Re: [flexcoders] You are the product
The general consensus is that a. People hate Flash. ( dont really know why!!! after reading all the HTML 5 vs Flash articles... ) / Developers hate javascript ( atleast the people who like the OOP paradigm! ). b. Developers love AS3. ( Its the next best thing to chocolate! ) / People love nice UI. The holy grail is to create something that "doesnt require flash" but can be "programmed with as3" or something similiar and runs on a browser "without any plugin".

Re: [flexcoders] You are the product
Hmmm. I doubt that would be possible. The problem has never been with compiling the code as such. Its about how the compiled code is finally "used". Since we are going to be replacing / removing the Flash Player from the picture, whether we compile the code on the server end or compile the code on the client end it really doesnt matter.

Re: [flexcoders] You are the product
All that adobe needs to do is, start attempting to replace the current JS with AS3. Currently AS3 is a compiled language and JS is an interpreted language. Now can adobe come up with an interpreter for as3?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex to HTML5 Conversion tool?
If my understanding is right, Adobe is working on it currently. So you might have to wait for another 6 months or so.

Re: [flexcoders] Is it possible to add Flex components to the Stage?
Flex is a complete framework and each and every component follows the rules of the framework. Without the framework running in the background its probably impossible to get a component working unless you do a lot of work to make it work. Perhaps much easier to write a separate AS3 component.

Re: [flexcoders] Trying to pass a value to the mxml/swf file from java(android).How?
In order to pass values to a swf you have a concept called as flashVars. If you come from a java / C background you would know that your main entry point in there is the main() function. This main function can be called without any arguments or with arguments..( if you are familiar with argc and argv[] ). FlashVars is something similiar to that concept. Just have a read about those and you should be able to get the proper answers.

Re: [flexcoders] What is the a correct lifecycle phase to add new child components?
With toggling the visibility property you are creating 1 Button per Item
Renderer.
When you are creating an object each time a user's mouse is over it, and
then deleting it when its out, you are creating 'n' number of objects and
deleting them , the new objects need to be garbage collected.
The initial load is going to be more ofcourse, but then its a set number
since you are only going to be creating a set number of buttons.

On a very simple basis you could just write all the data in the mobile app to a file, transfer the file to desktop and update the desktop app from the file? and vice versa ofcourse.

Re: [flexcoders] Mobile->Desktop Desktop->Mobile synching
As far as I know, there is no protocol that lets you sync a mobile app directly to a desktop app. You will , most probably have to go through a server ( in most cases a web server - since its one of the simplest way to do it. ) On Wed, Aug 24, 2011 at 6:28 PM, Amy wrote: > ** > > > Hi, all; > > I have been searching for a tutorial/example that shows how to get data > from a mobile app to a desktop version of the same app, and vice versa, but > I have only come up with examples that synch to the web.

[flexcoders] Flex Testing
Hi, My confusion lies in the fact that the currently in the application very few classes exist which do any kind of data manipulation ( And various components ) . All that the components do is get the data and display it on the display list. In such a scenario how do we test the application. What do people test in general? My application is flex front end ( UI ) for a PhP backend (data comes from here). I was wondering if someone could help me with testing in Flex. What I mean is, can you post me a code which contains a typical Flex Web App (UI heavy) and how you go about testing its contents? Any link or pointers here would be really helpful. I went through some examples that are given for testing. The one on adobe site which talks about accounts etc ( But in my case im not creating any non UI objects ). Also are there any test cases available for build in components ( Like Button or ComboBox? just for reference ) -- Regards, Ganaraj P R

Re: [flexcoders] Centering a Scaled Image ( Bug ? )
Hi,
Thanks. Yes. But that is a workaround right?
I wanted to know if this was a bug with flex! Or if there was an mxml way of
doing it.

[flexcoders] Centering a Scaled Image ( Bug ? ) [1 Attachment]
I was wondering if this was a bug with flex or if I was doing something totally wrong. The amount of code in this is extremely low, so , I was guessing that there was nothing wrong from my part. http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"> This is all the code there is in this application ( I am attaching the app, for your reference ) . My expectation from this code is that the image should fit the screen, maintain the aspect ratio of the image and finally be both centered horizontally and vertically! Can someone help me out in this ? -- Regards, Ganaraj P R

Can you tell us more specifically why you are not able to assign an id to the object? On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 7:36 AM, Tracy Spratt wrote: > > > I think the key here will be to make the event bubble.
