Can Flex3 generated swf load Flash Builder generated swf?

Hi All,
My company is corrently using Flex 3 appliaction (Host application) to host other Flex3 applications (Widgets).
We load the host application and the host appliaction loads couple of widgets (using SWFLoader) that were also compiled using flex bulder 3.
My qustion is, can i load swf files that where compiled using Flash Builder my Flex3 host application swf?
Thasnk in advance,
Lior

Old content cannot load content from newer versions. You can go the other way around though, so upgrade the main app to Flex 4 and you can load Flex 3 content into it

Where can I get docs for Flash Builder?

Hi-
I've tried numerous places but can't seem to find Flash Builder 4 specific documentation.
I'm working with the examples provided on the adobe labs site (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcatalyst/tutorials/) and I was looking for a way to get the value from a service call to word wrap inside of a DataGrid (for example, if the returned value is longer than the row length of my DataGrid, my expectation was that by checking the Word Wrap checkbox inside of the Configure Columns context box would do the trick, but it does not).
It would be great to know where the reference materials are for all of those available properties and values that are listed for each component inside of Flash Builder 4. Otherwise it makes working with this application next to impossible for us noobies to Flex.
Anyone know?
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Rich,
The wordWrap property is listed at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/gumbo/langref/mx/controls/DataGrid.html under the Properties heading. It can be a bit tricky as the wordWrap property is actually inherited from the ListBase class, so it may be necessary to toggle the "Show Inherited Public Properties" so the inherited properties are also listed. You can read more about the wordWrap property at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/gumbo/langref/mx/controls/listClasses/ListBase.html#wordWra p, and here is a simple example:

How can I get back to Flash Builder 4.5 ?

I have Flash Build 4.6 in the creative cloud monthly subscription.
Design mode does not work in 4.6.
All the tutorials are currently using 4.5 and the functional design mode.
How can I get back to 4.5 which actually works?

No error, just a blank white area. When I drag things to it I get a NO sign like the Ghostbusters sign, forgot what that's called.
When I breifly had 4.5, I could easily drag things over and create sites. Then it automatically upgraded and suddenly, doing the exact same things, stopped working.
I'm still learning FB so I can't convert to pure code yet. If I can't get the design mode to work then I'll be dumping FB since I can't follow any of the tutorials.

How can I save/export a Flash Builder ActionScript Project?

Is it possible to do this and then copy the project to another machine and open the project up in Flash Builder?
cheers.

Glenn
Please remind me what computer operating system you are using for your Premiere Elements 13?
I do not think that is involved. I suspect it is the thin scroll bar but let us check that out.
Let us say that you want want to export an .avi file, you use that thin scroll bar to scroll through
MPEG
AVCHD
XAVC-S
AVI
Windows Media
QuickTime
Image
Audio
until you scroll to AVI and then make your choice of preset for AVI. If you decide the AVI default preset is not what
you want, then you press on the Advanced Button for that AVI preset to get at the preset customization area.
As you can see, there is more scrolling to be done to get to Windows Media (wmv) which is further toward
the bottom of the list.
Please consider and let us know the outcome. If those choices are really missing, then we are in major trouble
which may require a program uninstall, ccleaner run through, and reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
We will be watching for your results.
Thanks.

Is it possible to convert Flex3 projects directly to Flash Builder 4?If so how?

Hello Madam/Sir,
I have a Flex3 project which was running successfully. Now i need to run it using Flash Builder4. So is there any way by which we can run the same project directly in Flash Builder4 without any manual changes to be done in the code. Please reply as soon as possible.
Thank you.

I can't use my license key Flash Builder 4.5 with this release. Someone can help me ?

Hi,
Flash Builder 4.5 serial number will not work directy in Flash Builder 4.7. You can use FB 4.5 key in upgrade scenario (upgradation from FB 4.5 to FB 4.7).
Please use the Flash Builder 4.7 serial number provided at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_flashbuilder4-7 for serialing Flash Builder 4.7.

How can I Upgrade Flash Builder Standard from 4.6 to 4.7

How can I Upgrade my purchased Flash Builder Standard 4.6 to Flash Builder Standard 4.7 Standard?
Current serial number is not valid? Where can I request a new one?
this link [ Buying guide | Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Standard ] shows that this update is free?
So is it really free?

You might think very well before upgrading. Flash Builder 4.7 doesn't work fine.

How to put ActionScript into Catalyst project via Flash Builder?

I don't know if this is the wrong place to put this, but I need to add some ActionScript into my Catalyst project... from what I understand, it can only be done via Flash Builder. Am I right? How?

Hi Alex,
To edit the code of a Flash Catalyst project, you can import it into Flash Builder as follows:
File > Import > Flash Builder Project
Select the FXP file from Catalyst
Make sure "Import new copy of project" is selected, then hit Finish
I'm not sure where you got the ActionScript code that you're planning to use, but it may be difficult to integrate into your project if it's not designed for use with Flex (a lot of AS code snippets you'll find online are just for general use in Flash, not tailored for Flex applications). But you'll probably want to do something like this:
Locate the image you want to make random. If you're having trouble doing this, switch the view to Design mode, select the image with the mouse, and then switch back to Code mode to see the corresponding code highlighted.
If there's no id attribute set on the image, add one (so you can refer to it in code later).
If the tag is s:BitmapImage, change it to mx:Image (this is needed to make the contents dynamic)
If the root s:Application tag doesn't have a creationComplete handler, add one (type it partway, then hit Ctrl+Space, then choose "Generate Handler").
In the handler, add your code to randomly select an image filename.
Then set <your image's id>.source = <filename>
Hope that helps!

How do you connect Flash Builder to a NON-LOCAL PHP Server?

Is it possible to connect Flash Builder 4 to a non-local PHP Server? In my case, I want to connect to a PHP server on my web-host (similar to GoDaddy).
This seems like a really stupid question, but every single tutorial or forum post I've Googled in the past 2 hours talk about how easy this is but all of them use "...localhost..." in the Root URL and I can't find anywhere in Flash Builder to enter FTP style credientals!
I do not want to turn my PC into a PHP/SQL/IIS server. I want to be able to do all of my work remotely as I do with Dreamweaver.
I've been trying to do this one simple thing for the better part of 2 days and can't believe how under-documented this feature is.
Please please please help!
Thanks
Charles

Upload your services to a directory on your host, upload your remoting app (Zend AMF etc) and configure it, then change the end point in your code to the gateway.php on your server:
yourService.endpoint = "http://www.yoururl.com/pathway-to-your/gateway.php";
For instance, one of mine are:
protected function updateButton_Click(event:MouseEvent):void
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                support_Requests.ticket_id = supportGrid.selectedItem.ticket_id;
                support_Requests.hub = supportGrid.selectedItem.hub;
                support_Requests.username = supportGrid.selectedItem.username;
                support_Requests.contactNumber = supportGrid.selectedItem.contactNumber;
                support_Requests.email = supportGrid.selectedItem.email;
                support_Requests.request = supportGrid.selectedItem.request;
                support_Requests.status = statusButtons.selectedValue.toString();
                support_Requests.note = noteUpdate.text;
                supportRequestsService.endpoint = "http://www.not-telling-you-my-url/app-resources/gateway.php";
                updateSupport_RequestsResult.token = supportRequestsService.updateSupport_Requests(support_Requests);
                currentState='Home';

Flash Builder 4.7 - Command line ExportReleaseBuild unable to compile to Captive Runtime?

Hi,
I am working on a project with the following setup:
- AIR Desktop running with the ExtendedDesktop Profile with GPU rendermode
- Apache Flex SDK 4.11
- SWF version 18
- Implements the FRESteamWorksNative Extension
- Flash Builder 4.7 Premium is our work enviroment
Our problem is that we can compile the project in Flash Builder manually as Captive Runtime, but when we run it with ExportReleaseBuild in our build.xml, it seems to forget our Captive runtime target and just outputs the installer.
This is our buildscript:
build.bat:
SET FLASHBUILDER="%ADOBE_PATH%\%FLASHBUILDER_PATH%\FlashBuilderC.exe"
%FLASHBUILDER% --launcher.suppressErrors -noSplash -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -data "%WORKSPACE%" -file "%BUILDXML%" desktop
build.xml:
<target name="desktop">
     <fb.exportReleaseBuild verbose="true" destdir="bin-test" project="ProjectName" basefilename="ProjectBaseFileName" packagetype="native" certificate="Certificate.p12" password="passwordToUse"/>
</target>
.actionScriptProperties:
<buildTargets>
    <buildTarget buildTargetName="default" platformId="default">
      <airSettings airCertificatePath="Certificate.p12" airTimestamp="true" anePathSet="true" version="1">
        <airExcludes/>
        <anePaths>
          <anePathEntry path="steamworks/FRESteamWorks.ane"/>
        </anePaths>
        <newLaunchParams/>
        <modifiedLaunchParams/>
        <newPackagingParams/>
        <modifiedPackagingParams>
          <Parameter name="-target" value="air-captive"/>
    <Parameter name="-extdir" value="steamworks/"/>
        </modifiedPackagingParams>
      </airSettings>
      <actionScriptSettings version="1"/>
    </buildTarget>
</buildTargets>
Any help with this is much appreciated, and if I missed something, please let me know.

Using TransformGestureEvents in Flash Builder

Hi all,
I am trying to use the TransformGestureEvents to allow interaction inside of a FLARE based application. I want to create a data visualisation app with touch interaction.
I have Flash Player 10.1, which is needed for these classes, as i have already used them in a Flash CS5 test project, and i worked great! But when i try to import the transform gesture events, an error appears saying:
1172: Defination flash.events:TransformGestureEvents could not be found.
Has anyone got any idea how i can use TransformGestureEvents inside of Flash Builder?
Any advice, is deeply appreciated!
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply!
I am using flex 4.0 SDK and flash player 10.1.
Since then i have tried to use the adobe air 2.5 SDK because I read somewhere that it included Touch events. I have tried to overlay the AIR SDK into my Flex 4.0 SDK folder and it doesn't seem to have worked. I am using a mac and the documentation out there to do this , isn't exactly straight forward and ive followed the instructions, but no success. Im really surprised that Adobe have not released a flex SDk with Touch events include, i mean it seem dumb not too!?!?
Maybe if i gave you more of an insight into what i want to achieve, this could help.
I want to use flash builder to create a search for a series of media API's (e.g Spotify/Last.FM or YouTube) the user would search for what they want and the results would be displayed in a Radial Tree Layout using the FLARE library to construct the visualisaton and I wanted to use Gestures to enable the user to navigate around the results, (ZOOMING, SELECTING, etc). I have thought about using OpenFrameworks to do this, but I would prefer to use FLASH.
I am creating this project for my Final Degree!
Any advice on this, would be great.

Flash builder error #3500

It is apparently impossible to use flash builder in conjunction with air native extensions on OSX.
Creating the extension context works without complaint, but calling any of the functions provided
results in "error #3500: The extension context does not have a method named ..."
It cost me a lot of time (and therefore my company's money) to discover that the ANE is actually fine, and can be
invoked outside of flash builder, by an appropriate command line, or by packaging a release executable.
This total package of behavior is very unsatisfactory, and has been known about for at least two years.
Even with the workaround (release packaging, or invoking using a command line) the workflow is
severely degraded.
for reference, the most helpful explanation of the workaround is at this URL
http://riawanderer.com/2012/03/27/working-with-air-native-extensions-on-the-mac/ *note the date of this post!*
then search for the panel that follows the text
"Now that simple demo code is ready, let’s run and see what does it do. When you run the app you should see below error indicating that Flex Builder Bug exists :)."

Go to this directory:
<workspace directory>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources
and delete this file:
.snap
This resolved the problem for me.

Accessibility with flash builder and a screen reader

hi. a blind website student, using the Jaws for Windows screen reader from htttp://www.freedomscientific.com. was trying to build a basic flash builder flex project, and using jaws 13.0.718, on a toshiba laptop with windows 7 professional 32 bit. now using the adobe cs 5.5 student web premium. i then pressed alt f, then new, then arrow right to flex project. then put in my name of the project, clicked to browse the folder, then there was a next and finish button, well clicked the finish button. the code windows comes up, press control !~ which took me to design view. now my troubles start. have to use the mouse cursur for jaws, which is the jaws cursur. and now, was able to left click using the caps key, which is the insert key, and then able to use the f 8 key for left click mouse simulation. but then came to a tree view, pressed t, until i heard text area, then tabbed around. no add button. so how do i add a component using the keyboard. or do i need to enable accessibility. and also tried to get to the properties of the control. managed to do that some how, but could not find the id property. so if any one can help me, new to flash builder and flex. Marvin, From Devonport, tasmania, australia. if any one can help please e-mail me via [email protected]

No I used relative path - the path is images/image name
example images/cRight.png
tried downloading Extension Builder 2.1 and compiling on Mac but still have same results - images show up fine in design window , but not when running panel in Photoshop
Created a new project: testImage
added an image component to form
answered yes to add asset to project
ran project
image did not show up in Photoshop
went back to project
checked item Embed under Common image properties
ran project and image shows up
Looks like it works if I add @Embed("assets/image name") on Mac to display images
tried in my real project:
Looks like it works if I add @Embed("images/image name") on Mac to display images
When I change this on PC to @Embed("images/image name") images do not show Up
Don't know if I need to create two versions one for Mac one for PC
Don't know how this would affect product on Adobe Exchange

Flash Builder 4 - Feature Request: Code Hints Tabs/Filter

TO: Adobe Flash Builder 4 Development Team
It would be really cool if you gave us the ability to filter out by Events, CSS/Styles, Effects... through the use of tabs.
Example. I pull up Code Hints and want to see all available Effects that I can apply an animation to so I click on Effects tab at the top and all of the code hints filter to show me just Effects to get back I simply click an All tab.

You can already do this in Flash Builder 4 with code hints cycling. With the code hint popup already open, press CTRL+Space to cycle through filtered sets of tags/attributes:
Tags:
Recommended
All
Properties
Events
Effects
Styles
