I upgraded to Fedora 15 yesterday and I like gnome shell, sure it’s different to the old gnome but that’s why we upgrade software. I also like the fact that you can alt tab all the way to other workspaces nice!!. Personally I don’t miss the status bar and according to the word online, some features are already being added to Gnome3.2 which are missing currently, so for the first release this is pretty awesome work congrats Gnome team.
Personally the only thing I would like is for it to be easier to customize, but I see their is already an app Gnome Tweak Tool to help you customize your setup. The fact that the UI has moved away from all that windows like look is a great plus, this is Linux after all and we pride ourselves in being different.
HTTPService get with parameters
I was trying to put together a simple HTTPService Get service and most of the tutorials online did not work for me, as most of them are get calls without parameters and I needed to pass 2 to 3 arguments with my get call. Below is sample code for my get call.
[cc lang=”actionscript3″]
private function getListings():void
{
var params:Object = new Object;
params[“Input”] = txtInput.text;
params[“Index”] = new String(cmbSample.selectedIndex);
GetMyListing.send(params);
}
[/cc]
How does this work
When the HTTPService executes it will convert the above call to
http://localhost/rs/client/listing?Input=sometxt&Index=sometxt
This way am not having to do a post call just to send two parameters.
