If you run the IETab Add On in Firefox 3 it effs up debugging...

Try disabling it if you have it running.

Drop a css in the root of your source… (e.g. Main.css)

Add this to the compiler options.

Re: [flexcoders] Barcode scanning with pda (MC50 for instance)

2007-05-29 Thread Clint Modien

Sounds like a fun little project... what programming language were you
thinking of using for interfacing with the Symbol scanner?

I'm guessing you don't care about web security as this sounds like it's a
local application so you'll be able to create a socket connection to a
program listening on socket service running on the local pc. I believe if
you run the swf locally, execute it from file:c/// or http://localhost,
you'll be able to connect to a local service without further client side
configuration.

There are actually a few ways to do this.

  1. Binary Sockets
  2. XML Sockets
  3. A local RTMP service.
  4. AMF polling

Option 3 is by far the best and for that there a few options for you.

  1. Red5 - Java
  2. WebORB - .NET
  3. FDS Express - Java

You could also technically use an AMF solution and polling but you'd
definately lose points on the coolness factor.  I'd want the bi-di
communication that RTMP offers for interfacing with a device.  My gut tells
me that it would be easier to program against an RTMP service than to use
AMF and polling.  (You won't have to manage a stack in the service code.)

You're probably locked into using symbol scanners... but I remembered Renaun
did some really kewl stuff with a webcam barcode reader you may also want to
have a peak @... as a kewl alternative...

to use both displays. The panel which holds a tile, displaying images
of the spreads, kinda breaks in the sense, that the background
doesn't extend to the full width, even though the Tile actually does !?.

How can I report this to Adobe ?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Getting notified when a user 'leaves/quits' the application

2007-02-16 Thread Clint Modien

Currently there's no event notification in AS3.

I haven't implemented it myself (yet) but I've read that the javascript
onBeforeUnload event works best.

Currently we're using the session timeout on the server to tell us that the
user has gone away.

On 2/16/07, julien castelain [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:


  Thanks to all for the replies :)

So here's more details on what i wanted to acheive : A user is running the
application in a browser, can i get notified when he closes the browser
window, or switches to another page?

I was also thinking about the JS solution, but i was wondering if there
was a way to do this only using AS3 ... Paul's reply makes me think i should
have a look at SystemManager more closely :). I'll do my tests and see which
one i choose.

Ciao

On 2/16/07, Paul DeCoursey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 What is the intent here?  The SystemManager has some events that might
 be of interest. deactivate is fired when the flayer loses focus... not
 sure if this is fired when the browser closes or when you browse to a
 different page, might be worth exploring.  There is also idle, fired
 if the user doesn't do anything for a period of time, only 1 second,
 but could be useful if you are just wanting to save a state.

 I'd play around with deactivate and see when it fires. The javascript
 will probably be the best route however.

 Take for instance you want to save user preferences to a local

  Julien,
 
  Not sure what you're really trying to do here. A bit more of a
  description would be useful. I'll take a shot anyway.
 
  I'm going to guess that you've got your application running in a
  browser. As such, you've got a couple options.
 
  First, and most obviously, you could have a close button in your
  application which logs you out or ends the chat or whatever. Just
  leech off of that event, and away you go.
 
  Secondly, if you want to try to capture the closing of the browser
  window, there's a javascript event that you'll want to capture and tie
  it to a method in your application through the ExternalInterface.
 
  Here's a quick snippet of something similar to what I use:
 
  [Javascript]
 
  window.onbeforeunload = browserClosing;
 
  function browserClosing(event_)
  {
  getSWF(MyTestApp).theBrowserIsClosing();
  }
 
  // Gets a reference to the specified SWF file by checking which
browser is
  // being used and using the appropriate JavaScript.
  function getSWF(movieName)
  {
  if (navigator.appName.indexOf(Microsoft) != -1)
  return window[movieName];
  else
  return document[movieName];
  }
 
  [/Javascript]
 
  [MXML]
 
  mx:Application ... creationComplete=load();
  Script![CDATA[
  private function load():void
  {
  if(ExternalInterface.available)
  {
  try
  {
  ExternalInterface.addCallback(theBrowserIsClosing,
  theBrowserIsClosingHandler);
  }
  catch(e:Error){}
  }
  }
 
  private function theBrowserIsClosingHandler():String
  {
  //Do whatever needs to be done here.
  }
  ]]/Script
  /mx:Application
 
  [/MXML]
 
  When your user hits the browser's close button, the onbeforeunload
  event will fire calling the javascript method 'browserClose' which in
  turn will call the 'theBrowserIsClosing' method in your application.
 
  Hope that gets you pointed in the right direction. If not, be a bit
  more specific about what you're trying to do.
 
  Evan

Re: [flexcoders] Col chart will not display a single column, need at least two - bug? (Flex 2.01)

2007-02-10 Thread Clint Modien

This is a pretty common problem people run into...

When you do an xml get from a service... if you get back 2 or more elements
it will be created as an array in AS2/AS3.

But when that same service returns one element it will be deserialized as a
single AS2/AS3 OBJECT.

Import mx.utils.ArrayUtil and then run the result through ArrayUtil.toArray()
first... like this:

mx:ColumnChart
dataProvider={ArrayUtil.toArray(
httpGetYearlyPatentStats.lastResult.rsp.statistic)}

  Hi,

I'm using a column chart with my application. Works fine when

won't work for me because it skips missing years (if the data has
values for 1984 and 1987 let's say, CategoryAxis doesn't know to
display all the years in between on the axis).

Yes.. I think what you want to do is possible.

However... I believe Modules are what you're really after.

The browsers cache will store the shell that you use to load modules if it

your application til you update it.

Re: [flexcoders] RPC Pro's and Cons

Use AMF.

http://www.jamesward.org/census/

AMF is much faster.

WebORB is cheaper than FDS and has more features.  We've used the current
version of WebORB it works nice.

For 10K/socket WebORB for .NET Enterprise supports AMF3 RemoteObjects, RTMP
data pub/sub as well as Media Streaming.

Adobe's FDS is 20K/phyical socket and I think FMS(Media Streaming) is like
5K / box? (You'd have to contact Adobe sales for the pricing for the edge
edition of FMS which would be the equivalent to WebORB's unlimited Media
Streaming connection model.)

If you're just looking for RemoteObject support then there''s WebORB Pro for
2K / phsyical.

WebORB Enterprise/Professional doesn't support Java/ColdFusion however.
This was done on purpose to stay out of Adobe's FDS Java space.  If you go
with Java you need FDS.

Can get a trail version here.
http://www.themidnightcoders.com/weborb/

Incidentally the developer mode (which is the default trial mode if you
install  the trail) allows 5 IP addresses per iisreset which is great for
deploying to dev and test.

can tie Flex applications to Java, .NET or PHP API's for our back-end
systems, but I'm wondering whether to go with a home-grown
approach/WebORB vs. FDS? Does serving Flex apps from the FDS server
reduce bandwidth or make for more efficient delivery? Is polling
really terribly detrimental compared to data pushing? Is FDS amazingly
faster, better, stronger than going with a free option. How much can
an FDS server take before we need to build out the architecture?

Basically I need to have a good list of WHY we should use Flex Data

the architecture.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Builder 2 classpaths

Hmm... I think I understand your question.  Unless your code is compiled
into a swc... the answer is no.  It has to be in your workspace.

There is a workaround however.  You can map a folder in your workspace to a
folder on your hard drive.

When you create a new folder in your project there is an advanced button
that will allow you to select the folder you'd like to link too.

Hope this helps.

Oops wrong key...

 

The code is opensource so you can see how it works... here's the call it
makes. (This is cairngorm v2)

 

/**

   * Return the WebService for the given service id.

   * @param serviceId the service id.

   * @return the RemoteObject.

   */

  public function getWebService( serviceId : String ) : WebService

  {

 return WebService( getServiceForId( serviceId ) );

  }

 

/**

   * Return the service with the given id.

   * @param serviceId the id of the service to return.

   * @return the service.

  private function getServiceForId( serviceId : String ) : Object

  {

 if ( this[ serviceId ] == null )

 {

throw new CairngormError(

   CairngormMessageCodes.NO_SERVICE_FOUND, serviceId );

 }

 

 return this[ serviceId ];

  }

 

And when you look at the code... it grabs the instance of your service
from the ServiceLocator.mxml file.

 

For example:

 

YourServiceLocatorSubClass.getInstance().loginService;  which equals
this[ loginService ] which equals this.loginService.

 

It's just a fancy way of saying this.loginSevice where this is
YourServiceLocatorSubClass.

 

You used to be able to simply include the cairngorm framework code and
step through it... it's a little trickier now that they're using
resource bundles.

 

The ServiceLocator class is a singleton as well.  You will only EVER
have one in your application so even though you are creating a subclass
as soon as you call getInstance() you will get the only instance there
is in your application.  If you had two Services.mxml files
(Service1.mxml and Services2.mxml) in your app the last one created
would be the one returned by ServiceLocator.getInstance();

 

Hope that helps.

Re: [flexcoders] Cairngorm ServiceLocator

2007-01-05 Thread Clint Modien

All you statements make sense...  the only missing piece is the static
instance for a singleton.  By subclassing the singleton ServiceLocator you
gain the static getInstance() method.  Your subclass will now be a reference
to a static / global variable called instance contained within the
ServiceLocator class.  When you call getInstance() you'll get a reference to
your ServiceLocator implementation.  You can see how this works by putting a
breakpoint on the ServiceLocator constructor.  If you watch the instance
variable you'll see that it's your own ServiceLocator class implementation.

The Singleton pattern used here is to enforce that you only ever want one
ServiceLocator in your application.  (One place to get services.)

I understand that you'd like to call
MyFunkyServiceLocator.getInstance().getService(serviceName)
but static methods aren't inherited.

The result method still gets triggered but the returned data object has
no properties… Everything works fine for the first time though.

The same service works fine in a Cairngorm 2.0 app. Any ideas?

Re: [flexcoders] Functions as objects

2006-12-08 Thread Clint Modien

Here's some code to get the name of the currently executing function
dynamically if that's what you're after...

   var traceTarget:TraceTarget = new TraceTarget();

   // Log only messages for the classes in the mx.rpc.* and

   // mx.messaging packages.
   //traceTarget.filters=[mx.rpc.*,mx.messaging.*];

   // Log all log levels.
   traceTarget.level = LogEventLevel.ALL;

   // Add date, time, category, and log level to the
output.
  // This is a bug right now... you can't include both date
and time.
   traceTarget.includeDate = false;
   traceTarget.includeTime = true;
   traceTarget.includeCategory = true;
   traceTarget.includeLevel = true;
   traceTarget.filters = [com.esria.logging];

   // Begin logging.

   var logger:ILogger = Log.getLogger(com.esria.logging);
   traceTarget.addLogger(logger);

   Log.addTarget(traceTarget);
   var d:String =  DateUtil.formatDate(new Date(),
MM/DD/YYY);
   var x:XML = describeType(this);
   var memberName:String = undefined;
   var members:XMLList = x.method.(@declaredBy==
this.className);
   for each(var member:XML in members) {
   memberName = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
   if (this[memberName] == arguments.callee)

break;
   }
   logger.debug({0}.{1}, this.className, memberName);

Quick note... You should build a hasmap of each classes members that get
returned by (x.method.(@declaredBy==this.className); )  if you plan on using
it more than once to save looping over the classes variable names.

  Funny, I just read that this morning. However, it doesn't really apply
here. I need to pass a function object and the name will probably be
different for each one. So assigning a value to a variable of the class
isn't acceptable, since the value will change for each call.

As I mentioned, I have a workaround, but I really want to know whether the
documentation is correct and I've simply missed something, or Adobe needs to
clean up the docs.

Re: [flexcoders] Functions as objects

2006-12-07 Thread Clint Modien

Function inherits from Object so you should be able to do...

Object(this.test).prop = someprop;

Why are you doing this?  What are you trying to do... it sounds interesting.

On 12/6/06, Derek Vadneau [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:


  I've tried using the example from the docs where you assign the value
to a property on the function and then use arguments.callee.prop to
get the value, but Flex Builder gives me an error saying Access of
possibly undefined property prop through a reference with static type
Function. when assigning the value to the function.

Example:
function test()
{
trace(arguments.callee.prop);
}
test.prop = testing; // Error

Global.as defines Function as dynamic yet FB produces an error.

This is supposedly possible in AS3 as per:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/1835.html

However, if you try the last example you'll get compiler errors.

Is there a way to add properties to a function? Or is this not supported
in AS3?

[flexcoders] Global error / exception handler or event

2006-12-02 Thread Clint Modien
Right now when I miss an error in my Application there isn't any way
for me to be notified that an uncaught exception has occurred. (PLEASE
correct me if I'm wrong on that... like some low level undocumented
super hack?)

I know this got shelved way back when but I wanted to start a thread
to maybe get this feature implemented for Flex 3.

I know Ely has said that this would be extremely hard to do but I
wanted to let the Adobe folks know that this is one of those REALLY
nice to haves.  If I don't want to wrap every piece of code in a try
catch I still want to be able to log/handle that exception some
where.. some how.

load a different cross doman policy file, and I have done that, but it

allow-access-from domain=*  to-ports=*/

and
 allow-access-from domain=* /

with or without 'secure=false' in both the /crossdomain.xml and in
the  file I load specifically with loadPolicyFile().

I can clearly see the swf file content seems to be loaded, but when I
try to upload I always get an IOError event, which yields no useful
information other than the fact that something failed. 

Can anyone help me?  Is this something that Flex just can not handle?

Re: [flexcoders] WebOrb for Rails

2006-10-10 Thread Clint Modien
 Ahh man, you're off here but it is nothing but an opinion from both of us.

Your opinions are based on speculation. Mine are based on facts.

 Competition helps the technology thrive. A lot of people in the community 
 stated the Adobe merger took the competition out of the market due to 
 overlapping technology (Fireworks-Photoshop, DW-Go Live, etc).

 Now, unless WebORB is said to NEVER overlap with the technologies Adobe is 
 implementing then I will understand. If not, there is overlap. Oh yeah, you 
 might want to change .NET to YES and YES according to Allen. I don't know if 
 Adobe is working on one or not but I don't see why they wouldn't.

There is no overlap.  WebORB is doing this on purpose to stay out of
Adobe's space.  Adobe is not doing a .NET version... Allen is
mistaken.

 So, a question for you: if you build a product and someone else builds the 
 same product, is that competition? I say yes. Is Fluourine a competitor to 
 Adobe's $900 (or whatever it is) .NET implementation? Uhyeah. :-)

Adobe doesn't have a .NET implementation and is not creating one.

 Disclaimer:
 I'm not here to argue. From a business point of view, I just don't agree with 
 you Clint and, seemingly, Adobe doesn't either (based on your comment about 
 Adobe being uncomfortable).

The main premise for your argument is that Adobe is creating a .NET
implementation.  They are not.  WebORB is not competing in the same
space as Adobe's FDS.  It complements the same space.

  You make interesting points and I agree Adobe should think/act bigger in

  them).
 
 
 
 
 
  I don't agree with every point though. WebORB is a competitor to FDS. 
  Forget the implementation. The outcome is the same, right? That's all that 
  matters. At least this is my opinion. If WebORB works just as good as FDS, 
  I'd stick with ORB simply because I can change my backend and my front-end 
  stay the same.
 
 
 
 
 
  I have yet to get it working (only tried once while I was in another preso

  Adobe needs to hold up WebOrb to the public and say... Look

  WebOrb isn't even producing a Java remoting implementation to stay out of

IS there anything that these flex application will only work in the 
exploded form.

Please help me.. Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Hara

[flexcoders] Adobe Flex Certification Document

2006-10-06 Thread Clint Modien










Details on my blog



http://clintmodien.wordpress.com/2006/10/06/adobe-flex-certification-coming/



from the post:

So before anyone gets upset with me for
posting this Ive cleared it with Adobe first.

I was booking my MAX ticket the other day when I saw
something about certification. It made me wonder enough to run a search on
Google: http://www.google.com/search?hl=enlr=lang_enrls=GGGL%2CGGGL%3A2006-22%2CGGGL%3Aenq=adobe+flex+exambtnG=Search

The first result that came back was: Adobe Flex 2.0 Developer
Certification Examination Specification

I clicked on it and noticed that the document said Adobe
Confidential at the bottom so after forwarding it some buddies :p
I forwarded it to Matt Chotin and asked him if he knew about it.. he said that
Adobe was aware and that they left it up there because they thought the
community would be excited that certification was coming.

It looks pretty well done guys!! Where do I sign up!!

RE: [flexcoders] WebOrb for Rails

2006-10-05 Thread Clint Modien












How is WebORB a competitor to FDS in the
AMF3 space?

 

Backends FDS  WEBORB

Java Yes No 


CF Yes No

.NET No Yes

Ruby No Yes

PHP No Yes



By promoting WebORB it would be good for
the community it would be good for Flex.



I would rather have flex support 5 remoting
solutions instead of 2.



Thinking of WebORB as competition has
created the scenerio where Adobe is uncomfortable with promoting
WebORB. Stop thinking this way. Its supressing the technology.

You make interesting points and I agree Adobe should think/act bigger
in terms of other languages. Microsoft is even going it with .NET (IronPython,
Ruby.NET; community driven but MSFT is supporting them/talking
about them). 











I don't agree with every point though. WebORB is a competitor to FDS.
Forget the implementation. The outcome is the same, right? That's all that
matters. At least this is my opinion. If WebORB works just as good as FDS, I'd
stick with ORB simply because I can change my backend and my front-end stay the
same. 











I have yet to get it working (only tried once while I was in another
preso so that doesn't count; lol) but I am highly interested in the Rails
integration.











Anyone open to give a preso onWebORB (with any backend language
it supports)I can supply the Breeze room. :-) (hit me offlist)

 Streamlining this process is on our roadmap.

[flexcoders] Flex Marketing

2006-10-04 Thread Clint Modien
I mentioned this @ the Silicon Valley Flex User Group meeting the
other day but I wanted to reiterate it here and see if I could invoke
a response from Adobe.

Mr. Mendels?

Where is the marketing for Flex?  Why keep the most beautiful
framework in the world for creating applications a secret? Where are
the Visual Studio style banner adds everywhere. Where is the buzz for
it on Slashdot.  Why arn't other developers in the world standing up
and saying is creating applications really this easy!?!

I've seen the lights go on in a developers eyes when they get it.
When they see what 5 lines of code can acomplish with Flex.  They get
excited.  Excitement sells licenses.

(Gets off his soapbox and points to it...)  ...  Thoughts?

2006-09-26 Thread Clint Modien



What was the subcode for the 403 error?


On 9/26/06, David Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:





HI Guys.Thanks for the reponses.@Clint: I think it is something to do with connections as what it appears to be random on which images have the issue.EG: You have 20 images. You load the Flex up and 3 of them don't work and the IIS log tells me 403. 
Then I refresh the Flex app, and a Different X amount don't work, but the original ones do...so I am guessing its something to do with IIS refusing connection due to load...@b0b0bb0b (nice name!): I'll give that a go. I have tried both return via ColdFusion (using cfcontent if you know what that means) and direct with a HTTP:// reference, but I suspect again that IIS is chocking...

Re: [flexcoders] Lots of images and 403 errors

2006-09-26 Thread Clint Modien



If your using iis for winxp then the max connection limit is 10.
You can bump it to 40 max by using:
adsutil set w3svc/MaxConnections 40

HI Guys.Thanks for the reponses.@Clint: I think it is something to do with connections as what it appears to be random on which images have the issue.EG: You have 20 images. You load the Flex up and 3 of them don't work and the IIS log tells me 403. 
Then I refresh the Flex app, and a Different X amount don't work, but the original ones do...so I am guessing its something to do with IIS refusing connection due to load...@b0b0bb0b (nice name!): I'll give that a go. I have tried both return via ColdFusion (using cfcontent if you know what that means) and direct with a HTTP:// reference, but I suspect again that IIS is chocking...

Ted, that is a handy site.

A suggestion: An issue that is not obvious to those who are not web/network administratiors is: Where do I put the crossdomain.xml file. While I bet this is discussed on more than one of the links you provide, consider a quick paragraph on the subject, for additional convenience.


The usual response: In the root of the web server is not enough for non-experts. Include an example path for, say the default integrated Flex 1.5 install, one for a default Tomcat install, and one for a default IIS install.


I figured mine out by putting a full access crossdomain file in every possible folder until my call worked, then deleting them until I broke it again. This showed me the right place. You see why I am not offering to provide the examples!

Rogerio,

http://www.crossdomainxml.org

http://www.crossdomainxml.org

With Socket operations you will need to have a crossdomain.xml file on the server you are connecting to, in this case the POP server! This particular crossdomain.xml file needs to permit access to use low/high ports for inbound connections. It is identical to the process needed to support XMLSocket servers.


The use of crossdomain policy files prevents Flash/Flex clients from abusing other peoples servers. As permission is delegated to the server owner, they can decide what ports Flash Player can connect to.

Example:

cross-domain-policy
 allow-access-from domain=* to-ports=507 /
 allow-access-from domain=*.foo.com to-ports=507,516 /
 allow-access-from domain=*.bar.com to-ports=516-523 /
 allow-access-from domain=www.foo.com to-ports=507,516-523 /
 allow-access-from domain=www.bar.com to-ports=* /
/cross-domain-policy


I put together this small site on crossdomain policy files. It doesn't have any glits and gives you the bare bones knowledge on using crossdomain.

Now that he´s free, I try to test something but it just don´t work.
Don´t give me any errors. Seems to be a security issue, like

After doing some digging I found a Firefox extension called Tamper

ServiceCapture is definitely a great tool but seems to suffer if
you're behind a proxy, as you have to tell your browsers to use
ServiceCapture as their proxy. You can tell serviceCap to use a proxy server in the options. 
I've yet to find a configuration that
allows me to use it with both IE and FF without having to adjust
settings somewhere along the way. IE is auto configured... but granted... Firefox takes 4 mouse clicks  to switch over to using serviceCap and 4 mouse clicks to stop using it.

Re: [flexcoders] Tomcat 5.5/Flex Data Services/OutOfMemoryError

2006-07-29 Thread Clint Modien



I think the default allocation for Tomcat is something small like 128Megs...Assuming your running windows... crack open the tomcat service manager and you'll see an area where you can edit the JVM settings.
Set the initial memory pool to 300+ Megs and the Max (depending on how much ram you have...) to 512 MegsThat should work for running the samples.On 7/29/06,

Here's a weird one - when attempting to run the samples provided with 
FDS Express 2.0, the first sample app I attempt to load (and therefore 
compile) works fine, but subsequent ones crash with a 
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError on the compile.

Any insights welcomed, as something seems desperately wrong...

Thanks!

For now, does anyone have great documentation for converting

thanks that worked ;)ok thats the PopUpButton partially fixed... now for PopUpMenuButtonI'm gonna rephrase the PopUpMenuButton problem I mentioned above...
When I first open the menu... I'm accessing the root menu... When I hover over one of those items for the time then move my mouse over another item in root menu ( not sub menus ). The menu closes on it's own. If I redo all of this again but this time I go into sub menus and then hover over the parent or root menu of the sub menu I just entered into... the menu also closes on it's own.
There hope that is explained better :pOn 03/07/06, Benoit Hediard

Re: [flexcoders] Python / Flex solution

2006-07-24 Thread Clint Modien



Umm... if the data is read-write to the server (which I'm assuming it is since you asked about fds)I'd use value objects and a webservce.The closest thing I've seen to an amf solution is Flashticle and I don't think they've upgraded to AMF3 yet. Technically the AMF3 spec isn't out till sometime this fall so you might look for a Python AMF3 implementation sometime then? Unless someone reverse engineers the protocol... *laughs* I just did a search for who I though might reveng it... Kevin Langdon... and yup... he's done it so who knows... an am3 solution for python might be around the corner. But for now... I'm pretty sure you should go with passing objects via a web service.
Hope that helps.On 7/22/06, matt wicks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Re: [flexcoders] ASP.NET and Flex2

2006-07-24 Thread Clint Modien




1. Is it necessary for me to use FDS to send and return data to the
flex clients and what can you only do using FDS that can't be achieved
using web services?Not necessary no. The sweetest thing about using FDS is using the data synchronization features. You can essentially create CRUD code for objects in your system and FDS can synchronize the data server side and client side. Meaning you can have 1 client update data and have that data get pushed down to the server... persisted to a database and at the same time pushed out to other clients for real time updates. You can't do this without FDS.

2. Can you pass strongly typed objects into and out of flex using .net
webservices?Yes. (mostly) When you pass objects via a webservice into AS3 the (Objects) themselves aren't strongly typed. They're just generic objects graphs that you can dot down through. MyAs3Obj.someCollection
[0].someProperty. The nice thing about remoting is that you can pass back typed AS3 objects so you get compile time checking in FlexBuilder against custom as3 classes that you write that are mirror images of your typed objects on the server. When you dot down throug generic object graphs you can mistype the name. This isn't quite as big a deal as it used to be in AS2. In AS2 we used to get silent failures at runtime (took forever to debug). But in AS3 we get runtime errors so that when you get a null reference exeception it yells at you in the debug player (not in the release player). There is a beta implementation of AS3 Remoting/ FDS in .NET called weborb. 
http://www.themidnightcoders.com/
3. Does flash allow for file-based video streaming without using a
specialised server?Yes.
4. Can I use flash remoting to communicate with my .net back-end?Yes. Although it isn't necessary as you can use weborb.On 7/24/06, 
prendergastjames [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:













  



Hi, 
I'd like to apologise if this request is a little too open ended
before I get started... so here it is: sorry.

I'm developing an asp.net web application. The client is keen - quite
late in the day I might add - to use Flex for the interface for it's
ability to provide flexible and robust components. I want to be able
to keep the Data Layer and Business Objects that I've been hacking
away at in .net. 

I've had a little time to evaulate flex and have succesfully accessed,
modified and returned data using strongly typed .net objects, however
my actionscript knoweldge only dates back to Flash 5 so I've hit the
first slopes of the learning curve.  

I'm basically asking if anyone can give me any guidance on the following:
1. Is it necessary for me to use FDS to send and return data to the
flex clients and what can you only do using FDS that can't be achieved
using web services?
2. Can you pass strongly typed objects into and out of flex using .net

4. Can I use flash remoting to communicate with my .net back-end?

That is of course unless you own the domain groupvii.net and the mail server and not using your isp's email. After doing a whois on groupvii.net
 I'm assuming that you do own that domain.An example of the filtering that Shannon is talking about would be if your using dial-up or dsl from ATT and you have an ATT email... then and only then would ATT filter your mail. If you have ATT as your ISP but are not using 
groupvii.net for email... ATT will not filter your groupvii.net email.Although I havn't read further into ATT's assocation with the NSA... so they might be? *snickers*
