This will be a “how- to” chapter: we’ll save diving into the Spark component model until the next chapter (which discusses view states, containers, CSS styling, and skinning). This chapter provides enough examples of using Spark that when it comes time to tackle the theory you’ll have plenty of examples in your head. In four of the five workshop sessions in this chap- ter, we’ll build a fairly small, self-contained Tes- ter.mxml app that has all the code in the example. In session 14, however, I’ll mix things up a little: we’ll build an “Only Connect” game (that bears strong resemblance to a certain trademarked game). We’ll start with a game board that I drew in Adobe Illustrator and saved as FXG. (I’m pro- viding the FXG file I created, so you don’t need to have Adobe Illustra- tor.) We’ll then build a fully functioning game based on this FXG, before 50 SESSION 11 Spark primitives 51 refactoring it and then adding logic for detecting victory.

With every new version Exploring the uses of Flash CS5 released, the possibilities have increased for imaginative and dynamic con- tent creation — for the Web and beyond. After Adobe acquired Macromedia Identifying Flash file types in 2005, Adobe has expanded Flash capabilities in several Creative Suite Introducing the structure of products, as well as development tools such as Adobe Flex Builder. The Flash documents Adobe user interface is consistent across powerhouse applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Flash, and Adobe Illustrator. In this chapter, I introduce Flash CS5 and explore the many possibilities available for your productions. I also discuss how Flash compares to or enhances other programs that you may be familiar with. Flash content can be viewed in a few different ways. The most common method is from within a Web browser, either as an asset within an HTML page or as a Web site completely comprised of a master Flash movie using several smaller Flash movies as loaded SWF assets. The Flash Player is also available as a stand-alone application (known as a projector), which can be used to view movies without needing a Web browser or the plug-in. This method is commonly used forCOPYRIGHTED deployment of Flash movies on CD-ROMs, MATERIAL floppy disks, or other offline media formats. With Adobe AIR, Flash content can be installed into computers as native desktop applications.

  • Simulation and Optimization User Interface:A Flex Application
    Henry Efor Simulation and Optimization User Interface: A Flex Application Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Engineering Information Technology Bachelor’s Thesis 4 March 2011 Author Henry Efor Title Simulation and Optimization UI (A Flex Application) Number of Pages 54 pages + 10 appendices Date 4 March 2011 Degree Bachelor of Engineering Degree Programme Information Technology Specialisation option Software Engineering Jaana Holvikivi, Principal Lecturer Instructors Taru Sotavalta, Language Instructor Jussi Rasinmaki, Instructor The goal of this project was to explain the steps taken to create a Graphical user interface (GUI) for the SIMO forest management-planning framework. This was achieved using the Flex Flash builder. The SIMO UI was built as a client-server. The method used in the project was to devise an experimental model that would make it easy to build the GUI with fewer codes and still makes it flexible and easy to maintain in the near future.Mapping the XML directly with the components model was finally used since it is the only popular method used frequently in encoding and decoding XML documents. The results obtained showed that the Flex Adobe datagrid was not fully developed for the project and as such, I had to create a custom datagrid, the datasheet. Furthermore, as at the time of building the GUI, there was no credible way to work with namespaced XML. This problem was later solved through a series of research and writing custom-components to suit the application.In conclusion, the goal of the project was achieved, flexibility and maintainability, but at the expense of excess codes.
