Building Topology Diagrams in Flex 2

Hi All,
I want to build a topology diagram in Flex 2. Is it possible? I wanna have a set of images which cud be drag - drop enabled. I should be able to link the different nodes in the hierarchy based on its status with Arrows(different kinds). And each node(represented by diff images) will have its own set of properties (could be referred from the database.). How do i go about doing this. Awaiting your suggestions and possible links to such existing prototypes.
Thank you

Hi grace,
I want to build topology diagrams in Flex 2. Is it possible? Are there any prototypes like TWaver built on Flex 2? Twaver is built on Flex 3 and i cant use it on Flex Builder 2....
P.S: I dont have Flex 3 SDK or Flex Builder 3 and i cant even avail it any time sooner.

Building Diagrams in Flex

Hi,
I want to represent nodes in an XML document in a diagram similar to a class diagram.
So for example I would have a root node and its child nodes linked to it.
Are there any libraries that already do this or would anyone have any pointers?
Thanks

Building/editing topology diagrams - any ideas/advice?

Hi,
I'd like to build a web application that is capable of displaying & editing topology diagram (e.g. a network diagram with applications too). Effectively to have a graphically web based means of allowing a user to add nodes & relationships to represent a topology such as the following [http://performancepointinsider.com/files/planning/planningtopology.png|http://performancepointinsider.com/files/planning/planningtopology.png] . So the model basically consists of nodes and relationships.
Any ideas/advice on how best to do this, e.g.:
Q1. Any open-source project that does something similar?
Q2. Best way of handling the graphical aspect of the application?
(e.g. prototype, extjs, etc?)
Thanks

L3 topology diagram with a large number of networks

I am working on redesigning a network that is using a single class B network for there LAN workstations and servers. I proposed for them to separate the two and put all of their servers into one class C network and the workstation in another class C. They stated that they wanted 14 separate networks for the workstations, different for section of the building, and 28 for the servers. The reason for the 28 is due to the fact they didn't keep track of how they used their address space and they do not want to renumber servers due to firewall rules. I have 50 networks hanging off of the collapsed core switch "WS-C6513-E" and finding room for all of these network is quite difficult. Does anyone have any experience with creating network topology diagrams with a large amount of networks hanging off of one device? I have attached a doc of what I have done.

Sorry, you did say that in the last bit of your first post.
Last time i was doing topology diagrams i believe Visio had a pop up function where you could click over it but obviously if you are printing them out that does no good.
Unless you can summarise them to one entry with a note of how many subnets are being used within the summary i can't think of a way to do it. You could match the vlan number to the subnet (which you have partly done) and then just list the vlan numbers with the network prefix and make a note the subnet is derived from the vlan number.

Topology diagram of installed agents on grid control

Hi,
Can anyone help. I have grid control with a number of clients (agents) installed. Does anyone know of a way to get a topology diagram out of grid which shows all the connected systems.
regards
Alan

Hi Alan,
You might find the following post is helpful. That's a introduction for a tool to show topology diagram for Oracle Application Server. FYI.

Extension Builder 3 and AS3/Flex

Just a short question, to be sure:
Extension Builder 3 will NOT support AS3/Flex but only "HTML5 Techniques"? In other words: Everything we/paid subcontractors have build can be thrown in to the trash an be build again to work with Creative Suite CC?

Bingo! :-) Adobe knows how to piss of 3rd party developers.
But it's actually not that simple. You can't just convert everything to HTML 5 and be "happy". If you want to support older creative suite versions (CS6 / CS5) you additionally have to build it in AS3 / FLEX since they don't support the new HTML 5 technology.
Double strike, pain in the *** for all of us, at least for the next 2 years until everybody converted to the new CC philosophy.

Problem with "Building interactive maps with Flex" example

I have been looking at the tutorial by Matt Sheehan Building interactive maps with Flex found at
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/interactive_maps.edu.html
I have downloaded Flash Builder 4.6 trial version and followed the example. I have also copied the source code from the example and pasted that into the file mymodestmap.mxml.
In both cases the application opens a new page in Google Chrome but does not display any map data.
No errors or warnings are displayed when I run the code from Flash Builder.
Although I have got plenty of experience of writing software, I am a total beginner when it comes to developing web applications!
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong, I have attached the source below.
Cheers
Steve

Technically, it's Javascript, not Java :) TOTALLY different beasts. I wish they'd never named it Javascript, it's ambiguous. So anyway, on to the point of the whole thing...
If you want quotes in your values, you'll need to write a function to replace " with \", and pass the values through it. So instead of javascript:passBack('#ENAME#','#JOB#','#SAL#'); you would have javascript:passBack(addslashes('#ENAME#'),addslashes('#JOB#'),addslashes('#SAL#'));. That would mean that ABC"DEF"GH would be passed to the function as ABC\"DEF\"GH and your quotes would stay intact. Search around on the internet for more specifics as to how to pass double quotes in javascript by using backslashes.

Topology diagrams - advice on doing this type of work?

I'm considering a contract position where I'd be doing topology diagrams and maps..Can anyone who has done or is doing this type of work offer any suggestions/advice for making this work go well?
And I'm thinking along the lines of maybe...re-useable geometry...I suppose swatching for colors and styles for objects...just thinking out loud here..
I'm sure that after awhile, I'll develop my own work patterns for this..might be nice to see if anyone has any "tips and tricks" to share.
Thank you!
John

jdanek;
well I resonate with your questions...so far, I don't have all the granular details, but I have to think that I'll be given some standards, and I know that I will produce this art from supplied sketches.
I did google this and found that the spectrum went from playful/whimsical (think: kid's textbook) to the more serious and accurate, just a few steps short of full-on cartography.
I don't yet know where this client falls on that spectrum.
Probably be a good idea for me to develop a list of questions for them, maybe request some links so that I can see what ball park I'll be working in.
thank you!

Design and save workflow diagrams using flex

Hi,
I am new to flex..I need to design a workflow diagrams using flex and save the information..Could you please help me on this..
Actually what exactly i want is..
In my project we have some jobs..Job is bunch of scripts..These jobs will run in different hosts(Server).In my project we have a provision to run these jobs in order in different hosts.But not for running the scripts in perticular sequence.
For example::
We have a,b,c,d,e,f jobs..
1) these jobs run in order if we select one check box.This provision is there.Order means after a runs b should run.after b is done c should run and so on..
2) there is another senario like.
After a job runs b,c should run parallel and these 2 are done d shold run..after it is done e,f,g shold run paralell..some thing like this..This is a sequence of scripts running in different hosts..For this we nned to desing a UI like work flow diagram.
In UI we show all jobs in data grid and user will drag the jobs and keep it an area and he connects all the jobs with some lines with arrow(to identify).There he should conncects the jobs in which sequence he wants to run the jobs.
For this need to design a diagram and save the data in the UI.From UI we have to capture the sequence of jobs and store the sequence in db..
Colud you plz provide me soltion for this..I am getting how to draw a flow diagram using flex and capture the sequence from UI and store the data in DB..
Please help me out in this issue..
Thanks in advance...

I am trying to create an image file with flex and want to save it only in a perticular directory ie., user should not be given any option to choose the location.Air application uses resolvePath where we can specify the path but donno how this can be achieved for a web-based application.
Is there any workaround for this?
Thanks.

Please give me some examples of video chat with adobe flash builder 4 or adobe flex 3.5

I'm a newbie for flex. I had a project from my college to made a video chat application using Adobe Flash Builder 4 and used Red5. please help me, give me some examples of video chat source code, so that i may to learn it. thanks a lot friends.

As you are starting at the beginning you may as well start with FB4. When you install FB4 you will find that its start page has links to documentation tutorials and examples through the tour-de-flex. There are some great blogs that continue to offer advice and examples, nothing beats well written examples for learning. If you are on face book there is an Adobe Flex page that is continually giving links to examples and information about e-seminars.
And of course there is here. So jump on board and have a bit of fun.

FLEX Builder Pro 3 New Flex Project cannot configure J2EE

I have FLEX Builder Pro 3 installed on a Windows XP machine. LiveCycle Data Services is installed (with Tomcat) on a Linux RHEL 5 machine. When trying to create a new FLEX project and configuring a J2EE server am very confused on what to put in Root Folder and Root URL. I have tried various paths on the Root Folder (with a drive mapped through windows and also with just using the servername) and keep getting the error message:
Invalid root. The WEB-INF/flex folder must contain either flex-config.xml or services-config.xml.
I've located the flex-confing file in the tomcat5\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF directory, but still get the error.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are your new classes referenced from the old code? Mxmlc employs a questionable form of "as-needed" linking, so classes that are not referenced from the main application are not even compiled. This referencing requirement is recursive; that is, any classes that are to be included have to be referenced from the main application, or from classes referenced by the main application, or from classes referenced by classes referenced by the main application, and so on. But if your new classes are not referenced at all from the old code, they will be ignored.

Will Flash Builder 4.7 supports Flex 3.5 SDK

Does Flash Builder 4.7 Premium supports using Flex SDK 3.5 version. I have an existing application build on Flex SDK 3.5. Can I use FLash Builder 4.7 to make any enhancements on this existing application?

An AIR app is not just a SWF, but also its –app.xml file and then is usually packaged into a .AIR file. Just launching the SWF won’t work as it usually launches FlashPlayer which does not have AIR APIs.

Flash Builder 4.5: debugging Flex Mobile application on Android Virtual Device

Hi,
we are trying without success to debug a flex mobile application in Flash Builder 4.5 on an Android Virtual Device (AVD).
We can debug with real Android devices via Flash Builder 4.5, by using a standard Mobile Application debug configuration with "On device" launch method, but emulated devices are not listed in the "Choose device" Flash Builder 4.5 window.
The emulated device is correctly listed by "adb" command line tool, as the following screenshot shows:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\sdks\4.5.0\lib\android\bin\adb" devices
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 device
("emulator-5554" has been created and started with Android AVD Manager standard Eclipse plug-in)
By using the adb command-line tool we can also install applications on the emulated device, but we'd like to use Flash Builder 4.5 directly, without manually using adb.
Many thanks in advance for any direction.
PS: we can debug with Flash Builder "internal" android emulator (the one used with "On desktop" launch method), but we want to use the more "realistics" android emulated devices provided by Android SDK (Android Virtual Device (AVD)).

well that's just ... oh what's the word I'm looking for? ... um ... ah yes - inconvenient.
I've been wrestling with this too. I use VDs with eclipse all the time, I'm wondering why it's not supported in flashbuilder. I mean, it's just a VD that runs on a virtual port, plugs into the editor like a read device would - right?
I'm going to take a wild stab at this and say it probably has something to do with running a program inside (Air) a virtual machine, running inside a virtual machine inside a virtual device?

keep in mind the is a new project targeting the 4.5 SDK in Flash Builder 4.0. I have done nothing but create the project.
If I create the project with 4.1 SDK in Flash Builder 4.0, there are no issues.
Can someone confirm this is an issue with using 4.5 in FB 4.0 or share a solution to resolving the issues?
Thank you.

Can you create a simple project that demonstrates this?

Regarding building (ant) and debugging Flex components (Flex Builder)

I am fairly new to graniteds + flex. The example articles on graniteds and blazeds use two separate applications i.e., using mxml components and actionscripts in another project. Why is this done so?
It was hard to build the swf files in a separate project as the antscript needed something more.
<mxmlc....>
<source-path path-element="${basedir}/src"/>
</mxmlc ..>
The source here is the actual java source code. Unless I had the two projects together, I could not build the swf files. However, once I convert this one application to a java project, as flex project does not recognize java source code, I can no longer debug my flex screens. Am I missing something here?
Help
Krishna

No suggestions yet?
Could someone tell me if I could integrate these in one place atleast, if so how do we configure the application to be able to debug Flex applications?
Thanks
Krishna
