[flexcoders] Re: shadow lighting
Yeah Hank! Nice responses. I agree that there is a tradeoff between performance and value. Used sparingly, bitmap filters can come in handy. Like if you wanted to apply a dropshadow to the title text of a panel. This isn't possible in Flex using stock CSS. So if this is a desired style, you have to get creative. I can live with the 1/20 of a second cost here. In fact, I'm currently doing just that and haven't noticed any difference. Hopefully we can all agree that if you eat ice cream responsibly, you won't gain that much weight. -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "hank williams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 6/30/06, Michael Schmalle <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > > > > Hi Tim, > > > > Vectors will always be faster than bitmap caching in the Flash player. > > > > > This is not true.

Flash 8 achieved huge performance gains by caching bitmaps instead of drawing stuff, where the drawings required lots of calls. That was the *PURPOSE* of bitmap caching. They wanted to increase performance of the player. Why do you think the introduced it - to slow performance down?! The point here is that vectors *can* be faster, but so can bitmaps. It just depends. Filter performance is primarily driven by memory bandwidth issues. In other words there is a fixed amount of time it takes to create a bitmap and move it onto or off the display.

In any case, the larger the bitmap the more information must be moved. This must be compared against the performance of the underlying actionscript code. It has nothing to do with Flex really. If you are doing the things that Flex is doing, try and use vectors and custom skins and not bitmap filters. See the thing is, Flex is all about recursion. You think just becasue there is no fancy math in a container, there are not some insane calcs going on? When a container measures itself it calls measure on EVERYONE of it's children, there is hardcore math going on.Floating point processors do this kind of math in a single instruction cycle i.e. approx 10^-9 of a second. Any potential performance issues around flex, bitmaps and filtering have *nothing* to do with math. You mentioned something in your other email about things being exponential because the algorithm is recursive. But this is a missunderstanding of the mathematical implication of recursion. There is nothing exponential going on. Hierarchical tree, yes.Exponential, no. It is a simple order n problem not even n log n. As explained above the problem is memory bandwidth not math. The filter has to be copied into a buffer modified, and replaced. This is more expensive if done over a large area and repeatedly. Where BitmapFilters fit into the equation is, every frame it's taking a snapshot, this just adds to the tremendous load at render time each framepass.I am not sure what you are trying to imply here, but, just to be clear bitmaps are built once, when the screen is constructed.This generally means, if a screen is static (as flex screens generally are) this all happens at the initial render.

More importantly, creating a whole skin is *far* more complicated than applying a filter. In the real world the time value of money is such that spending days designing a skin where you could apply a filter in a few minutes to save1/20 of a second when constructing a screen seems like not much of a choice at all. The bottom line is filters were introduced because they do things that either cant be done or are too complex to do manually. IMHO to suggest never to use them in Flex, to me, is not good strategy.

[flexcoders] Extending AsyncMessage
If I send a class instance of a class that extends AsyncMessage, FDS yukes on it. AsyncMessages are just fine. Currently, I'm hadling this via a factory; basically using a minor FrontController to intercept the messages, interogate what the header is, and us a Factory to create a message of the correct type. This sucks. Is there a way to get FDS to have like... server-side equivalents? I'm trying to mirror how ValueObjects are done, only with messages. --JesterXL Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Yahoo!

RE: [flexcoders] Custom Context Menus
The context menus are probably a special
case, as they are quite obviously rendered by the OS. Windows has context icons
and submenus, but do older Mac and Linux versions have these features? I don’t
know for sure, but I’m guessing not every targeted OS has these. It’s
a critical goal that flash works consistently across all platforms. In a few
cases like this it means going with the lowest common denominator.

[flexcoders] Using XML dataprovider for ComboBox - setting selected=true
Hello, Once again, I've looked through the archives but have a feeling I'm not being effective with my search terms. I'm using a Rails app to popuplate a ComboBox. The backend returns XML and I assign it directly as the ComboBox's dataProvider: Auto Select 0 username 1 username33 2 The ComboBox is populated correctly, but it ignores the selected="true" attribute. I tried making it a child node as well, with the same results. I have control over the Rails app, so I just need to know if I can specify the selected item of the ComboBox through the DataProvider API (and specifically XML). This seems SO simple and I feel silly for asking it, but I've had a hard time finding it. I really did look hard for the answer, I promise! Please let me know if anyone has any ideas. TIA.

Re: [flexcoders] No0b: Help installing SDK with Eclipse 3.2
However, eclipse 3.2 is not supported by FlexBuilder, yet... you need to use version 3.1 or install FlexFuilder standalone alongside with the integrated eclipse. cheers, thomas. jeremiah johnson wrote: > > > That's just the SDK.

Re: [flexcoders] No0b: Help installing SDK with Eclipse 3.2
That's just the SDK. To get Eclipse integration you need the Flex Builder plugin. Download the Flex Builder trial and install the plugin to an existing Eclipse installation. Sadly, that bit isn't free. You are, of course, free to write your own Flex to Eclipse integration, as far as I know. jeremiah Count Schemula wrote: > Hey, doubt this is the best place to ask, but, everything is in Flex > right now. :rofl > > I have Eclipse 3.2 installed, but, I can't make sense of these install > directions for the Flex 2 SDK. > > These instructions are either missing whole steps for no0bs, or is way > over my head, or both.

Re: [flexcoders] Select a Tree item on Right click
If I try to look from the user perspective, I would prefer control left click over doubleclick and I would prefer some visual representation (small down arrow like context menus in dreamweaver/flash) over all other solutions.
