Flex 2 Pagination (1 of 3)

augiemarcello — Thu, 10 May 2007 12:31:45 +0000

The Flex 2 / Actionscript 3 Pagination example is intended to step through a large amount of data and give the user the ability to view it in manageable chunks instead of all at one time.

This first display example of three which I will be releasing iterates through a Collection and calculates amount of data you would like to show based on your initial input. It will create a group of buttons based upon paginated values. Each button will be given two values which will then be used to filter on collection and grab corresponding data.

In the next pagination example I will be using a display which utilizes the next and previous buttons as shown in Google image below:

Flex 2 URLLoader with XML Parser

augiemarcello — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 02:26:35 +0000

I have been working with Adobe Flex since v1.0 you know when it was called Macromedia Flex. Within my 2+ years of working with Adobe Flex I have written tons of AS2 and AS3 code and have created many prototypes. Now that I take the train from Hamilton NJ - NY everyday to get to work/back I have time to go through and post allot of my code and prototypes (so visit often).

With that being said I present you with a basic URL Loader example. This example is pretty cut and dry. You pass it the path to a XML Document. It will Load the document and then parse the document with my XMLParser util. The XML parser class stuffs the data into an Array Collection and updates the view. Just note that there are MANY ways to accomplish this goal, and what I’m presenting is just one of various ways. Note: You can also load other file types with the URLLoader. Comments, Concerns, etc.. are Welcome.
Enjoy,

-Augie.

Cairngen

augiemarcello — Sun, 07 Jan 2007 22:32:55 +0000

Well my buddy Eric Feminella is at it again. He has created Cairngen. Cairngen is a code generator for Adobe Cairngorm which allows us developers to easily and consistently generate Cairngorm project structures. No more ctrl+c ctrl+v when we need to create a new cairngorm sequence. If you develop using the Cairngorm Microarchitecture then this is a must:

Keep up the phenomenal work Eric.
