Ok, so I have this Flex project I’ve been working with. Uses CF, WebServices, Oracle, etc. Things are going along nicely. The application owners will need a admin tool. What a great opportunity to use the new CF/Flex Application Wizard Generation gizmo, me thinks! NOT! the code it generated, besides having completely disregarded my input on where/what my web root is, it erased all my code I wrote! Yes, as in obliterate, delete, overwrite, transmutate! I got no $200 for passing go or a trip in a famed red elevator!

So, listen up. Use this tool on a new project only, not your current one.

arrrghhh!!! Wased 3 days of work! And yes, before you get all snooty on me, I use CVS, but not for my rough-draft code, eh?

get your new bits there. Check out the changelog for new exciting features.

kewl new feature:
“Added support for the spry:state attribute which can be used by a designer tell Spry what markup to use when the region is in its “loading”, “error” or “ready” state. Spry will automatically swap in the correct markup as the region’s state changes.”

off to Spry land…

Ok, so I dove into the Spry world last week. As a first example, I wrote a People Soft position tree ‘crawler’. A ‘crawler’ is what I call a app that crawls up and down a position tree via drill downs/ups. In short a org chart. For most of the repots I have to write, this type of approach is used, displaying rolled up data along the way. So, lets jump right in, shall we?

First off you will probably want to take a look at the app, eh?

Yeah, its ugly, but hey it’s a example of Spry code, not CSS, eh?
