AS Workers under Chrome

2013-03-15 Thread Simon Gladman
Hi all,

Although not primarily Flex related, some great news this week: the latest 
release of Chrome properly supports AS Workers. 

I've blogged about it here: 
http://flexmonkey.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/actionscript-workers-now-work-under.html

Cheers,

Simon

Uriana News!

2013-03-15 Thread Carlos Velasco
A friend of mine said me he is not receiving notifications about Uriana at
users mail list, so I have created a new thread to notify news on Uriana
Development process.

Good day to everyone on the community!,

I will try to keep you all informed about the status and improvements at *
Uriana*:

Uriana's site: https://www.assembla.com/spaces/uriana/wiki

*Framework Core Library* - Documentation almost complete and a coding
example provided. Hope you'll find it enough to get an idea of how Uriana
works.
*Core Extensions Library* - Documenting right now, you can find several
examples of how to use the Mediators provided by the library. Hope to
finish it during the weekend.

Code is updated at repository and I am still to update the downloads page
with the last improvements.

Hope to hear feedback from you and advices.

Thanks in advance.


Hope you receive it now!.

Cheers, Carlos.


Wokers in library projects

2013-03-15 Thread Mark Line
Bit of a random question but I thought someone on here may know if it's
possible.

 

Has anyone managed to use AS3 workers with in a library project?

 

Currently I embed the worker with into the project (the default way Flash
builder tries to get add a worker).  I can't however use  the "embedded"
meta tag in a pure AS3 project.

 

For example this won't work for me: 

 

[Embed(source="workerswfs/uk/co/fujifilm/WordParserWorker.swf",
mimeType="application/octet-stream")]

 

I experimented using  "Worker.current.isPrimordial" then creating a worker
from "worker = WorkerDomain.current.createWorker(this.loaderInfo.bytes);"

 

Although this.loaderInfo will only be valid if I've added the class to the
display list, as the worker I want to use is just for processing data I
don't really want to add it to the display list as it's a bit of a hack and
I'll have to clear up after it.

 

I'm compiling everything with Apache Flex 4.9 targeting fp 11.5 and air 3.5



right storage folder according to iOS guidelines?

2013-03-15 Thread Lucas Junqueira / Ciclope
Hi, I was wondering where is the best place to store a larger amount of
data on iOS devices. Currently, I know that
"File.applicationStorageDirectory" is no good since it will be backed up by
iCloud. I was thinking about using "File.documentsDirectory" that, on
Android, points to the SD card. The data is not sensitive (I don't care if
people gain access to it). Can I keep using "File.documentsDirectory"
without harming the iOS development guidelines?

Thank you.

CFServices.swc source

2013-03-15 Thread Chris Velevitch
Did or will Adobe provide the source to CFServices .swc? This library
comes with Coldfusion 9+ and provides a seamless way of direct access
to certain Coldfusion tags without have to write an Coldfusion code.

It is not donated.  Is there a need to modify it?  Otherwise, it might as
well stay with CF?

Re: CFServices.swc source

2013-03-15 Thread Jack Ring
I can imagine the Apache Flex committers unknowingly breaking it from the flex 
end sometime in the future.

Then what? Adobe is going to patch their swc to match what Apache Flex does?

It's going to happen.

Sorry, I don't know this SWC at all.  What dependencies does it have on the
Flex SDK?  I assumed it was designed for working with non-Flex ActionScript
projects as well.

Re: CFServices.swc source

2013-03-15 Thread Chris Velevitch
I don't about Actionscript only projects, but cfservices will
definitely work with Flex projects. The only real dependency issues
would on Coldfusion itself, as Adobe provided built-in mechanism in
Coldfusion to expose those services. If they decide remove it, then
that's a real problem, as we would then also need the source the the
Coldfusion code behind those services as well as the cfadministrator
code to enable it.

For samples of cfservices in action see [1]

Can you unzip the swc and send me or post the catalog.xml?  That will tell
us what its dependencies are.

Re: CFServices.swc source

2013-03-15 Thread Kai Koenig
You could decompile the library.swf in the swc and just have a look. 

Note: doing so might break some ColdFusion EULA regulations depending on where 
in the world one is while doing it. Don't try this at home!

My personal educated guess is: the CF service classes like for instance 
 wrap some remoting calls to the default CF remoting endpoint and 
talk to the set of CFCs in CFIDE/services.

I don't think there'd be many dependencies on the Flex SDK.

Cheers
Kai

The catalog.xml contains everything we need to know for now and doesn't
require decompilation.
