Virtual Earth in Flex
With the new FABridge, does that mean devs can embed Virtual Earth onto Flex as well?
Thanks.

What can I do with Flex2? Is this a hype?
You can do a lot with Flex 2, that's a pretty wide question. No hype whatsoever, you can download and use Flex 2 today. I suggest downloading the beta, reading the documentation to familiarize yourself with Flex 2 first, and uses for it should become apparent quickly:

And PLEASE sign your comments- otherwise they may be removed by the admins. thanks!

Challenging Question - Flex-Ajax Bridge with Drag and Drop
Can you use the Flex-Ajax Bridge to drag a flex component or item in a flex component and drop it into _another_ flex application in a totally different browser window?
Thanks,

Flex 1.5
Hello !
Is there any version to use in Flex 1.5 environment ? I have some legacy code that needs the FABridge features.
Tks, Michel.
Re: Flex 1.5
Hi Michel,
To my knowledge there is no version that supports Flex 1.5.

Changes of supported methods from FABridge in FlashPlayer8.5 to FlashPlayer9.0
The following code sets the fill property of a ColumnSeries to gradient fill, it works FABridge FlashPlayer8.5, but in the current FABridge FlashPlayer9.0 the method fill is undefined. Is there a another way to set the fill property using gradient?
var linGrad = flexAppObj.create("mx.graphics.LinearGradient");
linGrad.setAngle(0);
var gradEntries = new Array();
for(var i=0; i<ColorSchemes[csi]["color"].length; i++){
var gradEntry = flexAppObj.create("mx.graphics.GradientEntry")
gradEntry.setRatio(ColorSchemes[csi]["ratio"][i]);
gradEntry.setColor(ColorSchemes[csi]["color"][i]);
gradEntries.push(gradEntry);
}
linGrad.setEntries(gradEntries);
s1.fill(linGrad);

Why?
If I am already familiar with AJAX and Ruby why do I need to learn another thing like MXML. Why did Macromedia/Adobe decide to not stick to standards and build something else? I already got severely burned spending time on the now dead ColdFusion. Is there value in Flex that I cannot get from the AJAX and Flash I know already?

Re: Why?
Damn Ajax flame once again. Go ahead and implement iScrybe in DHTML. Flex is Flash with declarative things that make your life 1000 times easier. If you're happy with only Rails and Prototype, no need to learn anything else. But if you aren't....

Errors out when inside form tag like ExternalInterface?
Since FABridge utilizes ExternalInterface, it suffers from the same bug which renders it unusable if your swf is inside a form tag. This is a complete deal breaker for me so I really hope ExternalInterface gets fixed. Soon.
Hi guys, a bug on this problem has been already submitted to the Flash Player team, and we will try to fix this issue. In the meantime, have you tried appending <form></form> immediately after the initial form tag? This seems to be a workaround for this problem at this moment.

Flex-Ajax bridge with webservices
Hey...!
I have a Flex application that calls a webservice to get some data. When the amount of data that is to be returned is large, the flex UI has to wait until the data is completely returned...and this leads to a non-responsive UI sometimes. I was thinking if it would be a good idea to marry the Flex-Ajax bridge and the web services so that the UI can still continue to thrive in all its liveliness while the data can be fetched and updated without the user knowing a thing. Is this possible at all?
Thanks in advance!

Flex-Ajax bridge compiler option
the article mentions to pass in the --actionscript-classpath flag to specify the fabridge src directory, but this does not work with mxmlc
instead, you can use -source-path+=/path/to/fabrigde/src
the documentation should be updated for those using the compiler and not the builder...
--eleith.com
On my PC doesn't work
Point 6 of Download and install say: Make sure you access the samples through http:// URLs and not file:// URLs. The Flash Player security sandbox may prevent them from working correctly if accessed as local files.
There isn't any solution to circumnavigate this "feature" ?
