The end of a way of life

[Scott Matheson]

With the death of flash today, we are in a new world, due to timing we had to 
move to HTML, it has taken us 18 months we a few more months of small bug fixes 

It is interesting that flash dies off as the UK leave the EU, both driven by 
political adding nothing to the every day man 

As thy say ins the UK, there is no point is crying over spilt milk, I look back 
on the simple life we had

Chris’s and Edge issues

[Scott Matheson]

Hi
Has anyone see this 

It appears that Flash Player in the latest update of any chromium based browser 
is no longer able to access the microphone using new versions of Chrome 
(version 87) and the latest Edge
Browsers that require the plug-in ,such as Internet Explorer and Opera, still 
have correct mic function even after updating to the latest version.

Re: Future of Flex

   I have been in the business since 1982 seen a lot, I remember when our 
first IBM PC B/W screen with 64k memory,  single floppy dive arrived and we 
just looked at it and said what are we to do with that 

I started developing on PL1, is GO not copy, that a different thread 

I have been developing in Flex since 2010, and really enjoyed the experience, I 
100% agree with every thing you said

Unfortunately Royal was too late for us,  and we made the switch to React last 
year, we found electron for mobile was sufficient for our dneeds, we could 
still create a AIR app from out flex source code if we had, but why have 2 code 
bases if you do not need too

The new React application is designed to look identical to the Flex app, and it 
does, an end user would be  hard pressed see the difference 

I hate the React JS CSS design approach, but sometimes you just have to dig 
deep 

The world is not logical place

   I Totally agree, back in 2009 I spend 1 year looking a frameworks, going 
round and round reading all the stuff trying to balance one evangelist vs 
another evangelist, then o read something that said there is no answer pick 
want  works for you, in my case I needed rich UX, at the time that meant Flex 
and off I went 

When I say " evangelist,”  these guys create a lot of noise and you need to 
understand how the get “paid” / ‘rewarded” cash clicks or  ego etc. you have to 
try and filter all this out and work out what's best for you or pick something 
that you think will be with us for a long time 

Angular was a the big hope, Goggle is a big player
Then React, well face book is a big player  
Now well maybe Vue.js 
 
I long for the day of Flash / Flex  rules the world 

PS keeps us all in a job :)

Re: Flash app -> AIR

[Scott]

Yes with 450 screen that’s a big job, air or the local wed browse is the simple 
approach 

We went with royal, the design approach is the same as flex, we started by 
creating 1 to 1 components, the new compounded are JS CSS SVGS in our case 
about 30 components 

The royal component architecture is identical  to flex so your front end logic 
does not need to change, we had a simple, MVC design

As for AS3 we used a converter to TrueType, the code logic is the same, we used 
a tool and a bit manual work, we took the operation to add testing 

We do have a simpler application, 30 screens that generated about 1000 screens 
, we planned on 6 man months work, we are 3 into the project and on track, we 
will end up with a stand application, in the sweet spot of the industry, royal 
will never be in the sweet spot for the industry

It is a big hit on cost and time, but we have a future, this app has been 
running is some form or other for 20 plus years, this is our 3rd rewrite we 
started with a desk top products toolbook 1995, which was good for 15 years, 
then we moved to flex 2010, and html5 from 2200 

Happy to provide detailed information if you need

Re: Flash app -> AIR

[Scott]

So I am an old program  60 so I would say I have seen it all many time over, we 
have tried/looked at royal a number of times 

As for royal, sorry it is late, we needed royal to be in full production 2 
years ago, when we tried royal we kept finding new issues or missing elements, 
yes I know this is community code and I wish the project all the success 

Now for the real issue, community unless there is a big user community then the 
key developed will do something else, just look at what happened to flex when 
adobe pull the plug, this could happened again and who is to say it will not, 
then royal will be  a dead end 

Sorry that’s just my view, over 40 years of development I have seen this happen 
many time

Re: Flash app -> AIR

[Scott]

AIR is a good option but you have the update  install problems, the solutions 
are out there and air will do auto update etc ...

Google web frame work well, you install a browser, that looks a desk top app 
but run the flex app like today, I have tried this and it work well the WebKit 
stuff is not difficult 

With the new commercial owners of air etc you should be able to come to a deal 
on the desk top install of flash, I have talked to Andrew about this approach 

In our case we had the skills and due to timing we went for a UX port to HTML5 
but keeps all the as3 code, we converted to TrueType in less that 1 day 

Royal is an option but to hard and IMHO a dead end, in a few years your be 
porting again

   All the best with this move, a bit to late for UofS, saying that 
we may look at some of the options once we see how our html5 project goes on 
mobile devices

Pricing is interesting, seen all versions of this, from Oracle in 1990’s trying 
to license end users for the web to consumption base approach 

Salesman get all hot and bothered, coming up with new models that will make 
billions in the first week, years letter you go back to what the really uses 
told you day one

unix / opens source is a good model for pricing that seems to work

Re: In-app Purchases

[Scott Mathewson]

Or maybe the issue is individually purchase which you had move to the web

In the case of SF etc is purchased by the company and the app users are 
“employees” of the purchasing company 

If that’s the case maybe your need to change your business model if that’s 
possible

Re: setStyle on a Label

[scott matheson]

the_lsn.setStyle("textAlign", "center”);   only works if you have a width

so 

>var _lsn:Label = new Label();

_lns.width=100;

works as it should, I had  assumed the width would have been inherited fro the 
parent

setStyle on a Label

[Scott Matheson]

Hi

 How do I make a text label appear in the center of an lable using AS3 code

 
 var _lsn:Label = new Label();
 _lsn.text = _”hellow”
 _lsn.setStyle("textAlign", "center");

 
 
the issue must be setStyle

Re: Label

yes the width works fine 

var _sln:Label = new Label();
_sln.text = _uofsModel.tempLessonTestResults.aUofS[i];
_sln.setStyle("textAlign", "center");
_bgs.addElement(_sln);

Re: [Discussion] Life after FlashPlayer

[scott matheson]

Hi
So I am not a deep deep developer, i have been working with Flex for web 
apps for 7 years and I love it, however from what i have read, it is a 
significant amount of work to move, there is no one to one mapping of MXML, I 
also think you have to change code, so there is significant effort, 

In use mostly simp,e text box, buttons, repeaters and grids

I am missing something, is Royal real simple ? 

from what i can see 
https://royale.apache.org/creating-a-group-of-jewel-radiobuttons/ 
<https://royale.apache.org/creating-a-group-of-jewel-radiobuttons/>  royal is 
good if you have AS3 app with no MXML 

MXML is not there and will be some it (if every) to come

Re: Print/Export to PDF TLF

[Scott Matheson]

Hi for my flex web app I use http://alivepdf.bytearray.org/?page_id=5

Works ok for 1 page, I have built a report generator to produce 20 page output 
to a pdf file, The save file works in my IDE but fails when I deploy, could be 
me or a bug in the library

Happy to share the basic code of that will help

I am now looking as JS library to handle PDF output

excluding item in layout

[scott matheson]

Hi
   I have a data driven dynamic layout out, in this small example, when i show 
the page i could have  1 to  6 BrorderContainer, how can i exclude items form 
the layout and have the  dynamically fill the remaining space, State would get 
overly complex 

 IE 

b1.excludFromLayout = true; 



   

   
  
  
   

   
  
  
  
  
  
  

   

Re: Flash & The Future of Interactive Content

[Scott Matheson]

Not sure I understand your comment about flash player inside Air HTML

I read this as the end of FP so the only option for web based apps is flashJS 
(which is a big port) or 100% rewrite 

Or am I wrong?

Re: Downloading Large Amounts of Data from Database

[scott matheson]

sorry i only know about web apps, the browse does all the work


it seems you need to write your own applications server logic, or MySQL stored 
proc

see this http://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-cursor/ 



1, pass down data in chunks (my preferred approach) 
2, comprises your data, there are may tools to do this, i would loom for a ZIP 
tool, these tools  or create you own coding ie  10,000  could be 1~04  ie 1 + 4 
zeros, it all depends on you data, replacing pattens with codes can save 
download time

Compression is just standard web server configuration, I pull a lot of sound

Just checking have you enabled HTTP compressional it makes a big difference 

The standard approach is a SQlL causer, this is one SQL quire the server will 
pass you say 1 records, the client then ask is for the next and so on  

Or you could do the same by limiting the data retuned you would write some 
server side code to pass 1 records at a time

Re: forcing a screen redraw

[scott matheson]

the show  event is firing the first time i display the screen, i then open a 
model to do work, the issue is when i come back the show evend does not fire, 
as the screen is still on the display,  i will try the validateNow() otherwise 
i just bind a function

forcing a screen redraw

[scott matheson]

Hi
   I have a complex screen, due to complexity and then number of data items i 
have use AS3 code to setup the currentStates, rather then bindings, how can i 
force the “show” event so the screen will redraw ?

Groups

[scott matheson]

Hi
   My graphic artist has build a really nice looking segment, which I have 
converted in to vector graphics, however   to create events i place the path in 
a group, as the group is a square shape these groups are interfering  

my OO coding is not good, so can I extent  to generate click, mouse over. 
mouse out events ? 

or is there a someway, to containing this path in a object capable of 
generating event but but staying within the path  


 

Re: Multithreading

[Scott Matheson]

I think this is more a question of architecture 

Can you write simple code that takes a bit of data process this and puts the 
data back on the stack, if so you could run say 1400 process (aws or the likes) 
for 1 min each day 

You could also afford to run less efficient code as AS3 on the server 

Time is expensive CPU is cheap

MDI for Apache Flex?

[Scott]

Are there any current / working MDI libraries, for Apache Flex?

I downloaded the source for flexlib, but when I run the MDI example
nothing happens (nothing is displayed).  It compiles, but I just see
nothing in the browser.   Some of the other examples work fine. So
I am not sure if it's an incompatibility with the Apache Flex, or some
other issue.

Scaleing and Center popups

[scott matheson]

Hi
   I use this code to centre my popups 
   var _class3:ReportsDialogDictation = new ReportsDialogDictation();
   PopUpManager.addPopUp(_class3, this.parentApplication as DisplayObject, 
true);
   PopUpManager.centerPopUp(_class3);
}


this works fine


when i let the user scale the application 

var visibleWidth:Number = systemManager.getVisibleApplicationRect().width;
var visibleHeight:Number = systemManager.getVisibleApplicationRect().height;
var smallestScale:Number = Math.min(visibleHeight / 768, visibleWidth / 1024);
appHolder.scaleX = smallestScale;
appHolder.scaleY = smallestScale;


I still end up with centre popups, but these are popups are small

when i scale the popup it self with this code in the creationComplete

 


private function init():void {
   var visibleWidth:Number = systemManager.getVisibleApplicationRect().width;
   var visibleHeight:Number = systemManager.getVisibleApplicationRect().height;
   var smallestScale:Number = Math.min(visibleHeight / 768, visibleWidth / 
1024);
   this.scaleX = smallestScale;
   this.scaleY = smallestScale;

}

I end up with the popup not centred 

any ideas ?

Re: RSLs

[Scott Matheson]

When we have schools in far off location, (poor networks or expensive Internet, 
Canada, rural US, saterlight connections etc) we where thinking we could add 
all the sound in to the air app and just push the students progress to the 
backend, this way the kids can work outside school time at home with access to 
there own progress

RSLs

[Scott Matheson]

Hi in our app we have a lot of MP3s 1Gb in total, these are spread over 150 
skills, a skill would the about 6Mb of sound, in toto we have about 15,000 2sec 
sound clips 

In a school you may a number of students all working on the same skills, a 
skill would be about 100 sound clips, there No shared sound between skills 

Today we download the sound clips as we render the item, this has worked well 
for 18 months however a small number of schools have issue with networks, also 
some schools are in remote location, Jamaica, Falkland Island or just out of 
the way location in the US, these schools may be using caching capability but 
we have no control on this, network cost can be high for these schools 

We have consider an AIR app, however this approach has other issue in schools 

I was thinking we could create a RSL for each skill, then let flex download as 
needed, we believe this library would stay on the PC so the second time the 
kids need this skill the sound will be there, is there limits to the size of 
SRL that can be stored ?

We could also request a RSL before the student needs this skill, we know what 
the kids will work on next 

Are there limits of RSL, are the any downsides to RSL, is this a good 
architectural approach ?

Any input is welcomed

Asset loading

[Scott Matheson]

Hi
   We are having some issues loading assets in schools with poor internet, or 
with the firewalls killing connections, anyway we believe our only solution is 
to subclass “something” not sure what we need tio subclass, has any one tried 
this or can give us any hints so we  can add business logic that will retry to 
load the asset or replace the asset with an embedded file 


This is the issue we have --

When the url fails to load the custom effect replaces its own source property 
with white space (embedded files) successfully. However the "sound effect 
instance" has already been created and has not got a valid sound so errors when 
attempting to play.

At what time during the event/eventinstance  life-cycle is it good to fall back 
and replace with white space?

Is there a way to modify the effect instance after the init instance has been 
called? i.e. when the sound actually loads.






 

Re: Asset loading

[Scott Matheson]

Sorry when we can not get the asset off our site, the URL load fails on the 
instance of the effect we would replace the sound we are trying to download 
with a emended MP3 of 1 sec of nothing (white space)  this way the effect has 
something to play

SoundEffect, reload an IO_ERROR

Hi
We have been looking at this for some time and can not find a solution, 

when using soundEffect, if  we pick up an IO_ERROR  most often due to network

Re: The future of Adobe AIR is right?

[Scott Matheson]

Let's not get Flex confused with flash player and HTML

From my point of view the execution is unimportant as long as it works, if 
flexJS lets me continuer to code in flex why should I care how it executes, am 
I bothered the flex create specific code for iPad, no 

As a developer I spend all my time in the IDE and code structures, maybe the 
future is position flex as a true cross platform language, flash player is just 
a legacy option 

Comments please

 I need to make a decision soon, and your opinions will count a lot in this

 Adobe AIR will be kept? This is a sure future?
 I migrate to AIR?
 You can now use FlexJS?

Re: The future of Adobe AIR is right?

[Scott Matheson]

So the key issue is how Adobe is managing the flash debate, or in fact not, and 
as long as flash own player these issues will not go away

Flash will be around for years however Adobe will eventually give up on the 
player, but too late for the world

This could all be changed if Adobe was to make flash player open source, just 
like flex

 So the comment I have is that the runtime is very different and better than 
 interpreted html, by definition. That's why having the full runtime available 
 is so valuable with AIR and the Flash player on desktop and windows tablets. 
 The way the runtime works is totally different in terms of the full set of 
 libraries and packages and actionscript language but also the way rendering 
 takes place. So every object would be like a complete canvas of every feature 
 that a web browser offers and much more. So instead of individual xml 
 elements, div etc, being rendered out individually and separately with only a 
 given set of available properties, all objects in Flash can be modified at 
 the lowest rendering level and manipulated with any or all available objects 
 or packages. Similarly, all of this happens within a single layered 
 environment where objects are displayed transparently on one another.
 
 So all of the things on the most cutting edge of html today, web components, 
 es6, data binding, 3d context, CSS transitions and transformations etc, have 
 always been available in Flex and Flash and rendered in a much better, more 
 flexible, fully programmable pipeline that makes sense and is easy to use and 
 understand.
 
 The fact is that html will never be as good as the runtime because it simply 
 can't be because it's entire structure and rendering is completely different. 
 So the best options is for Flex content to basically be read and mapped out 
 to some corresponding html, which will function in its own constrained way.
 
 So an example of all of this would be once when I needed to a small graphic 
 of an arrow pointing down below a pop-up menu in Flex. I was able to target 
 the actual graphic object itself in actionscript and programmatically create 
 a vector object I wanted and attach it as a child to the parent object as a 
 single object oriented component. In html I would have to go to a lot of 
 trouble to create a bunch of nested elements and put in a separate svg 
 element or background image and have all sorts of cross browser issues and 
 the concept of layering the popup would be difficult and confusing. So in 
 general everything is just simpler, easier and completely better from a 
 programming perspective.
 
 That's what it's really all about, Flash is simply the better platform when 
 you look at it. However with the current state of the market we are all 
 probably having to work with html based Web apps as well in their own terms 
 and formats. At least I am ... If given and honest comparison and choice 
 though it's pretty obvious that Flash/Flex/Air are vastly superior, and they 
 always have been.

Re: Flex/Flash Viable still?

[Scott Matheson]

Hi
  The fact that there is a security issue in flash is not new, in fact they are 
security issue with almost all technology all the time, the real issue us the 
speed that these issue are fixed

There are those in the industry that would like to see the end of flash, long 
live HTML5, this is IMHO an agenda driven by $ and Power and has little to do 
with technology, maybe the upside of all this would be Adobe giving flash 
player (will never happene) to Apache foundation am move Adobe should have made 
4 years go, a move that has more to do with $ and Power ( Adobe we own the 
world) 

As for developer this is still a hard problem, Flash is a bit like supporting 
Arsenal when the world is behind Chelsea or Man U, we all know Arsenal is the 
best team in the  world, it is just the rest of the world are looking at 
glamour team   

If you want to be safe code, in HTML5, no frame works, no extension, no Anglia 
JS  as these will all come and go, you life will be simpler but you life will 
not be worth living

 Does anyone know if alivePDF can support this, ie opens a PDF window after
 creation, I find the document very difficult to follow, example would be
 nice :)

 If all else is the same; the you can just have two different application 
 files; one for the Flex app (Application) and one for the AIR App 
 (WindowedApplication, I Think) that instantiate your main view.

 There are a few ways to handle publishing to multiple targets; its a matter 
 of personal preference (and which IDE you are using).

 Easiest way (assuming you are using FB) is probably to create a new project 
 for AIR version - and in project properties-flex build path-source path, 
 add folder to point to src folder of your web project. Then you only need to 
 maintain one set of code.

 Hi
 I have just completed my first Flash / Web app and all is running well,
 I need to now build an AIR version of the same app, is there an recommend
 approach/efficient , do I simply have 2 version of the app, or do I just
 need a new AIR project and some how reference the code for the Flex projects

 I was looking at SRL but I cannot get my head round these, or do I just
 compile the full app as  a module  and build 2 starts, one for WEB ons for
 AIR and have both MAIN¹s load the same module

 I know for mobile you need to change some of the MXML code, with Air I
 assume all the code is the same
