BTW, I did send Steven an update to this a few months ago but he hasn't had time to post it. Matt -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 24, 2006 10:54 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] File - flexcodersFAQ.txt Flexcoders Frequently Asked Questions Last Updated: 30th May 2005 Contributors: Matt Chotin, Steven Webster, Alistair McLeod, Tariq Ahmed, Jeff Tapper, Peter Farland, Abdul Qabiz, Tracy Spratt, Jesse Warden, Dan Harfleet, Manish Jethani, Dimitrios Gianninas 1. What is Flexcoders? 2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Macromedia Flex Forum on www.macromedia.com? 3. Who posts to Flexcoders? 4. Resources to check before asking a question 5. Guidelines for effective question-asking 6. FAQ 1. What is Flexcoders? Flexcoders is a forum where developers can ask questions about Flex, FlexBuilder, and Flex-related technologies (like Cairngorm, FlexUnit and SynergyFLEX). The community is made up of everyday Flex developers as well as Macromedia employees. However, this is not an official Macromedia-sponsored forum, it is actually moderated by the folks at iteration::two, a consultancy responsible for authoring the book Developing Rich Internet Applications with Macromedia Flex. 2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Macromedia Flex Forum on www.macromedia.com? Both the Macromedia Flex Forum and Flexcoders provide help on issues related to Flex, and neither is an official support mechanism. Some people monitor both forums, some only one. It is up to you to decide where you might have a better experience getting a question answered and being able to subsequently help others. 3. Who posts to Flexcoders? Everyone who has a question or an answer. Many members of the Flex development team read and respond to Flexcoders as well as other Macromedia folks who monitor the community. Some recurring Macromedia folks are: David Mendels: EVP and GM, highest-level executive in charge of Flex. Lucian Beebe: Sr. Product Manager, Flex. Matt Chotin, Manish Jethani, Abdul Qabiz, Gordon Smith, Peter Farland and many more: Engineers on Flex. Active community members include: Steven Webster (Technical Director at iteration::two and co-author of Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex), Alistair McLeod (Development Director at iteration::two and co-author of Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex), Jesse Warden (JesterXL - Flash badass playing with Flex), Tracy Spratt (long-time member, holder of all knowledge related to 32K limits), Jeff Steiner (maintainer of www.flexauthority.com), Tariq Ahmed (maintainer of www.cflex.net), Jimmy Gianninas (long-time member, developer at Optimal Payments). And so many more! 4. Resources to check before asking a question The Flexcoders Mail Archive (better searching than YahooGroups): http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com http://www.cflex.net/showfaq.cfm http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/asdocs_en/index.html http://www.macromedia.com/go/flex15_java_livedocs http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm http://www.cflex.net http://www.flexauthority.com http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex http://coenraets.com http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mxna/ http://www.google.com The Book Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex (check your favorite bookstore) 5. Guidelines to effective question-asking Include a useful subject; this will help people find their own questions and answers later. Explain what you are trying to accomplish. Explain the error (include compilation errors or a description of the runtime behavior). Be prepared to break your problem down into a simpler scenario in case someone wants to try to debug the code themselves. Remember, private web services are inaccessible; you may need to create some dummy data to emulate problems. Phrases to avoid: URGENT (we all have deadlines, no one is intentionally delaying a response to you) Please send code (this is very frustrating to read as it implies you aren't interested in learning anything on your own. Where code is appropriate you can expect someone to provide it, but in many cases you will learn more by doing it on your own with appropriate guidance. It may be that you're on a deadline and just want to finish, but many of those who respond regularly would prefer to teach you to fish so that you can answer your own questions next time and even help out others). 6. Mini-FAQ Q: Can I mail Matt, Manish, Abdul, Pete, Gordon, iteration::two, or anyone else for that matter off-line with my question? A: Please don't! If someone is capable of answering your question on- list please believe that it will be done. Everyone on the list has full-time jobs doing their own work and often answer flexcoders

OK, attached is a 15 minute crack at an update.

What is Flexcoders? 2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Adobe Flex Forum on www.adobe.com? 3. Who posts to Flexcoders? 4. Resources to check before asking a question 5. Guidelines for effective question-asking 6. FAQ 1. What is Flexcoders? Flexcoders is a forum where developers can ask questions about Flex, FlexBuilder, and Flex-related technologies (like Cairngorm and FlexUnit). The community is made up of everyday Flex developers as well as Adobe employees. However, this is not an official Adobe-sponsored forum, it is moderated by the community. However the original moderators who are still actively involved are folks from iteration::two, now members of Adobe Consulting. 2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Adobe Flex Forum on www.adobe.com? Both the Adobe Flex Forum and Flexcoders provide help on issues related to Flex, and neither is an official support mechanism. Some people monitor both forums, some only one. It is up to you to decide where you might have a better experience getting a question answered and being able to subsequently help others. 3. Who posts to Flexcoders? Everyone who has a question or an answer. Many members of the Flex development team read and respond to Flexcoders as well as other Adobe folks who monitor the community. Some recurring Adobe folks are: David Mendels: EVP and GM, highest-level executive in charge of Flex. Phil Costa: Group Product Manager, Flex. Matt Chotin, Product Manager Flex. Manish Jethani, Roger Gonzalez, Cathy Murphy, Gordon Smith, Peter Farland and many more: Engineers on Flex. Active community members include: Steven Webster (Adobe Consulting RIA Practice Lead and co-author of Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex), Alistair McLeod (Adobe Consulting RIA Practice Manager and co-author of Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex), Jesse Warden (JesterXL - Flash and Flex badass), Tracy Spratt (long-time member, holder of all knowledge related to Flex 1.5 32K limits), Jeff Steiner (maintainer of www.flexauthority.com), Tariq Ahmed (maintainer of www.cflex.net), Jimmy Gianninas (long-time member, developer at Optimal Payments). And so many more with Flex 2 that it's impossible to keep track! 4.

Flexcoders is a forum where developers can ask questions about Flex, FlexBuilder, and Flex-related technologies (like Cairngorm, FlexUnit and SynergyFLEX). The community is made up of everyday Flex developers as well as Macromedia employees. However, this is not an official Macromedia-sponsored forum, it is actually moderated by the folks at iteration::two, a consultancy responsible for authoring the book Developing Rich Internet Applications with Macromedia Flex. 2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Macromedia Flex Forum on www.macromedia.com? Both the Macromedia Flex Forum and Flexcoders provide help on issues related to Flex, and neither is an official support mechanism. Some people monitor both forums, some only one. It is up to you to decide where you might have a better experience getting a question answered and being able to subsequently help others. 3. Who posts to Flexcoders? Everyone who has a question or an answer. Many members of the Flex development team read and respond to Flexcoders as well as other Macromedia folks who monitor the community.

Guidelines to effective question-asking Include a useful subject; this will help people find their own questions and answers later. Explain what you are trying to accomplish. Explain the error (include compilation errors or a description of the runtime behavior). Be prepared to break your problem down into a simpler scenario in case someone wants to try to debug the code themselves. Remember, private web services are inaccessible; you may need to create some dummy data to emulate problems. Phrases to avoid: URGENT (we all have deadlines, no one is intentionally delaying a response to you) Please send code (this is very frustrating to read as it implies you aren't interested in learning anything on your own. Where code is appropriate you can expect someone to provide it, but in many cases you will learn more by doing it on your own with appropriate guidance. It may be that you're on a deadline and just want to finish, but many of those who respond regularly would prefer to teach you to fish so that you can answer your own questions next time and even help out others). 6. Mini-FAQ Q: Can I mail Matt, Manish, Abdul, Pete, Gordon, iteration::two, or anyone else for that matter off-line with my question? A: Please don't! If someone is capable of answering your question on- list please believe that it will be done. Everyone on the list has full-time jobs doing their own work and often answer flexcoders on their own time; mailing them off- list doesnt endear you to them. If no one answers on-list in a reasonable amount of time (24 hours) you can try to rephrase the question and perhaps include more detail (including a version of the problem that someone can run without doing any setup on their own

Flexcoders Frequently Asked Questions Last Updated: 30th May 2005 Contributors: Matt Chotin, Steven Webster, Alistair McLeod, Tariq Ahmed, Jeff Tapper, Peter Farland, Abdul Qabiz, Tracy Spratt, Jesse Warden, Dan Harfleet, Manish Jethani, Dimitrios Gianninas 1. What is Flexcoders? 2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Macromedia Flex Forum on www.macromedia.com? 3. Who posts to Flexcoders? 4. Resources to check before asking a question 5. Guidelines for effective question-asking 6. FAQ 1. What is Flexcoders? Flexcoders is a forum where developers can ask questions about Flex, FlexBuilder, and Flex-related technologies (like Cairngorm, FlexUnit and SynergyFLEX). The community is made up of everyday Flex developers as well as Macromedia employees. However, this is not an official Macromedia-sponsored forum, it is actually moderated by the folks at iteration::two, a consultancy responsible for authoring the book Developing Rich Internet Applications with Macromedia Flex. 2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Macromedia Flex Forum on www.macromedia.com? Both the Macromedia Flex Forum and Flexcoders provide help on issues related to Flex, and neither is an official support mechanism. Some people monitor both forums, some only one. It is up to you to decide where you might have a better experience getting a question answered and being able to subsequently help others. 3. Who posts to Flexcoders? Everyone who has a question or an answer. Many members of the Flex development team read and respond to Flexcoders as well as other Macromedia folks who monitor the community. Some recurring Macromedia folks are: David Mendels: EVP and GM, highest-level executive in charge of Flex. Lucian Beebe: Sr. Product Manager, Flex. Matt Chotin, Manish Jethani, Abdul Qabiz, Gordon Smith, Peter Farland and many more: Engineers on Flex. Active community members include: Steven Webster (Technical Director at iteration::two and co-author of Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex), Alistair McLeod (Development Director at iteration::two and co-author of Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex), Jesse Warden (JesterXL - Flash badass playing with Flex), Tracy Spratt (long-time member, holder of all knowledge related to 32K limits), Jeff Steiner (maintainer of www.flexauthority.com), Tariq Ahmed (maintainer of www.cflex.net), Jimmy Gianninas (long-time member, developer at Optimal Payments).

Where code is appropriate you can expect someone to provide it, but in many cases you will learn more by doing it on your own with appropriate guidance.

What is Flexcoders? 2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Macromedia Flex Forum on www.macromedia.com? 3. Who posts to Flexcoders? 4. Resources to check before asking a question 5. Guidelines for effective question-asking 6. FAQ 1. What is Flexcoders? Flexcoders is a forum where developers can ask questions about Flex, FlexBuilder, and Flex-related technologies (like Cairngorm, FlexUnit and SynergyFLEX). The community is made up of everyday Flex developers as well as Macromedia employees. However, this is not an official Macromedia-sponsored forum, it is actually moderated by the folks at iteration::two, a consultancy responsible for authoring the book Developing Rich Internet Applications with Macromedia Flex. 2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Macromedia Flex Forum on www.macromedia.com? Both the Macromedia Flex Forum and Flexcoders provide help on issues related to Flex, and neither is an official support mechanism. Some people monitor both forums, some only one. It is up to you to decide where you might have a better experience getting a question answered and being able to subsequently help others. 3. Who posts to Flexcoders? Everyone who has a question or an answer. Many members of the Flex development team read and respond to Flexcoders as well as other Macromedia folks who monitor the community. Some recurring Macromedia folks are: David Mendels: EVP and GM, highest-level executive in charge of Flex. Lucian Beebe: Sr. Product Manager, Flex.

flexcoders@yahoogroups.com wrote: Q: Is there a Rich Text Editor? This answer needs to be updated: Flex 2.0 includes a Rich Text Editor, available with the mx:RichTextEditor / tag. Documentation for the component is available here: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex/langref/mx/controls/RichTextEditor.html For Flex 1.5, try the FlashTextEditor component: http://www.flashtexteditor.com/in.php Q: How can I make FlexBuilder faster? For Flex Builder 2.0, the best thing you can do is disable the Build Automatically option. Uncheck Project - Build Automatically from the menu and you should see increased performance, especially during save operations. Also, if you're not using a project make sure that you close it to free up memory. Q: Are there frameworks available for Flex? ARP is also a Flex framework, but is not included in the list. http://www.osflash.org/projects/arp/about Yes, I know the trouble/fued/history between Cairngorm and ARP, but.. well a FAQ should be unbiased and list everything available. Also, I prefer ASUnit ( http://www.asunit.org/ ) for unit testing, as opposed to FlexUnit. Q: When will Flex for .NET be available? It looks like this is won't even be available for Flex 2 Enterprise Services right away either. Everything on the labs website seems to point to Flex Enterprise Services as being J2EE only. I would imagine MM wants to get things right on one platform before porting things over to another.. -d Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get Bzzzy! (real tools to help you find a job).

fyi On : Q: When is Flex 2.0 coming out, what will be in Flex 2.0? We have released some information on Mistral in the Flash Platform Whitepaper (page 21) http://www.macromedia.com/platform/whitepapers/platform_overview.pdf http://www.macromedia.com/go/platform mike chambers [EMAIL PROTECTED] flexcoders@yahoogroups.com wrote: Flexcoders Frequently Asked Questions Last Updated: 30th May 2005 Contributors: Matt Chotin, Steven Webster, Alistair McLeod, Tariq Ahmed, Jeff Tapper, Peter Farland, Abdul Qabiz, Tracy Spratt, Jesse Warden, Dan Harfleet, Manish Jethani, Dimitrios Gianninas 1. What is Flexcoders? 2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Macromedia Flex Forum on www.macromedia.com? 3. Who posts to Flexcoders? 4. Resources to check before asking a question 5. Guidelines for effective question-asking 6. FAQ 1. What is Flexcoders? Flexcoders is a forum where developers can ask questions about Flex, FlexBuilder, and Flex-related technologies (like Cairngorm, FlexUnit and SynergyFLEX). The community is made up of everyday Flex developers as well as Macromedia employees. However, this is not an official Macromedia-sponsored forum, it is actually moderated by the folks at iteration::two, a consultancy responsible for authoring the book Developing Rich Internet Applications with Macromedia Flex. 2. How does Flexcoders relate to the Macromedia Flex Forum on www.macromedia.com? Both the Macromedia Flex Forum and Flexcoders provide help on issues related to Flex, and neither is an official support mechanism. Some people monitor both forums, some only one. It is up to you to decide where you might have a better experience getting a question answered and being able to subsequently help others. 3. Who posts to Flexcoders? Everyone who has a question or an answer. Many members of the Flex development team read and respond to Flexcoders as well as other Macromedia folks who monitor the community. Some recurring Macromedia folks are: David Mendels: EVP and GM, highest-level executive in charge of Flex. Lucian Beebe: Sr. Product Manager, Flex. Matt Chotin, Manish Jethani, Abdul Qabiz, Gordon Smith, Peter Farland and many more: Engineers on Flex. Active community members include: Steven Webster (Technical Director at iteration::two and co-author of Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex), Alistair McLeod (Development Director at iteration::two and co-author of Developing Rich Clients with Macromedia Flex), Jesse Warden (JesterXL - Flash badass playing with Flex), Tracy Spratt (long-time member, holder of all knowledge related to 32K limits), Jeff Steiner (maintainer of www.flexauthority.com), Tariq Ahmed (maintainer of www.cflex.net), Jimmy Gianninas (long-time member, developer at Optimal Payments).

Guidelines to effective question-asking Include a useful subject; this will help people find their own questions and answers later. Explain what you are trying to accomplish. Explain the error (include compilation errors or a description of the runtime behavior). Be prepared to break your problem down into a simpler scenario in case someone wants to try to debug the code themselves.
