[flexcoders] OT: Flex Consultants
Sorry if this is OT, but since a number of the members of this group are Flex consultants, I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best way to secure the services of one. We're building a fairly large flex app, and find ourselves a bit over our heads, and would like to pay someone to help guide us and answer questions - possibly to do some work as well. Is there a popular site for such a request, or another avenue to pursue this kind of arrangement? How are you normally contacted for work?
Re: [flexcoders] Flex Remoting
Giles, This should help you out a little. http://www.frenches.com/blog/index.cfm/2007/5/7/Flex-Coldfusion--Dont-make-me-have-to-separate-you-two On 9/14/07, Giles Roadnight [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Guys I've started looking into Flex Remoting again. I looked into this a while ago but didn't get very far. I gave up when I realised that the production server here CF 7.1 so Flex Remoting wouldn't work anyway. I'm now pretty confident that I'll be able to updrage production to CF 7.2 so now I want to get my flex remoting working. I know the basics of how it's supposed to work, you create a new project and point it at the web-inf/flex directory and it builds an xml file for you. I've got 2 problems with that. For a start I already have a large project built and don't really want to re-start the project just to get the wizard at the start to set up the xml for me. Is there any way of converting an existing non-CF remoting project into a CF remoting one? My second problem is that I only have FTP access to the dev box where CF runs so I can't point flex at the web-inf/flex directory. How do I get round this? I hope someone can help. Thanks Giles.
Re: [flexcoders] Variable instances behavior in Actionscript
Another good way to think of it is that a reference to an object is actually an integer that holds the object's address in memory. You'll see this in the debugger as @3342fe334, etc. So when you copy 'a' into 'b' a la 'b=a;', you're making a copy of the address - not the object. So when you later say 'b = null;', it doesn't affect 'a' at all, because 'a' still holds the address to the object. You've probably heard of the garbage collector. This special process is basically running all the time and goes through all the objects and looks to see if any variables hold their address, and if not, delete the object. But as long as some variable has that address, the object still exists. So for example: a = new Book(); b = a; a = null; c = b; b = null; The same object exists all the way through.

How does a object instance behave in Actionscript? Say if I have this: var a:Book = new Book(); var b:Book = a; var c:Book = b; So does c actually point to the instance that a and b is pointing to or is it pointing to b? And if I do this: c = null; Does a and b get nulled too or does it act more like a pointer where it means c is now pointing to null, a and b still points to the object instance? Thanks!
Re: [flexcoders] Getting ColdFusion 7 or 8 to work on Vista?
http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=224AA This was the first entry on a google search for coldfusion vista As far as I know, CF8 installs just fine. I installed 7.02 on 64-bit Vista using the instructions above. It's a bit of a pain, but it works. On 9/5/07, Mike Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All, I was wondering if there is any magic, getting ColdFusion 7 or 8 to install correctly on Windows Vista. I am running the 64-bit version, but I don't know if that would affect things or not. The application itself installs just fine, but whenever I try to run the WebServer Connector utility, it doesn't even recognize any IIS Websites being available. With that said, I thought I'd try to install the jrun.dll references manually, but the Vista version of IIS is a TOTALLY new animal, and am not sure where I need to go to make the file extension references (.cfm, .cfc, etc.) Thanks in advance for any information you can throw my way.
