Flash :: Web Based Visual Programming Interface Based On Python For Data Visualization
Nov 4, 2011I just discovered impure.com and was very impressed by what can be achieved in terms of visualizing data using their workspace. Although the platform is free to use, but not open source yet. This causes a few problems because the API section works with .com sites for eg. for ebay, so I cannot visualize ebay listings for regional sites such as ebay.in because the link to ebay.com is hardcoded.I searched around, but didn't find other projects that offer a similar way to work with site APIs and other data sources with the kind of user interface and detail that impure.com does in a realtime way within a browser window.This brings me to the questions:
-What technologies would be involved in creating a similar kind of project
-What are the open source tools that can help develop a fullscreen UI to render the workspace. Are there any alternatives to flash for this, and how do they compare
The goal would be to use standard python data structures, python scripts to do some processing on these data structures, scripts to gather data from csv, json and API sources such as google yahoo, wikipedia and flickr, and scripts to render graphs, tag clouds, network visualizations etc. Then bring them all together into a visual interface that supports drag drop and simple type checking.How would the python backend integrate with the UI.

View 2 RepliesJavascript :: AJAX Or Something Else For A Web-based Demo Interface?
Dec 3, 2009My company has some software which we use to acquire data and interact with some hardware. If we wanted to put a mockup on a website which allows the user to get a feel for the UI (gather some data, change some settings etc.), what are some good methods to do so?I'm thinking either some clever javascript or flash. I've done some JS before but only to style elements of a page. I did some stuff with flash about 8 years ago and found it really fiddly.
So my questions; Are javascript/flash reasonable solutions for this or is there something better. What is likely to be the simpler/quicker route? Is there a better way to achieve the end result?] The demo doesn't need real data, just some fake/dummy example stuff is fine.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Keyboard-based Interface Navigation?
Sep 27, 2011I want to create an interface navigatable through keyboard. The interface is somewhat like nested DVD menus, and it is not known in advance how many buttons there will be or where they will be placed. So for example you would be on button 1, if you press right, the closest button to the right would be selected. how would I go about enabling this? The purpose is to enable keyboard navigation for complex management screens for a game I am doing;
I would like this to be as independant and reusable as possible, which means I would like it to work with any clickable object, not just buttons, and certainly not my own custom class of buttons. This also means the buttons might be placed through the flash IDE and so placing them on a grid is not an option (I'd like this to be easy to use for non-techies).
My thinking goes like this: add all buttons to a manager, then select the first one, then on keypress, triangulate and select the closest in an angle of (+45degrees,-45degrees) of direction pressed. But it seems overkill to me, and I guess in some edge cases, some buttons will be forever unselectable.

Aug 9, 2010I am trying to build a experimental interface (menu, text etc) which is based on a fine grid of points, on which i try to render custom fonts and shapes, by connecting the dots. I would store coordinates for characters (O consists of 4 lines for instance) and render them in an animation line by line, character by character.(this non interactive version is my first step)My question is, what would be the best way to store such a font collection, and execute the above. Any Thoughts? all ideas are welcome
View 1 RepliesFlash :: Python - Text-based One-on-one Chat With Interface: What To Power The Backend
Apr 22, 2010I'm building a website where I hook people up so that they can anonymously vent to strangers. You either choose to be a listener, or a talker, and then you get catapulted into a one-on-one chat room. The reason for the app's construction is because you often can't vent to friends, because your deepest vulnerabilities can often be leveraged against you later on. (Like it or not, this is a part of human nature. Sad.)
I'm looking for some insight into how I should architect everything. I found this neat tutorial, [URL], which suggests using python & stackless + flash. Someone else suggested I should try using p2p sockets, but I don't even know where to begin to look for info on that.
Flex :: Make A Container Resize Based On The Size Of Its Contents?
Mar 16, 2010I'm trying to create a Flex application that can automatically shrink based on the size of the components that it contains, so that a user can shrink it to a minimal view to see more of the HTML page it's embedded in.
I know how to change the size of the whole application using ExternalInterface, but I'm having trouble automatically figuring out how much the size changed when something is hidden or shown.
For example:
Let's say I have the following flex layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical">
<mx:VBox width="100%" paddingTop="0" paddingBottom="0"
[Code]....
How can I hide one of the text fields and cause the VBox to shrink? I'm currently setting it to visible = false, but that doesn't seem to affect the parent VBox.
Once the VBox shrinks, how can I detect that the Application no longer needs so much space, and then go about figuring out how much less space it needs?
I've tried using ResizeEvent, but I haven't been able to get them to work, but I could be doing something wrong.
Flex :: Make Default Attribute Values In XML Get Parsed In Based On XSD Schema?
Jun 16, 2009I have an xml with an xml-schema. The xml-schema defines an abstract complex type with 2 optional attributes that have default values. Then I have several complex types that extend the base one. And finally nodes of the types defined.So I load the xml and when I parse each node, the optional attributes are not present at all.I've tried fooling around with the namespaces, even[code]...
No luck. Something similar was being experienced by this guy on codingforums, but that was like 5 years ago. Same is happening to me with firefox 3.0.11 - the xml is shown without the default attributes.For now I'm setting the default values in code, but isn't there a way to make them available from the xml-schema?[code]...

Flash :: Creating An Instance Of A Class That Implements An Interface Based On The Class Name?
Feb 17, 2011Is there a way to generate an instance of a class that implements an interface based on the name of the class?
I am trying:
var ClassReference:Object = getDefinitionByName("movement.OuterSpaceMovement") as IMovement;
var m:IMovement = new ClassReference as IMovement;
trace("startup..." + m);
-But I am getting an error message ReferenceError: Error #1065 (OuterSpaceMovement) not defined.
I have several classes that implement the same interface (IMovement) but I need to be able to generate new instances of these classes and then pass these instances as a datatype (IMovement datatype) to other classes...
So then I tried:
var ClassReference:Class = getDefinitionByName("OuterSpaceMovement") as Class;
var m:IMovement = new ClassReference() as IMovement;
and this doesn't seem to work...but the following
var m:IMovement = new OuterSpaceMovement();

Sep 3, 2009I am overriding the addItem() function of an array collection and I would like to detect if the added item implements a particular interface. Previously I used the, is operator to detect the class type, but now that I am using an interface for classes I would rather test to see if the object implements the interface. I expect I could just try and cast the object as the interface and see if it's not null. Is this the best way to do it? I could also just create a new addFunction() that only accepts objects of the interface type.

View 3 RepliesFlex :: PureMVC: Unique Mediator For Each Tab In An Interface?
Oct 12, 2009I am building a tabbed interface for switching between various similar layers. Each layer will have a number of graphs. By dragging with the mouse the graphs can be rearranged or even moved between layers. My question is, is it best practice to register a unique mediator for each layer that keeps track of the layers content / organization, or should i keep track of it all with one central mediator.some considerations:
the layer contents and organization will be saved(in a db) so that it can be restored when a user comes back to the app.the layers themselves are functionally identical.the user can add and remove layers at will.
Flex :: Create Interface Object In Mxml?

Jquery :: Vs Flex For Drag-n-Drop Interface
Nov 24, 2010I'm developing an application that will randomize a list of words, and display them to the user. The user will then be able to drag the box containing each word over a Cartesian plane, and drop it anywhere they like. They will also be able to link various words together on the same plane. Once a user has completed these tasks, I want to update a database with that user's data - the coordinates of each word, as well as any parent words that may exist for each word. I started developing the application in Flex, but I'm running into problems integrating the data manipulation. It might just be me, but I find the way Flex is structured to be very counter-intuitive. I'm playing around with shifting the project over to perhaps a JQuery build. I'm proficient in neither JQuery nor Flex, however, and I'm not sure which one will be easier to pick up and develop a working prototype with.
View 1 RepliesFlex :: Search Interface: Load XML Or Query DB?
Dec 30, 2010For a Flex application that is used to search and display results (no write operations), I am currently storing data in a relational database, but rather than querying the DB via the app, I am doing a nightly write of the data, including its relationships, to an XML file.Then, through Flex, I am loading that XML file, parsing it into custom Objects, and "querying" those objects as necessary.
It works well basically filtering an ArrayCollection of these Objects based on search criteria. Versus querying the DB, full text search, for instance, is extremely fast in this scenario.But what are some potential drawbacks? How valid is this approach?
