  • Quick JSFL: Component Code Generation

    When creating new forms, the repitition of defining the form buttons and then attaching them in my init function gets old, quick. Until I update my Class Creator, here’s the next best thing using JSFL. You type in your component’s name (ex: cancel_pb), and click OK, then type in your class name (ex: mx.controls.Button), type in your class’s symbol name (ex: Button), and it’ll put the code you need in the Output window. If you don’t hit cancel (or leave a field blank), it’ll keep going. Save as a JSFL file, preferably in your Commands folder so you can re-use it.

    As I get more comfortable with my new development server, I’ll re-upload all of my files. Until there, here’s a new one.

    I attempted, twice, to create a front-end client for the online blogging service LiveJournal. The first was a component in MX, but failed because of cross-domain security issues. Central at least asks for permission, but the XML-RPC was so convoluted, I got really frustrated and gave up on this project.

    Anyway, one man’s trash is anothers treasure.

    Rather than investigate Flex today, I instead read about the Flash & ColdFusion community?s reaction to Flex? release.
