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?

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.

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.

Using flex for thik client application

My application is an C++ thik client application. It uses
some king of lib (called zaf) for the UI.
Can Flex be used for handling the UI of desktop application
?

You could use AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime), in which most
of the app is created in Flex, and some in AIR extensions, but
there would be limitations. You can't execute native applications
from AIR applications, so you can't execute Perl scripts, Java
apps, etc. from your AIR app. You can of course use FDS (Flex Data
Services) to connect to POJO, EJB, JavaBeans, SOAP and other web
services, etc.

How to pass data between views using Flex for mobile?

Hi,
In my 1st view, I have set of images. Each image represents a product category. When I click on an image, it has to show my 2nd view which is a list. This should show all the products linked to this category.
I saw few examples where the 1st view is a list. Select an item in a list shows the details in the next view.
But what I need is, I need to know which image is clicked in my 1st view (ie) Home page. This id needs to be passed to my 2nd view to retrieve the data for the clicked image (clicked product category).
Can anyone help me in this?

Chellaa2011,
If I understand you correctly, you can pass data to the next view by passing the second parameter to the pushView method.
check out: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/spark/components/ViewNa vigator.html#pushView()
I've written similar apps in the past and found that a singleton class alleviates some of these issues. If you use a singleton to track currently selections all your views can access the same data without having to pass and return data from each other.
Hope this helps,
KLee

Advice on Learning how to use Flex Data Services

Hi. I've been using flex for a while and I'm now at the stage
where I'd like to be able to develop AIR apps. I wanted to do
something simple to start with...eg. have an AIR app on a few
friends desktops that lets users tick a box if they can make it to
a poker game. Do I need to learn another language like PHP to do
this or can it be done using just Flex? Other than the live docs
and dev guide that come with flex are there other
documentation/online info that can be recommended.
Thanks!

the LCDS sql assembler might be a good fit for you. it allows
you to do sql crud from flex. there's not server side coding, just
xml config.

Can I "do" Flex for free?

Excuse if I have posted this in the wrong area... I am
looking over all the Flex info and am a bit confused on
a) all the pieces involved to "do" Flex, and
b) what is free and what is going to cost big $$$.
I see there is an express (dumbed-down?) version of the
Eclipse IDE tool which appears to be free. And some components that
are free (for any use?) if they are limited to a single CPU . And I
also see there is a Flex server for $20,000! So if I wanted to
create an internal flex app for my small business, is that possible
for free? What if I wanted to create an app for our
"outward-facing" web site for our clients? and what if I wanted to
create a Flex app for another client for their web site? I guess I
am really asking what kind of $$$ would it cost to Live in Flex,
and if this is more for enterprise budgets and not small shops or
free lance developers.
Thanks!

Hey Man,
I hear you it can be a bit confusing. So lets break it down a
bit. There are several flex products and each has a couple
versions. So the first one is the Flex 2 SDK. This is freely
available and includes all the framework files and a command line
compiler. This allows you to use notepad or any other text editor
to write your mxml and as code and compile it. This is completly
free on non-restrictice of what you do with the swf you create.
However tools are a big part of any development language so
the next product is Flex Builder 2. Flex Builder (FB) is an IDE
(Integrated Development Environment) that has all sorts of tools
for writing your code including a visual wysiwyg editor for your
flex application. Its has a built in debugger and lots of features.
Flex Builder 2 costs $499.
Both the flex sdk and flex builder allow you to create flex 2
swf applications which you can deploy to as many servers as you
like, they get uploaded just like a swf made in the Flash 8 IDE..
Or heck sell them at your discretion (the swf not the sdk or
flexbuilder ). With both of these you can communicate with a
backend server using RPC (remote procedure call) invocations. These
can be done over http using the httpService, soap using webService,
and AMF using RemoteObject to talk to ColdFusion.
Then next peice of the software puzzle is the Charting
Components. By themselves I think they are around 300 dollars. but
You can also buy them bundled with flex builder and get both
products for (I think) around 50 less than buying them seperate.
The last peice is the Flex Data Services. This is a J2EE
server and allows for exceptional functionality including
messaging, colloaboration, and data syncronization. There is a free
version of this application taht is limited to 1 cpu servers and
100 connections. This product is called FDS Express. Then there is
the full version of this server that costs in the range ow $20,000.
So as you see there are a couple routes you can take to use
Flex for free, but to get the "Enterprise" features and tooling you
will need to shell out a little dow. Depending on what you are
looking for, it could be alot of dow :)
Hope that helps,
simeon

Flex for Touch Screen Interfaces

I am evaluating using Flex for the development of a couple of
touch screen kiosk projects. One major issue is the UI elements
like scroll bars. For both these projects, scroll bars are a design
necessity. (For better or for worse) Looking at the class
references it does not seem immediately clear that the scroll bars
can be modified in size. I do see that they can be skinned, but
there is no indication that I can go from the 16 px wide vertical
scroller to one say 48 px wide.
Any thoughts?

I believe you can. If you lookup the source code you can
change these constants, create your own libraries and use them. you
will have to learn FLEX beyond evaluating it to prove this out, but
it could be done. It's open source, but you need to check out the
type of license. You may be able to sell it as a proprietary
component.

Using Flex components in Java application

Hello,
I was learning Flex previously, and I thought I remembered reading somewhere that I can use Flex UI components in a Java application. For instance, I could use Flex for the UI, and Java for the backend. I can't find though the documentation for this. I read this last summer. I don't mean using Flex as a UI in a browser and Java on the server, but a Java application that runs on the client with a Flex UI. I thought what I needed was the flex compiler api, but I looked at the flex compiler api documentation and it isn't what I want.
Does anyone know what this "part" of Flex is that I am talking about, but can't remember?
Thanks,
Vance

No, thanks, but that wasn't what I was thinking of.
What I remember looking at was some library that allowed wrapping Flex UI componnts in Java Swing components. Then the Swing components could be used in the Java app. One main objective of my wrapping Flex in Java is to use flash.media.Video class to play flash video.

Wish To Use Flex 2 For My University Project

Dear All
I am a mature student studying a Computer Science Degree in
the UK .
For my final year project, I am creating a Stock Market
Simulation with a Database back end (e.g. SQLite ?) and some kind
of front end, both to be run a a stand-alone machine.
I have a 28 weeks to design, build and run it for my
supervisors. I would like to push myself academically by building
the software using Flex 2, for the GUI and even to carry out any
calculations or processing needed for the simulation to operate
correctly.
My questions are
1) Is it possible to create the simulation as I can find no
definitive way to connect Flex 2 directly to a database back end in
a similar way to ADO.net?
2) If it is possible which book do you recommend to get the
best and quickest results out of Flex 2?
Thanks In Advance
Steven

You are correct, Flex does not natively connect to any
database. Further, security restrictions on both the browser and
the Flash Player prevent access to *any* client resources, such as
the filesystem.
So if you use standard Flex, you will need some back-end web
technology. This can be almost any platform/language you choose.
Now, the newest, coolest thing in the Adobe world is AIR. AIR
applications can be written using Flex, Flash, HTML and javascript,
and have full access to client asseets. AIR is essentially an
internet delivered desktop application.
AIR has SQLLite database built-in.
AIR is currently in public Beta. I do not know what will be
available as far as non-commercial or educational licensing when it
is realeased.
I don't have a book to recommend, but here is a partial list
of on-line resources:

Sharing code between Flex and AIR versions using library project

Hello everyone,
I'm developing an application that has both Flex and AIR versions. In order to share code between these apps, I created a library project and added all my code there. Now I've set the library project as a dependency for both Flex and AIR projects. Since there are some components that use the DataService object, I've added fds.swc and fds_rb.swc and fiber_rb.swc modules to the libs directory of the library project. No compile errors. Now, if I try to run my Flex application, I'm getting this error:
Variable mx.data::LocalStoreFactory is not defined.
I know that this error comes up when playerfds.swc is not present in the path. But that is not the case here. I have added playerfds.swc, fds.swc and related lib files to the build path.
If I go back and add the playerfds.swc file to the original library project, the error no longer appears. This is not a proper solution for me, since I need to share this project with AIR version also, and I cannot have both playerfds.swc and airfds.swc in the same project.. Has anyone faced an issue like this before?? What am I doing wrong??

What tools do developers use to create AIR 2.5.1 apps for TVs?

Developers can use the following tools:
AIR 2.6 SDK
Flash Professional CS5 Extension for AIR 2.5 (now an integral feature in Flash Professional CS5.5)
Flash Builder 4.5
Note: Developers can use the AIR 2.6 SDK for developing apps for AIR 2.5.1 for TV. In Flash Professional, set the publish settings to Adobe AIR 2.5. In Flash Builder, set the AIR namespace to 2.5 in the app descriptor file:
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.5">.
If you are using Flash Builder 4.5, you must do the following:
1.Download the Flex 4.1.0.16076 SDK.
2.Download the AIR 2.6 SDK.
3.Copy each file from the AIR 2.6 SDK into the corresponding directory within the Flex 4.1 SDK, replacing the Flex original variants.
4.To use this SDK within Flash Builder, select your project in the Flash Builder package explorer.
5.Choose Project > Properties to open the project's Properties dialog box.
6.Select Flex Compiler in the list and then click the "Configure Flex SDKs" link to open the Preferences dialog box.
7.Click the Add button, browse to the SDK, and then click OK until you get back to the project's Properties dialog box.
8.Click the "Use a specific SDK" option and then pick Flex 4.1 from the drop-down menu.
You must also replace the default WindowedApplication element with Application in your project's MXML file.

Hmmm...
Not the rankings, I get from column B of the data above:
Morning Glory (20) ranks 1st in R,
Binghamton Bearcats (26) and Roy Hobbs (18) tied for 2nd, and
Tommy John (23) 4th
I'd make the top four:
1 Binghamton (26)
2 Tommy John (23)
3 Morning Glory (20)
4 Ventura Highway, The American Dream, Roy Hobbs (18)
Extracting the rankings is fairly simple, using RANK. But the data layout, with totals in non-contiguous cells, makes it impossible to use RANK without first gathering the totals into consecutive rows.
To do that, I made a small revision to the Total labels in column A of the supplied table, to make each label distinct from the others. The addition was a two letter prefix identifying each team, seen here in a sample set of rows and columns from the table:
The new, distinct labels were used as a search key for VLOOKUP, to transfer all of the totals onto a second table, Totals, using this formula, entered into Totals::B2, and filled down and right to the rest of the cells in columns B to O of that table:
With the data thus arranged, it became possible to rank the totals in each column, using the formula below,
Entered into Ranks::B2, then filled right and down to O9: =RANK(Totals :: B2,Totals :: B,)
Finally, a second VLOOKUP formula retrieved the rank values from Ranks, and placed them into the appropriate cells on the Data table:
Enter into Data::B5: =VLOOKUP(LEFT($A4,2),Ranks :: $A:$O,COLUMN(),FALSE)
Confirm the entry by clicking Accept, then Copy. (Note: copy the cell; do NOT select and copy the formula from the entry bar.)
In each Rankings row:
Click on the cell in column B, Shift click on the cell in column O (selects all cells in the row except the label in column A)
Paste
Repeat for next Rankings row.
Done.
Regards,
Barry
