[flexcoders] Hello, and a question...

2008-04-21 Thread bredwards358
Hi, I'm new to this group so I would like to get my introductions out
of the way before I ask my question. I've recently begun a project at
work which involves an Adobe AIR application coded in Flex 3. It is
essentially a totally new version of legacy software which was coded
in VB 6. I am quickly getting to the point where I need to begin
coding the logic for the program which will be mostly done in
Actionscript.

The legacy software included functionality for sending and receiving
information from PALM PDA's. I've never dealt with these devices
before and while I can look at the VB 6 modules to see how it was done
there, I really have no idea where to begin on how to figure out how
that works or where to begin on implementing similar functionality in
my own project. 

What I'm asking essentially is a point in the right direction of
something that can help me write in functionality for PALM handhelds
for the application. I appreciate and thank you for your assistance in
advance.

Welcome!

 

Since it is your first post here, we'll forgive you ;), but hereafter,
please make your subject descriptive of your question, and indicate if
it is about AIR (if you think that may be significant).  The traffic on
this list prevents us from reading all posts, so many of us use the
subject to decide whethere we can be of any use.

 

Now, your question is pretty general.  I am not sure I understand the
architecture you are thinking about.  Are you expecting the AIR app to
run on the PDAs?  That might (I do not do AIR yet) be an issue in
itself.  Can you describe the architecture of the legacy app?  What
happens on the server (not Flex), what on the client(Flex) and how the
communication between client ans server is handled?

 

Tracy
