Hi, This is another of my 'lessons learned' posts that may be of use to someone attempting a similar endeavour. After countless hours and a lot of help, I have managed to get an AIR Native Extension incorporating simple Image Magick functionality working. Although, so far at least, I have not achieved my ultimate objective, I do have an AIR native extension incorporating simple Image Magick functionality working on my PC. The 'ultimate objective' was to create a Windows exe file/application which could be installed on anyone's PC without the need for that PC to have Image Magick a

Hi Mr. Larry, I just begin to learn Flex after preparation of PHP & MySQL, And, I'm kind of confused about usefulness of FLEX, you know, hmtl5 is here, and also got so many third party frames about css and html, Should I pay much attention to flex learning? Does it turn out to be obsolete? Best wishes, Kelvin

Hi, After a bit of sweat and tears, I finally managed to get a FLEX/AIR native process to work and Larry encouraged me to post it in case it is of interest. A bit of background: Since the publication of Larry's book, Adobe released version 4.6 of FlashBuilder as well as the 4.6 SDK. This and subsequent versions support a capability called 'native process' which enables a FLEX/AIR application to call another application which would normally run in a DOS box (Windows) or the equivalent in a Mac. This capability enables you to put a user-friendly front end (UI) onto an application th

Hi Larry, Would you advise me on how to proceed with a project. I am wondering what tools you would recommend to 're-do' the capablilites created here with Flex. www.unlockspanish.com Would Edge w/ javascript be a good alternative, or something else. I'm wondering also if you think Apache has breathed new life into Flex with it's 4.9 release. Thanks in Advance.

I just finished your books on PHP and am wanting to focus my efforts now on more front-end development. Even after doing research, I'm still caught wondering if I should invest my time in learning Flex since everyone is quick to suggest that anything related to flash is dying a slow death and HTML5 is the future. Recognizing the incredible investment it takes to be well versed in a new language / framework what would you suggest? Does Adobe Edge suggest that Adobe is even moving away from Flash, AND their is the ultimate big gorilla of iOS mobile development never happening for flash. I ho -
Dear Larry, I recently got your book and eagerly read it (I've read and tried 7 chapters in 3 days). I knew Flex when version 3 was in beta, but never programmed anything. I've just finished chapter 8 and tried to bind the drop down list showing the Departments using a simple query to the database in the same fashion you populate the grid with the employees. The PHP file i'm using is (getDepartments.php): <?php header('Content-Type: text/xml'); echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><departments>'; require_once('mysql.inc.php'); $dbc = mysqli_connec
