Flex 3 in a Week vs. Flex 4 in a Week

Comparing Flex 3 in a week and Flex 4 in a week video tutorials is easy to verify that some important subjects were left out, while another important where introduced. Bellow there are a list of some important subjects of Flex 3 tutorial left out in Flex 4 tutorial:
Using XML with E4X
Creating SWC components (static and RSL)
Using Shared Objects
Localization using resource bundles
Splitting your application into modules
Are the contents of the subjects mentioned above covered only in Flex 3 tutorial?
Are the contents of these subjects compatible with the new features of Flex 4?
Best regards,

Hi Deepa,
You confirmed my suspects. I will study the complementary topics in "Flex 3 in a Week" video tutorial series.
Thanks a lot,

  • Flex in a week: error Could not resolve s:Application to a component implementation

    Hi All, I've seen other posts mentioning this error but seems no fix has come up.
    Was just trying out the example project for Flex in a Week and out of the box am stuck on
    " Could not resolve <s:Application> to a component implementation "
    the namespace and all expected attributes are in the s:Application tag.
    Is there a common fix for using these samples?
    thanks everyone for your consideration.

    Thanks, I am using Flex Builder 3.

  • Flex Week 2 :)

    Flex in a Week covered a lot of the basic steps which were helpful.  Any chance of a sequel? covering missed topics or intermediate/advanced stuff...you can call it Flex Week 2 or something

    e2dev,
    I did create a component MyLoginPanel and dispatch the login information back to the main application for evaluation.
    However after vaidation when I try to do something like   
    <s:Fade target="{MyLoginPanel.login}"/>  it does not work - I can not access that login panel to fade or apply any transition.
    I know I'm missing something and I'm desperate for some explanation how to structure and access the code.

  • Flex in a week training

    Hi Folks,
    I installed Adobe Media player and am trying to go through the flex in a week training.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining/
    using the rss feed at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining/
    But at times when I am trying to open up a video it starts and then within seconds stops....(for example Video 3 Flex Builder Workspace and project is supposed to be 7+ minutes but does not start)
    How can I down load the video again ?
    Maybe it has not downloaded fully ? (though the icon shows up as the "downloaded and ready to play" breen down arrow with a cd behind)
    Appreciate any guidance !
    Regards,

    Try removing then reinstalling the media player. Also your download may be corrupted..

    Hey,
      I googled your problem and it could be a couple of things with the code for the exercise pages depending on your version of IE. What version of IE do you have?
    An easy fix might be to try a different browser such as Firefox or Chrome or you could try using  a proxy site such as http://www.liveoxy.com/ to open the exercises.

    Ok. The formula didn't have to be that fancy after all. We can use COUNT to count the number of entries, then use INDEX to return the corresponding entry.
    If the actual weights are in column B and goal weight in E2, then in D2 enter this formula:
    =E2-INDEX(B,COUNT(B),1)
    So, a couple caveats:
    1) Must start entering the weights in the top body cell (whether table has header or not, see below).
    2) Column B cannot have any extraneous numbers (this will throw the count of entries off).

    If you are actually using Numbers '09 and the table has headers, then for some reason the formula is slightly different depending on how many header cells are in column B. E.g. if one header, then enter =INDEX(B,COUNT(B)+1,1); if two headers, then enter =INDEX(B,COUNT(B)+2,1); Or, simply enter =INDEX(B,COUNT(B)+ROW(B)-1,1), which adjusts to whatever number of header cells.

  • Flex 3/4 Initialization Timing Changes?

    Hi there.  This isn't end-of-the-world critical, but I'm trying to better understand what's going on here.
    We have a relatively large and complex business app (several hundred classes split into a core application framework plus multiple dynamically-loaded product modules), originally written in Flex 3.2.  As part of our new release, we are taking the chance to port it over to Flex 4.5; I've spent the past week doing so.  We're continuing to use the Halo theme for the time being, to minimize the initial disruption.
    I've pretty much gotten it working, but I'm still trying to understand the key behaviour change that I've observed.  A lot of our code is failing at initialization time.  I'm still nailing down exactly what's different, but the most obvious bit is that it seems like, in commitProperties(), properties that refer to other objects in the same parent don't exist yet, where they previously did.  So I'm getting null pointer exceptions where I wasn't previously.
    Similarly, I have a few objects where the property refers to the object itself.  They're graphing objects, which have a property that describes how to set up the dataFunction.  This property is typically set to one of several functions available on the object.  So graph "foo" would set this function to "foo.useDateForY" or some such, using one of these utility functions on the class that says how to set up the graph.  This previously worked, but now the property is failing because "foo" is null when it is trying to resolve the property value.  This seems likely to be related to the above.
    Finally, I've also observed what appear to be differences in the resolution of the lifecycle for non-visible objects.  Again, I haven't had time to nail this down precisely, but it feels like I used to get CREATION_COMPLETE in a bunch of cases that aren't getting it any more -- specifically, this seems to be happening for objects that I'm building up before adding them to the visible graph.  I build lots of screens upfront when a product is loaded, but don't actually add them into the tab structure until they are invoked.  Similarly, we have popups that we want to be populating as we go, long before they are displayed, but I don't seem to be getting CREATION_COMPLETE for them when I used to.
    So it seems like something has changed subtly in the UIComponent lifecycle, having to do with the timing of resolving IDs, setting properties to them, and calling commitProperties(); maybe also something having to do with how parenting relates to finishing the lifecycle.  Does anybody have a clue what I'm talking about here?  And is there a document somewhere that describes the timing changes more clearly?  I've seen several documents talking about 3 -> 4 changes, but haven't noticed anything on this particular topic...

    Yes, the timing of when child objects are created has changed relative to
    when the constructor runs, but the lifecycle methods and events have not
    changed.  If you rely on commitProperties to resolve things, it should be
    ok.
    The only cases I've seen where creationComplete doesn't fire is if there is
    an invalidation loop going on which is slightly more possible if using
    multiline text controls whose height depends on width or vice-versa.

  • I've never seen flex for sell.. how do I obtain a copy of it and whats the difference between it and flash?

    Hey;
    I've heard great stuff about flex but I've never seen it for sale. I've read that it is better for real time programs than flash. I don't know if thats true or not. What does flex offer that flash doesn't and how is the flex language better than the flash language? Or am I totally confused and is flex like an addon to flash??? any guidance would be really appreciated. I'm working on something Object oriented that needs to be in real time so I'm looking for the best program that offers that.

    I'm pretty new at all thsi stuff too, and all these terms killed me for my first few weeks in this arena, but I've got my feet under me now.
    Flex is an opensource SDK provided by Adobe (previously Macromedia). It used to be something they sold, but they opensourced it, Hoorah!!
    Flash is the set of APIs that start with flash.*, and you can fully create flash animations with just the standard flash APIs.
    Flex comes with a ton of very useful components, features, and functionalities that are built on top of flash. You should definitely download and get familiar with flex.
    The flex api's start with mx.*
    Flex also provides the ability to compile MXML documents into flash. MXML documents make it very easy to build Flash, full with animations, customizations, etc. in an HTML-like format. Take a look at the component explorer link below and you'll see the MXML generated for the example components. You can copy and paste that MXML (simple looking stuff eh?) and get a working app that you can expand on and play with as you learn.
    Here are a few helpful links to get you moving in the right direction:

  • I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build.  The same call works fine when running on the device

    I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
    I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
    The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
    I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
    I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
    By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
    Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
    Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
    Thanks!

    After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
    The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList.  Changing it to List resolved the problem.
    I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid.  And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger.  Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

  • Flex Calendar

    Hi
    I have created a flex app for use by the employees of our company. There are 60 employees and we are all shift workers with various rotations of work days. In the application, an employees logs in and a datagrid appears. Inside the datagrid is a cell for each day of the year and this is populated through actionscript with the employees work schedule for the year. A rotation is placed in the database of 6 days on and 4 days off, for example, and this is displayed in the datagrid based on the start date of the rotation. So if a employees starts their cycle on January 1, the dates January 1-6 will show "WORKING" in the datagrid, then January 7-10 will be blank (days off), then January 11-16 will show "WORKING" and so on.
    What I want to try in to produce an annual calendar view, similar to any paper wall calendar. It will appear with the 12 months arranged in a grid type fashion. For each day that is a "WORKING" day, I want to highlight it somehow (color, for example). This way, an employee can look at this calendar view and quickly see that he is working on December 25th without having to scroll all the way through a datagrid.
    I hope I explained that succintly!
    Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Since the actionscript already can produce the days of work and rest, it is just a matter of displaying the working days in a grid type calendar rather than a list based datagrid. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to do it.
    Thanks for any help!

    Building the Flextras Calendar took 11 months; and it was my primary project during that time.  I'm told we're pretty close to the iLog Calendar conceptually, but it isn't the same.  Our focus was not on duplicating Outlook / Google Calendar.  It was on providing an extensible base where developers could build anything.  Every 'visual' piece of our Calendar has a renderer associated with it, which gives the developer complete control.
    Generally, I assume a developer, with a single use case could build a knock off in 1/4 of the time.  It wouldn't be as extensible or documented as ours is; but if it's for a single uise / specific app it would work fine and be taylored to their specific needs.
    It sounds like the the original poster doesn't need all the functionality of the Flextras Calendar or the iLog Calendar.  He just needs a month view that displays 12 months and highlights the color of specific days.  I bet something could be created in <2 weeks easy.  I could probably create a mockup using the Flextras Calendar in a couple of hours.  I already have a prototype where three Calendars act like a single unit; creating one where 12 act as a single unit won't be much different.

  • Calendar Day View in Flex

    Hi,
    I am not sure if this place is the right place where I am
    supposed to post this.
    Has anyone tried using Flex to build a calendar application
    from scratch? I am having some problems with finding the right
    elements that would display the calendar in a day view that looks a
    bit like a timetable, but so far I have only found calendar
    components that display in a monthly view.
    Does anyone know if there are other possible components
    other than mx:DateChooser to build an application that allows users
    to list things in a day view, a monthly view and possibly other
    customized views? Or, do I have to "establish" each of these
    elements by compiling them manually with images?

    I built something with a month and a week view. I used a
    TileList for the
    month, and a custom component that does something sort of
    like an Accordion
    that held a List with a custom itemRenderer for each day.
    Essentially, I
    had an array of dates that I grouped different ways for the
    different views.
    If I had it to do over, I'd extend HierarchicalCollectionView
    to have a
    grouping function and use that to group on the different time
    periods. But
    this is how I dealt with the dates...

  • Flex 2-15 Keyboard/Trackpad no longer working

    Basically the keyboard/trackpad are no longer working for my lapop (Flex 2-15).
    Here's the run down of what I know:
    1) Function keys still work such as brightness up or down and turning off the screen.
    2) In device manager there is the yellow traigle with an exclamation point for the trackpad, but the keyboard driver seems functioning properly.
    3) On the mouse driver it says Code 10, timed out.
    4) I've tried uninstalling the mouse driver and restarting to see if windows would install automatically, and the driver comes back, but with the same code 10.
    5) Touch screen works fine.
    6) Running Windows 8.1.
    7) Tried restoring from factory settings and the issue is still here.
    8) USB mouse and keyboard work perfectly fine.
    9) Tried switching modes to see if keyboard/trackpad was disabled, but no luck there either.
    Greatly appreciate some help here as this is beyond frustrating since I've only had this laptop for a little over a month and can no longer return it. Also Lenovo doesn't support anything besides hardware and wants $70-140 to troubleshoot this issue.
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    They were trying to charge me for a "Software failure" which apparently isn't covered. I'm almost positive it's driver issues of some sort that they needed update seeing as the function keys work on the keyboard but the rest dont because the trackpad doesn't work.
    But if they're going to try and charge me for a software issue I might as well get them to replace the keyboard under warrenty just to rule that out. Sucks it's only been a little over a month.
    I purchased the laptop from Newegg.com since it was the cheapest I could find. They only do a 30-day refund/replacement unless you paid for extra insurance (which I never do since usually I can figure out most simple laptop issues).
    I usually just turn off this laptop as it's not my main one, but one I'm going to lend to my brother. And one day the keyboard was working fine and then the next day I turned it on I had issues. Worked fine for the few weeks leading up to it. I've updated windows a few times, but none of the updates were keyboard related and factory restoring didn't work so I'm at a loss.
