[flexcoders] How to create automation libraries in Flex SDK 3.3?
I downloaded SDK 3.3 and extracted datavisualization_sdk3.3.zip into it, then
run command java -jar DMV-source.jar C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\Flex
The fbpro folder is created but automation libraries are not.
The output of DMV-source.jar execution reads:
[START OUTPUT]
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.3.0\libjava -jar DMV-source.jar
C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\Flex
using license {flexbuilder3=137740006554349567707756,
flexbuilder3.displayedFirstLaunchMessage=true}, outputing to directory ..
license is valid, extracting datavisualisation and automation files to ..
[END OUTPUT]
I cannot find automation.swc, automation_agent.swc and automation_dmv.swc
anywhere in sdks\3.3.0 (I suppose they should be frameworks\lib as in earlier
SDKs, right?)
Do I have to do anything special to create automation swc's?
[flexcoders] Access active column header (DataGrid)

DataGridColumn supports the headerRenderer property. Google this.

hi i know this is not a flex question but is related to flex anyway. i have
an access database with two tables A and B. the two are related in that the

key of B is set to equal to the auto generated Primary key of A. How can i do
this with coldfusion. i dont wanna do it in access itself but in the
coldfusion query. thanks
You probably have two things that you need to do in B. First, unless you are
just moving an existing record in B so that it points to a different record
in A than it did originally, you are going to need to CREATE that record in be.
The second thing you'll need to do is to associate that new record in B with
the record in A, but you can actually do this in the INSERT statement to Table
B.
There is no ordinary SQL syntax that will allow this to happen, and Access
does not support T-SQL. Even if it did, T-SQL is stored in and run within the
database, and you said that you want to do this solely from within ColdFusion.
So what you'll need is something like this:
INSERT INTO tableA (field1, field2, field3) VALUES ('a', 'b', 'c')
SELECT keyField FROM tableA WHERE insertDate = (SELECT MAX (insertDate) FROM
tableA)
INSERT INTO tableB (field1, field2, foreignKeyfield) VALUES ('x', 'y',
valueReturnedFromPreviousQuery)
Note I have no idea how to concatenate in CF, so you'll need to concatenate in
the variable there, rather than just sticking it in like I did.

[flexcoders] Re: BlazeDS or JSON
I'd personally go with Remoting via BlazeDS. With remoting you can: 1. Map your AS DTOs to Java DTOs, meaning when data arrives from the middle-tier, you get it automatically typed as your AS classes. (e.g. a remote call to searchUsers() will return an Array of your native User objects). 2. You can send an AS DTO at the middle tier and it will arrive as its Java DTO counterpart. 3. Remoting talks via AMF, which, being a binary format, is far less bloated than JSON. 4. You are not tied to DTOs, you can still send standard objects and primitives across the wire. The down-side to the DTO approach outlined above is that you have to maintain 2 sets of these objects. Code generation helps here and its arguably a small price to pay for what remoting brings to the table. JSON is a pain as you'll have to do a fair amount of de-serializing and casting, but it you want to go that dark-route, as3corelib has great JSON support. I'm still waiting for someone to (fully) implement Google's badass Protocol Buffers (http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/), which would be a great binary alternative to remoting. Hope this rambling answer helps. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, oneworld95 oneworl...@... wrote: Which tech do you recommend for simply reading data from the database via Java? BlazeDS or JSON?

[flexcoders] How to make smaller RSLs from existing SWCs (e.g. Degrafa)
Adobe's docs on this are less than stellar, for they fail to mention that after
optimizing a SWF, you need to use the digest tool on the parent SWC again. To
help folks Goggling, here's how to create an RSL from a SWC and shrink it so it
loads quickly. (This is also at
http://flexamusements.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-to-make-swc-into-much-smaller-rsl.html
if you somehow prefer reading this silly post on Blogger)
Extract library.swf from the SWC
0. Let's refer to our SWC as {SWC} and its location on the file-system as {PATH}
1. Open {SWC} in your favorite unzip utility (7-zip works great and is free)
2. Extract library.swf to {PATH}
Run the Optimizer Tool against library.swf
3. Within /bin in your Flex SDK directory, you'll see optimized.exe, run that
and point it at {PATH}:
Example on my machine: {FLEX_SDK} = location of Flex SDK
{FLEX_SDK}\bin\optimizer
-keep-as3-metadata=Bindable,Managed,ChangeEvent,NonCommittingChangeEvent,Transient
-input {PATH}\library.swf -output {PATH}\output.swf
(the output SWF is quite a bit smaller now, woohoo)
4. Delete DIR/library.swf and rename output.swf to library.swf
Run the Digest Tool (the docs kind of missed this re-digest step)
5. Since our SWF file changed, we need to update the digest info in our SWC
Example on my machine {FLEX_SDK} = location of Flex SDK
{FLEX_SDK}\bin\digest --digest.rsl-file {PATH}\library.swf --digest.swc-path
{PATH}\{SWC}
6. Modify your FlexBuilder projects and mxmlc ANT tasks to point to {SWC} as an
RSL with a URL of library.swf
Re: [flexcoders] Getting field names in array collection
Just use the for statement but in a for each manner, e.g.
for (var fieldName in someObject)
{
trace(fieldName);
}
It's one of those subtle tricks in ECMAScript (which could've been
named better, or maybe more intuitive with different syntax, e.g.
Python's.)
(that's the general idea - code might not be exactly correct.)

[flexcoders] Flex, SharePoint and SQLServer
Just got introduced to the wonderful world of SharePoint recently, and am contemplating coding the client's BI application in Flex and then embedding into SharePoint. Are people doing this? All the data must come from SQLServer2005. Done some googling and understand that I could 1. Load data into SharePoint lists and then send to Flex 2. Talk to 2005 directly from Flex. Is this correct and which is the better approach? Are there any examples of this kind of architecture? I did not really find much after a couple of hours of googling. I have looked at ASP.NET and VisualStudio etc and just feel I could do a better job with Flex. Don't want to infer Flex is superior, but I do know that I can write the app they need in Flex. Is this a sensible approach? Thanks in advance for any pointers, Mic.
RE: [flexcoders] Flex, SharePoint and SQLServer
After using Flex for client UIs for a few years, the old submit, postback, hidden fields, javascript, dhtml, and even that data object thing you can use in .net, seems hideous. I use .net for all my back-end business logic database an integration tier work, and like it just fine for that. Now, Flex can't really talk directly to a database. Supposedly, the later SQL Server versions support native http access. If that really works, scalably and securely, then you could use HTTPService in Flex to communicate with the db. I have not tried this, nor have I heard any success stories about that approach. Flex's main lines of communication are HTTPService(XML over http), SOAP-based WebService, and RemoteObject(AMF). Then there are the server-side services like LCDS, BlazeDS, WebOrb, and others. What communication options does Sharepoint provide?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex, SharePoint and SQLServer
1. could work, because you can use Flex to get the data via SharePoint's HTTP APIs. May make it difficult to query; not sure what options are available in the SharePoint API. 2. You would need some kind of service in between to mediate, i.e. to provide a HTTP API to SQL Server. Either something custom written in ASP.NET (or whatever other web server tech you have on site), or maybe ADO.NET Data Services (the HTTP API for SQL Server hinted at by Tracy)? There may be an advantage in terms of performance if you use AMF through things like WebORB, or if Java is an option, BlazeDS or LiveCycle. 2009/4/5 Mic chigwel...@yahoo.com: Just got introduced to the wonderful world of SharePoint recently, and am contemplating coding the client's BI application in Flex and then embedding into SharePoint.
