Is there a Flex forum that isn't dead? The one here hasn't had anwsers in months and the yahoo group related to flex is equally dead.

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi, Jerry, as stated earler in the thread, Flex has been donated to the Apache foundation> looking at the project page, I notice that they advertize a mailing list. Did you try asking your questions there? http://flex.apache.org/community-mailinglists.html

Thanks for the reply. I’m in a couple of mail listings. The Yahoo group hasn’t had a message in a long time. The users@flex.apache.org<mailto:users@flex.apache.org> group seems pretty active. I don’t know if that is the same group or not as apache has many mailings.

In trying to learn something about what Flex is, I've just discovered that Flex is not even part of the Adobe family of products any more:

Apache Flex, formerly Adobe Flex, is a software development kit (SDK) for the development and deployment of cross-platform rich Internet applications based on the Adobe Flash platform. Initially developed by Macromedia and then acquired by Adobe Systems, Flex was donated by Adobe to the Apache Software Foundation in 2011.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Flex

No wonder the Flex forum here is not that active. Adobe probably hasn't even noticed that they neglected to nuke it.

Didn't know that, but I found this in the FAQs on the Flex page in Adobe website (adobe.com):

What is Adobe's commitment to Flex?
Members of the current Flex SDK development, QA, and product teams are full-time contributors to this open source project. Adobe continues to invest heavily in the ongoing framework and language evolution.

I bet Adobe hasn't even noticed that they forgot or neglected to take that statement down.

Jerry,

I don't even know what "Flex" is, but I went to check your threads anyway and I have to say that they are prime examples of the kind of non-informative posts that I routinely skip in the forums to which I do contribute.

The titles are not descriptive, and the lack of information about the OS and your machine is remarkable. After reading all of them, I don't even know what platform you are on, Mac or Win.

Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

Are you talking about the Flex forum at this URL?

http://forums.adobe.com/community/flex?view=discussions

I ask because what I see is completely different from what you say:

Notice how many “0” replies there are?

Yes: 5 out of 9 in 20 hours, quite a lot different from your "The one here hasn't had anwsers in months". Or perhaps you were exagerating a bit?

In any case, these are user to user forums. No participant has any obligation to answer any question, so if a questions receives an answer or not depends on such trivial things as:

that the question is clear and provides enough information
that the question is read by someone who knows the answer
that this someone has the time to answer and is willing to do so
