RE: [flexcomponents] 3rd Party Component Explorer

[Ted Patrick]

Karl,   I agree that this would be a great add-on to Eclipse/Flex Builder. This would be ideal as a later stage feature digesting the XML/HTML/API we deliver.   I believe you can do this today similar to the Flex Style Explorer in Flex Builder simply via URL.   Let’s try to solve the content syndication problem first. It is hard for developers to find 3rd party components for Flex currently and we can make this much better. Hopefully with some exposure we can get everyone some projects/revenue/work.   Cheers, Ted Patrick Flex Evangelist Adobe Systems Incorporated     From: flexcomponents@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcomponents@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Karl Johnson Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 9:24 AM To: flexcomponents@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcomponents] 3rd Party Component Explorer   Hey Ted!   Just a quick thought, not sure if you already considered this, but it would be very cool if you could produce this as an eclipse/FB2 plugin! So people could browse the list of components from withing Flex Builder and utilize them without even having to open a browser.   Anyway, just a thought that popped into my head.   Karl   From: flexcomponents@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcompone[EMAIL PROTECTED]com] On Behalf Of Ted Patrick Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 12:02 PM To: flexcomponents@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcomponents] 3rd Party Component Explorer After you get your component added to the Flex Exchange at http://www.adobe.com/exchange/ ... I have been thinking about putting together a 3rd Party Component Explorer and XML document containing all 3rd party components for Flex. The application would contain working examples and allow developers looking for component to try them out. I am looking at the workflow for this so that it is easy to maintain and automated: Post a Form on Flex.org Author/Company Contact Information (URL/Email) URL to crossdomain.xml URL to SWF Example URL to MXML Example Source Approval Process Posted This would all be wrapped into an app identical to the current component explorer.
