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.
