I have no background in programming , I am close to 54.I am following some AS3 Lynda.com Essential Training. I seem to understand the material but when I try to make a simple program on my own I am lost , I have to refer back to the lesson to be able to write a simple line of code on my

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Framework Choice

2010-03-24 Thread Richard Rodseth
No worries. I just think the two choices (framework vs none, modules or none) are orthogonal. And if I were building non-trivial modules, I would want an MVC architecture within them. The first app I built was based on Joe Noteflight Berkovitz' MVCS article (i.e. no framework), and I used to

A further note, the dataUnits seem to work for columnSeries, but not for plotSeries. Or it could be just setting the units to hours that is the problem. I'm looking into it further. It would be great to get some confirmation that this is fixed in Flex 4. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com,

I started AS3 in a flex environment in 2007. I only currently code in AS3 as its all i require for games and the type of stuff i do. I found the journey difficult but all i knew was AS1 (and i didnt even understand it back then). Its not to much the syntax i struggle with but the structure and

Flex can't natively connect directly to a database. There needs to be some sort of middle layer. (AIR apps can connect directly to SQLite, though.) For the Access DB I inherited, I ended up migrating the whole thing to MS SQL and then created web services. Then I use Flex's web service

Don't worry about having to refer back to the materials. I'm almost a year into programming with AS3 and even though I've got a BS in IT and can program in a few other languages, I still have to refer to AS3 materials quite regularly. I'm betting it's the same case for a lot of developers

If you've never programmed before, I wouldn't expect you to be able to do much on your own after only 4 weeks. First, you need to make sure you understand basics like what is a variable, what is a function, what is a getter/setter, how to use various operators, how to write conditional and

Thumbs up for just using Flex SDK as the framework. Make good use of custom business interfaces and ensure all developers develop controls within some container vs Application/Module (leave the loading of their actual code to someone who really understands Flex). Also take the hit and wrap most

The idea is to create a SWC with all classes and give the FLA to change the visual appearance. For this reason I need the main class must be in a library, so a designer simply adapts the graphical aspect. Is there another way to do this? Regards, David 2010/3/24 Oleg Sivokon

1. You cannot embed on constants. 2. It is always better to embed on a class then on a variable (you won't be using mx.core.WhateverAsset for the asset factory, but a normal flash.* class. Best. Oleg

It's also important to get your information from more than one source. I used three different books, Lynda.com, and Adobe's Flex-in-a-week online videos (plus this forum, and dozens of Flex Blogs that I've found through Google searches). Each one of them has their strengths and weaknesses --

Referring back to your lessons is no different to what you would do if you were learning any new skill (eg learning English or French). You will keep doing that until you become familiarand then you move to more complex stuff. My suggestion would be keep looking at examples, try them out.
