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

I am unable to register by Adobe flash builder 4.7 with the key i got from complimentary upgrade to Adobe Flash Builder 4.5

I am unable to register by Adobe flash builder 4.7 with the key i got from complimentary upgrade to Adobe Flash Builder 4.5
Please help

Kind of. I never actually solved the bug, but I did make it past the install.
Upon running Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Plug-in Installer it appeared to crash and only load a blank screen with a single unclickable button. It wasn't actually "hanging", and would react when I clicked on the program menu and moused over "Services". This would allow my clicks and keystrokes to register with the program, but only after I mouse over the "Services" menu item. For example, you need to click "okay", then mouse over "Services". When you want to enter text you need to click in the text box, and mouse over "Services". Then you need to type the text you want, and mouse over "Services" to see the text appear. It's a PITA, but you can get through the install by doing this.
After installing the FB plug-in starting eclipse with editors open appeared to cause errors. If this happens, this is because it seems that FB attempts to load when eclipse starts up. Close all editors and restart eclipse. The Welcome page for FB may pop open up. At the bottom there is a check box that will keep that form loading - check it. If the page does not open when eclipse starts, then open up an MXML file. The Welcome page should load, and you can check the box.
I hope this helps you move forward. Also, if you find an actual solution please let me know.

Attempting to use flash builder beta 2 with beta 1 sdk

Hi,
I'm running into a few issues migrating a project I've started in Flash Builder Beta 1.
The biggest mistake I probably made was uninstalling Beta 1 and I can't seem to find where to re-download it. Is it available somewhere?
It would not be necessary except for the fact that I'm catching errors trying to use Flash Builder Beta 2 with the 4.0.0.7219 sdk.
When I set my compiler to use the beta 1 sdk, Flash Builder first throws an internal build error. Then I can't return to properties > flex compiler, getting a "could not accept changes error." Below is the log output.
I plan to migrate my project to Beta 2, but would love to do it in a separate workspace...
Any help, suggestions much appreciated!

Hello,
I reproduced your issue exactly as you stated. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like FB Beta 1 is publicly available. To get out of the broken state, you can go to your workspace preferences (not project properties) and under Flash Builder > Installed Flex SDKS, switch back to the 4.0 Beta 2 SDK that came with Builder.
I am going to ask around to see what the problem might be, as I am unfamiliar with the code that is causing this. There may or may not be a workaround, but regardless, I think we'd recommend that you upgrade your project from Beta 1 SDK to Beta 2.
Thanks,

I have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

i have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

This is not my problem. However, I think it may be related to an old speaker. I was using the 30 pin adapter for about a week after the upgrade to 7.1.2. But I think with the update the speaker won't work anymore. I will try with a new speaker system. Thank you for trying to assist.

[svn] 762: -update the 3.0 branch to use build. properties to create the flex-sdk-description.xml

Log Message:
-update the 3.0 branch to use build.properties to create the flex-sdk-description.xml

By the way, simply adding the quotes around the lexical names in the sql statement doesn't work. That causes the lexical references to be ignored as simple string values:
SELECT
   '&FLEX_GL_BALANCING_APROMPT' alias_gl_balancing_aprompt
,'&FLEX_GL_ACCOUNT_LPROMPT'   alias_gl_account_lprompt
,'&ACCT_BAL_LPROMPT'          alias_acct_bal_lprompt
FROM dualI turned on statement-level debugging via xdodebug.cfg and saw how it compiled the lexicals. By replicating the call to apps.fnd_flex_xml_publisher_apis.kff_segments_metadata that I found there, I was able to hack together a workaround for this issue.
Please point me to a better way of doing this if possible, as I had to GRANT EXECUTE on this apps package to my custom code schema. Is there a better lexical/flexfields reference than the XML Publisher documentation?
Here is the call I made in my before-report trigger:
--set ACCT_BAL_LPROMPT flexfield segment metadata lexical
begin
apps.fnd_flex_xml_publisher_apis.kff_segments_metadata(
'FLEX_ACCT_BAL_LPROMPT',
'SQLGL',
'GL#',
101,
'GL_BALANCING',
'Y',
'LEFT_PROMPT',
c_FLEX_ACCT_BAL_LPROMPT
end;

Will xCode 4.3.3 work with the AE SDK?

I'm very new to this and trying to get my feet wet. I'm using xCode 4.3.3. Will this work with the SDK? Also, are there any xCode users that might help get me started?
Thanks, Bob

I have the latest Xcode (4.4) I think on MacOS Lion (not Mountain Lion yet) and I can't remember having much problems with the AE SDK examples or my own plugins regarding compilation. Xcode will automatically update and download the latest Apple-SDKs when needed.
I had some problems when "full optimisation" was switched on, then I had to change the compiler from LLVM to GCC in the settings, but that seems to be a quite common topic.
Anyway, start with the examples from the SDK and the included Xcode projects, it should work fine...

Upgraded to Mac OSX Lion, have an issue with Flash Builder 4.5.1 and Flex SDK 3.2

Howdy, I upgraded my mac yesterday to 10.7, and have run into an interesting problem.
I was using Flex Builder 3 before, using Flex SDK 3.2. After upgrading, I found that Flex Builder 3 is not compatible with Lion anymore, so I had to upgrade to Flash Builder 4.5.
This is fine, I just figured I would add the Flex 3.2 sdk, which I did. However, after adding my project to the workbench for Flash Builder 4.5, I see the following error:
http://cl.ly/3J3W0E22402G2I1L2U1Q
However, as far as I can tell, the following two screenshots mean I have installed the Flex 3.2 sdk:
http://cl.ly/1S0l1m2u1Z0z053Y3U29
http://cl.ly/3c3k2B161K1d1y2H332P
Does anyone know if this is even possible to do? I need to get back into development ASAP. If I can get Flex 3.2 SDK working in this environment, I am pretty sure I will be good to go.
Thanks so much!
Andrew

Are you a Windows developer that works with the Photoshop SDK?

We may have some work for you and your company. Please contact me at [email protected] for more information.
Thank you.

The Option "Start up automatically after a power failure" is under Power not UPS.SInce when the UPS settings shuts down the computer it is like a normal shutdown, not a loss of power shutdown. I do not see any setting that would restart the the computer after the UPS setting say shutdown the computer and power to the UPS is restored, to the UPS. It may be hard to do since with the computer shutdown the computer can't receive a startup signal.

Getting started with the flex sdk

Hi,
I have been reading and reading this forum looking for an
answer to this question - have found lots of other great info :-)
I have installed the Flex Builder 2 trial and didn't get to
it before the trial ran out - got busy. So, now I'm down to the sdk
to get going with Flex. I have the sdk installed and the sample
apps have been compiled and they work. I have copied and pasted a
sample form and saved the file as .mxml. I have launched the
command line sdk. Now what do I do? I assume I type in something
and that something will include the file path to my mxml file that
I want compiled. What are the commands for the sdk so I can do
that.
I hope I'm on the right track :-)
Thanks!
jo

Change to the Flex bin directory and use mxmlc like this:
mxmlc path/to/my/App.mxml
This should create a SWF file that you can then run. If you
plan on posting the app somewhere, you'll probably want to create
an HTML wrapper. You can use the wrappers in the html-templates
directory.
For more info on using mxmlc, see the online help (type
"mxmlc -help list") or look in the Compilers chapter of the
Building and Deploying book. For more on using the wrappers, look
in the wrappers chapter of the same book.

Creating your first AIR application for Android with the Flex SDK

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS901d38e593cd1bac25d3d8c712b2d86751e-8000.html

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.

Does Flash Media Server work with Wirecast?

Does Flash Media Server work with the encoding software, Wirecast?
Do any of you have experience integrating the two? Good or bad ?
I'm currently using Red5, which doesn't work with Wirecast, but I'd like to be able to use Wirecast.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Best wishes.

Thanks again for your help on this!
I'm very new at this and don't really understand :
if you've enabled SWF verification on the FMS side, and made an exception for the FMLe user-agent,
I haven't done anything as far as setting other verifications, etc. This is just a default install of the FMS 3.5 Developers version.
But I have tried all 3 user agents, still, none can connect. I still keep getting the "Can't publish stream... check credentials/tokens" error message 4020.
Any other thoughts/ideas?
Best wishes.

HT3310 how do i get my headphone to work with the iphone?

how do i get my headphone to work with the iphone? Are there some settings
that I need to turn on so I can use my headphone while talking on the phone?

Are you using the earbuds that came with the iPhone? If you are using other earphones, it's possible that they need an adaptor to work with the iPhone's recessed headphone jack.

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