[flexcoders] [job] Come play with Flex2 in NYC!

2006-04-28 Thread Avi Flax



Have you been playing with the Flex2 Beta? Are you excited about the
new capabilities of AS3? Do your dreams include E4X, the Flex-Ajax
Bridge, or Flex Data Services?

Come work for Arc90! We’re a small independent web experience
consultancy; we develop cutting-edge web software experiences for
businesses that have the courage to push envelopes. You can check out
our website at arc90.com, but trust us: the cool stuff is on the inside.

We need somebody to come on board and design and code a Flex2 app from
scratch; something that’s a great fit for the capabilities of Flex,
and a good challenge. You get to master Flex2 while working on an
interesting project in a creative, loose, and informal environment!

We’re looking for creative software designersâ€"people who can engineer
code and think OOP, but always consider the user experience as the
bottom line. You should have experience with Flex, ActionScript,
XHTML, _javascript_, XML, and CSS. Familiarity with REST and/or AJAX
would be excellent.

If you enjoy being challenged and you think you fit the bill, please
email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[flexcoders] Re: Possible to invoke Flex2b2 compiler as a Java class?

2006-04-24 Thread Avi Flax



Dave, thanks for your help! What you said makes sense, but
unfortunately I'm still having trouble with it.

Here's my ColdFusion code:


  MXMLc = URLClassLoader.LoadJarClass("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex
Framework 2\lib\mxmlc.jar", "flex2.tools.Compiler");

  Args = '-flexlib "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Framework
2\frameworks\" "C:\inetpub\builder\mxml\test1.mxml";

  MXMLc.main(JavaCast("String", Args));


I *think* this follows what you suggested. When I try to run this, I
get the following error message:

"The selected method main was not found."

"Either there are no methods with the specified method name and
argument types, or the method main is overloaded with arguments types
that ColdFusion can't decipher reliably. If this is a Java object and
you verified that the method exists, you may need to use the javacast
function to reduce ambiguity."

So... any more tips?

BTW I do know that I'm initializing the class properly; if I pass
MXMLc to the CFDUMP tag, I see the following:

object of flex2.tools.Compiler
Methods:
  main (returns void)
  hashCode (returns int)
  getClass (returns java.lang.Class)
  wait (returns void)
  wait (returns void)
  wait (returns void)
  equals (returns boolean)
  notify (returns void)
  notifyAll (returns void)
  toString (returns java.lang.String)
FILE_SPECS:
  file-specs

Thanks!
Avi

[flexcoders] Possible to invoke Flex2b2 compiler as a Java class?

2006-04-11 Thread Avi Flax
I'd like to invoke the Flex2b2 compiler from ColdFusion using the Java
class, if possible.

I looked at the file MANIFEST.MF in mxmlc.jar, and saw: 

Main-Class: flex2.tools.Compiler

So, I tried this in CF:

Application.com.MXMLc =
Application.com.URLClassLoader.LoadJarClass(CompilerPath,
"flex2.tools.Compiler");

That works, and I can CFDUMP the object to see a list of its methods
and properties, but:

- I can't set the property FILE_SPECS: I get an
java.lang.IllegalAccessException with the message: "field is final"

- I can't invoke the "compile" method. My code is:
Application.com.MXMLc.compile(JavaCast("String", MxmlPath));
I get the CF message "The selected method compile was not found."

Can anyone shed some light on this? Is it documented anywhere?

I apologize if this is silly; I'm expert with CFML but not experienced
with Java interaction.

I did try to just use CFEXECUTE at first, with mxmlc.exe, but had
trouble with it. I've always found CFEXECUTE frustrating, so I thought
I'd give this approach a try.

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Flex2 Beta1: Trouble with HTTPService.setCredentials()

2006-02-06 Thread Avi Flax
I'd like to create a Flex2 app that can access a REST API using Basic
HTTP Authentication.

I'm using the latest beta.

So, here's my test code:



http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml";
xmlns="*" layout="absolute" backgroundColor="#ff"
creationComplete="httpService.setCredentials('[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
'password');httpService.send();">
http://www.aviflax.com/feed";
useProxy="false" resultFormat="text"/>





If I remove the setCredentials() call, it works fine.
If I add it, then the send() method throws this error:


TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
C:\dev\enterprise_beta1\frameworks\libs\framework.swc(mx/core/mx_internal)$34::[EMAIL

I posted at the Adobe Labs Forums but (as usual) got no helpful
answers - just a confirmation from someone else having the same problem:

http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=584&threadid=1113869

Help!
