Re: Building FlexJS/Falcon

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

I figured out what the problem was.  I was using playerglobal.swc 21.0,
whereas 11.0 is hardcoded in compiler.tests build.xml.
I have applied a fix to the env-template.properties so others will
hopefully not run into this issue.

Thanks,
Om

In that case, Alex's option 2 will ensure that it will work the same way

So, I am trying these steps to compile Falcon (to compile FlexJS)   In the

Re: [2/2] git commit: [flex-falcon] [refs/heads/develop] - apparently, parseInt in JS should always specify the radix

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

I think the problematic part is where strings start with "0".  There might
be some browsers adding a radix of 8.  This is a supposedly deprecated
feature.  There is no way of knowing what the browser would do by default
in this case.

Thanks,
Om

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

>

I don't think that is the case.  ParseInt does this by default [1] :

If the radix parameter is omitted, JavaScript assumes the following:

   - If the string begins with "0x", the radix is 16 (hexadecimal)
   - If the string begins with "0", the radix is 8 (octal). This feature is
   deprecated
   - If the string begins with any other value, the radix is 10 (decimal)

Yes,  it would.   But there is a catch.  NPM insists on Semantic
Versioning.  It simply blocks me from publishing the same version twice.

We might want to add a -nightly.XX to the nightly builds name.

Apache FlexJS is now available as a npm package!

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Install via npm as: npm install flexjs -g

Package listing, Readme and usage details are here:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/flexjs

Please go through this page and let me know if there are some changes still
need to be made.

The code for the npm packager/installer is here:

https://github.com/apache/flex-utilities/tree/develop/npm-flexjs

P.S. I am ready for the FlexJS 0.6 release.

Thanks,
Om

I think we should follow the tried and tested release process no matter
what.   Otherwise, IMHO it would set a bad precedent.

Okay I see what you mean.  Unless they will go back and see the previous
report's numbers, it is better if we make it easier and say - XXX hits
since release.
I think it is a pretty good indicator because it is our kitchen sink app,
which folks would be most likely want to see if they are interested in the
product.

I guess what I am trying to see if the board has any suggestions or

Re: [DRAFT] Apache Flex March 2015 Board Report

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Just a few notes:

1.  I see several releases that did not happen in the last quarter.  Is
that necessary?
2.  I would like to see a note about work towards flexjs npm module
3.  The numbers look okay to me.  For TDF, I'd say get the numbers just for
this quarter.  If you get the uniques, they will be only for the date range
you specify.
4.  Most importantly, can we get some feedback on what the Board has to say
about the report and Apache Flex project?  Would be nice to see this
feedback shared with the community.  Right now, the board meetings are a
bit of a black box.

Thanks,
Om

Re: ApacheCon NA 2016

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Yes, my talk - Object Oriented Programming for the Web using Apache FlexJS
has been accepted as well.  I think March 8th is when they will be
releasing the schedule details.

Thanks,

Someone did a branding review of our flex.apache.org website.  It generally
has positive comments.

Do you mean work overhead?  That would be a one time thing, right?
Or runtime overhead? I doubt if porting over stuff to conform IUIBase would
cause runtime overhead...

Yes, biggest advantage is you get MXML support for free since everything is

Re: Forking the Falcon compiler for Starling/Feathers MXML generation

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

If I may, there might be a better approach by just doing it within the
FlexJS framework.  You should be able to create a
org.apache.flex.starling.Application.as class where a starling display list
is used instead of the regular display list.  You can follow the pattern
that the org.apache.flex.jquery.Application.as or
org.apache.flex.createjs.Application.as follows.

Once you have the basic application setup, you should be able to construct
individual components and use the Starling display list as you go.  You
might have to create a new version of UIBase (and possible other classes)
to use the starling display list instead.

And theoretically, for each of these starling based classes, you could have
the COMPILE::JS versions that do the same/similar thing on Canvas/WebGL.
Something along the lines of https://github.com/matrix3d/spriteflexjs

Just a thought.  I might be missing something big here.

Om

This is interesting.   Is there an example of this kind of pattern

It is reasonable for him to get frustrated about having to work only on
uncool things (like build stuff)  I know many of us are like that.

In any case, I am scampering to finish up the npm flexjs package before the
April 4th FlexJS conference.  I truly believe this will help folks get off
the ground with FlexJS in minutes.

I would love to look at your slides at my own time instead of selecting one
day and trying to squeeze everything in it.  Would you be able to share
your presentations with us?

I suggest you use the Ant plugin for Falcon for now and create Falcon
artifacts to unblock yourself so that you can proceed with mavenizing
FlexJS first.  And then come back to Falcon.

I think Alex has already taken time off his list of priorities to fix the
FlexJS folder structure to be more Maven like - per your request.  We need
to work with each other and be more flexible, don't you agree?

Alex,

The way I am reading this thread, I don't think folks are asking you to
make the changes.  They are generally asking if it is okay to make these
kind of changes.  It would be good if you are okay with the changes since
you are one of the affected parties.

Re: [FLEXJS] FlexJS Event: Monday April 4, 2016 in San Francisco

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

I quickly created an event here:
https://www.conferize.com/conferences/flexjs-world-tour---sf-bay-area

Can a couple of folks try to register (using LinkedIn, Twitter or Facebook)
and let's tweak it as needed.

Once we figure out registration details, I will go in add more details.
Then we can start publicizing the event.

Except that you can't do everything in AS3 that you can do in JS.  You
can't create global variables in AS3 :-)

In any case, any updates on the Client Track?  Is there a discussion going
on somewhere?

Okay, you can't do this in AS3 :-)

function foo()
{
  var var1 = "hello";
  var2 = "world"; // global variable
}

In other words, AS3 is always in "use strict" mode!

Re: [ApacheCon NA] Whose going and what topics?

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

I think this would be equivalent of having a Node.js talk at a client
conference.  i.e. someone immersed in client side technologies will be
interested in seeing what is a viable option among the server side
technologies.  Node.js seems familiar because it is Javascript based which
means that client side folks can quickly ramp up with it.

In the same way, we can highlight the fact that AS3 is closer to a language
like Java which means that server side folks (who know java) can rapidly
build web applications without having to learn a brand new type of
language.  Heck, this is why Flex got famous in the the first place.
Enterprise Java developers could suddenly build cool looking front end apps!

With FlexJS, it is the same.  The jump for a Java dev to go to FlexJS/AS3
is much smaller than the one to Javascript/AngularJS etc.  I guess this
this is how we need to project Flex and FlexJS.

And of course, we need some cool titles to attract people.  Justin gave a
talk titled - 'Treat your codebase like a crime scene'.  I am sure it got a
lot of attention :-)

I think if there are enough number of people interested in creating a
track, it wont be hard to make it happen.  And then it is a matter of
having sufficient number of talks in the track to fill the day(s)

I hope Chris can shed more light on this process.

Thanks,
Om

I was thinking of doing something along the lines of 'True OOP on the web
using Apache FlexJS and Apache Flex Falcon'.  I want to cover the basics of
Classes, Interfaces, Design Patterns, Web Components, Shadow DOM, etc.
using ActionScript3.

I am open to suggestions about this talk, including a better title ;-)

The proposal is to create a 'Client Track' that includes any and all topics
under Flex and Cordova (and any other Apache 'Client' projects that decide
to jump in)  In this approach you have a good chance of your talk included
as well.

Re: flexjs game hugryhero

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Any reason we want to embed images?  It makes sense in a swf because it is
a compact file format.

For the HTML version if we stick a big base 64 image in the minified code,
we are unnecessarily making the initial download size bigger.

A better approach would be to use spritesheets when dealing with image
data.   These spritesheets should be downloaded on demand like all other
assets.

Agreed that downloading assets individually is quite costly.  But Base64
encoding assets and sticking them in JS files is not a great way to solve
this problem.  You loose browser based caching for assets, sharing assets
across applications from same domain, along with an increased page load
time.  Also, Base64 encoded images are roughly 1.37 times the size of the
original image [1]

As I mentioned earlier, spritesheets are a much better alternative.  With
spritesheets, you incur only one additional download and it is pretty easy
to use. [2]
CSS even natively supports image sprites.

Instead, I would suggest having an external stylesheet that has the
definitions of all the base 64 encoded images and load it separately.  At
least it would be cache-able then.  The performance of this would be better
than embedding it in code, but comparable to the spritesheet method.

The problem I see is not with the encoding of the image as base64, but the
fact that we have to dump it in a JS or HTML file, thereby losing the
browser cacheability that a png or jpg provides.

Re: Names for FlexJS MXML

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

FlexJS uses the same exact MXML that Flex SDK uses.  It just operates on a
different default namespace - Flex SDK, with mx, spark, etc.  and FlexJS
with basic, js etc.  Structurally they are (should) be the same.

Re: [FLEXJS] POC MXML "Live" Editing

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Hmm, I followed all the steps.  But when I changed the width of the label
in MyInitialView.mxml and try to save the file, I am getting this error:

Could not write file:
C:\p\flexroot\workspace\DataBindingTest\src\MyInitialView.mxml.
C:\p\flexroot\workspace\DataBindingTest\src\MyInitialView.mxml (The process
cannot access the file because it is being used by another process)

Looks like the watch is causing this issue.  When I close that AIR app, I
am able to save the file fine.

This is on Windows, btw.

One really cool feature would be to have a website where we can invite

Re: [Flex] Map Component

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Cool.  I see the UK map rendering fine.

The next step is to figure out why the co-ordinates are not rendering.  The
key is to get the correct projection.  I am pretty sure GeoJSON
co-ordinates are in Mercator projection.

Here is a nice article that seems to be solving a similar problem.  See if
this helps:

Re: [Flex] Map Component

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Also, if you have not already seen it, ModestMaps has a pretty cool AS3
implementation.

https://github.com/migurski/modestmaps-as3

I have used it for desktop, web and iOS apps.  You can draw markers,
polygons etc. just like you would on google maps.

If you dont have a lot of success figuring out the earlier approach, see if
this works.

There is a Flex wrapper for this as well:
https://github.com/igorcosta/flex-maps

Yes, it is lat and long. Out is the output point which should get updated
during the projection.

Give me the list of lat/long co-ordinates and the end result shape they
should look like.  I will try out a few things and see we can make this
work.

Re: [Flex] Map Component

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

I took the coordinates from your earlier code and tried it out:

override protected function createMap():void
{
var mc:MercatorProjection  = new MercatorProjection();
mc.initialize();
var a:Array =  [
[151.2571536004, -33.743317043500042 ],

[151.2688710082, -33.757243991500047],
[ 151.2752446078, -33.756977721 ],
[ 151.28052790400011,-33.75872719199981 ],
[ 151.27875936, -33.768415808499981 ],
[151.2728225612, -33.76762191775 ],
[ 151.2702498568,-33.7746235014 ],
[ 151.2755205447, -33.779516363499738 ],
[151.27530051200017, -33.781854430499834 ],

[ 151.2555614406, -33.783829046499761 ],
[151.2433790083, -33.781951999499825 ],

[151.2338858883, -33.754605225500029 ],
[ 151.24911699200015,-33.75670499304 ],
[ 151.2498397124, -33.752049450499953 ],
[151.24830732800024, -33.75182643319 ],
[ 151.2483393605,-33.748172997499921 ],

[151.2571536004, -33.743317043500042 ]]
this.graphics.clear();
this.graphics.lineStyle(2,0xFF);
this.graphics.beginFill(0x99);
for(var i:int = 0; i < a.length-1; i++)
{
var ltlg:Array = a[i];
var p:Point = new Point();
p = mc.project(ltlg[0],ltlg[1], p);
this.graphics.lineTo(p.x,p.y);
}
this.graphics.endFill();
}

The resultant shape looks pretty much like a straight line, though.

Are you sure 151.2571536004, -33.743317043500042 is actually a valid
lat/long co-ordinate?  I am not able to plot it on google maps.

Thanks,

Duh, it is long/lat and not lat/long.  So yes, the co-ordinates are valid
and can be seen on Google Maps.
I will continue to experiment with this when I get some time.

Re: Bug in mxmlc script

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Ah, I see what's happening.  If I change the SDK by selecting 'Use a
specific SDK', it warns me about overwriting the html-template files.  But,
if I keep the 'Use default SDK' but change the default SDK in the
'Configurie Flex SDK's screen, then there is no such warnings.  The new
default SDK is immediately applied to all the projects in my workspace.
Everything else is intact.

Thanks,
Om

Re: [FlexJS] US States Map example - pure AS3

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Okay, I have created a map component from scratch in Flex.

Here is the basic code
https://github.com/bigosmallm/flexmapcomponent/tree/master/MapComponent

For now, this supports only a WorldMap.  You can follow the code and create
a UK map, it should be straightforward.

You can get your maps from wikipedia as svg files and load them as plain
xml files (like in WorldMap.as)

Hope this is a good starting point for you.

Thanks,
Om

You are right, it is still building 4.15.0

I think flex-sdk-description.xml needs to be updated.

Re: [FalconJX] Is it time to delete the FalconJS code?

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Maybe this will work (based on this stackoverflow answer [1])

1.  Move the code to its own branch.

2.  Then tag the branch:
git tag archive/ 

3.  Then delete the branch
git branch -d 

To restore the branch:

git checkout -b  archive/

+1 for a Client track.
Although we will be doing not just FlexJS, but also Flex web and  Flex
Mobile (which is kinda like a competitor to Cordova)

Apache Wicket might be a good target as well.

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Flex SDK 4.15 RC1

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

+1 Binding

Tested the source kits on Windows 7, 64 Bit, Java version "1.8.0_65"
MD5 checksum matches
Good signature
Source kit build successful
Ran ant -f installer.xml -Dair.sdk.version=19.0 and ant frameworks-rsls.
Build successful.
Flash Builder likes the new SDK.
Recompiled existing large Flex web application, everything runs fine
Recompiled exisiting large Flex mobile application, everything runs fine

(App seems to be running faster.  What did we do??)

Re: [ApacheCon NA] Whose going and what topics?

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

I would like to propose something on FlexJS or Flex Mobile, depending on
what others are doing.

Should we ask for a Flex track here as well?

Not necessarily.  If we have a track, there is a better chance of Flex
talks being accepted.  If we don't, then it is up in the air as to which
ones get selected.  At least, that's the impression I got from the
ApacheCon EU selection process.

Sure, that would be fun.  We need to come up with a cool name for 'JS.swc
usage'.  We have been lumping everything under FlexJS, which seems wrong.

It would be nice if someone else did a talk on Flex Mobile.  Any takers?
You don't have to be a committer or a PMC member to give a talk.

You are right, it was user error.  I did not run ant frameworks-rsls.
That's why FB did not like this SDK.

I retried everything from scratch, the correct AIR SDK (19.0) is being
downloaded as well.

Changing my vote to +1.

Turns out that WebComponents provides exactly these kinds of APIs.  And
they seem to be working (almost) fine with FlexJS/Falcon :-)

Here is how I am making this work:

MyButton.as

package {
public class MyButton extends HTMLButtonElement {
public function MyButton(label) {
super();
}
public function createdCallback() {
var sr = this['createShadowRoot'](); //TODO:FIXME
HTMLElement.createShadowRoot is typed to be an Object instead of a Function
sr.innerHTML = 'Click M';
}
}
}

WebProject1.as

package {

public class WebProject1 {
public function WebProject1() {
var MyButtonClass = document['registerElement']('my-button', { //TODO:FIXME
HTMLElement.registerElement is typed to be an Object instead of a Function
 prototype: Object['create'](MyButton['prototype']), //TODO:FIXME
Object.create and Object.prototype is missing
 'extends': 'button'});

var button = new MyButtonClass();
button.addEventListener("click", button_clickListener,false);
document.body.appendChild(button);
}
private function button_clickListener(event : MouseEvent) : void {
alert("Hello World");
}
}
}

A few things to note:

1.  The extended component has a few lifecycle methods; createdCallback
being one.  All code that usually goes in the Constructor should go in
here.
2.  Before instantiating the new component, a call to
document.registerElement should be made.
3.  Works only one Chrome and Firefox (need to enable WebComponents in
chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features and Firefox:
about:config, dom.webcomponents.enabled)
4.  Seems like MS Edge and Safari will be supporting this soon:
http://caniuse.com/#feat=shadowdom

I don't know how useful all this is, but is very cool that we can support
WebComponents out of the box.

I am going to experiment more with this!

Om

As I mentioned in the VOTE thread, the build is successful.
But when I ran ant -f installer.xml -Dair.sdk.version=19.0.  Reports 'build
successful,  C:\temp\4.15.0_test is now an IDE compatible folder', but
Flash Builder complains saying 'Directory does not contain a Flex SDK' and
AIR version 16.0 was downloaded.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Not necessarily.  I have Cygwin installed and it seems to work fine.  I
have not been able to test without Cygwin.  If we can use FlexJS on Windows
without Cygwin, that would be a big win.

What error do you get when you simply try to run asjsc without the full
path on Command Prompt?

That's perfect. We are discussing if we should have asjsc generate this
simple html file by default so that newcomers like you have a better first
impression and an easier starting point with FlexJS.

Techinically, there should be no difference.  They should exactly be the
same.  If there are differences, they would be considered bugs.  I have not
ported over the IDE based stuff from the Installer because this is intended
only for command prompt usage via node/npm.

That is great to hear.  That is exactly the idea.  Installing via the
Apache Flex Installer seems like a cumbersome way to introduce newcomers to
FlexJS.  And managing projects using npm seems to be the in thing in the
JavaScript world today.  Hence this attempt :-)

Thanks again for trying this out!

I am seeing this problem as well from Command Prompt.  I think we need to
use asjsc.cmd instead of asjsc for Command Prompt.  I will tinker with this
a bit and see if we can get this working.

Yeah, it's looking for sh.exe in some wrong location.  Which is the cause

[FlexJS] Extending builtin HTML elements

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Is this supposed to work?

MyButton.as
package {
public class MyButton extends HTMLButtonElement {
public function MyButton() {
super();
this.addEventListener("click", button_clickListener, false);
}
private function button_clickListener(event : MouseEvent) : void {

public class WebProject1 {
public function WebProject1() {
var button : MyButton = document.createElement("button") as MyButton;

This code compiles fine, but when I run it, I am getting a null for

That kind of worked.  Compiles fine and creates the button.  But MyButton's
constructor does not get called.  Any code I write inside MyButton.as seems
to be moot.

I'm wondering if document.createElementNS might be useful here?

I don't understand.   If you customize your index.html.template, how does
it matter if the app.html file gets destroyed and recreated each time?
This is how I have it setup.

I think a template is better for this purpose.

I suppose it does not work that way today?  I see all individual calls

I don't think so.  I've changed SDKs for a project several times; I never
had to redo the customizations I had done on index.html.template.  At least
FlashBuilder behaves this way.

I don't think mxmlc is supposed to work with this project.  We are having a
lengthy discussion about this in another thread.  Try compiling any project
under examples/flexjs with mxmlc.  Projects under examples/native will work
fine with asjsc.

Not sure how to test this at this point.  Once we resolve the discussion in
that other thread, we should be able to make progress on this use case.

Can you try this?

*npm uninstall flexjs -g*
*npm uninstall flexjs*
*npm cache clear*
npm install -g http://bigosmallm.github.io/flexjs/npm/flexjs-0.5.0.tgz

Looks like you did not do a -g when you did the install.  Can you double
check?

Here are the steps for a complete reset:

*npm uninstall flexjs *{No -g here because you installed it locally}
*npm cache clear*
npm install -g http://bigosmallm.github.io/flexjs/npm/flexjs-0.5.0.tgz

npm cache clear

npm most likely picked up the tarball from the cache for you.

I haven't tried it on Linux, but it looks like it should work fine.  Have

[FlexJS] Need your help testing the flexjs npm module

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Hi folks,

I now have the flexjs npm module working fine on Windows (Cygiwn) and Mac
OSX. Once again, here are the steps to test:


   1. If you don't have Node and/or npm installed, first install it
  - Windows: Use the Installer from https://nodejs.org.  Ensure that
  you select the 'npm package manager' option during installation. Use
  the Command Prompt here on.
  - Mac: Run *brew install node* from the terminal
   2. Make sure npm is available by running *npm -v*
   3. Run *npm cache clear*
   4. Now run *npm install
   -g http://bigosmallm.github.io/flexjs/npm/flexjs-0.5.0.tgz
   <http://bigosmallm.github.io/flexjs/npm/flexjs-0.5.0.tgz>*  (It takes a
   while to download all the dependencies and there are a couple of prompts
   you need to answer)
   This will install the entire FlexJS SDK and register asjsc and asjscompc
   as global binaries.
   5. Now run *asjsc <*your_actionscript_file_name.as*>*
   On windows, try this:
   asjsc
   
"C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\flexjs\examples\native\USStatesMap\src\USStatesMap.as"
   On OSX, try this:
   asjsc
   
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/flexjs/examples/native/USStatesMap/src/USStatesMap.as
   You should see the ActionScript file getting compiled to Javascript
   files in the folder ...\USStatesMap\bin


Everyone, please do try these steps and report your results.  We would like
to publish this as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Om

Thanks for the pointer!  I was not fixing up the flex-config and air-config
files as the Installer is doing.  Now everything works fine on Windows and
Mac!!

I will send out instructions on testing in the other thread.

Bug in mxmlc script

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

In the flexjs/js/bin/mxmlc script, I see that we are referencing the '
*/frameworks/js/FlexJS/src*' folder.

java $VMARGS $D32 $SETUP_SH_VMARGS -Dflexcompiler="$FALCON_HOME"
-Dflexlib="$FLEX_HOME/frameworks" -jar "$SCRIPT_HOME/../lib/mxmlc.jar"
+flexlib="$FLEX_HOME/frameworks" -js-output-type=FLEXJS*
-sdk-js-lib="$FLEX_HOME/frameworks/js/FlexJS/src"* "$@"

 But this folder does not come with the release build of FlexJS.  This is
causing the build using mxmlc to fail.

I was able to fix it by doing what asjsc does, i.e. adding '
*-external-library-path="$SCRIPT_HOME/../libs/js.swc"*'.  This seems to fix
the build issue with mxmlc.

So, is it okay to change the script to look like this?

java $VMARGS $D32 $SETUP_SH_VMARGS -Dflexcompiler="$FALCON_HOME"
-Dflexlib="$FLEX_HOME/frameworks" -jar "$SCRIPT_HOME/../lib/mxmlc.jar"
+flexlib="$FLEX_HOME/frameworks" -js-output-type=FLEXJS
-sdk-js-lib="$FLEX_HOME/frameworks/js/FlexJS/src"
*-external-library-path="$SCRIPT_HOME/../libs/js.swc"
*"$@"

Thanks,
Om

Re: Bug in mxmlc script

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

I think I get it.

I thought that the source code for js.swc was in
$FLEX_HOME/frameworks/js/FlexJS/src.
I guess that is not true?

The original problem was that asjsc does not create the index.html file.  I
was asked to use mxmlc for that.  (Refer to the npm install flexjs thread)

When I used the script in {installed_flexjs}/js/bin/mxmlc, it blew up
because it could not find the definitions for HTMLElement, SVGElement etc.
because they are in js.swc.  I don't think it blew up because of the
missing /frameworks/js/FlexJS/src folder.  Adding the external library path
to js.swc fixed this issue.

The way I did this was to create a new mxmlcnpm script and add this js.swc
library path in that.  Is that okay?

I guess another question is: what would be the best way to add ability to
create index.html capability to asjsc?

Thanks,
Om

Re: [FlexJS] Need your help testing the flexjs npm module

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Done!  Added mxmlc support which correctly outputs the html files as well.

(There is a bug in the mxmlc script that I had to fix, I will open a new
thread about that)

Try this to get mxmlc to work with npm:

*npm uninstall flexjs -g*
*npm uninstall flexjs*
*npm cache clear*
npm install -g http://bigosmallm.github.io/flexjs/npm/flexjs-0.5.0.tgz

Windows:
mxmlc
"C:\Users\omuppirala\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\flexjs\examples\native\USStatesMap\src\USStatesMap.as"

OSX:
mxmlc /usr/local/lib/node_modules/flexjs/examples/native/
USStatesMap/src/USStatesMap.as

You should see a working index.html in ...USStatesMap/bin/

Thanks,
Om

Re: [FlexJS] npm install flexjs

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

I have been able to make progress on this front.

I am able to install flexjs using this command on Windows and Mac:
npm cache clear
npm install http://bigosmallm.github.io/flexjs/npm/flexjs-0.5.0.tgz -g

On Windows, in Cygwin, when I run this:
asjsc
"C:\Users\omuppirala\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\flexjs\examples\native\USStatesMap\src\USStatesMap.as"

I am seeing the compilation go through properly with bin/js-debug and
bin/js-release folders created.  Although it is missing the index.html
file.  I am pretty sure I am missing some step somewhere.


With the same exact code, on Mac, when I run:
omuppirala$ asjsc
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/flexjs/examples/native/USStatesMap/src/USStatesMap.as

mxmlc seems to run but I am getting this error:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/flexjs/frameworks/flex-config.xml:83
unable to open
'/usr/local/lib/node_modules/flexjs/frameworks/{playerglobalHome}/11.1'.
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/flexjs/frameworks/flex-config.xml (line: 83)
  

Any idea what's going wrong?

Thanks,
Om

Re: [FlexJS] npm install flexjs

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Yes, the folder structures are (should be) the same.   The weird thing is
that asjscompc is working fine without this error.

Can you try it out based on the instructions in the other thread?  I am
sure some things are obvious to you and easy to catch.

Thanks,
Om

Re: [FlexJS] How to test npm flexjs module

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Hmm, looks like a common enough error.
https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/5133

Can you first try to see if  this fixes it?
npm cache clean
Then run the install again.

If not,  try it as sudo.

Hopefully one of the solutions should work.

Thanks,

It looks like folks who install node/npm using homebrew are going to ruin
into this problem.

https://gist.github.com/DanHerbert/9520689 has a nice explanation and a fix
for this issue.

Re: [FlexJS] npm install flexjs

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

I got the FlexJS 0.5 installed via the Installer and the call to asjsc from
that folder seems to work fine.

So, I don't think it is a Java version conflict.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Om

[FlexJS] How to test npm flexjs module

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

Here are the steps on how to test the npm flexjs module.

   1. If you don't have Node and/or npm installed, first install it
  - Windows: Use the Installer from https://nodejs.org.  Ensure that
  you select the 'npm package manager' option during installation. Use the
  Command Prompt here on.
  - Mac: Run *brew install node* from the terminal
   2. Make sure npm is available by running *npm -v*
   3. Now run *npm install -g
   http://bigosmallm.github.io/flexjs/npm/flexjs-0.5.0.tgz
   *  (It takes a
   while to download all the dependencies and there are a couple of prompts
   you need to answer)
   This will install the entire FlexJS SDK and register asjsc and asjscompc
   as global binaries.
   4. Now run
*asjsc http://your_actionscript_file_name.as>> *You should at least see some
   relevant error messages.  Once you have this running, you are at the same
   page as me.
   5. Run *asjscompc  *This seems to work, but would be nice to have
   confirmation


Now you can help me debug the issues (especially Alex) :-)

Thanks,
Om

[FlexJS] npm install flexjs

[OmPrakash Muppirala]

I have this working locally.   If the user has npm and Java installed on
their machine, they can now simply do:

*npm install flexjs -g*
(or should it be npm install apache-flexjs -g?)

This will download all the dependencies (which has some bugs for now, will
get to that in a bit), register the asjsc and asjscompc files as global
binaries.

One issue I am currently facing is, when I do this:

C:\Users\omuppirala\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\flexjs\examples\native\USStatesMap\src>asjsc
USStatesMap.as

I am getting this error:
Error: Could not find or load main class
org.apache.flex.compiler.clients.MXMLJSC

This looks familiar, but I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Any pointers?

P.S.  I will upload this flexjs npm module as a tarball on to my personal
site from where the rest of the folks can test.  Once we iron out all the
kinks, I will set about publishing the module to the npm repository.

Thanks,
Om
