[flexcoders] Interesting problem: dynamically creating id's and later referencing them.
Hi Guys (and Girls),
Ok, so I have been fighting a couple of days to figure this out.
In order to make a large and compliated form with drag and drop in of
more form fields I want to dynamically add an id to an display
object, and then be able to reference it later to get data out.
Somehow it only seems possible to find these objects by navigating
trough the the displaylist, and I cannot assign any 'real' id to a
newly created child.
The following example should illustrate what I want to do (it should
run). You will find it quite imposssible to get the object by it's id
(or uid).
Why is that?? Is there any other way of referencing an object of
which you do not know who his parent is?
Thank you in advance and greetings,
Thatcher

[flexcoders] OT: average cost for an SDK?
Ok, so this is an OT question, but I thought that the experienced participants in this group would be most likely to have some insight on this question. What do SDKs usually cost? I would assume that it could be anywhere from free to really expensive. I am mostly just interested in polling the list to get a bunch of SDK cost numbers so that I can come up with a median number. Anyone ever worked with an SDK? What did it cost you (if anything)?

[flexcoders] AJAX to Flex conversion?
Lets say that you have been developing an AJAX application (using ClearNovas ThinkCap) and you are displeased with the result. What options might one have to convert that AJAX application over to Flex? Is there a way to convert an AJAX application over to Flex? What other RIA platforms could be used that would allow the AJAX work that has been done to not be a total loss? My sense is that conversion to Flex is a long shot, but I thought I would ask anyway. TIA Dan P.S. sorry if this is a repeat post. I posted this first thing this morning but never saw it appear on the list.
