Re: [flexcoders] Re: Will Microsoft's new Silverlight Player Kill our beloved Flex ?
could do more with Adobe technology, instead they had to shop around and thankfully WebORB folks have a descent product to cope with this burden. LiveCycle is just not ready to be slotted into RIA as it's still somewhat foreign to the RIA momentum. It's forcing the issue. Microsoft has more to learn, and I'll be sure to flog them where I can to make that happen. I'm in Seattle next week and i'm not there to eat lunch/dinners and party, I have reasons and it's to do with Web 2.0 and RIA :) -- Regards, Scott Barnes -- Regards, Scott Barnes http://www.mossyblog.com -- John C.

I'm not saying it's not worth the persuit (I think MSFT has some stuff in this space as well, forgive me as I've not cared to look into what they are) but do so *NOT* at the expense of FLEX/RIA development world-wide. 2002 RIA Theory was written down, people bought it (I for one, hey he also was the brains behind CF, so I owe my mortgage to his last idea, so figured he'd be worth the second). It's 2007 and RIA is supposed to be bigger! Yet, isn't as widespread. So, Microsoft are looking to give developers access to three tiers of User Experience through a more mature approach that goes beyond the runtime stck with a focus on the developers initially, get them on firm footing, then go look at the higher ends of town as by this point developers, whom are just as important, have validated the substance of the technology on merit. Good Experience AJAX / HTML / CSS Great Experience Silverlight Ultimate Experience Windows Presentation Foundation ASP.NET http://asp.net/ 2.0 has reduced effort by up to two-thirds since ASP 1.0 was produced, I say this as being a Coldfusion developer for 9 years I'm amazed at how fluent one is able to go from ASP to AJAX, so I can only hint that going from ASP.NEThttp://asp.net/AJAX to Silverlight is going to be enormous in productivity gains and with the right tools, this hopefully should seem effortless. Steve.B looked like a loon when he jumped up and down about Developers, Developers, Developers but he was right, this is where the focus should be at the start of technology, expand when you get their blessing first and this is based off of uptake. Validating RIA? Hate to break the news to one and all, but Microsoft's focus is to stimulate the online/offline application market whom have been using DHTML solutions for years, to get more robust and scaleable by offering the above three tiers of experience potential. Flash has it's own agenda, and Microsoft isn't about to crush that - hence I why I echo, it's about co-existence not changing technology stacks. Adobe make great output, but I worry at times about the input as I know they can do better (similar with Microsoft, only reverse, great at input but at times need work on output).

It sounds like you're creating a custom scale9 which isn't necessary.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex_skins_07.html (best article
yet for skinning; that I've read, at least)
That page shows you how to use CSS to utilize scale9. Hope it helps...

help me.
What I am trying to make is resizable frame. Therefor I have created class
that extends UIComponent and I am creating 8 Sprite objects one for each
corner and one for each side and drawing graphics needed.
Concept seems to be alright, except that I am receiving this error, no
matter how I try:
ArgumentError: Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid.
First of all I tried to set scale9Grid to whole component, then I even
tried to create container Sprite in which i placed all other Sprites and
apply scale9Grid to that object but still same.
Structure of my class is like this:
override protected function createChildren():void {
//create all Sprites, add subsprites to container Sprite, add container
Sprite to UIComponent display list
}
override protected function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void {
// call function that draws graphics and set scale9Grid property
}
I guess at that point I am setting scale9Grid it already should be
perfectly fine, and component should be initialized.
Or am i missing something here?
Any help will be appreciated.

Re: [flexcoders] Creating Events
Here is a custom event class. Just change LevelEvent to whatever you want

only need this if you need to pass some sort of data with your event. You
could easily do dispatchEvent(new Event(myEventName)) and it'll work fine.
package events{

public class LevelEvent extends Event{
public var level:Object;
public function LevelEvent(level:Object, type:String,

Yeah, a lot of these books were written during beta days so things may be

versa; one of the two is right). Then again, utils vs util COULD be a
mistype. :-)

In short, Flex builder 2.0 (standalone) installs but does not work on Vista RTM. It simply gives an error message on startup telling me to check a log file. After checking the log file it basically says it can find the Java package. I've found 2 workarounds that made it work for me. I'm currently using option A. A) Download and install the Sun JDK 5.0(9) and Eclipse 3.2.1 SDK, then simply install Flex builder using the Eclipse plug-in option. B) Install Flex builder on your Vista machine and on another Windows XP machine (or VM). Then copy all the files from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 2\ from the Windows XP box over the same files on the Windows Vista box. You may also have to edit the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 2\configuration\.settings\com.adobe.flexbuilder.standalone.prefs file and change the flexbuilder.lastWorkspace path to reflect the new C:\Users folder in Vista. The last step should only be required if you've previously run Flex builder on the XP box. I hope my experience can help anyone else who may be having these problems.

None of the demo's I've seen seemed copied but we probably saw different one's. Interactive Designer is where you can get a functional product. It may not have everything you need but it is a good start for a prototype. Anything complicated (beyond button clicks, 3D rotations, etc) is needed in Visual Studio. The thing to understand is you don't need to export anything. The same files are used between all of the products.

Native database support, app signing (which I don't think Apollo will have), etc. WPF/E -vs- Flash/Flex * No argument...WPF/E has a LONG way to go. Flash/Flex wins without a doubt.

[flexcoders] Drag/Drop resets Grid ItemRenderer
Ok...here's the scenario. Grid 1 accepts drops from Grid 2. Grid1 has an inline item renderer which is a combo box. The combo is a custom component that filters an ArrayCollection based on an ID passed to it. So...this works great. I have the grid saving data on drop, updating level (from the combo) on change, and deleting (on delete button click). Very usable...ACCEPT...when you drop another item from Grid 2 on Grid 1. :-( It jacks up the combo and forces all visible combos to have the same exact dataset (filtered to the last drop). :-( :-( :-( Mind you, this ONLY happens when I drag multiple. If I just drag one item, everything stays as it should. What is the magic key I need to press in order to get the grid to not reset all combos when a new multi-item drop happens? BTW, I've come back and worked on this email a couple times so ignore any inconsistencies...I'm tired. :-(-- John C.

Re: [flexcoders] VideoPlayer Example
You can view a sample I built right around the time Flex released so there may be other ways to do things. Ignore all of the graphic stuff. This is a very simple example and not even close to being a full video player.

I know what showEffect is. That was merely to clarify my point/need. Nothing personal but I don't get down with copy/paste in place of learning something. My original question is for knowledge sake.

[flexcoders] AMF3 Remoting+CF w/ same CF session?
I looked through the archives and I'm not 100% sure anyone has answered this. Yes or no? (or Yes/No/Kinda and here's why/Kinda and here's why not) When I make my Remoting call, CAN CF use the same session the user has in the regular browser.cfm's? Meaning, Flex is not the whole site. It is merely a widget (well, collection of widgets). For this one in particular, we HAVE to have the same session so we can get the current users info. Before this happened automagically for you.

They have said on this forum that they do not intend to do a Java version of their AMF3 product. For me, that is the equivalent of end of lifing their java product. They did not say the reason ( i.e. for the sake of not competing with adobe) but their reason isnt really that important. The fact is, according to them, they wont be doing any more java.

Re: [flexcoders] WebOrb for Rails
If the founder says so, then so it is. I'd be curious to know if they will ditch their .net implementation if Adobe does one (same for Ruby, etc).
Also, your claim as to the .net implementation 2 years ago is hard to place against a new product (FDS) years later.

It is the MidnightCoders direct intention not to compete with Adobe.
I am sure that Adobe is not doing a .NET remoting solution because I was told 2 and half years ago that they were releasing one (in Oct 04) and it didn't materialized. The code name was Wonder Twin. The twin didn't make it. Our Macromedia sales rep confirmed the time of death when we asked them about it. It's not coming.

A lot of people in the community stated the Adobe merger took the competition out of the market due to overlapping technology (Fireworks-Photoshop, DW-Go Live, etc). Now, unless WebORB is said to NEVER overlap with the technologies Adobe is implementing then I will understand. If not, there is overlap. Oh yeah, you might want to change .NET to YES and YES according to Allen. I don't know if Adobe is working on one or not but I don't see why they wouldn't. So, a question for you: if you build a product and someone else builds the same product, is that competition? I say yes. Is Fluourine a competitor to Adobe's $900 (or whatever it is) .NET implementation? Uhyeah. :-) Disclaimer: I'm not here to argue. From a business point of view, I just don't agree with you Clint and, seemingly, Adobe doesn't either (based on your comment about Adobe being uncomfortable).

Re: [flexcoders] Re: WebOrb for Rails
Good question Barry. I've thought about the same thing. Honestly, I doubt anyone build one in Eclipse but apps like Sepy, etc can now integrate Flex as a supported language. They def' are not in the market to get rich on Builder. You don't get rich off a product by giving a free solution to the product. More player downloads? Sure. They are pushing the Flash Platform. Get'em in the door and push more things their way and get them to buy/use Adobe product(s). This is all speculation but this was definitely the best move for the community (free SDK; low priced Builder). why didn't Adobe release remoting solutions themselves? What do you mean? I take it http://www.adobe.com/go/flashremotingisn't what you are talking about? Do you mean more languages? Do you mean more languages forFDS?I'd like to see theAdobe FDS version support more languages.

So, who should write Ruby remoting tutorials - Adobe? Adobe (and Macromedia before) are (IMHO) doing a lousy job in promoting ColdFusion to other than the already converted. How so? Pretty much every tutorial out there focuses on a Java and/or CF backend.I'm talking more generally, not just remoting with CF tutorials.Besides, CF is an Adobe product and deserves support on how to tietheir technology together, especially for the price of the CF licences. If Alaire still owned CF and not the same company that hasFlash/Flex, would anyone on this list give ColdFusion a serious secondlook?I'm looking forward to Bruce Chizen (or any other Adobe very-big-wig) giving an interview and mentions ColdFusion in the same breath asFlash or Flex.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: WebOrb for Rails
Ahh...we're on a Flex list. I should've realized that question was Flex related. :-) No, there isn't a solution for Flex that covers a broad scope of languages. AMF3, what I assume we're talking about, is implemented into AMFPHP and Fluourine already so there is no need to reinvent the wheel. They have the Remoting MX product covered already by the community products (AMFPHP and Fluourine). I seriously doubt anyone bought Remoting MX anyway; probably why no upgrade since MX. $999 was a bit much on that front. AMF0, on the other hand, is supported by AMFPHP, CF, and Fluourine as well. So, I don't see where the prob is here. You can do remoting in the three major web languages. Ruby/Rails is coming up on the horizon and, as always, the community has provided a product (WebORB) to support it. Is the issue that Adobe hasn't done it? If so, this is an argument/discussion I'll bow out of since I don't work for Adobe. BTW, almost anything enterprise is expensive to scale, except to..err..enterprises. :-) CF being overkill is an opinion by all means so I'll leave it alone.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: WebOrb for Rails
OpenAMF and OpenPHP = Enterprise? Again, an opinion.Yes, I left off part of your sentence because I figured I was responding to you so no need to repeat every word. CF for Remoting is not overkill. Yes, I disagree. You don't have to use the enormous list of CF features to do Remoting. You use CFC's and you're done. Same with PHP, Rails, .NET, Java, whatever, and etc. All of them have great features. You don't need to use the enormous list of _ features to do Remoting.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: WebOrb for Rails
I agree, they should push FDS. The question is, should they push their version or Midnights version? This is the same issue with AMFPHP. MM didn't push it but the acknowledged it and even had some tutorials on how to use it. To ask a company to push someone else's product that does the same as their product is a big request. Maybe they'll bake it into their product and maximize their revenue by reaching more languages or they could forget the revenue and stifle their FDS development since someone else already did it. This isn't going to go anywhere, seriously. Adobe is going to do what is best for the biz then for the community, like pretty much any biz.

Its simply not an option.If the goal is to increase the number of Flex developers, why wouldyou shut out (or at least actively ignore) everyone not on a CF/Javastack? That makes no sense.

My gut feeling is that the good sales figures thrown around on CF7 licences are only reflecting churning/upgrades. Faced with a FREE solution in RonR with FREE remoting, for core features ColdFusion starts to look really expensive. The fact that ColdFusion has remoting too is now a valueless selling point: Remoting is now a me too product. and yes, I realise RonR and CF are not equal, CF seems to have better integration to both Java and (hopefully) other Adobe product. But for core features and a section of the development market I've got a strong hunch that RonR will eat deep into the PHP world and - by extention - affect CF sales.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex + .NET Web Services irritations
I'm using WS because it is what was created for the project. The next revision will be using remoting.Serializing the returned data just seems like an extra step that is unnecessary. If I can return a List of User objects and Flex receives it and I can access it as an ArrayCollection, etc then why would I add 2 more steps (serializing and deserializing)? I'm not saying there isn't a place for it. I just don't see it.On 9/12/06, Sam Shrefler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: John: I'm a little confused by your reply. Could you educate me why you are using WS's if you feel you could use remoting? Also, JSON plugs right into Web Services.

[flexcoders] ViewStack in TabNavigator + autoresize
I have a TabNavigator that, in all tabs, load separate custom components with ViewStacks in them.//TabNavigator //Canvas //Forms:MyForm / //Canvas//TabNavigator That's the main component that is shown after login. Presently there are 4 main tabs. The tab in question (only one with substantial content/layout complete) is like this: //Canvas //VBox //ToggleButtonBar //ViewStack //hbox //TileList//CanvasNow, for 1...the TabNavigator will resize but not all of the way around the TileList. My main application isn't scrolling (only certain internal elements) when the content is too big. There is a 2nd state that adds a Panel inside of the hbox. This causes the TileList to resize and the panel slides into place. The ViewStatck then shows scroll bars (vertical and horizontal) since the panel is pretty big (namely vertically). The TabNavigator will load properly but it doesn't scale vertically with the TileList. It is longer than the TabNavigator (which stays within screen of the browser; even though I don't have a constraint on it). What I've tried:- removing all widths/heights from parent items of TileList- removing all constraints (top, bottom, etc) from parent items of TileList- set specific widths/heights of numerous combinations of items - set TabNavigator to resize with content- etc, etc, etcAnyone have any ideas here?

Thanks Duncan Peter Farland wrote On 06/06/06 15:42,: If you're using a raw NetConnection, then... no, not natively from the client. There are third party tools out there that sniffing AMF over HTTP traffic. However, I'd first try using some of the utilities that Flex has to dumping an object graph to a string: import mx.utils.ObjectUtil; ... trace(ObjectUtil.toString(result)); If you were using FDS channels and messaging then you could take advantage of the mx.logging framework by creating a trace target to dump the traffic out to the flashlog.txt file. A simple way to do this is to add mx:TraceTarget level=0 / to your MXML to see everything that was logged... however if you want to filter this information you'll need to read up on the ASDoc on logging targets and use some script to customize the information being displayed. FWIW, NetConnection Debugger relied on some mix-ins in your app that intercepted trace calls to an underlying NetConnection and then broadcast this information on a local connection to the NCD... Flex 2 has moved beyond this architecture and now uses a messaging framework and a logging API that decouples how a request is made from the service being contacted. I would love to see people in the community writing their own implementations of mx.messaging.Channel or perhaps a simple mx.logging.ILoggingTarget that reported info back to the old NCD!

Re: [flexcoders] Can Flex record audio locally?
So you can't receive callbacks from .Net when the waves change, etc? Maybe even have Flex use NetStream to connect with .Net to play the live stream back. I don't know.

Re: [flexcoders] Convert AJAX to Flex?
Anatole, you might want to look into Atlas, Backbase, Spry, etc (Ajax frameworks).

If you arebuilding few screens with functionality that has to be delivered to billions of people, use AJAX. If you have to build APPLICATION - with hundreds ofpages, reports, dashboards, etc. please read on.RIA requires a lot of client side code. Compiled Framework.swc is 2MB , theUI-only sources are over 7MB. The UI portion of framework we have written in 1999-2002 was over 3MB- including DataGrid, Report, and 70 other controls.Robustness and performance of _javascript_: It is too slow and there is nomachanism in the browser to insure the competeness of _javascript_ downloads. You do not get exception if _javascript_ has not been loaded. There is no wayto recover other then wrap code with watchdog code and try to check if thesecondary code was loaded/try to reload otherwise. Of course, there is no guarantee that watchdog code is loaded either.As a result, even theslightest problems on the network level require huge efforts on theframework level. Even if cached, _javascript_ has to be parsed andpre-compiled on every page refresh. Add browser incompatibilities, typing errors that have not been caught by compiler because there is nocompiler/strong code checking) and add really big application code base andyou will get my point.It is all curable on the system level. For demanding applications we had to develop following system components outside the browser (just to supportAJAX and business needed functionality missing in the browser)1. reliable pluggable protocol on the top of HTTP(s) to support guaranteed delivery/caching of data and code2. cached factories for _javascript_ to allow faster instantiation ofclient-side _javascript_3. print tempates enabler to allow full control of the printing environmentwithout browser limitations. The list goes on and onBottom line, serious AJAX apps require Flash Player equivalent. You can tryto build it in _javascript_, but after trying for 5 years I began to think itis unrealistic. We tried to get browser makers adopt the forementioned enhancements, but they are pusing alternatives to AJAX of their own, soFlash seems the only option with enough market penetration.Sincerely,Anatole Tartakovsky- Original Message - From: Tom Chiverton [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 4:55 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Convert AJAX to Flex?

Re: [flexcoders] Convert AJAX to Flex?
Hopefully 100% of the server-side is reuseable (not going against Tom...just a hope). If the Ajax site/app is done right then you will only have to change your view (front-end). In this case, build the UI with Flex and connect it to your backend...done! It SHOULDN'T be a big issue but it seriously depends on your backend. Here's a thought (keep in mind I know nothing about ThinkCAP):Use ExternalInterface in Flex to talk to ThinkCAP. This way your backend has NOTHING to do with your front-end. ThinkCAP would play as a proxy of sorts by allowing data retrieval, etc via _javascript_ calls.

[flexcoders] F2B3: NetStream onMetaData request
(no real request...just a wouldn't it be nice; explain if I'm missing something though)Wouldn't it be nice to add an event listener for onMetaData? This is so we don't have to do the following (per LiveDocs): an instance of a Netstream subclass. Netstream is a sealed class, which means that properties or methods cannot be added to a Netstream object at runtime. However, you can create a subclass of Netstream and define your event handler in the subclass or make the subclass dynamic and add the event handler function to an instance of the subclass.the object referenced by the client property of a Netstream instance.Creating a subclass isn't a prob but it sure would be nice to use an event listener. :-) -- John C.

[flexcoders] Autoinstall not guaranteed?
We had a client who ordered a content management system in beta 2 (worked fine too). It launched just before beta 3 and there were updates needed after 3 came out. So, we upgraded it to beta 3 which was a perfect time for the client to upgrade their computers to FP9. The problem is it didn't work. In IE it just kept repeating the process but never actually installed the player even after restarting IE as directed. In Firefox it would either throw an error about the Timer class not being available or just sit their blank (normal Flex bg). So, is autoinstall not complete? Has there been any upgrades from FP8?

[flexcoders] FB2: Uncaught exception in compiler
I know this has been beat to the ground on several messages in this forum but I wanted to see what the general consensus is for this issue in reference to the final product (or even Beta 3).I compiled my app perfectly fine until the other day when I got An internal build error has occurred. Please check the error log. That is the error that was beat up on several posts. Thanks to one of those posts I was able to see what the actual error showed under Plugin Development perspective. The actual error message is Uncaught exception in compiler and the stack trace shows java.lang.IllegalArgumentException as the first line with about 15 or so lines after detailing the actual line numbers, etc (but not of my files, of the plugin files). The odd thing is I can close Eclipse (after error shows) compile the app and it'll compile fine. The swf loads in the browser, shows my background color with Loading bar, then reverts to the default Flex background color. After that, I get the error on all subsequent messages. I've used Clean, deleted the /bin directory, copied files to new folders, deleted files (crucial one's [replaced later] and old one's), renamed vars that may conflict, etc, etc, etc. Anything anyone has suggested online regarding a possible fix I have tried. I even reinstalled FB 2 plugin (from exe and local update site)! I also uninstalled data services The issue turned out to be AS files named the same as my MXML docs. I compiled for several weeks with these same exact filenames (LoginForm.mxml [the component] and LoginForm.as [the mx:Source'd AS file]) and no error. I'm not sure exactly what prompted this error but it came out. Anyways, no real need for response here. It is more-so to possibly help others and/or strike up convo with Adobe folks to better help fix this compiler bug.-- John C.

[flexcoders] FB 2 Beta 2 on Windows Vista Build 5308
Has anyone toyed with getting FlexBuilder 2 Beta 2 working on Vista (build 5308)? I'm almost convinced it has to do with the ini file looking for /Application Data in the users workspace path but changing that didn't help (Vista doesn't use /Application Data, it is now AppData and inside Users/{username}/).
Either way, I've beat my brain enough with a fix so I figured I'd ask here. I guess I should post the error I get as well. Oh, I also run it as Administrator and even tried XP SP2 compatability...still no go. :-(

[flexcoders] Re: FB 2 Beta 2 on Windows Vista Build 5308
I forgot to mention this is not the plugin. The plugin won't let me beyond the eclipse directory screen. Even though my path is right, Eclipse runs fine (after reinstall), and I'm running as an admin it still fails.
Just thought I'd add another piece to the puzzle.Thanks in advance...On 4/21/06, John C. Bland II

Re: [flexcoders] Flex - Mac - Database (Semi OT)
Zinc actually connects to more than just MySQL. Zinc™ v2.5 can connect to Microsoft Access* and MySQL Databases, and with added ADO support, you can practically connect to any Database Type! Zinc™ v2.5 supports SQL statements which means that you can execute all INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and SELECT commands on your database connections. There's no need for server side scripts such as PHP, ASP or CGI as Zinc™ v2.5 creates a direct connection with the Database.On 12/13/05, Tom Ortega [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Zinc provides a way to talk to mySQL directly with no need for a middle tier. Of course, you'd have to precompile your swf to have Zinc compile it. Mixing MDMScript in with your flex code, asp, etc. might prove a bit time-consuming though. You'd have to include the MDMScript in the flex file, compile the flex file into a swf, take the swf and wrap it up in Zinc, and then finally test. If you found a mistake, you'd have to do it all over again. Possible, in theory. Practical, I'm not to sure of. -Tom On 12/13/05, Steve Cox [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All, I'm currently looking at ways in which we could create a standalone app using flex and a database, for Mac OSX and PC.

The flex-based desktop app would be wrapped using something like 'Zinc' to provide the flash player etc. The issue I'm having is working out how I'm going to do the database on a mac. On a PC we could simply bundle a database and perhaps an ASP tier which could do the interaction. However I'm at a total loss with a mac, I don't even use the things. Has anyone done anything similar? My initial research would suggest a flex app, a java layer and perhaps a database such as SQLite. However I'm not a JAVA programmer, I'm usually .NET and Flex.

Jesse, $20/hr is what I pay people to dig holes in my yard! Anyone in the US with development skills working for that is depressing the market and seriously shortchanging themselves. Since FLEX is aimed directly at the enterprise market and is fundamentally a presentation-tier platform, you could use Java/.NET UI developer rates as a rough guide. As I investigate the FLEX market, it appears to be closely tied to the Java market since many Java guys are adopting FLEX. I just took a FLEX class where I was the only Flash guy in a room full of Java people, and the assumption was that a FLEX developer would have deep Java experience. As one of the old school Flash guys, I see FLEX paying more than Flash development for someone who knows AS2.0 inside and out. Flash seems to top out at about $85 an hour for contract in the US on large projects, and Flex trumps that just in the few jobs I have looked at (for the NYC area). Of course salary is a whole other beast, and I have no experience there due to my allergy to W2 forms.

Re: [flexcoders] My Flex Site Mockup - considerations?
Jason, in reference to the design you might want to look at moving the icons inside of the button. This would replace print with the printer icon so your buttons will read [icon] summary and [icon] article or maybe nix article all together and just have the printer icon. The same goes for the add/remove. Not sure if you were looking for critiques or not. Hope it helps...On 11/17/05, Merrill, Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm a Flash IDE guy and have only produced simple apps with the Flexbuilder 2 Alpha which use XML. Anyhoo, I have 2 questions. I have created a site mockup of a Flex app in Photoshop for one of my clients. See it here: http://cmt.icfconsulting.com/temp/navyHRPortal_2.jpg Question 1: The client can only run Flash player 7, so knowing that and what I have mocked up, would you look at the following screenshot and tell me if everthing I am proposing in this graphic is possible in Flex 1.5 (obviously assuming we will have easy access to the data etc.) – including embedding the graphics and fonts in the tabs. I have played with Flexbuilder 2 and the 8.5 player, but not Flex 1.5. Question 2: I probably already know the answer, but can you run Flex 1.5 on a server in one place (say here, on the development side), produce the necessary .swfs, and then take the .swfs to another server that does not have the Flex server to deploy the app? Or are the .swfs strictly built at runtime? Or are there legal considerations for that? This isn't a requirement, but it would be nice to only have to buy Flex 1.5 server here, and give our clients the .swfs instead of telling them they need to also buy the Flex server to run this. I am guessing though, that the Flex server and the Flex app have to be on the same machine. Right? If so, I guess what are my options for something *kinda* like this – realistically – the Flash IDE or AJAX? If Flash 8.5 were an option, I would hold out for Flexbuilder 2, but it's not with them since they can only run the Flash 7 player.

I basically want two items on the same row but one of them aligned right and one aligned left (labels). Hey John - this is what we'd call a "bad code smell" and is one of the MXML Refactorings we talk about. Rather thanuse a grid to achieve your layout (grids can be quite an expensive component for the layout manager to deal with) why don't you look intothe mx:Spacer / component andplay withwidths, so that you can have the Spacer consume all the space necessary to push your rightmost component to the far right...? ie: mx:Label / mx:Spacer/mx:Label / Make sense ?

1st App - Questions
Well, I fumbled my way through the help docs and put together a pretty
coo lil' app (for my first one at least; file attached). I couldn't
think of anything useful to do so I looked at the samples and saw the
Blog Reader. So, I figured I'd read the MXNA feeds and display them. If
someone could critique the app and let me know how everything looks
that'd be great. I wanna learn how to do things right from jump.
Being I went through the entire process I now have some questions about
functionality.
Questions:
1) Without using ActionScript, can I make text in a TextArea clickable?
Code excerpt
-
mx:TextArea x=0 y=0
text={info.selectedItem.link}newline{info.selectedItem.excerpt}
width=100% height=100% editable=false/
-
How can I make the info.selectedItem.link a link?
2) How can I get the NetConnection Debugger open? Do I need to import
mx.remoting.debug.NetDebugger?
3) Is there a way to take an object (Array or RecordSet) and make that a
Tree's dataProvider without XML'ing it up? I saw a few posts in here
about it but not sure if they answered it (brief looks).
Ex -
function blah(result){
myTree.labelField = name;
myTree.dataProvider = result;
}
I'm not sure if labelField is an option but I did see earlier setting
the dataProvider worked but everything was merely an item and I had no
control over the folders. What I would really be doing is this:
function blah(result){
var len:Number = result.length;
for(var i:Number = 0; i len; i++){
result.items[i].posts =
mxnaCFC.getFeedsByCategory(result.items[i].Category);
}
myTree.dataProvider = result;
}
This way I would have an object with each feed stored in the respective
category. I may create my own cfc locally to handle this and return to
Flex but I'd like to know my options.
Well, it's late and I still gotta bust some suds so I better get off
this thing. :-) Thx all for any responses/time invested in this post.
Thx!

RE: [flexcoders] 1st App - Questions
Title: Message
Hey
thx Jester. I found the script tag fast but quickly went away from it because I
was falling back on my crutch (AS) and wanted to learn mxml.
1.
Nah, I mean making a URL of the text.
Ex -
Click
here to blah blah blah.
'Click
here' would be a link. Like wrapping a tags around it or something.
2. Ok
coo. I'll research.
3.

Very interesting to see the opposite approach of
me; no Script tags. Your app itself seems to work very well; the service
itself is dog slow, but you have the cursor, resizing, alert on error...
nice!
1. It's already selectable; do you mean
editable? It's set to false by default.
2. That's what I did... but I installed it
custom; don't know if the one that comes with FlexBuilder 1.5 is the sameway
or not. Bet it's in the docs somewhere.
3. ??? :: shrugs ::
Nice job, mangxt!
