About
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the home of the MX Framework.
An open-source library written in Actionscript for Macromedia Flash MX.
MXF makes web-application development an easy task and
unifies various functions into a powerful framework.

It provides a set of libraries sorted into packages that ease out most common programming
tasks in Flash and are more powerful than native Flash classes, aswell.

MXF also provides an intelligent way of sorting prototype libraries into a logical framework
which can be extended with third party libraries and components.

"It probably already includes your favourite prototype, if not contribute it!"

The MXF nativly provides a powerful checking of library dependencies.
If you include a component that requires the inclusion of another library component,
you will get a notice when compiling your movie including full information which
include is missing.

Beside that, MXF has a Package Manager that updates your
MXF installation automatically, solves dependencies and gives you the
possibility to compile your own packages for inclusion in the next MXF release.

This library is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License.

05-07-03:  example and current status

It might have been a long time since the last status report
but we are still working on it! :D

The MXFServer part is almost finished and pretty "release" ready.
We will be moving to SourceForge after it is completly done and released
to make use of the SourceForge developer system.

Meanwhile you can make yourself comfortable with this example running
on a current developer release of the framework.
It is based on the org.syntax72.MXFServer.Net.DNS class.

We just want to note that the hole thing takes 1 (!) line for the DNS related call
and only around 20 in total to display and format the strings...

We have more examples coming up including a Text editor, a "Flash-Shell" and a
filesystem browser all based on MXF.

We also updated the latest status.
30-03-03:  status update...

Since the last post we have clearified many issues. Created specifications, graphical representations
almost set the model for the MXFServer,
defined the distribution format and much more.
There will be some major changes regarding the package manager.
Offical statement soon. The MXFServer part is going on pretty good.
Some examples might come up we use for testing. Like a small texteditor, file-explorer...
Updated latest status accordingly.
05-03-03:  syntax72 discussion board up!

Want to take part in discussing the development of MXF?
Need help with using MXF in your application?
Visit http://board.syntax72.org/
01-03-03:  MXFServer update...

Just dropping info about a major step forward.
The MXFServer backend now supports the AMF and XMLRPC protocols.
We can't wait to implement the remaining libraries now.

Main focus is the MXFServer part.
We will then head for the GUI<->GFX library parts of the framework.
Expect some nice screenshots soon.

As you might have noticed we decided upon
using the LGPL license for MXF.

Meet us up on IRC: #syntax72 @ irc.quakenet.org
24-02-03:  MXF Package Manager Screens!

Some screenshots from the package manager by Florian S.
which is still under development.

Package Manager 1
Package Manager 2
Package Manager 3

Updated latest status.
23-02-03:  MXF Website!

MXF goes public. Welcome to our Website.
The framework libraries are still under development.
Check the Framework Overview for the latest status.

Listing Package: MXFServer

The MXFServer uses a PHP server (XMLRPC, AMF, XMLSocket) to allow flash
to access resources on a webserver. Most functions available through PHP
will be available in Flash as an extension to the unified MX Framework.

A basic usage example:

	// ------ Include MX Framework ------ 
	#include "MXF.as"
	
	// ------ MXF Libraries ------
	#include "org/syntax72/System.all"
	#include "org/syntax72/System/Net.all"
	#include "org/syntax72/System/Threading.all"
	
	// ------ MXF Server ------
	#include "org/syntax72/MXFServer.all"
	#include "org/syntax72/MXFServer/IO.all"
	
	// ------ Application Code ------
	
	// Timer example
	var myTimer = new org.syntax72.System.Timers.Timer();
	myTimer.setInterval(1000);
	myTimer.onTimer = function () { trace("Hello"); this.stop(); };
	myTimer.start();
	
	// MXFServer IO example
	org.syntax72.MXFServer.IO.Directory.setCurrentDirectory("/usr/local/www");
	var result = org.syntax72.MXFServer.IO.Directory.createDirectory("hello");
	if (MXF.isError(result))
	{
		trace(result.toString());
	}
	else
	{
		trace("Created directory /usr/local/www/hello!");
	};
	
	var filename = org.syntax72.MXFServer.IO.Path.getFileNameWithoutExtension("c:\hello\test.fla");
	trace(filename);	// traces "test"
	
	var Host = org.syntax72.MXFServer.Net.DNS.getHostByAddress("aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd");
	trace(Host.Hostname); // traces hostname for aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
	
	trace(Host.getClassPathTree());
	/*
		traces:
		
		|
		+-- org.syntax72.System.Object
		     |
		     +-- org.syntax72.MXFServer.Net.IPHostEntry
		     
	*/

- Would like to attend development?
- Have a specific component/prototype you would like to contribute?
- Good Windows/MacOS C/C++ skills? We need support for the package manager.

Send us an E-Mail or better visit our discussion board at
http://board.syntax72.org/

We can talk about the best way of integrating your ideas into the framework.

FAQ:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Why should I use MXF?
A: Using a framework has some advantages. You don't have to cope with
"low-level" functionality. It's easier to access easy wrapper functions
to create a tree view for example rather than writing it from scratch
having to cope with all the problems that evolve. You can also invest time
in building your application's core functionality rather than the components.
Imagine you copy the MXFServer on your webserver and start writing applications
to alter the files on it, communicate with a database, create PDF files...

Q: When will it be released?
A: You can request the source at any given time, but we will do
an offical distribution if at least the standard framework libraries are in OK state.

Q: How will it be distributed?
A: The MXF will be bundled with a cross-platform package manager.
It will allow you to retrieve up-to-date versions of the libraries provided through the web.
We also think about releasing major versions as Flash Extension installations.

Q: Do you plan adding a cross platform AS2SWF compiler?
A: Well, lets say we think about that as an option. Familiar with the .swf specs? Help us!

Q: Do you love coding?
A: Oh yes!

Q: Why this "newb ascii" website instead of a MXF powered one?
A: No time. :) Expect somthing when the basic framework is ready.
