All, I'm just about to post out an FAQ to the Flexcoders list; this has been compiled by a number of active contributors to the Flexcoders list, in attempt to not only address some of the more common questions that are posed to the list, but to emphasise some guidelines for those posting to Flexcoders, as to how to best ensure that your questions are appropriate, and are answered. We shall configure the list to send out the Flexcoders FAQ once a month, as well as to all new list members on subscription. Big up to everyone who contributed to the FAQ, and especially to Matt Chotin who took the bit between his teeth to get this initiative off all of our todo lists.

[flexcoders] [Admin] Flexcoders FAQ
Flexcoders Frequently Asked Questions Last Updated: 30th May 2005 - Contributors: Matt Chotin, Steven Webster, Alistair McLeod, Tariq Ahmed, Jeff Tapper, Peter Farland, Abdul Qabiz, Tracy Spratt, Jesse Warden, Dan Harfleet, Manish Jethani, Dimitrios Gianninas 1. What is Flexcoders? 2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Macromedia Flex Forum on www.macromedia.com? 3. Who posts to Flexcoders? 4. Resources to check before asking a question 5. Guidelines for effective question-asking 6. FAQ 1. What is Flexcoders? Flexcoders is a forum where developers can ask questions about Flex, FlexBuilder, and Flex-related technologies (like Cairngorm, FlexUnit and SynergyFLEX). The community is made up of everyday Flex developers as well as Macromedia employees. However, this is not an official Macromedia-sponsored forum, it is actually moderated by the folks at iteration::two, a consultancy responsible for authoring the book Developing Rich Internet Applications with Macromedia Flex. 2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Macromedia Flex Forum on www.macromedia.com? Both the Macromedia Flex Forum and Flexcoders provide help on issues related to Flex, and neither is an official support mechanism. Some people monitor both forums, some only one. It is up to you to decide where you might have a better experience getting a question answered and being able to subsequently help others. 3. Who posts to Flexcoders? Everyone who has a question or an answer. Many members of the Flex development team read and respond to Flexcoders as well as other Macromedia folks who monitor the community. Some recurring Macromedia folks are: David Mendels: EVP and GM, highest-level executive in charge of Flex. Lucian Beebe: Sr. Product Manager, Flex. Matt Chotin, Manish Jethani, Abdul Qabiz, Gordon Smith, Peter Farland and many more: Engineers on Flex. Active community members include: Steven Webster (Technical Director at iteration::two and co-author of Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex), Alistair McLeod (Development Director at iteration::two and co-author of Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex), Jesse Warden (JesterXL - Flash badass playing with Flex), Tracy Spratt (long-time member, holder of all knowledge related to 32K limits), Jeff Steiner (maintainer of www.flexauthority.com), Tariq Ahmed (maintainer of www.cflex.net), Jimmy Gianninas (long-time member, developer at Optimal Payments). And so many more! 4. Resources to check before asking a question The Flexcoders Mail Archive (better searching than YahooGroups): http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com http://www.cflex.net/showfaq.cfm http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/asdocs_en/index.html http://www.macromedia.com/go/flex15_java_livedocs http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm http://www.cflex.net http://www.flexauthority.com http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex http://coenraets.com http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mxna/ http://www.google.com The Book Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex (check your favorite bookstore) 5. Guidelines to effective question-asking Include a useful subject; this will help people find their own questions and answers later. Explain what you are trying to accomplish. Explain the error (include compilation errors or a description of the runtime behavior). Be prepared to break your problem down into a simpler scenario in case someone wants to try to debug the code themselves. Remember, private web services are inaccessible; you may need to create some dummy data to emulate problems. Phrases to avoid: URGENT (we all have deadlines, no one is intentionally delaying a response to you) Please send code (this is very frustrating to read as it implies you aren't interested in learning anything on your own. Where code is appropriate you can expect someone to provide it, but in many cases you will learn more by doing it on your own with appropriate guidance. It may be that you're on a deadline and just want to finish, but many of those who respond regularly would prefer to teach you to fish so that you can answer your own questions next time and even help out others). 6. Mini-FAQ Q: Can I mail Matt, Manish, Abdul, Pete, Gordon, iteration::two, or anyone else for that matter off-line with my question? A: Please don't! If someone is capable of answering your question on-list please believe that it will be done. Everyone on the list has full-time jobs doing their own work and often answer flexcoders on their own time; mailing them off- list doesn't endear you to them. If no one answers on-list in a reasonable amount of time (24 hours) you can try to rephrase the question and perhaps include more detail (including a version of the problem that

RE: [flexcoders] Form Questions (and frustrations)
Hi Mike, I use the FORM and FORMITEM tags whenever I want to use the automatic layout they provide. I'd say I use them about 75% of the time. The rest of the time, I just place a component(s) within the container that is appropriate. I guess the moral of the story is, doesn't matter what containers your components are laid out in, you can always apply the validators and then take the data and do as you please. Its not like HTML, where you have to use the FORM tag. HTML, remember that? Enjoy! Dimitrios "Jimmy" Gianninas RIADeveloper Optimal Payments Inc.

[flexcoders] Questions on Containers, and their drag-ability
Hello All, Of course, all containers have their specific uses, and depending on the preferences of the developer, a container that works well for one developer, may not be the preference for another developer. I can see this confusing some beginner developers, that may be confused as to which container is the most appropriate, for the present task at hand. Most containers bundled with Flex Builder (along with their given names) are obvious in their use, but some others, not so much... In fact, I would love some items added to the FAQ down the road, talking specifically about containers, and some of their interesting and novel uses they may have, that typical developers have not yet thought up. No matter which container I choose however, it would be nice to have them be able to be dragged across the desktop space. Just like the Alert box - which is automatically dragable. In my application, I OFTEN pop up detail screens, based on the current selections one layer below. The user can leave that detail window open as long as they choose, or they can close it. BUT, it's important that they can drag it around, so they can work in other areas of the application. With all this said, is there anything I should keep in mind, when selecting the proper containers (which will act like popup windows with title bars), etc.? In Flash MX, you would have to lay an invisible button over a custom made movie-clip, then add startDrag() and stopDrag() code, in order to drag a window around on the desktop. What is the proper method, of giving any type of window (or container for that matter), the ability to be dragged around? Thanks in advance for your insights, Mike Yahoo!

RE: [flexcoders] Form Questions (and frustrations)
YES! (regarding the HTML Tag comment you made)... I guess, when writing my code, MXML is SO similar to HTML, that it's striking a lot of nerves while I write... and that inherently makes me wonder if I am truly writing my code properly. Old habits die hard they say - and I just have to clear my head of all that HTML crap that I've learned over the years, and truly realize that MXML is a TOTALLY new language - it's just similar in structure... Well, I feel better now - because my app is almost 100% Forms - and validation... So of course, seeing every example thus far, using the Form tags, I really had to confirm that whole thing before proceeding any further. Thanks SO much for your input regarding this.

[flexcoders] Re: Question about two mxml pages
Hi, There is no such thing as going from one MXML page to another. In Flex, all MXML and AS files get compiled into one SWF file (Flash movie) and then delivered to the browser. But you are partially correct, most likely you have two forms, each contained within its own MXML file. So each is a component, which will be housed within some container, and you should probably take a look at the ViewStack together with a LinkBar in this case. Or a TabNavigator will do nicely as well. You can find the docs on either of those here: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/ Hope that helps!

[flexcoders] showDataTips for the List within a ComboBox
Im trying to get data tips for the list component embedded within the
ComboBox and not having much luck. Works fine for normal List boxes
but cant seem to get anything off of the child one within the CB.
Within the class extending the ComboBox I have this:
this.dropdown.showDataTips = true;
this.dropdown.dataTipField = pos;
This works just fine on a normal List:
mx:List id=ll dataProvider={samp} dataTipField=pos
showDataTips=false labelField=name/
Any help would of course be very appreciated. Thnx.

[flexcoders] Linking a Flex apps to a Help system
Is there a easy way of creating a context-sensitive help system in a Flex apps? The help system could be created in RoboHelp or Author-it. How to link a field to is .chm file related topic? That could be invoke using F1 or by clicking on a question mark in the Flex apps menu...or whatever the process. Thanks for your suggestion. Ghislain Simard Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Massive JRun4 Problems - and your advice for resources...
Hello All, I know JRun4 questions are slightly off-topic, but my questions are directly related to Flex, as without a functioning JRun4 server, the Flex 1.5 Server is pretty much useless. As much as Macromedia makes impressive products, I am completely blown away as to crappy reliability of fresh JRun4 installs. I used the install program directly off my DevNet Subscription CD, AND I also tried downloading it from my Subscriptions page - in hopes of maybe getting a slightly newer or older version. No matter which darn server I install it on - Windows 2003 Standard, Windows 2003 Web Edition, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows XP - I get errors EVERY stinking time, when the service tries to start. The Admin Service starts fine 100% of the time, BUT the Default Server that is created, generates TONS of errors upon startup. After an install, I even apply the latest Service Pack from MM, in hopes of correcting errors. Things improve slightly (less errors upon initialization) but STILL, the Default Server refuses to start AND any new server I try to create, refuses to start. And as always, the error messages are completely useless. I've seen KB Articles regarding the JVM/JDK being version 1.5 - and issues regarding that. I applied all possible patches, and performed all suggestions from the Help Articles, and STILL nothing... I am so TERRIBLY frustrated, and wasted SO much stinking time on this, that it just obliterated my productivity for the last couple weeks. With all of us being developers, we all know that our time (especially billable time) is worth GOLD. I am almost tempted to send MM a bill for all my wasted time. I've never been through this much crap with Microsoft products (which is probably why I still use .NET exclusively for Server Side solutions (as I need reliability and server solutions that actually install without a hitch and also *work* 100% of the time). Please forgive me for the ranting, but I've gotten to the point (due to an accumulation over the years of pulling all-nighters because of buggy server software and development tools) where I just want to throw MM products out the window and kiss it all goodbye. Of course, I hang on to the hopes of an eventually perfected/mature development environment, comprised of the seamless integration of IDE tools Server components, so I can FINALLY deliver something truly wonderful to my clients. I still believe in the end, that MM solutions, will be the means to achieving that goal - but at what cost??? Since so many on this list, have probably been through JRun4 woes before (due to Flex Server and/or ColdFusion), that possibly somebody could contact me off-list or point me in the right direction for quality information, regarding JRun4 and all it's funky quirks. I admit, I have not yet directly contacted MM - so hopefully, they will be willing to talk to me since I am a fully paid-up DevNet Subscriber. BUT if I have to fork out cash for premium service, simply to get their server product to simply *install* properly, I will be really peeved. Thanks everybody for listening, and as always, I am truly grateful for all your help. Humbly, Mike :) Yahoo!

JRun4 Problems - and your advice for resources...
Hello All,
I know JRun4 questions are slightly off-topic, but
my questions are
directly related to Flex, as without a functioning
JRun4 server, the
Flex 1.5 Server is pretty much useless.
As much as Macromedia makes impressive products, I
am completely blown
away as to crappy reliability of fresh JRun4
installs. I used the
install program directly off my DevNet
Subscription CD, AND I also tried
downloading it from my Subscriptions page - in
hopes of maybe getting a
slightly newer or older version.
No matter which darn server I install it on -
Windows 2003 Standard,
Windows 2003 Web Edition, Windows 2000 Server, or
Windows XP - I get
errors EVERY stinking time, when the service tries
to start. The Admin
Service starts fine 100% of the time, BUT the
Default Server that is
created, generates TONS of errors upon
startup. After an install, I
even apply the latest Service Pack from MM, in
hopes of correcting
errors. Things improve slightly (less errors
upon initialization) but
STILL, the Default Server refuses to start AND any
new server I try to
create, refuses to start. And as always, the
error messages are
completely useless.
I've seen KB Articles regarding the JVM/JDK being
version 1.5 - and
issues regarding that. I applied all
possible patches, and performed
all suggestions from the Help Articles, and STILL
nothing...
I am so TERRIBLY frustrated, and wasted SO much
stinking time on this,
that it just obliterated my productivity for the
