[flexcoders] Strategy for managing AS3 component lifecycle?

2008-11-21 Thread Sean Jackson
I have built custom components for Flex and find the component lifecycle very 
useful for managing display rendering.

Now I am starting to work with AS3 only components and would like to know of 
any strategies for managing my components lifecycle in a similar fashion since 
I dont have the Flex framework. 
It seems that creating a similar lifecycle framework would hinge on the 
ENTER_FRAME event triggering an evaluation of component properties and if they 
have changed clearing the graphics, redrawing the pertinent areas, 
adding/removing listeners, etc..
Does anyone have any documents or pointers on how to approach this? Perhaps 
someone  has done this before since I think it was the only way of doing it in 
AS2 (which I have no experience in)
Thank you,
Sean

 Do you want your application to notice automatically that something has
 changed on the server's database ? If so, BlazeDS is your friend.

How do we do this with BlazeDS? I'm currently using BlazeDS. Is there
any configuration for notifying the apps that something has changed on

 I've tried doing
 - dataProvider.refresh();
 - dataGrid.dataProvider.dispatchEvent(new
 CollectionEvent(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE));

 Or do you mean that you are removing items from the ArrayCollection that is
 set as the dataprovider, in which case as long as you wrote
 dataProvider={myAC}
 it should Just Work.

Yes, but the dataProvider is data from the database. Instead of
ArrayCollection that is set on the client.

Re: [flexcoders] IF flex_price 12k usd THEN should_I_consider_to_Buy = undefined

2005-03-29 Thread Dennis Jackson

I have never had good luck with cold fusion and its memory management. 
Especially with com objects. I have a couple of known bugs that were opened and 
have resolved much of this by shipping COM work to .net and using MX's 
webservices to access it, and in some cases having the entire COM object 
rewritten into java. I would expect being built by the same folks and still 
being a fairly early version, there is not much hope of really great memory 
management.

If we say that memory leaks are the result of sloppy coding or incomplete 
debugging, then the more expensive the product the less of those type of error 
I expect to see, and I certainly expect a faster than 3 month turn for a hot 
fix.

Heya,
 
 This raises a good question as to what FLEX is really meant to do. In
 that, you've stated that you've experienced memory leaks  and so
 forth, and i must admit if i load too much into the one screen stack,
 i too will see some CPU climb - but thats easily fixed by removing
 un-needed containers/controls (ie its no use having a mini virtual OS
 within a browser) along with varies data/memory management techniques
 applied (de-reference variables when finished, page breaking data
 etc).
 
 FLASH Player by its very nature has a limited amount of memory budget
 to play with and if you want to store 80,000 rows of data inside a
 DataGrid then yeah memory will hike. In reality though most folk will
 only use the top 100 at the very most on any search criteria - unless
 they are doing some crazy MS Excel type situation.
 
 Anyway the point i'm trying to make is that if the price does
 increase, and peoples expectations of what FLEX should DO vs what its
 capable of DOING (ie even if you compared FLEX App against a .NET
 Windows Form / JAVA SWING style app in terms of performance, you have
 to agree that FLEX will look poor (performance wise) on that regard.
 Yet in development costs and accessing it via the web, it kind of
 doesn't seem that bad - especially in file sizes.
 
 This is where I personally found it a point of contentation in that,
 as soon as i mentioned its capabilities of emulating thickware clients
 via browser, straightaway people i've pitched it to in the past have
 gone on the comparisons route - neglecting the keyword being,
 emulation.
 
 To me, FLEX is like buying VW BUG (Car), and stripping its
 panels/visuals away and putting porsche replacements in its place.. it
 looks and in many ways can sound like a porsche, but its no porsche
 its a VW made to look like one. (I recently saw a car do this very
 thing and you'd swear you were looking at a porsche..until it was
 started).
 
 Analogy was probably weak
 
 Price wise, maybe Michael is right, maybe that for $15k per CPU it HAS
 to go toe to toe with a thickware client aswell as maintain a smaller
 payload in terms of bandwidth consumption.

  It's true Flex has his merits, nice interfaces, large library of

  some of them:
  
  1. Too expensive. Cannot justify adding such a big price on top of

  a good option, and after my experience with JRun's memory leaking
  working with Flex I have a deja vu feeling... The library is not

  and with each fix you might fear that the new release will be more
  expensive not cool.
  
  2. Not very sure this product is ready for a full blown production
  application. It's very nice for data retrieval application type,
  not as good for data entry apps;
  
  3. The final product depends too much of the Flash Player ( an extra
  layer of possibles problems - especially memory leaking ). I've seen
  that sometimes under high load my browser crashes without any
  reason

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 price

2005-03-25 Thread Dennis Jackson

We have a similar situation in that we have plenty of cash for investment, 
certainly more than some of the companies I have worked with in the past. The 
license is a small cost compared to the labor that goes into the projects. We 
also need to factor intraining and support and the like. I think the biggest 
gain with flex is the ability to have a very maliable interface that is 
designed to work over a service oriented architecture. 

However, I have a learning curve regardless of the platform I choose. I have 
comparable labor if I use comparable approaches architecture wise.

If I use quad processor boxes (I do), and if I have at least 3 zones per 
production site (I do, dev stg and production) plus local developer installs 
then I am looking at with current list prices, at least 4 licenses totalling 
48,000 per production stream.
That doesn't include a 12-30k list range for the CFMX licenses we are using for 
the middle tier cfc layer.

So I am left with the question, do I get an additional 48k of value going with 
Flex on top of my webservice architecture, versus the open source lazslo. And 
additionally do I get an additional 78k of value from flex of cfmx over using 
laszlo on bluedragon (with flashORB)?

Then the longer term question is, given the dearth of junior and mid level CF 
talent do I embark on a migration to J2EE or .NET? Where will the talent levels 
for Flex and Laszlo be in 2 or 3 years?

It is a tough question, but I can tell you this asp.net is free and pre 
installed, and I know it was hard to say let's spend more money to buy 
something that does the same function. And that was below the 10k local sign 
off limit. Above 10k all purchases need business cases ROI and have to be 
signed off at a MUCH higher level ( our NY divisional HQ)

An increase from 12 to 20 would make those decisions easier in a lot of ways.

 If we were to pay $15k per CPU, then so be it. Most software we
 purchase thats tailored to an enterprise level is more then that -
 infact the intranet software we bought was higher in price and oh my,
 is it useless.
 
 The major selling point for us was how much $ would it take for
 someone to create what FLEX has on offer via DHTML or other
 technology - too much.
 
 FLEX is also a hard sell inside businesses. I know here in Australia
 the local Sales guys really have to put in the hard yards to get the
 sale made, and the end sale wasn't really worth the time and money
 invested (flights back and forth etc).
 
 I know, why not sell it much cheaper then? well again it would still
 require the same amount of sale - hand holding - to get over the line
 and at a lower price - furthermore it would have a larger takeup,
 which means sales folks will tied up with a lot of tyre kickers
 instead of real potential meaty customers. On top of this, if it was
 sold at $5k per CPU or something like that, there would be a lot of
 support required which in turn eats into profit margins for the
 product - recoup investments already outlayed. So in reality for a
 company thats publically listed and has a bunch of folk who demand
 profit margins, kinda damned if you do, damned if you don't.
 
 I am thankful that I have a company who is loaded with $$ so i can
 play with FLEX, but the future of FLEX is going to ramp up radically
 and so i can see pass the price tag and consider it a wise investment.

Subject: [flexcoders] Problem with WebService using HTTPS protocol

I'm trying to invoke an unnamed web service and the fault string
Could not load WSDL is returned. (typing the URL in a browser
returns valid (WSDL) XML).

A couple of questions:
(1) Does anyone have an idea why the WSDL could not be loaded?
(2) Does anyone have a complete, working example of invoking a Web
Service, from a separate server, over HTTPS (with flex-config.xml,
etc., settings)?
