Integration with FLex2

Hi guys:
Can we have a tutorial on Lightstreamer with Flex2? I can not open those .fla files that come with the download. Could you please post the source code here? Thanks a bunch.;)

Hi,

I guess you are referring to the Flash/Flex integration through the JavaScript Bridge (a new integration SDK will be released soon based on a native ActionScript client library).

You can find the integration bridges (JS and AS) in the Lightstreamer distribution under "Lightstreamer\DOCS-SDKs\sdk_client_flash_flex(js_bridge)\lib".

The full API docs are under "\Lightstreamer\DOCS-SDKs\sdk_client_flash_flex(js_bridge)\jsdoc".

Two examples, with full source code, are under "\Lightstreamer\DOCS-SDKs\sdk_client_flash_flex(js_bridge)\examples".

Hope that helps.

Hi Alex.
What I was looking for is Integration with FLex2(http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/), which uses mxml scripts and action scripts. By the way. I do not have any program that can open the .fla src files. Could u please post the src code here? I might be able to adapt it for Flex 2

Hi Yan,

We will release a full native Flex SDK pretty soon (presumibly in July). It will be based on ActionScript 3.0 and will leverage mxml.

Regarding the FLA source code, we'll post it as soon as possible (I'm afraid we won't be able to do that before next week). The FLA file is the editable project file saved by the Flash development program.

:D I will keep an eye on it

Hi,

Find attached the Actionscript code from the file demoFlashSmall.fla.
Note that it is not the complete source as the .fla file is a binary file (not a mxml file) so that the visual part is not included here:

Code Actionscript:

Please substitute "& # 9 1 ;" with "[" as the Actionscript highlighting changed the code.

Hope that helps.

Alex,
Do you have a better idea of the time frame on new Flex SDK?

Hi,

The new Flex SDK is currently under beta testing. If you are interested in trying the current pre-release, please just get back to support@lightstreamer.com.

Cheers
