Basic layout help

Using the session-based authentication of existing app with Laszlo

Re: Basic layout help

Re: Basic layout help

Gee, I wonder if there should be an option like "take my initial  
position from the layout" or something?

Can you override the window default options to make it pay attention  
to the layout?

Re: Basic layout help

You just need to add options='ignorelayout:false' to the window 
component, that way the default value will be overridden.

I _knew_ someone would have the answer!  Cool!

laszlo not supporting REST?

Re: laszlo not supporting REST?

In the DHTML runtime, you may use any REST request method.

The Flash 8 player  just does not natively  support anything besides
GET and POST,and it appears that flash 9/10 won't do PUT or DELETE
either, unless you are running in the AIR player environment.  For the
 Flash 9 player in a regular browser, it appears to be limited to GET
and POST, at least according to how I read the AS3 documentation.

Note however, , if your application is making proxied request rather
than a SOLO request, the proxy server (LPS) can perform the REST PUT
or DELETE methods. So if you are willing to deploy your application
with proxied
data requests, then you could use these methods in a Flash application.

[regarding the Flash 9 player, here's what the AS3 docs say for
flash.net.URLRequest]

method	property	
method:String  [read-write]
Language Version : 	ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions : 	AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9
Controls the HTTP form submission method.

For SWF content running in Flash Player (in the browser), this
property is limited to GET or POST operation, and valid values are
URLRequestMethod.GET or URLRequestMethod.POST. For content running in
Adobe AIR, if the content is in the application security domain, you
can use any string value; otherwise (if the content is not in the AIR
application security domain) you are still restricted to using GET or
POST.

Note: If running in Flash Player and the referenced form has no body,
Flash Player automatically uses a GET operation even if the method is
set to URLRequestMethod.POST.

The default value is URLRequestMethod.GET.

Re: Laszlo-user Digest, Vol 53, Issue 1

hi all, i try to unzip the OL 4.2.1 but it sends me straight to Sun Java 
site and the dialog says OL can't find java on this PC.
 There is already the latest java jdk on the PC in the env.variables path 
but OL can't find it, this PC is win Vista 64bit sp1 with flash 10 
installed.
I have just installed a new SUN netbeans with glassfish installation 
included with the jdk, however the dialog at Sun, states that it uses port 
8080, the same as Tomcat would require to use.
Is that a problem ? Why OL won't install ?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks for your interest in my situation, I am hoping to start learning OL 
if I can open the download.
