RE: [flexcoders] Re: If I buy a flex license can I host other peoples apps on the license?
It also depends upon the type of information in the RIA that your team builds. For example, if you are spending a ton of money for a 3-5 tier setup where everything is load balanced, but the app is only going to be used a few thousand times a week, you are probably not going to be saving that much. If you are building an application where you can show that seconds saved off of a single transaction saves the company hundreds of thousands of dollars a day you can probably get away with a bit more probably.

I've written a simple test case to characterize the problem (the mxml file and remote object are attached), and I'm seeing some behavior I can't explain. I would appreciate any help anyone can provide understanding the problem or providing work-arounds. The time between the remote method call and the resultHandler of the call grows linearly with list size and/or object size as you'd expect. We're also seeing a period of time after the result handler where the application becomes unresponsive. This is what I can't explain. This mystery time increases non-linearly with item count and seems to increase greatly when items in the list reference other objects (even if they all reference the same instance). I've traced data from within the result in the resultHandler, so the action script objects seem to be fully serialized by the resultHandler, so the clients peformance after the resultHandler doesn't seem to be directly hampered by object loading or creation. The attached graphs show the results of my tests. In each graph the time until the result handler is in orange, the time after the result handler is green and the sum of the two is blue. TOP LEFT: Load time per item where each item contains a map with 5 entries. Note that the mystery time (green) increases non-linearly, and (excluding the spikes) the orange increase linearly. TOP RIGHT: Load time per item, 10 entries. The orange lines slope increases as you'd expect since the size of the objects have increased by ~80%. The green line is identical to the graph of items with 5 entries. MIDDLELEFT: Load time per item, 20 entries. Again the orange line's slope increases as expected. The mystery time remains the same. MIDDLE RIGHT: I modified the remoting code to create a single parent item and give each item in the list a reference to it. I then created a second parent object so that each object would have a reference to 2 parent objects (but only a single instance of each). I overlayed the graphs so that the scales matched (each item had 10 map entries and the bottom lines are test graphed in the TOP RIGHT). Note that adding the one reference increases the mystery time by nearly 100% and adding the second reference increases it by 150%. BOTTOM LEFT: Load time per map item, 1000 items. Holding the items constant, you can see that the mystery time holds constant after a certain point, and the load time (orange) increases linearly with object size as expected. BOTTOM RIGHT: Repeated calls for 0 items. This is a control to eliminate the possiblity that multiple calls or the graphing was responsible for the slowdown. Thanks, Alex Carbon Five Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Need help with protecting FLVs
Nutshell: I am working with a handful of FLVs for a tech demo that I am creating and want to prevent them from being downloaded. Does anyone have a good idea about how I can go about doing this? Longer version: I have encoded FLVs sitting in a web directory (because contentPath requires a location string), but that also means that a user can type in the name of the file and download the FLV directly (I get the download box when I type out the name of the FLV). I tried putting the files on a web server inside the firewall, thinking that the Flex server would somehow magically act as a proxy just for the Flex application. Worked fine as long as I was sitting inside the firewall ;) Any ideas would be great! Thanks, Jeff http://www.flexauthority.com Yahoo!

Longer version: I have encoded FLVs sitting in a web directory (because contentPath requires a location string), but that also means that a user can type in the name of the file and download the FLV directly (I get the download box when I type out the name of the FLV). I tried putting the files on a web server inside the firewall, thinking that the Flex server would somehow magically act as a proxy just for the Flex application. Worked fine as long as I was sitting inside the firewall ;) Any ideas would be great! Thanks, Jeff http://www.flexauthority.com Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!

[flexcoders] More interesting than Zorn?
This is directly out of the http://www.macromedia.com/platform/whitepapers/platform_overview.pdf. The next major release of Flex, code-named Mistral, will provide an extensive set of new features. The class library will be extended with new and improved user interface components. An extended effects and skinning infrastructure will make it even easier to build highly expressive and branded applications. The Flex programming model will also leverage new industry standards, suck as E4X (ECMAScript for XML). Flex will also provide tight integration with functional testing tools and support usage analysis of RIAs. New data services are being added to Flex to support transparent data persistence across tiers, occasionally connected clients, data synchronization, a robust data push infrastructure, and paging large datasets. The new data services remove the need to write the traditionally complex and error-prone required to synchronize data between tiers. Modifications made at the client side can be persisted transparently to the server. Combined with existing persistence solutions used at the server side (like Hibernate and JDO), these services can provide an end-to-end, client application-to-database, persistence solution. The new data services also support offline data access: Data modifications made offline are stored in a persistent data store at the client side, and are synchronized with the server when the network becomes available. The data services will also manage the resolution conflicts to this type of system where multiple users may attempt to modify the same data at the same time. Collaboration is becoming an important aspect of an online experience. To enable development of collaborative applications, Flex will support presence, integration with enterprise instant messaging, and application sharing. Also out of the document: The next major release of Flash Lite, code-named Deuce, except that it will be based on the Flash Player 7 and will elevate scripting for mobile applications to a more powerful level with ActionScript 2 support. I did not see any of this come across the wire today. Not to take anything away from the announcement about Zorn, but this is a bit more exciting for me. I stumbled upon this document while looking at the new great stuff today about Flash as a platform. http://www.macromedia.com/platform/. Take a look at the videos and the different PDFs.

Hi Jamie. - Love Flex. Has enabled us non flash developers to build very productive and intuitive applications; and in some cases applications that weren't even feasible if limited to just HTML and Javascript. - The big problem area for enterprise developers (in my opinion) is that there's no file upload capability. So if you're building anything related to content management it's not so straight forward. There's an article on flexauthority.com that has a work-around. The Flex team is furiously coding away on Flex 2.0 which will address a lot of the sought after wish list items (eg ways of doing certain things faster and easier), and taking advantage of new features in the next version of the Flash player. jamiebadman wrote: Hey guys, A really general question...

So far though, I'm very impressed and I'm hoping to put my case forward for purchasing some Flex licenses shortly... but before I do, I could do with some feedback: My questions are... Generally, are people happy with the Flex environment ? Are you finding it a productive development environment and are you happy with the apps you're creating ? Are there many really nasty 'problem areas' that you're waiting for Macromedia to address in a future release that you've found impossible - or very hard - to workaround ?

Naturally, you'll also be able to leverage those same new features, so we thought we'd start giving you a run down of what's new. Of course we don't have beta software for you to play with yet, so for now, we'll provide a lot of detail so you can evaluate these new features and give guidance for us. XML manipulation in Flex 2.0 is going to get a lot more powerful, as well as faster. By the time that Flex 2.0 ships, the Flash Player will support E4X (ECMAScript for XML), a set of programming language extensions adding native XML support to ECMAScript. The player team is busy implementing Standard ECMA-357 as described in http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-357.htm. Here's how the spec describes what this feature offers: E4X adds native XML datatypes to the ECMAScript language, extends the semantics of familiar ECMAScript operators for manipulating XML objects and adds a small set of new operators for common XML operations, such as searching and filtering. It also adds support for XML literals, namespaces, qualified names and other mechanisms to facilitate XML processing. Lets take a look at a few examples of how you can read XML data using E4X. As in the current player, you'll be able to create variables of type XML by parsing a String. But XML literals will now be supported as well: var employees:XML = employees employee ssn=123-123-1234 name first=John last=Doe/ address street11 Main St./street citySan Francisco/city stateCA/state zip98765/zip /address /employee employee ssn=789-789-7890 name first=Mary last=Roe/ address street99 Broad St./street cityNewton/city stateMA/state zip01234/zip /address /employee /employees; Instead of using DOM-style APIs like firstChild, nextSibling, etc., with E4X you just dot down to grab the node you want. Multiple nodes are indexable with [n], similar to the elements of an Array: trace(employees.employee[0].address.zip); --- 98765 To grab an attribute, you just use the .@ operator: trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]); --- 789-789-7890 If you don't pick out a particular node, you get all of them, as an indexable list: trace(employees.employee.name); --- name first=John last=Doe/ name first=Mary last=Roe/ (And note that nodes even toString() themselves into formatted XML!) A handy double-dot operator lets you omit the path down into the XML expression, so you could shorten the previous three examples to trace(employees..zip[0]); trace([EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]); trace(employees..name); You can use a * wildcard to get a list of multiple nodes or attributes with various names, and the resulting list is indexable: trace(employees.employee[0].address.*); --- street11 Main St./street citySan Francisco/city stateCA/state zip98765/zip trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]); --- Doe You don't have to hard-code the identifiers for the nodes or attributes... they can themselves be variables: var whichNode:String = zip; trace(employees.employee[0].address[whichNode]); --- 98765 var whichAttribute:String = ssn; trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]); --- 789-789-7890 A new for-each loop lets you loop over multiple nodes or attributes: for each (var ssn:XML in [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ) { trace(ssn); } --- 123-123-1234 789-789-7890 Most powerful of all, E4X supports predicate filtering using the syntax .(condition), which lets you pick out nodes or attributes that meet a condition you specify using a Boolean expression.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 1.5 price
My guess is that you will be back. Lazslo, while the samples look great, is still based upon Flash player 5 (Beta 3 of Lazslo is player 6). It is one of those things where you have to wonder - how does Lazslo know what to extend of the Flash Player. The people that are contributing to it make guesses and try to extend the capabilities as far as they can, but they are still limited in their knowledge. I have never seen an API to the Flash player made readily available to the public. Also - as the Flash Player gets more complicated it will become more difficult to code hooks into the player to give developers the same functionality that is provided by Flex, and Breeze, and Flash, This really goes for all the competing technologies out there that are doing their best to output as a swf. MM is doing something right - they hold all the cards to the most widely accepted piece of downloaded content on the web. My guess is that they still have a few aces up their sleeves and that they will always be the power to beat (as long as the continue to devote their company's future to flash). I am also guessing that MM was prepared for this backlash - but as future iterations come out, and they show more and more of the fun stuff that they want to give us non-flash developers the ability to extend, Everyone that decided ~now to give Laszlo, et. al., a look will come back to the Flex world to see what they missed.

Re: [flexcoders] Deploying Flex Applications
I will take a shot at answering some of your questions. The Flex app (SWF) is cached by default on the client. This is assuming that the client has caching enabled. If your application has been cached on a client machine - the next time they visit your site a small time/date check is executed to verify that the client is running the latest and greatest version of your Flex app. No changes to your application = does not download it again. I believe that I understand your question about serving data from a different machine than is serving the Flex applications. Simply point your applications to the dataproviders - there is no limitation that says your datasource (RO / HTTPService / WebService) has to reside on your Flex server. Cookies question has been answered - but for any newcomers, check out SharedObjects. We use BigIP for production machines where I work. I have had no issues hiding my Flex servers behind a VIP.

It's been a fun learning this technology and the Cairngorm framework does present a very neat framework that suits our purpose well. However I've come across two small problems.could someone please point me in the right direction (I'm using Developer Edition of Flex 1.5): 1. I have a button whose face is completely occupied by a .gif image. When the button is disabled, it is expected that the image will be grayed out in addition to having a flat appearance. Do I need to swap the image file references whenever the image is enabled/disabled, or is there a better way of achieving the same effect in Flex? 2. Another button I have is meant to be a toggle button so I used the syntax: mx:Button label=Is toggle=true selected=true / But this does not have the toggled effect - it looks exactly the same whether I set toggle property to true or not. I thought it should be quite straightforward so please suggest what's my blindspot! Thank you in advance.

If the combo box is editable, then backgroundColor can be set; as soon as editable is false, changing the style seems to have no effect.
