 I've been using the RichTextEditor control in Flex2b3 and am trying to
 insert img tags for, well, images into the htmlText.

The improper support (the buggy implementation?) of inline images in
Flash HTML text fields has always been a topic of complaints. Third
party developers have come up with RTE solutions (like the
flashTexteditor component from Flashloaded), but after all they are
not very reliable when it comes to inline images. 

Even if you edit the HTML source code directly, the inline images
rarely behave as expected. They do not align properly with the text, 
etc. I guess Macromedia knew about the shortcomings in this area, and
that's why the standard Flex RTE component doesn't support inline
images at all. This is definitely an area that needs improvement.

 Flex could be the one if they sort that issue.

I agree. Once Adobe addresses this issue, they should also finally get
rid of the font tag (in favour of a CSS solution) and add support
for some more HTML tags. I don't ask for tables but ol should be
supported at least.

 thought you guys could help me out.

Claudia,

Maybe you should take a look at the Cairngorm framework first before
you start from scratch. A lot of common design problems have already
been solved here. Steven Webster's six-part article series is an
excellent introduction:

 Why would a search engine want to crawl an *app*?

The application itself is not the point here. But the information that
is processed by the application may be relevant to search engines. I
have developed several Flash-based content management solutions for
Flash-based web sites (and in the future I'm going to use Flex for the
CMS backend). It would be a very useful feature if I could
automatically expose the content to search engines.

[flexcoders] Cairngorm ServiceLocator and AMFPHP

2006-05-13 Thread stefan_schmalhaus



I'd like to add an AMFPHP-based service to my Cairngorm
ServiceLocator. The example from Mike Potter's Flex/AMFPHP tutorial
works really well (for those who haven't tried it yet here's the URL
to the tutorial:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Framework:tutorials:flex2_AMFPHP),
but I don't know how to get it to work in a Cairngorm environment.

In the tutorial an additional AS class (RemotingConnection) is set
up that extends NetConnection. How do I combine this with the usual
syntax for a adding a new service to the Cg ServiceLocator, e.g.:

mx:HTTPService id=dummyDelegate
url="">
result=event.call.resultHandler( event )
fault=event.call.faultHandler( event )
showBusyCursor=true
useProxy=false /

Is this possible at all? Thanks in advance.

Renaun,

Thanks for taking the effort to make it work in F2B3. I have to admit
that I do not understand how you did it, but I'm quite impressed. ;-)
The code in the com.multispan.rpc package is rather cryptic to me. And
as you mention yourself, it's more of an experiment than a stable
solution. So I guess it's better to wait until we have a final version
of Flex and an AMF3-compatible version of AMFPHP.

[flexcoders] Re: Cairngorm Sample Store

2006-05-11 Thread stefan_schmalhaus



Thanks for all your hints and tips. I finished reading Steven
Webster's excellent 6-part series and I took a look at the old 0.99
Cairngorm files. Then I tried to set up a simple app in Flex 2 (Beta
3) with the latest Cairngorm version. But reading and studying this
stuff is one thing, setting up something new from scratch is another
story. Maybe I'm too stupid... LOL... I'm struggling with basic
things: What's the best location for the Cairngorm folders/files?
Should I import the classes into my own Flex project? Or am I supposed
to store the Cairngorm assets in a folder outside the projects hierarchy? 

It would be helpful if there was a working sample application based on
the latest Flex/Cairngorm versions. The sample applications on the
Adobe Labs site helped me a lot to grasp the overall Flex concept, the
MXML constructs, etc. I really appreciate that the developers
constantly update these samples to make sure that they work with the
latest Flex version.

They were a great help. In fact, it was the first Cairngorm app that
Flex compiled without throwing any error message. ;-) The two Word
documents you sent were also very instructive. Thanks for sharing. 

Now with your sample app, the Cairngorm login sample, and the upcoming

Hopefully some day I can also contribute to this list.
