Does Flex Builder scale?

Has anyone had success building large ActionScript projects
in Flex Builder? Say 20,000 lines of ActionScript. Or is that not
the way Flex is typically meant to be used? Thanks.

I haven't tried Flex 3, but I noticed the AIR beta wouldn't
install on Win2K. The Apollo Alpha did. I think it was the new
installer for the beta that gave the problem.

Does Flex Builder 3 have support for Soap 1.2?

Does Flex Builder 3 Data Services support Soap 1.2?
I'm using Flex Builder v3.0.205647. I'm trying to import a
Web Service (WSDL) through the Data Services...but I'm seeing that
Soap 1.2 is not supported (only Soap 1.1). Are there any plug-ins
and/or updates that would allow me to connect to a Soap 1.2
service? If not, is this planned for the future?
Thanks!

Pandu,
OBPM 10g doesn't support SOAP 1.2 binding.

How does flex builder handle permissions?

Every time i launch flex builder it seems to for some reason
replace my external files(asp files that gernerate xml) with older
versions. Sometimes during work updates i make to these files stop
occuring entirely, its as if im not able to save over or copy over
the files, when i close flex builder and reboot i can copy the
files from last time i backed up and work for a little while
longer, it just started doing this. My files are in the bin
directory with all the other files and maybe thats bad, anyways any
advice would be great.

When you compile and run a flex application in flex builder
we copy over
all the included files to the bin folder. Do you have copies
of the
generated xml files in your project? If so, then the ones in
the bin
folder will get overwritten.

Does Flex Builder 3 generate only AS 3.0 ?

Hi
By default my Flex project exported
swf files flash player version is 9.0 and Actionscript
version is 3.0 (I think) .
But I need lower flash player version with AS 2.0 ?
Is it possible ?
If yes , please guide me how ?
Regards

ntsiii , I`m looking for a solution to get AS2 from exported
swf movies via Flex . Do you mean that is absolute for Flex2 that
generate AS3 ?
I thinks Flex 2 can generate AS2 , can`t it?
Anyway , which version of Flex Builder can create swf movies
with AS2 for me ?

Does Flex Builder remove unused code?

Hi, I have alot of dead code in app that is resulting in an unnecessarily large SWF. Is there a way to make the flex compiler remove unused functions?

Although tedious, drkstr_1 has the plan of action. Generally you should need to clean up orphaned code and remove all trace statements. I often see the tracing statements of other Flash Player products when doing development and some are quite revealing if not embarrasing.
Also "unnecessarily large swf" begs the question what is large? If in Flash IDE did you run the bandwidth report to see exactly what makes it "unnecessarily large swf". You see this option in the publish settings.
Typically code is not going to make a "unnecessarily large swf" but rather digital assets embedded and fonts embedded. Code could make it "unnecessarily large swf" if there are lots of libraries you are using and you are only using some tiny part of the library which you could refactor or find a snippet on the net.
Last "unnecessarily large swf" in relation to what bandwidth? Do you have a targeted minimum bandwidth to make the assessment "unnecessarily large swf"?

Does Flex Builder 3 have a macro recorder?

I tried an Eclipse add-in called MacroSchmacro but it does
not seem to function in FB3. Does anyone know of a macro-recorder
add-in or Eclipse based editor that has macro functionality the
will work with FB3? I know there are many stand-alone editors but
would like to keep it in the development environment.

I settled for Notepad++, swapping between the two editors and
running the macro in Notepad++ is not all that much trouble. On the
other hand, FB should have this feature built-in or at least as an
add-in. @Greg: The only add-in I found was MacroSchmacro, doesn't
seem to work in the FB version of Eclipse though.

Can I re-install Flex Builder trial after 60 days again?

As far as I understand Flex Builder trial version stops working after 60 days.
Can I after the 60 days uninstall Flex Builder and re-install it again with 60 more days or does Flex Builder somewhere
(e.g. in Registry ) set a flag that Flex Builder was already installed?
In other words do the 60 days count per installation or per computer?
Peter

No.
But if you are a student you can receive Flex Builder for free (google it).
And of course you can use Flex SDK absolutely free with Eclipse (except Flex Data Visualisation components - AdvancedDataGrid, Charts).

Try creating a new Flex project and dragging the files from
the zip into the
src folder. You may find that you need to rearrange things a
bit, depending
on how they set up the project, but this should get you
started.

Why does Flash/Flex Builder 4 Premium downgrade to Standard when I install Flash Player Debug?

Why does Flash/Flex Builder 4 Premium downgrade to Standard when I install Flash Player Debug?
I installed a corporate install of Flex/Flash Builder 4 Premium, and verified that it was the Premium version was installed. The Start Page said that Flash Player was needed to display the text, so I installed Flash Player 10 Debug -- first download link from here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
When I then started Flex Builder 4, the splash screen showed Premium, but as soon as the Start Page was visible, it showed "FB Adobe Flash Builder 4 Standard" --- Help | About showed Standard, and the splash screen from then on showed Standard.
A Google search showed a work around for this, but it requires a license for Premium, which I don't have because our corporate install has it built-in:
http://bloginblack.de/2010/05/adobe-master-collection-cs5-breaks-flash-builder-4-premium-a nd-how-to-fix-it/
1. Anyone know how to resolve this?
2. Can Adobe fix this?
Thanks!

I had similar problem. I was involved in Flash Builder prerelease program and few months later I installed Adobe CS5 Master Collection. After that I had a same situation. Best thing was, my Flash Builder Beta was Premium version but acted like Standard, and FB from CS5 was Standard but acted like Premium. I removed CS5 and beta version of CS5. used CS5 Cleaning Fix and then reinstalled my apps.
I was lucky that I didn't have many big projects involved in FB beta or CS5 workspaces, I heard some guys had problems with migrated workspace configurations but I don't know what was the problem.

PDF Portfolio SDK setup - Navigator project wizard in Flex Builder 4.6 does not show

Hello, Experts
I am trying to build PDF Custom Navigator using Adobe PDF Portfolio SDK; however, for some reason, when performing step 3 of installation, Navigator project wizard in Flex Builder ( 4.6 ) would not show;
The plugins have been extracted to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins
The NavigatorSupport folder has been extracted to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse and ( just in case ) to
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\
any advice would be greatly appreciated
Best Regards,
-Alex

as per Joel's recommendation, used 4.5 instead - that worked just fine

Does the Lifecycle product license include the use of Flex Builder Pro and Flex SDK?

I have been trying to find out whether we can use the latest Flex Builder and SDK using the LiveCycle license or do we need to purchase additional license? We will use these products to develop Flash Applications to use with our Livecycle product.

The end user license agreement and the supplement should provide your answer:

any of the applicable Additional Adobe LiveCycle Components, including all Documentation and other materials
provided by Adobe to Customer under this Agreement. Customer may install and use the Foundation Components solely for purposes of facilitating use of the OnPremise Software in accordance with this Agreement, subject to

of Adobe Flash Builder Pro software (or its successor) provided with the Foundation Components only if Adobe
Flash Builder Pro is installed as part of the Foundation Components and used in combination with the LiveCycle

Does it work with Flex Builder 3

and if not...why not? Lots of us still using FB3 and will be for some time.

Yes, the resulting project can be imported into Flex Builder 3...but.... there are several references to spark components in the resulting project that will need to be changed back to halo (mx) components, but I've done it a few times and it's super simple.

Flash CS3 vs. Flex Builder 2

Here's the $64,000 question: should we be developing in Flash
CS3 or should we shift over to Flex Builder 2? I maintain that AS
3.0 is a pain in the proverbial, but I've been researching and
finding as much help as possible online about it, and I've found
that by and large people are using Flex Builder 2 as the basis of
tutorials about AS 3.0. Does anyone have an official slant on this
question? Should we abandon Flash for Flex? Will it help? Will it
mitigate the difficulties non-programmers are experiencing with AS
3.0 - or as I call it simply ***? Would I be getting more responses
to my *** questions if I post them over in the *** forum under Flex
Builder?
Any thoughts on this matter would be most welcome, thank
you.

I don't know that I'd call it a luxury, really. Work is
work. ;) As
you might imagine, though, Flex Builder 2 provides a number
of scripting
improvements over the Actions panel (there's really no
comparison; if you've
tried them both, the Actions panel barely feels useful) and
the Flex
framework offers significantly more UI Components. Ideally,
if the pocket
book allows it, using both applications is the killer setup.

When you say imported, you mean dynamically loaded (loaded
at runtime),
right? Otherwise, I'm confused. The Flash IDE itself allows
you to
determine the quality of imported JPGs. In ActionScript 3.0
... are you
talking about the Stage.quality property?

Not sure what might be tripping you up, actually. The
coordinate grid
is the same. Horizontally, higher numbers move toward the
right;
vertically, higher numbers move toward the bottom. That's the
same as it's
been.

Having heard what you're after, I just started a quick
experiment from
scratch. Here's my version, below. Note: I've made no effort
to optimize
my code. This is just a first draft to achieve a blue line
segment with
green dots on each end that becomes a black line segment when
the mouse
lifts.
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;
var canvas:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(canvas);
canvas.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
mouseDownHandler);
canvas.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
mouseUpHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
startX = mouseX;
startY = mouseY;
var dot:Sprite = new Sprite();
dot.name = "dotStart";
dot.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
dot.graphics.drawCircle(mouseX, mouseY, 5);
dot.graphics.endFill();
canvas.addChild(dot);
dot = new Sprite();
dot.name = "dotEnd";
dot.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
dot.graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 5);
dot.graphics.endFill();
canvas.addChild(dot);
canvas.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,
enterFrameHandler);
function enterFrameHandler(evt:Event):void {
var dot:DisplayObject = canvas.getChildByName("dotEnd");
dot.x = mouseX;
dot.y = mouseY;
canvas.graphics.clear();
canvas.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x0000FF);
canvas.graphics.moveTo(startX, startY);
canvas.graphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
function mouseUpHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
canvas.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,
enterFrameHandler);
canvas.removeChild(canvas.getChildByName("dotStart"));
canvas.removeChild(canvas.getChildByName("dotEnd"));
canvas.graphics.clear();
canvas.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x000000);
canvas.graphics.moveTo(startX, startY);
canvas.graphics.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
There's a lot of repeated code there, and this isn't how I'd
leave the
above in an actual project, but by spilling out a rough cut
like this, I'm
hoping it gives you something to work with -- showing the
mechanics of how
this might be done.

Flex Builder 3 will not work on Mac

Flex Builder 3 & Mac OSX:
The hard disk on my mac failed, lost everything, including
Flex Builder 2. I installed a new hard disk, and downloaded the
"trial" of Flex Builder 3 (FB 3). The software seemed to install
fine(no errors in the install log).
However, when I run FB 3, the default front page does not
load, and tells me that the flash player as stopped because of a
un-safe operation. I think okay, that is fine, but I do like the
page with the links to the docs, and adobe resources. I try to
build an app, default just dragged a button on the stage, and
complied. However, the page does not compile. I only get the "grey"
page, with no button.
After this I re-installed the flash player (9.0.115), but
still no love. I have re-installed FB 3, but the same results.
I am using Mac OS X (power PC). Can anybody help me. I am a
student at the University of Hawaii, and I am teaching myself Flex.
I am thinking that the error might be with the flash player, and I
am trying to install flash CS3, thinking that if I can get the
stand alone flash player that way, maybe then this will work.
Please help,
John

Hi Michael,
Thanks so much for all your help!
I just installed FB 3 again, but still no love, yikes! I
don't get it FB 2 was painless,...
I have the same issues, and safari does not handle any flex
apps, just a blank(grey page). Can I ask a favor? Can you check
this link, a flex charting app. It can view it perfectly in Camino,
but just a blank page in safari. Could you check this link in
safari?
http://cfhawaii.com/Charts/DrillDownWithEffects.html
I also still get the can't find the debugger player.
Maybe I need to take a on-line course(bring that I am in
hawaii) to learn how to get everything set up.
I send a bug report to adobe, and I am hoping that somebody
gets back to me, and can help me fix the problems, as I couldn't
even registrar FB3, I want to start learning flex, not dealing with
this.
Thanks so much for all your help`-`
John
