RE: [flexcoders] E-Mail from flex.

2011-12-14 Thread Bill Brutzman
There are some back-end Java messaging APIs available.  The Flex app needs
to connect to the chosen Java Messaging API.  There is some plumbing
involved.  An easier, faster, cleaner, better way to use ColdFusion.

Hi All,

 

I have an application that is developed on Flex and JAVA on the backend. I
need to provide a new email form the flex end. 

I will create a field for to email id/ subject/ body in flex and will pass
it to java backend. Can some help what has to be done at java end?

What email type can be used? Is a valid email/password enough? I was also
asked to evaluate SMTP/POP3/IMAP options also. Can you help?

 

Thanks!

 


Cheers,

Venkat.

If you're only sending mail, it's fairly simple with the Javamail API:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javamail/index.html

Your flex app would send the parts of the email message to the server and the 
server would construct the message and send it using the Javamail API, and smtp 
or smtps.

Only if you're going to be reading mail in your flex app would you have to 
worry about POP3 or IMAP.

[flexcoders] You are the product

2011-12-14 Thread Kevin MacDonald
Hello developers,

I have come to some unfortunate conclusions about how Adobe operates. I
would be interested to get your opinions on the matter.

Some years ago I helped build out a desktop application using Macromedia
Director. It ran on both Mac and Windows, and was heavily backed by web
services. In principle it was much like an Adobe AIR app might be today.
After a few years Adobe bought Macromedia Director, with promises to the
developer community that they would continue to support it. They came out
with a few maintenance releases that were extremely buggy, enough so that
we tried to roll back to the previous version. However, Adobe made sure
there were some gotchas that made it painful to either stay on the current
version or roll back. Shortly thereafter they killed Director altogether.

An Adobe evangelist came to our office and sold us hard on moving to Adobe
AIR, which we did. We completely re-wrote our application on that platform.
Now, several years later, Adobe is very obviously moving away from AIR and
towards HTML5, again with promises to their loyal developers to continue
supporting it.

Based on their history what I expect Adobe to do is kill AIR before too
long. And you should have no doubts that they can make it very painful to
remain on that platform. For example, AIR apps use whatever version of
Adobe Reader is installed on the client machine. Adobe Reader updates
happen independently of updates to the AIR run time. The latest update to
Adobe Reader broke certain aspects of our client application, something
that might directly hurt our business. What can you do when the HTMLLoader
object no longer correctly displays a PDF? What I expected Adobe to do -
and what the evangelist led me to believe - was that Adobe would evolve AIR
and Flash Builder towards HTML5 over time, bringing all of us along with
them. But they don't do that. They scorch the earth and start over.

So, what's next? I suppose we will hear from Adobe before too long that we
should run out, buy PhoneGap Builder 1.0, and once again chase their
code-once-deploy-everywhere carrot.

We are not the customer. We are the product. We are the means by which
Adobe makes money for their shareholders, nothing more.  I suppose in true
jaded developer fashion this should come as no shock to me. But the truth
is, it never feels nice to be a pawn in someone else's game.

Kevin

[flexcoders] Re: Grouping visually in ADG

2011-12-14 Thread Oleg Konovalov
How can I set borderThickness of AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup ?

Doesn't seem to work through styleFunction - it removes the context text of 
included ADGColumns.

Can I do it in itemRenderer ?  Any code samples?



OR: Can I use BorderContainer in an itemRenderer of ADGColumnGroup?

If I place ADGColumns inside it, Flex compiler shows errors like
ADGColumn declaration must be contained within Declaration tag,
since it's not assignable to the the default property's element type 
IVisualElement.

How can I declare ADGColumn outside it's DataGrid?

Sorry, I am fairly new to Flex4.


Please advise,
Oleg.

 Hi,
  
 
 I need to group some ADG columns visually,

 So imagine you have columns containing countries, and you want to group them 
 by continent  (UK, France, Germany ;USA, Mexico, Canada; etc.)
 
 Is there a way to do it in ADG ?
 
 I am trying to do it by creating item renderer and applying it on

 Is that correct approach?
 Any code samples?
