My tools for FYP
As mentioned before, I’m going to use Flex3 to build my FYP. Flex is the plaform, I have to use PHP & SQL too.
I looked into Flex for useful components that fit my needs.
- ApplicationControlBar as the top Website Builder menu bar
- Rich Text Editor as page editor
Website Builder Prototype
I supposed the components could be used in this way. But, um, I don’t know how the Rich Text could be displayed as I found the “Text” component could apply 1 style on 1 text component, which cannot stylize text in between.

Rich Text could be displayed by the following code:
<mx:TextArea width=”100%” borderStyle=”none” editable=”false” height=”200″>
<mx:htmlText><![CDATA[<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">HTML TEXT HERE</TEXTFORMAT>]]></mx:htmlText>
</mx:TextArea>
Suggested by Vicker (Flex User Group), AMFPHP is the best for doing PHP coding with Flex, Because Flex can import the classes in AMFPHP and call the functions directly. Here is a tutorial website about Flex & AMFPHP that I found:
