Export small flex project to mobile?

Hi everyone! I am just learning Flex and have stumbled upon a problem...
I have created a small Flex project in Flash Builder 4 and it works very well on desktop and in a browser. However I need it to run on mobile phone with only Flash Lite support... is that possible? Flash professional can do this but I can't import fxp into Flash CS5.
I also don't see the point of the fact that Flash CS5 can export for iPhone and other mobile devices and has Device central integration when it isn't an app developing tool at all. Flash Builder should have this features!
Anyway, my application is very simple and I believe Flash Lite should be able to handle it. Is there a way to do it?
Thanks in advance

Due to Apple license restrictions, Adobe will no longer be continuing development of the Flash to iPhone Exporter application; and as such I do not expect the feature to be intergrated into Flash Builder.
Last I heard Flash Lite did not support ActionScript 3; and therefore would not support Flex based applications.
I expect that as Adobe releases their Flash Player for Mobile; you'll see a lot more tooling support for such things. I expect a lot of talk / announcements / releases around this sort of functionality around Max this year, if not before.
In the meantime, there are a few other mobile options out there. Check out Elips Studio from OpenPlug as one of them.

How to export a Flex3 project in AS3?

Hi,
I have read somewhere that I can export any flex project in
AS3 to edit some default values of different components.
Does anybody knows how to export it?
Thanks
She

I tried but all they talk about exporting the project in to
an archive. I wanted to edit some default behavior of linkBar
<which you have already answered how to so thanks>. I was
reading a tutorial and I read that I can export any project in flex
in to AS3 and edit all the behaviors through AS3.
Sometime it is hard to find a property to change in flex
directly so I wanted to export it in AS3 and edit the default
property from there.
Any idea???
Thanks

Is there a way of working collaboratively on a flex project with a small project group?

Is there a way of working collaboratively on a flex project with a small project group?
I am part of a small group of developers who wish to work on a single flex project together. Is there a way to set up flex so that the project can be developed by multiple people at the same time. I have seen one thread out on the internet about working locally and then uploading to SVn but this is not an option in this case.
Any ideas.
Many thanks in advance
Dave

I would say that rushing into development without a source-control system will cost you more in the long-run. If your organisation is serious about developing software it then it needs to invest in the necesary infrastructure, so you should get that process kicked-off as soon as possible.
In the interim you could set-up a source control server on one developer's machine or commandeer a spare machine to use as a temporary source control server. Just make sure you have it backed-up regularly. Or you could use one of the online source control services; many will support private repositories for a small fee.

This is the error because the runtime does not find any way to call Java script that usally is called through External interface. So my guess is you are using a AIR project. U just need to download the latest swc http://code.google.com/p/facebook-actionscript-api/downloads/list for destop in your case and don't forget to but FBJSBridge.js to put in your source that will b used to help AS call Facebook API from AIR runtime
Hope it make some sense

Flex Project Exports - Adobe SWC Distribution

Hi,
I'm having a difficult time trying to find any information regarding this so I would be really grateful for any help here. Let's say I have created an ActionScript project in Flex Builder -- I am not using a Flex SDK, it has been removed from the project's library path -- instead I have added one of the playerglobal SWC files from Flash CS4 to the project. This essentially allows me to program within Flex Builder without the overhead of the Flex Framework - which I never use.
Now, if I wanted to export that project (as a Flex Builder project) when it was completed and make it available via a website, would I run into any legal problems if the playerglobal SWC was exported/distributed along with the rest of the project files - keeping in mind that the project could only be imported/re-published using Flex Builder?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Hi si-robertson, I understand what your dilemma is but I'm not sure I follow why you have your development environment setup like this. You can create pure ActionScript projects from within Flex Builder and these don't use the Flex framework at all - obviously you can't use MXML in these projects .
While AcionScript projects in Flex Builder might use the same compilers as a Flex project they don't compile in the Flex framework classes; so I'm somewhat confused why you'd even need the playerglobal.swc from Flash CS4 in your project as it'd already have a complementary version of it available?
If on the other hand you want to access Flash Player 10 functionality, again if you have the Flex SDK 3.2 or greater you can create content via the pure ActionScript projects without the overhead of the Flex framework.
I know this isn't exactly what you were asking, but in a round-about way it would negate your concern about distributing your project if it contained the playerglobal.swc from Flash CS4 as you wouldn't need to.
HTH

Flex Project Management

Hi,
I am planning to build a flex project with a small group of people. So, I am thinking to have one main project to load all the component (SWF) in swf loader, so that I can have the component to be distributed to everyone. Here I want to ask:
1. Besides local connection, what is the other best, fastest, and most stable way to have the main application to communicate with child application loaded via swf loader?
2. As each person may working on their own part, how to set up the project so that they can easily debug their part with the main application during the development?
3. The project will be deploy in both Air and web format. How to share the code base for both development so that we are easier to grow and maintain the app?
Thanks. Please advise if you have better way for group development.

take a look at the first part of this video where he talks about different architectures
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/max-2010-develop/flexactionscript-30-architecture-and-dependency -injection-frameworks-overview/
you also might find this useful. Some example case studies for web/mobile apps, the same principle could be applied to web/desktop apps

Compile flex project to multi swf files !

Hi all !
I have a flex project include one mxml main application, some mxml component and action script files. Can I compile flex project to multi swf files. My goal is: swf file very large, so I divide it into multi small swf files ! How can I do this? plz, give me some guide or links about it !
Thanks very much.

Hi there,
Use modules to do that.

Flex project into a single SWC file!!

please help me with this problem:
i created an image gallery using actionscript 3.0 classes in Flash CS4...in one of the classes, i used a mask Movieclip to mask the thumbnails in the gallery...this mask movieclip is a rectangle Movieclip symbol in the library that is exported for actionscript...
in order to run my application in Flex 3, i did the following:
a. i placed the classes in a folder called "com"
b. i placed my assets (the images) in folder called "images"
placed both "com" & "images" folders in the "src" folder of my Flex project
c. i exported the mask movieclip symbol from the Flash library as a SWC file, and placed the SWC file in the "lib" folder of my Flex project
d. i dragged my custom component (image gallery) onto the stage
e. in the main MXML application file, i went to "Design Mode" and found my custom component under the "Custom" folder..i dragged the component on the stage
and my gallery worked fine!
now the problem happened when i tried to compile the WHOLE Flex project as a SINGLE SWC file...in order to compile the whole Flex project as a SINGLE SWC file, i did the following:
1. i created a new Flex Library Project
2. i placed my classes folder ("com") and my images folder ("images") in the "src" directory of the Flex library project
3. i went to Project --> Properties --> Flex Library Build Path -->
- on the "Classes" tab, i checked the ("com") folder which contains all of the classes
- on the "Assets" tab, i checked the ("images") folder which contains all of the images
- on the "Library Path" tab, i clicked the "Add SWC" button, browsed to my mask movieclip SWC file (that i created earlier from the mask movieclip symbol in the library in Flash CS4) and selected it
I then pressed Ok,and now a SWC file that represents my project was created in the "bin" directory of my Flex library project
4. I created a new Flex project, and in the "lib" folder i placed the SWC file that was created in the Flex Library project...in the main MXML application file, i went to "Design Mode" and found my custom component under the "Custom" folder..i dragged the component on the stage
BUT NOTHING DISPLAYS!!
so obviously there's a problem in "condensing" the whole project as single SWC file
could someone please help me!!
thanx a lot

I am also facing same problem, when i am including librabry in application not able to see any image...............can you tell me the solution.................................thanks

Bad news if I can't debug cfcs in a flex project

I'm trying to debug a cfc in a flex project Coldfusion builder installed as a plugin is Flash builder 4
But I'm getting a message saying:

This is bad news if I can't debug cfcs in a flex project

Motion is constantly crashing when exporting a huge project

Hi Folks,
I just started with Motion a few weeks ago.
After making a lot of rookie mistakes, I think I got the basics now.
Motion opened up a new world of working with videos for me.
But I reached a point, where playing around does not help any more.
I need some advise from a skilled Motion designer.
My question:
Generally - What are the limits of a Motion 4 project regarding size and complexity and how I can expand it.
In particular - How can I produce a video of my really big motion project.
My small problem:
When working in Motion, I have to watch the memory usage (I use "istat menus" for this).
When memory becomes almost used up, I save the project then close and re-open Motion.
In the meantime, I have a detailed knowledge of the actions that I should avoid to maximize
the time between the close & re-open actions.
This helps reducing Motion crashes. I think Motion has a bug with memory handling somehow.
Although working with Motion this way is exhausting, this is only my small problem.
My big problem:
Motion does not export (render) my project. I don't mind waiting 24 hours for the result, but there is no result.
Motion 4 always crashes after some time. Typically after 4 to 5 hours. The whole computer gets stuck,
the only thing I can do is recycle power. I can not show the result of my work. All I can do is blame "the software".
For this I need a solution, and I need it ASAP!
What I did so far:
I tried everything. Really…
I do not run any other software parallel with Motion. No Mail, no Safari, no nothing -> this helps a lot while editing !
Disabling render options motion blur, shadows, reflections and DOF helped in the beginning when the project was not finished.
Reducing quality helped in the beginning but I did not tried it again because the results are unusable.
Trashing preferences with "option-CMD Park+Ride" did not help.
Deleting the preference file did help making the software more responsive. Almost no beachballs after that.
Repairing permissions…. Checking filesystem… playing with preferences… nothing helped.
Then I was at a point, where I was mentally prepared for the ultimate step:
I wiped the hard-drive and installed Snow Leopard and FCP from the original DVDs.
Did not help. (BTW this takes a whole working day and half of the night).
Of course, I always apply the latest updates and patches.
Last night, I ordered a new iMAC (27", Quadcore, 8GB Ram) to be sure it is not a hardware defect.
Unfortunately its ETA is 2 weeks.
The machine I am actually using: 24" iMac 3,06MHz core2 duo with 4GB of RAM and GT130.
About my project:
length: 42 seconds
Format: 720p50
Contents: approximately 10 greenscreen videoclips 720p50 ( 10 to 20 seconds long) with Primate RT filter, 100 images (PDF), 500 rectangles.
Camera: one camera with 8 non-overlapping framing behaviors.
plugins: some filters from noise industries and FxFactory. No dubious untested 3-rd party plugins.
Untested ideas:
- Output parts of the project and assemble them in final cut. (I got this idea 1 second ago while writing this post). Anyone tried this?
- Single-stepping through the project and capturing a screenshot of every single frame (42*50 = 2100 oh my god!) Maybe by using a macro?
- Using a new computer with faster graphic-board and more RAM. As far as I know, Motion is a 32bit application and can not address more than 4 GByte of RAM. Also it will not use more than one CPU core. Will it help anyway?
- Installing some secret Pro-App beta-patches to fix Motion. Are there any? If so, how to get them?
- Searching for some hidden file that lists the filter, action or object that caused the last crash. Maybe I only have to rearrange or remove something to make it work perfectly.
Anyone out there who has experience with complex Motion-projects ?
Byebye and Tschüß
Manfred

I gave it a try and replaced all *.pdf files by *.psd or *.jpg files, keyed all video clips outside of Motion and replaced the original footage with the assigned keyers, despillers and color-correctors by ready-to-use ProRes4444 files. If this changed anything, then it was very subtle. Without "shadow", "reflections" and "depth of field" applied, I can export the project. This takes 40 minutes or so.
With this three things checked, Motion crashes (see below). The final export also needs to have lights enabled and maybe motion blur.
My big hope is, that the 27" iMac can handle it because of its 8GB Ram and the 4870 Graphics (arrives on Feb,10 thumbs up). The iMac I am using now has only GT130 and 4GB Ram, maybe this is too weak? Otherwise I have to split the project into pieces an assemble them in final cut. There are no cuts, the whole thing is one flow which makes this idea difficult.
Here the latest crash report (although I dont think it makes any sense to anyone but hope dies last):

Flex 4.6 mobile broke TextInput

I'm currently in the process of upgrading a Flex 4.5 mobile project to 4.6 and have run into issues with TextInput's.
Currently on most of my views you cannot click(tap) a TextInput and insert text. The field does not seem to take focus and no text appears when you type. I've tried this on a phone as well as on my computer. The weird thing about this is that I have two views where the TextInput's seem to be working. I have also removed all code, MXML and AS3, from a view where input's don't seem to be working and replaced it with a generic TextInput. Even after doing this the text field doesn't seem to be working.
I have tried to reproduce this outside of this project but can't seem to be able to. Anyone have any idea what would be causing this?

I have the same issue but isolated in a very simple app. I havent tested it in Android, but in iOS it is VERY Buggy...
you just need to have this to reproduce:

Flex 4.6 mobile mp3 player....create progressBar

how to create progressBar for mp3 player in flex 4.6 mobile???
help me please!!!!

consider this scenario:
1. user click a button and advances to the next view.
2. here clicks a textinput so it focuses and soft keyboard appears
3. user click back key on his phone - soft keyboard retracts (no backkeypressed event caught)
4. textinput still has the focus border around it (why?) and user clicks back key again - application goes in the background for a couple of seconds and closes itself.
I attached the .fxp for the test project
