Are 'projects' required when creating flex apps

hello;
I have spent 2 days doing several flex tutorials, and it seems everyone of them requires me to create a new project. Eclipse, then, automatically creates lots of files with names hardcoded into them.
I, personally, am uncomfortable with this approach: a tool creates my tool-shed automatically.
is there an alternative to developing flex apps in flash builder?
thanks.

After reading your response and rereading the original question a bit closer, the metadata prompting feature does not apply to creating new folders, only content.
Again, though, I think the focus here is in the wrong place. The metadata applied to a folder is intended to be ultimately applied to the content. You can build global rules that fire on submission of content to check if a field has a value, and throw an error if the value is empty.
If you expect users to create folders (and actually apply any metadata to the actual folder itself), you will be disappointed. Experience shows that users are not interested in that level of detail when creating content, let alone folders. Letting typical users create folders is a bad idea anyway, as they tend to create the same inefficient folder structures they previously created in file shares within Content Server.
If you need to tightly control folder attributes, you'll be better served by locking down the ability to create new folders. Otherwise you're looking at some type of customization. Keep in mind that you won't be able to customize the right click behavior of DIS. Any changes to DIS would have to be an enhancement request.

  • How to make metadata fields required when creating folders

    Hello all....
    Related issue with SR 3-6472229431 and SR 3-6471130611.
    We're using DIS 11.1.6 64-bits (2011_11_29 (rev 9756) 11.1.6.97) in a Windows 7 64-bits workstation (with UCM 11.1.1.5 in a Linux machine). The check-in of images to UCM goes fine.
    I'm trying to make some metadata fields required when creating a folder. These fields are required when making a check-in, but not when creating folders.
    Folders_g is enabled. DesktopTag too.
    EDIT: Patch: 14695303 - WCC 11.1.1.5.0 BUNDLE ( MLR 16 ) NOV 6 2012 applied.
    Is it possible?
    Thanks for all.

  • Change pointers are not generated when creating a material master

    Dear Experts,  
    Change pointers are not generated when creating a material master. 
    However, when a change is made to the already created material, the change pointers are created according the fields in BD52.  
    Am I missing any settings?
    I need to create change pointers immediately when I create the material master in MM01.  
    Please suggest.

  • Books are not saved when created with iPhoto 09

    When creating a book, everything is normal but the book is not saved in the computer. So I have to finish the project and order It. The name of the book is still listed on the left but there's no photos or text. I also have a book that seems corrupted because when i try to open the file iphoto jams and i'm not able to remove the corrupted book because the file can't be opened.
    Please help me

  • FDM "Error: Can't authenticate user" when creating new apps

    We are experiencing the above error when trying to create a new FDM application, and cannot seem to get past it. The details are as follows:
    - FDM manages to create the folder structure on the server fine, so suspecting SQL or HSS permissions/provisioning
    - SQL database is not created
    - Creating the SQL database manually beforehand does not help either
    - The EPM Admin experiences the same error!
    - No FDM logs appear to have been generated in C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\diagnostics\logs\fdqm
    We were able to create FDM apps fine at some stage, but cannot now for some reason. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

    On the FDM server, from the Start menu, go to All Programs --> Oracle EPM System --> Financial Data Quality Management --> Load Balance Manager --> Load Balance Configuration.
    On both the Authentication Providers tab and the Application Servers tab, you should see at least one entry. If you do not see an entry on either of these tabs, enter the appropriate settings on each tab, then go to the General tab and enter the password for the DCOM account. If, on the other hand, the original settings are intact, just go to the General tab and enter the password for the DCOM account. If you enter the correct password and do not get an error, then this verifies that the DCOM settings have not been corrupted.

  • What are the requirements for publishing an App for private distribution, not sale.

    I need to create an App in English and 4 other languages for private distribution to individuals. What are the requirements for doing this please? I currently have a just a Single Edition license. Am I right in understanding I need a Cloud subscription and an Apple Developer subscription also?

    My client desire is to only make their accessible to paying members requiring a sign–in before download. Does this fall into a private distribution deployment.

  • Files required when creating add-on installer exe

    Dear All Gurus/Experts,
    I couldn't find out and almost give up to create installer of add-on. The add-on created using VB6. It is UI API addon (I know it based on answers to several add-on topic posted to this forum).  When I want to create installer exe, I use 3 files : application.exe (vb exe), AddOnInstallAPI.dll and EndInstall.exe (vb exe). In the installer software, there is a feature named include installer that could be tick or not.  Is this correct ? is it only application file required to create the installer ?
    I appreciate your answers. TIA
    Rgds,

    You can use B1DE setup wizards also for addons built with VB6 or any other
    language. It just takes the name of your addon files (executables / dll / etc) and
    builds for you a B1 addon setup. Just as easy.
    Regarding your thoughts about easiness of producing addons. This is exactly the
    objective of B1DE. It contains several wizards to generate automatically code (in
    C# or VB.NET) for your addons and shield you from all the needed mechanics
    related to SDK.
    And the tools do not stop only with development. You can download from here
    also certification tools, profilers, browsers, test automation, etc etc etc. Go
    under Business One SDK tools and download them. Several thousands of SDNers
    already did.

  • What is required to create an app with Flash and get it on a phone to test?

    I'm curious what is required to get an app on to a phone for testing. Do you need a a devleoper licenese for testing on your own phone?

    well there is another way -> jailbreak you device. Find and download a certificate for flash (p12 or alike), generate IPA and upload via itunes... not the best way but in case you want to test something and have no idea if it even would work in Ios, say PV3D I would go that way. Otherwise it is pretty simple and without much requirements - go for a developer registration.
       Also since you are in eductation try to contact apple may be you would get a free registration.

  • Text is pixelated in Adobe Viewer when creating an app in indesign

    I am trying to create an app in indesign, I put the docuement in the folio builder, and then view it on my iphone through Adobe Viewer.  The text that I've typed in directly in indesign appears pixelated, along with any thing I placed from photoshop.  In Indesign I've made the object High Quality Display, took out all layers except the text layer, even saved the photoshop text image as a pdf and placed it in indesign, still pixelated.
    Help please.

    Thanks Neil, I did all 3 as per your suggestion: version 25, PDF, and 960*640, and it worked.  But b/c of the PDF option, I believe that was the reason why each page opened up from blurry to clear, which is actually a cool looking effect, however, on some legnthy text frames, the blur took a bit too long to clear.
    So I created another folio, version 25, 960*640 and this time kept it Automatic, and it's just as clear as the PDF folio, but there's no initial blur.

  • Error when creating Office App projects: "Invalid capability expression at position 29 in the expression "CPS Projects | Test | VisualC"."

    Whenever I try creating a new Office app project (regardless of its a Office or Mail app), I'm encountering the following error:
    Invalid capability expression at position 29 in the expression "CPS Projects | Test | VisualC".
    Also, the project doesn't seem to completely finish creating the Office App template. Only the Scripts folder got created. I've done a search and I can't find any solution. I'm using VS2013, Update 5 CTP.
    Help please!
    Lace

    Hi Lace,
    So you have installed the update 5 CTP 2 here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45508
    Am I right? You create the office app like the following template, am I right?
    Just to make this issue clearly, could you create the Office app before you install this update 5? For example, the latest RTM version for Update package is update 4, did you get this issue if you install the update 4 before? At least, we could know that
    whether it is the update package issue. I could create the office app in my VS2013 with update 4.
    If it still has this issue without the update 5, since you get this issue when you create the default project templates, I think it would be related to your VS Environment.
    Please run the command line:
    devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates.
    Create a simple Office app, test it again.
    If still no help, maybe you could run your VS in safe mode, so we could know whether it is related to the add-in or extension tool.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241278.aspx
    If still no help, maybe you could repair your VS, test it again.
    Best Regards,

  • Can't login to Azure from Visual Studio when creating new app.

    Hi,
    I already tried this at two different computers.
    Install VS 2013
    Get VS Update 2
    Get VS Web Essentials
    Get Azure SDK 2.3
    Launch VS, Log-in with MSDN acc.
    File-New Project - ASP.NET Web Application (pick MVC + Web API)
    Use "Create remote resource - Web Site"
    OK
    Get asked for Azure login again (sigh..)..I log in.
    Get error message: "Unable to create remote resource. 'One or more errors occured'" .. really? eh.. :D
    Ok, so now i try the Manage Subscriptions link to check the azure account.
    Nothing is there.so I guess I need to sign in again because my previous login got forgotten
    I log inagain.
    Get dialog with "The task argument contains no tasks. Parameter name: tasks"
    Ok, no Azure for me I guess.
    btw: I then logged into web Azure portal and noticed I am over the spending limit now, so my subscription was disabled, but if this is the case why I can't login to Azure from VS, then just tell me. Skip those unrelated (for me) error messages.

  • PS Project description when creating sales order using BAPI

    I am trying to create sales orders using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATE_FROMDAT2.
    Because of the material configuration in table TCN61 the material will trigger a project creation in the project system.
    Now, in order to create a project, we must provide the project description.
    I would like to ask you if anyone knows how to pass the project description in one of the BAPI parameters.
    Thank you for your help.

    Thank you Sreedhar for the answer.
    I tried the CAMPAIGN field but did not work...
    In fact, I am not able to find a field, in any of the of the tables, that could hold the project description (PROJ-POST1).
    An entry is created in PROJ table when we manually create a sales order for materials specified in table TCN61.
    Thanks.
