  • Put together a shell script that backs up project_portfolio and moves the file to another machine in the enclave.
  • My svn isn’t working. Now it is. Dong fixed, after a few attempts.
  • More commenting. Maybe add a transition or two. Added transitions and learned a few things.
    • Components that have a transition must bein BasicLayout, with only x, y, width and height defined. If you need centering, you need to do that programatically, wising things like the FlexNativeWindowBoundsEvent.WINDOW_RESIZE event. Otherwise, the components get confused as to where to go after they have reached their endpoints
    • Programatically created classes also seem to have some issues. The SequenceScreen creates a series of ImageScreens, and I can’t get the SequenceScreen to work as part of a transition. Interestingly, transitions within a dynamically created ImageScreen work just fine.

  • Christie has asked Trish and a new guy (Tom?) to look over the beta. I sent a note saying that if everything seemed OK, I’d promote the beta on Thursday.
  • Working on item renderers and getting a tile layout to have border padding. Not sure why that isn’t working… Turns out that you need to use the left, right, top, bottom attributes.
  • Wrote up a binomial distribution class. Since I couldn’t find anything easily convertible, I put it up on fgmdev, under development.
  • Commenting

Christine 11.15.2010

  • First day. Met with Phil and Dong.

  • Tasked with following (also see list under Phil’s post):
    • Completing Flex In a Week
    • Mavenize AirFileImageApp, and fix MavenAssist to create Air apps
    • Begin converting Visibility2 from Flash 3 to 4
  • Completed Day 1, ep 1-6 of Flex tutorial

  • Talked to Christie. She’s going to try out the new version and also show Trish. They’ll either call to discuss or I’ll pick up tomorrow
  • Chris’ first day. Her task list is:
    • Flex in a week
    • Mavenize AirFileImageApp, and fix MavenAssist to create Air apps
    • Start converting VISIBILITY to Flash4 (4.5?)
  • Working on AirFileImageApp
    • Trying to add a [Bindable] value that a skin can access. Done – had to extend the SkinnableContainer class with a small actionscript class. Interestingly, it makes <layout> part of the package where the inheriting class is instead of spark.components. . I’m guessing that it’s because layout is a variable?
    • ItemRenderer – mostly done – working with padding.
  • Leaving at 3:30

  • Mounted the 5 motor controllers to their shelves.
  • Made a power bus using usb but we can always change it to use output on the controller if we need the USB slot.

  • Deployed the new PPM app. Couldn’t get in contact with Christa, so I left it in the Beta state and will pick it up with her on Monday, unless she calls today.
  • Working on skins. Done! That was actually quite easy and nice. Now commenting.

  • find duplicate projects functional
    • when services and totals of FY amount match
    • using query below, create dynamic FY values
  • find duplicate projects query
    SELECT p.uid, project_id, center_number, center_name, year, services, SUM(IF(year=1, amount, 0)) as FY1, SUM(IF(year=2, amount, 0)) as FY2, SUM(IF(year=3, amount, 0)) as FY3 FROM `budget_centers` b, budget_amounts a, projects p  WHERE begin_year=2010 AND end_year=2012 AND p.uid = project_id AND b.uid = budget_center_id AND services = ” AND p.uid = @lid GROUP BY p.uid ORDER BY p.uid

  • All is well on site
  • Reviewing Dong’s new PPM
  • Working on the Air App
    • Fleshing out DataDictionary class. Adding callbacks, comments, etc
    • Finished with the DataDictionary. I can’t get the Changewatcher to work with the property change event, though I can fire it if the object itself changes. So instead I added a more java-like callback with listeners functionality.
