Guy On 16/01/2012, at 6:31 AM, Ron G wrote: Valdhor: You are right about that. That is precisely why we went with Flex originally (it insulated us from X-Browser issues). But, since we can't count on that lasting, and even Adobe is telling developers to plan on moving to HTML5, it seems like they're pushing us back into x-browser hell. I didn't want to go there, which is why we chose ZKoss. Yes, there is still going to be HTML/JS/CSS ultimately used, but it's how much. Even Flex SWFs are wrapped in HTML and JS when deployed. So, it's not that I'm against using any amount of HTML/JS; it's how little can I get away with to avoid these issues. Even with HTML5 libraries, such as the much touted jQuery, is, to a large degree, an insulator against x-browser issues. If you read the actual jQuery code, it deals with those issues for you. Now, ZK has a ZK Client JS library, which includes jQuery, that is designed to be a communicator mechanism between the client and the bulk of app logic that resides on the server. So, your normal editing and data manipulation that you might write in JS in a full blown HTML5 app is actually stored as Java on the server, and executed as needed per the EDA (event driven architecture). This type of JS is typically what breaks the page on different browsers and versions thereof. By limiting the amount of client-side JS, as does a jQuery type library, yes, you have some exposure to potential x-browser issues, but not as much as a HTML5 app that does everything on the client. And, when there are issues, they can be resolved in the ZK Client library as a patch/fix. So, now it seems to me that developers have several choices. Stick with Flex and you won't break the browser; you just won't be able to have your app viewed by millions on iOS products. If that seems like a better solution that minimal exposure to x-browser issues by using ZK or some other technology, well, that's certainly a choice each company has to make.

I don't know if there are cross browser issues with it seeing as we use older versions of browsers. One of the great features of Flex is we don't have to bother coding for compatibility between different browsers and versions. When IT deployed IE7, Flex applications worked just as they had before. Anyway, just my 2c from the enterprise perspective.

The only visual elements that I added was the Sprite which draws the middle state indicator above the checkbox icon. This Sprite is added at creationComplete (to make sure it's added after all the icons, etc). I do not dynamically draw anything. I'm toggling visibility of my Sprite for the mid-state. When the CheckBox is first drawn it looks correct. A mouseover brings the (default) icon to the top and a mouseout seems to do the same. I fixed the mouseover behavior by adding an event listener to move my sprite back to the top, but this only works on mouseover -- not mouseout. I am very puzzled as to why. Possibly there's another event which fires after mouseout which I'm not aware of? I like to keep default behavior as much as possible, and I don't want to have to draw my own components unless there's no choice... I think that without looking at the implementation of the CheckBox component, it's going to be difficult to know what is going on.

Re: [flexcoders] The Flex DOM?

Or did you mean that how Flex framework manages components? If so, it hardly is a DOM, well, it's way more complex than that. Document Object Model is a very wide definition which is above framework or even language concepts. On the other hand it may be implemented using almost any programming language. So, essentially, what you asked sounds more like do computers have squares? - well, one can answer, sure they do, but this won't be a helping answer, because it's obvious that the question was meant to ask something different. The OP asked about the DOM which would be taken by 99% of the development community as meaning the Javascript DOM for HTML documents. Seems a very reasonable question and easy interpretation to me. Of course I could be wrong, but even so I won't be making any comments about computer squares. Fortunately, others have provided helpful answers. To help the OP more - google flex display list - it's a tree that represents the display in a similar manner to the DOM and you can walk that tree looking for components. While there are similarities with the Javascript DOM, they are tenuous and the techniques that would work well using the Javascript DOM and CSS will need to be revisited with Flex - it's very different. Best. Oleg

A lot gives nobody any clue of how much data is involved. Is there anything in the developers bag of tricks to help with this kind of problem, or is the sheer amount of data too much for the application/SDK/solution to handle? If the crashes take place over time, it sounds as though your application is just consuming resources and not releasing or reusing them. In such cases it's often more a matter of programming technique rather than a flash limitation. You'll need to explain how you handle the data and plot the graphs.

[flexcoders] OTish - partitioning users
Best practices for partitioning users? I'm building an app that will be used by lots of users who will be segregated according to the organisation to which they belong. No real problem there, though I am wondering about the username space. Usernames need to be unique, but the question is should the username be unique across all users, or just users from the same organisation? Seems to me that if it is users from the same organisation then I need a neat way to allow the system to recognise which organisation a user belongs to before they attempt to log in (the user shouldn't have to specifically identify the organisation as well). The only way I can think of to do this is to use differrent URLS for each organisation so that the system can identify the organisation without the user having to knowingly identify themselves. Any thoughts? Paul

Mike wrote: It's too late, the damage is done, but I agree also FWIW. An Adobe VP told me about Flex being the open source branding, and Flash being the commercial product branding. There is no way that customers will figure that out. They have enough trouble understanding that developers are left-brained and designers are right-brained. One should not target a single brand at two classes of individuals who have different educations, different values, different world views, drive different cars and listen to different music. If you believe you know of a top-notch designer who is also a top-notch developer, your standards are too low. One cannot excel at both career paths - humans are too finite. Yes, Macromedia were smart. They established Flex as a high-end serious development system that could compete with other serious development systems and distanced it from flash eye-candy. Adobe have now managed to shift the perception of Flex from top-end to something that's used for eye-candy frivolity with the association with flash. We all know that's not true, but the larger companies looking at serious development wont make the distinction between Flex for serious work and flash for animation. I suspect it'll end up as a case study of not what to do in branding lectures.

Re: [flexcoders] Steve Jobs on Flash .......
It's just commercial tactics. You'd never guess he has his own tied-in development system to support. Why wouldn't he knock flash? hworke wrote: http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20100201/tc_pcworld/stevejobsdissesapplerivalsduringtownhallmeeting Jobs has previously called out Adobe Flash, currently the dominant animation platform on the Web, for being too slow to be useful and Flash Lite, Adobe's versio n of Flash for mobile devices, as not advanced enough for the iPhone. So it's no surprise to hear Jobs called out Flash during Apple's Town Hall, but his language this time sounds a little over the top. Jobs reportedly called Adobe a lazy company, and said that when a Mac crashes it's usually because of Flash. Whether or not that's true, it's clear that Jobs is not a fan of Adobe's multimedia platform. The iPhone is routinely criticized for its inability to render Flash-based Web pages, videos and games, and early criticisms about the iPad also decry the lack of Flash compatibility on Apple's latest device.

As well as that you'll have a route to providing reports and such with the help of coldfusion functionality. I'm not telling anyone not to learn Java, or to adopt ColdFusion, but suggesting Java is nicer to work with or more powerful, is not so clear cut as you would suggest and for some scenarios the opposite is true. I know that for some projects I've worked on, ColdFusion would have cut development costs drastically. I suspect that most Flex projects are driven by PHP rather than Java.

it passes. XML/e4x is supposed to support this out of the box, and it
does -- to a degree. Although, semantically and syntactically, xml1

I think that is broken. Searching for a workaround has popped up very

Start with the static parts of the xml, then in the dynamic parts,

I tried rewriting the function using prototype. It didn't quite work.
Doing some reading, it sounds like this would have worked with old
versions of Flex but no longer with Flex 3. Here's a little example:
public static function createJunk():void {
junk1.prototype[f1] = function ():void { Alert.show(junk1 f1
override); };
junk1.prototype[f2] = function ():void { Alert.show(junk1
f2); };
var j:junk1 = new junk1();
j[f1]();
j[f2]();
}
class junk1 {
import mx.controls.Alert;
public function f1():void { Alert.show(junk1 f1); }
}
The call to f2 works, showing junk1 f2, but the call to f1 doesn't
get overwritten. It still shows junk1 f1.
Doing some reading, I found here
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=04_OO_Programming_12.html
that
fixed properties are always preferred over prototype properties
which explains the behavior.
Does anybody know of a way to use prototype, or some other clever
trick, to overwrite a function at runtime? Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Multiple Flex Apps on One Page
Greg Lafrance wrote: Now that I've been laid off from Adobe (along with 700 others), I would like to seek Flex consulting opportunities, and one possibility is with web designers/developers wishing to offer their clients value added components. My question is that I heard you don't want for example three separate Flex apps on one web page, as it results in three instances of the Flash Player generated, or something like that. So is it necessary to group multiple Flex components into one Flex app to each web page? This can limit placement of Flex components on a web page, because the web page will not be completely done in Flex, as the page must be searchable. I don't think it's necessary - it would be an informed design decision depending on what you were intending to achieve. Part of the decision might also relate to how the components were related and if they needed to communicate. I think there's no definitive answer - it depends on what your components are and how they are driven. I hate it when people post identical questions on multiple lists - it gets so messy.

I've got a form section below that populates with the job data when a row is selected. The form section is for viewing or updating operation dates. (The form also shows some info returned in the xml that I don't show in the grid since I ran out of screen space in the grid.) For updates, I was going to setup a loop to cycle through the webservice update operation. However, where I'm stumped is passing the query info needed. The SQL statement is straight forward where the parameters needed are jobnum and something to identify the operation. And this is where I'm stumped. I need to get the operationID from the operation table and I'm thinking it's not a good idea to query that into the view. Why not? I don't see what the problem would be. That it would be better to have a seperate query for the operations that I could then call via another webservice or webservice operation call. But how would I get that related that into the form? Or I guess I could get the operationID in the grid, but hide those columns. Your datagrid can have a source containing the operations id - it's not compulsory for a datagrid to display all the data from the data source. The other idea was change the View to only show the operationID's and then have another webservice to relate the operationID to the operation dates. But that mean needing to have my datagrid have 2 seperate datasources or someway to merge the data from two seperate services. Don't do it - it's totally unnecessary. Any insight is greatly appreciated. No particular insight - just an opinion - I really don't see the difficultly. Paul
[flexcoders] Variable page sizes in a browser.
I have a client who often points to html websites as examples of what they like and (as you all know) the browser page always fits the content (with or without scrollbars). Anyone been successfully building flex or flash apps using javascript to mimic html page behaviour - shrinking the browser page or forcing browser scrolling? I'm wondering whether this can really be done reliably or not, before I set out to experiment with variable size layouts. In case anyone misunderstands, I'm not concerned about the user resizing the browser, but having the browser react to the flash stage being resized under program control. Thanks, Paul

I am thinking of storing that subset in a second array, but that is not mandatory - performance is key in this piece of the app. If I did use a second array, how light-weight would it be, are arrays extremely effecient constructs in general? Also, in terms of the custom objects, I believe that they would all be linked by reference, and not duplicated in the second array - is this correct, and does that make the array basically the same as if it were storing simple integers? Overall, is this the most effecient way of getting a subset of an array? All objects are accessed by reference and essentially your proposed array would be an array of pointers, so it's about as lightweight as it can get. Paul Thanks!

It just seems that adobe is shooting themselves in the foot by not providing a way for their web developing customers (us!) to make money. Seriously, how do people make money with flex? Seems more and more a waste of time for us without this key point resolved. That's ridiculous. I think if advertising is a priority, you could let flex have part of the html page and serve ads there, either under control of the flex application, using javascript, or just independently with javascript, with or without an iframe. I think a bit of imagination is required. I think most flex developers make money from things that are useful for something rather than advertising bling. Paul

Re: [flexcoders] JavaScript can't call Flex
bgamblin wrote:
I've got a SWF, embedded in an object, just like the standard Flex HTML. In
another section of the same HTML, I have JavaScript that calls a function in
the SWF. However, when the call is made, everything stops. That is to say,
all code written after that call is ignored, and the function itself doesn't
execute.
// In the HTML
function JavaCall()
{
getFlexApp('SWFName').callFlexFunc();
}
function getFlexApp(appName)
{
if (navigator.appName.indexOf (Microsoft) !=-1) return window[appName];

ExternalInterface.addCallback(callFlexFunc, calledFunc);
// outside creation function
public function calledFunc(event:Event = null):void

// Execution doesn't get this far
}
I should note that the object and embed that hold the SWF are set to
allowScriptAccess=always. It's not something I intend to ship with, but I'm
grasping at straws at this point.
Every tutorial I've seen on the subject seems to indicate that I'm doing just
what I should be doing. So I have no idea what could be wrong. Any help would
be appreciated.
I suspect you're calling the function before the SWF is properly loaded.
Get the Flex app to call a javascript function to say when it's ready to
run, only then call any functions in the SWF.

By not assingning the variable b, you leave it referencing nothing - null; ( b is Date ) is now asking to check that a variable pointing at nothing (null) is a Date. It is not a Date, so the result is false. You ask about knowing the variables type - well you already do - you've told the compiler that b will hold a Date.

Re: [flexcoders] Load image only when visble
I think the real problem is that you are trying to control loading behaviour and the display at the same time. I would delegate the loading to a seperate class (an image loader) that would be responsible for loading all the images and when an individual image has loade add the item to the display component. You can then have control over how many images are being loaded concurrently at any one time. I don't think there's an out of the box solution for you, though there are some bulk loader classes about.

Re: [flexcoders] Pure MVC vs Cairgorm

Would you say a Ferrari is best or a Mini? If you want to impress expensive women, then the Ferrari would do well, but if you want to go shopping and be able to negotiate narrow uneven streets, I'd go for the Mini. As it is with cars, the same follows for software. Some people like PureMVC, some people go with the Adobe-approved Cairngorm. Look them both up on google and check them out.

So what are these frameworks you speak of, anyway? I keep seeing references to Cairgorm and others, but I have no idea what they'd be used for... Or how... Is it like an add-on to Flex Builder, or something? No, they are ways for building software that follow the MVC software pattern. Give google a spin. Laurence MacNeill Mableton, Georgia, USA
