Requests/Votes re Printing, PDF, MARS (was RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Feedback for the Future)
Hi, As someone pointed out, MARS is in a early state. I think it would really help if folks really are precise about what problem they want to solve rather than how they want to solve it. If the problem to solve is client-side PDF generation, there are multiple approaches we might take to that (and we have some stuff being worked on). That might also solve the printing requests people have, but we might also solve some (all?) of those also through other approaches with the PrintJob API for example. MARS support is interesting, but since MARS is so early, it might not be a good short or medium term route to solving either client side PDF creation or improved printing. So, my request to this group is: If you vote for MARS support, be precise about why and what your use case is. If what you really want is client side PDF creation and/or specific improvements to PrintJob, sumbit and vote for those directly, don't use the MARS ER as a proxy.

RE: [flexcoders] PDF rendering in Flex
Did you look at the Adobe Share APIs: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Share:API .

It is possible to read a PDF in flex, but rendering it is a bit tricky. First if it's compressed you'll have to unzip parts of it. Once you have it decoded you could execute the drawing commands on a UIComponent and display the text roughly the same, but I'm not sure about images. If they are JPEG I suppose you could feed it to a SWFLoader, but if it's Tiff, I don't think you can do that. But if you know that the PDF is not going to have images or just simple images and you keep them simple then I think it could be possible to build the component to display it.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Will Microsoft's new Silverlight Player Kill our beloved Flex ?
Scott, This is all FUD. You contributed a lot to the Flex community for years, but the below is just so off-base. a) Flex 1.0 and 1.X did not crash and burn. It was one of the most successfull new product introductions in the history of the company. It was a 1.X product, and it wasn't perfect, and in particular in advance of the new VM the performance was not where any of us wanted it yet at that time. That said, it still was a massive advance, did very well, and many people (not everyone) were very successfull with it. As soon as we had the performance issues nailed with the new VM, we broadened the strategy with the free FlexSDK and FlexBuilder 2. That was (IMO) the right order of operations. You mileage may vary, but Flex is taking off beautifully. b) Our strategy is clear. The FlexSDK is free and can work with any backend you choose--directly via XML, JSON, WebServices, or one of many implementations of AMF. c) We are building an enterprise server product line as well. It isn't intended for everyone. But it has tremendous value for use cases where it it relevent and it is also very successfull. It is clear you are not interested in it yourself, which is fine. Others are. We--Adobe--will continue to do our best to build great products and if we do people will use them. If that is a conspiracy I don't get it. d) Many applications have documents/forms as inputs, outputs, artifacts. Being able to integrate in a deep way with documents, using PDF (an ISO standard) can be very valuable. Some of the use cases I have seen lately include health and benefits enrollment, tax submissions, mortgage loan origination, insurance claims processing, corrospondence management, field service management, new account opening, clinical trial management, new drug submissions, grant applications, etc etc. I could go on, but the combination of Flex and LiveCycle (and PDF) enables some very powerfull and seamless applications that create better experiences, reduce costs, improve compliance, etc. I am not sure what is controversial here for you--these apps exist whether they are of interest to you or not. If you aren't interested, so be it. There is no tight coupling with Flex which is free. There is not now nor has there ever been a conspiracy. Whether many people or a few people are interested in LiveCycle is not really an metric that matters to the success of Flex and I am not sure what you are trying to prove. I trust one day you will come back to the fold -;) We'll keep working on advancing Flex and Flash Player and Apollo in the meantime--no conspiracies. -David From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Barnes Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2007 6:44 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Will Microsoft's new Silverlight Player Kill our beloved Flex ? Paul: How many? Seriously, throw the numbers on the table because I got to tell you, both pre-Microsoft and post-Microsoft things haven't changed that radically that DMS is more favoured then SAAS. SAAS is the new SOA dream, and people want it because it's less red-tape to fight for a capital expense claim against not only software but now hardware + bodies to support the software that was bought. SAAS delegates that problem to someone else to solve and so it means in theory less bodies to support the infrastructure and more focus on supporting the users if need be. Not saying DMS is dead by any stretch, i'm sure LiveCycle solves a million and one points of interest in this space and it does look compelling when you separate it away from FLEX for a bit. Yet, let's take a step back and look at the bigger picture, how does FLEX developers world-wide get any wins from having LiveCycle in the room, and what percentage of them are in favour of LiveCycle development being slotted in front of FLEX? 2002 Paul, I've been waiting since 2002.. I waded through swapping and changing of Flash Framework directions (V1 to V2) like the rest of some of us on this list.

I watched CENTRAL get thrown our way, and was glad we could use this concept and wondered why it went away (EULA and again not consulting customers first was the perception). I watched as FLEX 2.0 came back, but free only the whole remoting piece dropped off the radar and came back as Flex Data Services.

RE: [flexcoders] 360Flex vs. Adobe MAX - which would you attend?
Hi, MAX will go deep in the details on Flex (and Apollo!) too. MAX is big enough and there are enough sessions that you can spend the entire three days going deep on Flex, and/or spend time in a mix of sessions that also cover other core Adobe technologies. I think both events will be great. Flex360 is a community event, smaller, and more focused--the last one had 400 people. There will be participants from the Flex and Apollo teams, but not nearly as many. MAX is Adobe's flagship event. We expect about 3000 developers. There will be both beginning and advanced sessions on pretty much everything from Adobe, Flex, Apollo, Flash, Creative Suite, ColdFusion, but there are enough sessions that you can be very focused on just your area of interest. In my opinion, one of the most exciting things about MAX that no other event in the world has, is the depth and breadth of participation by the product team engineers--a large number of members of the Flex team, the Apollo team, the Flash Player (etc etc) team will be at the event, both as speakers but more importantly just walking around at the event, at the meals and party, and there are lots of opportunities to get to know them, ask questions, make requests, etc. I have been to every MAX (previously called UCON) for 15 years except one (my 2nd child was born during MAX 4 years ago so I didn't attend). The energy level, diversity, talent, creativity represented at the event is phenomonal. I walk away every year incredibly inspired. If you have any chance to attend I would highly reccomend it.

For the library item - If it was being done in Flash, I'd use
attachMovie () like:
var cPoint:MovieClip = circle.attachMovie(pointer, 'point' +
counter, 0 + counter, {_x:centerX + x, _y:centerY + y,

which would place the item on the stage as many times as I need

scheduling API on Labs (was RE: [flexcoders] Ely's Quietlyscheming Calendar)
Hi, I wanted to make clear because I think it wasn't clear enough on the site itself (yet). This code is open source and free for you to use. Our own consulting team developed it and was able to donate it to the community, but it isn't a formal product from Adobe and doesn't have a team or a schedule. We are really hoping others in the community will jump into it, improve it, share their results. I am sure that over time the orginal folks from Adobe Consulting will probably add to it as well, but you shouldn't be expecting a next verion or final release from us--this will be a community effort and will go as fast as folks out in the community contribute. -David From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of maunger Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2007 1:52 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Ely's Quietlyscheming Calendar Hi y'all I've been messing with Ely's Calendar and am learning lots... i posted a note over on his blog comments wondering if anyone out there is actually using this and has improved it in any way - but I'm sure there's a lot more traffic over here, so I thought I'd ask here as well.

[flexcoders] New release of Flex AJAX Bridge and first release of AJAX Data Services up on Labs...
Hi all, FYI, David - Hi all, Two new pre-release Flex libraries are going up on labs in the next couple hours: Ajax Data Services library http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Ajax_Data_Services Flex Ajax Bridge (FABridge) update http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex-Ajax_Bridge AJAX Data Services is a new JavaScript library that lets you access the powerful messaging and data management capabilities of Flex Data Services directly from JavaScript. With this library, you can integrate application clients built using Ajax technologies with the same back-end data services used by Flex application clients. This means that data from Flex applications can now be automatically synchronized with other Ajax applications, ensuring that both users see the most current, accurate information. Significant updates have also been made to the Flex-Ajax Bridge (FABridge), which, as you know, allows JavaScript-enabled components to interoperate with Flex-enabled components embedded in the same web page. Using both FABridge and the new Ajax Data Services library, you can now leverage the full benefits of both the Flex programming model and Flex Data Services, providing full interoperability with existing or new Ajax applications.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 3.0 - What happened to letting Flex 2 bed in?
Hi, Let me correct some misimpressions in this thread: A) We are not rushing out Flex 3. The Flex 3 beta has not started and is some time away. Once we have a first public alpha or beta, it will still be a logn while until we ship. What you are seeing is not about us rushing the product, it is about us becoming much more open about what is coming down the road in the future. We started this with Adobe Labs (initially Macromedia Labs) but in this cycle in the next few months you will see up open up more so folks can see the roadmap and give us feedback. B) Keep in mind, we released the first public alpha of Flash at Max in October 2005. We had a small private alpha underway for a few months before that. But we didn't ship Flex 2 until June 27 2006. Just because we are looking for testers and able to demo so features doesn't mean we are about to ship. It just means we want to give you a view of the product before it is baked so you can give us feedback (and also for your planning). From when we had our first external testers to when we shipped Flex 2 ws almost 12 months. It may not be as long this time because it is not such an major architectural change, but we are going to let the product bake and stay focused on quality. C) Flex 2 was a major architectural release. We changed the VM, the language, the framework, and the tool in fundamental and non-compatible ways. Flex 3 will not be such a release. We are now able to leverage those years of work and build on it incrementally. I think we can add a ton of value in areas like productivity, designer developer workflow, approachability, etc; but this release will not be a rewrite and will not be something each of you needs to relearn and invest heavily to migrate to. D) A key point is that we are going to be targetting the Flash 9 Player again. It has been very succussfull, it has already underdone a significant .oX release with any fixes, and we believe it is and will continue to be rock solid when Flex 3 ships. So we are not introducing change for your end customers, or a new target platform for you to consider fixing. E) We did invest heavily in Flex 2.0.X and in polishing the 2.0 release. We continue to do this and our team will release hot fixes on occasion for critical issues. Just because we are working on 3.0, doesn't mean we don't also have people supporting and doing fixes when needed on Flex 2 Hope this helps. We really hope by being more open about what is coming earlier we help you, not create all this stress in this thread :) Let me know if this addresses all your concerns. -David Adobe
RE: [flexcoders] Flex 3.0 - What happened to letting Flex 2 bed in?
Hello, No, we are not trying to sync the schedule of Flex 3 and CS3. And the ship of Flex 3 is a ways out. We will of course have a public beta in advance, but if you are at all serious about doing work with Flex it would be crazy to wait--it is not around the corner. Please recall, from the first public Alpha at MAX 2005 it was 8 full months till we shipped Flex 2. We might go faster this time, but we haven't even done a first public release.

In particular, I am keen to know if there were significant improvements made to Flexbuilder itself. Stuff like increased compiler performance, ease of use with relative paths, etc would be of interest to me. A close second would be roughly the number of bugs fixed in the actually Flex UI framework.

RE: [flexcoders] Can Flex 2.0 compile swf file for FP7?
Hello, No. Flex 2 only compiles to FP9. Flex 1.X compiles to FP7. This restriction was a hard tradeoff but we decided given that dramatic performance increase in the new AVM (ActionScript Virtual Machine) and language enhancement it was the right tradeoff.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 patch timeline
Hi, I think folks over interpreted Matt's email. Please cut him (and us) some slack. We will do patch releases. We are staffed to do patch releases. We do need to aggregate up bugs and do them in a thoughtfull fashion because any fix can break something else. We base what we fix and when we do such releases on customer feedback--if we need to we might put out one immediately after a new release or we might go 6 months. It depends on the issues our customers are facing. But we are indeed staffed and have resources to be able to do patches and you will see patches for Flex. I don't have a specific date for you because we haven't finalized everything that will be in it yet. It doesn't make sense to do a lot of tiny patches because the overhead of regression testing a release of the software is enormous so we will do fewer, medium sized patches instead. This is true for the Player team, the Compiler team, the SDK team, the tool team and the server team. Each of these teams might do patches on a different cycle of course depending on need. In general, we are most conservative about changes to the Player because the risk of "injections" is highest here with software that quickly goes out to 100s of millions of people. Jack, you suggest we should have a patch in the first "6-9 months after a release". While we don't have a final schedule in place, that is a reasonable timeframe from my perspective too. Please don't jump to conclusions (and jump on Matt)--we don't need to rethink our strategy here, on the contrary, we seem to be in agreement. -David SVP, Adobe From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack CaldwellSent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 3:18 PMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2 patch timeline Matt or anyone else at Adobe. I agree that the quality of Flex Builder 2 is good . . . . very good . . . . however . . . . I know nothing will probably change since Adobe is the big software company, and I am only a single customer(Flex Builder 2 w/charting), but this position disturbs me. It reminds me of the construction industry when a contractor builds or remodels myhouse. I have paid for the work and I find problems but the contractor is off working on another house and doesn't have the time or resources to fix the problems in a timely manner. To be honest,I could care less about a Mac version . . . . AND I know those wanting a Mac version could care less about a Windows version. So please no bashing from the Mac side. It appears that Adobe has not allocated enough resources to the development team where they can have 2 groups. As I recall, it was said on this forum, soon afterFlex 2 was released the development team received new Macs to begin work on a Mac version. Why did Adobe not already have a plan and resources in place. This type of thing is done all the time. While I do not expect that every single bug be issued a "release patch",it would be very nice and customer friendly to have a bug fix release plan in place and implement that plan. Especially in the first 6-9 months of a major release. I haven't encountered a bug that I know of. But when I do, I willprobably have spent many hours or days thinking I did notwrite the code right only to find out later is was a bug. Wasted time . . . . money. I have said this before, but I would not have a single customer if I told them I could not fix the software they purchased because I was working on another version. I really do not understand why large software companies employ this type of bug fix and update plan. I only hope Adobe will rethink their strategy and implementation of releasing bug fixes.

RE: [flexcoders] Dumb newbie question: Flash 8 vs. Flex Builder
Hello, the design center of the two products is very different. To oversimplify: If you are building "rich interactive content/media" and your background is with products like Photoshop/AfterEffects/Illustrator/Directoruse Flash authoring If you are building "rich internet applications" and your background is with things like computer science/Eclipse/VisualStudio/Java, use FlexBuilder They can be used together (with some limitations today because of the AS2/AS3 difference) using Flash authoring to create media, animation, components that you might use in the Flex application. Again, this is an oversimplification--many people span these worlds in interesting ways and I think today there are many expert Flash users who are using both.

Adobe's website won't take our corporate credit cards, so we can't order the download version. Meanwhile, I've completed an entire app in Flex Builder 2 Beta 3. It works beautifully in the Beta debug player (9.0.0.296). However, it fails utterly when run in the production version of the player (9.0.16.0). The major problems involve HTTPService requests. Some of them work fine, but most fail. Of those that fail, some return HTTP errors, but others just fail. Other problems include outlines around images that should not have outlines, and various items being drawn in the wrong place. In short, it's a complete mess. The difference between running the app in the Beta player vs. the production player is night and day. It is truly incredible. If anyone at Adobe wants to see what I mean, I'd be glad to show them.

The application is going to replace several current apps one of wich is web based the rest are not. I am trying to get my head around the whole FDS thing. Our product will be a medical database. There are currently several different modules within the existing apps. The way I was planning this, each one would become its own flex app. the reason for this is to try and keep the swf file size somewhat reasonable. Currently our thinking is to connect to the data through web services sending XML data to a JSO file that then will communicate with a JAVA based API back to the MySQL backend. What, if anythign would FDS bring to the table? Still not sure how it is better than XML based solution. Also a concern with FDS is the pricing structure. will each FDS file be considered a different app, therefore each one require a license ($6k or $20k)? If each app was assigned only one processor on the VM based server would it be able to use FDS express?? I am just not seeing how FDS figures into the equasion. Is it faster? if so how? Does it save coding time? if so how? Does it eliminate need for a java API? if so how? Thanks for any help. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Something is new at Yahoo! Groups.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How to integrate Flash and Flex well done ?
Hi, Future yes; present--requires some hoops. Background: the new Flash Player contains both the old Actionscript Virtual Machine (AVM0) the executes AS1 and AS2 and the new AVM2 that executes AS3. This allows us to have the new VM, language and performance and keep backward compatibility with existing SWFs written prior to AS3. Unfortunately, there is no real interop between the two VMs. For the most part, one has to choose AS1/2 or AS3 and not mix them. The workaround is, as written earlier in the thread is to have the two SWFs talk to each other with local connection. This works, but is not the best ieal solution. Tha said, James was right that the *future* will make it easy to create SWFs and SWCs in Flash and use them in a Flex applications. The future assume the Flash authoring tool with full support for AS3. This future version of the Flash authoring tool is code named Blaze. It is still a ways off, but we expect to have a version on labs.adobe.com as early as possible to enable this interop across Flash authoring and Flex. It will not however provide an automatic way to use earlier (AS1/2) SWF/SWCs in Flex--you will need to either port these to AS3 or use the local connection technique.

RE: [flexcoders] New to Flex and deciding...
Hello, 1. Somewhere they say that the SDK is now free but the builder ispriced and with that will be one framework license. I don't quiteunderstand what is this framework license. The Framework and compiler are free for both development and deployment.You can use them with any text editor ro develop your code. There are nohidden costs. The FlexBuilder tool, and the Charting components will be charged on a per developer seat basis. In otherwords, if you want to use them, you can buy a copy (for someamount less that $1,000) and use them to create any and all applications you want.There are no additional license fees for deploying applications.2. In the book there is reference that you can (technically) delivercompiled mxml files from your website but it will be a licenseviolation. Is it still true with 2.0? This is not true with 2.0. 3. I understand that Data Services are priced and will need licensebut if I use HTTP Service and use compiled mxml application as UI toconnect to my server "without" any Flex server component. Can I do itwithout any licensing from Macromedia? Correct. You can deliver a compiled SWF from the SDK and connect to your server without any licensed server softwarefrom Adobe/Macromedia. Bottomline. I am working on a shoestring. I need to get startedquickly with a budget of $200/yr. (which means mostly open sourceCPL/GPL software). Of course when I grow and need more commercialfeatures I will loosen my purse but I do not like any entry barriers(who does?) Does Flex2.0 licensing model accomodate people like me or not?

Flex 2 and Flex 1.* are entirely different worlds. The rules have been entirely changed and deployment now costs you nothing. The files generated from Flex 2 do not require any type of server license. From what I understand the builder will be priced. The builder being the thing you are enjoying dragging and dropping in as we speak. It's very nice and makes developing your apps a wonderful experience. However if you want to drop your prices to zero you'll still be able to create your applications (write and compile) using other text tools and the compiler(which will continue to be free). The framework - which I believe to be the components etc- will also be free- So you'll be able to use say the datagrid- you just can't drag and drop it onto your canvas for free- You can write the mxml text file by hand and still get your app to do what it needs to do. As far as the data services- They are free to a point- I haven't investigated all of the details of that yet but from what I understand you can build a fully functional application that is only limited in the number of users that can access it at one time (if I'm wrong someone please correct me). So I believe the HTTPService will be entirely free. If you are operating on a budget I think Flex will suit your needs. Based on your description the only limitation will be the amount of elbow grease you are willing to put into it(other than the data services aspect). Based on the way you come across- you're ready to grow and pay your dues- I feel as if Flex and the Flash platform overall is designed with that in mind. Hopefully i answered some of your questions and at the very least got rid of the feeling that the community is not listening- I think we are all in sprint mode right now as we try to keep up with the explosive growth of Flash as a whole.

Hi,Printing in Flash is a little pain and should be
revisited by the Flash Player team before others in the Flex team do something
else because I my opinion the problem is in the plataform and not in the
framework. Is great to have nowadays a framework like flex that saves tons of
time but when we reach printing, there's no time calculations and only
experience would help you. I experience a lot of problems sometime ago
and I assume that the problem when we try to print vectors and bitmaps borns
of the different display engines in Flash Player 8. It seems Flash Player has
a engine for vectors and other one for bitmaps so printing is affected of this
dual display nature. Hope this issue will enhanced in the future because could
be a frustration for people coming to the Flash Platform in the future

of printing in Flash in the past.
As
far back as a Flash 5 project we hit a bug in the Flash
player to do with printing nested
movieClips - after months of trying to fix it
someone from Macromedia eventually let us
know that it was a known issue
but they didn't think anyone would notice -
as far as I'm aware it's
never been fixed.
Compared to all the other features in Flash, printing always
seems to be a bit of a poor cousin
sort of implementation. Maybe with Adobe's print
heritage that will change . . . :-)

I think it is very important for RIAs to
have very flexible
printing feateres so users and devs wouldn't
have problems creating different kind of
reports.For now it is
not event possible to print bitmap
images aloing with vector graphics.
To print images you need to have them
embeded or use
printAsBitmap feature, but printAsBitmap makes all the
other things on page look nasty. It
won't work for good
reports.In Flex Beta past and
new version there was a
FlexPrintJob package it prints in bitmap format which
makes it impossible for use. And
flash.print.printJob package is
pretty hard to use, and it doesn't solve
the problem.
Flexcoders, what do you think about printing in flex?

RE: [flexcoders] Opinions sought: Flex and small developers
Hi, I guess you missed the news. :) The price model changes completely from 1.X to 2.0. The product is affordable for everyone now. The Flex Framework and compiler will be free. In other words, if you want to use your own text editor for coding, you can now build and deploy Flex applications for *FREE*. The Flex Builder tool will be less than $1000. You will be able to build and deploy Flex applications with this. You are not required to ever buy the server. You can load data into your Flex app with XML over XTTP or our XML or Binary Socket and no server is required. The Flex Data Services will have a low end limited version for Free, and will scale to more typical enterprise server pricing (eg. for small business this will scale to be expensive for larger deployments). However this is not required for the average small business application.

JSON support and additional libraries now shipping on Adobe labs...(was RE: [flexcoders] Re: JSON support?)
Hi All, FYI, this and a lot more is shipping now: This week theAdobe Developer Relations teamreleased a set of seven free ActionScript 3.0 APIs to help developers get started building Flex 2.0 applications on http://labs.adobe.com. They are located at http://labs.macromedia.com/wiki/index.php/ActionScript_3:resources:apis:libraries and you can get to them from the labs homepage. The projects are listed below, along with descriptions and links to source, docs, and zip files for each individual project. The ZIP files contain source code, documentation, and SWCs (compiled versions of the libraries). corelib The corelib project consists of several basic utilities for MD5 hashing, JSON serialization, advanced string and date parsing, and more. FlexUnit FlexUnit is a unit testing framework for Flex and ActionScript 3.0 applications. It mimics the functionality of JUnit, a Java unit testing framework, and comes with a graphical test runner. Flickr The Flickr library is an ActionScript 3.0 API for the online photo sharing application, Flickr. It provides access to the entire Flickr API. Mappr Mappr is a service and application that combines images from Flickr with geolocational information. The Mappr ActionScript 3.0 API gives you access to Mappr's geo-tagged image data. RSS and Atom libraries Use the RSS and Atom libraries to parse Atom and all versions of RSS easily. These libraries hide the differences between the formats so you can parse any type of feed without having to know what kind of feed it is. Odeo The Odeo API provides an ActionScript 3.0 interface for searching and retrieving podcasts from Odeo (http://www.odeo.com). YouTube The YouTube API provides an ActionScript 3.0 interface to search videos from YouTube (http://www.youtube.com).

RE: [flexcoders] Benefits of Flash Security Model and crossdomain.xml
Hi, It has nothing to do with license validation. Others have answered this question numerous time on this list, but this is the first I have heard anyone think it has to do with license enforcement. It would be a gaping security hole to not do this. _David From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anatole TartakovskySent: Monday, February 13, 2006 9:37 PMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: Re: [flexcoders] Benefits of Flash Security Model and crossdomain.xml IMHO. it does not serve security purposes - the only thing it can be used for is license validation. Let us say you want to wrap access to yahoo financial services that has limits on number of free requests per IP address per day. The only way you bypass crossdomain.xml is by proxing all the requests through your server as the only way to get the data. That in turn inforces usual industry licensing requirements - enabling real data provider identify your server. I think the documentation has to clearly identify crossdomain as not security, but license enforcement feature - or be changed to give control to the client application rather then server. Thank you, Anatole Tartakovsky PS: DOS attack protection is unlikely as Flash 1.5uses the same amount of connections that are allowed by the browser to AJAX (2 by default) and can not be a threat as it offer less control to the offender then usual HTTPRequest in mxml (Microsoft XML) parser. - Original Message - From: Eric Raymond To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 9:11 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Benefits of Flash Security Model and crossdomain.xml I must be missing something, but I'm a bit confused as to the designof the Flash Security Model and crossdomain.xml.My main question is who is this model intended to protect?As I undestand it, this protects third party servers from disclosingtheir "data" to flash clients. That is, if you do not have a crossdomain file on a third party server, a flash program cannot access thedata. But, any other program (e.g. ,a web browser, socket program,etc) could easily access this data. It's up to the client to recuseitself (and only flash clients recuse themselves). It would seem fora server to protect itself, it would have to enforce the protection,not the client.My expectation was that this was more like a Java sandbox whichprevented a program from accessing other sites for the protection ofthe client, not the server. In such a scheme one might expect thecrossdomain.xml file to be controlled by the server which served theflash application (not the 3rd party server) ... a chain of trust. If it's controlled by the 3rd party, then there's not a huge amount ofprotection.So I can't see any benefit of letting the thrid party server be incontrol of this file. If the crossdmain.xml file is to protect theserver, then it misses the case where non-flash clients can access theserver. If it is to protect the client from a malicious thrid party,the third party can simply add a crossdomain.xml file to their site.Perhaps this is to avoid DOS'ing a third party site from a flash app,but attempting to grab the crossdomain.xml file could be a form ofattack (although arguably less intensive).So what am I missing here?Perhaps there are use cases that I don't see that this model affordsprotection either to the client or the server. -- 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!

a) You don't need OpenAMF if you are using Flex 1.5.
Flex 1.5 comes with AMF (Remoting) fully integrated.
b) The Trial version reverts to an IP limited developer

fine.
c) Pricing:
* If you go into production with Flex 1.5 vs 2.0 there are
some differences in the options you have.
* It sounds like you want to embed Flex into an application
that you are selling to multiple customers--eg into a software product. If
so, we have ISV pricing for embedding Flex that is custom based on what you are
doing.
* If you are building a custom application, Flex 1.5 is
based on per CPU pricing, for the CPUs on which the application is
running.
* I can connect you with a sales rep who can help you
figure out what it might cost if you ping me offline (and ideally provide a
little more context.)
* Lastly, if you are planning to ship say, in the 2nd half
of this calander year, it *may* be in your interest to ultimately build with
Flex 2. There are many advantages to the Flex 2 product line, but since it
isn't shipping yet you need to evaluate it in the context of your delivery
schedule. If you build with Flex 2.0, the tool and framework will be sold
on a per developer seat basis, for under $1000. There are no runtime
charges at all in this case. The server (Flex Enterprise Services)
includes both RPC services and Data Services, and a messaging backbone,
depending on your needs it may be very valuable for your application or it may
not. If you do use it, it will be sold both on an embedded basis and on a
per CPU basis as above. Again, I can connect you to a sales rep if you would
like more information.
Hope this helps,

That's very informative. I'll be trying it soon.I did
install Tomcat and Flex 1.5 in the way that you suggested and confirmed that
it was running properly with the samples. I've also looked through some
of the 1.5 examples and found it encouraging. I have part of my app that
I initially built in 2.0 under Eclipse which I need to move back into the 1.5
environment.I'm finding the OpenAMF stuff a bit confusing. I've
been studying http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000186.cfm
and hope that it is relevant. I'm wondering if I have to read up on
Flash, but perhaps not.So what I'm going to attempt next is to Flex to
download the initial colors from the server using OpenAMF, add some
rudimentary controls to the Flex page to change the colors and another button
to write them back to the server. If I can get that to work today, I
will think that Flex 1.5 will most likely get me through this demo.I'm
still wondering whether I will run up against trial deadline limits on the
demo products I am using that will get. I also have to figure out what
to tell the potential investors about how much the use of Flex will add to the
cost of the production product. Thanks for your help,Bruce

Dude, that is so easy. You
just:
- import each graphic into Flash
- give it an instance name
- modify the code I posted to do:
var c:Color = new
Color(targetState);
c.setRGB(0xFF);
That'll set it red, and ONLY it. If you
have the graphic as a PNG or GIF (transparency intact), it'll color just the
shape with nice edges.
You could do the same in Flex as well, just
embed the images:
[Embed(source="maine.png")]
var main_png:String;
mx:Image id="main_png_img"
source="{main_png}" /
And set the color the same way:
var c:Color = new
Color(main_png_img);
c.setRGB(0xFF);
Flash, Flex... either one. Additionally,
Bline Express created a pretty phat USA Map component with all 50
states. Methods already exist in it to set colors, know which state
you clicked on, etc. It's written for Flash 6, but you could easily
load that into a Flex Loader, and use proxy functions to call the Flash 6
methods in the externally loaded SWF.
Bring it.

I cant wait for flex beta 2. I am having a huge blast with flex
alpha1 right now. As for now, I have three projects that I am
working on. Project 1: Broker Firm BackOffice Demo tool. Developed to
include allaspects of our current coldfusion site. File tracking, file
additions,file management. Another cool feature that I have added to the
flexversion is a paperless transaction system that will incorporate
thenewly added barcodes to all arizona realestate documents.
Project 2: Is an open source cf/flex Tournament/Stat tracking
system.This is still in the early stages of alpha, but it is shaping up
quitenicely. So far I have included a dynamic 8, 16 and 32 man
tournamentbracket system. This will be open source, and when I feel that I
havehit a beta stage, I will post it up on source forge.Project 3:
MLS Display system. This is another system that is built oncf/flex. Long
gone are the days of the slow mls searches. Users willbe able to search
the MLS system of most states from one central area.This is another of my
demo sites that I am looking to compelte by midmarch and have up for
people to play with.Now for my complaits. A few things that I would
like to see betterimplemented. I know I am not the one one who feels that
the live docsfor flex are a little cumbersome. I would like to see
something alongthe lines of CF's livedocs imlemented. As for the
rich text editor, this is seemed like a good idea while Iwas playing with
it, but after a few different failed attempets ofimplementation, I think
the RTE needs to be looked at better. I forone would like to see something
like fkeditor or soemthing similar forflex.Other then those grips,
flex is a great tool.--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "David
