You can iframe it in an app. I did that here: http://apps.facebook.com/startupfans However I'm trying to figure out how to get the app in a box in a fan page and struggling also.

RE: [Flashcoders] Q: Including class at compile w/o explicitly instantiating it
Hey Rick, no need to create an instance, but do create a variable of that
type, so the compiler knows to include that class in the package.
var ssc:SomeSweetClass;
===
Or simply cast to it in your call
classRef = getDefinitionByName(com.sweet.SomeSweetClass) as Class;
var mySweetness:SomeSweetClass = SomeSweetClass(new classRef());
==
Alternatively you can use compiler directives that tell flex builder to
package that class into the build, but that's annoying ;)

Try just doing:

Hi everyone, it's my first time posting to the board.
I'm trying to figure something out, or if it's even possible. I would
like
to dynamically instantiate a class (via getDefinitionByName) but without
explicitly instantiating the object prior in the class.
An example (this is what I would like to be able to do):
package
{
import com.sweet.*;
import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
public class Foo
{
public function Foo()
{
classRef = getDefinitionByName(com.sweet.SomeSweetClass) as
Class;
var mySweetness:Object = new classRef();
}
}
}
I figured that the import would take care of it, but it doesn't. I have
to
do at least one 'var ssc:SomeSweetClass = new SomeSweetClass();' and then
it
will work. If not, then I get a reference error like:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable SomeSweetClass is not defined.
Is there any way to do this with Run-Time libraries, or some directive or
metadata or something? Or is there something really obvious that I'm
missing?
t.i.a!

RE: [Flashcoders] The great CS3 Swindle
Do you guys not understand supply and demand? At least we're not faced with a functional price offering with exponential dropoff leaving the consumers without fat pockets with the only option to wait a year for the price to be reasonable. I'd imagine they could charge 5 times as much for the first month of release, and there would still be clients who would buy it instead of waiting for the second month where it would be twice as much, or the third month for it to be the price its at now. In fact, if you think about the country gap in that respect, it makes sense it would be more expensive over there since products and goods coming from the US usually take longer to get over there, if they want it at the same time as us they have to pay more ! =D Seth -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Dowdell Sent: Friday, March 30, 2007 1:04 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] The great CS3 Swindle Mike Mountain wrote: Thanks for the response John, please don't take this personally, - but I suspect the legitimate reason is because we can ... and if that's the case, then I'd like to see those decisionmakers defend it in open debate.

RE: [Flashcoders] The great CS3 Swindle
The point here is that the markets supply of products to accomplish what these products can accomplish is relatively low. Its true that the software can be duplicated at no cost, so supply in the count of goods function you're initially introduced to map to cost of goods is not what I'm implying here. If the market's supply of these products was numerous, the demand for it would be relatively low. However new features not found in any other offering make the market's supply of such products relatively low, thus the demand is very high. In fact, I bet there are companies that would pay Adobe to _raise_ the prices, just to give their competition further barriers to entry.

RE: [Flashcoders] OT - Installing PHP, MySQL?
Its easy enough - is it Apache or IIS? Installation for php still has the occasional hiccup over needing to move some files into the windows directory, or not realizing older versions of dll's from previous php installations are there and screwing up your new versions install. And sometimes IIS is a bit more painful than the apache installation.

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3... when to start?
If you have an ounce of artist in you please avoid Flex. I would disagree with this entirely. Flex frees up an artist to focus on the areas they want to work with. If you're a UI artist, sure, avoid flex. Telling an artist to avoid flex in flash development would be like telling a video game developer to avoid directx. Not all sites use that many flex components, but they're a good tool when needed.

Hi all, I just picked-up Actionscript 3.0 Cookbook (O'Reilly) today, and found myself pondering this: Is it time to make the switch from v2 to v3 AS? That (as always) depends on your goal (project). If you're into RIA's, Flex+AS3 is probably better suited for the job. Third paragraph states: This book assumes that you have obtained a copy of Flex Builder 2 and have successfully installed it on your computer. ... What happened to coding in Flash? Am I waiting for the next version of Flash until I can successfully and/or easily write AS3 via the Flash application? I think the above answer applies here as well. Will the future of Flash AS always require the Flex Builder? Or, is Flex Builder just one out of many/few code editors for compiling the new AS3 code? Flex Builder is just another AS editor. It just happens to be ahead of the Flash IDE when it comes to AS-version. AS3 for the Flash IDE is currently only available through the AS3 alpha preview (http://labs.adobe.com) If I only want to animate some objects around the stage programatically (for something like a website header), should I just make the switch to AS3 (if player versions were not an issue), or is AS2 still an acceptable way of producing small action-scripted movies? I see no reason why you'd switch to AS3 for this kind of work. Links? Blog posts? Articles? Am I over-complicating things? What kind of links/articles are you looking for? http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flash9as3preview/ http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/ http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/ http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/ http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mxna/ As for over-complicating things, I'd say, yes ;-) Flex/Flex Builder was made because Flash (as a technology) has become more and more powerful and more and more programmers with all kinds of backgrounds (Java, .NET, etc..) started using it (or wanted to) but found the Flash IDE lacking, especially compared to other tools available for other languages. So Flex/Flex Builder is not here to replace the Flash IDE, but (finally) gives those that are more into the programming side of things a powerful and robust tool that they're probably already comfortable with, since it's based on Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org) older articles explaining Flex + AS3 http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flex2_flash.html http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex2_intro.html I think the following quote (from Nigel Pegg) sums it all up: We Call This 'The Timeline.'

Re: [Flashcoders] Flex + web services Was: Remove elements from Array
The answer to your question is - you can consume any web service. I reccommend you look into fluorine for a web service that will actually convert c#.net classes into AMF3 objects returned from the web service call. Certain objects do not have a direct AMF representation - your dataset class is probably an example, unless it is just a class that contains a few members that are representable within AMF such as strings, arrays of strings, and so on.

I have been considering FLEX 2.0, but when BS I spoke with the guy at Adobe, the first thing he told me was that BS FLEX could not consume web services without Flex Data Services and BS the price he quoted me for the Departmental License was (well, BS lets not say).

Flex applications are able to use web services, as any Flash application can use them. See the docs for details: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/1095.html Flex Data Services is a big addition of course, but it is not always required - if the simple request-response method is enough for you and don't need proxying or other sophisticated server-side things, then you can go without FDS.
