My app takes advantage of the built-in support for SQLite which comes with the AIR runtime. There's just a .db file stored on the user's machine where the data is at.
I built it using Cairngorm so it'd be really easy to modify the service to communicate with a server rather than SQLite Jake Churchill CF Webtools 11204 Davenport, Ste. 100 Omaha, NE 68154 <http://www.cfwebtools.com> http://www.cfwebtools.com 402-408-3733 x103 From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of joyfulrodger Sent: Monday, August 03, 2009 10:01 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex scheduler application Jake, Thanks for your reply. What I was thinking of doing was passing the clients time from flex to coldfusion, working out the time difference between the client computer and my coldfusion server and then storing both the reminder time with the offset from my server time. Then when my reminder script runs it will work out the selected reminder time. But as you say this may be an issue with the DST. I really like your scheduler though. As a small app it works well. I have yet to try using air. Does the application communicate with a database on your server? Do you use any backend technology like coldfusion etc? I would be interested in seeing your code for interests sake if you wouldn't mind? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Jake Churchill" <j...@...> wrote: > > It will use whatever the client computer's current date/time is.
