Hi Alina,
What I'm asking is that you take your original code without porting it at
all and run the Royale Compiler's SWF compiler. It should be able to
produce the same SWF you are deploying now. It might catch errors that the
Flex MXMLC compiler does not catch. We need a successful SWF output so we
know the compiler visited all APIs. Once you can get a SWF out, then later
I will provide you with an updated Royale SWF compiler that will also
output an API usage report.
Thanks,
-Alex

Hi Alex,
Sure,
I’m compiling the code with the royale compiler. Porting basic components
that are available in Royale.
Thanks
Alina

Hi Alina,
While I work on the compiler API report feature, you could start now
trying to get your code to compile with the royale compiler from the
command line. I think you can run the bin/mxmlc from the Royale releases
with the same options you use with Flex MXMLC.
Give it a try and let us know.

Hi Alina,
I can't guarantee that you will be in production in six months, but I
believe we can help you get to the point where every screen shows up and
fills with data and we are fixing bugs in corner cases. We might also be
chasing down memory leaks and things like that. My strategy for lots of
things is to do the big things first and polish it later. For example, I
recently pushed some basic Virtual Item Renderer support for Royale, but
I'm pretty sure it will have bugs in corner cases, like deleting things
when scrolled to the bottom. But most apps start at the top and it will
get you going and we'll fix those corner cases later.
I want to finish up some infrastructural things in Royale over the next
couple of weeks, then I will adjust the compiler to generate an API
report. Once we see what that looks like, I should be able to help take
the sample code you provided and make it work in Royale. So maybe in a
month or so, you'll see more activity around your code. Right now I need
to clean up a few things so we can be more efficient working with you.
You won't need an IDE to generate the API report. If you know what
compiler settings you are using for your Flex app, you can just run a
Royale compiler from the command-line with the same arguments. I believe
that we are likely to make compiling your Flex app with the Royale compiler
one of the steps in migrating. The Royale compiler will catch some syntax
issues that the Flex compiler does not.
More later,
-Alex

Hi Alex,
Thank you so much. You gave me hope that I can achieve my target on time
and at least I am working in right direction.
At most places I'm using getItemAt(0) to access the element in
ArrayCollection.
At some places myArrayCollection[0].propertyname to access it
If you will modify the Royale compiler, I will definitely try compiling my
Flex app with the Royale compiler and generate a report of APIs used.
Currently I am using Visual Studio Code and apache royale 0.9.0 release is
installed.I will need your guidance which IDE and apache royale release
should I use to generate that report.
Thanks,
Alina Kazi

Hi Alina,
Other than ArrayCollection, that looks right. There will be sorting
classes eventually.
I think there are two buckets of things that you are going to need:
Things we haven't written yet:
- DividedBox/Container (mostly done)
- Menu/MenuBar
- VariableRowHeight
- Editable DataGrids
- Sorting?
Things we have written, but aren't packaged in a way that makes migration
easy:
- TitleWindow
- Canvas
- ArrayCollection
For ArrayCollection, do you use array indexing (myArrayCollection[0]) or
do you access it as getItemAt(0)?
You have so many files to port, it is tempting to create a Spark-ish and
MX-ish component set. They wouldn't be fully backward compatible but would
try to implement the most commonly used APIs. I'm wondering what
percentage of Flex APIs you actually used in your app. If I modify the
Royale compiler, could you try compiling your Flex app with the Royale
compiler and generate a report of APIs used?
Thanks,
-Alex

Hi,
I have replaced few imports in Apache Royale Project after comparison in
terms of functionality.
As you all are more familiar to Flex and Apache Royale.
Are these correct substitutes?
import org.apache.royale.html.Alert; //instead of import mx.controls.Alert;
import org.apache.royale.events.CloseEvent; // instead of import
mx.events.CloseEvent;
import org.apache.royale.net.events.FaultEvent; // instead of import
mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import org.apache.royale.net.events.ResultEvent; //instead of import
mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection; //very similar to
org.apache.royale.collections.TreeData
import mx.collections.Sort; // No Alternate found
import mx.collections.SortField;// No Alternate found
import mx.managers.PopUpManager; //org.apache.royale.core.IPopUp or
.IPopUpHost
import org.apache.royale.utils.StringUtil;// instead of import
mx.utils.StringUtil;
