RE: [flexcoders] Evaluating a Boolean String Expression
Separate out the (, ), |,not etc. by splitting the string up based on what you
find. You could add some logic to split the string into an array from where
those characters are found and look to the values to the left if an OR (||) is
found, for example. Then put that logic into a function like below:
(Add in your complex logic to a function like this:)
/**
* Converts a string representation of a boolean to a true boolean value.
* For example, it will convert TRUE, False, true, TruE, f, or
T to a real boolean (true or false).
* The input string is not case-sensitive. Acceptable arguments are the
word true or false, or the letter t or f.
* @param value the string to convert to a boolean.
* @return representation of the string as a true boolean value.
**/
public static function stringToBoolean(value:String):Boolean
{
var boolean:Boolean = false;
if (value.toLowerCase() == true) boolean = true;
if (value.toLowerCase() == t) boolean = true;
return boolean;
}
No small task though.

But, since we can't count on that lasting, and even Adobe is telling developers to plan on moving to HTML5, it seems like they're pushing us back into x-browser hell. I didn't want to go there, which is why we chose ZKoss. Yes, there is still going to be HTML/JS/CSS ultimately used, but it's how much. Even Flex SWFs are wrapped in HTML and JS when deployed. So, it's not that I'm against using any amount of HTML/JS; it's how little can I get away with to avoid these issues. Even with HTML5 libraries, such as the much touted jQuery, is, to a large degree, an insulator against x-browser issues. If you read the actual jQuery code, it deals with those issues for you. Now, ZK has a ZK Client JS library, which includes jQuery, that is designed to be a communicator mechanism between the client and the bulk of app logic that resides on the server. So, your normal editing and data manipulation that you might write in JS in a full blown HTML5 app is actually stored as Java on the server, and executed as needed per the EDA (event driven architecture). This type of JS is typically what breaks the page on different browsers and versions thereof. By limiting the amount of client-side JS, as does a jQuery type library, yes, you have some exposure to potential x-browser issues, but not as much as a HTML5 app that does everything on the client. And, when there are issues, they can be resolved in the ZK Client library as a patch/fix. So, now it seems to me that developers have several choices. Stick with Flex and you won't break the browser; you just won't be able to have your app viewed by millions on iOS products. If that seems like a better solution that minimal exposure to x-browser issues by using ZK or some other technology, well, that's certainly a choice each company has to make.

Each UI object can have a client side widget that is primarily the appearance, and a server side component that should contain the more complex logic. So, you can hide as much as want by placing it in the server side component as Java code, or keep in the client side widget as JS. In fact, since you indicate you are moving to HTML5, ZKoss actually might be a good choice, since it relies heavily on jQuery, which is considered a favorite HTML5 library. The difference is ZK lets you choose where client side logic is stored - as JS on the client or Java on the server. Another type of HTML5 approach won't offer that.

Write code with AS3 and output to JS. There are quite a lot of Flex apps out there ( especially in the corprate world ). Given that adobe has given up on Flex ( which means they wont have any premium support ) these guys will be looking for a solution that can work as good as their current applications. Ofcourse, the big players ( especially in the financial industry ) are going to be slow to move. They wont change something just because Adobe wont support it quite in the future. They would be looking to change. This is the point where the Apache Flex community needs to catch up on. Flex is currently the biggest load on a ship called Flash Player Runtime. There is a significantly large hole in this ship. That would not have been the case, if Adobe had not shot itself in the foot, but that is a different topic altogether. Now, if one of the biggest load happens to unload quite fast onto another boat the rest of the smaller entities on the ship can jump on. If not, the other smaller entities wont die.

On the one hand, you have an open-source project that is geared toward enterprise application development, but it is completely dependent on a proprietary runtime. That runtime is manufactured by a company who has stated its future is digital media and digital marketing, and that it believes the future of enterprise web application development is HTML5. It then begs the question, How long will they bloat their Flashplayer to support an open-source Flex community's enterprise web application development goals and wishes? To accommodate the Flex community, Adobe gets nothing in return for its expenditure of time and money in designing, developing, testing the features the Flex community requires now and in the future. It also means that, by supporting Flex in their runtime, the Flashplayer has an unnecessarily larger footprint than would otherwise be required. So, ask yourself if you truly believe Flex will be a supported product by Adobe in 5-10 years from now. I highly doubt it. On the other hand, I think if a developer uses Flash Pro to develop digital media for their applications, they can probably count on that being around indefinitely. But, not Flex.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex to HTML5 Conversion tool?
Check out another possibility - using haXe for converting an MXML/Actionscript project to HTML5/Javascript. The syntax is extremely similar to Actionscript, so you could convert the MXML (via the option with the compiler to save the generated Actionscript from MXML) to haXe code, and the Actionscript too.

I found the answer on a blog. Once you find it is pretty easy to fix. Only time I have had something similar happen is when the Flash Player Debugger was either uninstalled or replaced by enterprise software with the regular Flash player. Have you verified the Flash Player Debugger version is installed? I don't know if that's the issue, but something to check. Flash player debug was installed. We figured out what the issue was...the .swf compiled into the Web root and Output folder was not being referenced; the html template php file was referencing a different version of the app, in a different file location. When run/debug was executed, the .swf would stop at breakpoints, which made it extra confusing, although as stated, trace statements were not appearing, and breakpoint 'step over/step into' functionality wasn't working consistently. Once we cleared the cache, we discovered the problem.

[flexcoders] flex 3 - resized image dimensions
Hi - I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction with this question which has been killing me. I'm using Flex Builder 3. I've loaded a jpeg into an mx:image control, with proportions constrained and the percentWidth set to 100 e.g.: var thisImg:Image = new Image(); thisImg.src = http://www.hv.com/img/myImage.jpg; thisImg.percentWidth = 100; When the image is first loaded and I check the height/width dimensions, I will correctly get the dimensions of the original jpg image. Say: the original jpg dimensions are 1200x900. My question is how do I get the correct height/width for the image contents when it resizes and scales? e.g. If the app gets smaller, and my jpg resizes down to 900 x 600. When I check thisImg, even though the jpg height has changed to 600, the height of thisImg remains at 900. I've tried checking thisImg.height, thisImg.contentHeight and thisImg.content.height. All the same. They seem to be giving me the height of the mx:image container but what I really want to know is the height of the actual scaled image inside the container. I'm really confused and frustrated, could anybody help me out? Thanks in advance for your kind help!!! jk

[flexcoders] ASDoc and third party libraries
Those of you who use ASDoc from the Flex 3 SDK I'm sure have come across this before. If you use FlashDevelop and ASDoc - then even better as that is my setup (this is actually for a Flash CS3 project, but no matter). How do you handle running ASDoc on a Flash or Flex project where you are also using other third party libraries? If you run ASDoc on a project that uses a third party library like Greensock's TweenLite or Papervision3D, as I am, you can get all kinds of compiler errors because it tries to include those in the documentation as well (since they are imported into your classes), and those are not necessarily set up for ASDoc. I know in FlashDevelop, the Actionscript Documentation Generator has a field for classes to exclude - but it would be impossible to list out all those third party classes - is there a way to exclude an entire package? I have tried various forms of adding -exclude-dependencies but keep getting this error: Error: exclude-dependencies can not be used with doc-sources. And honestly, I'm not even sure how to use that flag correctly (if that's even the right flag at all). I tried adding a class name right after it but it couldn't find the class. Searching online for an hour has done no good. The documentation really stinks for ASDoc and so does the help system you can call with a -help flag. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Training Courses
Well training and books are meant for beginners and intermediate users. As you get more advanced its harder to taylor training classes and books to the specific needs of advanced developers. Someone who is a beginner or intermediate typically wants to learn on a very broad topic. Advanced and upper intermediate folks have very very specific things they want to learn (i.e. Programatic Skins)... That said the Certified Adobe classes are very good. The two main classes are great for newbie to intermediate. The styling class is one of my favorite to teach and delves into more complex topics for advanced and intermediate users. All that said if you look through the outlines and you know everything in the material you probably won't get a ton from hands-on training unless you have a great instructor who knows his stuff Hope this helps...

One of the requirements was that the images transition to the next with a nice wipe/slide effect. I built up two solutions, both with drawbacks: 1) Used a view stack, added a repeater that added a VBox and Image for each photo to display. I was able to get the appropriate slide/scrolling effect to work by attaching show and hide effects on a VBox that contained the image. This worked really well when there was 10 imgeas. However, when I loaded 200 images...ouch memory management nightmare up to 1 gig of memory being used before crashing. Next solution, I tried something simpler: 2) Used a HorizontalList component and built some code to scroll through all the images. This worked much better from a memory management perspective, however, I've LOST the ability to have the transitions of sliding from one image to the next. My questions: 1) Has anyone seen any code that uses the List (HorizontalList) components for sliding/moving images into the main view area? How do you get the effects to work with moving the itemRenderers around (this doesn't seem possible?) 2) Anyone tried writing a component where there's a main view area, and an area to the left and right where you buffer images off screen for the sake of wiping/sliding them in? Then when you move to the next image, the main image slides left, the left (off-screen image container) is then moved to the right, and he the right image slides into the middle. This is a sort of recycling of components. Seems like a lot of work and would be prone to bugs. I'm open for any other ideas on making a slideshow with these sliding/scrolling transitions. Thanks for any suggestions.

From what I see here the button click does not make the call to the http
service.
The general rule of the thumb is aftter the service call you push the data
into a model which usually updates the view via binding. I always parse data
into array collections or other strong typed objects. Having the items into
an array collection enables you to bind to it if you're using List based
components in the view. However in your case yuou could listed to the
collection change event and do your thing manually. Send me the code via
email and I'll try to debug it. I cannot figure it out from what I see. I
guess you make the call for the data and the result gets back before the
creation complete venet fopr the panel fires.

[flexcoders] Flexbuilder 3 Java problems
I'm having Java runtime problems with Flexbuilder 3 again. I swear, I'm so tired of this. I've never had software that kept breaking so much. I've done nothing to Flex (though maybe my company has), and it seems to break every six months or so. So weird. Anyway, the problem is when I try and launch FB3, I get the following message: Could not create the Java virtual machine Then I click the OK button and it quits. So I thought, OK, I'll make sure I have Java installed, that I have the latest installed. Nope, that didn't work (installing Java 6 and putting the newer Java files into FB3's JRE folder) - so I moved the previous ones back into the JRE folder. Right now, the JRE version installed in my C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\jre folder is version 6. So then I thought maybe Java was messed up in my Eclipse folder, but I couldn't find any Java references in there. I see in my Java control panel (windows XP) that I have the following on my system: Platform: 1.6, Product: 1.6.0_14, Path: C:Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe Enabled: true Platform: 1.6, Product: 1.6.0_5, Path: C:Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05\bin\javaw.exe Enabled: true Platform: 1.4, Product: 1.4.2_17, Path: C:Program Files\Java\jre1.4.2_17\bin\javaw.exe Enabled: true Any clues on how to fix this?

[flexcoders] Re: Flexbuilder 3 Java problems
I haven't changed anything that I am aware of. I'm concerned that my enterprise did withouth my knowledge, but I have played with various settings in the ini files for both Flexbuilder and Eclipse and not had any luck, so I reverted back. Could you or someone else send me examples of what's in your eclipse.ini and flexbuilde.ini files - preferrably for a machine with 2GB RAM. Thanks!

[flexcoders] Chart font image quality
Hi, I am trying to add some charts to a PDF using AlivePDF. Adding the image to the PDF looks horrible (very fuzzy font). I have tried using the ImageCapture with a high dpi, which looks alot better, but there are still a lot of 'artifacts' around the text in the chart labels. I also tried to use a bitmap font from a Flash swf, but am getting the same noise around the text. Is there anyway to get the image of a chart that is good enough to print without the labels looking like this? Especially when I have 'real' text along side this chart image, the result is very disappointing. I really need a printable report that looks nice. I suppose AlivePDF has nothing to do with it really, it's more of getting a high quality image. Thanks for any suggestions...

You have some naming conflicts and, since you're dealing with xml,
you'll need to use an XMLListCollection; instead of an ArrayCollection.

[flexcoders] Re: Need help tranforming some XML
Well, so far no responses to this last part of my problem - but thanks very
much to those of you who got me this far. I'm 90% there to the solution I need.
So I'm moving this last part of my question to Flashcoders... unless someone
has any idea how to solve this last part of the problem and can pipe in with an
answer:

code as I have it now (thanks Ian) is:
for each (var contentRowItem2:XML in _contentXML..row)

var moduleName:String = stripSharepointPoundTag(contentRowItem2.Module);
var topicXML:XML = new XML(topic /);

if (topicsList.length()!=1)

This produces this:

[flexcoders] Re: Need help tranforming some XML
Oh *sigh* - mind the line breaks. Ian Ian, I didn't insert those line breaks. I wrote this e-mail from Outlook and sent it directly to this list and it looked beautiful on the way out. I was just as disappointed with the way the formatting came out as you apparently were. Jason

[flexcoders] Re: Need help tranforming some XML
I'd include a bit of error checking for those XMLLists...
for each (var contentRowItem:XML in _contentXML..row)
{
var moduleName:String = contentRowItem.Module;
var topicXML:XML = new XML(topic /);
topicx...@title = contentRowItem.LinkTitle;
var modulesList:XMLList=finalXML.module.(@title == moduleName);
if (modulesList.length()!=1)
throw new Error(Can't find single module with title:+moduleName);
var topicsList:XMLList=
modulesList[0]..subsection.(@title==contentRowItem.Subsection).topics;
if (topicsList.length()!=1)
throw new Error(Can't find single subsection with
title:+contentRowItem.Subsection);
topicsList[0].appendChild(topicXML);
}
Thanks Ian, that gets me closer, but it doesn't quite work because, I get the
error, Can't find single subsection with title:Assumptions - because not
every subsection will have one with that title - that topic is only in certain
subtopics. The XML it needs to be inserted into looks like this:
xml
modules
module title=iRequire orderID=0
subsections
subsection title=Technical Constraints/
subsection title=Project Information/
/subsections
/module
module title=iDesign orderID=1.00
subsections
subsection title=Assumptions/
/subsections
/module
module title=iBuild orderID=2.00
subsections
subsection title=Assumptions/
...etc.
So there are some subsections that have one with a title of Assumtions, but
you'll see the first module's subsections doesn't have one. Trying to figure
out how to account for that withouth getting null property errors. Any ideas?
Thanks, you've given me some good stuff to work with so far!

[flexcoders] Re: Value Objects
Just realized I replied with the wrong subject line. Here is my reply: Tim Rowe wrote: The use of 'VO's in Flex has always confused me, largely because as everyone I've spoken to has explained it, all a 'Value' object is is just a Model object - therefore WTF are they being referred to as 'VO's when 'Object' (or Model object) would suffice. Tim, I have always thought of a model and a VO or DTO differently. I think this is a good quick explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Transfer_Object From an MVC perspective, I think a model class contains information sure, but it can and often does contain methods to run logic on data, to retrieve data, to broadcast that data is ready or changed, etc. A Value Object (VO) or Data Transfer Object (DTO) (two terms for the same thing, I usually call them VOs because you don't always transfer them per se) are simple classes that only contain properties that can be get and/or set. They do not contain methods, constructors, or any other form of logic. They are dumb in a sense, only serving as information repositories. There is good logic in this I think. I use them all the time. And I don't think they are only for moving data around in, they are useful in single session storing of information. So often a model contains references to (say in as a property which could be the VO directly or several in an Array or ArrayCollection) and also may change data within VOs, as well as broadcast when something changes. That's my perspective anyway.

You are putting an object inside your array
Using records[0] you retrieve your object
using records[0].addresschange you access its property called
addresschange

how the heck can i access the item directly by index name?

[flexcoders] Unloading/stopping sounds from SWFLoader .swf
I'm having a problem getting sounds from .swfs (both AVM1 and AVM2) to
stop playing. I am adding these .swfs (loaded with SWFLoader) onto a
Canvas in my Flex application. The instance of my SWFLoader is
_swfLoader which I add as a child to the _demoCanvas Canvas. Here is
what I have tried (my lame attempt at garbage collection):
private function hideScreenAnimation():void
{
_swfLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSwfLoaded);
_swfLoader.removeEventListener(Event.UNLOAD, onSwfUnload);
_swfLoader = null;
removeChild(_demoCanvas);
_demoCanvas = null;
SoundMixer.stopAll();
}
I can't seem to locate any unload() method for SWFLoader instances or
SWFLoader.content. SoundMixer.stopAll() seems to have no effect.
Again, these are both AVM1 and AVM2 .swfs which contain sounds. I don't
have any control over the AVM1 files, they are produced by someone else
using another app (Captivate and Camtasia). The AVM2 .swf is just a
simple .swf I made with Flash CS3 and contains a sound on the timeline.
Thanks, any help is appreciated. I've researched this enough with Google
and none of the suggestions I've found seem to work.

[flexcoders] Re: Unloading/stopping sounds from SWFLoader .swf
Thanks Alex. That's too bad. On this project, we're stuck then with no support
for external .swfs that have sound since we're using FP9. Bummer.
I wonder if we could use LocalConnection to communicate with the AVM1 Captivate
or Camtasia files to stop the sound. Possible in theory?

[flexcoders] Questions about Canvas and TitleWindow
I'm creating some components on the fly with Actionscript in an MXML project. 1) For TitleWindow, where can I set the alpha of the surrounding title bar area, or whatever it's called? By default, it looks to be about 20% alpha. 2) For Canvas, how can I set the color? If I create it with code, there is no color property (according to Flexbuilder), but if I use MXML, there is. It inherits from Container, and UIComponent, so I don't understand why with Actionscript's the compiler is giving an error that there is no color property. All I really want is a nice background container of some kind to hold a .swf file - either one of these would see to do the job, if only I could set those properties like I can in MXML. Why do the properties available seem to be inconsistent between MXML and Actionscript?

[flexcoders] Re: Flash player 10 Debug not recognized in FB3
For FB3 you also need to make sure that you have I believe FB 3.0.2 in order to use FP 10 Debug player properly. Less then that and I was getting a ton warnings about not having the debug player. Thanks Mark, I see my version of Flexbuilder is 3.0.1, not 3.0.2! I'll try upgrading! Everyone else, thanks for responding - a lot of you have been recommending I understand there are two different versions of the Flash player - the regular release and the debug version. I'm not sure how I gave the impression I didn't understand that, even from the beginning, I clearly do - especially if you read my original post. Funny, because I titled this thread, Flash player 10 Debug Maybe when Alex called them binaries instead of players and I was confused by that and asked a question about what he meant, that threw some of you off. Sorry! ;) It was just because never heard of the Flash players being called a binaries before - so I didn't know if he was talking about something else entirely. Also, as I stated, I have run the uinstaller and then the installer for the DEBUG version of the player without luck, as I mentioned. So sorry for any confusion, didn't mean to waste your time responding to the wrong question. My problem is that after uninstalling FP10 and re-installing FP10 DEBUG version, FB3 still does not recognize it. I'm going to take Mark's advice and upgrade FB3 and see if that works. Thanks everyone for your help! Jason
[flexcoders] module loading and progress load slow?
loading modules I've been rearranging my application to use modules to reduce load time and prepare it to handle later larger development etc... All is well I've got it loading modules and such and learned a lot over the past few days. I have several modules that have large images it uses with source= and some other swf's it loadsI prefer not to allow caching since these items change a lot. On a localhost connection (dev) It can take 10 seconds to load the module etc. At first I thought it was needing a preloading technique that adobe offers so i tried that to load while the app loaded etc.. no go then i tried to see if i could add a progress bar on top of the module loading so the user is at least informed but to my dismay it loads too fast for the progress bar to show up heres the size of the swif being loaded 364K 2009-04-23 13:54 nutrition.swf the images and other swfs that load into this module are about 1-2 megs total. If i avoid using modules it loads on localhost almost instantly :( I have a feeling the source = for images and swf loading is whats dragging it to load fast. What options do i have for either preloading quicker for this module? Is it possible that my custom component is causing this performance issue? http://dougmccune.com/blog/2007/11/19/flex-coverflow-performance-improvement-flex-carousel-component-and-vertical-coverflow/ anyone had this kind of issue with rendering slow? sources used already are: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=modular_5.html http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=modular_6.html

until it has fully loaded. At the same time you can listen to the
'progress' event to see how much has loaded and maybe inform the user
that your app is loading something and give a % loaded message or
similar.
[flexcoders] Flash player 10 Debug not recognized in FB3
Subject says it all, but I have the Flash player 10 debug version installed and when I go to debug my Flex app in Flexbuilder, it says, Flexbuilder cannot locate the required version of Flash player. You might need to install the debugger version of Flash player 9 or re-install Flexbuilder. Sometimes I can click yes to go ahead with previewing my flex app in the browser, but if I have any debugging needs going on, like a simple trace statement, it times out and says I need the debug version of the player. I have 10.0.22.87 installed, which is a debug version (according to Adobe's site anyway) Any help? Thanks.

[flexcoders] Re: Flash player 10 Debug not recognized in FB3
FB might be launching a different player than the one you tested against the Adobe site. To be absolutely sure, add a Label to your app and display flash.system.Capabilities.version and flash.system.Capabilities.isDebugger Alex Harui OK, thanks, so this is odd, that shows: flash.system.Capabilities.isDebugger = false but also: flash.system.Capabilities.version = WIN 10.0.22.87 10.0.22.87 is a debugger version, according to Adobe: 2/24/09 Updated debugger versions of Flash Player 10 (aka debug players or content debuggers) are available. These new players are version 10.0.22.87. Right? Why is it saying it isn't and acting like it isn't? Jason

Thanks, Tracy's example worked fine for what i need.

where the modules are being cached but not properly updated :(
Will your link work for modules?

[flexcoders] loading swf's dynamically
I'm using the below to load swf files dynamically, but the user of course must download the files fast enough for it to go from the first swf to the next without chopping. Is there a way to preload the items into the application without playing them or embeding them ? my goal is to preload the swf's while the app loads or on initial load then play them when ready using an event, any suggestions would be great mx:SWFLoader id=swf source=first.swf height=400 width=400/
[flexcoders] Flash e-learning list revived
Hey everyone. (Apologies in advance - I'm sorry that this is a blatant cross post to more than one e-mail list. If anyone knows me, they know I despise people who cross post questions on e-mail lists, or worse, marketing/products, but this is neither and I think maybe this one is an exception. I was going to e-mail each list individually anyway over time, so I guess it doesn't matter.) There was a discussion list that was in good use a while ago, Flashelearning, and it slowly died from lack of participation (small user base) back in the fall of 2007. Well, we've revived it and have some good discussion started (a post this morning is about a cool Flex-based drawing/collaboration/chat app for training people online). The list would greatly compliment (NOT replace) this list if you do e-learning / multimedia training work using Flash platform technologies like Flash, Flex, Captivate, AIR, Camtasia, Articulate, FlashDevelop etc. as well as general e-learning discussions on topics like SCORM, AICC, accessibility Section 508, QTI, using Javascript, XML, evaluation, inspiration, learner theory, etc. - though mostly focused on using the Flash platform for creating e-learning. You can subscribe to this e-mail list here: http://www.freelists.org/list/flashelearning If you're in the flash platform world and also work to deliver e-learning, hope to see you both asking and answering questions there.

[flexcoders] Cursors and datagrids
I'm not sure if I'm missing something regarding cursors and datagrids... I'm trying to implement a 'find within datagrid functionality' generically. I had things working doing it the hard way of just looping through the arraycollection and doing a compare for each cell within the datagrid. Then I decided to implement the same thing using cursors, and the fun began. In some cases I'm able to find the object, in others I crash out. I've defined a cursor = dataGrid.dataProvider.createCursor(); looping through with the cursors works, and I'm able to get the correct item for cursor.current. I fail with Error #1009 at internal::findItem() ... ListCollectionView.as:954when I do: dataGrid.selectedItem = cursor.current; Am I missing something? I didn't think I needed to sort anything if I wasn't using any of the find methods on the cursor, but it seems like behind the scenes flex is doing find and failing. At this point I may just go back to looping through arraycollection, but to me, it seems far less elegant than the cursor solution. Thanks, j
[flexcoders] XSLT Processor for AS3?
I've asked this on several lists, and Twitter, never had a single reply yet. Hoping someone here knows. Is there an XSLT parser/processor for Actionscript 3? I would like an Actionscript native one to transform some XML client-side. I have the XSLT file for it already written, which I verified works fine transforming with Javascript and IE browser's DOM, but I'm looking for an Actionscript solution, not Javascript/IE, PHP or anything else. Does this kind of class exist for Actionscript 3? If not, I'm surprised nobody has written one - maybe just too much work? In an ideal world, I am imagining someone has a class (or component) that takes two arguments, an XML string or URL and an XSLT file, and returns the transformed XML in the new format. Anyone know if this thing exists or at least is being worked on by either Adobe or the os community?

[flexcoders] Repeaters and databinding
Simple question.
Why does example 1 below work as expected, but example 2 does not
(the Pear checkbox is not added)? I thought repeaters, like other
components, responded to changes in the dataprovider through
databinding.

How would you handle a situation like in Example 2, where the
dataprovider changes after the repeater initally runs (in this case,
after the applicationComplete event)?
Thanks.

[flexcoders] Gumbo / Flex 4 release date estimate?
I know there is never an official announcement about release dates from Adobe until right before it happens... I have searched the archives because I know it was mentioned before, but anyone have a good idea/guess when Flexbuilder 4 will be released? Even just your best (somewhat informed) idea of what quarter of 2009 it will be? Budgeting for software for the year is always tough when it comes to stuff like this - we just want to know when to put money aside for this. Thanks! Jason Merrill
