Re: [flexcoders] Should I buy Lynda.com Flex 3 essential training to learn Flex?

[Kevin Mulvihill]

I am a member of lynda.com and have also seen the Total Training Flex
training. Of the two, I preferred the Total Training product, but neither is
for REAL beginners. Lynda does have a Flash title on programming that¹s put
together for designers. That¹s a good starting place because Flash uses
Actionscript just like Flex.

There¹s also www.freeflextraining.com. You might try there first, since it¹s
free, and see how much of it you understand.

Good luck!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Full flex site or not

[Kevin Mulvihill]

I like the codeoscopic site and especially the transitions from section to
section. Would you mind sharing some insights on how you put that together?
General approach, that kind of stuff. Animations from one section to another
are also very smooth. Nice work.

Thanks,
Kevin

Re: [flexcoders] Month-calendar control (with MATE test-app and Degrafa skins)

[Kevin Mulvihill]

I agree ­ nice work.

A couple of usability suggestions:

1) Users often check after clicking a link or a button to see if they went
where they expected. We can help them by matching page titles with the links
or, in this case, matching the window title (³New Event²) with the button
text (³Add Event²). I prefer ³Add Event² since it¹s not a new event until
the user clicks Submit.
2) Which reminds me... Submit is a less-used term. Most users are more
familiar with the usual ³OK² instead.
3) Would be nice if you could take the task name/description and populate it
in the task bars on the screen. This would allow users to see which tasks go
with which bars.

All that said, I still think it¹s nice work. Congrats!

Would have been great if those 4 simple words had helped. But I tried it
twice and the problems still exist.

If it makes any difference, I am using the internal ASP.NET server for
testing. Later there will be some ASP code to access a database...

[flexcoders] Components don't display properly after unrelated coding

[Kevin Mulvihill]

Hi all,

I'm working on an online training project and am using a panel to host an
accordian. Each child area in the accordian contains a tree that I populate
with XML data. The panel serves as a navigation menu.

After I added all the components to the panel and then the code to make it
work, I noticed that the panel no longer looks like it's default two tone
layout. Instead, it's all one color: white. I added some mxml attributes to
round the corners and set alpha, but none of these have any effect. I
changed to a TitleWindow component so the menu would be movable and it was
movable for awhile. When I added code to control visibility of this
navigation menu (it's visibility is toggled on and off via a Menu button),
the component stopped being movable and is now stuck in one location.

Ordinarily, I'd just say these are buggy components. Why would adding code
to control visibility affect whether or not I can move it around the screen?
But I don't see any posts on this list about these kinds of obvious bugs, so
there must be something I am doing wrong. I'm using Flex Builder 3
standalone and I've added the XML Buddy plugin. I'm testing in IE7 because
that's what the client uses.

If you want to see this really ugly TitleWindow component, it's at
http://www.suddeninsight.net/WFTW/ ... click the Menu button at the bottom
left to see the abomination. I'd be willing to make the source code
available if someone wanted to look at it too.

But I sure do need some help here. I hope one or more of you have seen these
kinds of problems and know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance!

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Am I using States correctly?

[Kevin Mulvihill]

You're probably tired already of hearing from me on this 
but... I am back with another response. :-)
 
- Since viewstack requires a navigator to function, the 
implication of using a viewstack is that a navigator would be required. So, if 
it made sense to have two "menu options" pointing to master and detail, then 
this is one way to go. If, on the other hand, it makes more sense to only show 
the detail after the master has been selected, then this method is less 
attractive IMHO.
- You can also use view states if you want separate UI for 
master and detail. You could still put the Master UI in the base state, build 
the Detail off of the base state, and then just delete what's there and 
completely rebuild the Detail interface... if you wanted to eliminate the blank 
base state.
 
In either case, it's your choice...

RE: [flexcoders] Am I using States correctly?

[Kevin Mulvihill]

Here's what I'm getting from all the manual reading I've 
been doing over the past week. Others may correct me or clarify as 
needed.
 
- Think of the base state as the "home page"... it's the 
initial state of the app or component when the user browses to it. I can't think 
of a good reason why it would ever be empty unless you wanted to implement some 
kind of transition or effect immediately upon loading it.
- In the larger sense of UI design, HTML "pages" are 
addressed in the Flex metaphor with ViewStacks attached to a navigator. Use this 
for macro changes in the interface.
- View states are used to display incremental changes in 
state. Sounds like you are using that correctly insofar as you describe it... 
however, depending on how your user interface is designed and what you're trying 
to accomplish, the "Detail" state you describe could also be just an incremental 
change to the "Master" state with the Master state remaining visible. Also, the 
"Master" state could be your base state since it's empty and that's the first 
thing the user sees.
 
Also, and more generally, don't forget that Flex 
development is based on components. So it may be appropriate to shelter 
your calendar "module" in a component if you haven't already done 
so...

[flexcoders] Which PHP Plugin for Flex IDE?

[flexcoders] Plugins to Standalone Flex

Hi 
all,
 
I've

Eclipse plugs into it (like PHP). I'm wondering what kinds of limitations might 
exist if I do this... or is it better to just install the Flex plug into the 
full Eclipse version? Recommendations?

RE: [flexcoders] Are there any good flash fonts that will work well in flex

mini-7 is a font. you can find it at myfonts.com. uni 05_53

If you are looking for small fonts, yeah man, 
I'd stick with bitmap fonts, like mini-7; he's pretty cool, or uni

I have experimented extensively with fonts in flash 8 and in 
flex and while they look better than flash 7, there is nothing like pixel 
fonts for interface. Of course also probably a lot is dependent on the 
specific true type font. I would imagine that some work better than others, 
but I am not satisfied with what I have been seeing, hence the desire for 
some crispness. By the way, I dont think advanced anit-alias works on device 
fonts, only embedded. But thanks for the font references. Have you

  One of the key things to defining an apps look and feel is 
  fonts. But I find that truetype fonts just dont come out looking as good

RE: [flexcoders] Best $$$ Price on Flex? (The Scoop)

[Kevin Mulvihill]

Actually, it turns out David is correct, exactly as 
stated.
 
From the Education Purchasing FAQ at http://www.adobe.com/education/purchasing/faq.html:
 
"Good news! You can use Adobe Education software (any 
title!) to produce commercial/professional paid-for work when you leave school, 
or even while you are in school. In this regard, Adobe does not limit how 
student software is used. So students can use it to learn and to make 
money!
(Of course, students must agree to the 
terms of the End User Licensing Agreement — which appears during installation — 
just as every software customer must do.)"
Regarding my other question about limitations on the educational 
products, the same FAQ says:
"The 
Education and retail versions are virtually identical — we do not modify the 
software itself. To differentiate the product offering between education and 
retail, we may remove some clip art, some fonts, or other non-application 
resources. So really, the only difference is price. Student customers can be 
assured that this as an opportunity to get the “full version” without paying the 
“full price”."
Just to 
be thorough, the FAQ goes on to say that:
"You are 
able to continue to use your Education version serial number when you leave 
school to upgrade to future commercially priced versions if you want to, rather 
than having to buy the next “full” version. So you save money now while you are 
a student, and also after you graduate!"
In 
short, this is an extremely cool program Adobe has. I salute them for it! If the 
goal really is to get a million folks using Flex, then the pricing for the 
educational Flex version will go a long way toward bringing new Flex advocates 
into the fold. I'm pretty darn impressed.
Thanks 
to all of you for your comments, but especially to Greg Hamer, who initially 
broached the idea of academic licenses...
Kevin

  Hello,
   
  I have not reviewed the EULA recently and so others could 
  comment in more detail, but Shannon is correct below.
   
  There are no functional limits on the product, however 
  you must have a valid education ID to purchase and use it in that 
  context.  You can purchase an educational license and then use it 
  commercially.
   
  Regards,David

The traditional limitations are that you must be in 
education, and you must only use it for educational purposes. I.E. if you 
want to release an application that you got paid to build, you need to buy 
the full version.

Are there any limitations on academic licenses, like 
limited functionality or ugly splash screens? Just so happens I'm taking 
some courses this summer... thanks.

  Academic licenses for Flex 2 
  w/Components are $79.  Of course you have to be a student, teacher, 
  professor, etc.  One source here:
  www.academicsuperstore.com/market/marketdisp.html?PartNo=760814For standard licenses, it looks like 
  CDW.com has discounted down to $593.99.  Link here:http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=1012357Anyone 
  know of other resellers offering better or similar standard license 
  discounts?

[flexcoders] Flex and Server-Side Technology Recommendations

[Kevin Mulvihill]

Hi 
all,
 
What do you all 
recommend for backend server-side technology to work with Flex? I'm planning on 
some work with MySQL and not particularly interested in 
.NET.
 
I know there's FDS 
but it's too pricey to own for small budget projects. Has anyone researched web 
hosts who offer FDS 2 on their servers and know what their hosting charges are 
for such access? Any recommendations would be great. I'm not seeing much through 
Google.
 
I'm thinking more 
along the lines of Ruby on Rails just because I've heard it's a very productive 
environment to work in. I confess I don't yet know too much about it though. Any 
comments on how this technology might work with Flex?
 

How does Cairngorm 
fit into the data access picture? Just a set of best practices or a full-on 
framework like Rails?
 
Any comments on these issues would be 
greatly appreciated! Thanks all!
 
Kevin

RE: [flexcoders] Flex 2.0 Breeze Preso by Jesse Warden 4/26/2006

[Kevin Mulvihill]

Oh, how I tried to geek out with you...
 
Nice thought, John. Wish I could have been there. But since 
no ID/password was provided, I'm just sitting at the front door, waiting, 
waiting, waiting... patiently... to get in to the meeting, while the 
following message displays on my screen: "This is a private meeting. Your 
request to enter has been sent to the presenter. Please wait for a response." 
So, I'm guessing that the request went to Jesse, who's quite busy presenting, 
and that he'll probably have a chance to see and respond to it... when... when 
he's done? 
 
Forgive my cynicism. It's been a long day and I haven't had 
enough sleep. Would have been nice to get in. If you could actually help us to 
do so in the future that would be great.
 
Kevin
 
 
Not 
  sure if this is considered spam but figured I'd post it anyway and get blasted 
  later, if it is spam. :-)From gotoAndStop.org:"Come 
  see what all the hype surrounding Flex 2.0 is about. Jesse will cover the new 
  Actionscript 3.0, mxml, and other Flex sweetness. This is an exciting time for 
  web junkies. Come geek out with us!"Come geek out with us a 
  bit on 
Breeze.
