Distributing the Flex SDK with another application

Hi,
I understand that the Flex 2 SDK is a free download from
Adobe, but am I also allowed to redistribute it?
For example, if I write a program where I need to generate
swfs dynamically, can I distribute the Flex SDK with the program,
so that all I need to do is generate SWF files and invoke the
mxmlc?
Thanks,
Roy

The name of the self-signed cert that is generated in the "Create the APK package file" step is sampleCert.pfx, but the name of the file in the next step is sampleCert.p12. This should be fixed.

Do I need flash builder 4 to work with the flex sdk?

Is it necessary to use flash builder 4 to work with the flex sdk?
Can you build apps just using the open source flex sdk. If so are there tutorials and books on how to do so?
Thanks in advance for your help.

No, you don't need Flash Builder to use the Flex SDK. If you download the SDK and unzip it, you'll find a 'bin' directory that has the mxmlc compiler in it. You can compile Actionscript or MXML files using that.
./mxmlc MyFlexApp.mxml
If you are building an AIR application, you will use amxmlc
./amxmlc MyAIRFlexApp.mxml
Then, launch your AIR application using adl
./adl.exe MyAIRFlexApp-app.xml
Hope this helps,
Joan

TS1702 I'm not able to update Smurf's Village. Tried most of the things proposed on the net including restarting the iPad and trying syncing with the computer. Had a similar issue with another application. Had to delete and reinstall it, with all history

I'm not able to update Smurf's Village. Tried most of the things proposed on the net including restarting the iPad and trying syncing with the computer. Had a similar issue with another application. Had to delete and reinstall it, with all history lost.
Tried following up with the developer's instruction. Didn't help. Developer suggested contacting Apple if their instruction didn't work. Tried the various methods recommended on the Apple site. Same result.

Telling is that you tried most of the things on the net doesn't tell us exactly what you did try, so we are all still left to guess .....
Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again
If that doesnt work - go to Settings>General>Date and Time - set the date ahead by a few months. Try to update again. If you get an error message of any kind - go back and change the date and time to automatic again. Then try again.
If that doesn't work, restart your router and reboot the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

For pure AS3 development do we still need to overlay the FLEX SDK?

Hi Guys
I've found this whole SDK overlay business a mess and very confusing. I've found this document
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/ane-android-devices.html
which states
"The distribution of the AIR SDK with ASC 2.0 is for pure ActionScript development only. It should not be combined with an existing Flex SDK.
To support Flex application development with newer versions of the AIR SDK, an AIR SDK overlay distribution that does not include ASC 2.0 needs to be overlaid over the Flex SDK bundled with Flash Builder 4.7."
So if we are doing pure AS3 development there is no longer any need to do any 'overlaying' of one SDK Folder onto another. We just need to get the latest AIR SDK with complier ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html )
We should then update the AIR SDK if using Flash Builder via ( http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder. html ) (Note it still uses the term 'overlay' but you are not really overlaying but replacing).
Is this conclusion correct. Do we just need the SDK with the new compilier and nothing else ?
Can someone from Adobe confirm please ?
Thanks
PS - I've asked this question on the Flash Builder Forom but there's been no response.

Yes, that's correct, for pure AS3 development you need not use the Flex SDK overlay. For this you should use asc2 compiler available at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html . Also below are step to overlay your AIR SDK with Flash builder 4.7
1. Exit Flash Builder.
2. Back up the AIR SDK availabe at Application/FB4.7/eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722/ by copying the entire directory and rename it to something AIRSDKversion. Now, you have two folder AIRSDK(default one) and AIRSDKversion(copied one).
3. Download the appropriate AIR SDK file for your operating system e.g. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html unzip and save it on your MAC OS X.
4. On Terminal, run the below command
sudo ditto /path/air3-8_sdk_sa_mac /Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.7/eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722/AIRSDK
/path/air3-8_sdk_sa_mac -> path where you downloaded the AIR SDK
/Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.7/eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722/AIRSDK -> path where you overlay the new AIR SDK
5. (Optional) To access the new AIR 3.8 APIs, update your application descriptor file to the 3.8 namespace.
To update the namespace, change the xmlns attribute in your application descriptor to: <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.8">
6. (Optional) To ensure that the output SWF file targets SWF version 21, pass an additional compiler argument: -swf-version=21.
Hope this will help.

Nimit

How to setup Flex SDK with latest AIR SDK?

Now the latest AIRSDK web page has a small link at the bottom for Flex users and it states that Flex users should take the SDK version without the compiler. BUT....
the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html page says to download the SDK from
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/asc2.html
but this page now redirects to:
http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html
which contains a large list of archived SDK's. So that help page never really says which version of the SDK to use - with or without the compiler. But other forum posts have implied its suppose to be the one with the compiler.
Now since we're overlaying the ...plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722\AIRSDK folder that would make sense.
But now there's a second overlay instructions page at:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/how-overlay-air-sdk-flex-sdk.html
with different instructions.
So my questions are:
   Which overlay instructions are we really suppose to use?
   Which version of the AIR SDK (with or with-out compiler) are we suppose to use?
   What does the Flex Library Project properties -> Flex Library Compiler -> 'Include Adobe AIR libraries' checkbox really do?
        If I've followed the (first) overlay instructions above, does this checkbox now mean I'm using the overlaid AIR SDK 3.6
        with the current Flex SDK I've chosen?
        What if I'm using the Apache Flex 4.9.1 SDK? Will the AIR SDK 3.6 overlay that?
            (Doesn't Apache Flex have AIR 3.4 embedded - will this confuse Flash Builder 4.7 ?)
Is it just me, or is this just getting more and more confusing? Can we perhaps get a AIR SDK combo box to go beside the Flex combo box and when we check the 'Include Adobe AIR libraries' then we can select the AIR SDK we want? And get a 'configure AIR SDKs...' link too? Then perhaps we can get completely away from overlays and all this merged SDK nonsense. I've had nothing but problems with it.
The real reason I need all this info is because I'm trying to use Flash Builder 4.7 to build an Android ANE and I'm having a devil of a time just trying to find my resources. When I use context.getResourceID() I'm not getting the correct resources - and after reviewing other posts here I came to the conclusion that it might be due to bugs in older AIR SDK's. So really, at the moment I could care less about the latest Flex SDK, I just need to know I'm working from the latest AIR SDK.
Thanks in advance.

If you are not using Flash Builder go here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html
At the bottom it says:
Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler. Mac Windows.
Download the proper one for your OS and then extract it over your existing Flex SDK directory.
EDIT: Just read your post again and noticed you mentioned Flash Builder. In that case you want to follow these directions: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html and grab the version with the compiler at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html

Flex SDK with createRectangleTexture() ?

Sorry if this is entirely the wrong forum for this question, but I'm stumped...
I see there's a Context3D function called createRectangleTexture(), which I'd like to try using. I'm creating a Flash app using AS3 and C++, via FlasCC. Currently am using the Flex 4.6 SDK; alas, this does not seem to include a sufficiently recent version of Context3D, and so of course compilation fails when I try to use this function. The documentation suggests this is in AIR 3.6; however, the docs for Flex tell me to not overlay a newer version of AIR onto the Flex SDK (and at this point, I cannot even tell if AIR 3.6 actually provides createRectangleTexture()).
Any help/pointers/suggestions in regard to this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Using Eclipse project definitions to build the Flex SDK

It would be great if someone from Adobe could post on the recommended usage of the Eclipse project definitions in the development/eclipse/ subdirectory of the 3.0.x trunk distribution. I would like to debug some compiler modifications that I am working on.
I saw Peter Farland demo this setup at 360Flex, but was unable to capture all the details of the Eclipse configuration that he discussed in his talk.
thanks!

If you go to the framework project’s properties, there is a section called Flex Library Compiler, you want to use a specific flex sdk (add a new sdk which points to the trunk, and use that) — you are probably building /against/ the wrong sdk, right code, wrong compiler.

Try changing the sdk for the framework lib project to trunk (you'll need to add a new flex sdk, name it whatever you want) -- it's in the project properties. It's using the wrong compiler.

I would probably prefer to work on the 3.0.x branch/tag as I hope to submit a patch or two but saw Joe mention that the project defs only existed in the trunk.
Searching Google for the oem error turns up lots of links about projects that had assets deleted and the build got confused but following the instructions on how to fix proved unsuccessful.

I always forget what that error means when it comes up -- though it's been ages since I've seen it last, literally.
Joe: Since you mention Java 1.5, I'm guessing the errors are in the asdoc package? Those should be turned off (read: turned into a warning) -- Eclipse is a little too persnickety about that particular error. There's a preference for this in the Java section under warnings and errors. It's turned off in the trunk dev projects. Otherwise, you should be able to run the compiler directly with no problems (okay, one more caveat: there's a class loader issue with the OEM, fixed in trunk if you look for my Java 1.5 checkin).
Ben: What is your setup? What are you building (Ryan mentions trunk, Joe mentions 30x), which Eclipse, which dev projects, did you build the sdk from the commandline first, etc.?

Now, I have no clue how to define java_home/bin directory in
the system path. *Install the Flex SDK - Step #4
Can someone give me step by step details how to this? I've
never used Java or Flex.

Right now (automatically, without tampering with anything),
the system variable I have is:
Variable: Path

Somewhere in your pom.xml where you are configuring your build dependancies there will be a line <scope>caching</scope> this line is configuring the build to use a flex runtime shared library. This line is generating the error because caching is not a valid dependancy scope in maven 3 however mojos uses it anyway. There was a defect opened against flexmojos; I've linked it below.

What is the flex sdk

I am new to flex. I understand that SDKs are availablefor
many languages. I do not know what a SDK is for? Could you take a
bit of time and tell me "what is the flex sdk".

It's a software development toolkit for creating applications
written in the flex language that run on the flash runtime.
Similarly there's a Java SDK for creating Java apps, ditto for
C/C++, groovy, ruby, and the list goes on and on...
SDKs generally include a compiler or interpreter, a set of
libraries that provide some generally useful capabilities (e.g.,
math operations, string operations), and possibly some useful tools
such as debuggers.
Cheers,
Rich

Using the Flex SDK

Is it possible to install and use the Flex SDK without using
FlexBuilder?
If so, which IDE(s) could one use the SDK with and where
would one get those IDE(s)?

You can use any text editor to write mxml and/or as files and
use the compiler(s) that are included with the SDK to compile to an
swf (on the Mac, TextMate is excellent).
You can use the SDK's in conjunction with Flash Develop and
the FDT plugin for Eclipse, which both are IDE's for AS
development.

Must duplicate my photo because "this photo was previously edited with another application..."

I've always used both iPhoto and Adobe Photoshop Elements for editing my photos. Previously, I could edit in the external application (Adobe PE), save the photo (back to iPhoto), go back into iPhoto and then still edit that photo within iPhoto if I wanted to.
Recently, though, if I edit a photo in Adobe PE and save it, if I attempt to edit it further within iPhoto, I am warned: "Image Cannot Be Edited: This photo was previously edited with another application or with an early version of iPhoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it."
I don't WANT to keep duplicating my photos - it's a stupid waste and I just want to tweak my previously edited photo.
When did iPhoto start requiring duplication in order to edit a photo that had been worked on in another program?
And why?
And is there any way I can change this or get around it?
Thanks.

Where are you seeing these Jpegs when you duplicate the Raw?
Duplications are virtual. Try this test.
Select a Raw and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original
That brings you to the Master file in the iPhoto Library. It's selected.
Apply a label to it - In the Finder: File -> Label.
Now, back to the iPhoto Window and gp Photos -> Duplicate
You now have a second snap in the Event -> My Photo - version 2
Select Version 2 and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original
Notice that it brings you to the same file.
So, you've duplicated the Photo, not the file.

Cookies (working with another application)

Hello,
I am currently working on a project. I finished everything in the project but there are many requests to bypass the login page. Currently users log on to a facutly site which then gives them the link to my application. The password for the faculty site and my own differ. They are requesting that the login page can be avoided when opening the application from the faculty site.
I read a similar thread at Re: How to co-work with another application with Cookie or something
So, the faculty page would authenticate. My application uses the same database, but should work well as is. There is no transfering of information between applications. Basically all my application needs to do is log the user in automatically.
I believe this is done via cookies. I've tried some OWA_COOKIE procedures, but I think I am doing it all wrong. It is an area that I've never covered.
Any help would be great. Thanks
-Tim

On a further note,
I used the same logic as in the thread Re: How to co-work with another application with Cookie or something
On page 150 I set the cookie using:
begin
owa_util.mime_header('text/html', FALSE);
owa_cookie.send(
expires => sysdate+10,
name=>'TEST',
value=>lower('testing'));
wwv_flow.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
owa_util.redirect_url('f?p=&APP_ID.:200:&SESSION.');
exception when others then null;
end;
Then on page 200 I read it using:
declare
v varchar2(255) := null;
c owa_cookie.cookie;
begin
c := owa_cookie.get('srprt');
:TEXTFIELD1 := '';
:TEXTFIELD1 := c.vals(1);
exception when others then null;
end;
this works. So what I would like to do now is read in a cookie from the other site. Is this at all possible?

Keyboard shortcut for using the color picker in another application

Hi, I'm new here. My first post.
I remember there were a keyboard shortcut in Ps for using the color picker in another application. For example picking a color in a web browser. I just don't remember the keyboard shortcut. Anyone know it?
Regards,
Leif

Thanks! This was the method I was looking for. Unfortunately it doesn't work when I drag the eyedropper to a browser window on a secondary monitor. Maybe it has to do with my setup, Mac/Mavericks and Ps CC 2014. Anyway thanks for your help, you gave me the answer I was looking for.
