[flexcoders] Re: How to access web page on own web site.
thanks Tracy Spratt, You want to use Flex to navigate to html pages? If so, that is a serious waste of Flex RIA technology. Well, Since Flex application is occupying almost whole space in browser to best my knowledge I found only this way to jump to Home Page and Logout from Spring Security. Can u suggest me some Good Practices material to read as far as designing Flex UI is Concerned. Till date I have very long experience as far as Desktop database applications are concerned. But web applications seems to be altogether different beast to tame. I think i have to repolish my experience and knowledge in context of web UI design since SDI or MDI windows interface seems to be not a way as far as web applications are concerned so I have to radically change my thinking for Web UI design But you can call navigateToUrl(). Thanks for the tip, Time being I will use this and proceed, hope u consider above mentioned loud thinking and help me in this respect. Thanks and regards Raja.

designing an mdi ui in flex is not that difficult. A framework is already available for that - http://code.google.com/p/flexmdi/ although as you said.. just copying a desktop design over to a web app might not be a good approach.

Thanks Peeyush, designing an mdi ui in flex is not that difficult. A framework is already available for that - http://code.google.com/p/flexmdi/ although as you said.. just copying a desktop design over to a web app might not be a good approach. Thanks for MDI framework tip. If you have some experience in web UI designing can u give me some tips about approach to be taken for Web Application UI designing which will a time saver for me. What I learnt from one or two test applications is Desktop application UI design approach doesn't suit web application UI design. I also visited some of the flex application sites there also I have noticed that SDI or MDI interface is not at all used. I need to port a heavy duty database desktop application to web application and stuck with how to design a flex UI for that. Application will be used mostly by company employees and very small functionality to be exposed to Outside world. thanks and regards Raja.
