RE: [flexcoders] Question about storing a password
If you decide to use a SharedObject then be sure to utilize some level of encryption. Check out http://www.db75.com/blog/archives/000103.htmlfor a basic implementation. I hope this helps.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flash V2 Components and Flex Compatibility
Alex, Thanks for your prompt reply. As it currently stands our components are instantiated non-dynamically (ie from within the Flash IDE). Since we basically design the view in the Flash IDE and register with our controller (AS 2.0 class) then it probably won't take much to refactor intothe Flex framework. Now that I have a definitive answer I can explore the option you suggest.

It instantiates all of the components on-the-fly. In Flash one can easily place components on the stage or in other symbols. If you did that, it probably won't run in Flex as that is non-dynamic and the instantiation sequence in that case is not supported in Flex.Now, if you haven't done that, that implies that your app is pretty muc script-driven, in which case the best option is probably just to copy the script into .as files and compile them from MXML.--- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Dennis Baldwin" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We're in the process of porting some of our existing RIA functionality from Flash to Flex. In certain situations we'd like for pieces of our existing Flash RIA to live inside of Flex. We've had moderate success with this approach, but the biggest problem has been with the V2 components. I know there are interoperability issues when using these components with Flex so I've gone through the process of setting up the flexforflash file within the Flash IDE.

[flexcoders] Flash Drawing API in Flex
Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to utilize the Flash drawing API in Flex. Our current Flash application has a tree with drag/drop functionality. Items are dragged from the tree and then dropped onto a floor plan. In Flash we trigger an event that draws a box and other shapes on the canvas. We dynamically create a movieclip and then draw in it: this.createEmptyMovieClip(square_mc, 1); square_mc.lineStyle(1, 0x00, 100); square_mc.beginFill(0xFF, 100); square_mc.moveTo(0, 0); square_mc.lineTo(50, 0); square_mc.lineTo(50, 50); square_mc.lineTo(0, 50); square_mc.lineTo(0, 0); square_mc.endFill(); How can this be implemented in Flex? I know there are other approaches we can take but I'm curious to know if there's support for more custom stuff, ie dynamically creating movies and drawing in them. I was assuming that I could perform this type of interactivity with the Canvas container, but have been unsuccessful. Thanks, Dennis Yahoo!

Excellent Abdul! I see that I was missing my reference to square_mc.
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
You can use drawing API in flex also. Yes you can do this with Canvas
because it's only container that supports absolute layouting.
Following is simple example:
##DrawingOnCanvas.mxml##
mx:Application width=800 height=600
xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml;
mx:Script
![CDATA[
var squareCount:Number = 0;
function createSquare()
{
var square_mc:MovieClip;
++squareCount;
square_mc = cvs.createEmptyMovieClip(square_mc + squareCount,
squareCount);
square_mc.lineStyle(1, 0x00, 100);
square_mc.beginFill(0xFF, 100);
square_mc.moveTo(0, 0);
square_mc.lineTo(50, 0);
square_mc.lineTo(50, 50);
square_mc.lineTo(0, 50);
square_mc.lineTo(0, 0);
square_mc.endFill();
square_mc._x = Math.random()*200;
square_mc._y = Math.random()*200;
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:Canvas id=cvs width=600 height=400
borderStyle=solid/mx:Canvas
mx:Button label=Create Square click=createSquare()/
/mx:Application
Above code looks too low level, but in Flex you can create custom components
and wrap low-level detailsInfact Flex provide better work-flow..
Hope that helps..
