Hi, everybody! I need to find Flex 3 functions to calculate NPV, IRR, and NPER just like in Excel. Are these out there anywhere? I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Thanks! Pete

[flexcoders] DataGrid and XMLListCollection - newbie question

2008-12-28 Thread Pete Appleby
Hi. I am trying to get a very simple datagrid up and going. I need to be able to populate this from an XMLListCollection. This seems very simple, but I am obviously missing the point somewhere in this. It seems that all of the books and online searchs show web services, etc. as source. I need to

[flexcoders] LocalConnection issue in AIR to AIR application

2009-01-15 Thread Pete Appleby
Hi, all. I am attempting to get started with two AIR applications talking to each other. Unfortunately, the StatusEvent basically just says error in the event.level after the Send request. How do I go about debugging this? I am not getting any Security or Async errors from the send. Where

Hi, Kevin. Thanks for the pointer. I looked at the example in the arthropod debugger class. Unfortunately, it is only the send half of the equation. It did point me into the direction of verifying that the domain name is correct. The error I receive from the Send status event is: type=status

2009-01-16 Thread Pete Appleby
Ok, I have found the issue. It seems that this event is thrown if the Send connection name does not match the name of an application that is currently accepting messages. In other words, the connection name used in Connect command on the receiver does not match, or the receiving application is

Please note a correct to a typo in the fourth paragraph above: It gets combined with app# then the domain name, in my case com.applebysw.test then the application name, InterCommAppTestB, followed by . then the publisher id, then : and then the connection name used in the Connect command,

2009-01-20 Thread Pete Appleby
Hi, Kevin! To answer your earlier question, yes, the error was coming from the Send side. The error only occurs if the listening ( Connected ) application is not running and connection or if the Send( name ) specifies an incorrect name. The problem was the difficulty of the PublisherId not being

[flexcoders] localconnection data encrypted?

2009-01-26 Thread Pete Appleby
I am using localconnections to pass information from one AIR application to another. All of this is working fine. I understand that AMF0 is being used behind the scenes to pass the information through the localconnection send() method. Is the data encrypted? If not, I assume that I must encrypt

Guy, I agree with your comments. I've been in computing for 30 years, and it is unfortunate, but in my opinion you hit the nail on the head. The old Not Invented Here syndrome is at work. Microsoft can keep SilverFish and IE. I am sticking with Flex and AIR. The day the Microsoft buys Adobe is

2009-01-28 Thread Pete Appleby
It would seem that there is a network connection being used, but I have not been able to find out for sure. The localconnection allows different versions of the Flash player to communicate via AMF0. This leads me to believe that the network is being used as opposed to a shared memory model. It

Thanks for the info! I have not been able to find out much about this out there. I have implemented my localconnection between AIR apps like you describe, with Send and ack/nack from the receiving apps. This is all working great. I am passing data back and forth from one app to another. In my
