GUI IDE need.
Regarding a GUI IDE, in one application, one of the larger modules has 1,390 lines of mxml code. One of 10 tabs in that module has 29 enterable "fields" another tab has over 50 enterable fields.
Attempting to create complex screens which are usable for the type of data entry these systems are used for would be difficult at best without using a GUI editor. If you are designing traditional web applications where everything is stacked and the user scrolls forever then yes you can do that without a GUI IDE. If however you want to design highly usable business applications deployed to thin clients (to use an ancient phrase) you need GUI tools to be productive.
My initial test application (very simplistic) for Royale can be found here, be sure to click everything; (If something doesn't work as expected, let me know, no data is stored)

Some of the The features I am looking for include canvas with x/y placement of items, multiple panels up simultaneously, etc.

Subject: Re: [Spam] :Re: Flex 4.16.1 broken for AIR33.1?
Hi Paul,
many years ago I must say that was completely true, for that reason I
started trying to introduce in my clients and projects Flash and AMF in
early 2000, first with Flash authoring tool, then with MTASC (someone
remember it? ;)), and then Flex was really what we just needed. That was
very disruptive compared with the html/js/css stack at that time.
Currently that's not true. Near 2020, js is like the bytecode in Flash and
Royale is the current Flex. So it's clear that you don't need to go very
"low level", but if you needed, you can do it! (and that's good). But
Royale should allow you to develop without the need to go that route. and
just use good proven patterns like Flex did. We're working towards
that...and I think we're already got it. :)
About GUI IDE, although I think is something very cool to have something
like that, I abandoned that kind of tools many years ago. Maybe in the
future I could be working in something like that, just for pleasure, but
for now there's still many work to do in Royale in things more needed.
Maybe others could drive that effort... But I really think the current
Royale coding is very straight forward to do. As well examples like Tour De
Jewel has a lot of code to see how things should be used and learn from it
a lot of good practices.

Re: GUI IDE need.
Posted by Piotr Zarzycki <pi...@gmail.com>.
Hi Alex,
We have different plan. We have currently Visual Editor which as part of
Moonshine IDE output Flex and PrimeFaces code, so it would be continuation
of that idea - the difference would be that we output Jewel Royale mxml
code.

Re: GUI IDE need.

Hi Ram,
You can find the project here, https://github.com/velara3/Radii8. I
haven't worked on it in a while. It should run as is but you might need
the modified resize handle swc. I don't know if I included that in repo
bc it was not originally my code (however all the code is cleared). If
not there let me know.
Once you get that running you can look at the exporter classes such as
the MXML exporter, HTML exporter, etc. You can then work on a Royale
Exporter. There is also internal browser if you wanted to do what Alex
suggested with live editing.
Note: The internal browser is very old and doesn't render SVG or support
some HTML features. There are companies who have updated the browser
with a new WebView or may update the internal browser (Harman).
The entire project was built from scratch. So you'll see after a while
that some sections of the project need refactoring or rewritten. Then,
once you get familiar with it you can see if it can be plugged into
moonshine or moonshine can be plugged into to it.
FWIW I researched the moonshine project when I started but it had been
abandoned already for a few years and I wanted to have a design view on
the web as well as desktop and moonshine at the time relied entirely on
desktop APIs.
There is some documentation in the repo on how to get it setup, how to
create new tools and so on. I have limited availability to work on
anything new but I can answer any questions and you can contact me
directly if you like.
BTW I'm currently working on a plugin for Adobe XD that exports to HTML.
I've been looking into exporting to MXML and other languages but haven't
started yet and would welcome help on that but based on your discussion
I don't know if that will fit your needs.
The original goal of the project was to create a design view for Flex
projects after Adobe removed the design view from Flash Builder.
Jude
PS Apache Flex has an official license and source donation for it's use
(see discussion list from years ago)

That's because you don't really know where in the DOM the Royale Application will end up.

Yes, as Alex said Flex was before, and was really the opposite. JavaFX was

I don't know anything about SceneBuilder. You are welcome to try it yourself or recruit others to do it. I'm still a fan of live-editing.
FWIW, I didn't think Flex was inspired from JavaFX. Flex shipped before JavaFX, IIRC.

Re: GUI IDE need.

I found this project which is for JavaFX and FXML. Since Flex was inspired from JavaFx and that
almost all the components in JavaFx are also available in Flex how about we use the SceneBuilder
for UI Design and then make a transpilation to MXML source code. Does this sound viable or not?

Hi Ramazan,
It would be awesome if you actually tested these technologies you linked to in order to verify their compliance and separate fact from fiction. In a quick look, some of these projects seem to not be current. IMO, it would be a better use of time to integrate an existing browser into an IDE than to try to integrate, update and maintain these other libraries. But I'm probably not going to be doing the work. So thanks for pointing out these other libraries and maybe someone or you will validate them.
Thanks

I would disagree with that because a while ago I went deep into the source code for the TLF framework in Flash and there was implementation of various HTML element which could be displayed directly in the Flash DisplayList.
IIRC, there is no guarantee that TLF would display anything similar to how a browser would do it, but it would render the same across Flash in all browsers. There was no compliant CSS implementation, for example, and no support for HTML5. That's why I'm saying it is easier/safer to just let the browser render.
There is also another project I saw which has a designer view written all in Flex... this could be taken and then injected inside Moonshine in a Loader with whom we could communicate back and forth if we want to export the structure to HTML or other framework.
We could ask the author of it to check how could we implement it.
The link below is for Radia8. Judah, the author has already chimed in one of these recent GUI threads.

It was a SWF app. But IIRC, the main work in DV was in the communications between the SWF and the FB Java code in Eclipse that displayed properties and managed alignment and alignment-guides and whatever else DV offered. IOW, it isn't that much SWF code to handle a request to set or return properties on an object with a particular ID in the DOM.

Maybe Basic Application could assume that it is top-level for simplicity, but other Application tag do not need to presume that and shouldn't. That's because you don't really know where in the DOM the Royale Application will end up. In Flex, you could wrap the SWF Object inside any amount of HTML and the SWF Object was a black box and the Flex app ran at the root of the SWF Object. In Royale, we probably can't and don't want to do that.

And the advantage of that is that the browser is doing the rendering so it is truly WYSIWYG. Any attempt to emulate an HTML renderer in AIR or Java/Eclipse or other IDE platforms would be concerning to me. I think you would get better fidelity if the IDE would run a browser in a window of the IDE and talk to it, and potentially do most of the UI in that browser window.

I would disagree with that because a while ago I went deep into the source code for the TLF framework in Flash and there was implementation of various HTML element which could be displayed directly in the Flash DisplayList.
There is also another project I saw which has a designer view written all in Flex... this could be taken and then injected inside Moonshine in a Loader with whom we could communicate back and forth if we want to export the structure to HTML or other framework.
We could ask the author of it to check how could we implement it.

Best regards
P.S. If you would like to have a reverse engineered images of all the diagrams I did in the past for the TLF please le me know I draw so many pages just for the sake of understanding.

I never looked too closely at the SWF portion of FB DV. It was a SWF app. But IIRC, the main work in DV was in the communications between the SWF and the FB Java code in Eclipse that displayed properties and managed alignment and alignment-guides and whatever else DV offered. IOW, it isn't that much SWF code to handle a request to set or return properties on an object with a particular ID in the DOM.
What I do remember is that the SWF portion was an exception to the rule that the DOM would not have an Application as a child of an Application without a SWFLoader between them. I would strongly prefer we not tackle those exceptions in Royale.
One thing about Royale that is a bit different from Flex and SWFs is that (hopefully) the Royale Applications do not presume they are essentially the top level node in the DOM. Maybe Basic Application could assume that it is top-level for simplicity, but other Application tag do not need to presume that and shouldn't. That's because you don't really know where in the DOM the Royale Application will end up. In Flex, you could wrap the SWF Object inside any amount of HTML and the SWF Object was a black box and the Flex app ran at the root of the SWF Object. In Royale, we probably can't and don't want to do that.
What that means is that it should be easier to wrap a Royale Application in other DOM widgets and thus it should be far easier to create property display boxes, alignment guides, selection, and other UI a DV needs in the browser instead of in the IDE.

Any attempt to emulate an HTML renderer in AIR or Java/Eclipse or other IDE platforms would be concerning to me.

Of course, I could be wrong...

Hi, I agree that a GUI IDE is needed or would be beneficial. I've
planned Royale as an export target for Web Export but it's been on the
backlog. I've mentioned this in another post but Web Export is a plugin
for Adobe XD that exports artboards to the web. Currently it supports
exporting markup to HTML and CSS.
XD supports all the layout, positioning and design features used for
prototyping.
To support Royale more fully would require some work but it would be
much less work to add in support than write your own design view.

Web Export has a live export feature so that as you make changes it
updates live in the browser (for HTML).

You can have it update the MXML in an existing file or have it write the
MXML document each time it changes.

XD supports states in a way. What I've seen from users is they have
different pages and manually switch between them. I think the way XD
creates it's live prototypes is listing all property changes. That
information can be stored in State markup.
If you (or other Flex devs) want to join me on adding Royale support to
Web Export I can add you to the github project and you'll be about one
year further along towards a GUI.

Posted by Alex Harui <ah...@adobe.com.INVALID>.
While it may be that someone offers a GUI IDE some day for Royale, there is are some other approaches, one that has been prototyped, and one that wasn't possible with Flash Player.
IIRC, one prototype adds some things to your app that allow you to edit the x/y/width/height in your MXML and immediately see the results in the browser.
The other approach is to write a bead that can track your MXML from the browser so you can use the browser tools to modify the UI and hit some button that will then update the MXML.
There are some limitations to these approaches which is why none are available at this time. The main one is that use of view states greatly complicates these approaches (as it does for a GUI IDE as well). So one question for you, are you using view states (mx:State)?

Regarding a GUI IDE, in one application, one of the larger modules has 1,390 lines of mxml code. One of 10 tabs in that module has 29 enterable "fields" another tab has over 50 enterable fields.
Attempting to create complex screens which are usable for the type of data entry these systems are used for would be difficult at best without using a GUI editor. If you are designing traditional web applications where everything is stacked and the user scrolls forever then yes you can do that without a GUI IDE. If however you want to design highly usable business applications deployed to thin clients (to use an ancient phrase) you need GUI tools to be productive.

Hi Paul,
many years ago I must say that was completely true, for that reason I
started trying to introduce in my clients and projects Flash and AMF in
early 2000, first with Flash authoring tool, then with MTASC (someone
remember it? ;)), and then Flex was really what we just needed. That was
very disruptive compared with the html/js/css stack at that time.
Currently that's not true. Near 2020, js is like the bytecode in Flash and
Royale is the current Flex. So it's clear that you don't need to go very
"low level", but if you needed, you can do it! (and that's good). But
Royale should allow you to develop without the need to go that route. and
just use good proven patterns like Flex did. We're working towards
that...and I think we're already got it. :)
About GUI IDE, although I think is something very cool to have something
like that, I abandoned that kind of tools many years ago. Maybe in the
future I could be working in something like that, just for pleasure, but
for now there's still many work to do in Royale in things more needed.
Maybe others could drive that effort... But I really think the current
Royale coding is very straight forward to do. As well examples like Tour De
Jewel has a lot of code to see how things should be used and learn from it
a lot of good practices.

Not agree.
Modern JS frameworks are supporting "hot reload" (Royale not yet) which
means the browser view is refreshing automatically after any code
change/compilation... and depending on the framework and project, this just
takes seconds or milliseconds. So, you see the results in near realtime
instead of waiting for the compiler and restarting your app all the time.
Hence my hope that someone will make live-editing of Royale MXML work. IMO, Any IDE DesignView equivalent that doesn't use a browser to render is going to have fidelity issues. Live-editing has the potential to be even better than hot-reload for some scenarios.
Of course, I could be wrong...

I think these days it is is more a design/UX decison if you go with a "one
page scroll" approach.
Nobody stops you from implementing complex UIs using HTML/CSS/JS.
JS frameworks (including Royale) are "component driven" like Flex.
So, breaking down complex apps into reusable components has become the
standard in web development.
>My initial test application (very simplistic) for Royale can be found

As Carlos mentioned, I guess you should be able to implement this by using
Royale/Jewel or any other JS framework out there.
But with Flex, we were used to had anything (or most of the things) we need
within the SDK.
With JS development (including Royale) you might want to use 3rd party (UI)
libaries in order to increase quality and productivity.
Just my 2 cents,
Olaf
