Skin & Component Relation

Lets assume we have a single skin and multiple components applying that skin. In this case, does flex create a seperate skin for each component or single skin and multiple references to the components? I am asking that because I will have buttons using the same skin but each button will be assigned a different icon in the skin file. I am considering to embed all icons in the skin file and assign them based on the hostcomponent ids in the skin file but i dont want to accidentally repeat the creation of all icon instances for each button.

Each component has its own skin instance.

After Flash Catalyst discontinued - What Workflow Designer / Developper to use? and how skin compone

Hi,
Now that Flash Catalyst is discontinued before being totally usable,
I used Flash Catalyst for skinning components and prototyping design of App.
So i wonder how experienced people do that without Flash Catalyst?
And more im asking to Adobe the same questions. What do you propose to do now what Flash catalyst helped to do until now?
how do you skin components?
how do you work with designers to get their App Pages designs?
in a word, what is the WorkFlow?
Thanks

I couldn't agree more with you that developers need a solid WYSIWYG tool, and Catalyst was Adobe's closest rival to Blend. It had much more potential than the amount of attention it received. Adobe was very foolish pulling the plug on it, not to mention all their other recent decisions related to the Flash Platform.
My point was that with all of the importing and exporting capabilities of Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash Professional, and especially Fireworks, you already have all of the capabilities of Flash Catalyst, at least in regards to making creative assets available to the Flex framework. That was the sole purpose of Catalyst- to bridge the gap between Adobe's design applications and Flex. If you weren't concerned with Flex, Flash Catalyst would be of no use, even if it were still in development. Exporting a Catalyst project to Flash Professional or HTML was never on it's roadmap, although I'm sure I'm not the first person who thought of those possibilities.
Catalyst, simply put, was the FXG editor which Flash Builder's design mode was not. For example, you could not draw a rectangle using Builder's design mode. With Catalyst CS5.5, it allowed you to directly assign FXG assets to MXML skins for ten of the nineteen Spark components which use the MXML skin architecture. This was a huge limitition, and espeically obvious with the new roundtripping feature, because using any of the non-supported components could easily break the connection between Builder & Catalyst. Honestly, myself and many of the Adobe engineers I talked to on the Flash Builder team, still do not understand why Catalyst wasn't merged into Flash Builder in the first place.
Perhaps it's not as useful out of context, but I compiled a presentation a few months ago for my Adobe user group, titled "Creative & Production Harmony": https://acrobat.com/#d=jNyu*qRjpF68tbl*8lCiTw&x=s
Basically what it outlined, was when to use Catalyst, and when you are better off exporting straight from the other design apps. My conclusion, was that you're generally better off designing your assets in the app you're comfortable with. That IS your WYSIWYG editor, to the precision of 1px. It was also a future proof answer since Catalyst was discontinued and many of the other Flex related workflows have evaporated. The main loss behind discontinuing Catalyst, were its states, timeline, and visual editing of FXG less commonly preserved when exporting from the other apps.
A workflow example for a project I recently used Catalyst with, http://disneycruiseadventure.com/ was to open the PSD provided inside of Photoshop, launch Catalyst, draw a shape (or copy/paste in a vector smart object from Illustrator), and use it's properties panel to match the Photoshop layer styles. This basically the climax of the day, because the rest of it was all spent manually editing code in Builder (and often fixing a lot of the crap code Catalyst spit out). For advanced use of graphics, we relied heavily on the Flex Component Kit, which basically lets you work with any MovieClip inside of Flex or even insert Flex components into a Flash Professional container. The integration between Flex & Flash Pro is most commonly overlooked, which is sad because it still offers the very most design freedom for Flex and has been around long before Catalyst.
In my personal project, my workflow heavily involves Fireworks. It's exporting capabilities are unparralled by any of the other Adobe design apps. You can design with the 1px precision you are after, and almost always preserve that precision after exporting to Flex 3, FXG, and even CSS. Speaking of CSS, now you can export to CSS3 and jQuery mobile themes using Fireworks. If I had a choice between Fireworks and Catalyst, I would take Fireworks without any question. If you're looking for another workflow, consider the idea of taking HTML/CSS exported by Fireworks and opening it inside of Adobe Edge for adding animation and interactivity. Then do your final editing with Dreamweaver, or skip the Edge step if you don't need it.

First Flex Project - Skinning Component?

I am working on my first flex project for the college that I work for. We are making a large touch screen into a display for all of the awards that we have given out over the years and taking the old plaques off the walls.
I want to iterate over a list of names and years that the awards were given so that each instance of the award looks like it is on it's own little plate. I'm just imitating the plaques that were on the wall that had a big discription and name of the plaque on one plate and all the winners of the award on their own little plates beneath it.
Is this what I would a component skin for? I'm sorry if this is to much of a newbie question.

Very cool indeed.
I added it to my ChikaraDev directory of rich internet
applications:
ChikaraDev
Directory of Rich Internet Applications
It could use a progress bar though. The screen where it will
appear is blank till it loads. But very nice use of Flex!

Please help explain: Difference btw Seekbar in a skin and Seekbar standalone component

Hi,
I am confused about the follwing, can someobe please
enlighten me.
I noticed that the "Seekbar" component inside any of the
default skins (e.g StellOverAll.fla) is just a place holder, it has
2 layers with one layer having just an outline of a rectangle. And
the SeebarProgress and the SeekbarHandle are place somewhere else
inside the Skin component. However, if I select the "Seekbar"
component from the component window and place it on the stage and
double click to look inside, I can see 4 layers, with the
SeekbarProgress component in one layer and the SeebarHandle on
another layer.
So my question is the following:
1. Is the "Seekbar" component in the skin DIFFERENT than the
"Seebar" component from the Component Window?
2. How does the "Seekbar" component in the skin interact with
the "SeekbarProgress" and "SeekbarHandle" components in the skin,
when they are OUTSIDE the "Seekbar" component?
Any answer will be greatly appreciated.

Flex4 : Component state vs skin state

Hello,
I still can't quite figure the difference between the two ( if there is even a difference )
component state : Defined by UIComponent's current state
skin state : Determined by SkinnableComponent->getCurrentSkinState.
Now, when should one use these 2 different mechanisms ?
My first thought was that skin state was used for small variations ( selected effects, small controls appearing, etc ) and that component state was more for application state, like a view representing a form would change drammatically if currentState became FORM_BEING_SUBMITTED. But a skin could very well be applied to a huge and complex view so this reasonning fails.
-> Another interpretation is that you would use a skin only if flexibility is required, or else just use the old component state mechanism.
Is that correct?

Hi,
It can be a bit confusing, no worries. Not sure if this will help but here goes...
A Flex 4 "skin" is itself a component - e.g. Skin is derived from UIComponent and as such supports view states. So when you see the term 'skin state' all it really means is that it is the 'currentState' of the Flex 4 skin. The 'currentState' of a Skin is controlled automatically by the SkinnableComponent the skin is associated with (based on what getCurrentSkinState returns at a given point in time).
There really is no functional difference between how view states work for a Flex 4 Skin vs. how they work for say any other MXML component (like Application) - other than who is responsible for changing the state over time. It's just that in the case of Application where (as in your example) you may define 3 different orientations of your application for example - you'd be responsible for setting currentState when appropriate.
The one thing to remember (and I'm sure is the reason for most folk's confusion) is that for a SkinnableComponent instance, there really aren't any "states" for the component itself - the 'currentState' and states array are unused in this case.
A simple example:
Button. The actual Button class has no states itself, but its Skin does. The Button is responsible for putting the Skin in one of the possible view states at runtime based on user interaction over time (e.g. up, over, down, disabled). e.g. getCurrentSkinState is called on Button and depending on what is returned, the Button will (behind the scenes) set 'currentState' of the Skin component to one of the 4 states.
Setting 'currentState' on a Button itself has no affect, because the Button has no actual states defined (as far as the states API is concerned), even though it happens to also be a UIComponent.

Change default text in adf faces component in Webcenter Spaces

Hi ,
Here is the link that I found to change the default text in adf faces component. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/49-skin-component-labels-169191.pdf
Scenario is simple :
Taskflow "ABC" is used in webcenter space through imported Library in spaces App. Taskflow "ABC" have the pageFragment "view1" and fragment has a adf table on that page. I was trying to change the "Detach" text using below code in above provided instruction.
{ "af_panelCollection.LABEL_DETACH_TABLE_DLG", "Any name for the Detachable Table" },
{ "af_panelCollection.LABEL_DETACH_TREE_TABLE_DLG", "Any name for the Detachable Tree Table" }
Query/Problem : I did change in the trinidad-skins.xml of DesignWCSpaces app ... redeployed the war.. But the text didn't changed. The above steps worked fine for individual ADF application ... SO what's wrong with implementation on Webcenter Spaces ?

Hi.
Basically you have to do the following:
Create an ADF JAR Library including your Skin (JS, Images, CSS Skin, Resources Bundles and trinidad-skins.xml)
Deploy the ADF JAR Library as Shared-lib in WebLogic.
Include in your weblogic.xml of the WebCenter Portal (Formerly Spaces) deployment via DesignWebCenterSpaces or the new extension the reference to the shared-lib.
Restart WebCenter Portal (Spaces). When starting WebCenter Portal (Spaces) it looks inside of the Classpath for all trinidad-skins.xml files.
Setup your custom skin for a Space and test.
If the Skin is not selectable in the Administration Console then register your new skin downloading/updating/uploading from the MDS the generic-site-resources.xml file of the default scope GUID.
If you still have issues then may I priorize a Blog entry explaining this .
Regards.

PAS/AAS JAVA instances on UNIX/Linux - database component

Hi SCN,
Firstly consider this is all UNIX/Linux based...
In the past when creating AS (or AAS now) SAP dialog instances for ABAP systems I rarely ran a SAPINST process. It was simpler to copy existing profiles and NFS mount the kernel. There is no database component relating to the instances so you could easily add/remove them
However in Java it seems there is instance data inside the database Java schema, meaning that you have to install/re-install AS/AAS instances using SAPINST/SWPM to ensure these are properly created; otherwise the instance will not connect.
Does anyone have any details on what constitutes this database component? I would like to look at it with my own eyes and see what makes it up.
Regards all, Jamie

Hi Jamie,
In case of JAVA, there we have BOX number. If you have a logical host on top of your physical host, then you can go with over scheme. Otherwise, because of BOX number, you have to go with export/import option.

Skinned Panel Content Area Problem

I have instances of the Panel component that was skinned
using the Flex Skin Component Kit for Flash. The problem is that
the content areas of these panels occupy the entire panel area. An
unskinned panel has a content area that is within the panel's edges
and header. For my skinned panels, the content area extends to all
four edges of the panel (top, bottom, left, right). Any components
placed inside the panel goes beyond the usual white content area
and overlaps the header. How can I fix this content area size
problem? Please help. Thanks.

Can you use content area coordinates, or some manipulation of
the global, local, and content coordinates?
