SD Flex

Just a note… I spoke to Choudary Kothapalli over at MaintainJ, Inc. and he said they are looking into supporting ActionScript… If they do (Hint: write to them and ask them to) the round about way described below won’t be necessary.

Well, in the course of time, I’ve found a round about way of UML Class Mapping of ActionScript 3.0 projects…

Here’s how it goes…

1. Convert your AS3 files to Java (you can use the J2AS3 app that the guys over at PhysicsDev have made and provide for free I might add…give them a round of applause please ).
2. Get a copy of Visual Paradigms Smart Development Environment (plugin for Eclipse). The “Standard Version” is the lowest price version you can buy that has the [”Reverse engineer source code or executables to class diagrams using Instant Reverse feature”] feature and it costs $299 without any maintenance contract. NOTE: If you know of a free application that will do the same thing…please chime in! and save people $300.
3. Open the folder you saved all the files in from step one and then click “Instant Reverse” from the “Modeling” drop down menu at the top menu bar. Then select Java as the language and your done.

 Viola’… you now have a visual representation of your classes in any given project. It makes it much easier to see what you need to do when making decisions and for maintenance.

I must add that I don’t think it will be long before someone builds an app specifically for this purpose and if they add AS3 code generation, we’ll be REAL happy.

I was just thinking this morning… [ frightening, I know ] but anyway, I was thinking about ColdFusion and why some people don’t like it…and I think really it’s because they don’t get it.

If you’ve used Flex2 or Flex3, you know how EASY those MXML tags make writing ActionScript. I mean, if you understand ActionScript and have a good handle on the documentation and a little experience, you can write anything for the FlashPlayer in pure ActionScript and many people do. But if you’ve used Flex you know how EASY it is to write ActionScript code using MXML that compiles down to pure ActionScript.

Well, ColdFusion is really the same thing for Java. Does not all ColdFuion CF tags compile down to Java classes? So if you know Java, you “could” write the whole back end in Java, but why wouldn’t you use ColdFusion when it makes it so EASY??

And just like you can mix and match pure ActionScript code with MXML (in some predefined ways) you can mix and match ColdFusion with Java code (in some predefined ways).

Anyway, I know that is nothing new to most of you, but for relative newcomers like myself, it is like a beautiful awareness

I deleted my orginal post becuase it was the ramblings of a madman. :-)  Ok, just a very tired man late at night.

I still want to explore an possible application that will allow one to extract class relationships from a swf file or swc file, or even class libraries. It would be based on the import statements and would show class relationships graphically. So what do you say?

I just needed to make a clients web site into a projector file, but since I rarely embed assets (opting to load them at runtime), the projector file was not loading the text.

If you have even a slight interest in this, you know that embeding graphical assets is trivial. While embeding text from an external file is still trivial, it can be a little confusing until you see how it’s done.

So enjoy the code below, it is the easy way to embed text into your flex application. (I embedded html text by the way)

import mx.core.ByteArrayAsset;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;

[Bindable]
[Embed(source=”myText.txt”, mimeType=”application/octet-stream”)]
private var _myTextClass:Class;

var daTxt:ByteArrayAsset = ByteArrayAsset(new _myTextClass());
var daTxtStr:String = daTxt.toString();
textControl.text = daTxtStr;

or you could grab the ByteArrayAsset data this way:

var daTxtStr:String = daTxt.readUTFBytes(daTxt.length);

That’s it. Pretty simple after you see it done.
