Re: [flexcoders] You are the product

 I really don't want to take a step back when I was
 in fact hoping to be getting a new version of
 action script that moved the main language even
 further forward.


I feel the same way. I just dislike JS and going from ActionScript to 
JavaScript is a step back.. a big one.
If you know Java, you're in luck 'cos with GWT you can just write Java apps and 
they get compiled to JS (with html/css) and you 
still get to use Maven/Spring/Hibernate and do all the OOP stuff and whatnot. 
You don't have to look at javascript at all, let alone 
write a single line of it !
As I mentioned earlier, if FlashBuilder would do something similar, I'd be all 
over it.
And it can be done, haXe already does that.

Currently AS3 is a compiled language and JS is an interpreted language. Now
can adobe come up with an interpreter for as3?

Hmmm. I doubt that would be possible.

The problem has never been with compiling the code as such. Its about how
the compiled code is finally used. Since we are going to be replacing  /
removing the Flash Player from the picture, whether we compile the code on
the server end or compile the code on the client end it really doesnt
matter.

 Hi All,
 
 I'm trying to skin the thumb of an hSlider component. Problems: 
 1) the thumb is resized to be pixelated and grainy. 
 2) Its position is incorrect. Instead of the new button being cleanly 
 bisected by the track, it is just below the track, tangential to it. And 
 (presumably because its registration point is at upper left) when I slide it 
 all the way to the right, it goes  off the end of the track until its left

Hello to you all!

Removing Flash Player from the picture, require use a client side
technology available in most devices.

HTML5 will require, at least, javascript. Since 99 I never really trust
javascript because the cross-browser compatibility.
Anyone care to illustrate to me what change since then?
Do browsers in other devices really stick with one version of javascript?
If between browsers, under windows, we don´t got a javascript running
without a hole bunch of workarounds, what is the difference for others
devices?

You don´t wanna flash? I can understand that. But you will need something
real to get the juice. You will need RIA.

JavaFX can be an option. Silverlight already is, once the win8 got to
devices. But none of then will work on iOS. Probably only silverlight will
work on win8/metro ( 'will not run plugins... a side the ones from
microsoft' ).

I will stick with flash/flex for the time being and still waiting on the
next best thing involving RIA and Web.

RE: [flexcoders] Fill pdf form with Flex

2011-12-19 Thread Bill Brutzman
I wrote a Flex app that shows a dataGrid with SQL data via ColdFusion.

 

The end user clicks on a line item in the dataGrid and a little ColdFusion
app bundles the selected data into a little XML file. launches. and hydrates
the pdf.

 

The blank pdf form was created using Adobe's LiveCycle Designer (bundled
with Acrobat Pro) .

 without a hole bunch of workarounds, what is the difference for others
 devices?

 You don´t wanna flash? I can understand that. But you will need something
 real to get the juice. You will need RIA.

 JavaFX can be an option. Silverlight already is, once the win8 got to
 devices. But none of then will work on iOS. Probably only silverlight will
 work on win8/metro ( 'will not run plugins... a side the ones from
 microsoft' ).

 I will stick with flash/flex for the time being and still waiting on the
 next best thing involving RIA and Web.

 Rogério Gonzalez

 Hmmm. I doubt that would be possible.

 The problem has never been with compiling the code as such. Its about
 how the compiled code is finally used. Since we are going to be replacing
  / removing the Flash Player from the picture, whether we compile the code
 on the server end or compile the code on the client end it really doesnt
 matter.

 Hmm… if Falcon is 10x faster than the previous compiler – could you
 incrementally feed it and have it emit to the browser? Kind of like a
 progressive download?

 All that adobe needs to do is, start attempting to replace the current
 JS with AS3.
 Currently AS3 is a compiled language and JS is an interpreted language.
 Now can adobe come up with an interpreter for as3?

 I feel the same way. I just dislike JS and going from ActionScript to
 JavaScript is a step back.. a big one.
 If you know Java, you're in luck 'cos with GWT you can just write Java
 apps and they get compiled to JS (with html/css) and you
 still get to use Maven/Spring/Hibernate and do all the OOP stuff and
 whatnot. You don't have to look at javascript at all, let alone
 write a single line of it !
 As I mentioned earlier, if FlashBuilder would do something similar,
 I'd be all over it.
 And it can be done, haXe already does that.

  I just doesn't feel very complete to me.

  The charts? The dashboard? The app as a whole?
  Yes. I'd recommend looking into the ExtJS samples
  at Sencha.

The general consensus is that

a. People hate Flash. ( dont really know why!!! after reading all the 
HTML 5 vs Flash articles... )  / Developers hate javascript ( atleast 
the people who like the OOP paradigm! ).
b. Developers love AS3. ( Its the next best thing to chocolate! ) / 
People love nice UI.




Maybe people hate the things we create with Flash, such as heavyweight 
advertisements you can't easily stop - but that's the programmers fault.


Personally, I am interested in educational applications, so AS3 is 
great: very powerful with amazing potential. Just look at what Away3D 
manage to do: http://away3d.com/showcase/


Isn't AIR is the obvious choice, and not Flash, when you want avoid 
browser multiplicity?

I agree with those theories, which is why I think hAxe is a promising 
technology going forward - program in an OOP way very similar to AS3 and yet 
export to Javascript/HTML5.

[flexcoders] How to set selected text color in Spark TextInput

2011-12-19 Thread synthastic
I'm trying to get Spark TextInputs to look like Halo/MX TextInputs as much as 
possible, since I have a mix of both in my application. I know I can set the 
selection background color to black using focusedTextSelectionColor. Using only 
styles, how can I set the text color itself to white so it matches the MX white 
on black look? textSelectedColor is apparently not supported.
