Flex is to ActionScript as ColdFusion is to Java

May 15th, 2008

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 :-)

.SWF, .SWC, Lib Class Mapper…???

April 17th, 2008

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?

Embed Text in Flex Application, Why?

April 11th, 2008

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.

Yakov

March 28th, 2008

I realize this is old news by now, but if you have never seen Yakov Fain’s DaoFlex tool (it’s free by the way) you really need to check it out.

DAOFlex is an open-source tool that automates some of the routine tasks in developing Adobe Flex 2 business applications. Specifically, DAOFlex can take a SQL query and a simple Java class and automatically generate, compile, and prepare all required files for the deployment of a data-driven Flex 2 application.
