[flexcoders] Examining static variables when debugging with Flash Builder
I've got a class like this:
package tos.model
{
public class Global
{
public static var x:int
}
}
when at a breakpoint in Flash Builder 4.5, I'd like to find out what the value
of Global.x is.
Global doesn't appear in the Variables view.
I've tried adding watches for Global, Global.x, tos.model.Global, and
tos.model.Global.x. All produce '' in red in
the Value column.
Any ideas on how I could get a look at Global.x?

Re: [flexcoders] Why Flex now?
This is basically all the rats abandoning ship in my opinion, here's an article from just over a month ago from Adobe that completely contradicts what they announced last Friday, how is this possible that they didn't have foresight to see this coming,?! http://blogs.adobe.com/flex/2011/08/flex-where-were-headed.html Farid On Tue, Nov 15, 2011 at 12:04 PM, Haykel BEN JEMIA wrote: > ** > > > Because today HTML5 is not yet ready and will not be ready for the next > 5-10 years in my opinion.

Re: [flexcoders] Why Flex now?
Because today HTML5 is not yet ready and will not be ready for the next 5-10 years in my opinion. There are still many things you can only do in Flash and many other that are very difficult to do with HTML5. In my opinion HTML5 is a hype anyway, some new tags, css and js elements and functions. Browser-compatibility, layout, animation, video and much more is handled very easily with Flex/Flash. Should we replace the strong-typed and compiled AS 3 language with JavaScript? I'm working on a video chat application that uses FMS and P2P multicats, can you do that with HTML?? Personnally I don't think Flex is dead, the Flex community will continue to implement it and there will be some companies offering support for it. Only when Adobe stops the development of the Flash player for the Desktop I will say that Flash is really dead. Let's help the Spoon project and make Flex better than ever!

[flexcoders] Why Flex now?
I've been a Flex developer since it's first beta however many years ago. Today I just saw this response from Adobe: http://blogs.adobe.com/flex/2011/11/your-questions-about-flex.html *Does Adobe recommend we use Flex or HTML5 for our enterprise application > development? > *In the long-term, *we believe HTML5 will be the best technology for > enterprise application development*.

We will continue making significant contributions to open web > technologies like WebKit & jQuery, advance the development of PhoneGap and > create new tools that solve the challenges developers face when building > applications with HTML5. Emphasis mine. If anyone has followed any game or application development where 'many members' of the team are switched to the next greatest thing, that normally means there are few maintenance developers for the existing product and not much new innovation to it. The company wants its best and brightest working on its future, not supporting its past. Combine that with the facts that Adobe bought PhoneGap and released Edge preview. It's not hard to put all these facts together and see that long term they want an IDE & framework for app development in HTML5. Perhaps Flex5 will be an HTML5 version of Flex as they start putting together html5 components Outside of "having to support IE6" why would you choose to start a project in Flex today?
[flexcoders] Shantanu Narayen greeted the Flash community with his left hand
Shantanu Narayen greeted the Flash community with his left hand, show their discontent by signing the petition created by Peter Elst: http://www.change.org/petitions/adobe-systems-shantanu-narayen-to-step-down-as-ceo# Description: "The announcements on November 9th 2011 around Flash Platform technology - and the way in which communication happened - have caused irrefutable damage to developers and stakeholders worldwide. As CEO, Shantanu Narayen has shown a complete disregard for customers and his lack of leadership has resulted in widespread chaos and uncertainty. It is time for Adobe to move on under a new CEO and regain the trust of its user base and community." Disclose to all!
