Re: [Intaller] Speed up download

2013-09-16 Thread Tom Chiverton
I'm not sure I see the point of using AS workers anyway. You can chunk 
the download on the main thread to prevent (too much) stalling, and 
it'll work on Linux without any added complexity.

Scale-9 Design Tools for FXG files in Apache Flex

2013-09-16 Thread Sebastian Mohr
Just wanted to know if you have a recommendation what would be the quickest
way to add scale-9 information to FXG files. For PNG files I usually use
Flex Builder 3 which has a "Edit Scale Grid" Button in the CSS file "Design
View" [1], but, for FXG files there seems to be no quick solution. Thanks
in advance.

RE: [Intaller] Speed up download

2013-09-16 Thread Frédéric THOMAS
Hi Tom,

Yeah, that's a good idea even if I don't see how it could be less stalling
relative to using another thread.
The thing that scare me though is the InstallApacheFlex.mxml is more than
2200 lines long, using chunks would either make it grow up or I would have
to split it in pieces, I really want to try to be unobtrusive as much as I
can and as Nick said, if we use chunks, it will be the overhead of managing
them and glue them together at the end creating  more complexity.

On the other side, using worker creates more complexity too to make it work
for Linux, I started to have a look at the AS3-Worker-Compat, I'm not sure
it could fit my needs yet, I need to dig into more.

So, at the end, I'm not sure what solution is the best, maybe you already
have experiences with chunk download or even a lib that abstracts the chunk
usage and want to share it with us though ? (which would be great)

Even though they are vectors, they are built for a particular form factor.
When using it the user might want to use it in a different form factor but
still expect it to scale correctly. We do that a lot in the Flex Mobile
skins, ex. [1]

Re: Scale-9 Design Tools for FXG files in Apache Flex

2013-09-16 Thread OmPrakash Muppirala
Here is a very good set of instructions on how to build and use FXG skins
[1].  Apparently you can edit FXG using the design view of Flash Builder
(not sure which version you tried)

>From the article, here are the restrictions when using scalegrids in FXG.
Do you have any of these in your skins?

=
Scale grid

Scale grids have some limitations that must be considered when designing
graphics using FXG.

Scale grid values must be inside the boundaries of the graphic and must not
overlap (that is, left boundary < scaleGridLeft < scaleGridRight < right
boundary).

Scale grids will not work if the graphic contains any Group elements.

Scale grids will not work if elements have alpha applied. Instead, apply
alpha to the stroke and fill elements.

Try removing the RichText out and put on a separate group in the button

I don't know much about the rules for scaleGrid and skins.  I haven't
spent any time in that area.

But again, Path and Text are still vectors.  You shouldn't need scaleGrid

FlexUnit Tutorials

2013-09-16 Thread Cyrill Zadra
Hi

Just pushed a branch FlexUnitTutorials in flexunit repo. It contains all
tutorial sources (binaries are excluded). As an example I added a
downloads.xml to Unit1/Start/FlexUnit4Training, which contains download
targets for each library. A FlexUnit tutorial user could checkout the
source code for each unit and download those dependencies automatically
through ant file.

We could also add some information how to use the tutorials at Apache Flex
website. There might be a FlexUnit tutorial section in near future.

Do you think this way would be acceptable for flexunit tutorials? Any
suggestions?

If yes I would continue to create a download.xml file for each project and
there might be somebody who could start migrating the website for those
tutorials.

Cyrill

Do you know if that is a player restriction or more code would make it
work?

I havent looked at the code, but it looks like it is a restriction in the
SDK.  Flash's DisplayObject does support the scale9grid property[1]
