RE: [flexcoders] No more posts re: moderation / yahoogroups pls
Steven, It does not make a lot of sense to defend again and againwhathas beenright for a few 100 flexcoders two years ago, while so many community members have new ideas to make things better. Embrace complaints and suggestions instead of asking people not to post their ideas anymore on how to improve this community. This request soundsweird from an innovative guy like you. This is a community, you cannot dictate the topics on the agenda. Times change, new members arrive, people are getting used to better experiences, this means flexcoders need to adapt to these changes as well, especially now we are going to see an increase in the amountof people working with Flex. Where do you see room for improvement? What are your plans for flexcoders?. Show us your roadmap for flexcoders 2.0? Vinny From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven WebsterSent: zondag 18 juni 2006 6:52To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: [flexcoders] No more posts re: moderation / yahoogroups pls Guys, Post will be much easier to find, and the list much easier to read, if there aren't 30+ posts a day with various opinions on how the list could be different or better ! We've had a successful community running here on yahoogroups since day zero of Flex's launch ... we'll keep a very close eye on whether there's a compelling need to make changes to the way the list operates, but for the time being, it's satisfying the aims of the silent majority. For many of us, yahoogroups *is* the flex coding community - if you've joined recently, I'd urge you to get to know the community here, rather than call for it's fragmentation. There's a depth of resource on this list like few others - newcomers arrive in waves, and with each wave, those who have come before them are doing a tremendous job of answering the questions that they themselves were asking only a few months ago. With the depth of experience on the list going all the way back to the community who were using Flex during it's advisory board/alpha/beta before the Flex 1.0 release, the Adobe Consultants who are helping customers and partners in their success with Flex, and a great number of the Adobe Engineers who unofficially hang out here to make sure that the fruits of their labor become the enabling technology for the fruits of yours, you're not going to struggle to have your questions answered here. There's an archive search of the list here - http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com - if anyone requires it, and as so many of you have pointed out, there are a number of strategies of using your various and favourite mail clients to find a way of using and contributing to the list in a manner that suits your needs. Can I ask that we move the conversation on from the technical infrastrcture behind the list - as with a community of ~4000 people, there are always going to be opinions on how things could be done differently, that will match some needs but not others. Instead, can I ask that we return our focus back to ensuring that flexcoders continue to be the high-value resource and focalpoint of the Flex development community that it has successfully been for almost two and half years. Let's hear about the web-changing experiences you're delivering with Flex, the challenges you faced building them, and the solutions you innovated to address them.

Steven, agreed. A final puzzle for you. Given Adobe's target to attract hundreds of thousandsnew Flex developerswhich mayleadto 15.000members ofFlexcodersin2007. In 2007 how many times do you thinka member willhaveto hit the delete keya day for flexcoders alone when flexcoders does not offer categorization? And how much timedo members wasteeveryday reading flexcoders subject linesthey arenot interested in? Last word from me on this topic! Vinny P.S. If you are looking for people to help you transform flexcoders into a full blown community with all the bells and whistles, yes you can count on my contribution. And if you need more HBR articles, i'll provide those too :-) From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven WebsterSent: zondag 18 juni 2006 11:58To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: RE: [flexcoders] No more posts re: moderation / yahoogroups pls Vinny, Honestly, I'd love for this to be the last post on the subject; not to censor or to stifle information, but because for the vast majority of the list, this is a topic that they are using their delete key for. The purpose of flexcoders is not to be a forum, is not to be a resource of articles, is not to be a knowledge base, is not to be a community site as such. The purpose of flexcoders is to provide a mailing list where people can email questions, and where people can email responses. There are numerous solutions to providing a mailing list, and we've chosen yahoogroups. Others have sought to have more of a web-based community, and have responded to that - Tariq's efforts with cfflex would be a great example of this. If anyone feels there is a gap in the community - an online chat, a place for posting and sharing code snippets, a knowledge base of articles, and they don't feel that things like labs, adobe forums, blogs, cfflex,etc, are covering those gaps, I'd encourage you to innovate and deliver. This is a mailing list, not a software product - we don't have a team "publishing a roadmap for flexcoders 2". Rather we'd devote our time to supporting the mailing list as best we can, by keeping the signal to noise ratio high through the minimum amount of moderation, and contributing knowledge to the list where the gaps exist. We have a team of moderators who have the sole aim of ensuring that this list is as spam free as possible (and I'd hope you feel that we're achieving that) and who try to step in as little as possible when the content on the list is deviating from the core subject as much as possible. If we're achieving both these aims, we're achieving our ambition with flexcoders. If - with the release of Flex 2 - there is an explosive growth in the community, and a need to split into separate lists, we will entertain that option. However, this option can create as many problems as it solves - people cross-posting to lists and the volume of emails increasing rather than becoming more managable, or the reaching of a tipping point whereby those who hang out on the list to "give more than they receive" find the effort has reached the point of overwhelming, and the fragmentation drives down the value of content. But we are users as well as moderators of the list, and as soon as it becomes unusable for us, we'll be sure to entertain the next logical options. We are keeping flexcoders the way it is right now not because we don't care, but because we care passionately. It is never our intention to offer web-based forums, wikis, blogs, knowledge bases or any of these other things. There are other resources for doing so, or the community is able to respond accordingly. Perhaps you are volunteering ? :) Flexcoders is a mailing list, and the primary interaction is intended by design to be people posting emails to the list, and these emails hitting the inbox of every other member, with a digest for those who wish to scan on a more irregular basis. This enables the quickest responses to solutions, so that the list becomes an enabling means of making the growing flexcoders community as successful as possible. This is a forum where those learning and pushing the technology, can hit a brick wall several times a day, and have that wall removed for them by someone else. That carries immeasurable value to me. I stress again; we have close to 4000 members who are using the list regularly, and there are less than 10-15 members who regularly post about alternatives (more often that not, moving the list to their own site or servers). We're only trying to be a mailing list, and the volume and value that the community are finding from the emails here, would suggest we're still doing a decent job of being just that. Now please, if people want to discuss alternatives, can we take the discussion off-list, rather than frustrate those here, who are happy with the solution as is, and who are more interested in "flexcoding". Thanks for your passionate
[flexcoders] Flex Knowledge Aggregation PREVIOUS: Seperate Mailing List :: Component developers - Framework Devlopment
This Flexcoders list is a very valuable resource for every Flex developer, RIA consultant etc.. The bad thing however, it has a number of usability defects - ever done a search? - most of them due to the generic nature of the yahoo groups. Furthermore it does not integrate with the Adobe knowledgebase. In short: high quality content, low quality user experience The Adobe forums on the other hand are a better experience to work with. However, although they allow you to subscribe to a rss feed, do not have regular email subscription as a feature (at least I haven't found it) A simple suggestion: add regular email subscription to the Adobe forums, move/transfer the flexcoders list to the Adobe forums and integrate the Flexcoders/Flex Forums with the Adobe knowledgbase. No more searching in different places. A single high quality information source for everything Flex related. Like all other simple suggestion it needs some work :-) Vinny P.S.

RE: [flexcoders] setUsernamePassword on RemoteObject
This is a known bug in Flex 1.5. The setUsernamePassword API is not connected to CFLOGIN. Hope they will fix it in Flex 2.

[flexcoders] Flex Pricing: Relax!
I have started many discussions on Flex pricing, and contributed heavily to each and every other previous Flex pricing post, because I was convinced that Flex pricing killed my and other Flex lovers' opportunities. The reason why I did not contribute until so far is simple. I have experienced that for hot opportunities Macromedia is willing to work out the right deal for you and your customer. They don't kill your opportunities. This is a proven fact. So if you think Flex may be the right solution for your customer's business problem, don't let the pricetag intimidate you. Contact Macromedia and work it out! The real threat, however, comes from a different corner. High price tags might frighten developers to seriously invest in Flex. Return on investment may seem far lower than frominvesting in any other platform.The number of experienced, professional Flex developers is low at the moment and may not rise fast enough to realize all Flex opportunities that pop-up in the market in the coming years.Therefore it is absolutely necessary that Macromedia will provide a range of other Flex packages soon. Fromlow-cost (stripped down server-based versions) to no-cost (just mxml compilation without server-based features; the developer-centered Flash alternative).The critical success factor in the next period is not the Flex price tag, but the number of experienced, highly qualified developers out there that master MXML and AS2 and can rapidly create the killer applications Flex can offer. Don't make it a second ColdFusion:powerful platform, excellent programming language, not enough developers. Vinny Yahoo!

RE: [flexcoders] OT: Relation between CFMX7 and Flex
Hi Dirk, I did not dive into the inner workings of the gateway, but there is one new feature that will definitely interest you: the lower keys tag in the gateway-config.xml file. Until CFMX7, ColdFusion had a bad reputation of messing with the case of your keys. If you build CFMX-Flex applications and you don't want CFMX7 to change the case of your keys the value of this tag has to be true. Now you can use standard naming conventions without having to implement infamous workarounds. Two other things you should be aware of when working with CFMX7 in combination with Flex: 1. If you create CFMX7 dynamically generated FlashPaper reports and display them within a Flex panel, these FlashPaper reports won't print. This is a serious bug MM is aware of and - I hope - they will definitely fix in the next FlashPaper release. 2. If you want to use CFLOGIN for authentication then there is another surprise: the Flex 1.5 setUsernamePassword API, currently isn't connected to CFLOGIN. I hope they will fix this in Flex 2.0 I personally believe this is a great release with some great new features. My favorites: application events, dynamic reporting and the event gateways. I hope we are going to see some innovative applications based on the last feature soon. Best, Vinny -Original Message- From: Dirk Eismann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: dinsdag 8 februari 2005 11:22 To: FLEXCODERS (E-Mail) Subject: [flexcoders] OT: Relation between CFMX7 and Flex Hi, as you may now, ColdFusion MX 7 (Blackstone) has just been released: http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/ now after looking at the new features that CFMX 7 brings, I wonder how the Flash based features do relate to Flex. It seems obvious that the new charting and form features are based on Flex 1.5 - thus, CFMX 7 comes with some kind of Flex under the hood. Is it a stripped down version that just does the rendering or does it also provide the gateway infrastructure? BTW: Does CFMX 7 provide a new Remoting gateway and if so is it the same as in the standard Flex 1.5 product? The CFMX 7 product page is somewhat vague on the Flash features or its underlying engine, so maybe someone with some Blackstone experience could shed some light on this? Thanks, Dirk. Yahoo!

RE: [flexcoders] OT: Relation between CFMX7 and Flex
the CF gateway would still force all keys to lower case which would probably break your AS 2.0 code as it is case sensitive, or am I wrong? It doesn't break your AS2 code. The naming of the tag is confusing, especially when you expect consistency with the Flex 1.5 settings. That's why they added the following comment: !-- ActionScript 1.0 and ColdFusion use case insensitive data structures to store associative arrays, objects and structs - the Java representation of these datatypes requires a case-insensitive Map, which the gateway achieves by looking up all keys in lowercase. If case insensitivity is desired then this setting should be set to true. ActionScript 2.0 is now case sensitive, but setting this to true will allow ColdFusion to look up keys case insensitively, and will not actually change the case of the keys. For AS 2.0 to java this should be false, since both are case sensitive. -- Best, Vinny -Original Message- From: Dirk Eismann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: dinsdag 8 februari 2005 12:57 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] OT: Relation between CFMX7 and Flex Hi Vinny, I did not dive into the inner workings of the gateway, but there is one new feature that will definitely interest you: the lower keys tag in the gateway-config.xml file.

Now you can use standard naming conventions without having to implement infamous workarounds. hmm - is this the same setting as in the Flex 1.5 gateway-config.xml (which is set to false by default)? The way I understand this setting (for the Flex gateway) is that setting lowercase-keys to true forces all keys passed over the wire to lower case, i.e. a key mixedCaseIdentifier would be transferred as mixedcaseindentifier which is OK for ActionScript 1.0 (as it's not case sensitive) and CF but not for Java or AS 2.0 - but setting this to true on the CF gateway would still force all keys to lower case which would probably break your AS 2.0 code as it is case sensitive, or am I wrong? Another thing; Is CF now really caring about case when calling a CFC via RemoteObject and the CFC returns an instance of a CFC? I used to return structs from CFCs and decorated them with the _remoteClass identifier - any news on this field? 1. If you create CFMX7 dynamically generated FlashPaper reports and display them within a Flex panel, these FlashPaper reports won't print. This is a serious bug MM is aware of and - I hope - they will definitely fix in the next FlashPaper release. yes, I hope so too. Currently, FlashPaper is great as a standalone document format but it does not play very well when loaded into another SWF app. 2. If you want to use CFLOGIN for authentication then there is another surprise: the Flex 1.5 setUsernamePassword API, currently isn't connected to CFLOGIN. I hope they will fix this in Flex 2.0 that's bad news :( Anyway, thanks for the information! Cheers, Dirk. Yahoo! Groups Links

Hi all,Long-time lurker, first-time poster... I wanted to draw your attention to an issue that I'm having with Flex Builder: Basically, the Preview/Run/Debug functionality stops working when you subclass mx.core.Application and/or mx.containers.Form in your applications.Of course this is a perfectly legal thing to do and, actually, the ARP framework will be recommending this as a best practice (among other things, it makes migrating from Flash to Flex child's play.) It also gets around having to mix code into your MXML files -- which is a nasty practice akin to how we used to #include script files in ActionScript 1 in Flash. In any case, this is a fundamental use case and it appears that Flex Builder doesn't currently support it. I posted about this on my blog in more detail, with a barebones sample to demonstrate the bug:http://www.flashant.org/index.php?p=273more=1c=1I am still holding out hope that there is a way to override this default behavior in Flex Builder to tell it that it's ok to preview a subclass of Application/Form but I haven't been able to find such a way using the Dreamweaver extensibility APIs. Perhaps someone from the Flex team will have a potential solution/workaround for this.All the best,Aral -- Aral BalkanManaging Director, Ariaware Ltd.Best Practices Flash Flex Development course - March, 2005.
