Flex 3 SDK Vs. Flex 4 SDK – Part 5 – View States

In previous posts in the series we discussed new features in Flex 4 that are basic in nature (namespaces, an introduction to the new Spark components architecture and the new mxml tags to name a few).

In the next few posts we will discuss the more interesting stuff new with Flex 4 like FXG, states, layouts, effects and skinning.
So, without further ado, View States!

Flex 3 SDK Vs. Flex 4 SDK

Now that Flex SDK 4 was released, I thought I'd do a series of posts on the differences between Flex 3 and Flex 4 SDKs that will hopefully help migrate your Flex 3 app to Flex 4 or make the transition from SDK 3 to SDK 4 easier. I will be assuming you already know Flex 3 and will concentrate on the new in Flex 4 compared to Flex 3.

This post will serve as the index of the series, and I will be adding links to the different posts to this one as they become available, so come back from time to time to get updated.

ELIPS - Mobile Application Development in Flex Builder

ELIPS Studio 3 is a plug-in for Adobe Flex Builder,  which allows Flex to go mobile!

 

Can't wait to test it...

 

Anyone knows about alternatives?

load locale at runtime using resource modules

I was asked to find a way for separating our localization resources out of the application swf, so that different locales can be loaded at runtime.
Pretty quickly I found the "Using resource modules" help subject, which explains how to create, compile and load resource modules,  which are SWF files, separated from your application SWF, that contain resources bundles for a single locale.
While trying to set up a demo application (didn't found one) using the instructions in the help files, I bumped into several issues which I will explain here in hopes that it will save you the time, and added the sample app as well.

Flex group meeting - BlazeDS hands on

Hi all,

 

Our next Flex group meeting will focus on how to set up a BlazeDS connection from a Flex app to a Java server.

The meeting is not a BlazeDS lecture but rather a step by step demo.

You can bring your laptops for a hands on experience.

 

The meeting will be held at Tikal's offices (Habarzel 32A Tel-Aviv) on Tuesday, 1st of December, 09:30 , and will be presented by Yossi Shemer.

 

Cheers,

 

-Ilan

Stress test your Flex application using Jmeter and EC2 - Part 2

In part 1 we discussed Jmeter configuration.

In this part, we'll go over EC2 configuration

 

We’ll be using Amazon’s cloud computing service (aka EC2/S3).

I’ll be assuming you already have an account with Amazon. If you don’t, create one, and save the cert-XXX.pem and pk-XXX.pem key files.

Stress test your Flex application using Jmeter and EC2 - Part 1

A while back, a client needed to stress test his application.
Since I had some experience with JMeter before, and was eager to try out Amazon’s EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud), this was the setup I offered.
Turns out it worked remarkably well.


Detailed explanation and utility files/scripts follows…
In part 1 we'll discuss Jmeter configuration in detail.
In part 2 we'll go over the configuration procedure of EC2, and how to run the test on a distributed environment.

Introspection and private namespaces in AS3

Hello!

Today, we are going to discuss introspection and private namespaces in AS3/Flex!

 

The motivation to use private namespaces in the context of introspection is to be able to expose API implemented in your class in a way that is not public (everyone can use it), protected (only inheriting classes can use it) or private (only the class can use it).

 

Consider this: You are implementing a framework, and one of the classes (ClassA) is used both by the framework users (external) and within the framework (internal). That means that all the functionality in ClassA that is intended for external use must be public. Unfortunately, so does the functionality intended for internal use.
