I will be back soon!!

It has been six month I last updated this blog. There are many thing happening in life at this time. Settling down to the new place of work and stay. Managing multiple roles in the organization and lot of other stuff that is keeping me busy now a days.

There are many things happening in the country which is also causing lot of concerns like terrorism, communalism, economic crisis. I am getting an urge to be an active blogger again would like to post many things which I am enjoying doing curretly like MySQL, Flex 3 and 4, Modular flex apps, Server optimization, Amazon EC2 to name a few. I am getting my hands on so many things at the same time but I have made a promise to myself that I will dedicate atleast 2 hrs a day to actively blog about something which I found it very interesting and I think that somewhere it will help some one to solve some problem.

Till then.. Keep an eye  here!

Cheers!

PodTech:The Architecture of Flash

Good Work Ely!
Really nice podtech to understand the architecture of Flash

[podtech content=http://media1.podtech.net/media/2007/04/PID_011047/Podtech_Adobe_Flex_Announcement_Whiteb.flv&postURL=http://www.podtech.net/home/scobleshow/2827/the-architecture-of-flash&totalTime=1773000&breadcrumb=98439cdf-6f55-4eba-a454-69a11a504168]

Got SilverLight!!!!

Yesterday Microsoft announces the much awaited WPF/E branding it as SilverLight. I had not heard some story behind this name still I checked it out and downloaded some sample applications, but its really disheartening to see what they have given as samples

Copied the concept of Flex book component which is having less functionality!!!

Definately I am not impressed by this, there is a growing community of Flex developers and we have really good ideas implemented. If you want to compete show us something new and original

If anyone wants to look at it –>

Resizing the Map by dragging the container

I got the question again from Girish He was trying to resize the map whenever you try to  change the size of the vdividedbox component.

Here is the link –>

http://digitallyinsane.wordpress.com/2007/04/05/show-the-marker-on-the-map-on-the-click-on-the-map/

I tried to digg in to the problem and found out that if u want to change the size of the map on resizing the container you need to provide the min width and min height in the source provided by yahoo

Check out this article in Flex docs

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=00001733.html 

Its saying about setting the minimum height and width of the component and my guess is that u have to set that in the  YahooMapService.as file.

I am trying to look into that but busy with some other work.

Here is one more alternative that can be done

Instead of putting a container inside the vdividedbox and putting a map inside it, put map directly inside the vdividedbox and set the width and height of the yahoo map component as 80% and you will be able to resize it.

Here is the code

<mx:VDividedBox id=”vdb” right=”5″ top=”5″ bottom=”5″ left=”285″ >

<yahoo:YahooMapService
id=”myAS2Map”
UUID=”12345″
swfDomId=”{SWFDOMID}”
apiId=”{YAHOOAPIKEY}”
mapURL = “{MAPSWF}” height=”80%” width=”80%”
x=”10″ y=”10″/>

<mx:Canvas height=”100%” width=”100%” >
<mx:Label
text=”Add Components here”
fontWeight=”bold”/>
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:VDividedBox>

I hope this helps.

If there is anything else do write it to me.

Cheers!
