[flexcoders] Re: Newbie Question: Drag-And-Drop between two Flex-SWF files
Sure! First of all, I have my JSP based application, which manages all the interaction between pages and business objects. When reaching the frontend subject, we thought of Flex for that job. So we began analyzing building some UI components which combine business logic in a fancy way. Those components (in SWF format), we'd like to use several times across the application, in different use cases. At the bottom line, we end up having (for example) a JSP page with 2+ embedded SWF/Flex files, that we would like to interact with each other. For instance, imagine a "Registration" component working with a "Shopping Cart" component as two different SWF files in the same JSP, and then reusing the "Registration" one with another SWF file in another page. I might be looking it the wrong way, but it's the approach we were looking for. (By the way, I'd be really interesting to find out it is wrong.) =) Thanks in advance --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Clint Modien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Can you tell the list a bit more about your trying to do... it sounds like > your going about this the wrong way? > > On 11/3/05, Pablo Apanasionek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > i'm extremely new to Flex and, although I've seen in a few days part > > of the potential it has to give, I still got a lot to learn. > > > > Question comes here: I've tested the ability to drag-and-drop between > > two different custom components and it works amazingly well without > > demanding a lot of code.

Tom, thanks for your answer. In a middle step in my way of discover, I tried using a wrapper and it worked well, including D&D effects and events. Thanks for the localConnection tip too!

[flexcoders] Re: Newbie Question: Drag-And-Drop between two Flex-SWF files
Tom, it's me again. I've tested it the good and the bad way: Flex and localConnection via JS, but using simple operations like sending messages to each SWF, etc. Do you have any examples or link where it shows how to drag and drop using localConnection?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Newbie Question: Drag-And-Drop between two Flex-SWF files
It's not possible to drag an mc from one embedded swf to another, not visually, at least... So the only option imo, is to design your html page in such a way that the 2 swfs can be loaded into 1 wrapper swf...essentially making it 1 application... You can however, let two embedded swfs transfer data to another using localconnection, but then you loose the visual d&d handling...

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Newbie Question: Drag-And-Drop between two Flex-SWF files
Ya I thought so... technically no it isn't "wrong" it's just not what flex was meant for. Instead of writing multiple small flex SWF "pages" you'd write one user interface in flex and use ActionScript to control the interaction on the client. There are so many advantages of doing it this way over your traditional JSP/HTML application I really wouldn't know where to start. (client side caching... zero post backs... drag and drop... drawing... ). Flex is a beautiful framework to write web apps in and based on what you've said your leveraging very few of what flex has to offer. I would SERIOUSLY consider re-architecting your application. The data interaction you've already written can still be used with flex through remote objects and unless you have an incredibly large JSP app I'm willing to bet recoding it in mxml would be very painless.
