RE: Top 5 highest demands on Flex - Design View
Hi Sugan, After I've played with these three Design View Tools, the only one seems promising is http://www.radii8.com/demo/ . Although the flex components of that demo provides are incomplete, I'm impressed that it can export flex to html and android on the fly, I got say I did not expect that! I'll tell my friends to try the demo, thanks~ https://github.com/igorcosta/ApacheFlexUIBuilder This one works too, but lack of options to do complex jobs. http://designview.sourceforge.net/# And this one is out of date, it's based on old flex mx frameworks, which is abandoned by new verions of Flex. Now let's figure it out how to incorporate the Design View Application into official Apache Flex release, should we just build our own Design View Application and publish it on flex.apache.org, or ask third-party organizations like radii8.com to donate their works? Well it's just my silly thought, I know eventually if we want it, we have to do it ourselves : D DarkStone 2014-03-14 -- View this message in context: http://apache-flex-development.247.n4.nabble.com/RE-Top-5-highest-demands-on-Flex-Design-View-tp35791p35796.html Sent from the Apache Flex Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
RE: Top 5 highest demands on Flex - Design View
Hi Darkstone, Radii8 - Yeah. I was also impressed with the export to Flex, HTML Android, I also did not expect that. I wonder if companies like IntelliJ, etc. would collaborate with Radii8 or Radii8 to collaborate with the Apache Flex Team. Design View seems to be an on-going request. If we want attract more developers to Apache Flex, this is a core marketing feature. This is what attracted many new developers to Flex in the first place. Imagine integrating this with FlexJS.. I will try and contact Radii8, see if they are interested.
