Dispatch an event chain using Swiz
05. April 2009 19:47One of the major problems I faced in Flex development more than once was how to dispatch an event chain in series or parallel mode. If you want to use event chain to call a service (Webservice or RemoteObject), which is an async call, you always have to commit a result/fault handler with this event. So at the end an event class looked like this:
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | public class MyEvent extends Event { public var result:Function; public var fault:Function; public var username:String; public var password:String; public function MyEvent(type:String, result:Function, fault:Function, username:String=null, password:String=null) { super(type); this.result = result; this.fault = fault; this.username = username; this.password = password; } } |

Cairngorm vs. Swiz
03. April 2009 12:45Cairngorm is almost old as the Flex product line itself, and was also the first framework for Flex. It is therefore not surprising that there are countless projects in which Cairngorm is used and still be used for new projects. If you constantly work on changing projects, you have often not the time to look for alternatives and try them. I think that this is a reason why much Flex developers see Cairngorm as the Holy Grail of Flex frameworks.
I used Cairngorm too in many, if not in almost all projects. But often, I was pretty frustrated, because Cairngorm is in many cases inflexible, especially when it comes to reach a high level of reusability. And at the end you have still a lot of source code and many classes.

Display HTML Text in Alert control
11. February 2009 14:23Recently we had a question on flexforum.de how to display a HTML Text in the Alert control. By default it is not possible. When you analyze the source of the Alert respectively the AlertForm class you will figure out that the string is passed directly to the text property of the UITextField and there is now way to pass it to the htmlText property. So the only way would be to create a own Alert class.

Source code formatter for MXML/AS3
09. February 2009 16:26“If you build it, they will come” - something like that Ernest Pasour has thought and created a source code formatter Plugin for Flex Builder:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/flexformatter/
To install the Plugin, download first the Plugin JAR file and copy it into the /plugin directory of FlexBuilder/Eclipse. After that restart FlexBuilder/Eclipse with the -clean argument. Then you can find two new icons (Format Flex Code/Indent Flex Code) in the toolbar. You can also setup the format settings for MXML/AS3 by your own: Window -> Preferences -> Flex Formatting.
Now you can format your source code using the shortcut CTRL-SHIFT-F or over the toolbar icons.
Deactivate the post revision for WordPress 2.7
06. February 2009 19:08The first thing I’ve noticed after I installed WordPress 2.7 was the new revision function for posts. In some cases it may be a use full feature. But I wanted to deactivate it, but unfortunately there is no option to do this. So I’ve googled a bit and found a workaround.
Insert just those 2 lines in the wp-config.php file below the define ('WPLANG', ''); line:
define ('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 0); define ('AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 600);
So you can keep your database clean and minimize needless data.
Back in the land of the living
06. February 2009 18:53After over a year of no postings on this place, I decided to make a fresh restart for my blog. In the last weeks I’ve cleaned up the posts, made a thorough review over the content and setup the new WordPress 2.7. So now my personal resolution for the new year is to blog again and share some new things.
In the last year I changed the department in my company, work on a big project that changed my view and way of programming Flex. I learned so much, developed new stuff and this things I will share with you in the next time. So, stay tuned!
