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.

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.

Good Idea, it would be piling one hysteria on top of another so to speak ;) I urge you to consider I wrote this just before IE 8. Still runs pretty good. My first, a little embarrassing internally to me now but still. Compare way back then to the future you are asking for now.

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). Compare what we have today vs back in IE6 or even IE8. -Alex From: danielpr...@yahoo.com [flexcoders] flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Reply-To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, August 19, 2014 12:05 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Future Scope of Flex I certainly wish you the best with the javascript implementation. 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. There were some of the most brilliant programmers with some of the greatest contributions by software developers ever. We have witnessed a modern equivalent of the Salem Witch trials on this one for whatever reasons, and the amusing part is that we actually think we are advanced beyond that. Dan Pride P.S. Why can't women advocates get away with this once in a while :)
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?

I've been a polyglot developer and architect for 20 years. One thing in technology is constant - that is change. Adapt. It is childish to cling to a technology like a fanboy. Dynamic languages use different paradigms than strongly typed languages. In these contexts functional styles and extension through composition are favored over extension through inheritance. 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. I'm just saying that as a seasoned flex dev that feared moving to JS - in my experience - it was an easy transition. But whatever. Have a great day! And I accept the apology you certainly forgot to add by calling me a manager :). I realize it's hard to be civil when someone is wrong on the internet.

Typical of a JS advocate, no real knowledge of object oriented structures and concepts. Bet this is by another manager type that doesn't know an array from a variable (actually that WOULD be the same level of knowledge in this case wouldn't it.)
