RE: desktop application
Take a look at the HTA application framework from Microsoft (go to masdn.microsoft.com and choose "library", then choose "Web Technologies" then "HTA"). I've been using it recently and it's pretty sweet. Basically all it is a single tag that informs IE to open in an "application mode" - no browser chrome, right click, menu, etc and gives it the same system access as any other application - you can (using _javascript_ and COM objects) call web pages, write to the file system or system registry, access hardware resources (scanners, cameras, etc) and whatnot. The applications themselves are built totally in IE using HTML/DHTML/CSS/Script/etc - all the web technologies that you know and love. You can embed Flash (or other plugins) into the app just like you would in any web page. Really fun stuff. Jim Davis _ From: Burns, John D [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 2:58 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: SOT: desktop application I have a question about what the best practice would be for creating a desktop application. I do websites for some different bands, and they all have an e-mail sign-up on their website. Most of them also have some kind of a paper sign-up at concerts for people to sign up for the email list. I was considering building an app that would run on a desktop to allow people at concerts to enter their email address and write it to a text or xml file that could then be uploaded to the webserver and parsed into the database. My question is what would be the best method to do this? I was thinking of doing the front end in Flash but I'm not sure how to write to a file from there.

RE: cfimport
CFIMPORT is a compile-time thing, and since each CF page is compiled into a separate class, you have to use CFIMPORT in every template you need the tag library. Not once per request, once per template. And since it's a compile-time thing, if you use mappings in your CFIMPORT path (possible in 6.1), and then change the mapping, you must delete all your compiled classes and cycle CFMX.

RE: desktop application
Actually, although I found my solution in SharedObjects, I did find an
example online that will let you write to a text file straight through
Flash. It uses the following line to write the file:
fscommand("writeToDisk", textBox);
It says it only works on Windows, so I'm assuming the "writetodisk"
command is something that only is supposed in the windows version of
flash. Just thought I'd share.

You can't get Flash to save a .txt file on the client on it's own. To
do that, you'll need a 3rd party projector creator (Something SWF
Studio, Flash Jester, or ScreenWeaver). ScreenWeaver is my
projector-creator of choice.
Then, each projector creator offers an ActionScript API to enable some
"advanced" features like writing to a text file. In ScreenWeaver, you
could do something like this:
var fileName = "something.txt"
var contents = "Hey, this is what should be placed in the file"; var
bAppend = false; // don't append if the file already exists
function onFileSave(success) {
if (success) {
// file saved ok
} else {
// file could not be saved
}
}
swFile.saveString(fileName, contents, bAppend, onFileSave);
The other option, if you don't want to go the 3rd party route, is to
uses Shared Objects in Flash (requires Flash MX). You can do this
natively in Flash, but it won't create a text file.. it creates a binary
file that you can read in later.
Shared Objects look like this:
myData = SharedObject.getLocal("someData");
if (myData.data.content.length) {
// content stored.. we can retrieve the value by referencing:
myData.data.content
}
// set some data
myData.data.content = "This is some text to save for later";
myData.flush(); // write the contents immediately
Good luck..

that, you'll need a 3rd party projector creator (Something SWF Studio, Flash
Jester, or ScreenWeaver). ScreenWeaver is my projector-creator of choice.
Then, each projector creator offers an ActionScript API to enable some
"advanced" features like writing to a text file. In ScreenWeaver, you could
do something like this:
var fileName = "something.txt"
var contents = "Hey, this is what should be placed in the file";
var bAppend = false; // don't append if the file already exists
function onFileSave(success) {
if (success) {
// file saved ok
} else {
// file could not be saved
}
}
swFile.saveString(fileName, contents, bAppend, onFileSave);
The other option, if you don't want to go the 3rd party route, is to uses
Shared Objects in Flash (requires Flash MX). You can do this natively in
Flash, but it won't create a text file.. it creates a binary file that you
can read in later.
Shared Objects look like this:
myData = SharedObject.getLocal("someData");
if (myData.data.content.length) {
// content stored.. we can retrieve the value by referencing:
myData.data.content
}
// set some data
myData.data.content = "This is some text to save for later";
myData.flush(); // write the contents immediately
Good luck..

Re: OT: Flash pop-up help
I posted this earlier, but I think it got lost when my mailserver went down. Try calling _javascript_:parent.function() instead of _javascript_:function() I vaguely remember having to do something like that. Unfortunately, I was working with a Flash developer who has all the FLA files, so I can't just go check. --Ben Bryan Stevenson wrote: > Hey Ben, > > Can you fire up a sample getURL() call with window.open and some window > properties set?

RE: Of Flash, Flex and Accessibility
Supposedly, the Movie symbols in Flash are screen readable, but not graphic symbols. Here is Macromedia's accessibility section which includes information about each product's capabilities and developer tools to help meet 508 compliancy: http://www.macromedia.com/macromedia/accessibility/ HTH, Ryan Kime -Original Message- From: Morgan Senkal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 10:37 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Of Flash, Flex and Accessibility I have seen lots of claims by MM that the Flash player (version?) as well as Flex and even CFMX all have 'built-in' accessibility support. My question is, exactly how accessible is the Flash player, and by extension Flex? What tools are included that enable accessibility? As a government agency, we are mandated by law to be 508 compliant, which at this time we are. If we were ever to consider any sort of move towards an RIA and implementing Flash and/or Flex (however unlikely at this time) these questions must be answered. _ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Re: desktop application
Well you'd sign up for a decent Flash forumbuy a book...learn Flash and it's methods of writing to files without an application server ;-) There is a definite learning curve here...and a couple of simple lines aren't gonna make it less painful ;-) It's been a while since I playe with Flash MX...but I'm sure there are easier way...better components than when I played last. You could also build a client/server app with something like Sybase's PowerBuilderwould run off a local database.. Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

Probably depends on one or more of the following: 1. Does the application server cache the connection when the same database is queried twice, or does it use two separate connections? 2. Are the databases local or remote? For remote, the quality of the network connection would dictate how quick the results were returned. 3. What DBs are being used (MSSQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Access)? 4. The specs of the hardware running the DBs. 5. How well are the DBs and SQL statements optimized (e.g., column indexes and join syntax, respectively)?

repost of earlier question on cfhttp -- 2nd post
I am going to try to simplify this up so that I might be able to get a better response this time: I am using cfhttp to create a static html page from a dynamic search results page. In the search results page I am using a cfinclude. Whenever I run the cfhttp page, the page that it is http'ing gets changed. The code that is included using cfhttp is no longer a cfinclude, it replaces cfinclude with the code that is in the cfinclude file. I have been researching this all day and cannot figure out why...any help? Is there a tag that I can surround the cfincluded stuff with to suppress the replacement? Anyone...anyone...Beuller?

RE: Of Flash, Flex and Accessibility
Flash (and I am assuming Flex) incorporates the MSAAPI (Microsoft Accessibility API), which (surprise!) only works on windows screen readers which incorporates it. Since Accessibility and 508 doesn't say only Windows, anything developed with Flash/Flex at the moment isn't truely accessibile since it shuts out anyone coming in on Mac, Linux, Unix, etc. While that might not be a huge portion of the population, its still a problem. The idea behind accessibility is to make your pages accessible to anyone from anywhere regardless of their machinery, or disability or ability. IMHO, Flash/Flex doesn't meet that standard. Sandy Clark http://www.shayna.com/blog ColdFusion, Fusebox, Web Standards, Accessibility and CSS _ From: Morgan Senkal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 11:37 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Of Flash, Flex and Accessibility I have seen lots of claims by MM that the Flash player (version?) as well as Flex and even CFMX all have 'built-in' accessibility support. My question is, exactly how accessible is the Flash player, and by extension Flex? What tools are included that enable accessibility? As a government agency, we are mandated by law to be 508 compliant, which at this time we are. If we were ever to consider any sort of move towards an RIA and implementing Flash and/or Flex (however unlikely at this time) these questions must be answered. _ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

OT: Flash pop-up help
Hey All, I want to open a window from in side a Flash movie using _javascript_. So far all I've been able to do is open the window using the getURL() function with a target of "_blank". This gets me the window I want, but when I use "window.close();" in the pop-up window to allow users to close it, that annoying "The web page you are viewing is trying to close this window. Do you want to close this window?" alert window. My assumption is that because the pop-up was not opened via _javascript_ that it whines when closed with _javascript_. All my other pop-ups that are popped from a regular web page (not from inside Flash) using _javascript_ do not show this alert when being closed via _javascript_. Of course it may also have something to do with the pop-up being launched from inside Flash. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!! Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

Of Flash, Flex and Accessibility
I have seen lots of claims by MM that the Flash player (version?) as well as Flex and even CFMX all have 'built-in' accessibility support. My question is, exactly how accessible is the Flash player, and by extension Flex? What tools are included that enable accessibility? As a government agency, we are mandated by law to be 508 compliant, which at this time we are. If we were ever to consider any sort of move towards an RIA and implementing Flash and/or Flex (however unlikely at this time) these questions must be answered.

RE: Do I need to be retrained?
You have a good foundation with 4.5, but I would take a MX class because there are so many new things. I would hate to see you revert to 4.5 techniques when there might be a better way (i.e. JAVA, CFCs, and webservices). Take the CFMX class and get a good SQL book to hold you over until you can get some SQL Server training. -Original Message- From: Claremont, Timothy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 10:46 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Do I need to be retrained?

Well, even 5.0 to MX was a fairly big jump. 4.5 to MX will be even tougher. There's a lot of new stuff (especially in the CF Administrator) If it's not a necessity to go to SQL right now, I'd go for MX. You can do CF without SQL, but if you're a SQL brainiac and can't manage your CF, it doesn't do you much good.

[DWMX2K4] Does this feature sound familiar?
I can't remember where this was, what software had it, and how you even got to it, but I'll describe what it was, and someone pipe up and tell me I'm either crazy, or I just need to dig deeper to find it... I seem to recall that in some prior version (maybe even Studio?) that you could highlight an entire selection of code, in code view, and "collapse" it. This was SUPER convenient when you were trying to navigate some deadly nested code, as you could collapse portions of code and "restrict" your overall view of the code... Please tell me I explained that correctly. Now my question...is such a feature hiding in DWMX2004? And if not...why the F not? lol...

RE: how to get rid of the new line character
Why not create a database table and import it in there. You should be able to adapt my code a bit to do that. Create an array of structs and import that.
I am sorry, but I haven't got more time for you now. It's already evening here and I have to go to band prctice. If I can find the time this weekend I will write some code for you. It's easter holidays here and we are leaving on vacation, so I don't know if I will be able to do it. I will be back on the list in a week.

Thats the size of a large image (most detailed screen shots are about that high).
