Thanks  Srinivas it is precious information that is also working for you! :) 

No I didn't contact with adobe, just tried release version. So you have to
work with debug version in another browser and have hope it will be working
the same in release version on Safari.

If they adobe respond just let me know.

Piotr,

I first posted on the Apple Support Communities page:

But that didn’t help at all and I was sent off to www.apple.com/feedback
There’s no direct link there as they’re not listing the feedbacks.

Since you’re experiencing this problem also on the next-next version of Safari
I’m starting to get a bad feeling as to whether this is deliberate!?

 That is, assuming that a 3rd party component developer has a freely
 available download that we could use.  It is not a very likely
scenario.
 Maybe we need concrete examples.  If your component isn't freely
 available, maybe the app that exhibits it should be in the showcase?


Do you mean 'should not'?
I meant should.  If you won't disclose the source code, that app is a
better fit for the showcase than the explorer with its source views.


 Or are you talking about components that aren't free?  Good question if
 for-pay components are a good fit for Apache TDF.


We need to support free and non-free component developers.  Otherwise we
will never see enterprise components in the wild.  That is one of the
reasons we don't have a good public showcase in spite of great apps being
built on top of Apache Flex.
Apache has been conservative about looking like it is promoting
for-profits so we have to be careful, but if nobody else objects I'm fine
with it.



 And, if we get clearance from the Incubator to make changes to our
version
 of TDF on our site, then we could add them to the site version but not
the
 Apache version.


Please elaborate.  I am not sure what the difference is.
Well, we may not want explorer.xml in the git repo to list these
third-party examples, but the one on the site (or compiled into the one on
the site) could.


Finally, why can't we just hotlink if the 3rd party folks are okay with
it?
Can do that too, but then there is increased risk of failure of that
external url stops working.

The third parties have to separately donate their examples.  Adobe did not
have the right to donate, and I decided to just get this in instead of
chasing folks down.  I still don't want to take the time to chase folks
down, but if they are still following us on this list, hopefully they will
speak up and donate their code.

Unless it is a truly elaborate example, I would argue that attaching to a

We dont want 3rd party folks to donate example sources to us.  It would be
better if they hosted the swf and mxml files on their sites and we load it
externally.  We would just need to update the explorer.xml app from our
side.

That is what Adobe used to recommend as well [1]

Otherwise, to build and example swf, 3rd party folks have to donate their
library swcs to us (they wont want to donate the source of the components)
That is not acceptable to us because we cannot have binary artifacts in our

Ah, I might have misunderstood the question.  The samples you linked to
use 3rd party components, but I didn't find any evidence they were written
by non-Adobe folks so they were donated.  If that turns out not to be the
case, and folks can verify that these were not written by Adobe folks, we
need to find the author and get permission.

Other content was actually written by non-Adobe folks.  Identifying
copyrights were found and those examples were removed from the donation.

AIUI, as long as we can build TDF by downloading third-party SWCs as part
of the build process it doesn't even have to be compatibly-licensed.  We
might have to note such content in the README or in the UI.  But you are
right that it adds complexity.

In the SDK, Adobe font libraries are downloaded because font embedding is
an optional feature.  I would argue that a 3rd party sample is also an
optional feature of TDF.

Oops, we don't.  Let me quickly add that.

 We
 might have to note such content in the README or in the UI.  But you are
 right that it adds complexity.

 In the SDK, Adobe font libraries are downloaded because font embedding is
 an optional feature.  I would argue that a 3rd party sample is also an
 optional feature of TDF.


Adobe has decided to make it freely available.  Other 3rd party developers
may choose not to, but still want to showcase the component because it is
still technically built on top of Flex.

 We dont want 3rd party folks to donate example sources to us.  It would be
 better if they hosted the swf and mxml files on their sites and we load it
 externally.  We would just need to update the explorer.xml app from our
 side.
 
 That is what Adobe used to recommend as well [1]
 
 Otherwise, to build and example swf, 3rd party folks have to donate their
 library swcs to us (they wont want to donate the source of the components)
 That is not acceptable to us because we cannot have binary artifacts in
 our
 releases.

  Hi,
 
   In the original tour-de-flex, there was a section with third party
 tools
  -
   there were a number of third party tools (including ours -
  flexicious.com)
   is there something we can do to resurrect this?
 
  Mind raising a JIRA for this?
 
  I believe there were some 3rd party examples in the donation but we
 would
  probably need to get permission for each owner before including them
 and on
  our side there may be complexity around building, bundling and licensing
  (unless the 3rd party code is also Apache licensed).

Maybe we need concrete examples.  If your component isn't freely
available, maybe the app that exhibits it should be in the showcase?

Or are you talking about components that aren't free?  Good question if
for-pay components are a good fit for Apache TDF.

And, if we get clearance from the Incubator to make changes to our version
of TDF on our site, then we could add them to the site version but not the

Do you mean 'should not'?

We need to support free and non-free component developers.  Otherwise we
will never see enterprise components in the wild.  That is one of the
reasons we don't have a good public showcase in spite of great apps being
built on top of Apache Flex.

Please elaborate.  I am not sure what the difference is.

Finally, why can't we just hotlink if the 3rd party folks are okay with it?

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Apache Flex TourDeFlex 1.0

2014-08-25 Thread Flexicious.com
Just wanted to chime in since we went through this with folks at Adobe to
get our stuff listed anyway. What we gave them was a link to the component
hosted off our site, and I believe they had flex-iframe or something
similar load up the content. They had asked for a link to the actual
component demo, and one link for the source tab, so for example, under
third party we had a few of our products listed:

We didn't get Adobe's published version of the explorer so had to make a few 
changes. However the new explorer can support that.

Thanks,

 I meant should.  If you won't disclose the source code, that app is a
 better fit for the showcase than the explorer with its source views.


Oh, you mean the Flex Showcase.  But that is for production released apps
and they don't contain examples and code.  I can build a component on top
of Flex, and publish a list of example code snippets on how to use the
component.  There should a be a pace in TourDeFlex for this.

 Apache has been conservative about looking like it is promoting

I really hope no one objects to this.  Flex is nothing without support from
enterprise companies and 3rd party developers.

 Well, we may not want explorer.xml in the git repo to list these
 third-party examples, but the one on the site (or compiled into the one on
 the site) could.


Ah okay.  I think we need to split that up at some point.



 
 Finally, why can't we just hotlink if the 3rd party folks are okay with

 Can do that too, but then there is increased risk of failure of that
 external url stops working.


You run that risk even if you try to download the dependencies during
building.  At least with this option, we will have a lot more eyes making
it easier to catch and fix issues.

Hi,

I believe we need to be careful and not be seen as directly endorsing any 3rd 
party but I think it should posisble be able to do that.

 Well, we may not want explorer.xml in the git repo to list these
 third-party examples, but the one on the site (or compiled into the one on
 the site) could.
Then how do we merge new releases of TourDeFlex? I'd really prefer if they are 
in sync to make a release managers job / updating easier.

 Can do that too, but then there is increased risk of failure of that
 external url stops working.
If an external links break (and it's marked as external) and i'st looks bad for 
the 3rd party not us. Having one or two non function examples is also not the 
end of the world IMO.

Justin

Hi,

 Flexicious Dashboard Framework:
 ​​
 Example link:
 http://www.flexicious.com/resources/dashboard30/componentsample.html

Give this is more of a dashboard explorer than small discrete examples perhaps 
the showcase is a good place for it? Of course I don't see why something can't 
be in both places. May required slightly different content in both places.

Thanks,
