[flexcoders] Re: The different between generial Flex 3 and Flex 3 Profesional?
I just re-read the whole thread; and am unsure how Scott's post could be construed as inappropriate. Someone said I thought X, and that was wrong; so Scott posted the appropriate info. He wasn't the one who brought up the topic of Silverlight. I agree that adding a sig with his title would be good forum etiquette. I would make the same recommendation to the Adobe employees who post here, though. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Paul Andrews [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Microsoft could always avoid mistakes by licencing Flash and Flex technology from Adobe.. ;-) Scott, I won't beat the drum, since I'm probably alone in thinking this: It's difficullt to see posts by a Microsoft Product Manager as being intended to help the flex community. Silverlite and whatever else people may choose to use - fine, but effectively promoting product while 'informing' the flex community, I find problematic. At least put your full title on your posts - don't be shy about being the WPF/Silverlight Product Manager. I know that you have stated that you are no longer a product Evangelist. I think the only thing that has happened is that the evangelising has become more subtle. Ironically, as a Flex developer I have a feeling I'm about to get beat up for this post.

I use this forum to see what the average joe is having trouble with so that I can ensure we don't repeat the same mistakes, think of this as a great ear to the grown forum. I gave up my Flex days in 2007 ... Anyway.. just setting the record straght around some misconceptions around our products, do what you will with that.

Just for a moment I thought this was the flex coders forum rather than an extension of the MS marketing effort.. Okay, be nice, it's on-topic... the thread had lead to a question of whether it was possible to develop in Silverlight for free (in the same way its possible to develop in Flex for free). Scott was able to provide an authoritative answer on that, which is good, because it was suggested that it was not an option and that one would have to purchase Expression. I think the marketing effort in Scott's e-mail was little to non-existent.

[flexcoders] Re: [SYD-ANN] Sydney Flex and AIR Pre-Release Tour With Danny Dura
With all due respects to Chris, is it appropriate to ask that such announcements do not get posted to the list? I do not wish to see a multitude of announcements for events I cannot attend. There must be some way to promote to your local market, without bombarding the list right? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Chris Velevitch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thursday, 24th January.

[flexcoders] Re: Encryption functions in ActionScript 3
Here are two alternative packages if you can't get the Adobe ones working: http://ascrypt3.riaforge.org/index.cfm http://crypto.hurlant.com/ --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, NZEYIMANA Emery Fabrice [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Group, I am looking for a way to generate SHA1 and MD5 strings in FLEX. On the page http://weblogs.macromedia.com/as_libraries/docs/corelib/com/adobe/crypto/package-detail.html they say that SHA1 and MD5 are defined in the package com.adobe.crypto I tried to import that package as import com.adobe.crypto; at the beginning of the file but the compiler says that the package cannot be found. I also tried to use the functions directly (MD5, SHA1, hash, ...) but the compiler complains. Can somebody tell me what's wrong with this? Thanks Emery
[flexcoders] Re:FMS streams, need an flv file?
I'm working with John on the project. We are supposed to be streaming FLVs, but the Content Delivery Network sometimes returns rmtp URLs that contain a direct reference to an flv file. Sometimes it returns URLs that don't contain a direct reference. In this case, I understand that Content Delivery Network is just a fancy term for We outsourced our FMS hosting --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Larry Larson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If there is no .FLV, what kind of file are you streaming? I am not sure it is impossible, but I've consumed a lot of FMS streams and never used anything but a .FLV. Curious about what you are trying to do.. Larry Larson nyc
[flexcoders] HTTPService and XML
( I also posted this on the labs forums at Macromedia.com, so I
apologize if this is a cross post for anyone )
I'm using Flex Builder 2 (Alpha, of course) and am having trouble
retrieving / accessing XML data.
I'm completely new to Flex, but know web programming well. I
succesfully implemented the quick start demos without any problem. My
long term goal is to populate a combobox from an XML document. I know
there is another post on the lab forum on that, but I haven't gotten
far enough to be able to apply that post.
I set up this quick demo to demonstrate the problem:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml; xmlns=*
mx:HTTPService id=category
url=http://www.jeffryhouser.com/flex/getcategories.cfm;
useProxy=false/
mx:Canvas width=100% height=100%
mx:Label x=12 y=24 text={category.result} width=253/
/mx:Canvas
/mx:Application
The label is blank. I would have expected it to return something like
object Object, which makes me think that the problem is in
retrieving the data. If I add a similar label to the BlogReader quick
start code, object Object is returned, like this:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml;
xmlns=* initialize=feedRequest.send()
mx:HTTPService id=feedRequest
url=http://www.jeffryhouser.com/rss.cfm?mode=short; useProxy=false/
mx:Canvas width=100% height=100%
mx:Label x=20 y=10 text={feedRequest.result.rss.channel.title} /
mx:Label x=331 y=9 text={feedRequest.result} width=330/
mx:DataGrid x=20 y=40 id=dgPosts width=400
dataProvider={feedRequest.result.rss.channel.item}
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Date columnName=pubDate width=150 /
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Posts columnName=title/
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
mx:TextArea x=20 y=204 width=400
htmlText={dgPosts.selectedItem.description} height=200/
mx:Link x=24 y=405 label=Read Full Post height=20
click=getURL(dgPosts.selectedItem.link); /
/mx:Canvas
/mx:Application
Now, If I take my first example and replace the HTTPService URL to
point to an RSS feed; nothing is returned; here is that code:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml; xmlns=*
mx:HTTPService id=category
url=http://www.jeffryhouser.com/rss.cfm?mode=short; useProxy=false/
mx:Canvas width=100% height=100%
mx:Label x=12 y=24 text={category.result} width=253/
/mx:Canvas
/mx:Application
I do not see any differences, in technique, between the BlogReader and
the Test code; so I'm not sure why nothing appears to be getting returned.
Any thoughts or assistance would be welcome.
