Re: [flexcoders] Why Flex now?
This is basically all the rats abandoning ship in my opinion, here's an article from just over a month ago from Adobe that completely contradicts what they announced last Friday, how is this possible that they didn't have foresight to see this coming,?! http://blogs.adobe.com/flex/2011/08/flex-where-were-headed.html Farid On Tue, Nov 15, 2011 at 12:04 PM, Haykel BEN JEMIA hayke...@gmail.comwrote: ** Because today HTML5 is not yet ready and will not be ready for the next 5-10 years in my opinion. There are still many things you can only do in Flash and many other that are very difficult to do with HTML5. In my opinion HTML5 is a hype anyway, some new tags, css and js elements and functions. Browser-compatibility, layout, animation, video and much more is handled very easily with Flex/Flash. Should we replace the strong-typed and compiled AS 3 language with JavaScript? I'm working on a video chat application that uses FMS and P2P multicats, can you do that with HTML?? Personnally I don't think Flex is dead, the Flex community will continue to implement it and there will be some companies offering support for it. Only when Adobe stops the development of the Flash player for the Desktop I will say that Flash is really dead. Let's help the Spoon project and make Flex better than ever!

Today I just saw this response from Adobe: http://blogs.adobe.com/flex/2011/11/your-questions-about-flex.html *Does Adobe recommend we use Flex or HTML5 for our enterprise application development? *In the long-term, *we believe HTML5 will be the best technology for enterprise application development*. We also know that, currently, Flex has clear benefits for large-scale client projects typically associated with desktop application profiles. Given our experiences innovating on Flex, we are extremely well positioned to positively contribute to the advancement of HTML5 development, starting with mobile applications. In fact, *many of the engineers and product managers who worked on Flex SDK will be moving to work on our HTML efforts*. We will continue making significant contributions to open web technologies like WebKit jQuery, advance the development of PhoneGap and create new tools that solve the challenges developers face when building applications with HTML5. Emphasis mine. If anyone has followed any game or application development where 'many members' of the team are switched to the next greatest thing, that normally means there are few maintenance developers for the existing product and not much new innovation to it. The company wants its best and brightest working on its future, not supporting its past. Combine that with the facts that Adobe bought PhoneGap and released Edge preview. It's not hard to put all these facts together and see that long term they want an IDE framework for app development in HTML5. Perhaps Flex5 will be an HTML5 version of Flex as they start putting together html5 components Outside of having to support IE6 why would you choose to start a project in Flex today?
[flexcoders] Problems installing Flash Builder 4 upgrade
Hi All, I'm having issues running Flash Builder 4 after a successful install. I keep getting the License agreement dialog which keeps reappearing after I agree, I can't get the application to launch. Has anyone else experienced this? I had the beta installed before this which I uninstalled before I installed the release version. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Farid

Re: [flexcoders] Site Launch
The look and feel are great, but it crashed my browser while navigating, also it's very cpu intensive and peaks my cpu at 100% while I was viewing the Gwen Stephanie design, also there was a runtime error when I was playing around with the Gwen Stephanie paper doll design section, you may want to look at optimizing it a bit. Otherwise a cool concept, just wondering why you didn't just build the site in Flash. Cheers, Farid On 10/15/07, Seth Caldwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Love the feel of this. Question – the dropdown menus and combo boxes look simply amazing. Is this a custom component or just styling on existing ones? They look so slick against the background gradient as well.
