Flex Without VC?

Hi Experts,
I have got two questions for you.
1. Can I use Flex without VC? for example, is it possible to use flex with WAD 3.x?
2. Can I use VC without Portal, we don't have portal installed? Can anyone please explain me how VC works.
Any pointings will definitely be rewarded.
Points Gauranteed.
Please help.

Hi Raguraman,
Q1.
VC useing Flex as the One of its Compilers to Get its Runtime Output.
Like these are WebdynPro and Xgraph.
Q2.
Without portal you can not open a VC and Work on it .
Because VC server is installed on Portal server and it gets its contents from the Portal only Like Backend and Users
If above Explainantion did not claear your doubts reply again .
I will expalin Clearly

Basic Soap requests in Flex (without WSDL)

Hi,
I have just started to use Flex, so everything is really new
to me.
I am meant to write a Flex application that requests data
from a Java SOAP service which is currently written by a colleague.
We do not have a WSDL specification (yet), as the content
format is not yet agreed on and might be extended frequently (Also,
the Service will only ever be used by my flex app)
Unfortunately I could only find SOAP tutorials for Flex that
use WSDL.
It would be great if anyone could give me some ideas on how
to get started on using SOAP within Flex without the WSDL part.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Yes I think your app will perform better using remote objects, there's
a great app to test that named Census you can get it and do your own
tests or play with it on James Ward's blog.
Sincerely,
Michael

We are developing a middle sized application using Flex and Axis
Webservices. On the client side we AS code generated using Flex
Builder 3.0 and the WSDL. On the server side we have Java code
generated with Axis 1.3 using the same WSDL. The problems occurs
when the server sends a 290Kb response to the Client. Flex spends 10
seconds (obtained from mx.rpc.* log facility) in deserialing this
SOAP message. My question is:

Flex without anti-aliased font in IDE

Hi
In Flex 3 running on Mac OSX 10.5.4 is it possible to make
the font in the IDE more bitmap looking (ie without text
smoothing/anti-aliasing)? Staring at small anti-aliased fonts all
day seems to be harder on my eyes!
Thanks in advance
H

i already do have anti-aliasing turned on. black text on a white background is anti-aliased as expected. i'm trying to use white on black and the difference, while subtle, is there. since i sit in front of a terminal and program all day, i want a font and display combination that is easier on my eyes than what i'm seeing now. i'll go back to black text on light background for now, but in the long run i prefer the opposite style.

Flex, Printing / Create PDF without Server?!?

Hi,
after some days of searching a printing solution for flex without using a server or using a second languag (Java), I found the following solutions:
www.alivepdf.org
and
www.bentbit.com
Is there something else out there?!?!?
I can not understand why Adobe, the "mother" of PDF, does not have a nice solution for it?!?!?!
Cheers!

It would probably be a good idea to explain why the solutions you've found are unsuitable.

Can Tour de Flex run without internet connection

Hi
I have installed TourDeFlex.air, but unfortunately it requires internet connection to browse the components.
Do you know if it is possible to run Tour de Flex without internet connection?

From an earlier post by Nicolas Mertens:
"here's what I got from Customer Services about this problem:
[Help] files are located in the following location:
C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_us/InDesign/6.0. Also
from that location, you can launch the file 'index.html' and this
should direct you to *the online help that you would access through
the program itself.*"
I found that the files are not at that location, but at C:/Program
Files/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_GB/InDesign/6.0 (this is in Windows
Vista, by the way). "
Yours would presumably be at [the German equivalent of
..]/de-DE/InDesign6.0, or whatever your locale is (AT, CH...)

How to display pdf file in flex application

hi,
I am Ibran, I am using Flex4.5, in that i want to display a pdf file like images.
How can i do it please anyone tell me.
I have used navigateToURL(url),but this was going into navigation and i can't see my textfield and buttons.
So without this navigateToURL(url) how can i display a pdf file in flex without navigation so that i can see my textInputs and buttons.

Flash does not have the ability to load/display/manipulate PDF files, so you can't open it directly in the flex application. With clever HTML and javascript, you can make it appear that it is in the same window, but it will actually be in a separate window/div in the browser. And yes, this has always seemed absurd to me that Adobe doesn't support PDF's......

Load a PDF and Print it Without User Seeing the PDF

I have a client who has a need to allow users via a web browser to print PDFs wihtout gaining direct access to them. Ignoring all the flaws in this logic , I am new to Flex and am having difficulty determining if this is possible. So, here are the details:
1) This is a web browser application.
2) The files reside on a server.
3) The user will view a list of available PDF files in their browser.
4) There will be a print icon next to each one.
5) When they click on the print icon we need to pull in the PDF from the server and initiate a print, all without the user seeing the PDF. So once they click the print icon the next thing they see is thier browser's print dialog box.
I have 1-4 done, I just need help with the most important one, #5.
So, can Flex (without AIR) load a PDF in without displaying it and print it?
I am using Flash Builder 4.6, if it matters.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Well, that's going to be difficult. Before everything else, a silent printing in general, is not what Browser is all about. A print dialog is thrown by the browser when a user selects a print option. Same thing if an application is trying to print using built into it conventional methods of printing - you get Print dialog. It gets even harder if you want to print PDF files silently. You will need to make sure that a file is available to print in case it's generated on the fly. The following code will print your PDF without dialogs to a selected (var printer) printer:
var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var fs = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var fi = "AcroRd32.exe /N /T " + '"c:\\temp\\' + "filename" + '" ' + printer;
WshShell.Run(fi, 0, false);
As you notice, the file is on the local system. Or you can try printing over the network.
This code will be a part of a JS function in your html wrapper. You will call this function from Flex using ExternalInterface.
AcroRd32.exe is an Adobe free PDF reader. I would suggest starting from the end - have a file on the local system and working on everything esle.

Flash migration to Flex

Hey there,
Is there anyway to migrate existing applications built in Flash to Flex without having to rewrite everything over again? I've heard something about the Flex Component Kit that says it allows you to build Flex components in Flash but that doesn't sound like what I am looking for.
Thanks!

If you build a pure as3 project you can migrate it easily. But if you
don't you can embed the compiled flash app within a Flex app using
SWFLoader for instance.
Sincerely,
Michael

How Open source Flex looks to a mid level developer

Here is my response to a post Matt made on a blog:
THe whole post:
http://blog.simb.net/2009/01/19/take-flex-back-for-the-community/
@Matt
1st off thanks, now my input:
The crux of your criticism seems to be that the process that we use for decision-making is closed its certainly not how we feel
Unfortuntly, this seems like a case of bad commuication by Adobe and the Flex team. If notable community experts get the impression of closed doors, then *certainly* the rest of us get this impression as well.
but there has been very little participation from the community so far
Im a solid dev, and not an expert but I can contribute in things such as testing and low level optimization; But, the Adobe open source site is a galactic disaster and discourages me from getting invloved. It has so many webpages that just go around in circles - filled with text that is verbose, this frustrates me to a great deal. As opposed to somehting straight foreward like:
http://framework.zend.com/download/latest
or
http://code.google.com/p/papervision3d/
Everything is here and easily notable. I avoid the seamingly endless pages and confusion. If I want to get to the Flex dev mailing list I have to register, then choose the lists, add the lists to my account. go though my account prefs read some directions.. then set up some other preferences..jeeeezzzz. If I want to submit a feature request I am directed to create another login for some Bug and Issue management? HUH? I thought I was submitting a featue request.
Right on papervisions google HOME page I see Getting started > Papervision3D Mailing List.
Next when I finially do get to Flex SVN, this trunk. is nothing like I have seen.what IS all this stuff and where do I go to learn about it? There are countless subfolders filled with things I vaguely understand and if I want to learn what it is. where do I go? Is there even a src folder?
Here is a classic example.
Flex trunk Read Me:
http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/trunk/README.txt
vs.
Zend Trunk Read me:
http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/trunk/README.txt
*What* is the Flex team thinking with this?
I just spent 5 minutes or so twirling through all these SVN directories and Adobes website and I am clueless. I feel like the project is unessarily complex and disorganized - even if it isnt. This just convinced me to delete my Flex sdk bookmark on my SVN client.
Adobe just lost one potential contributor to Flex SDK.
We have another idea that were bouncing around that I hope to share in a week or two but wont get into now.
Saying stuff like this is what gives people the impression of closed. Why not post these ideas the Flex team has? Even if it is stupid or incomplete
Thats the whole point.

Wow, thanks for your response. This is great. I now understand that I had a combination of prejudice and ignorance when regarding Adobe Open Source. Perhaps my ignorance on these particulars is something that other devs encounter ( that whole perception thing ). I have chatted with people who consider the Flex SDK and Flex Builder... not the same... but fused together so much that it'd be just crazy to try and use one with out the other When I mention using Flex without Flex Builder.... people get that glazed over look in their eyes....( FYI I'm a FDT man, but am keeping a close eye on the new Flex Builder ) I'll use Zend as an example ( it's the best that I can come up with ) but I feel like there is a difference between the open source framework and Zend Studio ( commercial software ). Anyway, I'm really excited about how you've responded to all this. I have more ideas, but Ill sit on them and think it through and get ready for next weeks meeting.

Server/Data Push Form Java to Flex.

Hi All ,
In my application ( Flex3 + Java Struts) i am using RPC (HttpService) calls only . Recently i read the article about
DATA PUSH FROM JAVA TO FLEX WITHOUT PAGE REFRESHING USING SERVER PUSH.
Can anybody tell me more about this , how to use this in my application.
Thanks in Advance....

Did not worked that much with those but I know there are some embedded example
that comes along with the blazeDS download.
The DB is embedded but you can have a rough idea. alsoe there are some
turtorials and odcs for both of them, Google is your friend. Also google for
James Ward's blog and Christophe Coenraets, they have posts about this.

Hi Raghu,
You can instal VC on O4s Portal .
There is no extra thing you can do to Work on VC with O4s Portal.
Just give like this Url to open your VC:http://<Hostname>:<Portnumber>/VC
Ex.http://pwdf2825.wdf.sap.corp:50000/VC
Before doing this makle sure all Require software is installe don ur Desktop i.e Adobe Flash Player ,SVG View and XML Parser.
And User with which ur opening should have VC Role.
Regarding NW7.1 is still in Development stage and i think SAP Not yet released into Market.
Kindly come back to me if u have still Problems.

External JS from AIR with Flex?

Hi,
I wonder if this is possible. I have a AIR application built
using Flex, I would like to apply syntax highlight within the flex
application - but my actionscript experience is very limited.
My question:
I've used JavaScript syntax highlighting scripts before
(shjs) - I would like to use this package inside my Flex
application. Is this possible, can I load and use external
JavaScript files inside Flex/Air apps?
I see this can be done using Flex in a Browser (flex without
AIR) with the 'ExternalInterface API' - is this currently available
for AIR or is there any other method available to do this?
To me this is a huge factor for the success of Flex inside
AIR. I have a huge range of JavaScript libraries I've built over
the years, it would really suck if I had to rewrite everything in
ActionScript.
Any ideas??

Hi,
With AIR, you don't need to worry or think about
ExternalInterface. AIR comes in built with webkit. Just use the
mx:HTML control to load your html page containing the javascript
and you will be able to make JS calls from your Flex side.
But do note that there are limitations to what sort of JS can
be run within the HTML control. Especially around "eval". Take a
look at

Webservices with Flex

Is there any way to consume webservices from flex without
using LCDS or FDS. Thanks in advance

Hi,
You don't need LCDS/FDS/BlazeDS to consume a web service. All
you need to do is to use the WebService component.
Hope this helps.
