the CartesianChart to a drop shadow. This will give you a single drop shadow for the entire set of columns (i.e., the front most column won't create a drop shadow on the columns behind it, giving the appearance that all the columns are flattened into one layer).

When a set of column series is clustered, the chart (or columnSet) is setting the columnWidthRatio and offset properties to do it. So if you wanted to cluster differently, you could put the columnSeries inside a CartesianChart and set those properties yourself. To figure out how wide each column should be, you first need to decide how wide you want the total cluster to be, and how much each column should overlap. Then your formula would be: columnWidth = clusterWidth / (overlap + (series count)*(1-overlap)); the offset is the offset of the middle of the column from the middle of the category. given the clusterWidth and columnWidthRatio, the offset for each series is: seriesOffset(N)= -clusterWidth/2 + (1-overlap)*columnWidthRatio*(N) + columnWidthRatio/2; So if you have three series, and your total width is 75%, and the overlap should be 50%, then columnWdithRatio = .75 /(.5 + 3*(1-.5)) columnWdithRatio = .75 / 2; columnWdithRatio = .375 given that, seriesOffset(0) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*0 + .375/2; seriesOffset(0) = -.1875; seriesOffset(1) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*1 + .375/2; seriesOffset(1) = 0; seriesOffset(2) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*2 + .375/2; seriesOffset(2) = -.75/2 + .375 + .375/2;; seriesOffset(2) = .1875; Putting that into practice, the markup would be CartesianChart series ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=".375" offset="-.1875" / ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=".375" offset="0" / ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=".375" offset=".1875" / /CartesianChart (You may need to reverse the order of those, I don't remember) Ely.

Re: [flexcoders] maps for flex
Hi Nitin,I have not created any map application with Flex. So, I am trying to respond to your issue rather a little blindly. I'm still unclear with what you meant by "distorted." If I interpret correctly you are saying that if you zoom in, then the image becomes pixelated/rougher; is that correct? If you are not bound to using your own map, I encourage you to check out Yahoo! Maps API, as it is easy to use and is well-documented. http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/flash/flexGettingStarted.htmlAerial view usually refers to the view taken by satellite. In the latest maps that Yahoo! and Google have made, there are 3 views: Map, Hybrid, and Satellite. Map view displays map in outline form, without the detail of the real landscape (different shades of vegetation and bodies of water, real estate, etc.) Hybrid view combines the 2 other views, "Map" and "Satellite." So, you will see a Satellite view, with an overlay of streets map on top.I hope that answers your question.- ptrisnadi- Original Message From: nitin mehta [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 10:17:01 PMSubject: Re: [flexcoders] maps for flex Hi ptrisnadi , Thanks a lot for replying my mail. . .

Trees and other list controls re-use controls when new lines are scrolled into view. I didnt see where you are setting the selected state of the checkbox in the renderer.

When a set of column series is clustered, the chart (or columnSet) is setting the columnWidthRatio and offset properties to do it. So if you wanted to cluster differently, you could put the columnSeries inside a CartesianChart and set those properties yourself. To figure out how wide each column should be, you first need to decide how wide you want the total cluster to be, and how much each column should overlap. Then your formula would be: columnWidth = clusterWidth / (overlap + (series count)*(1-overlap)); the offset is the offset of the middle of the column from the middle of the category. given the clusterWidth and columnWidthRatio, the offset for each series is: seriesOffset(N)= -clusterWidth/2 + (1-overlap)*columnWidthRatio*(N) + columnWidthRatio/2; So if you have three series, and your total width is 75%, and the overlap should be 50%, then columnWdithRatio = .75 /(.5 + 3*(1-.5)) columnWdithRatio = .75 / 2; columnWdithRatio = .375 given that, seriesOffset(0) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*0 + .375/2; seriesOffset(0) = -.1875; seriesOffset(1) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*1 + .375/2; seriesOffset(1) = 0; seriesOffset(2) = -.75/2 + (.5)*.375*2 + .375/2; seriesOffset(2) = -.75/2 + .375 + .375/2;; seriesOffset(2) = .1875; Putting that into practice, the markup would be CartesianChart series ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=.375 offset=-.1875 / ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=.375 offset=0 / ColumnSeries columnWidthRatio=.375 offset=.1875 / /CartesianChart (You may need to reverse the order of those, I don't remember) Ely.

[flexcoders] F2B3 - Change in parsing of WebService results?
Hello, I am having some strange issues moving from B2 to B3 that I can't seem to find dosumented anywhere. It seems that the objects created from my WS results are being parsed differently. For instance, here is some return xml. Client EnterpriseId9/EnterpriseId ClientNameFilm Ltd./ClientName Plans Plan PlanNumber5/PlanNumber PlanNameRETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN/PlanName /Plan /Plans /Client Depending on the data, there can sometimes be multiple Plan nodes. My code in B2 to check and deal with this was: if(obj_data.Plans.Plan.PlanNumber != null) { str = obj_data.Plans.Plan.PlanNumber; } else { var i:Number = 0; while(obj_data.Plans.Plan[i] != null) { str += (str.length 0) ? \n : ; str += obj_data.Plans.Plan[i].PlanNumber; i++; } } but in B3 that throws an error. Something about obj_data.Plans.Plan being undefined. In B3 I have to change the code to: if(obj_data.Plans.length == 1) { str = obj_data.Plans[0].PlanNumber; } else { var i:Number = 0; while(obj_data.Plans[i] != null) { str += (str.length 0) ? \n : ; str += obj_data.Plans[i].PlanNumber; i++; } } I am also having problems displaying WS results in other places in my app. Did something change in B3 concerning how XML and/or WS responses are parsed into objects?

That's right. A statement like xml_result.ignoreWhite = true; that isn't inside a method is actually executed at class initialization time, not instance initialization time.

[flexcoders] Loggin API and MiniDebugTarget [F2B3]
Hi everyone, maybe someone has experience with mx.logging.* usage in F2, I was trying to implement mx.logging with custom debug application that uses LocalConnection. I tried to use MiniDebugTarget which uses LocalConnection as medium, Maybe I don't understand logging correctly but I though that MiniDebugTarget should simply logs data into listening connection (so my custom debug target can trace incoming logs), But what is not quite clear for me is: - my custom Log application (standalone) need to be connected to local connection change with well known name (say _mdbtrace) - I thought that MiniDebugTarget simply sends data to _mdbtrace specified in constructor but in constructor it actually tries to connect to local connection with the same name, so if my custom loggin application is already started and listening for data, MiniDebugTarget throws error from constructor because connection fails, I've ended with custom subclass of LineFormattedTarget providing different implementation of MiniDebugTarget and that works quite well, Now I can start my debug application at any time and my custom MiniDebugTarget class can send data into connection at any time, Question: is that correct what Iv'e done (custom Debug application window and custom MiniDebugTarget implementation) or maybe I took wrong way with that? LiveDocs have example of custom logging implementation: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex20beta3/1881.html thanks for input, kind regards, Peter Blazejewicz as side-note: I want to thank to Adobe team for releasing source files - I was be able to find what's wrong after looking into sources, -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

Re: [flexcoders] Recommended technologies/frameworks for powering Flex 2.0 RIAs?
You could adapt the following script for ARP by Christophe Herreman to provide localization in Cairngorm. I use it in an huge app and works quite well.I prefer that bind to a SO than use the resourcebundle in flex 2. http://www.herrodius.com/blog/?p=292006/5/26, klumikaze [EMAIL PROTECTED] : Just wondering what everybody out there is using for production/development with their Flex 2.0 RIAs? For an upcoming project, my team has decided to go the J2EE route, but we are unsure about which technologies and frameworks to make use of. We've come up with some basic decisions: - Our presentation layer will be 100% Flex 2.0 - We want to adopt an MVC model for the presentation layer, will likely use Cairngorm - Tomcat for our Java application server - Hibernate for our persistance framework - MySQL for our RDMS - Web Services will provide all data to the presentation layer Some questions we have: - Ant or Maven? I've heard Maven is starting to become more adopted and capable than Ant... thoughts? - What Web Services platform would work best with our configuration? - Should localization be done using the ResourceBundle functionality in Flex 2.0? If so, should Ant/Maven be used to automate the creation of localized versions of the RIA? Open ended questions, obviously there is no best solution for every project. Still, we would like to hear some general opinions on technologies/frameworks for Flex 2.0 based RIAs.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: databinding back to source?
Thank you for the reply! Sorry, I wasnt sure of the exact question because I wasnt sure what I was looking for. So yes the data does update, but the visual component itself does not. For example, if you expand the tree, and edit controls, when you click on controls in the list view, the textinput and selectedItem reference contain my changes, but the listview itself doesn't. Also when editing the selected item, the debug text fields update as you type. I'm unsure of what you meant by a change notification structure like binding. The datasources for both components are a plain object, and I thought I was binding via the curly brackets on the click event? Do I need to create a function that after updating the data, it refreshes the tree/list manually? function update(){ tree.selectedItem.label=lbl.text; tree.whtaever the cmd to refresh is; } On 5/26/06, Michael Montagna [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm not exactly sure what the question is, but it seems you're asking if changes to data pulled from the Tree will be seen in the original data structure?

Gordon, I agree with you completely that the drawing code should be in the updateDisplayList() and this is exactly what I had done in the previous iterations. While testing the tree today, I noticed from the debugger that the drawing code was being repeatedly fired and the tree slowed down to a crawl. So after a few tests, I decided to put the drawing code in the property and it seeemed to have solved the problem. The tree became much more responsive and the lines were still being redrawn correctly. You can try it. Perhaps I stumbled into a bug.

The rows in a DataGrid are recycled, so if you set a color to red, you must reset it to black (or whatever default you want). In your set data function, if you are doing something like: if (data.myval 50) { setStyle(color, 0xFF); } Then, you should add else { setStyle(color, 0x00); } I hope this helps.

Im actually giving a presentation on this topic in a couple of weeks at the SOA WebServices Edge Conference in New York. My talk is titled When AJAX Isnt Enough: Cases for Rich Clients with the Flash Platform My contention in this talk is that there are some cases when you simply cant get the kind of application out of AJAX, either in terms of functionality in cost., and I think this is a good way to pitch Flex development to CTOs and the like who otherwise might think that if they cant do it with AJAX they cant do it. In some ways Flex is getting a lot of attention because of AJAX. How many people were truly pursuing rich UI for the web before the term AJAX was coined? Does anyone have any applications theyve seen or developed that just couldnt be done in AJAX or would be prohibitively expensive or of poor performance?

RE: [flexcoders] When is Flex better suited than AJAX (was AJAX versus Flex)
Jim: If you have had the time to read the whole thread you will get a lot of reasons from more technical and seasoned Flex developers than myself. If you have not had time, I suggest to you go back and read them. With that being said, for me, every ??? you stated below the answer is YES regarding Flex. One thing for me, I really look at is from a user's perspective or as many in the industry have said the "user experience". And besides with Flex you can create a much cleaner and more "desktop" like application. That's one of the things I am interested in. In my post I was never questioning the technical merits of Flex but rather the industry's/media's overall perception which eventually will affect the decision maker. Good luck on your presentation.

Thanks Darren, There are a few issues which you have pointed out that would be a challenge. Communication between the apps, and in the case of Cairngorm, I think that I might run into problems with the fact that in Cairngorm, some things are singletons (AppController, Service, AppModel). If Both apps have the same names for these singletons, would these not conflict? These are some questions that I was wondering about. I was hoping that Cairgngorm experts might be able to help out with. I think that Iteration2 might have had to deal with these issues and can provide a recommendation.
