crucible wiki: Welcome to crucible!

Welcome to crucible!

Welcome to the crucible, a place to amalgamate ideas, code, techniques and approaches to what we have in common: creating the best RIAs and experiences on the web and desktop using the superb Adobe technologies that are available to us. This wiki is not affiliated with Adobe in any way, execept for the fondness in our hearts.

If you create a page & would like it to appear in the sitemap, at the bottom of the page you create you'll see a link to options. Click that and then choose the link "parent". Type in "start" and you're done.

Visitors: TO MAKE CHANGES, look at the bottom of each page, there is an edit link. Use that to edit. On the left side there is a text input field. Name the page and click Add Page. Then to have it show up in the Sitemap, click Options, parent and use "start" without the quotes.

AXNA and Fullasagoog are here just so you don't feel quite so lonely & also get recent RSS updates while you're here. AXNA seems to go down or break quite a bit though. If that keeps up, I'll have to axe it.

This wiki will only become worthwhile if people like you take the time to contribute to it. I surely plan on adding some material & I hope that you do too.

This ActionScript 3/Flex/AIR wiki was created with a few things in mind:

Establish another community-centric resource for aspiring/established developers.
Play with wikis - they seem to be pretty cool and allow easy participation.
Encourage learning and ego-stroking which benefits all of us.

Don't be a moron, okay? As long as the wiki is treated in a nice fashion, it will exist.

Is The Database A Poor Step-Child?

1257619800|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Databases are so important to us, in many ways, they are the number one dependency we deal with in ColdFusion and yet, in many ways, we treat them as ignored step-children and I fear the advent of Hibernate ORM in CF 9 will make matters even worse. If client variables are in use, this becomes even more critical, tuning the database will always certainly yield more benefits than any amount of JVM tuning. By tuning I mean looking at indexing, affinities, CPU allocation, hard-drive layout, etc. All of theses things can yield immediate benefits or cause immediate pain if they are not

No more use for StructFind() ?

1257619620|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

For some reason I always forget about the one good use for StructFind(). (Thank goodness for old blog entries). Though it seems even that use is gone in ColdFusion 9. Can anyone think of another one?<cfoutput> #getSomeStructure()["dog"]# </cfoutput><cffunction name="getSomeStructure" returntype="struct"> <cfset var myStruct = {} /> <cfset myStruct.cat = "felix" /> <cfset myStruct.dog = "clifford" /> <cfreturn myStruct /></cffunction>

ColdFusion/ORM Example - Filtering with a many to many

Let me be clear - I'm not sure this is the best way to do this - but it worked and as it took me a while to Google up the answer and test it, I thought I'd share. Ok - so imagine an entity that has a many-to-many relationship. A good example is a ...

BOOK : Rich Internet Applications with Adobe Flex & Java

1257615720|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

I read this book looking for advanced topics on Flex.Since FlexJava is a totally unknown world to me, it thought it was a good one (in fact, it was the only one at the time I got it)Unfortunatly, only 2 of the 15 chapters were really interesting for me.Why ? it's too much for people ALREADY knowing Java, so I was totally lost on some of the more technical parts.I would say it's on my own fault, it's in the title "Flex AND Java"....So if you're not in Java part (yet), this book is still interesting for these chaptersChapter 7

New tool : Export To Android command

1257615720|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Export To Android commandThis little tool will help you to convert a Flash animation to an Android animation.No, it won't convert your .swf to an .apk, it will export from Flash IDE the current timeline animation to Android res.anim and res.drawable resources.Of course, the clip to export must be a timeline animation, not a script animation nor a multi depth animationThis Flash command must be installed throught the Adobe Extension Manager.You'll then be able- export each frame or each keyframe to alpha PNG- export using clip or movie size- convert fps to duration- skip empty frames (optional)- re-align to top

AIR update framework for Flash CS4

1257568680|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

While I was preparing for the upcoming eSeminar on AIR with Flash CS4, I researched on the topic of creating an AIR app that can detect version number and do update automatically. I found the following article by Jeff Swartz very easy to follow. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flash/quickstart/update_framework.html It works perfectly. Still as I think about the whole process, I [...]

[AS3] Saving XML As Binary

1257545820|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

This could be useful if you have an external large, verbose XML file which your application must load during run-time. By saving the XML as binary, you can compress the data and get a much smaller file. Of course, the amount of compression you can get depends on the complexity of your data, [...]
