[flexcoders] Re: Accessing the URLRequest object from the URLLoader?
Hi,
Here's my class so I can reference the urlRequest object via the UrlLoader
object via the complete event.currentTarget...
//-
package comps
{
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
public class URLRequestLoader extends URLLoader
{
public var urlRequest:URLRequest;
public function URLRequestLoader(request:URLRequest=null)
{
//TODO: implement function
this.urlRequest = request;
super(request);
}
}
}
//-
Is this good, bad or ugly or just bloody stupid?
There's a topic here about something similar:
http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=305004 and the approach there
is to use arrays but why not just encapsulate the urlRequest object inside
the extended URLLoader Class? I'm relatively new to OOP and Design so
forgive me if this is bloody stupid :)
I'm intrigued to what the experts think... Also, does this create an issue
with garbage collection?
Cheers,
N

[flexcoders] Accessing the URLRequest object from the URLLoader?
Hi, When we use URLLoader we pass it the URLRequest object either in the constructor or via the load method... When the URLLoader is complete, the 'complete' function is invoked where we can get access to the URLLoader object that has completed but I also want to access the URL that was Requested... I would've thought there would be a .request propery on the URLLoader but there isn't... Has anyone got any ideas on how I can achieve this? I was thinking about extending URLLoader and creating my own property and then overriding the load function. What are peoples thoughts? Thanks, Nick
Re: [Spam] [flexcoders] Re: new StringValidator() .source problem?
Hello Tibor, Thanks for replying. this_initializeHandler is the handler for the initialize event. A colleague told me to try creationComplete for the component and it now works... :) I'm thought that on the initiialize phase of the parent component, the children objects/components were initialized but not measured/ positioned. But I guess I'm wrong... :) Cheers!

[flexcoders] Re: new StringValidator() .source problem?
I thought I'd try it by creating the MXML StringValidator...
... and adding that to the validation array.
This works.
So I must be doing something wrong with the ActionScript ? Can anyone see
what I'm doing wrong?

[flexcoders] new StringValidator() .source problem?
Hi,
I'm trying to use StringValidator in ActionScript. The following example
shows MXML and then adding the ID's to an Array...
http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/08/13/validating-flex-forms-using-the-validator-classes/
... I'd like to do this entirely in ActionScript but am getting an error
about the source property needing to be set...
Error: The source attribute must be specified when the property attribute is
specified.
But I am specifying the source property of the StringValidator instance. Can
anyone see what I may be doing wrong? Thanks in advance...
[Bindable]
private var validationArray:Array;
private function this_initializeHandler():void
{
validationArray = new Array();
var purchOrg_Validator:StringValidator = new
StringValidator();
//purchOrg_Validator.required = true;
purchOrg_Validator.source = purchOrg;
purchOrg_Validator.property = "text"
purchOrg_Validator.minLength = 2;
validationArray.push(purchOrg_Validator);
}
private function submitButton_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
//validate the form validators...
var validatorErrorArray:Array =
Validator.validateAll(validationArray); // ERRORS HERE?
var formIsValid:Boolean = (validatorErrorArray.length == 0);
Alert.show(formIsValid.toString());
}
There is a TextInput object with ID="purchOrg" in a form but I can
understand.
Thanks,

[flexcoders] Flex and Weblogic JMS
I am having a problem with consuming messages using WebLogic 10.2's JMS to send messages to my Flex client. The error I am getting is the following: *ArgumentError: Error #2173: Unable to read object in stream. The class weblogic.jndi.internal.WLEventContextImpl does not implement flash.utils.IExternalizable but is aliased to an externalizable class.* I am essentially customizing the trader desktop application to work in a weblogic cluster ( as a POC / load testing tool ). In my messaging-config.xml I have the following destination configured: 0 1000 0 false true . topic javax.jms.TextMessage weblogic.jms.ConnectionFactory LCDSLoadTestTopic NON_PERSISTENT DEFAULT_PRIORITY AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE false My JMS topic is configured in Weblogic 10.2 as follows: http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90"; xmlns:sec=" http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90/security"; xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:wls=" http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90/security/wls"; xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/920 http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/920.xsd";> LCDSLoadTestTopic Does anybody have any idea what I might be missing, and why the object is not able to be deserialized by Flex? It works fine using the messaging built into LCDS, but that doesn't work well in a clustered environment, so I need to use the appserver's JMS capabilities. Thanks in advance! Nick

[flexcoders] How to test if an object contains a certain property?
Hello,
Does anyone know if it's possible to check if an object has a given
property?
objADGLD is of type AdvancedDataGridListData which always contains a
property called .item
Looking at the debugger, objADGLD.item's Declared Type can either be an
Object or XML in different situations.
When it is an Object I want test if objADGLD.item.GroupLabel exists.
In JavaScript, I could've done this...
if ((objADGLD.item) && (objADGLD.item.GroupLabel))
{ // do something... }
... but it doesn't seem to be working for me in Flex.
Are there any good object inspection routines to help with this?
Thanks,
Nick

[flexcoders] tabbing between headerRenderers?
Hi, I've got a text input in each of my headerRenderers on my Adv Data Grid... Can anyone suggest a good way to allow tabbing between the headerRenderers text input objects? Have I got to roll my own? as in detect which one I'm in and then on key press, detect the tab and try put the focus in to the next one?... Mm... Any suggestions are really welcome :) Thanks, Nick
[flexcoders] Re: Sending a message to each headerRenderer of an Adv DataGrid?
I can this now :)
There's a headerItems array property on the Adv DG that I can loop and
invoke a method to tell the headerRenderers to do something...
Here's some sample code to loop through all the headerItems but only invoke
the method if the header is of a certain Renderer...
for(var intLoop:int = 0; intLoop < advancedDataGrid.headerItems[0].length;
intLoop++){
if(advancedDataGrid.headerItems[0][intLoop] is HeaderFilterRenderer)
HeaderFilterRenderer(advancedDataGrid.headerItems[0][intLoop]).clearFilter();
}
Hope that helps someone...

[flexcoders] Sending a message to each headerRenderer of an Adv DataGrid?
Hello, At the moment, we are using EventBroker.subscribe within the headerRenderer's of a DataGrid so they can listen out for a "CLEAR_FILTERS" event. This fires a function to set the textinput object to "" which is inside the headerRenderer. Does anyone know any other way to talk to the headerRenderer to tell it to do something without it having to subscribe to a custom event? I had the same problem with itemRenderers and I've overcome it by creating/modifying an attribute flag on the XML which I then text for on the itemRenderers listData setter function. Nick
[flexcoders] Re: How to disable the folder/tree icon in Adv Data Grid?
Actually, just to add to this... I've taken this project over from someone else and there is a feature that groups the data and for that we do need the treeColumn which is why it's being shown. Is there a way to only use the treeColumn if the grouping is activated and not if the dataProvider:XML has children? Mmmm... Perhaps there's another way to do this... What I'm actually trying to do is display the address data in the grid and when a button is clicked, it asks the parent to fire an URL Request to load the productDetails XML for that address row, this is then appended to the the Address node XML, which in turn will (hopefully) cause my listData setter to be modified for that row so I can then set the sub-Data Grid to visible = true. Has anyone else loaded data dynamically for a sub-Data Grid in side an itemRenderer of an Advanced Data Grid?

[flexcoders] How to disable the folder/tree icon in Adv Data Grid?
Hello, I've got an Advanced Data Grid that lists XML data in the following (simplified) form... Clicking a button in the Adv Data Grid row, appends a child XML node to the row clicked so it looks like this... This product data is then to be displayed in a DataGrid under one of the column renderers. My initial problem is that now the node has children, the Adv Data Grid is now showing a folder icon, as if it is expandable and it is overriding my item Renderer - is it possible to stop this? Thanks for any help... Nick
Re: [Spam] [flexcoders] Re: Memory leak with Data Grid and Item Renderers
Hi, There doesn't seem to be a removeAllChildren() method of the Advanced Data Grid. Also, when I test test the numChildren property it only gives me 4 but I've got a renderer (child) for each of the 9 columns over 20 rows = 180... I've just found a rendererArray which is an Array of Arrays for the renderers for each row/Column... I'm hoping I may be able to delete the 'children' this way? have you ever used this property? or perhaps there's another way to delete the 'children' of the Adv Data Grid?

Re: [Spam] [flexcoders] addEventListner help
Hi, As far as i'm aware the event is fired, which in turn calls a function that is set using button.addEventListener(MOUSE.CLICK, myClickHandler) So when the CLICK event fires on the button object it invokes "myClickHandler" pasing it an event object. if you want to call another function at the end of the myClickHandler, I guess you cuold just call it at the bottom of that function.

[flexcoders] Skinning a scrollbar with Symbols, SWFs with poor mans Flash CS?
Hi, By looking at the .css file from a ScaleNine theme I think I've worked out how to reskin a scrollbar in Flex using symbols from a .SWF file I've also stumbled across a tutorial that shows how to do it using PNG images. I'm guessing the advantage to using Symbols in SWF's is that the images can be vector bsaed in case the flex is scaled using ScaleX and ScaleY (and my does for the visually impaired). My problem is I don't have Flash and I'm guessing to create symbols I need it? Is there a poor mans Flash app? I just want to somehow embed my vector images inside the SWF correctly. Thanks for any help on this fine Friday :) Nick
Re: [flexcoders] Developing Flash/Flex on Linux
Personally, I'm not all that concerned about Flex Builder running on Linux, in and of itself. Now if they ported the Creative Suite as well, I would be totally psyched. Unfortunately, as long as CS is only available on Windows or OSX, I'm going to be tied to those platforms. That being said, for those who want to code on Linux, IntelliJ IDEA is an excellent editor, and feature for feature, FDT will have a very hard time competing with it with their current pricing. IDEA is $250 for a single developer license, and that includes MXML support, integrated debugger, Flex Unit integrated with the IDE, etc. To get the same features in FDT, you'd have to pay more than 3X that.

Re: [Spam] [flexcoders] Re: How do you understand the style properties and what values they need?
Hey Valdhor... Thanks for your reply, that's really helpfull...
I've looked up default.css and this is all it is...
.headerDragProxyStyle
{
fontWeight: "bold";
}
Do you how I can find out what CSS attributes can be used with the
.headerDragProxyStyle CSS style and against other Flex objects?... I'm sure
there's a few rules to follow where I can use the docs to lookup the answers
but I'm having trouble getting my head round it :-)
e.g. By chance I just tried this and alas it worked but my question now is
is everything just guess work or is there a way to find out what else I have
in my armoury... :)
.headerDragProxyStyle {
borderColor: black;
borderStyle: sold;
borderThickness: 3;
backgroundColor: green;
}
Thanks :-)

[flexcoders] headerDragProxyStyleName property on an Adv Data Grid?
Hi, When dragging to move columns on my Adv Data Grid, the user is saying it's not visible enough. I'm thinking I can make it easier to see byt changing the style property called "headerDragProxyStyleName" - but I could be wrong. I can't find anywhere that gives me a breakdown of what CSS properties makes up the "headerDragProxyStyleName" property. if that makes sense? I'm thinking it has a border, font, etc? Or is there another way to make the dragging highlight more visible? Thanks, Nick
[flexcoders] data and listData
Hi, What is the difference between data and listData and why you use one over the other? In an Adv Data Grid, I've been told that .data may render incorrect information and .listData with getters and setters are the way forward but I seem to be using .data ok and can cast it to XML to reach into the other column values... I'm a bit lost :) Cheers, Nick
Re: [flexcoders] Catalyst with Flex Builder
Technically, yes it is possible to open the code in Flex Builder 3. However, code created in Catalyst is only compatible with the Flex 4.0.0 SDK, so you will have to configure FB3 to use the Flex 4 SDK. The Adobe Open Source site has instructions on how to do this, I believe.

[flexcoders] Can I fix the right hand column to the right side of the Adv Data Grid?
Hi, I have an Adv Data Grid and I'd like to fix the last (right hand) column to the far right hand side and so it only occupies 31 pixels. I've got a load of columns in the grid and the 1st and 2nd are fixed width, the ones in the middle are variable and the last column is set to 31 pixels but I'm finding it is being as a variable width. Is it possible to fix it to the far right side? Thanks, Nick

I want to replicate the Internet Explorer Zoom button in the bottom right of the browser.

Re: [Spam] [flexcoders] what is wrong with this code?
Hi,
Try sticking inside your init function...
private function init():void
{
var str:String = "Area = ";
var area:Number = Math.PI * Math.pow(3, 2);
str = str + area.toString();
Alert.show(str);
}
And you probably need a toString() method after the area because it's a
Number and needs converting if you want to concat it to a String.

[flexcoders] Data Grid as itemRenderer not getting mouse events
Hello, I have an Adv Data Grid and Column 1's itemRenderer is set to an MXML component that has a DataGrid in it. This (sub) DataGrid is shown when a button is clicked in another column. Works great, but... I'm trying to resize the columns of the sub DataGrid but the mouse events don't seem to be getting through... Except for in Column 1 of the main Adv DataGrid and also column 3 which has a custom itemRenderer set for that column. The (sub) DataGrid has *resizableColumns="true"*. I can see that where the columns of 1 and 3 start and finish, mouse events are getting through and the (sub)DataGrid's rows are being highlighted on mouseOver as well. I guess I could create an itemRenderer for all the columns in the Adv DataGrid but am wondering why this is happening. Is something else being set on the AdvDataGrid to let the mouse events through when using a custom itemRenderer? Is there a property I can set instead? Thanks, Nick

Re: [flexcoders] Re: BlazeDS use secure channel when loaded over https.
Depending on your environment that would be a great option. It doesn't work for us because our Flex apps live within a federated portal environment. Because of the way Adobe has implemented their support for WSRP, it currently only supports a single channel.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: BlazeDS use secure channel when loaded over https.
You might put something like the following code in a preinitialize event
handler:
const reUrl:RegExp =
/(http|https):\/\/(([^:]+)(:([...@]+))?@)?([^:\/]+)(:([0-9]{2,5}))?(\/([\w#!:.?+=&%...@!\-\/]+))?/;
const appUrl:String = Application.application.url;
const parts:Array = reUrl.exec(appUrl);
if (!parts) throw new Error("Invalid URL: " + appUrl);
if (parts[1] == "http" )
{
const channels:XMLList = ServerConfig.xml..channels.channel;
for (var channel:String in channels)
{
if
(channels[channe...@type=="mx.messaging.channels.SecureAMFChannel")
{
channels[channe...@type="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel";
}
}
}
This will, on the preinitialize event, grab the url the app is being called
from, parse it with a regular expression, check to see if it's being called
from http rather than https, and modify the channels accordingly to operate
on a regular AMFChannel instead of a SecureAMFChannel.

[flexcoders] How to organise Flex projects and call one from another?

One of the tasks I've been asked to open a screen in one project when a button is clicked in another project.

[flexcoders] Alert.show for debug mode only
Hi, When coding, I often use Alert.show to give me debug messages. I know there is the trace() command but sometimes, quite often, having an dialog is just easier. I also have a a DEBUG_MODE const set to true/ false to get data and do various other things in development mode, rather than when in production. I'm sure it'll be quite easy to extend the Alert.show so that we can have something like DebugAlert.show which take into account the DEBUG_MODE const, or perhaps DEBUG_MODE could be a property of the DebugAlert class and I could just use that instead... Before I write this, has anyone else done something similar that I could use :) or are there some other usefull tools out there already for this kind of thing? Thanks, Nick
Re: [Spam] [flexcoders] Re: What does [Bindable("dataChange")] do?
Hi, thanks for the reply...
I can see similarities in the example to the code I'm looking at but my
setter doesn't dispatch an event - does this mean the
[Bindable("dataChange")] isn't needed?
Also, is [Bindable("dataChange")] specific to the data property or the
IDataRender Class?... I mean is it a coincidence that the property is called
"data" and the event is called "data"Change?
Or does the IDataRenderer dictate that there must be this
[Bindable("dataChange")] meta tag in order for the data getter and setter to
function correctly.
INterfaces are new to me as well :)
Cheers,
Nick

i'm still new to Flex... I'm going through someone's code and i'm wondering
what *[Bindable("dataChange")]* does.
It's in an ItemRenderer MXML file for an Advanced DG. it's not inside any
function, it's near the top, underneath the import statements and variable
declarations and before the first function.
Can anyone shed some light on it please?

[flexcoders] Stopping double-click of a button 'bubble' to the datagrid row
Hello, I've got an advancedDataGrid (AvDG) and the first column has an item renderer which has a button on it. The button has a click handler. There is also a itemDoubleClick handler on the AvDG. Users are double-clicking the button so this is firing the click of the button handler but the doubleClick event is also being fired on the AvDG row item. I'm guessing this is related to event bubbling or capturing? I'm trying to stop the AvDG.row doubleClick event being fired if the user double clicks on the button. Anyone got any ideas? I've tried to put a doubleClick on the button in hope that it would handle it and therefore stop the row event from being fired but ti didn't work. Now I think i need to capture the doubleClick cancel event in the button object and prevent it from bubbling from the button to the AvDG. Where do I set event.cancelable = true? Thanks, Nick

Ah nice one Jeffry... Thanks for your reply... Linked driectories... Ok, I'll look into those.

[flexcoders] Creating a flex library project that references a remote SVN path?
Hello, Is it even possible to create a flex library project that references a remote SVN path?? I'm trying to use the birdeye qavis graphing library and I've been told to create a flex library project and set the src to the remote SVN location... How do i do that? I'm stumped... I'm using FB3 with Subclipse installed if that helps. Cheers, Nick

Re: [Spam] RE: [Spam] [flexcoders] Question on Flex Script Execution + Alert.show
Why won't it work? I can't see why it wouldn't... I'm still learning Flex so
perhaps I've overlooked something.
I do agree, it is bad coding but I can't see why it wouldn't work.
The boolAlertContinue variable is in affect acting like semaphore...

Re: [Spam] [flexcoders] Question on Flex Script Execution + Alert.show
I'm not sure if this technique is frowned upon but...
You could have a new private var boolAlertContinue:Boolean = false;
In your alertHandler function, you would set it to true... boolAlertContinue
= true;
And after the Alert.show and before the if(myAlert == 1) you need to do a do
while loop...
do {
//Not sure if there's a 'dummy' command to prevent CPU hog so we'll
just check the time...
var dtmNow:Date = new Date();
}
while (boolAlertContinue);
or you could probably initialise your myAlert:int = null and in the do ...
while loop check for (myAlert != null)

[flexcoders] Grouping issue on Advanced DataGrid
Hello, I've got an advanced datagrid with 5 columns, The number_Group column has data like this... 1-10 1-10 11-20 11-20 11-20 21-30 21-30 21-30 41-50 101-110 When I apply Grouping, it works as expected but the 101-110 group is displayed before the 11-20 group. I've tried to set groupingField.numeric = true but that screws it up even more... because 11-20 isn't a number I'm guessing. Does anyone know a way around this? I could change the number_Group column to this... 1 1 11 11 21 41 101 and groupingField.numeric = true should work but I need the Grouping display to show 1-10, 11-20. Perhaps I can intercept this and modify it? Thanks, Nick

[flexcoders] How do I test if the DG row is a grouping row?
Hi, I've been asked to fix a problem with an existing project that has some icons rendered (using an ItemRenderer) in the 1st column. I need to NOT display these icons when the grouping function is activated and the row is a grouping tree. The ItemRenderer component has a get and set override function for "listData" and I've tried testing the .hasChildren inside the set function but it's always false even when the grouping function is expanded - perhaps I've misunderstood it. What's the best approach to test this? Thanks in advance! Nick
Re: [Spam] Re: [Spam] [flexcoders] ImageSnapshot without scroll bars?
OK, that's amazing... Is there not a way to test if the scrollbars are actually visible? Different from the scrollbar visible policy?... You could always crop the image I guess? can you do that in Flex/ AS? Or you could force scrollbars to be visible and then always crop the image that's produced...

[flexcoders] 5 Datagrids ontop of each other, one resizes and the ones below shift up or down?
Hi guys, Excuse the subject of this post :-) But it does sum up what I'm trying to achieve. I want to have 5 DataGrids ontop of each other in a vertical arrangement (A bit like the rows in Excel are ontop of each). In the bottom right of each DG, I want a little button that when clicked, expands/ collapses it's DG. When e.g. DG_2 is expanded, I want DG_1 to remain where it is but DG_3, DG_4 and DG_5 to shunt downwards and DG_2 will be expanded down to say ten rows. What is the best way to achieve this? Or should I be looking into DividedBox components? Or does the Tile Component help me? Or do I write it all myself using maths and do the resizing using top and bottom properties of the DG's? Thanks for any help... Nick
Re: [Spam] Re: [flexcoders] Fields grouping?
Tim and Wesley, thanks for your replies... really appreciate it. I've not been flexing for long so that's for helping me out... I treid using forms with a border and using a formheader but it didn't give the look I was after. I guess i can change my UI designs if needed though but I though the field grouping thing was a standard object in most development environments... I think the Panel will give me the best enclosure feel... One thing I've noticed about Forms is that they're great for vertical layouts but if I want to have fields side by side then I need to use two forms and then second having a blank header to force the first field to be lined up with the field in the first Form. A problem though is pressing tab in the first form moves the cursor down it's elements and then moving onto the second. I'm sure there's a way to sort this but will it be a 'hack' - checking for TAB on keypress events and applying focus to the desired field... bit messy I guess and prone to breakage. Am I wrong? Hope so... Also, where is the Shapes area in FB3? Are there drawing tools or do i have to draw within a specific container? Cheers for the help guys!

[flexcoders] Fields grouping?
hi guys, Is there a component that allows us to group fields/ objects together? I can't find a built in object, I'm after something visual that i can use to group fields, such as all the address fields together and another group to collate the numerous emails and phone numbers... Can I draw it? Is there a line tool? Thanks! :) Nick

Depends on your requirements. Personally between those two, I lean more toward PureMVC, although the ideal would be to simply roll your own "framework" based on only the design patterns you need. On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 12:44 PM, mhbmarcos wrote: > > > Hi!!!, which is the best option? > > >

Hi Vikram, I have been using a class to convert Datagrid data into html and then sending to the a small script that will output the Excel data. I used alot of the code I found here <http://www.cflex.net/showFileDetails.cfm?ObjectID=298&Object=File&Chann\ elID=1> but modified it into a class for reuse. Shoot me an email and I will send you the files if you would like. Good luck!

[flexcoders] Re: Autofilter Datagrid
Thanks! I had a feeling that was the case. I can paginate no problem BUT I want to ensure the filter does iterate over the entire collection. Being that each page would essentially have to go back to the server I am not sure the "real time as the user types" functionality is going to be feasible beyond the users current page. I may have to implement this as a web service call. Then again I could use a combination of both. Load a manageable amount of records per page, enable as you type filtering, and then add a "search entire database" option to the filter controls. Does anyone have any good examples of this filter as you type functionality? Thanks again.

[flexcoders] Autofilter Datagrid
Hello all. I have a DataGrid that is loading thousands of records. I would like to be able to add some filter controls to the top of the screen enabling users to filter the data. I would like the filtering to happen in real time as the user types their query. I know this has been accomplished before I just can't seem to find the best solution. Any thoughts on the best way to approach this? Thanks. Nick
[flexcoders] Re: Flex with IBM Websphere / DB2
Do you have to communicate directly to the DB2 server AND/OR the application server? I would image you have a bunch of options. My initial thought is to install unixODBC with the proper driver for connecting to DB2. This way you can develop scripts on the Linux server to expose an interface to Flex and access the DB2 data. My experience with unixODBC for connections to DB2 have been successful when the datasets are small. If you are just going to be talking to the Websphere server and the server is already exposing web services you can consume them on the Linux server and expose them to Flex. I am assuming here that the Linux server does have access to DB2 and Websphere. At the very least you will probably want to get a LAMP stack running on the Linux machine. Just some thoughts.

Well, if you really want to develop Flex on Linux, you could always check out IntelliJ IDEA 8.1, which I'm told has pretty nice Flex development features.

Re: [flexcoders] SDK 3.3 and flash.* imports
I had something similar happen where I could no longer access the Graphics class. I couldn't use code completion with it, and in fact I couldn't even compile anything that was using it. Reinstalling Flex Builder then adding in the newer SDK did fix the problem though.

Re: [flexcoders] Smallest filesize of a swf in Flex 3 is larger then Flex 2?
A big part of that reason is that when you attach any library, be it the SDK or an external SWC, as a RSL, it is going to increase the size of a singular app. The reason is that when a library is specified as an RSL, the ENTIRE library gets loaded, not just the parts that are "needed", since it doesn't know what classes will be needed. Additionally, RSLs are all loaded at Frame 1, and are mandatory (meaning all RSLs are required to be loaded), increasing the load time if they haven't been downloaded previously. Where you see the major gains with RSLs is when you are using them across multiple applications, because rather than re-download the RSL, it will pull the RSL from the browser cache, speeding the load time, although it is still loading more classes than otherwise. For this reason RSLs are usually a bad idea for a single application, because it will actually have a smaller size all compiled into a single SWF, and loading bits of the application via modules, which are only loaded as needed.

I'm pretty sure that was more of an Alpha, or very, very early beta... from the information on the opensource.adobe.com it seems they're still hashing out core features such as the FX namespace for Gumbo components, etc. so it's nowhere near production ready.
