[flexcoders] The Blueprint Eclipse plug-in is live on Adobe Labs
If you get a minute, please check out Blueprint, which we released on Adobe Labs a couple of weeks ago. Blueprint is an innovative code-centric search application, initially delivered as an Eclipse plug-in. It is a custom search tool that searches only for code (for now, it searches just for MXML and ActionScript). So, for example, if you search for DataGrid, it returns a set of code examples that use the Flex DataGrid control. But what's really cool is that you can easily highlight, copy, and paste chunks of code right into your application, all without leaving Flex/Flash Builder. For more information, see the Blueprint page (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/blueprint/) on Adobe Labs (FYI, Blueprint now works for Flex Builder 3 and Flash Builder 4) Regards, Randy Nielsen Flex Doc Manager
[flexcoders] Re: Click Lite: The right click now. But not now?
Thanks for the feedback, Jason. I've cc'd our documentation manager Randy Nielson so that he's aware of your frustration. Perhaps he's aware of some migration docs that can help you. Hi Jason, Maybe check out the Migrating Applications to Flex 2 book, available at http://download.macromedia.com/pub/documentation/en/flex/2/flex2_migrat ionguide.pdf In particular, Chapter 6 describes changes in the Event model.

[flexcoders] Re: new to flex, tutorial code doesnt work!
Yeah. I see how that happened. The tutorial has you add a TileList component in one step and the dataprovider attribute in another. I tweaked step 2 to add a reminder about moving from the TileList line to the dataprovider line. Thanks for the feedback, Randy Nielsen Flex Doc Manager
[flexcoders] Re: Praise for the Flex 3 Documentation
We try to accomodate everyone: * If you want docs in your IDE, use Flex Builder Help. * If you want docs on the Web, use the Flex Help Resource Center http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/ , which has links to PDF files and LiveDocs. * If you want everything locally, including PDFs for usage docs and HTML for the Language Reference, download the Flex 3 documentation in a zip file http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/flex3_documentation.zip . Also, I'd like to put in plugs for the Flex 3 Getting Started Experience http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/Flex/Getting+Started , which is a wiki-based site designed for newbies, and for the Flex Doc Team blog http://blogs.adobe.com/flexdoc/ , which has all kinds of useful information.

Re: Migration Guide? was RE: [flexcoders] Flex 3 and AIR 1 are now live!
Alex is right. We didn't feel there were enought API changes to warrant a full Migration Guide. That said: * If you run into something, please post it as a comment on the Backwards Compatibility page and we'll add it to the page. * One aspect of migration is understanding new features. You might want to check out http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/features/flex_builder/ for an overview of new features, including a few videos.

[flexcoders] Re: Where are code samples for Getting Started, Developer's Guide?
Hi Peter, I don't really have a reason why we didn't package the Flex code samples separately, other than to say that there are way more of them and we didn't plan for it. That said, we can probably do it for Flex 3. In Flex 2.0.1 we started running unit tests on all runnable doc examples and one of the side benefits is that we can package them up into a zip file. (Another side benefit is that we now show running examples in LiveDocs pages; see http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/flex3/html/charts_displayingdata_04.html #328724 for an example.) Regards, Randy Nielsen Flex Documentation Manager
[flexcoders] Re: Flex Builder - built in help ..
That's the first time I've heard of this problem. Please check the Flex 2 Developer's Guide to see if there is a Modules chapter. If so, it's the 2.0.1 help. Another quick way to check is to look for Macintosh information in the Using Flex Builder help. And finally, if you click the LiveDocs link at the bottom of each page, does it go to the flex/2/xxx URL or flex/201? Because it was an x.0.1 release we didn't really call out the version number. In retrospect, that was a mistake and we won't do it again. Regards, Randy Nielsen Flex Documentation Manager
[flexcoders] Re: If Flex 2 Livedocs still supported or we shall move on to Flex 2.0.1 Livedocs?
Flex 2 LiveDocs are still up and running (your first link worked for me, too). However, if you are using Flex 2.0.1, you should use the docs under http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/ But you're right in that Google isn't catching the 2.0.1 Language Reference stuff. I'll look into it. Thanks for the catch, Randy Nielsen Flex Documentation Manager Adobe Systems Incorporated
[flexcoders] Re: SQL DATABASE CONNECTION
In Flex, you access the database indirectly, using HTTPService, WebService or RemoteObject. If you have to use Java, you should use the HTTPService tag to invoke a servlet or JSP that access the database and returns the data as XML. It should look something like this: users user userid***UserID goes here***/userid username***User name goes here***/username emailaddress***e-mail address goes here***/emailaddress /user /users For the basic client-side and server-side code you'll need, see the DevCenter articls on PHP (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex2_php.html) and ColdFusion (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/integrate_flex.html) .

If you are not using Flex Builder, which has all Flex docs in the Help system, you can get a local copy of the Flex docs by downloading the ZIP file (~45 MB) at http://www.adobe.com/go/flex_documentation_zip.

I have to point out that OS X isn't a supported platform for FDS, but it's a well-behaved J2EE app, so you shouldn't have much trouble for development purposes.

Here is my understanding: Adobe is not open sourcing the Flash Player.

[flexcoders] Re: Flex Documentation Team - Showing Related Technology
Hi Judah, I was not an original member of the Flex team so can't really comment on valid comparisons for dataprovider. I see where you're coming from, though and perhaps one of the developers can chime in. As far as server-specific stuff, it might be best to keep it on the web (the Flex Developer Center or flex.org, for example), since new server releases/features can break the doc examples. Also, as Matt Chotin said, this could be an opportunity for someone to write a third-party book.
