FlashApe

I hate when I go someplace that offers Wifi and have to pay for it, simple as that. Most of the time when I have been forced to pay for Wifi access, t’s been those damn T-Mobile hotspots. I heard about this story, and I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one who had that ‘yeah, screw you t-mobile!’ feeling.

Finally getting back into using Flex again, and was trying out the Remote Object tutorial here. Everything went fine for the Hello World tutorial, but I kept getting ‘Client.Error.DeliveryInDoubt’ messages from the PersonService. I read a couple of places that there had been issues with charset handling in amfphp, so spent a bunch of time with that, but still no luck. Then I remembered that I created the php file for HelloWorld in TextMate, and create the 2 php files for the PersonService in Flex Builder. Sure enough, after recreating the php files in TextMate everything worked. I’m not sure if it was an encoding issue, since it seems like both TextMate and FlexBuilder default to utf-8. I did notice that in FB, the preference for ‘New Text File Line Delimiter’ (under General/Workspace) was set to default, so I changed it to Unix to line up with TextMate.

Then I went out and installed PDT to set up a PHP perspective within FB.
