Yeah I am a little bit confused I guess it could just be old school flash with object tag... But I'm pretty sure that the boss said it used flex a few months back..
Would love to learn more about flex.. Is there a flex for dummies tutorial where I can learn the ropes?? I use dreamweaver for other projects and I really don't know much about flash or flex.. But I'm interested in submitting a couple of screenshots tomorrow. Basically there are rumors that we have to run our app in ie8 mode.. But I just get confused about quirks mode vs comparability mode. Basically I try to use this ie ten machine today.. we are looking twards rolling out ie ten but im having hard time understanding what I need to do to get it working in ten. Can't u just run websites in ie8 comparability mode?? It works in ie nine but not ie ten. I don't understand that.. I mean to say I don't like it. So in ten i go to sign into my website via IP address and it just returns a simple xsl file and no content.. It's basically just a blank page. But it works great from another machine.. I've tried fiddling with the request headers .. Sorry if I'm using the wrong adjective. I just can't for the life of me get Internet explorer ten to run this app and I put a couple two hours into testing to today.. In the big picture I'm interested in writing some sort of test harness that can download reports from our erp automagically and save them to a unc path... I would be a hero if I could do that. Technically I'm already a hero . But we have small IT dept. in Pittsburgh that calls all the shots.. And we're probably going to purchase another company in a few months so I'm rapidly losing my window of opportunity. The erp system runs on progress database and we have about twenty percent of the data coming out to a data warehouse that is where I come in.. Long term we add more data to dw but short term we need to come up with some sort of automation solution to keep this app in scope. I see a fair amount of web service calls and of course getting any sort of visibility to the web services would really open a ton of doors for us. Can someone give me a thirty second over lview of how web services and flex and flash interoperate?? Anything I could do sign in programmatically and either download data or screen scrape or jam data into web services it would just be crazy how many doors that would open for us. We basically have a hosted data silo and it's frustrating as heck that we cannot get to our data in some sort of open and honorable ways. I'm sorry if I'm rambling.. Would be glad to send some screenshots tomorrow but it will take a couple of hours before I could generate the errors I've been getting that make me think it is using flex... My bosses boss is way too busy to talk to me about this app... I'm just dying to find a wsdl or something along those lines.. I know that about half of the complex data entry forms use flash.. Sometimes I get error messages and I can't really follow what technology it is using .. But it looks chock full of flash and web services .. And every where I turn we have new users with ie comparability problems.. And now we can't push out windows eight or even server 2012 without being able to use our erp system from those machines . I just wish I could somehow look behind the curtains to find out more about this app. We have three proper environments production, day old copy and test.. And I'm just dying to get to understand more about this app. Again sorry for being vague.. My company got purchased in December the parent company that bought us had only fifteen employees on their corporate office while we had more like 300.. And the parent company had bought a new company like every twelve to eighteen months .. And we're laying off all of our programmers but me so I've just got to make some progress to help save our users from mindless data entry. I think that I'm the only one in our company than really does any webdev other than my bosses boss.. But I am sorely out of date myself.. Ideally.. I'd consider using the web browser control in vb in order to automate downloading a couple of reports.. Or if i could use a test harness that used ie it would really save a lot of time for us. Right now we literally have temps that download reports once every fifteen minutes and then emails to about 100 people so that we can actually shop products. I'm building systems that parse the reports once they are downloaded and shares the data via sql server .. We're making some good progress but it's just difficult to keep chugging along without asking the bigger questions. It's just like nothing I've ever seen.
