Discontinue the Spry Framework

In response to http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framework-availability.htm l#comment-1826
I must express my DEEPEST DISAPPOINTMENT with Adobe for such a dis heartening move to discontiue this framework.
I have been using Adobe Spry Framework from inception and found the capabilities of at least the DataSet Object frameworks to be the most easiet, fast, effective implementation of frameworks when it comes to dealing with data/ external data display and manipulation EVER. It has been the goto framework for almost ALL of my data driven web applications and has proven to me to be BY FAR a superior advantage over using any MVC or another Ajax based framework that I have encountered.
To learn of its discontinuation after years of hope and promise of futher development of the framework with such a huge potential is really heart wrenching. I do hope that someone else will take up the regins to which Adobe has so cowardly let go of and continue to progress this framework into a new aged design specimen that it should be.
I personally though lacking in the extensive knowledge of the frameworks inner workings and expreience in javascript or framework development for that matter...will be one to TRY to develop it as much as I can. But will lend ANY SUPPORT that I can as limited only by my knowledge and experience to futher the success of this framework to any lengths to make it as great as it has always been and could be.
Sincerest Ice.
LONG LIVE SPRY FRAMEWORK

Thank you, Ben. This was the information that I needed.
Alas, I don't follow this forum specifically, although, I do lurk now and then to get answers to specific questions.
Re the shake issue. Gosh, I guess I fixed it and never came back (my apologies) or the whole thing went a different direction. It's been so long.
Thanks, again.

Welcome to the Spry framework for Ajax Forum

Welcome to the Spry framework for Ajax forum! Please use this
forum to discuss the Spry framework for Ajax and supporting content
on Adobe Labs.

Hi,
Techy_one: the download page should be working:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_spry
anuj: SpryEffects is in 'demo/includes'. We will be including
effects in our next Spry drop.
Severe: We are working on more widgets. They will be released
over time as we finish them. We are still looking into how we can
make Spry support for DW available.
Thanks,

Do I need to download the Spry Framework?

I do have Dreamweaver CS4 and it includes the latest Spry ( Spry v1.6). Do I need to download the Spry Framework? Or is everything I need pre installed with DW CS4 ? I watched a Lynda.com video where the instructor downloaded Spry. Will the Spry functions work through DW even if I do not download the actual Spry Framework? Or does the download just give me expanded features?
Thanks Jim K

Hi
The spry framework is built into cs4, and you do not need to download it.
PZ
Some parts of Spry are build in to CS4. Not all functionality is included in DW. For example, the Spry Rating, autoSuggest, slidingpanels are not in DW and can only be found in the full Spry download.
Also other data formats like JSON, nested JSON, nested XML, tsv and csv support is not build in. And last but not least there are allot of Spry utitlies not build in to Dreamweaver. Its save to say that 50% of Spry has been integrated in to DW. The rest of the more advanced functionality can only be found the complete download.

Is the Spry Framework still under development by Adobe?

I'm in a position where I have to skinny down the number of JS libraries we employ at work. I'm personally a fan of Spry and would prefer to keep it around as it has some unique and valuable characteristics. But, I'm sure my boss is going to ask if this particular library is still being maintained and developed and by who. So, I'm looking for an answer to that question so that I can justify keeping it.

Help with Spry Framework positioning not appearing correctly on pc's

I just created a gallery using the spry framework and finally got it working for me on all the browsers I have on my Mac. The problem is that on my clien'ts pc the gallery div tags end up moving up to the upper left corner and I'm not sure why. They are ap div tags that are supposed to be contained in my main content div and I'm at a lost as to why this is happening. I'm not the best at working directly with code or understanding it fully, usually do most everything with dreamweaver. I appreciate any help that you can give me and thanks for your time.
the site page is here: http://www.montanacraneservice.com/ppcanopylift/ppcanopylift.htm

Do you know what browsers are failing?
Seems to work on FF, IE6 and 8...

Spry framework interoperability with ATLAS

Hi.
I’m trying to use the spry framework with MS ASP.NET
and the ATLAST AJAX framework. I’m trying to port the photo
album demo pages. However when ever I add
<atlas:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"
/> tag into the code all the spry:region / spry:repeat tags
doesn’t seem to work. Has anyone observed this behavior
before. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Code sample is shown
below
Thanks

Hi Bhathiya,
We haven't yet done the slightest testing with Spry and
Atlas together.
Seeing runat="server" on a client side library makes me
wonder what the final output of the page is.
I will log a bug on this and we can check it out.
Thanks for the info.

Trying to learn Spry Framework Ajax

So I am trying to learn how to use Spry Framwork for Ajax;
which I downloaded from
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/
Does anyone know if this some how plugs into Dreamweaver 8 or
if I wish to use it, "the Photo Gallery to be specific", that I
have to manually manipulate the code to use my photos and then
implement their html into my template?

With DW8, you will have to use the Spry Framework manually.
It's built into
the new Dreamweaver CS3.

Looking to add animation to the spry tabbed panels

SO I was wondering if there's any way to add a fade in/out to
the content panel on the spry tabbed panels, whenever you click a
new tab, have that content fade in or do some other kind of effect
that adobe supports through the spry framework.
I've already looked at the adobe labs documentation, and I
can only find effect modifications for the accordion panels.
Any help would be great!
Matt

I have a simple solution posted on my blog:

Hope this helps.

Is Spry Framework discontinued or not?

Last Adobe's message is 30 April 2010, after… nothing to nothing
I have understand ajax/html5 are enemies of the Flash technology but please send us a clear message… Spry is discontinued or not?

Adobe always been a closed company when it comes to releases of products.
The same practise is applied to the Adobe Spry Framework. They did release
Spry 1.7 a while ago, but the developer adoption of this is rather slow. I have been
using Spry 1.7 in production for a few months now. And created a few widgets for it
. It works great, but Spry 1.6.1 is still the shipping version of Dreamweaver.
The Spry team actually consists of Dreamweaver core developers, so there focus
is not only Spry, but also Dreamweaver and the intergration of other libraries in to
Dreamweaver.
Idealy Spry should have been open sourced so developers can submit patches and
speed up the development of framework. But because Spry is also a product of
Dreamweaver this would mean that they are actually "selling" the code. I still have
hopes of this happening in terms of CLA for contributors.
Anyways, I doubt Spry is dead.. They are just having a radio silence

How can I insert an existing ApDiv into a tab in the Spry Tabbed Panel?

I have 5 of them all containing nested Apdiv within nested ApDivs (a long storie ) that I would like to insert into 5 tabs in the Spry Tabbed Panel.
Please help.

"Hi Gramp,I realize I have made hard work for myself but I really don't know any better. I also realize now that taking on this project may have been a mistake :-)I taught myself how to use the design side of Dream Weaver. These five ApDivs were created in the content area of the spry tool and it worked fine. (yes a lot of work though)For the first time I looked at the code side. I wanted to try to bring a peace of code from another page for something unrelated and when it didn't work I took it out and without noticing, deleting a line from the Spry tool.Of course like a classic newbe I was working without a backup copy so here I am. Loosing hours of tedious work and on the verve of tears :-)I do have some questions though. My APDiv
What does "apDiv1" stands for and what does "My APDiv" stands for?Is the only thing I have to do is changing this line for my five ApDivs and paste it in the appropriate places in the code? Thanks again,Gilaad

You have really made hard work for yourself by using APDiv's. I suppose it can be done, but I would not. To answer your question, I have create an example as per#apDiv1

I colored the spry menu, but it's not showing up in preview.

I changed the color of my spry menu from beige to black. It shows up on my work page, but when I try to preview it, it's as if I had never changed the color. I also tried going to the page through Firefox, but it's not showing up there either. The code says the background of the menu is #000, One the design panels it says the background color is #000 as well. Can someone tell me what I'm missing that is making the spry menu stay at the default color?

Not a good option unfortunately.
"allow multiple consecutive spaces" is an old option in DW which should be discontinued. It simply inserts multiple non-breaking spaces when you press the spacebar.
It's ugly, and unpredictable since it depends on font sizes, browser text sizing etc.
Better to use CSS

Integrating Spry Framework with SWFObject

I'm trying to incorporate a SWFObject into my Spry
Framework-HTML page. I want to update the
flashvars when the user clicks on a given
ds_RowNumber for the Product Catalog. However, I'm having
trouble passing the
flashvars:
window.document.setVariable("flashVars","data/mp3/frw/2006/playlist.xml"
so.write("flashcontent");
Since this isn't having any effect on flashVars, I'm guessing
I'm not implementing it correctly?
Thanks,
stephenwightman

stephenwightman, are you testing this in IE? There is a
bug/issue with Spry, FlashVars and IE, where FlashVars do not get
passed when a SWF is inside a spry:region. This occurs whether
using SWFObject or the default embeds for your SWF. I have not
heard any thoughts from the Adobe Spry Team on how to get around
this. See some of my previous posts on this:
