Source Code Editor Framework for Flex

Dear Flex Forum members:
As a Flex newbie a quite important question in relation to the "Flex frameworks world" still remains to me, even after some google search sessions:
Does there exist any (preferably free) Flex framework or Flex component covering the functionality of a source code editor with syntax highlighting and syntax checking? -- Anything comparable to the Editor Framework within the Eclipse RCP (Rich Client Platform) or even to the Eclipse GEF (Graphical Editor Framework)?
The background is as follows (and as described in more detail in my first post to this forum):
An Online Shop Management Component shall offer the ShopManager to specify the products and offers in some declarative way and after a pre-defined grammar in place. The application frontend must be realized in Flex, and that's the reason why I'm now searching for:
some kind of textual or graphical editor framework for realizing the Shop Manager's editor which shall support him/her in creating shop specifications/configurations in a grammar-conforming way through syntax color highlighting and syntax checking (error feedback), and
this editor framework being intended for Flex (i.e., being a flex framework)
In some way, much of the editing/modeling functionality is identical to the one offered by Flex Builder (Eclipse application), but in my case this functionality must be exposed as web application (Flex component running on the browser).
Aps., would it also be possible to realize the Shop Management Component as AIR app, distribute it through a web page and run it locally on the Shop Managers client desktop???
Which products/frameworks do you know for accomplishing this task?
Thank you very much for any help.
Best regards
Alessandro

Since people complain about Flex's basic rich text editor (which is a basic building block of the kind of framework you're discussing), I doub't you'll find what you need out of the box anywhere...

Preferred Source Code Editor Bracket Styles

The CVI Team would like to get an idea what the most commonly used source code editor bracket styles are.

<quote>"I wouldn't personally use Eclipse as a high water mark"</quote>
LOL! Good point. Ironic that I said that, considering how much I disliked Eclipse when I first used it.
I've set the options on the indention tab - what I'm mostly looking for is a way to force alignment style of brackets. I'll look at one of the beautification add ons...

The best source code editor?

Hi,
I have just started up with Java and I am looking for a source code editor like emacs but for Windows.
Tried out NotePad++ but I think it just did not cut it.
Something a little more sophisticated, but not a large IDE...
Any thoughts?
/Martin

"like emacs" and "not a large IDE"? you're confusing me ...
On a more serious note: Isn't there a Windows version of Emacs? I know there is one for vim. I use EmEditor on windows, but I do use Eclipse mainly, so it's really just for very basic text-file edits.

File not visible in Layout Editor, but okay in Source Code Editor & Preview

I just finished editing this page, and uploaded. It is visible on www, but when I go to edit it in Layout Editor, the cursor is blinking on a white background. Nothing appears to be there. However if I change to Source Code Editor or Preview, all my data is there. Here is the link to it - www.engraversnetwork.com/uls_lasers.html.

Wow! I figured it out. I was cleaning up my meta tags and left the ">" bracket off of the end of the line. Maybe that will help someone later on

Is there a way to restrict the cursor at the end of a line in the source code editor??

In the source code editor, the cursor will always follow where I click. But I wanna restrict it at the end of a line, just like other text editors do. Is there a option or sth? I can't put up with it any longer.
Solved!

Hello morphe!
The source editor in the LabWindows/CVI environment is constructed under the concept of virtual space.
At the moment, in the current version of LabWindows/CVI, this is the default behavior, which cannot be changed from the editor preferences dialogs.

Source Code Editor options

Is there a particular flavor of Source Code Editor that most people tend to lead towards? I currently use a Windows XP system if makes any difference.

I use TextPad on Windows. (But it runs OK using Wine on Linux as well.)

Recommend a framework for Flex & CF

Hi,
Can people please give a few opinions on learning a
framework, which one, why, and hopefully what kind of knowledge one
needs before even delving into the recommended (or any)
framework...for a Flex 2/Coldfusion MX7.0.2/MS-My-SQL environment.
Good books specific to the software would also be much
appreciated.
Thanks kindly,
Shawn:)

So I decided to change the url="
http://xxxxxx.com/test/cgi-vars-for-flex.cfm"
to url="
http://xxxxxx.com/test/cgi-vars-for-flex.xml"
(xml code below), to see if that works, and everything works fine.
So, I suspect there's something wrong with my cfm code.
Any ideas, anyone ? :)
Thanks,
Ray

Source code analysis tools for ActionScript 2?

I have been tasked with performing source code analysis on a very large (>1000 files) AS2 codebase.
Not surprisingly, Googling is not yielding useful results. Before declaring defeat, I felt it important to query this forum.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

We'd like to evaluate the hundreds of files using a static analysis tool, just as one would use lint for a C codebase.
Thanks,

Welcome to MSDN.
I am afraid that as Renee Culver said, these forums donot support VB6, you could refer to this thread:

Need source code or help for COMM_FAILURE 209

Hi,
Anyone know where I can get the source code for the com.sun.jndi.cosnaming package? I'm trying to debug this message WARNING: "IOP00410209: (COMM_FAILURE) Connection rebind". Only get this problem when connecting to solaris, fine on windows.
We run tnameserv and jdk1.4.2 on both. Also tried using jacorb, get same problem. The ORB's don't return any errors, error only on client side. Client is also jdk1.4.2 running on windows.
Ted.

Sorry,
but nobody here will do your homework for you. If you have problems with your code let us know and we try to help, but never ask for source code.

Javascript for email form - where in the source code editor does it go?

Hi,
I've copied some javascript that I thought would allow me to create a form to collect email addresses, but when I paste the code below between the head or body tags and preview the page nothing happens. Any help would be most appreciated.
script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="https://promo-manager.server-secure.com/em/forms/subscribe.php?db=3216
5&s=2796&u=18630&k=74bb649&emb=1"/script
I've removed some of the < > as they hid the code from the post.
Thanks
Charlie

The code is a bit strange.... Try this - <script type="text/javascript" src="https://promo-manager.server-secure.com/em/forms/subscribe.php?db=32165&s=2796&u=1 8630&k=74bb649&emb=1"</script> What is it you are expecting this script to do for you? And do you have a link to the site where you got this script? -- Murray

JDeveloper settings - change the default code editor view for JSPx files

Hi, when you open a .JSPX or JSP page the editor opens in 'design' mode. Is there a way to change this default behavior and open in 'source' mode? I write the JSF/JSP pages editing code and every time I open a new page I have to wait till the IDE opens in view mode and then manually switch to source mode by hand.
Thanks
Jordi

A year and a half after this post, and I still have this same issue as well. Even 10.1.3.3 has it.
Thanks for posting the solution as this will now save me lots of time waiting and often re-starting JDeveloper.

Managing Flex source code: alternatives to NWDI?

Experts, can you please share with me your experiences with source code management tools for your Adobe Flex applications? Our development team has handed off a very nice application to the maintenance group, but unfortunately no forethought into version control and team editing.
NWDI is fine if we just want to zip up a project and store it in a central repository, but we really want a good tool that we can manage individuals tasks, merge changes and work concurrently in a save environment.
Any ideas?

Hi,
We are using SubVersion Repository for version management of Flex projects. Its really good and easy to use.
You can install Subversion repository.
And then You can download plugin for Subversion for Flex Builder, install and start using it.
Alternatively, you can use Perforce also. From few people who are using NWDI, we got to know its better to use Perforce than NWDI. AS NWDI uses component based projects.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards,
Srilatha
