Re: [flexcoders] Yahoo Maps built with Flex!
It's called web content writers that know diddly squat about what they are writing. SWC is like a Java JAR file; it contains code and assets applicable to a control. The Flex SWC is just the packaged component; a zip file with the component in a SWF + code defintion files used for compiling + catalog XML file + icon file + all other assets. The Flex framework is demployed in an .swc file as well. I can either give you a bunch of folders full of code that you must compile, or I can give you 1 swc file that's already compiled, with the flexibility of it compiling into your app. - Original Message - From: "Robert Thompson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 9:47 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Yahoo Maps built with Flex! > > Why does the Flex API require use of a Shockwave > > Control instead of simply the Flash control? > > I dont think this is true. > Maybe I'm just mis-understanding this (is SWC a new way to deploy Flex Builder components or something?): From http://ws1.inf.scd.yahoo.com/maps/flash/flexGettingStarted.html In order to create and test applications using Yahoo!

RE: [flexcoders] Yahoo Maps built with Flex!
The Flex API for Yahoo Maps does not require Shockwave. The pure-Flash, nothing-Shockwave-in-it SWC format is named SWC for historical reasons (ie, we never changed it to something that makes more sense). Yahoo gives the full name, ShockWave(r) Control, in one place that I noticed. Hopefully they can change this to just say SWC. -Brian > -Original Message- > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Thompson > Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 9:08 AM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Yahoo Maps built with Flex! > > Why does the Flex API require use of a Shockwave > Control instead of simply the Flash control? > > Although I'm not saying this is the case, there is > prob. only one thing I'm sensetive to when it comes to > macromedia, and that would be anything going on to try > to unnecessarily require someone to adopt a certain > technology only for the sake of spreading it (e.g. I > like the new plans for Flex2 that won't _require_ > getting involved in the huge license of Flex > Presentation Server; on the same token, all my > customers have complained heavily in the past about > Shockwave versus Flash; Flash is _always_ preferred). > > -r > > > --- David Mendels <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > More info here: > > > http://www.techcrunch.com/2005/11/02/new-yahoo-maps-shows-powe > r-of-flash > > / > > > > I suspect this is the highest profile Flex app to > > date.

Wow. This is the first app where you can easily compare apples to oranges. I cant tell you how many people really cant understand the difference between flash/flex and DHTML/ajax. Its wierd.
