RE: [flexcoders] IFrame Example for Flex 2?
Jason, By domains, I am assuming you mean different domain names – is that correct? Assuming IFrame to Flex is not directly possible, here is what I was proposing: - Create a Flex application that can communicate with the _javascript_ of a designated page - Make that designated page local to your machine (i.e. perhaps the one hosting your .SWF) o embed an additional IFrame o embed _javascript_ to point the embedded IFrame to a designated URL o embed _javascript_ functions to support the desired drop functionality from the “remote” IFrame to the local IFrame o drive the “internal” IFrame by sending the URL to the local page/IFrame – which then sends it to the embedded IFrame o retrieve from the “internal” IFrame by embedding _javascript_ functions that can be called by Flex to retrieve the dropped text From what you’ve said, the fatal flaw in this proposal would be that the locally hosted HTML page and the page presented in the embedded IFrame are in different domains and therefore not able to “communicate”.

Re: [flexcoders] AS3 class constructors can't be private? Abstract classes?
Thanks Matt, Roger and Geoffrey,While I see what you try to do, and have made a test all this stuff and don't like what I'm getting (sorry).In Matt's implementation the only way to instantiate (due to the enforcer class inner nature) is using null:
var _singleton:MySingleton = new
MySingleton (null); // --- (as pointed by Geoffrey)what seems a little weird...In Geoffrey's version there's a hack with
Instantiation.locked static var that seems very strange turning (on and off a flag), again from other people's coming to the Flash platform they look at all this stuff as the typical flash hacks form old days.I don't know why are you so reactive to introduce private constructors that are very clear and precise to resolve this kind of things and don't need any trick.
Another question is what's about Abstract classes that are again very needed.Please rethink this two things so we could get a very flexible languaje and bring more people form other backgrounds to our beloved platform without think that we have a platform full of hacks.
Again, thanks for listeningC.2006/2/10, Roger Gonzalez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
My preferred singleton/pseudo-private-ctor pattern is to use a static
function facade:
package {
public class Manager
{
public static function x()
{
if (inner == null) inner =
new ManagerImpl();
inner.x();
}
private static var inner:ManagerImpl = null;
}
}
class ManagerImpl()
{
public function x() {..}
}
If the facade gets too porky, you can use interfaces;
make a public IManager interface in its own file, and have a "public static
function Manager.getManager():IManager" function. That way you can only
get the "gateway" class, and file-external code can't create a
ManagerImpl.

so even if i create a private class that is only accecible in that

can be certain that class will only be created once is by having nothing else
in that package. this does not seem right.

You have to
simulate private constructors by having the constructor take a class that is
inaccessible to other classes (namely putting that class in the same file as
the singleton outside of the package block). Unfortunately I believe
the rule is that the constructor of the class has to have the same
visibility as the class itself. So public classes need public
constructors, internal classes get internal constructors,

Hi Peter, Any word on bug/feature request #154595? I've had a look in beta 1 and didn't see anything there but I could easily have missed something. Also I'm glad to see addHeader has returned to the NetConnection object even though I can't get it to pass credentials to a legacy CFMX remoting gateway yet.

[flexcoders] Cairngorm2 version of Phones Flex/ColdFusion Connectivity samples
Hi everyone, Today, I managed to take some time to write a Cairngorm2 version of the Phones Flex/ColdFusion Connectivity sample! Description:A Cairngorm 2 version of the Phone Selector sample application.http://labs.macromedia.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion/Flex_Connectivity:Samples:Phone_Selector Purpose:- to show Flex RIA best practices,- to show Flex/ColdFusion Connectivity best practices. Changes:I made some minor changes to the original app, in order to simplify it.- removed > simple list instead of tile list without details state,- removed > no images,- added > reload button to demonstrate Cairngorm events/commands with Flex/ColdFusion connectivity,- added > loading state during remoting commands. Installation:- download Cairngorm 2 alpha (http://www.richinternetapps.com/archives/000145.html),- unzip the Phones and Cairngorm files in new Flex Builder 2 project,- move the content of "coldfusion" folder to your ColdFusion wwwroot,- test the service by calling http://localhost/com/mycompany/phones/service/test.cfm,- compile the Main.mxml app (do not forget to set the compiler args to use flex-enterprise-services.xml). The zip file can be downloaded here : http://www.benorama.com/flex/samples/PhonesCairngorm2.zip Any feedbacks are welcome. Have fun!

There’s
nothing to download from that tutorial, it’s all embedded in the
pages. In example 1 the HTTPService tag is used to make a request against
the servlet that then executes the Struts action. In example 2 the
WebService tag is what was used to hook up the connection to the extracted
business logic, the same logic that a modified Struts action would have called.

I am presuming based on my limited knowledge of Drag-and-Drop using HTML(and its associated Javascript) and, separately, my experience using Drap-and-Drop within Flex that some amount of scripting will be required on both sides to complete the task. Since I have seen some cool examples of Drag-and-Drop using Javascript and I know Flex 2 enhances the ability to communicate between Javascript and the Flash platform, I assume that there may be new ways of accomplishing this that previously either did not exist or were less excessible than before. If anyone has experimented with them, I am hoping they can share. My ideal scenario would be to highlight text and drag it directly into an TextArea (without HTML formatting would be just fine). My hopefully manageable compromise would be to load a local HTML page that had an HTML-based text field in it and an IFrame. The thought would be I could use ActionScript to pass the Javascript the URL I was interestd in, the Javascript would load the URL in the specified IFrame, I could then highlight the text I wanted, drop it in my HTML-based text field using Javascript/AJAX and then again using Javascript pass it back to Flex. -Mark > ---Original Message--- > From: Manish Jethani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [flexcoders] IFrame Example for Flex 2? > Sent: 10 Feb '06 20:51 > > On 2/10/06, Mark Wales <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Does anyone out there have any HTML/Javascript-to-Flash/Flex examples > > they can share? > > Can you elaborate on that?
