The best thing there might be an iframe (sob!), though I’d have to play with the settings to be sure.

This is interesting. I want to know if this will help me with the problem I have. I have a flex app that is placed on a page that has a 100px header in html. The flex swf file then appears below this header and has width=100%, height=100%. The problem is that the swf file ends up going below the browser viewport by 100px. Is there anyway to make the swf file only fit the viewport, and secondly, have it resize it’s height to the viewport height when the browser window is resized?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Randy Leinen

Oops, I should also note that once you install MacPorts, you have to re-install EVERYTHING to get it to use the new libxml2. Ruby, RubyGems, all your gems, everything. That part kinda sucks, just to get rid of the warning; it may be better to just define the damn constant unless you’re actively encountering the terrifying libxml2 bugs that nokogiri warned you about.

Hi Dan-

I actually did end up upgrading libxml2 using MacPorts. I really, REALLY didn’t want to go down that path but in the end I did it. I should note, however, that even after I updated via the port command I had to source all my .profiles (actually, I think I ended up restarting the terminal to get it to recognize the right paths) before the dreaded LONGEST_SCOLDING_CONSTANT_NAME_IN_HISTORY went away.

Hi again…

My bad… I didn’t read the warning closely enough. I opened up env.rb under /features/support/ and defined that at the very top and the warnings are gone now. (I had foolishly defined it at the bottom of the env.rb. Doh!)

Anyway, as one who is also just jumping into the rspec/cucumber world, I’m excited to see how this will affect my development process… hopefully for the better!

Hi Zachery!

I’m getting the I_KNOW_I_AM_USING_AN_OLD_AND_BUGGY_VERSION_OF_LIBXML2 warning when I run cucumber. I can’t seem to find any online help other than updating libxml, but I don’t want/need to do that. Did you do that or did you define that constant? And if the latter… where did you define the constant? I can’t seem to figure it out. *sigh*

That may be why I was coasting along with their tutorial until I hit their definition of a FrontController, which made me stop and scratch my head for awhile.

LOL

Nobody understands MVC, so it’s just a recipe for disaster to actually try using a framework that assumes you do. Worse, Cairngorm is event-based meaning you have to grasp two fundamental UI patterns in one shot, an even rarer occurrence with your common hack.

And from my experience with Cairngorm, they use Controller sort of strangely compared to other frameworks – it’s a place to register events and commands rather than interpret and react to user gestures, which appear to be handled inside the views. Or maybe that’s just another bad usage of the framework :)
