Re: [flexcoders] Mediators, Presentation Models and Flex 4 Components
Thanks Gabirel. I'm also thinking about the case when we use some flex framework like Parsley.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Out of curiosity, what would Adobe lose if Flash were open sourced?
Yes, I did, and it is enough to view the flash graphics. And, of course it doesn't really execute any AVM2 bytecode. What I was trying to say in my previous posts is that *would be* (would be is accented if you cannot see the HTML formatting) great if Adobe had given more thinking to supporting this initiative as well as other initiatives concerning the SWF format usage. I encourage you (not you in particular, but anyone interested) to go and read this: http://ncannasse.fr/blog/open_source_flash?lang=en http://ncannasse.fr/blog/back_in_2005?lang=en These aren't really happy articles, they are rather frustrating... The current state of things is that the tools existing on Linux for developing for flash are almost nil, or are so bad that you won't want to use them. Start with that the debug player installation is broken and it was probably never tested because the shell script which has to install the player contains syntax errors... Now to format openness and what it means and what's the fuss is all about. Well, this is my understanding and what I conclude from all I've read from Richard Stallman and many others respected OSS admirers. The intention of OSS is to prevent one company, which had circumstantially acquired a knowledge or technology from restricting others from using the same knowledge. That is, once you invent a bicycle and then you discover the bicycle was already invented, the fact you have also discovered it should be valid enough to let you use it the way you see fit. This, on the other hand doesn't mean that you have any right to demand from another inventor to implement the changes that you want to his own invention. Think of you being the other inventor, you would immediately comprehend the situation. I do take part in three OSS projects. I also have submitted requests for changes / patches - some were implemented, some weren't. This is up to the projects owner to implement them, and if I believe the project's owner is wrong not applying my patch, then, sorry, but I have no other choice, but to start my own project, where I would do it as I want. However you want it or not, this is true when speaking about SWF format. I can submit a patch or post an improvement request, and it is in the right of the original developer (Adobe) to apply or reject my patch. What is true though regarding OSS community vs Adobe relationships is that they are far from being perfect... It is often times to difficult to communicate your ideas to Adobe engineers... (yet it is definitely possible) It is also true that Adobe seldom mentions or even agrees to admit other flash-related projects exist. I have so far not seen any official statement from Adobe PR people regarding HaXe, SWFTools and others of this kind. Best. Oleg

Also, think of all those hidden API's which Breeze and Adobe Connect use or the ability to connect directly via TCP to other clients without buying an extremely expensive server. HTML 5 is much more open than all of this, yes people have API's which are browser specific, but really what is the point of that (that is as good as deploying with gears (in the past, now this api is built into chrome).

[flexcoders] flex toggle button question
Hi All, I have a toggle button (play / pause), that needs to be 'clicked' externally from flash (e.g. a javascript call thru external interface to pause the video). I am able to make the button switch state by saying playPauseButton.selected=true This succeeds in toggling the skin for the button, but doesn't seem to toggle the internal state of the button. So the next time the button is clicked with the mouse, the click action doesn't fire, and you have to click the button twice to have it work. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks, Adrian

For performance reasons it is generally advised to only manage lightweight classes by the framework and for views mediators are used.

I'd say that first there's the Flex framework level---it's component and application lifecycles---with which you should be very familiar with if you're concerned about your application's performance. If used properly it will hide from you most of the problems associated with flash performance like frame render cycles and the order in which things are measured and laid out. And then the micro-architecture level, also called framework, but which is a different level---the level at which Parsley would be described---which guides you about how components and other classes are grouped into larger applications. It is at this level a one can appreciate a light weight, non intrusive frameworks which reduce the need to write boiler plate code and will let you aggregate features to your application in a way that you can always make sense of what's going on... but performance at this level is perhaps more of a programmer's performance: how can these guidelines and helper classes keep the accumulating code readable for programmer whose job, more than anything else, is to read lots and lots of ageing code. I've been using Swiz lately ---which is somewhat related to Parsley--- and the guys that build it insist on not having to extend their classes but only mark here and there with metadata to let the framework fill in the gaps for you. This is not, I think, to make the app go faster but to keep you from becoming confused with myriads of strange unfamiliar voodoo classes which multiply in between the parts you do properly understand: your components and your data. But this is not at the skin-host level but higher up. So regarding your question, if in your host component you understand the lower level interactions of your skin parts (clicked this, typed that) and can translate them into higher level gestures (attempt a login, make a search) which you can just dispatch in the simplest way possible and let your Swiz or Parsley, etcetera, classes magically forward that gesture your controllers, mediators, I guess you should be fine. hth, gabriel -- gabriel montagné láscaris comneno http://rojored.com +44 (0) 7500 709 209

won't show the scrollbars. It is easy to replicate - just supply 1000 lines of

never know that there is some hidden below the bottom line.
If you use TextArea as IR, it will show the scrollbars, but the whole datagrid
is getting nuts while rendering. It means that it will render the rows way
after the datagrid on first create. If you update datagrid, it will place IRs

Re: [flexcoders] dataGrid ItemRenderer Error
Most mx components are capable of being item renderers. Most spark components
are not and don’t have a data property. Use MXDataGridItemRenderer and shove
all the other things inside it.

Re: [flexcoders] Matrix Transform does not update Container's properties
There might be something I’m missing, but Flex 3 does not support most transform manipulations other than scale. It should work correctly in Flex 4, especially for Spark components.

It works fine for SWFLoader. Thanks! Cheers, Dmitri. -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe System, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui
