These meetings will clarify any changes to Flex and Flash including updates on the runtimes and tooling. Additionally, the sessions will educate folks about the Apache process and what it takes for Flex SDK, as a project within the Apache Software Foundation, to continue to thrive. These meetings will be the best place to get accurate and up-to-date information about anything related to Flex. Below are the cities and dates for our first wave of visits in North America. Europe and Asia dates will be posted shortly. Please refer to individual user group sites for detailed descriptions about the Flex sessions and speakers, including information on how to register to attend.

Re: [flexcoders] You are the product
The general consensus is that a. People hate Flash. ( dont really know why!!! after reading all the HTML 5 vs Flash articles... ) / Developers hate javascript ( atleast the people who like the OOP paradigm! ). b. Developers love AS3. ( Its the next best thing to chocolate! ) / People love nice UI. The holy grail is to create something that doesnt require flash but can be programmed with as3 or something similiar and runs on a browser without any plugin.

Re: [flexcoders] Is it possible to add Flex components to the Stage?
Flex is a complete framework and each and every component follows the rules
of the framework. Without the framework running in the background its
probably impossible to get a component working unless you do a lot of work
to make it work. Perhaps much easier to write a separate AS3 component.

**

I'm not sure why you want to add a Flex Component directly to the stage.
I suppose in theory you could; but that would bypass all the Flex Framework
code to position and size the component. You'd, in essence, need to write
your own layout manager. that performs the same functionality as the Flex
Layout manager.
In the context of Flex; it probably isn't a good idea to access the stage
directly.

Re: [flexcoders] Trying to pass a value to the mxml/swf file from java(android).How?
In order to pass values to a swf you have a concept called as flashVars. If you come from a java / C background you would know that your main entry point in there is the main() function. This main function can be called without any arguments or with arguments..( if you are familiar with argc and argv[] ). FlashVars is something similiar to that concept. Just have a read about those and you should be able to get the proper answers.

Re: [flexcoders] What is the a correct lifecycle phase to add new child components?
With toggling the visibility property you are creating 1 Button per Item
Renderer.
When you are creating an object each time a user's mouse is over it, and
then deleting it when its out, you are creating 'n' number of objects and
deleting them , the new objects need to be garbage collected.
The initial load is going to be more ofcourse, but then its a set number
since you are only going to be creating a set number of buttons.

Alex,
Just checking/ thinking... But if I go down the visibility route and
addChild( x ) up front in createChildren() would I be consuming more initial

In my case, I have 15 columns, using the same renderer and 40 rows so
that's 600 extra buttons that would be created that are initially set
visible = false;
I'm assuming they are all in memory and when scrolling, this could impact
scroll performance.
Or is adding/ removing children dynamically and making each Item Renderer
go through it's update cycle more expensive?

States are still available in the MX way. You can also hide and show

Known children should be created in createChildren or in states. But
otherwise, you have to create them when you know you need them. The List

know how many to create.

[flexcoders] Flex Testing
Hi, My confusion lies in the fact that the currently in the application very few classes exist which do any kind of data manipulation ( And various components ) . All that the components do is get the data and display it on the display list. In such a scenario how do we test the application. What do people test in general? My application is flex front end ( UI ) for a PhP backend (data comes from here). I was wondering if someone could help me with testing in Flex. What I mean is, can you post me a code which contains a typical Flex Web App (UI heavy) and how you go about testing its contents? Any link or pointers here would be really helpful. I went through some examples that are given for testing. The one on adobe site which talks about accounts etc ( But in my case im not creating any non UI objects ). Also are there any test cases available for build in components ( Like Button or ComboBox? just for reference ) -- Regards, Ganaraj P R

was nothing wrong from my part.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe. com/2006/
mxmlhttp://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
layout=absolute
mx:Image id=myimage maintainAspectRatio =true
horizontalCenter=0 verticalCenter=0
source=@Embed(source='images.jpg')
scaleContent=true width=100% height=100%/
/mx:Application
This is all the code there is in this application ( I am attaching the app,
for your reference ) .
My expectation from this code is that the image should fit the screen,
maintain the aspect ratio of the image and finally be both centered
horizontally and vertically!
Can someone help me out in this ?

Thank you :)
that helped a great deal.

Well that is one day to do it, but this should work better:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute
mx:Image id=myimage maintainAspectRatio=true
source=@Embed(source='images.jpg')
scaleContent=true width=100% height=100% horizontalAlign=middle
verticalAlign=middle /
/mx:Application
So the issue with the code is more an understanding of scaling:

Techinically the Image above 'fits' the screen, that is its width and
height is set to 100% of the application. Since it fills the application
completely, setting verticalCenter and horizontalCenter have no effect. You
would have to set a width and height of the Image's *content* to center, not
the image itself. An important but subtle distinction. The Image control
contains an image, but will have empty space inside it also if
maintainAspectRatio is true. The alignment of the contents within the Image
is controlled by the horizontalAlign and verticalAlign styles.

Hi,
Thanks. Yes. But that is a workaround right?
I wanted to know if this was a bug with flex! Or if there was an mxml way
of doing it.

I was wondering if this was a bug with flex or if I was doing something
totally wrong.
The amount of code in this is extremely low, so , I was guessing that
there was nothing wrong from my part.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe. com/2006/
mxmlhttp://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
layout=absolute
mx:Image id=myimage maintainAspectRatio =true
horizontalCenter=0 verticalCenter=0
source=@Embed(source='images.jpg')
scaleContent=true width=100% height=100%/
/mx:Application
This is all the code there is in this application ( I am attaching the
app, for your reference ) .
My expectation from this code is that the image should fit the screen,
maintain the aspect ratio of the image and finally be both centered
horizontally and vertically!
Can someone help me out in this ?

Re: [SPAM] [flexcoders] Re: how to call a function from a component to another
Can you tell us more specifically why you are not able to assign an id to the object?
