[flexcoders] Issues with Scroll!

2005-09-28 Thread Sreejith Unnikrishnan

Can someone help me with this problem.

In the following sample, the scroll appears on the whole application.
What is the correct/suggested way to avoid that. The scroll should be 
applied on the Panel and not the Application here.

I tried many things such as appliying creationComplete, creationIndex 
and creationPolicy. This has not had good results.
I had some success with createCompletion. But I really dont think that 
is a scalable solution!

Any pointers would help.

Regards
Sree

PS: In an earlier post, I had mentioned the same result in the Flex 
Style Explorer 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders@yahoogroups.com/msg12582.html).

RE: [flexcoders] flex and third party search engines[john dowdell.. anybody...]

2005-09-28 Thread Matt Chotin











Nithya,

 

Your example is generally more about
backend logic to find your data rather than searching incorporated with Flex. 
If your products are stored in a database, you’ll need to use the
database’s query capabilities to find the right products.  You kept
asking about mondosearch so maybe you’re already using that to search all
of the data?  In this case they have a web service API that you would use: http://www.mondosoft.com/webservicesearchkit.asp.
 You would install the webservice kit somewhere, then connect to it with your
Flex app.  There are plenty of docs and examples for using web services from
Flex.  The big thing here is really this is not a Flex issue, it’s how
you get your data into your Flex app.  And the answer is through whatever mechanisms
your search engine provides.

 

Matt

hai john





    say i have a flex site for online shopping... i need
a search feature for the products... say i type the product name and it should
fetch me the details about the product and all the links associated to it... so
for this i need a search engine to be integrated with the flex site... how can
i do this?

When you say "support", what do you
mean?

I think Matt may have read this as "is static
text in a Flex SWF read by 
search engines", and results are mixed
here... some engines definitely 
read it, as you can prove at Google by searching
on "checkout 
filetype:swf" or similar terms.

But if you're looking to offer local search within
your own work, then a 
lot depends on whether your text is stored in the
SWF or in a database 
or web service, what type of interface you'd like
to display results in, 
etc.

Or if you're looking to issue a standard web
search from within a Flex 
presentation, then that can be as easy as
constructing an URL.

When you say "support", what do you
mean? If you'd like to offer a 
search form within your presentation, then what
would you like it to 
search...?

[flexcoders] DateField

2005-09-28 Thread Ghislain Simard

2 things that I am trying to set with the DateField tag...but no 
success:

script:
function formatDate(date:Date):String{
return dateFormatter.format(date);
}

code:



1 - How to get selected a date by default in  the TextInput field.  
If I use the attribute "text", I have no display.

2- If I select a date using the datechooser (using French months and 
days), the selected date shows an English date in the textinput. How 
to get it in French?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex Server Alternatives

Well I don't know if I would venture to "dirt cheap". What other
systems are you referring to?
See SAP for starters, then once you jump that hurdle, now look at anything with the word "ORACLE" in it.

If you're enterprise, and building mission critical apps, and
especially if it affects financial performance and need to be SOX
compliant you're basic setup is:
- 1 Development WS
- 1 QA Server
- High Availability Setup (at least 2 load balanced machines).
- Disaster Recovery Site (min 1 web server).

If you're using decent hardware with 4CPU Xeons, you've got 5 machines
* 4 cpus/ea = 20 CPUs * $15K/cpu = $300 000.

You would have to REALLY boost automation, workflow efficiency, etc...
to recuperate the cost of Flex licensing and Flex application
development (not everyone is Scott Barnes level super coder) vs a
CF/Whatever based solution. Not to say that it can't be done, and I'm
You'd still outlay the same costs if not more with a HTML based
solution such as CFMX. Furthermore, if you are to comply with SOX you
have to jump through a bit more hurdles in authenticating the HTML
solution is immune to various DOS attacks (injection attacks, packet
sniffing the works). Then you have resources and costs associated to
building a HTML application. If you are going down the path of the AJAX
momentum, good luck in comparing the two.

I'm also talking about systems which have a status "Please turn off in
1 year, no ifs, no but's". These do exist in enterprise, whereby a
legacy green system is currently turned on and there is about a handful
of people left in the world who know what it does, its that system the
IT Director is scared off the most and nearly faints when the LED's on
the outer box suddenly goes out... Point is, something has to replace
it and typically the cowboy approach is lock one self into a
proprietary solution. Salvaging existing systems is extremely delicate
and at times hard, and the main trip up is simply that whatever gets
put in its place isn't agile enough to cope with not only "replacement"
but growth. Some do, some cope really well and some praise technologies
like .NET for salvation.

Other times its just this mutated be-spoked solution comprising of part
HTML and part other that realistically is hopeless at best in terms of
getting data in and out.

We at omniEffect specialise in using FLEX to reach out and touch
existing backend systems but provide a uniform view. If you think about
a users daily routine how many UI's do they go in and out of just for
farming data. How peoples perception of how data can be accessed is
simply due to whats been handed down to them by someone who probably
should never of had the job of deciding how UI works. In stead, if you
provide a uniform view that reaches out and touches multiple assets
within an Enterprise, you now stand a better chance of circumventing a
lot of issues. Through FLEX you could also provide a much easier and
accessible way to improve on Business Processes in general? does that
save money? most of the time its a tick for yes. In some Ent Solutions
its extremely hard to get a simple report, and to do so its this
monolithic task, which can be at times put into the "too hard basket"
(thus we see these faction(s) of MS Access databases, excel
spreadsheets existing..all open to screw ups, resulting in say, a
general ledger being slightly inaccurate!)...

FLEX provides a visual input into business intelligence and it may not
be profitable, it just maybe enough to break even on. Yet, it can allow
folks the ability to move forward, to treat their backend as "content"
instead of this mutated ball of part UI part Logic.

The main problem with FLEX today, is its not really being pushed as
much as it should. There are too many "Kiosk" style applications
floating around the net as "look here, this is a great example of
flex"... which is great...yet if you put these examples into
perspective and outlay say 300k as Tariq put it, it starts looking like
probably a bad ROI.

To me FLEX so far is this powerful tool that every ones too scared to
use. Mission critical systems? hmm, I'm a realist in saying that the
chances of FLEX getting that much prime time within a company this
early in the game, is probably a risk unto itself. There isn't a lot of
skillbase in the market yet to drive home its power as so far we have
seen probably a lot of backend developers suddenly become "Flex
developers" which is scary..not because they are dumb, far from it, it
takes a whole new mindset to play in the RIA world as we are stuck
between half-website and half-thickware application.

FLEX is dirt cheap to someone who's staring at a huge backend system
that's been told in order to upgrade, you must implement this weird
HTML/JS based solution...
