The best way to test a wedge driver is with a Text Editor. Open NotePad Set the focus into Notepad Swipe a Card, Scan a barcode, Read an RFID. If the wedge driver is working, the reader should rapidly type a long string of characters into notepad. The string has a set of delimiters that correspond to encoding. It is very easy to parse these values into something meaningful with just String.split. It is typical for most input devices to ship with a wedge driver. This provides the simplest integration as each of these devices can be viewed as just a very fast keyboard. http://www.google.com/search?q=keyboard+wedge+driver http://www.programbl.com/ Plus the free ones that ship with the devices!

RE: [flexcoders] What I wish Flex/Flash Player could do...
Thanks for the
ideas!
I've done similar things in
the past - but specific "listeners" for various attached input devices would be
a cleaner way to go, particularly when there are multiple input fields on a form
that can accept remote or direct input. There are hacks that can be done
with "prefix" and "suffix" codes to help identify input source, but they're
messy. And the focus management can be even more painful :(.
Good ideas though!

Flash can handle these
via a standard MS Keyboard Wedge Driver. We shipped a kiosk with a card reader
and the Flash Player can directly parse data entered. Basically all these
devices can be reduced to keyboard input so when you swipe a card or scan a
barcode, it just types data really fast.
Actually I believe I
have an example that does just this very thing
Just put 3 V2 TextInput
controls on stage and name the instances: ti_name, ti_card, ti_date and use this
code:
Key.addListener(this)
function
onKeyDown(){
var self = arguments.callee
var k = String.fromCharCode(Key.getAscii())
if(self.storage == undefined) self.storage=
self.storage = self.storage + k
if(self.storage.split("?").length == 3 ){
var sname =
self.storage.split("^")[1]
var scardbase =
self.storage.split("?;")[1].split("?")[0].split("=")
ti_name.text = sname
ti_card.text = scardbase[0]
ti_date.text =
scardbase[1]
self.storage =
""
}
}
This will parse the
values from a standard 3 phase credit card reader. In the kiosk that used this
we tested cards from starbucks, visa, amex, subway and all worked perfectly.
When each type of device, you just need to know what to look for in parsing the
data received.
One less thing for
Ethan :)

RE: [flexcoders] Hope all is watching the Avalon space..
Then, I think the price of Flex will go down... :) Just realize the Flex will ultimately support a much broader range of both back-end OS's/app servers and front end devices/platforms than Avalon will. There will be a significant amount of development using Avalon-based technologies for behind-the-firewall applications, for sure. Flex is a different beast, though. I also wouldn't be at all surprised to see a Flex client based on the Java plug-in someday.

RE: [flexcoders] Hope all is watching the Avalon space..
Hi, Aldo! I would certainly view Flex as more than a browser built in Flash it is server-side generated Flash. Quite a different architecture, of course Also, I wouldnt say that Flex deals with enterprise development workflow, per se. Just a piece of the puzzle. While Flash is the important piece, Flash player makes MM very little direct money. Dont discount Flex and its future companions (app builders, other back end information delivery products, etc.) as insignificant. They are very significant! Having just been acquired by SAP, Im currently involved in conceptualizing solutions for the manufacturing vertical to deliver on exactly what you described below: Perhaps an integrated presentation ( flex ) + presence + BPM + ESB + collab + management...? I totally share that vision and think were getting really closestay tuned!

Hi guys, I believe you are missing the macro perspective here. Don't give Flex that much importance in the long term. After all it is just a browser built into Flash, with a set of tools to allow an enterprise development workflow. It won't be long till an opensource alternative pops up... it's just a matter of time till the osflash community develops the pieces and someone puts them together. No rocket science. Moreover, anyone with enough money to get Flex is, most of the times, developing for an intranet where there is full control over the client runtime and they would happily switch to a less expensive alternative, or to one that fits nicer into the workflow, even if they have to give up some eye candy or functionality. Eventually Avalon and other techs will be better practical alternatives for an important majority. The important piece here is the Flash player and it's impressive features, all bundled into one tiny download: - ubiquity ( 9_% ) - consistency across platforms ( including mobile ) - rich scripting language ( AS2 + E4X = reuse, best practices, productivity++ ) - multimedia - streaming, web presence ( flash comm ) I believe it is the sum of these that will be hard to beat... this is MM's strong card. Don't take me wrong, I believe Flex is a wonderful tech, and I enjoy developing with it and having my customers praise me for free... a paradigm shifter. But let's not loose objectivity. It's like talking about Swing, when the important piece is the JVM. So, Flex is happening today... helping Flash gain some respect in the enterprise arena ( and MM make tons of money ), but old good Flash will eventually live on, on it's own, and will evolve as requirements grow. Unless MM pulls some licence trickery that changes the landscape in the short term, of course. Who knows. OTOH, I believe MM has done marvels with in making Flex hard to beat, and I hope some more power come out of merging flex with the rest of the family. Perhaps an integrated presentation ( flex ) + presence + BMP + ESB + collab + management...? The flash player can get that far, no doubt about it. BTW, I was attending a Best of SAP world tour conference the other day, going over some new netweaver features, and I thought... What if these guys had built all the presentation capabilities of netweaver with flash from the beginning! They would have the ultimate platform from head to toes, from desktop to mobile, with very little tradeoffs. The important thing to understand here is that the SOA trend is quickly pushing more and more functonality to layers that are strongly related to presentation: collab, presence, information pushing, drag and relate, high level BUS entry points, etc. Thus a robust solution on this end would enhance any platform dramatically ( this wasn't true some time ago ). Online presence, streaming and collab are just too real and too powerful to overlook nowadays. The same goes for Bea, oracle, etc. Team up, Macromedia! well, that was a getting too OT. Back to work.

Tony - what version of WAS are you running

[flexcoders] Flex Bug - Fills Bleed?
Seems that the fillRect object (and, in general, certain fills drawn onto a UI object) will not fill properly (e.g. they bleed). An example below (called inside a custom renderer) should draw a small red flag: var left = 10; var top = 10; var flagSize = 6; target.lineStyle(2, 0xFF, 100); target.moveTo( left, top ); target.lineTo( left, top - flagSize); target.fillRect(left, top - (flagSize * 2), left + flagSize, top - flagSize, 0xFF, 100); The net result is not as desired, as the flag bleeds all the way to the right side of the UIObject. Known issue? Workarounds available?

[flexcoders] Custom BoxRenderer Question
Were trying to implement a custom BoxRenderer (actually, wed like to build on the CircleRenderer if we had the source to it). Heres the tough part: The chart uses databinding on each series. Wed like to give the renderer access to other values in the dataset (e.g. the position of the point depends on the value of X and the color or other visual attribute of the point depends an algorithm based on the values of Y and Z. Any thoughts as to how to implement? Better to do a custom Chart Series that extends PlotSeries? Is this doable?

RE: [flexcoders] Flex, Remoting and more
The danger of persistent connections is one of scaleabilityand of trying to manage a reliable protocol across those connections (as opposed to the relative simplicity of a request/response protocol). A hybrid that weve used is a server-based collector (listener) and clients that ping (a euphemism for lightweight polling) to see if theres something for them to do. The other advantage of polling is pacing you can manage the rate at which events/messages get exchanged even when bursts of events occur.

Thats seems to cover the needs for developing chat-like applications... Now, imagine I have an external Notification server (yukon notification server, or whatever) And I want FCS to listen *persistently* to this server. With FCS and Remoting I know how to POLL a database 1 time or every 10 seconds and format that answer to feed the FCS but HOW can I create a persistent link to a notification server,socket server or similar, get the data this server is pushing, format this data and pass it to the FCS? So basically, I want to know how to replace POLLING with PERSISTENT LISTENING. Example application: A Flex application that shows the queue of a call center. When a new call arrives, it is shown in every client running the application. And it is the call center notification server that tells the FCS it has received the new call and NOT the FCS that polls the queue of the notification server to see if there is any new call pending.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex, C# Web Services, and Dates
The -MM-DDTHH:MM:SS format is from .NETs
default XML serializer, which uses something like an ISO date format (.NETs
format string s). When you dump it on the server side, it is probably just
using the objects ToString() method, which seems like it chose a different
format. One question, I guess, is what schema data type the WSDL is telling
Flex to expect. Second question (to the Macromedia crew) is how Flex handles
deserialization depending on what that schema data type is.

is Invalid Date. When I look at the object that was created

as you can see, it doesn't even have the proper value in it. I've created

RE: [flexcoders] Flex, C# Web Services, and Dates
If you dont need HH:MM:SS
resolution, try this for a test:
Generate your WSDL, and save it to a
file. Tweak the WSDL to use xsd:date instead of xsd:dateTime, point your
Flex app to the modified WSDL, and see if that addresses the issue. There
are lots of posts I found on Google regarding .NETs dateTime
serialization woesand it seems to, by default, serialize in varying
formats depending on resolution and time zone. To be fair, the formats it
is generating should be properly parsed/processed on the Flex side based on the
following:
Also, I experimented a bit with the DateFormatter
objects parseDateString method and it worked properly on all of the
formats you generated
mx:Script
![CDATA[
function
parseDateString(str:String):Date
{
return
DateFormatter.parseDateString(str);
}
function
doTest() {
alert(dateFmt.format(parseDateString(2005-06-01T00:00:00)));
alert(dateFmt.format(parseDateString(2005-06-27T18:40:41.390625-07:00)));
alert(dateFmt.format(parseDateString(2005-05-31T17:00:00-07:00)));
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:DateFormatter
id=dateFmt formatString={'M/D/Y' + newline + 'JJ:NN:SS'}
/
Seems like theres a disconnect
somewhere inside of the deserialization in Flex, but I cant be certain. Sounds
like it is worth creating a bug report.

well, the WSDL says:
s:element minOccurs=1 maxOccurs=
1 name=StartDate type=s:dateTime /
Because I am close to pulling all my hair out on this one, I
decided to try something on the server end. In the web method, I hard
coded the StartDate propery to return DateTime.Now. To my surpise, this
actually worked. I then tried hardcoding it to return new DateTime(2005,
6, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0). This produced the original error. It seems like
things are a little wierd on both ends. Depending on the date value on
the server end, the server is actually sending the XML formatted
differently. I am more confused now than ever. Does any one here
have any experience using C# Web Services with Flex using the C# DateTime
type? I would be interested in some best practices type guidlines.
However the DateTime.Now value is delt with, it works, but any other date value
I create doesn't work. It's quite confusing...

From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com on behalf of Sean McKibben Sent: Tue 6/14/2005 3:34 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Design flaw in DataGrid sorting I have to call the data grid's sorting mechanism flawed. Let's examine a case where you want to sort a dataGrid by a date column. In all likelihood, you're going to have a labelFunction to format your date objects into a string. Depending on your locale, that string is probably not what you want to sort on (i.e. 02/04/05 comes before 02/03/06 on the calendar, but not as a string), so you'd like to write a sortCompare function for that column. Unfortunately, the sortCompare function only receives the string value from the labelFunction, so you'd either have to do some very slow string parsing, or sort based on the results from the labelFunction alone. You don't get a chance to compare any more information about a row than the string returned by a labelFunction, and the labelFunction can only return a string. Not a good way to do it, Macromedia! So, what is the best workaround? Let it sort once, then resort using the headerRelease event and operating on the DataProvider? (assuming headerRelease fires after sorting is done - contrary to the documentation, but in line with Ailstair McLeod's tests) Sean Yahoo!

Looks like the Flex web app is using CPU (doing something?) on about a 1-2 second interval (some type of license check?) that consumes about 4% of the CPU on average.

Of course, people could still use the servlet to retrieve the FLV, but its less of a risk (security through obscurity). If this is a problem, you could create some sort of session token, created by the server and passed back to the client, which must then be passed to the servlet to validate.

RE: [flexcoders] RE: Flex futures...
SVG helps with an elegant technique for addressible vector graphics. As opposed to explicitly calling methods to draw circles, squares, lines, etc...it provides an declarative, XML-based mechanism for doing so. Also, since the XML elements are addressible, by manipulating the XML (appearance attributes, for example), you can dynamically control the visual appearance. It would be nice if this functionality was SVG-based, since there are dozens of mainstream drawing tools that can save as SVG. Hope that helps.

Since the requests are totally dynamic, streaming = optimal approach,

Well, you can always run MXMLC itself, because it's a Java program. The
mxmlc command is roughly equivalent to java -jar
${FLEX_HOME}/lib/mxmlc.jar [args].
I note that running MXMLC is not exactly the same as the MXML
generation, because you have to pass in some args that pertain to the
runtime environment, in particular the AMF gateway URL. It is also
slower because it doesn't do incremental compilation.
You could also probably accomplish the same thing by simply generating
an HTTP request for an .mxml file that you dynamically generate in the
doc root.
