Breaking up an App into components

I have an App in deployment which displays a dashboard
program divided into several tabs, one tab contains a treemap,
another has four charts, another has one big chart, another has
five dials, etc. etc. currently this is all coded into one big App.
What I want to do now is break this up into either MXML or AS
components so that it will be more managable and more modular. I
want to make a 'shell' master program with the tabs, and then
import the other pieces as modules.
I have managed to separate out one of my most complex pieces
from my original main App, one of the Treemaps, and I want to now
import that as a component of my "shell". Can someone reccomend a
technote or a web page I could look at to learn how to do this? I'd
also like to learn some things like how do you 'talk to' variables
within a particular component that you import in, or is that even
possible?
M.

Is this even the best practice? Should you break an app into
components? Or is it better to just leave it all in one App?
I found this example of using code behind to extent the
ActionScript class, is this the best way to aproach breaking an app
up?

  • Breaking up large Apps into components

    Hello, I have a large application that I need to break up
    into components. I have been trying to find information on how to
    do this, however, to no real avail. My application will have
    components that have states so that when the user selects from the
    menu bar the component state will show. Does anyone know how I can
    get my XMLlist view state to show the external component state when
    selected?
    Thanks

  • Adding a domain user to the admin role within the local user management breaks all metro apps for all users!!

    Hi,
    I have posted this in another large thread under the "Windows 8 General" group but have not had any appropriate feedback from MS.
    After hours of testing and working with other users I have managed to isolate a simple situation that breaks all metro ui applications within Windows 8 for all users on the machine. Here are my exact steps and notes.
    Before continuing if you are running Avast then your solution may be to turn of the behaviour shield functionality as this also breaks metro apps. This is NOT the problem we are having!
    I have performed 3 cleans installs after isolating the problem and am able to reproduce the issue every time using the same steps on two different machines. 
    First thing to say is that for us it has nothing to do with simply joining the domain, domain/group policies nor does it appear to have anything to do with the software we installed, the problem here is much more simple but the result is pretty terrible.
    Here are my exact steps of what I did to reproduce our problem:
    Complete format of HDD in preperation for a clean install
    Clean install performed
    Set up the machine initially with a local account
    Test metro apps - all working fine
    Open control panel from the desktop, click on System, change the system to join the domain, click reboot
    Log into the system using my domain account
    Test metro apps - all working fine
    Here's were the problem starts. I need my domain account to have admin rights on the local machine so I can install programs without the IT men having to come over and enter their password every 5 mins.
    I go to control panel via the desktop and click on User Accounts. From with here I then click on "Manage User Accounts". This requires the IT guys to enter their details to give me access to such functionality. This is fine
    In the dialog box that opens I can only see the local user that was initially created during setup. The "Group" for this local account shows as "Administrators" - Image included below (important to note that metro apps are working at this point)
    I click add and then add my domain account - also giving it administrator access
    Sign off or reboot to ensure the new security is applied
    Sign back in to the domain account
    Test metro - ALL BROKEN
    Sign out
    Sign in as local account
    Test Metro - NOW ALL BROKEN FOR THIS USER ALSO
    So as soon as I add my domain account to the local user accounts and set it as admin it breaks all metro apps for all users. This is on a totally clean install with nothing at all installed other than the OS.
    Annoyingly if I go back and change the domain account to a standard user or if I totally remove the domain account from the local account management system the problem does not go away for either user. basically it is now permanently broken. The only fix I
    could fathom was a full re install and not giving the domain user admin access to the local  machine.
    Screen one - this is the local user accounts window AFTER joining the domain and logging in with my domain account (All metro apps working at this point)
    Screen 2: User accounts AFTER joining the domain and AFTER adding domain account to local user management (METRO BROKEN)
    I have isolated my machine from all group policies so nothing like that is affecting me. Users I have spoken to in different companies have policies that automatically add users to the local user management. This means that metro apps break as
    soon as they join the domain which leads them to wrongly think it is group policies causing the error. Once they isolate themselves from this they can reproduce following my steps.
    Thanks

    Hi Juke,
    Thank you for the response and apologies for the delay in getting back to you. My machine was running a long task so I couldn't try your suggested solution.
    I had already tried running the registry merge suggested at the top of the thread to no avail. I had not tried deleting the OLE key totally so I did that and the problem still exists. I will post all the errors I see in event viewer below. For
    your info, since posting my initial comment I have sent out my steps to 7 different people and we can all reproduce the problem. This comes to 10 different machines (3 of them mine then the other guys) in 3 different businesses / domains. We see the same errors
    in event viewer.
    Under "Windows Logs" --> "Application" : I get two separate error events the first reads "Activation of app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store failed with error: The app didn't start. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional
    information." The second arrives in the log about 15 seconds after the first and reads "App winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store did not launch within its allotted time."
    Under "Windows Logs" --> "System" : I get one error that reads "The server Windows.Store did not register with DCOM within the required timeout."
    Under "Applications And Services Logs" --> "Microsoft" -->  "Windows" --> "Apps" --> "Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational" : I get one error that reads "Activation of the app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store for the
    Windows.Launch contract failed with error: The app didn't start."
    If you require any further information just let me know and I will provide as much as I can.
    Thanks

  • How to organize apps into folders and make them stick in iphone 3gs?

    Four hours down the drain! Darn, I decided to finally learn how to organize my apps into folders and do it right. Instead I spent four hours and must have got it wrong.
    I opened iTunes on my MacBook with my iPhone attached. Then clicked on the iPhone in the left side list of my iTunes. Then clicked on apps which brought up a nice page with all my iPhone apps listed in one window on the left and all the pages of the apps that are on my iPhone in the window on the right. So far this is what I think the User Manual and Help said to do.
    At that point I created new folders by dragging one app over another. For example, I would find a photography app and drag it onto another photography app. That automatically created a folder with the name photography. Just what I wanted. I then looked for more photography apps and dragged them to the folder.
    This is not too easy because I had eight pages of apps. At first, I would grab an app on a page and drag it to where I knew the corresponding folder would be and put it into the folder.
    Later I found another way was to use the list of my apps on the right to put them in apps.
    In the end, from what appeared on the screen, it seemed to me that most of my apps were in folders and the folders were either on page one, two, or three. At that point I thought that I should sync the MacBook with the iPhone, I believe, and did so.
    When the sync was finished I took the iPhone off the computer and looked at it. NONE of the folders I created, nor the organization into folders of the apps were on my iPhone!
    Obviously, I did something wrong since the same mess was on the iPhone as before, with apps all over the place and impossible to locate without taking too much time. This after four hours of work looking at a 13 in. laptop screen!
    What I hope is that someone smarter than me will look at what I did and tell me where I went wrong.
    I want the apps on the iPhone to be organized into logical folders so it is easier to find them. Something along the lines of a good database, you know?
    Thank you for reading to the end of this question,

    OK, I spent another afternoon doing the job started yesterday. Last night (could not sleep, so might as well think) I got to thinking that I really must have missed a step or something because all my work was done on the Mac and I did not recall any time when I transferred the new setup with folders to the iPhone.
    Sure enough, when I tried it today I did find that missing step. When looking at the Home Page of the iPhone or any page being worked on, in the lower right hand corner two buttons say
    SYNC APPLY
    I do not recall using the APPLY button on the first day trying this, but I used it this time.
    After making changes, I hit APPLY and the computer began to sync with the iPhone.
    This time, although there is nothing telling the user what is going on, the sync actually makes the iPhone pages to look exactly like the pages created on the Mac.
    Too bad the instructions and help did not say to do things in this way, which is the only correct way, as far as I can tell.
    I have about 155 apps on the iPhone, making the job extra lengthy. However, I never could do it on the iPhone’s tiny screen, even though it is possible, so this was good - working on the larger screen of the MacBook.
    There are also some (undocumented?) tricks in using the MacBook for this task. For example, it is possible to create a folder and then, using the list of all apps on the iPhone that is on the left side of screen, open the folder, click on the check box next to any app you want to put in the folder and it will jump right in!
    If the check box already has a check mark, just click the box to remove it, click again to put the check mark in the box and voila the app takes off for the folder. This also works to just put apps onto a certain page, if you want to do that, but dragging apps around sometimes works better.
    I hope it will not be necessary to do this again because of the time involved, and he need for quite a bit of thinking on how to move the apps and folders around to get everything just where you want it on the iPhone. The work reminded me of an old kids game that has a small square case with, I guess eleven movable numbers, that are all mixed up, and one space that is not filled with a number. You can move the little squares with the numbers around inside the case to try to line the numbers up in order from 1-11 and do it faster than anybody else.
    Well, unfortunately lining up all my apps was like that because each page of the iPhone only holds 16 folders or apps and each folder is limited to 12 apps. Starting with 155 apps it takes too much mouse maneuvering to make the process easy.
    Finally, the automatic folder names are very broad, as in MUSIC, LIFESTYLE, SPORTS and such, so I often just deleted the given categories and put my in my own. Also, some day I may break down the folders more because twelve apps in one folder means the apps are still pretty much out of view.
    I wrote this in case anyone else finds it and has the same irksome product. If I just reinvented the wheel, please do not tell me now.

  • How to convert Web app into a channel?

    To whom it may concern,
    Does anyone know how to convert a Web app into a channel inside the Portal server 6.0?
    I developed the web app and tried to create a provider and a channel for it, but the Portal server did not recognize the WEB-INF folder and give me errors saying that it couldn't locate the class files.
    I also have a problem with URL inside my jsp page (channel).
    For example, I have two jsp pages:
    /etc/opt/SUNWps/desktop/default/MyCustomProvider/test1.jsp
    /etc/opt/SUNWps/desktop/default/MyCustomProvider/test2.jsp
    and when I try to put a link from test1.jsp to test2.jsp using
    ... and make a channel based on test1.jsp. The channel will display the link as "http://mydomain/portal/test2.jsp" and result in "Error: page not found". I want the link to point to
    /etc/opt/SUNWps/desktop/default/MyCustomProvider/test2.jsp
    To summarize my questions,
    1) Where should the web app be located in the Portal server?
    2) How to make a link inside one jsp page (channel) to point to another page inside the same folder?
    Thank you in advance

    Hello Karthik,
    I just tried to solve my problem with your suggestions, unfortunately, my JSP channel still doesn't work :(
    The portal server keeps reporting "Server Error..." when I tried to add query at the end of the href.
    Do you still have any other suggestions?
    Thank you

  • I can't download any app into my iPAD, but I have no problem downloading app into my iPhone. Using same Apple ID for both my iPAD and iPhone.

    HELP!
    I couldn't download any app into my iPAD. Puzzled by this strange condition, I tried downloading the same chosen app into my iPhone. It worked!
    I use the same Apple ID for both my iPAD and iPhone. So why is it not working for my iPad? Previously, both devices were working fine!
    I hope that somebody can help me solve this problem.

    Do the apps show as installed on the Purchased tab in the App Store app ? If they show as installed, then have you got any restrictions set on Settings > General > Restrictions (e.g. Allowed Content > Apps) that might be hiding them ?
    You could try closing the App Store app completely and then seeing if it downloads after you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e.not with the App Store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    You could also try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    And try logging out, and then back in, with your iTunes account : Settings > Store

  • Is it possible to download ÿōür purchased app into ÿōür other device by signing in iTunes?

    Is it possible to download ÿōür purchased app into ÿōür other device by signing in iTunes?

    yes. But I would recomend using Icloud. If you have purchaed the app or ownloaded it you can serch it on any of your other devices app store and you will se a different icon where the download button is  suposed to go. Like a cloud. Click it and you will get it.

  • Trying to discard an app into TRASH and I receive a message that "app cannot be removed because it is locked."  How can I unlock an app???

    Trying to discard an app into TRASH and I receive a message that "app cannot be removed because it is locked."  How can I unlock an app???

    Something may have corrupted your User account permissions. Whatever it was that did that is likely to do it again, and will require further investigation.
    To reset your User account permissions perform the following. It may not fix the problem but it will not make it any worse:
    Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac.
    When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities > Terminal.
    In the Terminal window type resetpassword and press Enter. A window will open behind Terminal that looks like this:
    Do not enter a new password.
    Select your startup volume at the top. From the dropdown below it, select the user account with the problem.
    At the bottom of the window, you will see Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs.
    Click the Reset button.
    Quit Reset Password
    Quit Terminal
    Quit OS X Utilities and restart your Mac.
    Back up your system before doing anything else because disk corruption is another possibility that has to be considered.

  • "Save as PDF" breaks up the document into multiple PDFs

    Ever since my Lion install, when I open a doc in MSWord and try to "Save as PDF", it breaks up the document into multiple PDFs, not one saved PDF. Haven't seen this problem before. Anyone else experiencing this new "feature"?

    What version of Word?  It's working fine with my Word 2011 on Lion.  (version 14.1.2.  Applied SP1 and the .2 update.)
    A workaround would be to print, then select the PDF dropdown in the lower corner of the print window.
    Otherwise, you'll probably want to ask in the Microsoft forums, as Save As is using Word's programming code, not OSX's code like it does with the print function.

  • Breaking up the weblogs into different categories

    It will be really nice to break up the weblogs into different categories based on technical areas(kind of like forum but not that many categories). There could be one category where all the general discussion weblog could be posted. I think this will generate more traffic towards weblogs. Right now lot of the technical weblogs are getting lost among the general content. Just a suggestion. Love to hear back from SDN members.

    Hi Sing,
    Once in a while this request comes up and I have the same reaction as Craig has. It's there, just select Topics and every one of them has it's own page.
    For example here is the EP page:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/weblogs.sdn?blog=/weblogs/topic/22
    Your latest Weblog still on top although there were many other posts on the most recent weblogs page.
    It makes me think how we could better make it available to people. The weblogs as well as the link on the main EP page is directly to this page.
    Not sure what else can be done, besides a Weblog pointing it out again.
    Best, Mark.

  • When I capture from tape, express 4 now breaks my captured material into separate shots, an icon in the browser for each. Before it captured the whole clip till I hit escape, and created just one Icon. How to i get back the way it was.

    When I capture material from tape with final cut express 4, it used to create one icon for the whole clip. Now, when i capture, it breakes  the material down into many browser icons, shot by shot. I dont want that. How to I return to what I ahd before/

    What you describe is normal behavior for HDV capture using FCE.
    DV captures as one clip or may split the clip if there are timecode breaks on the tape.
    HDV always breaks clips at the shot changes using FCE.
    HDV cameras can downconvert to DV even if HDV was used to record the footage so it's important to know what the camera outputs during FCE capture.
    Maybe this is why you have had mixed results with the differing capture windows?

  • Spent an hour organizing my apps into folders and the iPad undid it all!?!?

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue? I was very excited to finally be able to organize my apps into folders as I had tons of them and they wretched to navigate. I spent a long time getting them all set and where I wanted them and down to 2 pages total. I plugged the iPad in to charge using a wall charger (the one it came with) and 3 hours later the folders were all gone! I found this to be incredibly frustrating and among the worst experiences I've had with an apple product. My iPhone 4 certainly did not dump all its folders...

    There is a secret as to why you are losing your folder arrangements.
    They can automatically unpack on a sync.
    We should all know there are screens off to the right of the valid eleven home pages. If your last page is full of icons and you inadvertently add another something is shoved off to the right. If you move home screens around using iTunes this also happens.
    If any icon filled with apps falls off to the right it will unpack and make a mess. If you move a home page filled with folders which are filled with icons around you can lose them all as they will unpack when you sync to iTunes.
    The best choice is to take the right most page and *MAKE SURE NO FOLDERS ARE EVER IN THE RIGHT MOST PAGE*. That gives you safety room from inadvertently scooting one or more folders into higher number screens. I place a few standard apps in the right most page to hold it in place.
    *CREATING FOLDERS*
    Second you are safer building your folders on the device itself. To do this I move everything off the bottom bar and use it as a placeholder (bus)to shuttle apps around as I figure out what group they should be added to. I have over 800 apps in 22 GB on the iPad now. Things are well organized and nice looking when scanning the home pages.
    When setting it up I just added all the apps at once. Then as I made room on the home screens I paused made sure my 'bus' was empty, then shut down the iPad to power off and back on again. This cleans up memory and on reboot the iPad will add as many of the hidden apps to the space on your eleven home pages. There after it became a session of rinse and repeat until all the apps I wanted where filed away and arranged.
    Use meaningful folder names.
    *Apps from *****
    There are some real junk apps that some how I managed to grab in the past. Others are surpassed by obviously more powerful and functional apps that have recently appeared so there is no sense in keeping them. If you delete them off the iPad they will reappear on the next sync unless you delete them from iTunes.
    How do you remember to delete them from iTunes too? When I get to the delete confirmation screen I take a screenshot which is stored in my Photos roll. Then I browse that roll while before the computer and find each app that needs to be permanently deleted. After deleting it from the PC I then delete the reminder picture from the iPad.

  • Breaking a long clip into 'sub-clips'

    So, I have a long clip that I've imported from, say a single long shot at an event.  I want to break that clip up into what used to be subclips.  I want to be able to treat those subclips as if they were clips - I want to be able to give them names, organize them in folders and I want to be able to drag them onto the timeline.
    My question is, how does Apple think we should be doing this?  The way that I see recommended around the web is:
    Select your 'master' clip. 
    Set In and Out points.
    Bring up the keyword editor.
    Enter a new keyword for that 'subclip'
    Doing this allows you to organize each 'subclip' by the keyword that's assigned to it and, by 'expanding' the master clip in the clip window, you can see the subclips/keywords in that master clip and you can drag them onto the timeline.
    There are big issues with this, however. 
    There is no easy way to organize these subclips.  Lets say I make 40 subclips (keywords) from a master clip.  I then organize them into folders, 20 per folder, according to how I want them grouped. When I select a folder, I see a list of 20 clips - all named the same ... they are all named after the master clip!  I have no way of telling which clip is which without individully exanding each clip!  I could go back to the actual master clip by looking at it under the Event and exanding the master clip to see the list of all the 'keywords' - but then I have no way of orgainizing them - they're all just under that master clip.
    What I want is not a 'keyword' - which is essentially a reusable identifier, used in this work-around as a single-use identfier - but a way of making parts of a master clip funtionally equivalent to the original master clip.  Just because I shot some things in one take - especially with event videography - that doesn't mean I want them grouped together for editing.  As far as I can see, there is no way to dissociate these subclips from the original master clip for the purposes of working with them.
    This is basic functionality ... so am I missing something?  What is the non-workaround way of doing this?
    Here is another explanation of the issue by a kindly blogger:

    Well, the difference is you can't do anything, like drag to the timeline or scrub, with the names in the library pane, only in the clips pane. 
    But you're right, that does suggest an improvement over using the folder to reveal the (sub)clips in the clip pane.  I could drag the library pane as wide as possible so I can see as much of the 'subclip names'/'keyword collection names' as possible.  Then expand the folder I want in the library pane, revealing those names.  Then I click on the subclip/keyword I want, which reveals the (sub)clip in the clips pane. I can then drag it to the timeline or scrub it etc there.  That's probably also an improvement over expanding the master clip in the clips pane, though still a right hacky pain.
    I really don't think that being able to create subclips is an either/or with keywords.  They fullfill different needs.  Keywords do what they do well, but we still need the ability to create subclips, both from a logical workflow point of view and from a practical point of view, given how inconvenient this hack with keywords is.  It should be 5 step process ...
    1. You shoot your video, stopping and starting how it suits you at the during the shoot.
    2. You import the video.
    3. You break it up into clips for editing convenience.
    4. You label and group and fine tune those clips with the keywording system.
    5. You edit.
    The ability to non-hackily do Step 3 is missing in Final Cut Pro X, it seems.

    I am working on a book in the book module of Lightroom. When I started, I didn't realize that there was a page limit of 240 pages. I am going to need to break this book up into two books now. Is there a way to take pages from one book to start a second book without having to "redo" the pages again in the new book?
