A Cold Blog

i was struggling with some Flex styling and it was just frustrating me. So what is a developer to do other than use Google In my so ever long crawl i.e. the second link! I found this:

http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/consulting/styleexplorer/Flex2StyleExplorer.html

I highly suggest that any of you that are using flex to use this style helper. It builds the CSS for you hahah and boy am I lazy, so it was nice to be able to plug in what I wanted to make and presto! there is the code!

import mx.controls.Menu;// Create a new Menu
var myMenu = Menu.createMenu(null);

// Set the root Menu node
var rootMenu = myMenu.addMenuItem({label:"root"});

// Set main Menu
var menu1 = rootMenu.addMenuItem({label:"Menu 1"});
var menu2 = rootMenu.addMenuItem({label:"Menu 2"});
var menu3 = rootMenu.addMenuItem({label:"Menu 3"});

// Set items for each menu
menu1.addMenuItem({label:"Menu 1 Item"});
menu2.addMenuItem({label:"Menu 2 Item"});
menu3.addMenuItem({label:"Menu 3 Item"});

// Set Menu data provider
var mdp = rootMenu;

Our goal is to provide the students of FAA with a way to find internships and post resumes. This sytem will incorporate:

1. Companies will submit info to FAA and we will psot the Job information for our students
2. Grad student postitions
3. Resume Builder adive and a step by step system to allow such things
4. USe Macenia & DeVries’s Resume as examples. THey look the best for Acadamic

I am thinking that by adding a drag and drop type system for sections and abilty to print from the APP via either PDF or Flash paper will only enahnce the app more.

Currently leaning more towards flash paper I am a flash addict for sure!

Was having touble doing this in coldfusion so I am going to take the PHP approach until I learn more about the CF and Flex intergration.

PHP will allow me to conn to the dbase via XML.  A bit more time consuming coding wise but since I do not know anyone tha can do flex this will have to do for the time beaing.  OR at least Version 1.0 !

Worked more on this armor item app last night.. I am currently talking with lotro game developers to provide me with an XML feed of the items so I do nto have to make my own XML sheet..

THat will speed things up tremendously!

new version

This nutty program is giving me some serious fits when I am conneting it to Coldfusion… what a pain in the @$$  I think coldfusion and Vista are not playing nice at the moment… I am hoping to figure this thing out today.
