Should I use flex for my website

Hey, I am having trouble figuring out if I should be using
flex for a site similar to the BBC site:
http://www.bbc.co.uk. I have
started the site in flex but I am running into a lot of problems.
It could be that I am a newbie to Flex, but wanted to make sure if
I should still be going a head with this in Flex. Any advice would
be appreciated.
Thank you,
Vinny

I would say that if you don't know the answer to that
question, then the
answer is probably no. You need to have a pretty firm
understanding of how
sites like that work under the hood before trying to build
one in Flex.

    It's beta open source software so I'm not surprised. It does't look to be too active a project, so I don't know if it will help or not but you might be maybe better off posting a bug report on their Sourceforge page here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer/

  • Why should we use WSDL for developing webservices

    I need to develop Webservice Application for our Client .
    I dont know anything about WSDL4J
    Hi from the net i found this
    "The Web Services Description Language for Java Toolkit (WSDL4J) allows the creation, representation, and manipulation of WSDL documents.
    Is the reference implementation for JSR110 'JWSDL' (jcp.org)."
    But anybody please tell me why should we use WSDL for developing webservices ??
    Is there any specific advantage we will get ??
    And Can body please point me a link where to start for working with WSDL4j ?
    Thank you very much

    i seriously doubt you want to use wsdl4j unless you are doing really advanced webservice work. assuming you are developing this webservice from scratch, you basically want to use JAXWS: define an appropriate interface and your value classes, and let JAXWS do the rest. metro is the JAXWS implementation included in the oracle jdk and it has great tutorials and reference documentation online. i'd suggest you start here: http://metro.java.net/getting-started/

  • Using flex for air 2.0

    Hi,
    I don't know if anybody will be able to help. I use a company to create software for me. They have been using Flex to create a menu system that runs in the Air application. The software was running fine when using Air 1.5. However, since the update to 2.0 there are now issues with the software.
    Are the coding practices of the company I am using wrong? Should they be designing with Air 2.0 in mind?
    Obviously i understand that this isn't an issue with Adobe. But I am concerned that this company will not tell me the whole truth and if this would be better solved using legal advice?
    I appreciate any help you can give.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Sorry your running into problems with Voddler.  There aren't any known issues with AIR on Danish XP systems.  Have you tried contacting Voddler to see what they have to say?

  • How to use $FLEX$ for DFF segment

    We have below requirement for “Add'l Salary Admin. Details” DFF.
    we have three segments:
    Current Additional Amount -first segment
    Additional Allowance Change % - second segment
    New Additional Allowance - third segment
    e.g.
    Now first segment has fixed value, Assume it is 2000 AED
    And in second segment if value is 3
    Then third segment should show the value: 2000 + 2000 * 3/100
    Third segment is dependent on segment1 and segment2.
    I think, we can achieve this by using $FLEX$
    But I need your guide line, how can we do that?

    below solution is only possible solution.
    Hi,
    Keeping the default SQL statement on its place, use table based value set for segment3 which contains all values from 0 to let say 1,000,000 (such that your calculated values falls in the range).
    Try it. It segment3 will now calculate on the basis of values of segment1 & 2.

    Thanks for everyone's input.

  • How to use IWEB for multiple websites?

    Okay.
    I have two websites. One on a 3rd party, one on .MAC.
    Computer 1 = .MAC website
    Computer 2= 3rd party website
    I want to use computer 2 to edit my .MAC website and moved the DOMAIN file but haven't open it in iWEB on the second computer as I need to know how to open and not destroy the 3rd party website.
    How is this done?
    Thanks.

    You can rename the domain file to something descriptive of the site and open them manually. But I find it much safer to use iWebSites for managing multiple sites, over 25. I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
    If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
    This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

  • Using iweb for school website

    Hi
    This may have been answered before but I cant find it in the discussion. I want to set up a website for a very small school (24 students)using iweb. Do I have to use Apple for the ISP and if so is it the same rate as for a private individual?
    Anyone out there done the same thing? I have been using the moogle style and they are unbelievably complicated for someone like me! Iweb seems to solve those tech problems and I would love to use it.
    Thanks

    It is extremely easy to produce a site like this within iWeb. Just start with a white template so that you can design is yourself as they have done.
    To get the colours, what they have done and you can do is create a text box and then use either colour fill or gradient fill to achieve the contrast in colours. They have then placed photos and their logos over this. You could even achieve the same effect with a shape too with a rounded or a square edge that is colour or gradient filled.
    For the navigation bars, all you need do is to go to the Inspector and hide the page template nav bar and create your own as they have done. They have probably created theirs by using either shapes or text boxes that are again colour/gradient filled. You can then enhance the look by using picture frames to make them stand out more. Don't forget to hyperlink them though. The other nav bar is just done using different text styles and colours.
    It is really as simple as that and to make it even more effective you can change the colour of the page background and also the browser background for even more effect. Just open Inspector and go to Page Layout where all these changes can be made.

  • Should I use TimesTen for unstable table

    Hi all,
    I have a table that there are a lot of accessing operations to it, include: select, insert, update, delete. My table has 80 columns, about 1M rows, one primary key (2 cols), 5 indexes in other cols.
    I want to increase select speed.
    Should I use TimesTen Cache for this table? Which cachegroup type (read-only, awt, swt,...) I should use?
    Thanks!

    Sure you could use TimesTen to cache this table from the Oracle database. As you are performing DML against it I would recommend you look at the Asynchronous Write-Through (AWT) Cache Group.

  • Proxy.pac file not working for using proxy for selected websites

    After changing my ISP, i cant connect to Bluenest.org directly but with proxy. I can also connect by setting manual proxy server for all websites. But I dont want to do that as there is a bit security problem. I just wrote Proxy.pac files to use proxy sever for that particular website & put its location on Automatic Proxy Configuration. But its not working. I va tried with two types of .pac files. Given the code of the files below.....
    First one..........
    <pre><nowiki>
    function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
    if (shExpMatch(url, "http://bluenest.org") || localHostOrDomainIs(host, "http://www.bluenest.org"))
      return "PROXY 204.45.138.4:80";
     else
      return "DIRECT";
    </nowiki></pre>
    Second one......
    <pre><nowiki>function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
    if(!isResolvable(host))
    return "DIRECT";
    return "PROXY 204.45.138.4:80";
    }</nowiki></pre>
    but none of them working. Please help.
    Can you please tell which proxy server is fastest & safest.
    Thanx in advance

    I submitted a bug report to Apple. The problem is present since 10.9.2, now with 10.10 and iOS. I hope they will take this problem seriously.

  • How many files should be used to make 1 website?

    This is a relatively simple begininner question, but my begininner tutorials have lead me astray and confused me a bit.
    (I did katie's cafe tutorial and it has an Embed file, a Master Page file, a Visit Page file, a Widgets file, and a Publish file)
    I was just wondering how many files I should include for my website. It seems like I will only need one.
    Say I have 5 pages on my site, do I need 5 different files? or May I just edit all the pages on 1 adobe-muse file, and when it uploads via FTP it will create the seperate pages for me.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Hello Ben,
    You're correct in thinking that you need only one file for your site with 5 pages, and that you don't need 5 files for 5 pages.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • SHould I use keynote for this?

    We will exhibit at the Frankfurt ProLight+Sound this year and the task of producing the picture slideshow with promotional material has fallen on to my desk.
    Plan is to have three plasma screens connected in to one giant screen so that images move from one screen to another, to the third, and so on.
    Should I use keynote to produce this? Or is it better to do something in iMovie/FCE/FCP? Or is Director the software to use?
    The other thing is that this will run either on a PC or off a DVD player and it has to be looped.
    Thanks in advance.

    I would suggest using FCP because I don't think iMovie can show 3 pictures at the same time. FCP does cost a lot and is used by many to edit movies (Like any movie you would see in a theater). I wouldn't suggest buying it if your not going to use it a lot. Then use Keynote. Make the pictures move with each slide. Loop it and make it a QuickTime (.mov). Click 'Manual Advance' and change it to 'Fixed Timing'. Click 'None' and change it to 'Loop'. Check 'Enter full screen mode when opened'. Click on 'Full Quality, Large' and change it to 'CD-ROM Movie, Medium'. Check 'Include transparency'. That should make it easy to burn to CD/DVD and play back on a Windows Machine. On a VCR I have no idea.

  • Why should we use BRTOOLS for  oracle data backup?

    Hi there,
    Any one of you have any idea on specific advantages with using BRTOOLS for backup over using only Oracle RMAN?
    Are there any advantages using brbackup in databackups which we do not get with RMAN alone?

  • What should i use fireworks for?

    Ok, so im thinking of upgrading my current Adobe package with
    CS2 to the new CS3 and i was looking at the Webdesign premuim. And
    it comes with Fireworks. I do a lot of webdesign and I was
    wondering what exactly would i use fireworks for?
    What does it do better than using plain ol' Photoshop for
    making templates and stuff? ect...
    Thanks

    Clandestinex337,
    There is signficant difference between the Fireworks 8 and
    Photoshop in terms of application feature and functionality.
    Fireworks 8 is specifically designed for
    web graphic
    and
    web photos
    while Photoshop is specifically designed for high-end
    professional print and if you will also for professional
    photographers to edit high quality photo images.
    Additionally, like others have said about Fireworks have
    built-in vector-based and bitmapped-based, while Photoshop is
    mainly bitmapped-based application. That is a major difference
    between Fireworks and Photoshop in that respect.
    If you understand, have some hands-on experience with
    Fireworks and/or Photoshop, you will know the difference and
    undeerstand the main or primary purpose of those two applications
    -- whichever that fits right into your needs, your requirement and
    things like that.
    If you aim for webdesign projects and if you work a lot of
    image files aiming for web graphic and web photos, then Fireworks
    is for you.
    I don't know if you have Fireworks or Photoshop installed on
    your machine. If you do not have those two, perhaps that you might
    want to test-drive those two for 30 days and let the experience and
    hands-on tell the story and it speaks for itself.
