Re: [flexcoders] circular image in flex
Whats interesting is most people never even looked at the motivation.My last
Flex project ran beautifully on everything.Flex threatened to completely
eliminate the differences between Mac and Windows for the user.It threatened to
kill Mac or at least cause a price reduction.THAT'S why Steve Jobs killed
flash.and the world as usual, ran off the cliff like a herd of lemmings.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] circular image in flex
The guy who said that killing flex was crime well I will say it was more
than a crime and a pathetic one the technologies should not be shape shifted
this way.Still there is no camparison to the pixel perfection of the Flash/Flex
platform. JavaScript can't promise the crispness sharpness and clarity of Flash
platform. The killed it simply. There was a time when this group wasn't such
quite now there's nothing like before... Alex(Flex) Haurui was always there...
This thing itself signifys that how much devs moved on to other web/mobile
platforms. It really disappointed Flex devs a lot...Anyways wish u all the best.

Re: [flexcoders] circular image in flex
The death of this technology was a crime.Oliver Cromwell has his Ireland and
Steve Jobs had his flash.
Angular2 is pretty good replacement, eventually they will add a bitmap I
predict.They will have to eventually, or a facsimile thereof
When you can't mathematically relate any pixel on the screen to any other and
do so over time.You are by definition inferior to flash as a user interface.

That is a concern for trying to emulate Flash or the current Flex SDK in JS since that is quite a bit of code. But for FlexJS, if you look at the prototype of the JQuery wrapping, it is a thin layer written to implement whatever was needed to implement an AS emulation of JQuery. So, in theory, if FlexJS using JQuery isn't fast enough, it probably wasn't going to be fast enough use JQuery either. And that's not a problem for the Apache Flex project. The browser companies know they need to get their JS implementations to work faster and computers and devices are getting faster. It might be a problem now, but may not be in the future. Also note that in many cases JS runs faster than AS. In the JS code we do write for FlexJS we are trying to re-use code as much as possible, which is supposed to take advantage of the JS optimizers. That's why FlexJS is using more composition instead of inheritance since AS doesn't support multiple inheritance. pixel-by-pixel control. If the industry demands it, the browser manufacturers will deliver. It doesn't matter for FlexJS, although it would probably make some things easier or faster. Already, we've seen significant convergence towards standards in the main browsers (IE, FF, Chrome, Android, IOS).

But have to admit to strong doubts about it. No matter how many hoops you put yourself through you are still working without many fundamentals of advanced programming. There just isn't the juice under the hood, maybe with parallel processing, but then we are getting close to a million monkeys banging on typewriters til they eventually produce a novel aren't we? I think the latest ie browser brought flash into the browser as a native element not a plug in. Like it or not you got it. I was stunned to hear it being done by MS, but its a brilliant way to bring about a correction to the market hysteria which dominated after Job's death, and Adobe's stupid response. Eventually the industry will demand pixel by pixel interface control, there just is no substitute equal to it by definition. After all the burning at the stake stuff, it will probably be called shadow o! r something, not flash, but a rose by any other name. At the risk of creating a never ending brush fire (oh what the hey its fun sometimes), I wonder if some of the jump on flash and pummel it hysteria had an unacknowledged element of gay bashing. Adobe, deserve it or not, like it or not, had quite a reputation. There was one advocate, I think it was in RTMP networking videos, that would insert short clips of himself getting back ended after about 45 minutes of mind numbing, real high end, discussion. I thought it was funny as hell, removed the glaze from your eyes, and dropped your jaw the first time you saw it, but i think others were not so amused. (Hey, Kiddies certainly aren't going to get that far into one of these unless they are enrolling at Harvard at 12 or something, and I survived the experience, and found the fast forward button). I think the bent over man statue in front of the offices also h! elped with the rep issue. BUT WHO CARES ! Credit where credit ! is due.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Future Scope of Flex
Being its my 12th language I don't find JS that difficult. I object to the design tho. Its a completely inferior and unpredictable design approach. My primary interests are relational database, complex relationships. having classes etc that enable you to deal with the entire screen as a unit is invaluable Look there is a good reason that google is on its third try to replace javascript with something better. If the movement of flash native to the browser succeeds then its eventually going to be game over. Its basics. Can you relate every pixel on the screen in one unified equation and morph it at will mathematically. By the way, I haven't looked lately, been knee deep in other stuff, how is the flash to the browser native going anyway?

But these are all just tools for communication between the dev and the user. The users have chosen a route that no longer needs flex/flash. That is neither good nor bad - it just is. You may dislike parts of technology A and think it's inferior to technology B - but have you considered the notion that possibly you may be trying I hammer nails with a saw? You may dislike that JS does not have the type safety of AS. But if you are relying on type checking you are missing the boat. The compiler can't check if your logic is bad. It can only check that something like tab a is in slot b. You still have to unit test. All the skills you bring to solve a problem are only marginally helped by the compiler bitching that a class does not have a method to support an interface. There is nothing inherently bad about prototypical inheritance as opposed to class based inheritance. As a matter of fact you typically don't need to use inheritance in JS. Tell me - is it cleaner to devolve functionality into representations that can be decorated onto any object - and you test the functionality itself? Or to HAVE to inherit from class A in order to get the features if class A? You can't do multiple inheritance in AS - so you have to hack around with interfaces and utils or you must repeat yourself. In JS - just decorate what you need with what you need it to do. It's all good bro.

[flexcoders] Air Video decryption
I am trying to read an encrypted video file from the disk in Air (I encrypted it) into the videoplayer component and play it unencrypted. Reading and decrypting the file is no problem, but the videoplayer uses a file url as source not a variable. Is there anyway to direct the videoplayer to an in memory variable and if so will it play correctly? Does the player use any kind of file position variable to control play (it must) and how will it react to the absense of such a pointer? I am looking at serving it from the within the same app but not sure if this will work either despite posts that say it will in other places. Is the new peer to peer rtmfp a realistic option here? thanks

Thanks, Srinivas. It's true, I came to Flash Builder in a bit of a hurry

should have. I had indeed not understood the FB mechanisms properly.
With your explanation I understand a bit better what I need to do.

Dan,
Whether you use Command-line or Flex Builder it doesn't matter, you
always will try to compile 1 application in entire project, unless you
have two or more applications in the project. Correct me if I am
wrong, as my understanding goes you have EncoderController.as file
which has class definition for EncoderController class which extends
I guess from Application/Sprite. I guess this is the reason your
project's main mxml file has root node as
local:EncoderController./. Now if you are using Flex Builder,
normally the main application mxml file which Flex Builder Template
creates has root node as s:Application. In your case, after that mxml
is created all you need to do just replace that default auto generated
code by your old mxml contents include EncoderController.as in the
src directory, which should work fine for you.
FX:Script tag is used in mxml to just include AS scripts which doesn't
have class definitions. Normally these AS files would have methods,
variables etc required or used in MXML file. I hope you know that any
MXML file can use fx:script tag and write the AS scripts stuff
required in that particular MXML. Treat this MXML+AS script as class.
The reason why you getting error in first place is, the MXML file
which you have is extending from spark::Application [hence root tag as
s:Application] included AS file has definition of a class which also
extends from spark:Application.
Writing code and compiling with SDK using compile time shouldn't be
different from using Flex Builder. In-fact it gives more flexibility
user friendliness. Please read-up more on using Flex Builder, should
help you convert your application more easily.
Let me know if you need more help.
Thanks

The project was originally written as an mxml file (Encoder.mxml) and an

On the Mac I selected New then Flex Project and named the project
IntegratedEncoder. That got me an mxml file. I then copied the .as
file over from my other working environment, renamed it
IntegratedEncoderController.as, changed the class name appropriately,
and modified the new mxml file Flash Builder made for me to include
fx:Script source=IntegratedEncoderController.as /
When I save the file the editor windows for
IntegratedEncoderController.as shows an error on the line in which I

I also get an error indicated in when I declare a variable of type

Thank you, Rishi! That helps a lot. And I was able to import that fxp file and compile with no problems.

About the Application container The first tag in an MXML application is either the s:Application tag for the Spark application container, or the mx:Application tag for an MX application container. The application container then becomes the default container for any content that you add to your application. In IntegratedEncoder.mxml, the s:Application is the root tag, whereas IntegratedEncoderController.as is extending the mx: Application. Regards, Rishi Tandon

[flexcoders] Exiting from a Flex app
I realize this is beginner stuff, so I apologize for having to ask this, but how do I terminate a Flex app? The application will be running in a browser. This is a Flash encoding application, that grabs the user's camera, connects it to a net connection, and sends the stream to a Wowza server. The guts of the application are working fine, but I'm putting in error handling now. If the app starts up and either can't find a camera or is not given permission to access the camera I pop up an Alert box warning of the issue, and I'd like to then bail out of the application (perhaps direct the browser to return to the previous page?). I've been able to find instructions on how to terminate an Air application, but not an app running inside a browser.

To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, February 17, 2010, 6:57 PM I think that is because flex is now making inroads into the enterprise and Java is one of the big languages for big enterprises. SAP Business objects product XCelsius is based on Flex and has come with an SDK that lets you integrate Flex components as BOBJ components for dashboarding. SAP Visual Composer is based on flex too. Oracle has some products that use it as well. Now for enterprise's using Java, UI has laways been the weakest link. JSP is decent but nowhere close to Flex. JSF never got that popular ans struts is age-old but still used. The real problems is multitude of technologies there that are complex and still do not do that good a job. Enter Flex with its good integration capabilities, remoting capabilities, browser independent development etc and the really cool nice interface at a quarter of the time... So the strongest contender on UI is trying to replace the weakest performer here. Don't get me wrong...I am a java guy and I love it (a bit of love is lost after the oracle acquisition) but having used Servlets, JSP, Struts and MyFaces I really like Flex. You do not have to know that much Java...just a bit on how servlets work, security and web services.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Pointers
Interesting but not quite the design issue I have in mind.
See http://www.danielpride.com/Vehicles3/Vehicles3.html
(Its still a little crude, basically playing with the tech.
Clicking on a row fills in a series of text boxes.
if you edit a box, I want to shift the state just like it does now
when you click the new button at the top, except now it will go to an edit
state.
The idea is you can examine a large data record by selecting it from a row of
important fields, then edit if you like or just look.
Its easy enough to compare the values field by field
but in my old language I would have written a very small
function with two pointers (new and old)
and then just called the same function in each
focus out, passing in the two pointers to the current
field of the focus event.
This has got to be childs play I would think
but newbie status prevents it from popping out of my head I guess.

Actually that didn't work either. It returned a value if the var was untyped The var would not type I could not use it as an input where I need it.

[flexcoders] How do You find Contracts
I know this is a bit off topic, but I have been honing my Flex skills for two years now and am wondering how to find a way to put them to use. I have tried craigs list posts to no end with zero result. How do you connect with work in Flex and Air? Some Cairngorm would go right good about now :) thanks Dan
[flexcoders] ComboBox intialization problem
I am switching viewstacks from a doubleclick on a data grid to a data entry
screen for the record. Classic database stuff.
Everything works great except for the first time on the ComboBox's, then after
one time everything works. (In one of my old languages it would be an
initialization problem),
All other fields write properly. I am not using Carngorm on this app yet altho
am rapidly headed in that direction, but need to solve this one as is if
possible.
On double click I load the value into a public bindable variable and then
switch viewstack and rely on the binding to fill the value in the Combobox.
(Using it as a popup to select a single value).
[Bindable]
public var locaQuality:String;
[Bindable]
public var locaQualityArr:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(
[ {label:, data:1}, {label:Clean, data:2}}]);
mx:ComboBox id=LocaQualityCol
dataProvider={locaQualityArr} text={locaQuality}
close=closeLocaQuality(event); labelField=label x=246 y=128
width=125 themeColor=#009DFF height=22 textAlign=center/
private function editLoca(event:Event):void {
locaQuality = locaGrid.selectedItem.locaQualityCol;
home.selectedIndex = 3; }
private function closeLocaQuality(event:Event):void{locaQuality =
LocaQualityCol.selectedItem.label;}
Thanks
this one has me stumped !

[flexcoders] Data Transfer between Viewstacks
I am building an app that includes datagrids where when double clicking a record causes the ViewStack to change to a new view to present the data in a form for editing/creating. What is the best way to transfer data between two different view states? Bindable public variables? Where you dump the record field data into public bindable vars then load it into text squares in the new viewstate??? Is there a standard way to do this? Value Objects? Thanks Dan
