I have a C# web service which currently communicates with a Flex app using XML. It's not streaming data or anything, but still I'd like to lower the overhead involved. I have two questions: 1) would I see any benefit from using a technology like FluorineFX or WebORB in terms of reducing load on the server? The Flex clients won't perc...

However, the calculated width is not wide enough to accommodate the text. Is there a different order to achieve proper measurement or am I seeing a problem with the...
So far, I've had great success using PyAMF to communicate between my Flex front-end and my Django back-end. However, I believe I've encountered a bug. The following example (emphasis on the word "example") demonstrates the (potential) bug: My Flex app contains the following VO: package myproject.model.vo { [Bindable] [RemoteC...
We are planning to develop a Flex application that must make AMF calls to retrieve data from a secure server. However, we are not allowed to connect directly to that secure server with AMF. We can only make WSDL/SOAP or .net remoting calls to the secure server. Therefore, all instances of the flex application running on a client machi...

To get Facebook integration working in the way I've got it currently, I need to read the cookies set in javascript on the front end on the back-end and do some validation during login to see whether the user is attempting to spoof his Facebook login.

I have a method to add an XML node structure to the currenltly selected tree node. This appends the xml, and opens the parent node to display the newly added node. I then select the node by setting the selectedItem of the tree. I have an editing form that updates its values on the tree change event. When I set the selectedItem in th...
I find that my Flex application's UI becomes unresponsive during very long processing loops (tens of seconds). For example, while processing very large XML files and doing something per-element... Is there an equivalent of "ProcessMessages"? That is, a call that would tell Flex to continue responding to UI events, even in the middle of ...

We have an internal Flex application which has been designed more through feature creep than by any kind of clear vision. It's basically a kind of CRM and reporting system which utilises quite a lot of Flex components (trees, graphs, custom components, datagrids - all sorts) and talks to a .NET webservice backend. It was initially my fi...
