Hum... don't really know what you mean by not having Flex framework dependencies, but try http://code.google.com/p/as3syndicationlib/. Maybe that suits your needs.

Hi Max, I've had the same problems you did. But, as soon as I started looking at the API and consulted the "Programming ActionScript 3.0" user manual, everything started to become evident. You should also have a look at the "Flex Compiler API User Guide" and "Flex Developer's guide". It's all in there. All the best, Fidel.

You need to know which methods are provided by the service. That is what the WDSL does. It establishes the agreement rules between the service client and the service provider. In other words, it tells you the functions you can call and the data types used. I am not quite sure what you mean by embedding the WSDL in the swf, because the WSDL file stays on the server end, and swf is a client interface, not server. When you say publicly available, do you mean available on the internet? Or is the application working in an intranet? Have a look at http://www.systinet.com/doc/ssc-60/primer/html/how.web.services.work.html so that you can understand how webservices work, and then just dive into the manuals to know how to use them in Flex. But, basically, you need to provide an endpointURI, because without it the webservice component doesn't know where the webservice is. It is the same as if you are trying to send some data to a php or jsp script. Will you be able to send the data if you don't provide the url address of that script? Same thing with webservices. Hope that helps. All the best, Fidel.
[flexcoders] Resizing a button icon
Hello all, I was wondering if it is possible to resize an icon we embed in a button or any other component. So far I have been resizing the icon in an image application, but I am sure there must be some way of specifying its size in flex. Can someone help? Thanks in advance. Fidel.
[flexcoders] symbols in a swf library
Hello folks, According to the Flex manuals (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/embedding_assets/#EmbeddingSwfLibraryAssets) we cannot import Graphics symbols from a swf library, because we cannot export them for Actionscript. I don't know which version of Flash they are talking about, because I was able to export Graphics symbols from Flash 8.0, and was able to import them in my flex app. Can someone clarify me on this, please. Thanks in advance. Fidel.
[flexcoders] Re: Flex Samples
Hi Stewart, I have had the same problem. First, I read the getting started user manual, where I grasped how Flex worked. Since I had already worked with Openlaszlo before, it was easy to get used to it. The technologies are quite similar. Well, I have tried to find examples as well, and found this site http://www.brightworks.com/technology/adobe_flex/code.html I studied the source code of those that interested me, and then I was implementing an application with it. I am in the middle of finishing a document management system that was implemented in Flex and Java. I think you should also have a look at Craingorm, which is a nice api that allows you to organize your code in a proper way. Well, hope that helps. All the best, Fidel.
[flexcoders] Re: Data Bind question
Hi Everyone, First of all, Happy New Year Second, I have managed to resolve the problem. It had nothing to do with the ArrayCollection returned from the webservice. I was having a null object, which was not instantiated yet. This had to do with the order of component creation within flex. All the best, Fidel.

[flexcoders] Help with DataGrid dataField
Hello folks, I am trying to bind a complex model to a DataGrid. I have modified the employee.xml, just to illustrate what I am trying to do.

Here is how I tried to accomplish this: -- begin code DataGridSample.mxml http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";> --- end code - Now, why doesn't "name.given" and "name.family" work as dataFields? I know the data is there because when I click on a DataGrid row, the form below it shows the correct data. I am just trying to understand why my data does not show in the DataGrid, and how do I solve this? I look forward for an answer. All the best, Fidel.

[flexcoders] Centering an Application
Hello Folks! Hope you guys have had a nice christmas. I am trying to solve something I hope you guys can help me with. I have looked all over the web and did not find any answer. What I want is to center my Application Canvas. So, if I maximize the application window (if using adobe air) or the browser (if using flex), the Canvas is always at the center. Can someone give me some hints? I have tried the horizontalAlign and verticalAlign, which I thought would solve my problem. I have opened the generated swf with the Flash Player and when I maximize the Flash Player, my Canvas stays at the top left corner. I would like to center it. Thanks in advance, Fidel.

[flexcoders] HTML control
Hello folks! First, since this is my first post, I would like to thank you all for setting up this discussion group. I would like to congratulate however has taken the initiative to take it forward. Now, coming to what I would like to ask, I was wondering if it is possible to make the HTML control transparent. I have tried it, but was unsuccessful. My content did not have a background, so I was wondering why it wasn't showing the transparency of the HTML control. I know it does not become transpartent with PDF, but I am really using HTML files. Can someone point me to a more descriptive documentation of the HTML control, or point me to some examples of its usage? Thanks in advance, Fidel.
