TourDeFlex
Hi,
The TourDeFlex3 component explorer is just about in a state where it can be released. I'd appreciate if people took a look at it.
Outstanding issue I can see:
- decide on a version number
- add some Apache Flex branding
- making a script to package it all up into a release format
- add a README
- There's one example that not playing sound. Anyone suggest an open source sound file we can use to replace what was called jazz.mp3?
All of the examples in the component explorer are mx based, but once we release it, that would be a good opportunity for people to contribute spark based components or even perhaps localised versions of it.
The mobile application is another story. I wasn't able to get to compile it seems to be missing a large number of assets - any reason why there were not donated? We're not talking logos or the like but button skins and other stuff along those lines. Anyone want to help out with this?
Thanks,
Justin

Whoa! That is a lot of stuff that just popped up under the
TourDeFlex_content folder. Thanks for figuring this out.

Hah! No wonder you guys think the donation is half-baked. Turns out that
folder was blocked by .gitignore and was never checked in. The files Om
was looking for are not in this folder either, but you will see lots of
samples show up in a few minutes.

Where is this folder? I don't see it at:

It's not a problem but I think people would expect spark based samples as well.

Can you explain in more detail what is broken/missing in the TDF4 version?
I thought the XML files just listed which components had "entries" in
TDF. It would need to be fixed up anyway since some content was created
by third-parties and not donated.
It looks like there is plenty of Flex 4 stuff in the
tourdeflex_content.com folder.
What do you mean by the "component explorer is MX-based" and why is that a
problem? Checkintest is MX-based as well but runs the Spark components.

Yes, it was the mobile version:

Yes, I think we can start a web version first and then use the same code
with an AIR app. I will be able to contribute to this after I wrap up my
current Android skins work and some FlexJS work.

We did have someone donate a TourDeFlex like application some time back, perhaps it worth revisiting that? From memory it was a good start and only neede minor work to turn it into a release.
And I think the component explorer is also still useful despite being only MX based - given it will be easy for people to contribute samples.

Justin

If it isn't in the donation, I think that means it was created by a
third-party, or we don't have source for it. When I went fishing for
TDF4, nobody knew where the source was and I think what you see in the
repo was found on some person's computer, not in SCM. So if the donated
code is out-of-date or missing stuff, I think we're out of luck.

Doubtful. I'm not sure anybody knows where that is. What would be in
those files that we can't re-create?
There's a whole folder of stuff under TourDeFlex_content.com. Those three
files aren't in there, but is that folder most of what was on
tourdeflex.adobe.com? I see Flex 4 components in there.

Also, it looks like the samples won't work without the contents under

Particularly, these resources:

http://tourdeflex.adobe.com/ping.html
http://tourdeflex.adobe.com/download/update4.xml
Alex, any chance you could get that code donated as well?

Hi,

And it doesn't look it actually has them it's just the framework with the code for the actual examples :-(

I'm not seeing them either, but as I said I didn't get it to compile and just assumed it was the mobile code and/or teh desktop and mobile were the same source.

Looks like Adobe donated a much older version of the code :-( Perhaps as noted on that page they have only given up the web version of the application?

That contains only the desktop AIR components. I don't see any mobile
components in them?
Also, there are no Flex 4 components that are seen in the desktop app that
can be downloaded from here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/tourdeflex.html

Alex, do you know if the desktop version of Tour De Flex as seen here [1]
will be donated as well?

That was the code that was donated, not ideal, but a good base for people to easily extend on.

It's in the TourDeFlex directory at the same level. The TourDeFlex3 directory contains the component explorer.
Thanks for trying it out.

Re: TourDeFlex
Posted by OmPrakash Muppirala <bi...@gmail.com>.
I was able to run build.bat and everything built fine. Thanks Justin, for
beating this into shape.
Running the Apache Flex 4 Component Explorer web app, everything runs fine
without errors. But it looks like they are all only Flex 3 components. I
don't see layouts, skins, etc. I remember seeing a version of that in the
past.
Also, where is the code for the mobile app?
Thanks,
Om
