Re: [flexcoders] 360Flex vs. Adobe MAX - which would you attend?
I have to agree with David, both events will be great. I love MAX because I get to hang out with Ed Sullivan from the User Group Program and that's worth the price of admission. =) For those of you not in the UG program and not knowledgable to the The Great Ed, shame on you. The comparison that David makes below pretty much says it all. 500 (we bumped up the numbers for round 2) vs 3000. There are things a 3000 developer, company driven conference can do that we (360Flex) cannot: rent out California Adventure, get the Venetian, bring entire product development teams. However, there are things we can do that MAX can't: know that everyone you bump into is there for flex only, a job fair where you can leave with job leads (if not a new job!), and a place where speakers tell how they use Flex in the trenches day in and day out ( i.e. you see REAL code!). We also let you bring guests to our parties for free. We like our wives and reckon other's like their lifelong partners to party with them too. Adobe appreciates the smaller conferences too and what they allow them to do at a corporate level, ala ApolloCamp. Can you imagine giving away 3000 flex builders, books, shirts, etc? There are other community driven aspects of 360Flex Seattle that I'm not allowed to publicly say yet (yes, my partners have put the seal on my mouth!) If you think the community vibe flourished last time, you ain't seen nothing yet! We're still nailing down details, but I think it's some darn cool stuff. The way I see it is like this: You're on flexcoders because you want flex and flex only. Wouldn't you want the same from your conference? Many won't and that's why MAX will get 3000, but the diehards will and that's why we sold out 400 last time and will hopefully sell out the 500 hundred this time. The goal of both conferences is the same: to grow the community. Ours is just a more informal grassroots approach to it. Some like low-foam, extra hot, half-caff breve lattes and others like a cuppa joe. Just go with your gut and you'll have a blast either way.

MAX is big enough and there are enough sessions that you can spend the entire three days going deep on Flex, and/or spend time in a mix of sessions that also cover other core Adobe technologies. I think both events will be great. Flex360 is a community event, smaller, and more focused--the last one had 400 people. There will be participants from the Flex and Apollo teams, but not nearly as many. MAX is Adobe's flagship event. We expect about 3000 developers. There will be both beginning and advanced sessions on pretty much everything from Adobe, Flex, Apollo, Flash, Creative Suite, ColdFusion, but there are enough sessions that you can be very focused on just your area of interest. In my opinion, one of the most exciting things about MAX that no other event in the world has, is the depth and breadth of participation by the product team engineers--a large number of members of the Flex team, the Apollo team, the Flash Player (etc etc) team will be at the event, both as speakers but more importantly just walking around at the event, at the meals and party, and there are lots of opportunities to get to know them, ask questions, make requests, etc. I have been to every MAX (previously called UCON) for 15 years except one (my 2nd child was born during MAX 4 years ago so I didn't attend). The energy level, diversity, talent, creativity represented at the event is phenomonal. I walk away every year incredibly inspired. If you have any chance to attend I would highly reccomend it. If you can't (based on timing, location, budget), Flex360 will also be excellent. -David -- *From:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@ yahoogroups.com] *On Behalf Of *Jeffry Houser *Sent:* Monday, April 09, 2007 1:52 PM *To:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com *Subject:* Re: [flexcoders] 360Flex vs. Adobe MAX - which would you attend?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: SOAP with attachments aka FileReference- what's the point?
You gotta be creative. =)You get the http Status code back from fileReference. Use that to communicate what you want back to the client.We have 4 messages in my flex code that we show depending on what http status code the servlet sends back. You could do something similar:status code 200 - all is wellstatus code 2500 - invalid formatstatus code 3500 - duplicate file existsYes, the limitation of fileReference sucks, but if you need to use it, this is a nice hack to get what you want.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: SOAP with attachments aka FileReference- what's the point?
Depending on your uploadID, you can condense the steps.Drop step one.On step two, save the file in the db itself as a BLOB type object. (If you uploadID is an int) Send the uploadID back as the status code. In the event handler for httpStatus, then call your ws from step three with the status code of the event. May I ask why your storing the files on a path? We almost did the same but that would've limited scalability.-Tom2On 9/26/06, ben.clinkinbeard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hey Tom, Thanks for your input. Unfortunately, I need more back than a status code (I was just using those messages and an example). What we are actually doing is allowing the user to upload an Excel file and sending back the parsed data. Here is the approach we are taking now, knowing the limitations of FileReference. 1. WS call to request an uploadID - the server side code inserts a row into an uploadedFiles table and returns the auto id of the new row 2. Upload the file and pass that uploadID along as a url variable - the server code then saves the file to the system, storing the path in the row corresponding to the passed uploadID 3. Upon upload completion we'll make another WS call, passing the uploadID, and the server code will parse the corresponding file and send the data back as a SOAP response Setting up the test files now... :) Ben --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Tom Ortega" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You gotta be creative. =) > > You get the http Status code back from fileReference.

[flexcoders] MAX Hotel/Lodging on the cheap
I'll be going to MAX and will probably have some spare space. I was wondering if anyone still needed someplace to crash. The Venetian is costly at $250 a night. I'll have a 2 bdroom timeshare thing for the entire week, with probably a few pull out couches. Granted, it won't be at the Venetian, but it will be within walking distance. It'll cost me roughly $900 for the week. I think we could fit 6 people comfortably, and that would break down to only $150 for the week per person, wy cheaper than $1750 for a week at the Venetian. If anyone is interested, feel free to message me offline.

It could be because mine's on a fileshare, but here's the error message for those QA folks interested in it! =) java.lang.NullPointerException at zorn.editors.mxml.code.MXMLTagRule.evaluate(MXMLTagRule.java:40) at org.eclipse.jface.text.rules.RuleBasedScanner.nextToken(RuleBasedScanner.java:155) at org.eclipse.jface.text.rules.DefaultDamagerRepairer.createPresentation (DefaultDamagerRepairer.java:168) at org.eclipse.jface.text.presentation.PresentationReconciler.createPresentation(PresentationReconciler.java:448) at org.eclipse.jface.text.presentation.PresentationReconciler.processDamage (PresentationReconciler.java:560) at org.eclipse.jface.text.presentation.PresentationReconciler.access$3(PresentationReconciler.java:558) at org.eclipse.jface.text.presentation.PresentationReconciler$InternalListener.inputDocumentChanged (PresentationReconciler.java:118) at org.eclipse.jface.text.TextViewer.fireInputDocumentChanged(TextViewer.java:2439) at org.eclipse.jface.text.TextViewer.setDocument(TextViewer.java:2488) at org.eclipse.jface.text.source.SourceViewer.setDocument (SourceViewer.java:491) at org.eclipse.jface.text.source.projection.ProjectionViewer.setDocument(ProjectionViewer.java:369) at org.eclipse.jface.text.source.SourceViewer.setDocument(SourceViewer.java:435) at org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.AbstractTextEditor.initializeSourceViewer(AbstractTextEditor.java:2882) at org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.AbstractTextEditor.createPartControl(AbstractTextEditor.java:2649) at org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.StatusTextEditor.createPartControl (StatusTextEditor.java:53) at org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.AbstractDecoratedTextEditor.createPartControl(AbstractDecoratedTextEditor.java:314) at zorn.editors.common.editor.AbstractFlexEditor.createPartControl( AbstractFlexEditor.java:285) at zorn.editors.mxml.code.MXMLCodeEditor.createPartControl(MXMLCodeEditor.java:138) at org.eclipse.ui.part.MultiPageEditorPart.addPage(MultiPageEditorPart.java:155) at org.eclipse.ui.part.MultiPageEditorPart.addPage (MultiPageEditorPart.java:132) at zorn.editors.mxml.MXMLEditor.createPages(MXMLEditor.java:220) at org.eclipse.ui.part.MultiPageEditorPart.createPartControl(MultiPageEditorPart.java:241) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorReference.createPartHelper (EditorReference.java:609) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorReference.createPart(EditorReference.java:384) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPartReference.getPart(WorkbenchPartReference.java:552) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.PartPane.setVisible(PartPane.java:283) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.presentations.PresentablePart.setVisible(PresentablePart.java:126) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.presentations.util.PresentablePartFolder.select (PresentablePartFolder.java:268) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.presentations.util.LeftToRightTabOrder.select(LeftToRightTabOrder.java:65) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.presentations.util.TabbedStackPresentation.selectPart (TabbedStackPresentation.java:391) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.PartStack.refreshPresentationSelection(PartStack.java:1102) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.PartStack.setSelection(PartStack.java:1051) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.PartStack.showPart (PartStack.java:1256) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.PartStack.add(PartStack.java:442) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorStack.add(EditorStack.java:109) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorSashContainer.addEditor (EditorSashContainer.java:60) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorAreaHelper.addToLayout(EditorAreaHelper.java:212) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorAreaHelper.addEditor(EditorAreaHelper.java:202) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorManager.createEditorTab (EditorManager.java:758) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorManager.openEditorFromDescriptor(EditorManager.java:665) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorManager.openEditor(EditorManager.java:628) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.busyOpenEditorBatched (WorkbenchPage.java:2360) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.busyOpenEditor(WorkbenchPage.java:2295) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.access$9(WorkbenchPage.java:2287) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage$9.run (WorkbenchPage.java:2273) at org.eclipse.swt.custom.BusyIndicator.showWhile(BusyIndicator.java:69) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.openEditor(WorkbenchPage.java:2268) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.openEditor (WorkbenchPage.java:2249) at org.eclipse.ui.ide.IDE.openEditor(IDE.java:371) at org.eclipse.ui.ide.IDE.openEditor(IDE.java:334) at org.eclipse.ui.actions.OpenFileAction.openFile(OpenFileAction.java:98) at org.eclipse.ui.actions.OpenSystemEditorAction.run(OpenSystemEditorAction.java:98) at org.eclipse.ui.views.navigator.OpenActionGroup.runDefaultAction(OpenActionGroup.java:120) at org.eclipse.ui.vi
Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder 2 and CFEclipse
Alright, not a good idea. I didn't switch workbenches before disabling. When it restarted itself, it crashed really bad because it couldn't find the workbench. It must've not been happy about that. After restarting a second time, I went to create a new project. It took awhile to load because background tasks were running, which I'm sure was the refresh. I ran out of memory and asked if I wanted to close the app. I said no, and tried again. This time it worked fine and asked me if I wanted to switch to the Flex Perspective (or whatever its called). I was about to map the drive again, but decided to do a properties on it. Since it seems that FB2/Eclipse likes to check every file, not just the current directory level, I think I found the problem. It's over 100 gigs. =) Didn't quite realize that when I mapped it. I really only need 2 directories from there, but was too lazy to map each directory separately. Guess I gotta get unlazy! =) Thanks, Tom On 12/13/05, Larry McLister <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Tom,Could you give me a bit more information about your set up?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex - Mac - Database (Semi OT)
Zinc provides a way to talk to mySQL directly with no need for a middle tier. Of course, you'd have to precompile your swf to have Zinc compile it. Mixing MDMScript in with your flex code, asp, etc. might prove a bit time-consuming though. You'd have to include the MDMScript in the flex file, compile the flex file into a swf, take the swf and wrap it up in Zinc, and then finally test. If you found a mistake, you'd have to do it all over again. Possible, in theory. Practical, I'm not to sure of. -Tom On 12/13/05, Steve Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: All, I'm currently looking at ways in which we could create a standalone app using flex and a database, for Mac OSX and PC. Basically we're looking at creating a cd/dvd with a mac/pc installer which will provide a client with a desktop app and database. The flex-based desktop app would be wrapped using something like 'Zinc' to provide the flash player etc. The issue I'm having is working out how I'm going to do the database on a mac. On a PC we could simply bundle a database and perhaps an ASP tier which could do the interaction. However I'm at a total loss with a mac, I don't even use the things. Has anyone done anything similar? My initial research would suggest a flex app, a java layer and perhaps a database such as SQLite. However I'm not a JAVA programmer, I'm usually .NET and Flex. Has anyone any suggestions?

Hello, I'm using the two together. I have a project folder that's "linked" to a mapped drive. The folder keeps hanging on 99% when refreshing. Is this a Flex Builder 2 bug or a CFEclipse bug?

Re: [flexcoders] Themes (was TemplateMonster.com)
In 1.5 you don't "have to" modify the fla, you can create your own. There's two types: graphical and programmatic. The best show I attended at MAX 2005 was on this topic. Here's my notes from the Max session on this topic: Session: Customizing Flex Applicatons: Styling, Skinning, and Beyond - Various Tidbits o Skinning and Embedded Fonts are good to use, but have little documentation on them o Customize components using type selectors (Panel, Button) o Refine components with StyleNames (Dialogue Box TitleBar and OK Button) o Classes are skins, collections of skins are themes o Theme colors override class colors - CSS o Define "Look and Feel" and "App-specific" styles o Global and @font-face = app wide font styles o Only 1 ".elementName" name allowed, first half of named ignored, i.e. defining body.type and table.type in the same CSS will result in the body.type being ignored and table.type taking precedence for all .type elements; It's better ensure all element names are unique o Long CSS files can hit 32K file limit max size, no error will be given - Embedded Fonts o Each embedded font adds 30KB to your file o Embedded fonts are required for Alpha effects o There are two font managers to try if one doesn't work: § BatikFontManager § JREFont Manager o .htmltext is not embedded font friendly - Halo Theme o No background gradients o Button border set at 3 - Pulse Themes o Graphical Theme – Artwork based o Create FLAs and export to .swc for Flex - Skins Types: o Graphical – Flash MovieClips § In Flash fla, create a main symbol and name it for exporting · i.e. TomSkin § Then place all "state" symbols in main symbol · i.e. TomSkinButtonUp, TomSkinButtonDown § Export fla contents to an swc file · i.e. TomSkin.swc § Then put this code in your Flex app · [Embed(source="TomSkin.swc" symbol="TomSkin")] o Programmatic – ActionScript Classes § Your class must extend RectBorder class · class TomSkin extends RectBorder § Your class must then override drawBorder() function · function drawBorder() § Then put this code in you Flex app · static var skinToUse:TomSkin; - StyleButton subclass o lets CSS control button "Properties" not normally controlled by CSS o i.e. Width, Height, etc. - Links o http://www.allurent.com/joeb/max2005 - Presentation PP and code samples – very worth the time to explore-Tom On 12/9/05, Matt Horn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The Halo theme is now a separate SWC that you can apply (to get that old-school Flex look).

Has the process changed from 1.5 to 2? In 1.5 from my understanding you basically modified HaloTheme.fla and exported it to a swc.
