How to use Flex Components with Flash?

Hi!!
I found a lot of very useful components in the web, but they are all for Flex, is it possible to use Flex Components with Flash IDE?
Thanks !!!

PS: this is one of the components I need to use (a tree with checkbox nodes)

Flex components are delivered as SWCs just like Flash components, but the
SWC format is incompatible with the Flash IDE.
Also, the default fl.. components in the Flash IDE are incompatible with
Flex components.
You should be able to load a Flex SWF into a Flash SWF as long as you aren't
using fl.. components in the Flash SWF. If the Flex SWF overlays things
in your Flash SWF then it might block interaction, but otherwise it
shouldn't. I don't think the statement you quoted is true for all
configurations.
But loading a Flex SWF into a Flash SWF isn't going to help you use those
Flex components from your Flash IDE. Try Flash Builder 4 to build out the
Flex portion of your application. I haven't tried it myself, but it I think
it is supposed to have better integration with Flash.

Using Flex components within Flash CS3

I'm new to Flex and I enjoy all of the components that it has
to offer, but I am wondering about their availability within Flash.
My plan is to make a highly animated and interactive menu and
I have reached a point where I have to ask two questions:
1. Is is possible to use any of the Flex components within
Flash CS3?
2. If the first is not possible, then if I make my menu and
specify "containers" within the Flash file then is it possible to
populate these "containers" with Flex components by making the
Flash (.swf) file of my menu into a Flex component itself?

No, Flex components cannot be used in Flash 8.

Can I use Flex with Adobe Media Encoder to automate encoding?

I am thinking about learning Flex assuming I can do the following.
Can I use Flex to automate the process of converting/encoding videos from many formats to FLV format?
If so, what encoder do I use for this process? Flash media encoder?
Can Flash Media Encoder interface with Flex (PHP/XML/ActionScript) to automatically with presets configuered convert/encode videos that have been uploaded and placed into a folder into FLV format?
Thanks.

Guys,
I have developed a simple script ( batch file *.bat)) that will check if encoding is still being done ( every 60+ secs ) and if the process is over, it will shutdown the PC. I tried to keep the code very very simple so that others can improve it.
For now , i have tested this on Windows 7 SP1 - 64 bits and it wokrs well.
Here is the code, copy and paste it into notepad - i named it AutoPowerOff-AdobeMediaEnCoder.bat
..........copy code below ..........
@echo off
echo.
date /t
time /t
echo.
:StartMonitoring
echo.
echo.
echo.
color 0f
echo Start monitoring Adobe Media Encoding Process
echo Check every 60 secs via KeepMonitoring
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 60 > nul
Goto Check
:KeepMonitoring
echo.
echo.
echo.
color 0f
echo Continue Monitoring Adobe Media Encoding Process - every 60s
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 60 > nul
Goto Check
:Check
echo.
echo.
echo.
color 0e
echo Checking If Encoding Process Over ?
echo.
echo.
color 0a
tasklist | find /i "PProHeadless.exe"
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO AutoPowerOFF
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 echo. && echo Encoding Still In Progress && GOTO KeepMonitoring
:AutoPowerOFF
echo.
echo.
echo.
color 0c
echo Process PProHeadless.exe does not exist anymore
echo Assume Encoding DONE
echo PC Poweroff Initiated
echo.
echo.
echo ShutDown PC After 60 sec
shutdown /s /t 60
:END
....... end of code ..............
If some of you can check it out on other platforms and report back, i can maintain this thread.

Marco.

Can I use iAd in my flash package?

What can I use instead of adobe flash 9?

What can I use instead of Adobe Flash 9 on iPad mini?

There are a number of apps in teh app store that provide "translation" type services for flash content (iSwifter, Puffin are a couple, there may be more). Basically these apps take the flash video content and route it to a third server that converts it to a different format and then routes to your device. Reveiws are mixed and they may not work with all flash content.
Alternately, you might check to see if the specific sites youare visiting have their own apps.

In start disc mode can I use a external USB flash drive on MAC Book Pro

In start disc mode can I use a external USB flash drive on MAC Book Pro?

To do what? Yes you can connect a USB flash drive to the system and if it has the Recovery HD files on it you can boot from it. If it has the OS X install files on it you can boot from it. If it is large enough to contain a Time Machine backup on it you can restore your system from it.
So what do you want to do with the USB thumb drive?

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.

Can I import custom components from Flash 8?

I'm creating a custom Flash Video Playback component in Flash
8 using AS2. I understand that I cannot import this to Flex as
stated in Livedocs: "You can use SWC files created in Flash 8 only
for skinning, not as components. Until the next version of Flash is
released, you can only use SWC files created in Flex 2 as
components."
But now that Flash 8 supports AS3 with the new Adobe Labs
add-on, if I create the custom component using AS3 in Flash 8, can
I then import it and use it in Flex 2.0.1?
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks!

To add to this topic :), since AVM for flash 8 and flash 9
are different, swf files in as3 and as2 live in different worlds.
This means you can load flash 8 movies at runtime but you wont be
able to control them at all, just as if they where a JPG file. So
in order to have some interaction, the best option is to recompile
the SWF in flash 9. You might need to do a lot of reprogramming
though.
As a work around the AS3 team suggest to use LocalConnection
between them, but to my opinion this might require the same
rewriting effort as to transform the movie to flash 9 on the first
place.

Workflow for creating Flex components in Flash CS5 needs work

Am I missing something? I thought things were supposed to be easier.
I'm creating an AIR application for a client with heavy embedded video.
I have chewed up days on trying to get stuff to work, mostly creating a graphics heavy component that I can use in the AIR (Flex) app.
Just clicking the magic "Convert Symbol to Flex Component" command won't do it if you have created your own .as class for the symbol, because it won't compile unless you extend the UIMovieClip class. Good luck trying to find it in the namespace.
After hours I found where to download the Flex Component Kit that contains the swc that gives you the UIMovieClip class.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1273 018#
Notice the title of the page: Flex Component Kit Alpha for Flex 2.0.1
Shouldn't the need for this kit be ancient history? Shouldn't that swc be built in to the new SDK's and/or Flash Builder 4?
Make my living on Adobe products, and love them, but this is sloppy. No documentation. No walk-throughs. Have burned many hours that I can't charge the client for because it make me look incompetent.
Creating a Flex component in Flash with extended functionality SHOULD be a no brainer.

I managed to get it work at the end...
First, the components directory was at this location:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS5\en_US\Configuration\Components
Then, to make a component out of a MovieClip, right click on the MovieClip in the library and select "Component Definition" and check the checkbox "Display in Components Panel". What I did then was to right click on the MovieClip and selected export swc file, and saved it in the directory above. This exported only one Component, which was fine for me. Probably it would be possible to do something similar to save a library of components as a .fla or .scw or so, but I don't know the details.

Can i use flex to consume web services?

I am not a Flex developer and before delving into it I want
to be sure that it satisfies my project requirements. Mainly,
consuming web services. the other part of the project are a bunch
of buttons and graphs that constitute any GUI. so I think Flex can
handle this part as good as Flash.
Currently, I am using flash but my current client insists on
using flex. so my question is: can I develop in Flex whatever I can
develop in flash? or are there limitations?

If you are developing applications in Flash, then you will
love Flex. Flex will make you much more productive than Flash for
producing applications of any complexity. You can do at least
"most" of what you can do in Flash, and more. There might be a few
things you can do only in Flash, or more easily in Flex, but your
client has it right. They want Flex and they should want it. Check
out the FB3 help for the WebService, RemoteObject, and HTTPService
components.

Using Flex components in Java application

Hello,
I was learning Flex previously, and I thought I remembered reading somewhere that I can use Flex UI components in a Java application. For instance, I could use Flex for the UI, and Java for the backend. I can't find though the documentation for this. I read this last summer. I don't mean using Flex as a UI in a browser and Java on the server, but a Java application that runs on the client with a Flex UI. I thought what I needed was the flex compiler api, but I looked at the flex compiler api documentation and it isn't what I want.
Does anyone know what this "part" of Flex is that I am talking about, but can't remember?
Thanks,
Vance

No, thanks, but that wasn't what I was thinking of.
What I remember looking at was some library that allowed wrapping Flex UI componnts in Java Swing components. Then the Swing components could be used in the Java app. One main objective of my wrapping Flex in Java is to use flash.media.Video class to play flash video.

Using Flex Code in Flash

Hi everyone,
I really hope you can help me with this. Here's my
situation...
I've developed a flex application that connects to another
java application using "BlazeDS". It works great!! The reason why I
did this is because I'm developing (along with a Flash designer) a
website of a music band, and I use java to connect to a database
that has all the "gigs", news and subscribers to the website.
Everything works great in Flex, my problem is I'm not a
designer, I'm a developer. So I wanted to know if there's a way I
can just give my designer friend a code so he can use it in Flash
CS3?? (Like to send him objects containing the info. For example,
give him a concerts object that contains the date and the location
so he can build the datagrids for the concerts page in Flash)
I think there must be a way to use Flex libraries in CS3, or
maybe create some kind of Flex class that will work as a
"communication interface" between the database and the flash code,
I'm really not sure...
In other words, I need to know how can my designer friend use
(in Flash) what I've developed in Flex.
Please let me know if there's a way...
Just in case you need to know, I use Flex's Eclipse plug in
(it's easier for me this way cause I have java and flex in the same
place!)
Thanks!!!!!!

No need then to use the LocalConnection. In a listener
function (add a listener function for the complete event of the
SWFLoader) you can retrieve a reference to the loaded swf and get
the two values from the swf if they are public and on frame 1 of
the main timeline.
private function onSWFLoaded():void
//retrieve a reference to the loaded swf
var loadedSWF:MovieClip = logn.content as MovieClip;
<mx:SWFLoader autoLoad="true" id="logn" source="main.swf"
horizontalCenter="8" verticalCenter="185" height="364" width="588"
complete="onSWFLoaded()"></mx:SWFLoader>
