Re: [flexcoders] Re: performance issues
You know what would be cool, is for someone to write a system
performance tester in flex2. Have it run through video tests, floating
point tests, regexp tests, etc. (all the subsystems) and then spit out
a report so we can compare and pinpoint some of these things. I'd do it
but I'm not familiar enough with the Flex 2 api yet.

Chances are that it is more video card issue - as a matter of
fact, I can reduce performance 3-4 times on the same machine using
VMWare as it uses CPU for emulation of some GDI calls.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: performance issues
I'd like to add a "me too" to the performance thing. If there is one
thing I'd like to worked on it would be optimizing the code. On the
first example it is a little bit sluggish. On the second and third
example start to get choppy. When I say choppy I mean it freezes for a
split second. I can record a video of it if needed. On some other flex
2 apps I've noticed some slow down or choppiness in transitions. Not
all of them. It's odd because any Flash 8 site runs smoothly.
I am using a 4yr old pc with a brand new video card. I know its "old"
but I can run any program fine (photoshop, flash, flex, i get slow down
in notepad -jk) so I've never felt the need to upgrade.

Re: [flexcoders] Shouldn't we use Flex to built website
I'm going to be a little abstract and off topic here but I think it's a valid point. When a friend of mine and myself decided to write a game back in the days of 386 and 486 machines the code we were writing would *barely* run on the systems of the day. This is direct x 3 days. They just weren't that powerful. And that was a real problem. But we weren't writing it for the technology of today. It took a year to get through and by that time new video cards and new processors came out and new versions of direct x that all enabled it to run it. So the timing of finishing an app and the technology also have to be considered. If you look at and plan around the technology of the day then your work will be shortsighted. When you take this in the Flash world you can see that people were using Flex 2 beta to creates apps half a year ago in plans to release them when FP9 was out. You can say, "Let's target Flash Player 8 because we can have it a few months early" or you can say, "Let's target Flash Player 9 ActionScript 3, get it done quicker, have much better features and speed but have it later." So you have a sacrifice and decision. Patience pays off (if you can convince the client.) So to sum it up, I wouldn't tell someone to limit their ideas too much by the technology of today. In this case the speed of downloads. I mean, I wouldn't go crazy but download speeds are much faster than they have been in the past and every telco company and municipalities (and even others like google) are working to bring high speed internet to everyone. So I mean, I do understand what you are saying but keep in mind these other things as well. Judah Michael Hansen wrote: Ted, I've had the same thoughts for quite awhile. The techniques you describe could be used for making an awesome CMS system. The only problem is the initial file size. A typical MXML applications start off with a fairly high initial download size before _any_ viewing of content. Users _hate_ this. They wanna start reading from the get go, just like the HTML load stack allows. It's the small things that pisses people off I'm afraid. You probably know this, but Roger (of Adobe) has begun some work on shared resource injection (as far as i rememeber) which i've yet to read through. But still, as long the framework code is a big blob there no way to implement a HTML load stack, right? Looking forward to see some postings from you. cheers -michael On 6/28/06, Ted Patrick < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I need to post a few examples but you can use Flex as a very powerful templating engine for large content sites. I am evaluating a technique that provides seamless search engine support, restful urls (del.icio.us), rich presentation, and API RIA like interactivity. Basically you have 1 Flex SWF file that provides the site template and based on the URL loaded, the Flex SWF is injected with HTML/XML/URL/AMF data based on the page. The idea is to cleanly separate presentation from the data that drives the page itself. HTML and AJAX force you into delivering a server merged data/design to the client where Flash Player/SWF can merge the presentation/data tier on the client side. Plus with E4X you can bind controls to the injected XML/Data for very powerful interactive templates. 1. Load HTML/XML Page with SWFObject DIV Overwrite. 2. Inject HTML/XML/URL/AMF into Flex SWF Template 3. Layout the data in Flash Player interactively. The SWF here might support many States, Components, Panels, Forms that simplify user interaction. 4. Restful URLs that allow for bookmark support and inner interactivity. One of the key advantages is that you can skin a complete site by changing one file. Once cached loading time is minimal and typically as fast or faster than transferring a large quantity of HTML with images, etc. If anyone is interested in working on formalizing this design with me in the community, I am wide open to suggestions. Free your mind, Flex 2 can be anything you want it to be. You can use it in the small (Widgets), in the large (Application), or somewhere inbetween. What is funny is that this solution actually delivers the promise that XML/XSL tried to deliver a few years back but with layout containers, controls, states, and interactivity.

Re: [flexcoders] Developing RIA book
According to Barnes & Noble order system the book "Delivering Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex 2 by Steven Webster" is supposed to be out today. I have had it on order for a while now. So just to be sure, you're saying this has just been started and it *won't* be out for a while, correct? Not to pin a date on it or anything but do you have any time estimates? Thanks, Judah PS IMHO I'd rather have an awesome book that takes longer than a rushed book, with errors and vague concepts. Steven Webster wrote: Arnold, Thanks for your question; if your intent is to take code and type it in verbatim as examples, you'll find lots of things won't compile from Flex 1.0 to Flex 2. However, our intent in writing the book was always to articulate concepts and principles more than code, and I hope that much of that will still be considered relevant by the community. It is our remit to update the book for Flex 2, but that effort is only just about to be undertaken.

The SWF file makes calls to to myriad of services on the server similar to how a form is submitted in html. Flex also uses addtional protocol called ActionScript Message Format or AMF if you will.

Re: [flexcoders] FB2 :: Switchig Workspaces
Hi Mike, Glorious day! :) FB2 is a full version of Eclipse. It is just Adobe's own distro (think of the many Linux distros). So you can have all your features, plug-ins and everything else and not lose any functionality. I think the goal of making Flex Builder a plugin was so that everyone who has already been using Eclipse doesn't have to change their existing setup. I think an Adobe personnel would have to tell us if they hard wired anything in their distro. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: [flexcoders] Please Adobe. Unanswered questions, and building the community
I'd give it a bit more time. Having a beta schedule makes it difficult
with the full release coming up. On the betas I've been on the support
and questiong answering has always been spotty. This is because the
state the program is in. Bugs need to be queued, tested and then
confirmed before an answer can be given. Features are still floating
around. Once they get out of beta I think things will settle down.
Personally, I think they are doing a great job, but I know you've had
questions unanswered. The solution may be to wait and see until after
Flex 2 is released, reword the question over and over breaking it down,
or on the Adobe side have additional community TSR's (technical support
reps) on this list (which if they do add more I hope they'll announce
it). I've been to Barnes & Nobles every week checking and I know of at
least 3 new Flex 2 books coming out and two ActionScript 3 books in the
next few months. One is coming out next week. These will hopefully
answer a lot of questions.
Best Regards,
Judah

Re: [flexcoders] MovieClips in AS3
to Adobe employees, To quote that link to the blaze post, We also decided to take this opportunity to do something that we've never been able to do before. We're planning to release a very early alpha build of BLAZE publicly to all Flash Professional 8 or Studio 8 customers that will allow Flash developers to use ActionScript 3.0 and compile to Flash Player 8.5. We plan to release this public preview alpha release of BLAZE in the Spring of 2006 when Flash Player 8.5 is released. We're doing so in order to give developers who use the Flash authoring tool a chance to start learning ActionScript 3.0, migrate existing projects, and slowly transition to the new language. I purchased or should I say upgraded to Studio 8 last month. I emailed Adobe support about two weeks ago about getting an alpha of Blaze and I never got a response. I could guess a number of legit reasons for not getting a response, but I'd rather not guess. What is the status on Blaze and can developers still get an alpha of it?

Re: [flexcoders] Flex2B3 :: SWFLoader :: Using an Application and sizing issues
I'm not Adobe but I saw this code in a thread further down. Then in as: mySwf.content.gotoAndPlay(10); So you could conceivably use (off the top of my head): mySwf.content.size(myWindow.width, myWindow.height); You could add a listnerer to the content that listens for the window resize event and run that code inside of it. Judah Michael Schmalle wrote: Hi, I am using a resizable window to load swf content. When I use the SWFLoader, I understand about scaling and things. Looking at the source, I really don't see a way that the component sizes itslef to a 'fluid' app. How can I get my window to size the application swf inside the loader, when my sizing logic is actually sizing the "SWFLoader instance"? Well, I think I know a way but, I am asking if it is possible before I waste time trying. So the problem is 'treating a loaded Application.swf as a quasi component when loaded that can resize fluidly". There are a couple layers to this loading and contentHolders so Adobe, any thoughts?

Re: [flexcoders] FB2B Flex Builder extensions and plugins
awesome! time to read those eclipse plug in docs! Till Schneidereit wrote: The stand alone version of FB2 is pretty much a customized distribution of Eclipse based on (at the moment) Eclipse 3.1.2, so you get all the functionality and extensibility of Eclipse. The major difference is that many of the features that come preinstalled with the default distribution of Eclipse (the JDT, for example) aren't bundled with FB2, while the Flex Builder feature is. Bottomline: If you plan on working with more than just Flex in the same IDE, you're probably better off choosing the plugin. If on the other hand, you pretty much only do Flex based stuff anyway, you should use the FB2 distribution. cheers, till judah wrote: The Adobe site says that Flex Builder 2.0 can be installed as a standard desktop application or as a plug-in to the Eclipse 3.1 IDE.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex2 :: Seperate Mailing List :: Component developers - Framework Devlopment
In the Flash world there is: FlashCoders - questions related to coding in flash - usually you've looked everywhere else first FlashNewbies - questions for newbies http://www.figleaf.com/Community/listserv.cfm ExtendFlash - questions related to JSFL, XML2UI, Commands, Behaviours, Timeline Effects and Tools http://www.flashguru.co.uk/extending-flash-mailing-list/ These lists served there purpose great. I could get nearly any question answered from these three lists except when it came to component development. There was nothing for that and it was really missed. I wouldn't mind if we do the same thing for Flex and add a component/framework development list to the list where we can ask about list components (eh hehe - couldn't resist): FlexCoders - questions related to coding in flash - usually you've looked everywhere else first Flex2Coders - i really want to add a flex 2 list but only if the adobe people would join FlexNewbies - questions for flex newbies FlexExtension - questions related to extending the flex ide, flex components or flex framework Maybe something like that??? Judah Tariq Ahmed wrote: I've actually quietly made some new Flex mailing lists; I've let it simmer while waiting for Flex 2 to become final. I don't think too granular of lists works well as there's too much overlap in a lot of things. But I do see one problem arising with one super list like this - not only are the spectrum of topics vast, now you got to content with two major versions of the language in use (1.5 and 2), and so you'll have to do a lot prefacing of context in every single message.

It might be beneficial to have a separate list for component/framework related threads. It's probably cumbersome to weed through the development questions and answers some times. I personally joined this list because I was led here by a link at Adobe and the list description was applicable to my Flex usage. The flexcoders mailing list is for enterprise software developers, developing Rich Internet Applications using Macromedia Flex. The list will discuss methods and practices for Flex RIA development, including MXML and ActionScript 2.0, as well as best-practices including testing, design patterns, J2EE and .NET integration, etc. However, imho this is a two-way street. Application developers learn and benefit from component/framework threads. And conversely, some component/framework developers appreciate the feedback from developers that are using Flex to create real enterprise solutions. I am slowly but surely digging deeper into the Flex framework and its advanced concepts. So for me, it's good to have both sides in the same place.

hi manish, any plans for this? sorry i am not very clear on this. i am not talking about the rich text editor component. i am talking about rich text editing in the flex ide at design time. like in flash, you add static textfields to the stage in the flash ide. you can then double click on that static textfield and select a single word and make it bold, then select the next word and make it italic all in the same static textfield. judah Manish Jethani wrote: On 5/16/06, Anant Gilra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The RichTextEditor does exactly that. is available in Flex2.

Re: [flexcoders] Wanted - A simple WSDL example
That is an awesome link. I will use that. My problem is getting them to
work in Flex. This is really a newbie question but I don't know how to
take that information on that site and put it into Flex. I've looked at
the help, I've tried to apply it and I cannot see what I'm doing wrong.
I'm pulling out my hair (insert hair pulling emoticon here).
Here is my code:
"http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

Re: [flexcoders] Inline Design View Rich Text Editing - where?
Hi David, In Flash you have the TextField in the toolbar. You drag that textfield to the stage and then you can highlight and select certain words and format them. You probably have about 20 different formatting options. In Flex there is no toolbar with a textfield control on it. You can add a text input, textarea or label component to the stage and double click on it and a simple single text field appears but there are no options to format the text. So any formatting that I do I have to do I do by hand in the mxml source code inside a text tag or if I'm there is a lot of formatting I'll go into Dreamweaver, format it and then copy and paste it into the mxml Text tag. But I heard that they are going to improve the inline text tool. I just want to know where they are at and what to expect. Judah David Harris wrote: Hi, there is a Is this what you mean?

[flexcoders] FB2B3 Installation Question
On the FB2B3 standalone complex download page there is this notice. Important: If you have used an earlier release of Flex Builder 2.0, you must completely uninstall Flex Builder 2.0 AND delete your project definitions before installing and using beta 3. Please see the installation instructions for more information. Are the project definitions the .project files? That link above doesn't give anymore information.

Re: [flexcoders] Are there any Flex Seminars coming up
There was a overview of Flex 2 by Jesse Warden last week that was really good (http://www.gotoandstop.org/meetings.htm). You could have attended in person or online.

You can still hear the audio. But if you are past the overview stage then you're only options are attending classes (cfunited.com). Macromedia has a some good videos online but they sort of target key features and glaze over the actual process.

[flexcoders] Repost: Drag from Tree to List
This was originally posted as "Drag from Tree, drop to List?". --- Hi Paul, Could you check into some possible bugs for me? When I test this code the drag separator appears to jump around when dragging inside the tree. For example, drag the "Sent" folder up and down the Tree and watch the location of the drag separator. Also, there seems to be a couple of times that it does not drop into the correct location. For example, run the project and drag and drop the "Inbox" node below the "Sent" node. In my tests it is being placed below the "Trash" node. On a design side (feature request), I can see the need to be able to drop "into" a list row, such as when someone wants to drag and drop a file into a folder.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex framework: ARP, Cairngorm... Which to use?
What I want to know is how do you say it? Is there history behind the name? Judah Steven Webster wrote: Oh man, I write a 6 page article series and still people go on and on and on about ViewLocators :) We innovated the ModelLocator pattern in Cairngorm, and have done our best to communicate the practices around using the ModelLocator, over ViewLocator (a relic from our Flash RIA days). Cairngorm and ARP are both implementations of the same design patterns; so the approach in terms of breaking down your application's technical architecture over a microarchitecture will be very similar. You'll start thinking in terms of all the same concepts, you'll approach your application development the same way. The frameworks are more similar than different, imho. We took a very strategic decision with Cairngorm, only to support the Flex framework; the framework started life in the Flash world, but we believed that Flex would become the defacto technology for building RIAs of any complexity that merits a microarchitecture, and so have made conscious decision not to support back to Flash or any other Flash platform technologies. In that way, we can focus on leveraging the Flex framework without concering ourselves deeply with how this translates to the non-Flex world. We do have developers using Cairngorm on Flash projects - but that's not the expected use-case. There's a 6-page article series on Cairngorm on Macromedia Devnet, starting here: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex/articles/cairngorm_pt1.html We'll continue to make these articles available to you through devnet, and through blogs, to enable you to be successful in building more complex RIAs upon this architecture, and to guide you in how we think the architecture fits with new features of the Flex framework, be that States, Internationalisation, Flex Data Services, etc. If you follow that article series, you'll be ready in a few hours to start building RIAs today, with Flex 2 and ActionScript 3.0, on Cairngorm. As we start to move through the final betas, and into release of Flex 2.0, a number of us within Adobe Consulting are absolutely committed and ready to ship the community updated versions of Cairngorm as required - we're using it on a significant number of our own Flex 2.0 projects here, and are a step ahead of the public beta programs that you have access to. There's a huge number of people on the flexcoders list successfully using Cairngorm; so once you have more specific questions, I'm sure we'll be able to help you in your application development.

Re: [flexcoders] Drag from Tree, drop to List?
Hi Paul, Could you check into some possible bugs for me? When I test this code the drag separator appears to jump around when dragging inside the tree. For example, drag the "Sent" folder up and down the Tree and watch the location of the drag separator. Also, there seems to be a couple of times that it does not drop into the correct location. For example, run the project and drag and drop the "Inbox" node below the "Sent" node. In my tests it is being placed below the "Trash" node. On a design side (feature request), I can see the need to be able to drop "into" a list row, such as when someone wants to drag and drop a file into a folder. Best Regards, Judah Frangipane PS I'm reattaching the code below: "http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*" layout="absolute" creationComplete="initApp();"> showRoot="false" labelField="@label" dragEnabled="true" dropEnabled="true" allowMultipleSelection="true" creationComplete="initApp();"/> Paul Williams wrote: I think you will need to write event handlers to allow the list control to accept items from a tree control. In addition to the docs, there’s a sample chapter on the labs with some good drag-and-drop tutorials: http://labs.macromedia.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Framework:tutorials:tfts_drag_drop See below for a very simple example based on your code (flex 2 beta 2).

[flexcoders] Sharpen after smoothing
I was looking at the final quality of the Bitmap.smoothing property on an image and I thought it would look great to have the option to "sharpen" the image after it was smoothed. Is this something that can be added or will it be too cpu intensive?
