To use the SDK, you extract the contents of this ZIP file to
your local drive with a utility such as WinZip.
This ZIP file contains the SDK which does not include a
development tool. You create text files with a *.mxml extension and
then compile them with the mxmlc command line compiler (in the /bin
directory).
There are many resources on the web for getting started with
the SDK. One example is this article:

Help with Flex Ant build.xml error

So I've started on a new project and I'm new to Flex. A lot of learning curve here. Anyway, I'm trying to deploy a project that uses flex and is built with Ant. We've moving up from a version of Flex 2 to Flex 3. The build file works fine in the Flex 2 app but for some reason does not seem to be working with Flex 3. I'm hoping someone can give me some insight on what might be wrong or where to start.
The error is Command not found: compc
The part of the build file it has a problem with is:
<compc include-classes="${classes}"
     ouput="${flex.dist.dir}/${flex.app.name}.swc"
     keep-generated-actionscript="false"
     headless-server="${headless.server}"
     incremental="true">
<load_config filename="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks/flex-config.xml" />
<source-path path-element="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks" />
<source-path path-element="${flex.app.root}" />
<compiler.library-path dir="${FLEX_HOME}/frameworks" append="true">
     <include name="libs" />
     <include name="../bundles/{local}" />
</compiler.library-path>
<compiler.library-path dir="${flex.app.root}" appent="true">
     <include name="libs" />
</compiler.library-path>
</compc>
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Sorry, I meant to address that. Yes, since we've moved up to the Flex 3 sdk, we are pointing at a new directory. The old directory was flex_sdk and the new directory is flex_sdk_340.
FLEX_HOME is being set in the build.properties file for local building and then overidden in the build.xml file with this code:
<target name="build">
     <available property="FLEX_HOME" value="/apps/flex_sdk_340" file="/apps/flex_sdk_340" />
     <echo>FLEX_HOME = ${FLEX_HOME}</echo>
     <antcall target="compile" />
</target>
I did notice a warning about not using the available property, so I removed it and just changed what FLEX_HOME was set to in the build.properties file to the server directory. Would mess up local building but regardless it didn't matter because it had no effect on the error being generated. I alos looked a little into the file property of the available tag trying to figure out if that was somehow an issue but I wasn't able to come to any conclusion.
Before the program errors out, it does displayt he echo statement and the value of FLEX_HOME appears to be correct in that it does show /apps/flex_sdk_340.
Thank you so much for your continued help. This is truly frustrating because nothing but a directory name has really changed and yet it stopped working. I can't find any information anywhere on what could be wrong and this is really my last resort.

Help with Flex based popup windows and data population.

Hello, I need a bit of help with Flex popups. I have a flex
application that uses a popup window when you click on a button and
displays information about the image above the button the user
clicked. I have about 4 images and I need to be able to display
information about each of them through the popup window when users
click on the buttons below the image.
At this time, I am trying to do this from somewhat of a
"static" point of view because I do not believe my hosting company
supports Flex Data services. You will find my code below.

What I want to do is either be able to create a popup file
for each button and photo, or find a way to pass a name like a
button ID that corresponds to a XML data structure and then
provides the appropriate data for the photo. I have tried altering
the first page of code with the "public" declaration to allow for a
second popup file for each button and image, but the IDE won't
allow me to do such because it creates errors stating I can only
have one public declaration of the kind and function above per
application. Help resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I have an idea of what I want to do. I am just having
difficulty articulating how to go about such. I know I want to find
a way so that if a user clicks on button 1, button 1 will send some
kind of variable. For example, a user clicks Btn1 under a picture.
Btn1 sends some kind of variable or binding to a data structure
which returns the picture's description, price, etc. and calls the
popup to display that data in a form like manner. Then the user
click Btn2 which does the same thing. The only purpose of the popup
is to display the data.
Do I create a data structure with a related name to say a
button name so when the btn is clicked, the a variable title btn1
will prepend itself to the data structure like
{btn1.imagename}
{btn1.price}
{btn1.description}.
I want each btn to call a different set of data about each
picture because right now, the code I have is allowing me multiple
buttons, but is just displays the popup. Is there a way to create a
separate popup window for each button? Thats seems as though it
would be easier. Thank you for your help.

Help! I renamed an existing file in Reader (Mobile) to begin with "." and it disappeared. Unable to search for it. How can I recover it? [iOS]

I was attempting to organize my files in Reader (on iPad) and I tried renaming an existing file to begin with "." in an attempt to put it at the top of my list, so that I could easily find it. It completely diappeared and if I search for it, it doesn't appear. Help!!!

Hi,
A file or folder name starting with '.' ("dot" or "period") is considered hidden on most operating systems. By naming a file starting with '.', you accidentally hid the file and made it inaccessible to all iOS apps.
I'd highly recommend using '_' ("underscore") in the future.
We have already made the change to the new Acrobat DC for iOS app (version 15.0.x) so that it disallows the rename operation with '.' as the first character. (I assume that you are using Adobe Reader for iOS on iOS 7 or older iOS version.)
To recover your hidden file, you need to use a Windows or Mac desktop/laptop computer, install a File Manager app (e.g. iExplorer free demo version, iFunBox), connect your iPad, browse the file system on your iPad, and rename the file back to something else (so that it becomes "visible" again).
The exact steps vary depending on the File Manager app you choose. You may be able to find How-To videos on the software manufacturer's web site or YouTube.
Don't worry. Your hidden file is not permanently lost. You just need to recover it. Good luck!

Where do I continue; I have a '07 Macbook Pro, and would truly appreciate your help as I freshly install my osx beginning with my original 10.4

Please...
Where do I continue; I have a '07 Macbook Pro, and would truly appreciate your help as I have freshly installed my osx beginning with my original 10.4
Thank you
PS
I should mention; for reasons unknown to me, I no longer have use of my disk drive since reinstalling 10.4.

You can use software update to install the latest version of Tiger. If you connect an external DVD drive you can install an upgrade to Snow Leopard. The disk is available at the Apple online store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Further upgrades are dependent upon the EXACT model of your MBP.

Why should I have to PAY Apple Support to help me with an issue that the iO6 caused to begin with????

Would somebody please explain to me why I should have to PAY Apple Support to help me with an issue that THEY caused to begin with??? I still cannot connect to WiFi with my iPhone since the upgrade yesterday. Will they pay for my data overages??? I have tried every suggestion that has been on the Apple Forums...and none of them work. Then when I tried contacting Apple..I found out I have to PAY for their help. Are they kidding me??

But it's Apple's fault I'm having a problem...not mine. It's not right.

Hi - When I go into Contacts and type a letter in the search bar to get to last names that begin with that letter I get a list of random names that don't correlate to the letter. My settings are fine. Help ?

Hi. When I go into my contacts and type a letter in the saerch bar to get to a list of last names that begin with that letter I get a list of random names that don't begin or end with the letter. My Settings appear fine. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Bill

The search bar is not designed to take you to names beginning with the letter you put in. If you want to do that, use the letters down the side. In the search bar, the device will return results for all contacts that have that have that letter in them. If you type a couple of letters of the name, you'll find what you want faster. Once you get used to how it works, it's quite efficient.
Best of luck.

Getting Started with Flex 2

I played with Flex 2 beta 3 a while back, then got pulled off
into other things, and am now back to looking at Flex again and
thought I would go through the getting started lessons (on
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=00000138 .html).
I got to the second page and immediately got stuck.
Step 1 reads: "In a text editor, open the
data-management-config.xml file located in the WEB_INF/flex
directory of the samples web application. "
OK, where is this WEB_INF/flex directory located? And what is
the "samples web application" that is being referred to?
I THINK I found the right file, but in step 2 it says:
"Directly above the text <destination id="contact">, make
sure the following destination definition exists. "
The quoted text does not exist in the file, but the
definition it further explains to add already does exist.
So move on to the next page and it says to "...create an MXML
(text) file that contains the following text and save it as
lesson1.mxml in the DSLessons directory of the samples web
application." There's that samples web application reference again
- where IS that?
Oh, well THEN it has a link to a "Before you Begin" section -
maybe there are some answers in there! I click on that (why isn't
it in the index on the left?) and it takes me to a page suggesting
I do a few things. One of the things it says is, "Create a
DSLessons directory that is a subdirectory of the samples directory
of the samples web application. "
OK, well, dammit, now I'm frustrated! WHERE AND WHAT IS THE
SAMPLES DIRECTORY OF THE SAMPLES WEB APPLICATION?!
Is it wrong of me to assume that a "Getting Started with Flex
2" document would provide some foundational information that is not
based on assumptions of prior knowledge of the inner workings of
the very product I'm trying to get started with? This isn't even my
first time playing with Flex! In fact, I was hoping to find some
good step-by-step introductory material that would help some of my
coworkers learn a bit about it.
Where can I find some?

OK, apparently the primary source of my confusion here is
that some link I clicked on (I thought from a readme file, but I
can't find it again) took me to the aforementioned page in the
livedocs and did not display any corresponding topic open in the
left column, so I assumed I was on the first page of the getting
started section (especially since I was actively looking for a
getting started section when I wound up here). I have discovered a
more usable thread in the livedocs and am now a happier
camper.

Creation of report with the help of report painter

Dear Experts,

my intension to create controlling report with the help of report painter.
I am ready to award full points.
Thanks in advance

Hello Chinasammy,
Report Painter allows you to create reports using data from SAP application components, which you can adapt to meet your individual requirements.
Many of your reporting requirements can already be met by using the standard reports provided by various SAP application components. If these SAP standard reports do not meet your reporting needs, Report Painter enables you to define your specific reports quickly and easily.
When executing a Report Painter report, it is displayed by the system in Report Writer format. You thus have access to the same functions as for Report Writer reports defined in the same way, and can combine Report Painter and Report Writer reports together in a report group.
Report Painter uses a graphical report structure, which forms the basis for your report definition and displays the rows and columns as they appear in the final report output.
To facilitate report definition, you can use many of the standard reporting objects provided by SAP (such as libraries, row/column models, and standard layouts) in your own specific reports. When you define a Report Painter report you can use groups (sets). You can also enter characteristic values directly.
Advantages of Report Painter include:
Flexible and simple report definition
Report definition without using sets
Direct layout control: The rows and columns are displayed in the report definition as they appear in the final report output, making test runs unnecessary.
=============================================
Below mentioned is the process for creating reports using Report Painter as a tool.
Selecting and maintaining a library for your report: As the transfer structure to Report Painter you use a report table, which is defaulted by SAP and can not be maintained. This table contains characteristics, key figures and predefined columns. In a library, you collect the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns from the report table, which you need for your Report Painter reports.
When you define a Report Painter report, you assign it to a library. Reports assigned to one library can only use the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns selected for that library.
When you create or maintain a library, the Position field determines the sequence in which the characteristics, key figures or (predefined) key figures appear in the Report Painter selection lists when you define a report. This allows you to position the objects that you use regularly in your reports at the beginning of the selection lists. If you do not make an entry in the Position field, you will not be able to use this object in Report Painter reports.
You can use either the standard SAP libraries for your reports or define your own.
(ii) Selecting or maintaining a standard layout for your report: Standard layouts determine report layout features and the format of your report data.If the SAP standard layouts do not meet your reporting requirements, you can create a new standard layout or change an existing one.
(iii) Defining row and column models: A model is a one-dimensional, predefined reporting structure that you can insert in either the rows or columns of your report.If you often use the same or similar row or column definitions in your reports, it is recommended that you create row or column models.
You must define the row and/or column models that you want to include in your report definition before you define the report.
You can also use the standard column models supplied by SAP.
(iv) Defining the report: Defining a Report Painter report involves the following steps.
(a) Define the report columns: You define the report columns using the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns selected for the library that the report uses. Alternatively, you can use a column model for column definition. Column models are predefined column structures which you insert into your entire column definition, instead of defining each individual column.
(b) Define the report rows: You define the report rows using the characteristics selected for the library selected for the report.
Alternatively, you can use a row model for your row definition. Row models serve the same purpose as column models, but are used to define a report row.
Edit and format the report rows and columns in line with your requirements. (For example, you can hide rows or columns, define the column width or define colors for your report rows).
(iii)Define general data selection criteria for the selection of your report data: Selection criteria are the characteristics used to select data for the entire report. You cannot enter characteristics as data selection criteria if they are already being used in the report rows or columns.
(iv) Assigning the report to a report group: Once you have defined a report, you must assign it to a report group. A report group can contain one or more reports from the same library. However, reports that share the same data will select data more quickly and improve processing time.
Hopw this helps you. Please let me know if you need anything more and assign points.

How can I create an executable with Flex Builder 3?

I'm working with Flex Builder 3 right now and I've run my
head into a brick wall. Here's the situation:
I'm creating a standalone application (runs in its own
window, not in a web page) and I want to run it on a computer that
does not have Flex Builder 3 installed. Help files and web searches
haven't directed me to the right answer, so I was hoping that
someone on this forum could help. Anyone know how to create a .exe
file or something else that can be run outside of Flex Builder?
Thanks a lot for any help!

Anyway, with Flex Builder, I created an MXML Application. I
went through all my various options again in Flex Builder and found
that under the project menu, I could export a release build in what
appears to be the format you mentioned. I managed to create a .air

double clicking it and the built-in windows services couldn't even
find a possible way to run it. Am I missing some important step?
Thanks again.
