FlexPrintJobScaleType doesn't work for me

I've absolutely no experience with printing in Flex.
I'm trying to fit the screen content to an A4 page (landscape) by using the

[FlexJS][MDL] Bind data via bead or classic braces?

2017-07-26 Thread Olaf Krueger
Hi,
I've some problems with the binding:
In the MDL examples, the model is always bound to the component by using the
"ConstantBinding" bead.
Is this the recommended way to bind data or should it also work by using the
classic Flex way, e.g.:

working without any comment
2) In my origin project, the mdl:Table is compiled without problems (for
whatever reason) but I am still not able to populate the mdl:Table with some
data, even by just populating the dataProvider without using binding.

I'd highly appreciate it if you could take a look at my test project [1].
Probably I've overlooked something...

Re: [FlexJS][MDL] Bind data via bead or classic braces?

I'm one step further now:
The table shows one row for each array item.
But each row just contains the string "EventDispatcher" inside the first
column [1].

What I've done so far is:
- Replaced ArrayList by Array
- Set js:Group as root element 
- Remove mdl:Grid
- Remove binding and populate dataProvider of the mdl:Table at
"initComplete"
- Add class .itemRendererUsersTable{} to css that refers to the mxml
ItemRenderer class

But it seems to me that the mdl:Table is still not able to resolve the
ItemRenderer class?

[FlexJS][Docs] Started with some docs using a GitHub repo

2017-08-10 Thread Olaf Krueger
Hi,
I am not an expert in Apache FlexJS but because of the lack of
documentation, I've just started a GitHub wiki [1] with the goal to fill the
gap.
I choose GitHub instead of our Flex wiki cause I think it's easier for
anybody to contribute.

Cause the wiki is brand new it is nearly empty but the plan is to let it
grow day by day.

So, if you're interested in FlexJS a proper way to learn it is to write some
docs for it ;-)))

This repo is not restricted to some collaborators which mean that you don't
need explicit permissions to edit something. You can start right now.
Just click on a link at the sidebar and create or edit some content. You
could also edit the sidebar itself.

Any help is highly appreciated!

Re: FlexPrintJobScaleType doesn't work for me

Hi Alex,
sorry for the late response, I've overlooked your post.
It seems to me that sometimes mails from the list doesn't reach my local
inbox for whatever reason.

>What are you printing?
I am trying to print a s:Group that contains several Spark components
including a Timebar component that comes from Ardisialibs as an external
vendor.


>Debug into addObject and watch the size computation. 
I found that the print job splits the content into a multiple number of
pages if it does not fit the size of the page .
I thought the print job was able to scale the content automatically by using
e.g. 'FlexPrintJobScaleType.FILL_PAGE' to fit the page?
Do I have to scale it by myself before printing?

I've one more issue with transparent components.
If the alpha of a component is <1 that the print job just outputs a black
area.
It seems to me that this is a known issue.
Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks,
Olaf

I just remember this one but it was an issue with AIR I think [1].

Re: FlexPrintJobScaleType doesn't work for me

2017-08-15 Thread Olaf Krueger
I did it as you suggested and create a PDF on the server side instead of
using FlexPrintJob now.

To achieve this I've introduced a new endpoint to my server side API that
expects an image and some metadata. The services scale the image, create a
PDF and returns an url to the created PDF.
Maybe it makes more sense to scale the image at client side...

To be able to pass the image within some meta data via JSON I've encoded the
image as base64.
(This means that the payload increases at approximately 30%, but this no
issue here).

I've created a gist [1], maybe it is helpful for others.

Thanks for the help!

Re: Size of Result Returned From MySQL

2017-08-31 Thread Olaf Krueger
It sounds like you're consuming a web API, so I think it doesn't matter if
there's PHP, MySQL or whatever in the back. The data transferred via http at
the end.
As Javier mentioned the 'content-length' of the response header is probably
the most important value [1].

Maybe it's a good idea to search for some AWS docs which describe how they
calculate the costs.

Re: Size of Result Returned From MySQL

>Yes: in general, never use 1 ton of frameworks if it can be done in 1 line 
of code :) 

I agree with Javier. However, you can go one step further.
If you just have to persist and fetch some data you could also get rid of
PHP.
There are a lot of database cloud services out there that provides a web
API. You could just fetch and persist your data by consuming such a web API.
At the end, you just have to implement some HTTP calls in your AIR app and
you have to convert the payload to your typed AS3 objects. No ZendAMF, PHP,
or whatever else needed!

Call it "MicroServices", "API driven development", "API first" or whatever.
It makes sense to think about it these days... the monolithic approach is
probably dead ;-)

BTW: I highly recommend you to check out also one of the NoSQL databases out
there like CouchDB, MongoDB and others.

HTH,
Olaf

Re: Size of Result Returned From MySQL

>I feel a little foolish...
Sorry for this, there's no need to feel foolish!

> can these web-based API's deliver text as quickly and in as small of file
> sizes as AMF
AMF is probably faster but I think the question is if the better performance
of AMF is significant or relevant.
Do you've already checked your MySQL queries and do you've checked how long
MySQL needs to deliver the requested data? Maybe the database is your bottle
neck.

Assuming that all actors are perfectly optimized regarding performance, the
next question could be if it really makes sense to load this amount of data
to your app with just one request.

Regarding dependencies:
Please remember that ZendAMF is part of ZendFramework1 and it's not
supported anymore.
This is not a problem if it still works with PHP7 and if you are able to
adjust it to make it compatible with future versions if it doesn't work
anymore some day. Just keep it in mind!

If I remember it correctly you're using the FlashBuilder data-centric
development (I never used it).
This could be also a problem if FlashBuilder doesn't work anymore some day
for whatever reason.
FlashBuilder is also not supported anymore.

What I'd like to say is that there's no need to make your app dependent from
those things.
"The whole world" is going with JSON these days... I assume it would work
also for you ;-)

If you'd like to share your DB stuff to discuss some details just do it.

HTH,

Re: [FLEXJS][Marketing] why should a web dev choose FlexJS?

2017-09-18 Thread Olaf Krueger
Hi,
an important thing for me is sustainability.
Every day a new JS framework is born and another dies.
Angular was written from scratch... all who have invested in Angular1 were
lost.
This is not suitable for the enterprise.

My understanding is that FlexJS was built with the experience of over a
decade of Flex development.
So my hope is that the architecture is well-thought-out and future-proof.

If we'll speak about WebAssembly or whatever other targets someday... FlexJS
has the potential to fit for them all... hopefully ;-)

To learn a bit more about the MongoDB ObjectId, maybe this is helpful

Even if it seems that it's not the case for you, maybe this [3] helps to

don't know if it works [4].

There are also some outdated MongoDB AS3 drivers out there [5][6][7][8],
maybe you could use parts of if. I guess [6][7][8] would be very helpful
because they proivide an ObjectId class!

Re: [Demo] Font Awesome 5 with Apache Flex

2018-02-20 Thread Olaf Krueger
Thanks Om and Justin,

after thinking about it a bit more and reading the license links I am not
sure if it is really a good idea to include FontAwesome5 by default within
the Flex SDK:

- We increase the SDK size which is probably not the interest of all users
- We maybe ran into license issues
- We only can ship the free version of FontAwesome5
- The usage of brand ions is unclear
- The usage of FontAwesome5 with Flex is pretty simple, even if it's not
part of the SDK

If we still want to include it (in that way that we store the .*otf font
files in our repo) I think we are save regarding license issues when we just
add a Readme to the project.
Flatspark just includes the SIL [1]. I am not sure if this is enough.

What do you think?

Olaf

[AIR] Font of loaded swf is lost

2018-04-24 Thread Olaf Krueger
Hi,
we're using AIR (captive runtime) here and instead of always deploying the
latest version of our app(s) I'd like to download the latest version as swf
from an internal server 'automatically'.
The idea is to deploy just a shell AIR app one time which will never be
changed.
This app has to load the latest swf(s) on demand from an internal server
which means that the users would have the same experience as with Flash in
the Browser.
No need to manually install anything anymore.

The swf loading at runtime using SWFLoader and URLLoader works like a charm
but the (embedded) fonts of the loaded swf are lost.
I am using the [Embed] tag and thought this makes the fonts part of the swf
[1].

I' am not experienced with this stuff so I guess I am missing something.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Olaf

It's a desktop app (captive runtime), anything written in Flex/AS3.

Because our app is divided into several sub-apps I had the idea to not only
load one main SWF (that holds anything) but rather split each particular app
into a SWF and just load the needed apps (SWFs) on demand... but if I ran
into more problems I maybe should discard this idea..

Life after FlashPlayer, are you prepared?

2018-04-30 Thread Olaf Krueger
Hello from the Apache Royale (FlexJS) team, 

even if Flex with AIR is still an awesome and outstanding technology, Flex 
in the browser ends with the end of FlashPlayer in 2020. 
To be clear: There will be no way to run your Flex apps in current browser 
versions around 2020! 

The Flex mailing lists are followed by a few hundred people and we assume 
that there are still a lot of Flex browser apps out there. 

So, we are really interested in what you are planning to do with your Flex 
apps, e.g. 

- Do you need to stick with the browser at all? 
- Do you plan to migrate your Flex apps to whatever other technology? 
- Did you already migrate your Flex apps to whatever other technology? 
- ... 

If you are reading this post and have a Flex app, please speak up about what 
your plans are! 

Thanks,

"AIR Captive Runtime" the last years...

However, thanks for sharing your thoughts, Petr!

Re: Life after FlashPlayer, are you prepared?

2018-05-04 Thread Olaf Krueger
Hi,
first many thanks to all of you who already replied!

Even if we probably read about most of the popular scenarios how a life
after FlashPlayer could look like I would like to encourage others to speak
up also!
It doesn't matter if your post will be similar to others.

There must be much more than just about 20 Flex coders out there and we
would really like to get an idea of what's going on out there! ;-)

Thanks,
Olaf

Re: Life after FlashPlayer, are you prepared?

2018-05-04 Thread Olaf Krueger
All of our Flex apps here are internal apps, running inside our company
network.
We already moved existing apps to AIR and we still implementing new stuff by
using Flex and AIR.
But we give up monolithic structures and trying even more to split-up our
apps into "simple" modules or sub-applications, separated by its concerns.
We also take care of using just pure AS3 within our business logic.

On the server side, we're going to replace ZendAMF and other PHP services by
NodeJS with Swagger in order to provide a clean, well documented WebAPI
which could be consumed by anybody and anything.
So in the end, each client (implemented by whatever technology) should be
able to consume our WebAPI.

We will target the browser again, but we guess that we won't need nearly the
same features/apps for Web, Desktop or Mobile.
So the idea is to just provide those apps/features for the e.g. browser that
makes sense.

We intend to use Apache Royale in order to target the browser.
If we're doing a good job we "just" have to replace the UI part, we'll see
;-)

We believe in Apache Royale because of its

- sustainability (Is this the right translation for the German word
"Nachhaltigkeit"?)
- independence
- productivity

Even if the productivity is not yet the same as with Flex, it gets better
day by day.

Thanks,
Olaf

Re: [Discussion] Life after FlashPlayer

2018-05-10 Thread Olaf Krueger
Hi,

> I mean, there're lots of issues coming around Flex lately.

What do you mean with issues around Flex?
Adobe has donated the Flex SDK to Apache in 2011 or so, it's open source
and maintained by the Flex community for a long time.


>Here's a nice and precise article i found, that might help to figure some 
>staff. 

Unfortunately, this guy is speaking about the "Flex death" instead of the
"Flex death in the browser".
This blog post is whether accurate written not helpful for others. It only
unsettles people.
Showing the Flex logo in a trash can is an insult to the entire Flex
community which is driven by volunteers.
I hope that the company behind this guy is better at writing software than
blog posts.

Thanks,
Olaf

Re: [Discussion] Life after FlashPlayer

2018-05-14 Thread Olaf Krueger
Hi,

>What frameworks are most people doing Flash-like work in the browser these
days? 

I guess you find particular ideas of the Flex/Flash world at a lot of those
frameworks out there.
Most mentioned are probably Angular and React.


>Is FlexJS a possible way to do this...

First, please notice that FlexJS is now "Apache Royale [1]"!
Any framework out there is "just" an abstraction layer on top of
HTML5/JS/CSS, including "Apache Royale" (Even if Royale targets not only the
browser).
That said, no framework out there is able to provide more features than the
target browsers are able to process.
The only meaning to use such frameworks is to increase productivity... 


> is  FlexJS limited in the components that it can support?  

Apache Royale is designed to provide different component sets.
It provides e.g. a basic component set and e.g. a wrapper around the MDL lib
[2].
Carlos Rovira is currently working on a brand new and very promising
component set which is called "Jewel", very exciting! [3].

Moreover, you should be able to use most of the JS libs out there with
Royale.
"Many other JavaScript frameworks could be made to work with Royale if they
support dynamic instantiation of components." (Taken from the "Apache Royale
Docs" [4])


Hope this helps,
Olaf

Re: [Discussion] Life after FlashPlayer

2018-05-15 Thread Olaf Krueger
Hi,
first sorry for my tone but I was a bit annoyed.
I've no concerns with showing alternatives or introducing other
technologies.
Anyone of us has to take care of being up-to-date and always learning new
stuff.

I noticed that you mentioned the browser in your article but what I still
criticize is that from my perception, you in principle speak about the death
of Flex (e.g. "Or how to deal with Flex death").
And this is just not the truth. If you are not depending on the browser,
Flex is still a valuable technology, as well as for existing projects or new
ones.

So in my opinion, "Flex" has to be replaced with "FlashPlayer" in this
article!

Thanks,
Olaf

Re: Working with DXF Files in Adobe AIR

2018-07-27 Thread Olaf Krueger
Maybe I should add some more words to my last post:
If you don't find an "AS3 DXF converter implementation" out there I guess
you have at least those options:

- Grab one of those libs out there, put it on a server and deliver it
as-a-service
- Grab one of those libs out there, install/deploy it locally and try to
call it from your AIR app
- Consume an external service which is already there

HTH,

Re: Working with DXF Files in Adobe AIR

2018-07-27 Thread Olaf Krueger
>Sounds a long-shot though ;-) 

If you need a starting point on how to provide dxf2svg as a service, maybe
this [1] helps.
This is a simple NodeJS/Restify implementation in order to provide the
"Apache Royale Compiler" as-a-service. The Readme [2] explains how it works.
Notice that the code is just a proof of concept and that it's still work in
progress.

However, I guess you could easily replace the Royale command with the
related dxf2svg command.
Of course, you have to do some more adjustments but in the best case, this
could be done in a couple of minutes ;-)

Loading a module from a module

2018-08-09 Thread Olaf Krueger
Hi,
I'm trying to load a module from a module which itself is already loaded by
a shell app.
But that does not work for me.
What I found is that the module can only be loaded by the "parent" module if
the shell also loads it.

I am not so familiar with modules, so before diving deeper into this stuff
I'd like to know if the described scenario basically should work.

Or do I have to change my thinking? Maybe what I am trying to achieve
doesn't make sense?

Thanks,
Olaf

The module which fails seems to be loaded successfully (throws ready event)
but it throws an error like  
"Could not create module 'MyModule'".

>You may need to learn about child ApplicationDomains
I'll take a look at this!

However, good to know that ist basically should work!
