I'm still a newbie to Adobe Air/Flex, and still fairly new with SQL. I've downloaded this (http://coenraets.org/blog/2008/11/using-the-sqlite-database-access-api-in-air…-part-1/) code and have been looking over it and I'm trying to implement the same idea. I think it's just something stupid. I'm using Flex Builder. I made a new deskto...

What's all this business about Flash, Flex, Adobe Air, Java FX and Silverlight? Why would I choose one over the other? and what happened to Java Applets and ActiveX controls? Oh, and where does AJAX fit in to all this? and is Laszlo relevant? Afteredit (in response to some "d'uh" type answers): the question is a bit tongue-in-cheek. I ...

In my Flex interface, I've got a few List components that are data bound to ArrayCollections. I'm finding that when the ArrayCollections are updated (by Web services) and the data bindings for the Lists update, each List is reset and its selectedIndex is dropped. This is a problem if a user is in the middle of a task and has already sele...
This is related to this question. I'm writing a Flex app (a WindowedApplication) that uses REST. Everything's fine when I post with valid authentication, but if I happen to pass an invalid username or password to the REST API (a Twitter REST API, to be specific), an authentication dialog pops up. That's not a desirable user experience, ...
I have previously used DTO in Flex which is mapped to a PHP DTO file. I used PHP through remoteobject (AMFPHP) to retrieve info from a MySQL database which is converted into the DTO type and then passed back to Flex to populate Datagrid. The data used to populate the Datagrid is an ArrayCollection of DataVO, as follows. Public Function...

I have a Flex 3 app (player v9) which loads a Flash SWF (AS3, also player v9) and needs to dynamically pass it a collection of parameters which are known at run-time. These are parameters that are normally passed via the flashvars element in an HTML page. The embedded movie accesses these parameters via the loaderInfo.parameters object. ...
Now I must be missing something here, as this seems a very basic issue that would be addressed in any "Getting started with Flex charting" tutorial. However, all that I could find was hints that the chart should update automatically whenever the dataProvider changes. Mind you, hints. This is my markup: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf...

I'm currently a .NET developer, but I'm starting to work with Flex a little bit and I've found the community to be great. There are a lot of great resources out there, but one of the issues I'm running into conceptually is how to organize a flex project. Coming from the standpoint of a "traditional" ASP.NET web application I'd create f...
