Most commentators probably harp on Flash simply because it can do almost everything and they are probably sick of always having to talk about it.

So using AIR for mobile is a good option regardless.

Re: [OT] Thinking about improving the FLEX product.
I think there are many other ways to get people working on Apàche FLEX than giving donations to Apache expecting money goes where it was intended to go. I mean. As I see it, collaborating at Apache is a matter of wish, people wishes to help and contributes... Well, what is the problem on founding a parallel fundation that hire the programmers and make them collaborate and contribute to Apache Flex as committers... There are always many ways to get the same goal folks... 2015-02-26 18:44 GMT-03:00 Alex Harui aha...@adobe.com: Couple of notes on this: The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) does not currently take “directed donations”. That means that if you send in a check to the ASF, you can’t dictate that it goes only to Flex, it only goes to the general fund and is shared by all projects. There are many ongoing discussions to change that, but even then, there are likely to be restrictions on using the funds to pay developers. Directed funds are likely to go for servers, events, marketing, but not development. There is a strong ASF sentiment towards never having the ASF pay any developer directly. I’m not sure of the reason, but it may just be that then the unpaid volunteers will start asking to be paid to contribute. So, the proposed solutions are for folks to come up with their own ways to pool money including crowd funding sites. But the model that the ASF commonly promotes is this: Companies that want to support development of a project should simply hire developers to work on that project. No need to try to form a consortium or foundation and deal with tracking the money and taxes. Just hire someone to do the work or to do your work so you can contribute. If you have extra money to donate to the ASF, spend that money on hiring a Flex developer, even part-time. I can guarantee you that if Adobe stops paying me to work on Flex, I’ll be trying to stitch together a living by working on Flex by trying to get companies to pay me to work on Flex. Live Support is a tricky topic. A couple of big companies I’ve talked to want another big company to pick up support for Flex. Not sure who a candidate would be, but in the ASF, live support is a community thing. There are folks watching the mailing list essentially 24/7 already. But that’s not good enough for these big companies. Adobe has only promised 5 years of support for Flex. Not sure when the deadline is up, or if Adobe will immediately stop at the 5 year point, but as we near the 5 year point, it will be interesting to see which big companies still want Flex support and if we can convince some other big company to pick up the ball if Adobe no longer wants it. -Alex On 2/25/15, 11:46 PM, Carlos Velasco carlos.velasco.bla...@gmail.com wrote: The last threads about whether it would be good or not to create a virtual machine which moves FLEX from using the Adobe Flash Player or not, have made me spent many time thinking about the whole thing.

Re: [OT] Thinking about improving the FLEX product.
The idea is getting companies still interested on making money from development of flex products involved in committing a regular fee to get 4 parallel software development teams working on the FLEX ecosystem to give them back tools and support that guarantee the evolution. In the end, it is investing on having better tools and better base support that by the time could make their own clients feel more secure when buying FLEX based solutions. Of course it is needed a foundation infrastructure or so in order to get the things working. It could also be created as a club of FLEX supporters companies too, but making it a foundation lets the improvements for everyone using the techonlogy, which I think is the core idea. 2015-02-26 5:37 GMT-03:00 piotrz piotrzarzyck...@gmail.com: Hi Carlos, Your thoughts is something what is in my mind for a long time.

Re: SharedEvents entre Applications, Subapplications,Modules
En Uriana, el proceso de carga de módulos está automatizado. Cada submódulo tiene un controlador principal al que se asocian subcontroladores de sección si fueran necesarios y los mediadores de los recursos que el módulo aloja. El problema que veo es que tendrías que cambiar la app y los módulos para que usen Uriana, que puede ser mucho trabajo así de golpe. Los mediadores establecen las reglas de comunicación entre el recurso que alojan y el resto de la aplicación; es decir, registran los eventos que desean escuchar desde la Aplicación (para mediar en la gestión de la operativa del recurso), así como en caso de ser necesario, exponen un API pública para la gestión directa del recurso. De esta forma, un recurso siempre se comparte de forma estandarizada al resto de la aplicación, bien en base al paso de eventos, bien mediante el acceso directo al mediador que lo gestiona desde cualquier otro mediador, independientemente de la ubicación física de ambos mediadores. En el proceso de carga de los módulos, dicho controlador es linkado con el controlador de la aplicación, así que cualquier evento lanzado desde cualquier mediador en la aplicación puede ser recibido por cualquier mediador que haya declarado su interés en escucharlo, con independencia de cómo estos han sido incorporados a la aplicación. En la descarga de módulos, también se ha automatizado la limpieza de recursos. Se que falta mucha información sobre Uriana, pero posiblemente sea de tu interés darle una vuelta. Para usar el framework, conecta al repositorio, enlaza con los proyectos (com.uriana.flex.framework.core, com.uriana.flex.framework.core.extensions y com.uriana.flex.framework.application. Si vas a realizar aplicaciones para mobile: com.uriana.flex.framework.mobile). Simplemente precisas hacer un build para obtener los swc. Realmente para las aplicaciones sólo necesitas el com.uriana.flex.framework.application.swc o el com.uriana.flex.framework.mobile.swc Los otros son sólo para construir. Te recomiendo que lo hagas en un workspace independiente y luego tomes los swc generados y los pegues en tu proyecto como librerías. Lo único que con Uriana, lo mismo ya no necesitas RobotLegs, eso ya al gusto. Lo bueno de Uriana, a mi parecer es: - Obliga a seguir una programación estructurada. (Fuerza a colocar el código en lugares concretos). - Ofrece muchos mediadores preconstruidos para Desktop, Web y Mobile. - La arquitectura de aplicación y enlace de piezas está automatizado, lo que convierte el proceso de desarrollo en crearse los mediadores custom que se precisen y la esctructura de controladores que se desee. - Sólo se precisa extender las clases base para que el comportamiento se personalice a la aplicación a construir. - Sigue el patrón simplificado Mediador(Recurso) - Controlador. - Está portado a varias tecnologías como: J2EE, GWT, C#, Android SDK (este último aún en construcción). No me extiendo más, si te interesa tener más información sobre cómo funciona el framework, no dudes en preguntar.

Re: Open source flash player
Adam, the client you're talking about is the right client for Javascript... When talking about flex, the scope changes. Flex is intended for medium-high weight enterprise RIA developments and there is where Javascript is a piece of rubbish (dirty and expensive to maintain). It is not a matter of venting, but of trying to separate both kinds of clients as their needs are different and also belong to different markets. Instead, there have been lots of movements trying to raise JS out of its simple-buggy-dirty applications development scope, which is what makes me feel like WTF!!! 2013/11/7 Adam Malejko a...@malejko.com Carlos, I'm not sure if your comment was directed at mine, or if you were just venting a bit, but when I said that I don't personally need it, I meant it. What my clients want a lot of the time is a simple site for customers to sign up, or do something fancy like their backend does, yet get it done quick and dirty. Fussing with consumers or other enterprises who don't necessarily have Flash even installed (yes, they exist) isn't something we like to do. So, we often we will just write something in JavaScript that connects to our backend. I would rather have something somewhat connected to the backend app, written in the same language, but as it is, I can't do that. Having the option to output a simple app / site in JavaScript is appealing in that regard. Letting a JavaScript/CSS guy mess with and style up the output; even more appealing. -Adam On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 2:14 AM, Carlos Velasco carlos.velasco.bla...@gmail.com wrote: I don't really know why people are so entusiast with the idea of porting FLEX to a hell shit (just my opinion) technology as Javascripy it is just like throwing away HD smart TVs and making a party to welcome Black and White TVs...

Re: Callout Buttons inside Callout Content
CalloutButton instances are to be closed using the closeDropDown() method
which is causing the problem. Calling it for one instance is closing all
instances. I think it was programmed that way thinking there would never be
2 CalloutButton instances opened at a time, but It really happens when you
use CalloutButtons inside the contents that are displayed when an instance
of CalloutButton is opened.
Should it be thought as a bug
2013/9/17 Jerry Hamby jerryha...@vdex.com
Carlos,
This may or may not be of some help, but this is the way I control
Callouts:
I build a class to handle all opening and closing of callouts. I call it
the CalloutMaster.
I create a property var to store the reference to each open callout, if
you have 2 callouts open then you would have 2 separate properties for
reference.
example:
public var pLoginCallout:Callout = new loginCallout;
public var pSettingsCallout:Callout = new settingsCallout;
I then can kill one or both of the reference at a time.
CalloutMaster.getInstance().mKillLoginCallout();
public function mKillLoginCallout():void{
if(pLoginCallout){
pLoginCallout.close();
pLoginCallout = null;
}
}
There may be easier ways, but this works well as an overall callout
control. This also works nicely if you are dealing with
mobile devices and need to handle the closing or resizing during a
orientation change.

2013/9/18 Maurice Amsellem maurice.amsel...@systar.com
Hi again,
I have found a workaround:
DropDownController has public variable called hitAreaAdditions that
contains a list of DisplayObject to be excluded from triggering callout
close.
So you could just add CalloutButton2.callout to these hit areas when it's
open, and remove it when it's closed.
I have made a simple test, and it's working fine (when clicking Close
button inside Callout2, only Callout2 is closed).
Note: dropDownController is not accessible from CalloutButton, so you will
have to override CalloutButton to make it public.
WDYT ?

Objet : RE: Callout Buttons inside Callout Content
Hi,
I have checked the source code, and the bug is in
DropDownController.systemManager_mouseDownHandler(), which makes an
incorrect assumption.
It assumes that if a mouse down occurs OUTSIDE of the callout, then the
callout should be closed.
This is true, unless the mouse down occurs INSIDE ANOTHER Callout, in
which case, it should be ignored.
See code below.
What do you think ?
/**

Re: Callout Buttons inside Callout Content
CalloutButton instances are to be closed using the closeDropDown() method
which is causing the problem. Calling it for one instance is closing all
instances. I think it was programmed that way thinking there would never be
2 CalloutButton instances opened at a time, but It really happens when you
use CalloutButtons inside the contents that are displayed when an instance
of CalloutButton is opened.
Should it be thought as a bug

Carlos,
This may or may not be of some help, but this is the way I control
Callouts:
I build a class to handle all opening and closing of callouts. I call
it the CalloutMaster.
I create a property var to store the reference to each open callout,
if you have 2 callouts open then you would have 2 separate properties
for reference.
example:
public var pLoginCallout:Callout = new loginCallout; public var
pSettingsCallout:Callout = new settingsCallout;
I then can kill one or both of the reference at a time.
CalloutMaster.getInstance().mKillLoginCallout();
public function mKillLoginCallout():void{
if(pLoginCallout){
pLoginCallout.close();
pLoginCallout = null;
}
}
There may be easier ways, but this works well as an overall callout
control. This also works nicely if you are dealing with mobile devices
and need to handle the closing or resizing during a orientation
change.

Re: Callout Buttons inside Callout Content
Thanks Maurice, I understood it that way. I asked because I don't know the
procedure to raise bugs in order to get it resolved.
2013/9/18 Maurice Amsellem maurice.amsel...@systar.com
Yes, of course it needs a permanent fix (on DropDownController, see
previous mail).
The workaround was just intended to help you while waiting for the fix.

I think this kind of stuff is to be resolved for future SDK releases
rather than letting anyone implement its own workaround, don't you agree?
By the time, I will try the overriding suggestion and let you all know.

Hi again,
I have found a workaround:
DropDownController has public variable called hitAreaAdditions that
contains a list of DisplayObject to be excluded from triggering
callout close.
So you could just add CalloutButton2.callout to these hit areas when
it's open, and remove it when it's closed.
I have made a simple test, and it's working fine (when clicking Close
button inside Callout2, only Callout2 is closed).
Note: dropDownController is not accessible from CalloutButton, so you
will have to override CalloutButton to make it public.
WDYT ?

Hi,
I have checked the source code, and the bug is in
DropDownController.systemManager_mouseDownHandler(), which makes an
incorrect assumption.
It assumes that if a mouse down occurs OUTSIDE of the callout, then
the callout should be closed.
This is true, unless the mouse down occurs INSIDE ANOTHER Callout, in
which case, it should be ignored.
See code below.
What do you think ?
/**
* @private
* Called when the systemManager receives a mouseDown event. This
closes
* the dropDown if the target is outside of the dropDown.
*/
mx_internal function systemManager_mouseDownHandler(event:Event):void
{

mouseIsDown = false;

Re: Image properties problem when view is not a firstView in Flex
If you're interested take a try on Uriana (
https://www.assembla.com/spaces/uriana/wiki) as it makes unnecessary the
use of creationComplete and this problem might not happen to you.
Cheers,
Carlos.
2013/7/9 Mark Line markl...@gmail.com
Hi Philip,
I've cc the users as it may help someone else.
To fix your problem it's pretty simple. I've just added an event listener
on
the complete event which the spark Image control has.
The event is dispatched once the Image control has loaded its source.
The full class is below:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
s:View xmlns:fx=http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009;
xmlns:s=library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark title=VIEW1
creationComplete=view1_creationCompleteHandler(event)
fx:Script
![CDATA[
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
protected function
view1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
{
//trace(Image Width = +
myImage1.bitmapData.width);
}
private function
myImage1_completeHandler(event:Event):void
{
trace(Image Width = +
myImage1.bitmapData.width);
}
]]
/fx:Script
s:Image id=myImage1 source=images/image1.jpg
complete=myImage1_completeHandler(event) /
/s:View
As to why you were seeing the problem in the first place. You were
listening
for the creation complete function the view. The view will dispatch the
event once all of its children have been created. (By children I mean
components you have added to the view in mxml in this case)
An spark Image control was created (if you look in the debugger you can
see)
but it hadn't loaded its content. This is why the bitmapData was null.
Hope that helps explain

Subject: Image properties problem when view is not a firstView in Flex
Hi Mark,
I have attached an fxp file (160k) to highlight the problem.
With the initial configuration, when I click the View1 button, the image
in view1, does not appear to have properties in the creation complete
handler?
If I change the Main program, so the firstView is View1 (rather than Main),
then all OK?
In my actual program, I want to go to a main program and then select the
view I wish to go to.
When I go to the view (view1 in this test example), I want to get the

I don't understand why the properties exist if I go to the view as the

TIA for your help.

Re: With ref to- Creation of mobile/tablet apps in Flex projects
You could take a look to Uriana (https://www.assembla.com/spaces/uriana/wiki). Though it is still under development, it provides a mobile library that could help you so much to get your mobile apps ready and working. 2013/6/5 Elena Geller elena.gel...@gmail.com Web server has nothing to do with it. You need to create AIR app. If you work on Windows computer, i'd recommend you to use FlashDevelop, it is super easy. You can create Flex Air project and generate iOS or Android app (for iOS you need certificate though).

Re: With ref to- Creation of mobile/tablet apps in Flex projects
I think the answer to your question depends on the software you are
planning to develop. In my experience FLEX works good with form-based
applications, such as managing, registering or so, where development times
are significantly lower than using other alternative technologies and the
final app performance is acceptable.
I would stand out of the flex way for hardware consuming apps though.
By the way, Uriana helps a lot (in my opinion) to develop medium-large
mobile modular applications, as it provides several framework prebuilt
pieces to deal with common mobile issues.
Hope that helps.

Carlos, Elena Arvind hello
I have a very straight forward question to you and everyone else on this
list:
Is flex really relevant for mobile?
This is asked due to its dependency of the regular stage display list, and
inability to take advantage of stage3d performance.
Why should anyone choose flex over feathersUI for mobile development?
I love flex mainly for web desktop apps
But it seems like it needs to be re-written on top of stage3d to be
relevant for mobile
And that's exactly what Josh did when he created feathers...
Your thoughts?

Re: Example apps for new components
I agree. It is at least as important a good and useful documentation as the addition of new functionalities. I even think that new components should not be added to the framework until an standard minimum doc and examples is provided... :) El jueves, 23 de mayo de 2013, Lionel A. Pierre lion...@medez.com escribió: Adobe's Tour de Flex was useful for this purpose, illustrating the way to use the components and features as they were added to the framework. They also had the project starter application (Launchpad -- I think) that built your skeleton project based on the features you selected. As Flex continues to evolve, we may want to consider similar ways of keeping users up to date on the powerful new functionality available to them. Posts on blogs could work too though. *Lionel*
Re: [Uriana Framework] Documentation updated
I am currently creating a 'Create a Mobile Application from scratch using Uriana' tutorial that can be found at: https://www.assembla.com/spaces/uriana/wiki/Mobile_Application_Example It is not complete still, but it may help you all to get an idea of how an Uriana based mobile application looks like. I hope to be finishing it this week or before tuesday, as I am leaving the country for holidays and I won't be able to make any additions until June. By the way, I would love to retrieve some feedback, comments or questions from you guys, as they will all help me to improve the framework. Thanks in advance. Carlos. 2013/4/23 Carlos Velasco carlos.velasco.bla...@gmail.com I have updated the mobile library documentation so people could understand better the functionalities that are provided by the included mediators. I hope to begin adding tutorials and code examples in the following days. Unfortunately I will be out all May (holidays, :D), so I don't think I will be able to extend the Uriana capabilities in such a month, but I would love to leave some examples for you to begin playing with Uriana. By the way, If anyone would be interested in writting some library use examples I would help whatever I could and I think it would be a good testing experience for the framework and the best way to begin using it. Hope it all would help you guys! Cheers, Carlos.
Re: [Uriana Framework] Documentation updated
Thank you so much Mark!. It is good to know there is people out there having the intention to test and possibly use Uriana for their future developments. I hope to complete documentation and examples of the main core, extensions and mobile libraries to focus in extending the services library (to wrap Granite and BlazeDS) and adding more prebuilt common use resources. Maybe, there would be more people testing and contributing somehow in the framework these days. Hoping all that work may help community to stand at FLEX side... Carlos. 2013/4/24 Mark Fuqua m...@availdata.com I looked through your tutorial, it looks very nice. I am interested in working with Uriana if time permits in the next month or so. I think you may find feedback/comments/help hard to come by. Not because there is anything wrong with your framework, but because it is pretty much the nature of the beast. However, creating this for all the world to use (or at least see) is the best way to make sure you are doing a great job with the code and teaching is the best way to learn. Don't take a lack of response as an indicator of Uriana's quality or standing. If it develops a following, it may be a while in coming and meanwhile, developing Uriana in an open and inviting way will help you create a much better product.

Hello again Scott, did you have time to take a look to the framework? I would love to get some feedback around. Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Carlos. 2013/4/8 Carlos Velasco carlos.velasco.bla...@gmail.com It seems to me that you've been working on the same path that Uriana goes (same methodology). The point with Uriana is that when developping for IPAD you will use mobile library instead of application library, which simplifies the application-module architecture exchanging it for a simplified Sections and views within a section architecture, but in the end you change some components and extend Mobile based ones to get everything done. I find it quite simple to work with, and I hope it will fit your purposes well. Thanks for your interest.

Uriana News!
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.
