[flexcoders] Re: How do we implement pop-up input in Flex?
Lets say you have two files; base.mxml, and popup.mxml.
You can achieve this using Events. basically you write a function in
your base.mxml, which is then called when you want to divert
attention to base.mxml file from popup.xml
In your popup.mxml, you do the following:
1) Register the Event like this:
[Event(name="eventListener_UpdateAvailability", type="Event")]
2) Write a function in popup.mxml, which you can call on any button
action, or whatever your case maybe:
private function signalUpdate():void {
// create an event to send out to tell the parent app
// to collect the message.
var outgoingEvent:Event
= new Event("eventListener_UpdateAvailability",false);
dispatchEvent(outgoingEvent);
}
Hope it helps.

[flexcoders] Re: Integrate flex and Java
If you are interested in triggering a java application from Flex Client side, one way I can think of is making a mini Java project, whose only purpose is to trigger a Runtime.exec, from where you can initiate whatever java app you want to start via a batch file/shell script. Obviously, it depends upon your exact scenario, and what you are trying to achieve. Why don't you present your problem scenario, and then may be someone will have some ideas.

[flexcoders] Re: Integrate flex and Java
Venkat, You need to be looking at the middleware which sits between backend like Java and Flex Front End. Here are the few popular ones: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/blazeds/BlazeDS http://www.themidnightcoders.com/weborb/java/ Once you get an understanding of these, you will know better. Java understands Java Objects, and Flex understand ActionScript Objects (and other things). This middleware does the magic of converting Java POJOs -> AS Objects and vice versa. You can integrate these middleware solutions with an existing Java webapplication. I wrote this small how-to some time back, http://meriyatra-blog.blogspot.com/2008/07/flex-how-do-i-integrate- blazeflash-with.html but you will also find loads of material on the web, if you look. Hope this helps. Good luck & have fun. -ramnish --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tom Chiverton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Thursday 31 Jul 2008, venkat eswar wrote: > > how to integrate flex and java. when i click a button in flex the whole > > java application is to be loaded. > > You can't invoke other executables or shared libraries from plain Flex > applications. > There are frameworks that work as launchers or wrappers around a Flex > application to allow this though, if that would work. > > -- > Tom Chiverton > > > > This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP. > > Halliwells LLP is a limited liability partnership registered in England and Wales under registered number OC307980 whose registered office address is at Halliwells LLP, 3 Hardman Square, Spinningfields, Manchester, M3 3EB.
