Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex alternatives
Hi I have been working with Flex and related technologies for last 7 -10 yrs. Recently, in my project I came across this technology http://eclipse.org/rap/ and it converts all your SWT Java components into Qooxdoo Javascript which finally runs on the browser. But here everything is Java. No action script. This is also browser independent and it also works well on mobile devices. It is becoming more and more popular nowdays. Everything displayed is widget and everything is on the server side behind the scenes it uses Ajax.

I remember in the 90's there was IE and Netscape... then came Opera... and then Gekko/Firefox replaced Netscape... now, there is Chrome. There are so many browsers, because each one of then thinks that he is the best for some kind of need of the user. that means: each one of then implements things as pleases then. the beautiful of the FP is that you (theoretical) don´t need to concern about browsers. I work with flash since 99 and that is true until now, even with iPad discussion (air rules!). Tell me one technology that accomplished that for 10 years. regards!

But, since we can't count on that lasting, and even Adobe is telling developers to plan on moving to HTML5, it seems like they're pushing us back into x-browser hell. I didn't want to go there, which is why we chose ZKoss. Yes, there is still going to be HTML/JS/CSS ultimately used, but it's how much. Even Flex SWFs are wrapped in HTML and JS when deployed. So, it's not that I'm against using any amount of HTML/JS; it's how little can I get away with to avoid these issues. Even with HTML5 libraries, such as the much touted jQuery, is, to a large degree, an insulator against x-browser issues. If you read the actual jQuery code, it deals with those issues for you. Now, ZK has a ZK Client JS library, which includes jQuery, that is designed to be a communicator mechanism between the client and the bulk of app logic that resides on the server. So, your normal editing and data manipulation that you might write in JS in a full blown HTML5 app is actually stored as Java on the server, and executed as needed per the EDA (event driven architecture). This type of JS is typically what breaks the page on different browsers and versions thereof. By limiting the amount of client-side JS, as does a jQuery type library, yes, you have some exposure to potential x-browser issues, but not as much as a HTML5 app that does everything on the client. And, when there are issues, they can be resolved in the ZK Client library as a patch/fix. So, now it seems to me that developers have several choices. Stick with Flex and you won't break the browser; you just won't be able to have your app viewed by millions on iOS products. If that seems like a better solution that minimal exposure to x-browser issues by using ZK or some other technology, well, that's certainly a choice each company has to make. Ron --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, valdhor valdhorlists@ wrote: On a side note, I like the look of ZKoss. I don't know if there are cross browser issues with it seeing as we use older versions of browsers. One of the great features of Flex is we don't have to bother coding for compatibility between different browsers and versions. When IT deployed IE7, Flex applications worked just as they had before. Anyway, just my 2c from the enterprise perspective.

It doesn't work like that. You're going to need to create your own

to set the LinkButton's text as the label from your data Object.
Code like this, basically, exists in the default itemRenderer.

Isn't a bug, Not a Bug the problem is the way of your code implementation
works. The PopUpManager doesn't work to cast itself. Due to the dependecy of
IFlexDisplayObject.
Instead of current code example.
NOT Right way
//action1
if (myPopUp == null) {
myPopUp = PopUpManager. createPopUp( this, MyMxmlComponent, false) as
MyMxmlComponent;
} else {
PopUpManager. addPopUp( myPopUp, this, false);
}
//action1
if (!myPopUp.isPopUp) {
myPopUp = PopUpManager. createPopUp( this, MyMxmlComponent, false) as
MyMxmlComponent;
} else {
PopUpManager. addPopUp( myPopUp, this, false);
}
Remove you should do like
PopUpManager. removePopUp( e.currentTarget. document as IFlexDisplayObject) ;

Re: [flexcoders] Cast XMLList with 1 child to XML
Hi I think it is better to use XMLList.length(). IF you one child it will be 1. Hope this helps. Thanks ilikeflex - Original Message From: Sergey Kovalyov [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, July 14, 2008 1:50:26 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Cast XMLList with 1 child to XML Hi All! Is it correct to cast XMLList with 1 child to XML like this: var myXMLList : XMLList = sourceXML..item. (@id == 1); // It is guaranteed that only one node with name == item and attribute id == 1 exists in sourceXML. var myXML : XML = XML(myXMLList) ; Actually it works and it fails only when I change the sourceXML thus there are more then one node with name == item and attribute id == 1 in it. In this case exception is thrown. But I would like to know is it correct approach in general or not. Sergey.
