Where to get Flex Help?
Greetings, Sorry if this is off-topic for the group. I have a technical question about using Flex (involves custom component creation and skinning.) I am not reporting an issue with 4.9 though I am using it. Where can I post these types of "Help me please" questions now that the community has moved to Apache? In the past I went to the Adobe Flex Forums ... is that still the best place to post? Thanks for your help. * Lionel*
Extending s:Panel to allow multiple content areas (Need help please)
Greetings, Below is a picture of what I am trying to achieve (Target.png) *[image: Inline image 1]* The image is of a panel described (in pseudo MXML) with *Panel* *VGroup* *HGroup* *(Header backgound)* *(Header content)* *HGroup* *VGroup* *(Left panel background)* *(Left panel content)* *VGroup* *(Right panel background)* *(Right panel content)* * * I want to create a component (extending s:Panel) that allows a junior developer to achieve the same result by simply writing (again pseudo MXML) *CustomPanel* *headerContainer* *(Header content)* *leftContainer* *(Left panel content)* *rightContainer* *(Right panel content)* * * I was looking at a tutorial from http://saturnboy.com/2010/07/multiple-content-area-containers/ and have not been successful getting the results I am aiming for. I have subclassed s:Panel (ThreeTieredPanel.as) and created a custom skin for it (ThreeTieredPanelSkin). In the subclass I have added three new groups (searchGroup, masterGroup, detailGroup), but cannot get their content to be displayed. I think if I can get beyond that point (getting the content to display), then I will be able to format as needed. Attached are an image and my exported Flex project. I am using FB4.7 and Flex SDK 4.9 Thank you for any help you can provide.* * <>

Thank you Jonathan, That is pretty much my approach. However, some detail is preventing me from getting it working. * Lionel A.

I've read 4.9.1 has been released. Is there somewhere I can read the release notes for this version before I download it? Thanks * Lionel*

Adobe’s chief technology officer headed to Apple
This might be old news for some of you but ... h. http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/adobes-chief-technology-officer-headed-to-apple/2013/03/20/fa0a4302-9154-11e2-bdea-e32ad90da239_story.html * Lionel*
Re: Adobe¹s chief technology officer headed to Apple
Unlikely. I think more of a "Thanks for taking care of that 'thing' for us before ... welcome aboard (as promised)." *Lionel* On Wed, Mar 20, 2013 at 11:21 AM, Lee Burrows wrote: > I cant wait for that Apple press release announcing Flash will be > pre-installed next iPhone ;) > > > On 20/03/2013 15:10, Fréderic Cox wrote: > >> That does not shock me much, what is shocking to me is the fact that they >> do not replace him .. >> >> Fréderic Cox >> >> >> >> >> On 20/03/13 16:07, "Lionel Pierre" wrote: >> >> This might be old news for some of you but ... h. >>> >>> http://www.washingtonpost.com/**business/technology/adobes-** >>> chief-technology-<http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/adobes-chief-technology-> >>> officer-headed-to-apple/2013/**03/20/fa0a4302-9154-11e2-bdea-** >>> e32ad90da239_st >>> ory.html >>> >>> * >>> Lionel* >>> >> >> >> > > -- > Lee Burrows > ActionScripter > >
Re: Adobe¹s chief technology officer headed to Apple
Call me paranoid, but if I had to sabotage something ... I would probably make sure to 'appear' to be its greatest defender too. I'm only being half serious here. I just find it funny that he ends up at Apple ... of all places. Just one of those things that make me think "hmmm ... interesting" *Lionel* On Wed, Mar 20, 2013 at 12:15 PM, Angelo Anolin wrote: > But wasn't it Kevin Lynch who actually lambasted Apple for not supporting > flash technology in their iPhone and iPad products?
