  • How to create Theme SWC using Flash Builder 4

    I have created a library project in flex which contains spark skin classes for certain controls and a style sheet class. The problem is when I use the SWC generated by thsi project  and import this SWC as Theme and apply it to another test project. the stylings chasnges are not reflected.
    IF I use comand line to generate Theme SWC the changes are reflected.
    Can any one help me use FLash Builder to create and apply theme SWC.

    Connect to PHP in FB4 is used when you have a PHP Class and you want to use that in FB, for example Employee.php and it has a Employee class and various methods in that like create, update, get, delete.
    However, if you have exposed your functionality in PHP as a HTTP URL (i.e. it is not a class), then you should be using HTTPService from the data menu.
    So if your file is login.php and is accessible as a URL, then using the HTTPService and enter the URL.
    Does this help?

  • Flash Builder 4.5.1 Creating iOS Mobile App creates components not Spark views

    Hi
    I have Flash Builder 4.5.1 on Windows 7 using SDK 4.5.1.
    Following many of the Hello World video tutorials (including what's on Adobe TV's website) I create a new Mobile based Application in Flash Builder. I set it up to be a View Based Application targeting iOS and iPhone (although the problem is for any iOS device).
    I follow all the instructions and yet the MXML that's created at the end is component based and not targeting Spark Views. This floors running or viewing the app! Code for both Application class and View is as follows:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <components:ViewNavigatorApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                                         xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:components="spark.components.*" firstView="views.MyMobileProjectHomeView" applicationDPI="240">
        <fx:Declarations>
            <!-- Place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here -->
        </fx:Declarations>
    </components:ViewNavigatorApplication>
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <components:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                     xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:components="spark.components.*" title="HomeView">
        <fx:Declarations>
            <!-- Place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here -->
        </fx:Declarations>
    </components:View>
    I have no idea why Flash Builder is creating code that's namespaced to components and not the spark framework.
    The code that's created in the course is below and yet if I import their project and try and view in Design view Flash Builder tells me 'An unknown item is declared as the root of your MXML document. Switch to source mode to correct it.':
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <s:ViewNavigatorApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                                xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" firstView="views.HelloWorldHomeView" applicationDPI="240">

            <!-- Place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here -->
        </fx:Declarations>

    </s:View>
    Please help
    Many thanks in advance

    Here's the solution:
    The problem did not exist on an installation of Flash Builder on a spare MacBookPro.
    On my main computer (the one with the Flash Builder issue) I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Builder 4.5 (then updated to 4.5.1). Creating an iOS Mobile Application now creates the correct code.
    I have no idea why it was creating dodgy code.
    The only difference with the new Flash Builder install is that SourceMate 3.0 is not installed yet. Perhaps something had gone wrong in the Adobe Updater when going from 4.5 to 4.5.1, who know...all speculation...anyhow it works now!

  • Is mp3 licensing required for stand alone apps created with Flash Builder?

    I've been writing some interactive educational software in ActionScript that utilizes Adobe AIR and plays mp3 files to communicate/instruct the user.   I was wondering if I would need to pay mp3 licensing fees based on what I found at mp3licensing.com
    I wrote to the folks at mplicensing.com and got the following question in reply:
    Will the software itself include mp3 decode (playback) capability, or will it be using the decoder provided in Android.  If the software doesn’t include mp3 code itself, but simply includes mp3 files for playback by the hardware device mp3 code, than you would need our content distribution license, not our electronic gaming license.
    If this is true, then it may be that no license is needed at all, since we exempt from the need for our license any entity with mp3 revenues below USD $100,000 per year.
    I responded:
    I am writing this software in ActionScript using Adobe Flash Builder to create a stand alone application that will be bundled with Adobe AIR and use Adobe AIR to run.  AIR supports Android, iOS, PC desktops, and Macs. 
    they replied:
    I am not sure if AIR will play .mp3 files. If it does, and your code does not have mp3 encode or decode functionality, and AIR is simply used to play the content, and your revenues do not exceed USD $100,000 per year, our license is not required.
    My question now is:   Does Adobe AIR use the decoder provided in Android or does it have it's own decoding code?   Are we subject to the licensing fees for games, etc when distributing programs that play MP3 files using Adobe AIR?
    Thanks,
    Robert

    That site helps a little bit, but not totally.  My existing server is Windows 2003 with 5 CALs included, and it works, though not because I understand the head-spinning details of Microsoft licensing.  For example, I have no idea if I am actually
    using the CALs, since the only thing ever done on that server (aside from web, email, and FTP) is me logging in by RDP to administer it.
    I never considered 2008 Web edition because I might want to install something like the Access GUI, and the Web edition seems to forbid that.  It was not clear if you could install third-party ftp server or mail server also.  Web edition was a mysterious
    product and is not my reference point.
    It would be nice if Essentials could run a web server, since it's cheaper and simpler in terms of licensing.  But nowhere is that stated yea or nay.
    If I buy 2012 standard, do I need to spring for 5 CALs also?  I need to administer by RDP, and have the other server drop backups onto the disk of the new one.

  • Flash Builder no longer compiles a project

    After my last edit - no syntax errors - of a given project, Flash Builder no longer builds my project.
    Restarted Flash Builder. Created a new project and copied all sources. Nothing helps. It just doesn't create the binary.
    I see two problem reports.
    Most of the time this one:
        An internal build error happened. See the error log for further details.
    Then, sometimes, this one appears:
       Classes aren't allowed to be defined inside other classes.
    The project is syntactically free of errors.
    As soon as I remove the main component from the App.mxml, the build finishes orderly and the app starts up. In this case - as expected - with a blank window.
    Does a workaround solution exist?  Does certain size restrictions make the build fail?
    OS:
       Mac OS X Lion.
    Bug-Report:
       http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-32216

    Unbelieveable. After 2 day, I found the problem right now:
    I wrote
      private var baseNiceText =  String = '';
    instead of
      private var baseNiceText :  String = '';
    After I changed the source and recompiled, the app builds.
    Anyway, it's a problem inside of compiler.

  • How to use the Google Android Emulator in Flash Builder on Windows 7?

    I want to try out Flash Builder to create an app, but I cannot find out how to use the Google Android Emulator in Flash Builder. The simulators in Flash Builder work, and the android emulator is installed correctly and can run. I just can't seem to connect them. How do I do that?

    Hi Pahup,
    Thank you for your reply!!
    I adapted an Android App using Flash CC on a Mac. I already published this App for the Apple App Store. When I published the App for Android I chose Air 3.7.xxx for Android. I also created the p12 certificate using Flash CC in the publishing settigns for Android. So my App is theoretically finished and ready for Upload.
    When I went to the Google Play Store Developer Console I had the options to
    1.) Upload APK
    or
    2.) Prepare Store Entry
    ...so I prepared the Store entry first. When I go to "APK"-Tab in the console it looks like this:
    ... it says "Upload APK" and the Button below "Get Licence Key". When I click on the license Key Button it looks like this:
    So I think I should enter this RSA-Key somehow into my App BEFORE uploading it to the Google Play Store. This is recommended when an Ap is set to be paid. My Application is set to paid.
    I did not use any kind of licensing API (until now - cause I don´t know how and what it is for)
    This is all new to me. It is the first App I want to bringt to the Android market. I really hoped it would be as easy as getting an app into the Apple App Store. I found so many step by step instructions for dummies on "How to get an Flash iOS App into the App Store plus creating all the certificates needed", so I thought it would be the same for Android. But there is no help at all at the moment. I am totally confused.
    So any help, hint or instrusction would be great!!
    By the way - this is the App I want to get into the Google Play Store

  • Loading purchased swf into Flash Builder 4 Flex app

    I have purchased a Flash "fundraising thermometer" from an online Flash components site. It takes input from an xml file and displays a thermometer with the goal at the top and the current amount raised indicated. It came with the following files:
    thermometer.swf
    thermometer01.fla
    thermometer01.html (A sample that works.)
    xml/thermometer.xml (The source file: goal amount, current amount, mark interval, etc.)
    caurina/transitions (Mostly .as files.)
    Since the test html (thermometer01.html) works fine, I thought this would be a no-brainer.
    I first unzipped the files into a "thermometer" folder in my current project. I then went into Flash Builder and created a SWFLoader object as follows:
    <mx:SWFLoader 
    id="myLoader" source="../thermometer/thermometer.swf" complete="initThermometer();" autoLoad="true" scaleContent="false"/>\
     private function initThermometer():void { 
         Alert.show('Thermometer loaded');
    The Design view looks fine. I can see the thermometer default image (see below).
    When I run the app, I get no errors, just a broken image link in a box (see below). The alert box also never shows up.
    I'm new to Flex, so I may be doing something stupid that keeps this from working. I contacted the author of the thermometer widget but he doesn't know anything about Flex.
    Any help figuring out how to get this to work in a flex app would be appreciated.

    You should probably add more event handlers to see what's going on.  Especially "ioError". The complete list is below.  For coverage, add a handler for each event. You can also use in MXML
         complete="initThermometer(event)
    and add an argument to your Actionscript method, to find out details about the event.
    private function initThermometer(event:Event):void { 
         Alert.show('Thermometer loaded ' + event.type);}
    Events
        complete="No default"
        httpStatus="No default"
        init="No default"
        ioError="No default"
        open="No default"
        progress="No default"
        securityError="No default"
        unload="No default

    I did not test my code suggestions, but it's probably close.

  • Using TransformGestureEvents in Flash Builder

    Hi all,
    I  am trying to use the TransformGestureEvents to allow interaction inside  of a FLARE based application. I want to create a data visualisation app  with touch interaction.
    I have Flash Player 10.1, which  is needed for these classes, as i have already used them in a Flash CS5  test project, and i worked great!  But when i try to import the  transform gesture events, an error appears saying:
    1172: Defination flash.events:TransformGestureEvents could not be found.
    Has anyone got any idea how i can use TransformGestureEvents inside of Flash Builder?
    Any advice, is deeply appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for your reply!
    I am using flex 4.0 SDK and flash player 10.1.
    Since then i have tried to use the adobe air 2.5 SDK because I read somewhere that it included Touch events. I have tried to overlay the AIR SDK into my Flex 4.0 SDK folder and it doesn't seem to have worked. I am using a mac and the documentation out there to do this , isn't exactly straight forward and ive followed the instructions, but no success. Im really surprised that Adobe have not released a flex SDk with Touch events include, i mean it seem dumb not too!?!?
    Maybe if i gave you more of an insight into what i want to achieve, this could help.
    I want to use flash builder to create a search for a series of media API's (e.g Spotify/Last.FM or YouTube) the user would search for what they want and the results would be displayed in a Radial Tree Layout using the FLARE library to construct the visualisaton and I wanted to use Gestures to enable the user to navigate around the results, (ZOOMING, SELECTING, etc). I have thought about using OpenFrameworks to do this, but I would prefer to use FLASH.
    I am creating this project for my Final Degree!
    Any advice on this, would be great.

  • Flash builder 4.6 with Flash CS5.5 mobile work flow

    I have a mobile application built in flash professional. For captive runtime or native extensions i use the command line.
    I now want to start using flash builder, as i hear this is the undisputed better coding environment.
    In flash builder, i created a 'flash professional project' to work on my app with both tools simultaneously.
    I thought flash builder 4.6 would give me options like captive runtime or native extensions without using the command line.
    However i dont see these options at all. When i am using a 'flash professional project' in flash builder, am i essentially just using flash builder as a code editor, and all export settings are still handled in flash IDE ? Meaning i cannot take advantage of captive runtime+ ANEs unless using an 'actionscript mobile project'
    Please advise.
    Also, even if i use it as just a better code editor, i am not finding it better so far.
    syntax highlighting seems poor
    simple things like touch events.
    function parameters or inside the function like e.touchPointID , e.stageX
    none of this is highlighted.
    or as simple as
    ball.x;
    the .x would normally be highlighted, but it is not in flash builder.
    Basically, i am finding as a tool to use with flashIDE as a flash professional project, so far i am seeing no benefits. Please help me to discover what i am missing about this editing environments mobile work flow.
    also when i hit ctrl+s to save my work, it jumps between the two programs... saving the project i suppose? hard to just quickly save as you go in case of crashes and such.

    thanks

  • Flash Builder 4 - Mobile (Adobe read this!)

    This is the second time I've written this letter. The first was a five-paragraph rant detailing the chronicles of my journey into mobile using the Adobe tools. This time, however, I've decided to break it down in a different way. It goes like this:
    - Adobe spends considerable effort trying to convince Flash (AS3) developers to migrate to Flex (Flash Builder)
    - After spending time with Flex, I am one of those who is convinced by the ease and power of what it offers. I buy Flex (Flash Builder)
    - Adobe announces it will provide support for building iOS application but insists you use (buy) Flash CS5.
    - Support (and methods) for using Flash Builder to create iOS applications is complex, messy and tedious at best.
    - I buy an iPad ($3500), pay for an Apple developer account($100) and start using Flash CS5.
    - I have to strip out the AS3 from my Flex project to bring it into Flash CS5. (Abandoning all the Flex components that made it great in the first place)
    - I get my AS3 application running locally on my iPad. Despite every effort, it runs considerably slow (to my surprise)
    - Apple makes it's TOS changes, restricting 3rd party developer tools.
    - I'm now **** out of luck getting my Flash based application public (iTunes Store)
    - Adobe starts to turn it's attention to Android (a move I fully supported despite my own shortcomings)
    - AIR for Android starts to unfold. So, I start taking a look at it in addition to downloading the Android SDK.
    - Publishing anything to an Android device, using Flash Builder, is (again) a complex, messy and tedious task. Command lines etc.. nightmare.
    - Now, Apple reverses it's TOS policies.
    - More Android 2.2 Froyo devices begin to emerge now (especially tablets like the Galaxy)
    So, at this point I digress.
    So, Adobe. You wanted us to migrate to Flash Builder. So, we did. This, by the way, means we BOUGHT the software. ($780)
    So, you want to demonstrate Flash's power to publish to mobile devices. (meaning, now, iOS and Android)
    ALRIGHT THEN, WHY DONT YOU SPEND SOME TIME GETTING FLASH BUILDER 4 UP TO PAR ALREADY? WHY DON'T YOU MAKE PUBLISHING FOR BOTH PLATFORMS (iOS and ANDROID) MORE ELEGANT NOW? WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO BUY FLASH CS5 NOW THAT WE'VE FINALLY COME ON BOARD WITH FLASH BUILDER? WHY DONT YOU SPEND SOME TIME PROVIDING AN ELEGANT SOLUTION FOR MOBILE PUBLISHING - LIKE YOU'VE ALREADY DONE FOR FLASH CS5 (MONTHS AGO). I SHOULD BE ABLE TO FILL OUT A FEW FIELDS, SELECT A FEW OPTIONS FROM A MENU AND PUBLISH MY APPLICATION FROM FLASH BUILDER. NOT DOWNLOAD SDK'S, DOWNLOAD SPECIAL BUILDS OF AIR AND FLASH PLAYER ON A WEEKLY BASIS. GET FLASH BUILDER 4 UP TO PAR SO WE CAN WRITE ONCE AND PUBLISH (PUSHING A BUTTON) TO BOTH iOS AND ANDROID WITHOUT SPENDING HOURS FIGURING OUT HOW TO GET IT ALL WORKING.

    Again, my issue is not with Flash Builder itself. In fact I think Adobe is doing a tremendous job regarding many things at this juncture. They've been under a considerable amount of pressure, especially since Apple tried to declare Flash an obsolete technology. I'm proud of Adobe and Flash - which I thoroughly enjoy working with. I also enjoy working with Flash Builder.
    My issue is in regards to support. It's that simple. I understand that many features take time to prepare prior to their public release. This is obvious. There are a lot of tests to be made prior to even a first release. My issue is a specific one. It is in regards to Flash Builder and their attitude towards this piece of software as it relates to this "mobile storm" that has approached. Everything is about MOBILE, MOBILE, MOBILE. Well, ok.. it's about mobile. Adobe really only has two (count that, 2!) pieces of software that creates Flash content. (and NO, that isn't a lot). There's the Flash IDE and Flash Builder, which is SUPPOSED TO BE FOR DEVELOPERS. One would think that more time would have been spent of getting ELEGANT mobile publishing solutions into Flash Builder at this point. I'm tired of reading one massive pdf after another just to understand what the hell I'm supposed to be doing. AND.. on top of this.. they get simple, fluid, elegant solutions into the FLASH IDE in the meantime. iPhone, Android publishing with the click of a button in the Flash IDE? DONE! Months ago.. Flash Builder 4 with the same capabilities? Nothing. Command lines... Terminal windows.. give me a break.

  • Building complex flash game in Flash Builder 4 - Workflow/Best Practices

    I'm investigating switching to Flash Builder 4 for building a complex game that currently lives purely inside Flash CS4.  CS4 is a pretty terrible source code editor and debugger.  It's also quite unstable.  Many crashes caused by bad behavior in the SWF will take out the entire IDE so are almost impossible to debug.  And I've heard other horror stories.  To be clear, for this project I'm not interested in the Flex API, just the IDE.
    Surprisingly, it seems Flash Builder 4 isn't really set up for this type of development.  I was hoping for an "Import FLA" option that would import my Document Class, set it as the main entry point, and figure out where other assets live and construct a new project.  What is the best workflow for developing a project like this?
    What I tried:
    -Create a new Actionscript Project in the same directory where my CS4  lives
    -Set the primary source file to match the original project's source file and location
    -Set my main FLA as "export to SWC", and added "SWC PATH" to my flash builder 4 project.
    -Compile and run.. received many errors due to references to stage instance. I changed these to GetChildByName("stagename").  Instead, should I declare them as members of the main class?  (this would mimic what flash CS4 does).
    -My project already streams in several external SWF's.  I set these to "Export SWC" to get compile-time access to classes and varaibles. This works fine in cs4, the loaded SWF's behave as if they were in the native project.  Is the same recommended with FB4?
    -Should I also be setting the primary FLA as "export to swc"?  If not, how do I reference it from flex, and how does flex know which fla it should construct the main stage with?
    Problems:
    -I'm getting a crash inside a class that is compiled in one of the external SWF's (with SWC).  I cannot see source code for the stack inside this class at all.  I CAN see member variables of the class, so symbol information exists.  And I do see the stack with correct function names.  I even see local variables and function parameters in the watch window! But no source.  Is this a known bug, or "by design"? Is there a workaround?  The class is compiled into the main project, but I still cannot see source.  If FLEX doesn't support source level debugging of SWC's, then it's pretty useless to me.   The project cannot live as a single SWF.  It needs to be streaming and modular for performance and also work flow. I can see source just fine when debugging the exact same SWC/SWF through CS4.
    -What is the expected workflow with artists/designers working on the project?  Currently they just have access to all the latest source, and to test changes they run right through flash.  Will they be required to license Flash Builder as well so they can test changes?  Or should I be distributing the main "engine" as a SWF, and having it reference other SWF files that artists can work on?  They they compile their SWF in CS4, and to test the game, they can load the SWF I distribute.
    A whitepaper on this would be awesome, since I think a lot of folks are trying to go this direction.  I spent a long time searching the web and there is quite a bit of confusion on this issue, and various hacks/tricks to make things work.  Most of the information is stale from old releases (AS2!).
    If a clean workflow I would happily adopt Flash Builder 4 as the new development tool for all the programmers.  It's a really impressive IDE with solid performance, functional intellisense, a rich and configurable interface, a responsive debugger..I could go on and on.  One request is shipping with "visual studio keyboard layout" for us C++ nerds.
    Thanks very much for reading this novel!

    Flash builder debugging is a go!  Boy, I feel a bit stupid, you nailed the problem Jason - I didn't have "Permit Debugging set".  I didn't catch it because debugging worked fine in CS4 because, well, CS4 doesn't obey this flag, even for externally loaded SWF files (I think as long as it has direct access to the SWC). Ugh.
    I can now run my entire, multi SWF, complex project through FB with minimal changes.  One question I do have:
    In order to instantiate stage instances and call the constructor of the document class, I currently load the SWF file with LoaderContext.  I'm not even exporting an SWC for the main FLA (though I may, to get better intellisense).  Is this the correct way of doing it?  Or should I be using , or some other method to pull it into flex?  They seem to do the same thing.
    The one awful part about this workflow is that since almost all of my code is currently tied to symbols, and lives in the SWF, any change i make to code must first be recompiled in CS4, then I have to switch back to FB.  I'm going to over time restructure the whole code base to remove the dependency of having library symbols derive from my own custom classes.  It's just a terrible work flow for both programmers and artists alike.  CS5 will make this better, but still not great.  Having a clean code base and abstracted away assets that hold no dependencies on the code  seems like the way to go with flash.  Realistically, in a complex project, artists/designers don't know how to correctly set up symbols to drive from classes anyway, it must be done by a programmer.  This will allow for tighter error checking and less guess work.  Any thoughts on this?
    Would love to beta test CS5 FYI seeing as it solves some of these issues.

    How are you launching the debug session from Flash Builder? Which SWF are you pointing to?
    Here's what I did:
    1) I imported your project (File > Import > General > Existing project...)
    2) Create a launch configuration (Run > Debug Configuration) as a Web Application pointing to the FlexSwcBug project
    3) In the launch config, under "URL or path to launch" I unchecked "use default" and selected the SWF you built (I assume from Flash Pro C:\Users\labuser\Documents\FLAs\FlexSwcBug\FlexSwcBugCopy\src\AdobeBugExample_M ain.swf)
    4) Running that SWF, I get a warning "SWF Not Compiled for Debugging"
    5) No problem here. I opened Flash Professional to re-publish the SWF with "Permit debugging" on
    6) Back In Flash Builder, I re-ran my launch configuration and I hit the breakpoint just fine
    It's possible that you launched the wrong SWF here. It looks like you setup DocumentClass as a runnable application. This creates a DocumentClass.swf in the bin-debug folder and by default, that's what Flash Builder will create a run config for. That's not the SWF you want.
    In AdobeBugExample_Main.swc, I don't see where classCrashExternal is defined. I see that classCrashMainExample is the class and symbol name for the blue pentagon. Flash Builder reads the SWC fine for me. I'm able to get code hinting for both classes in the SWC.

  • Do I have to use Flash Builder?

    Hello,
    I am a newbie. Do I have to buy Flash Builder to create mobile applications? I successfully used Flex a while ago without Flash Builder (just emacs and Flex compiler) to make SWF files, but I am new to mobile development and I am not sure if I can package my Flex apps for, say, iOS, etc by just using the Flex tools.
    Thanks

    1. It appears as though the current plan is for that backend stuff to be done in Flash Builder (formerly known as Flex).  This is because Catalyst is intended to be a designer-specific tool, and the designer does not always know the code.  Instead the designer sets up the states, and gets it ready, and the developer connects the dots.
    2. Hopefully they will get round-tripping to Builder in by the first full release.  At the current time, once the FXP is opened in Builder, there is no way to bring it back to Catalyst.  on that workflow
    Personally, the more I think about it, the more I see Catalyst being integrated into Builder, as a Designer-oriented Front-end.
    Also, why do they allow you to see the code in Catalyst if you can't do anything with it....?  If you want to fully break off from the Developer-side of things, you should show no part of it.  And, don't show the code without allowing us to change it!
    Sorry, took off on a (short) rant that would be better served in its own thread.

  • Problem with inline FXG in Flash Builder

    Hello,
    True newbie to Flex and Flash Builder.
    I am trying to use FXG code out of Illustrator CS4 and PASTE in in a skin.mxml file.
    I thought that Flash Builder would automatically convert the <Graphic> tag to a Spark <s:Graphic> tag after I pasted in the SHOW CODE segment from Illustrator Save function.
    The same for all the other tags.
    It does not. Flash Builder just gives me an error when I save the Skin.mxml file.
    I don't want to just import the .FXG file as a component because it contains text in the layout I want to dynamically change in an <s:List.>
    Sample code:
    <s:Skin
        xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
        xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
        xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo"
        xmlns:ai="http://ns.adobe.com/ai/2008"
        xmlns:d="http://ns.adobe.com/fxg/2008/dt"
        xmlns:graphics="assets.graphics.*">
        <fx:Metadata>[HostComponent("spark.components.List")]</fx:Metadata>
        <s:states>
            <s:State name="normal"/>
            <s:State name="disabled"/>
        </s:states>
        <s:Rect
            height="457"
            ai:objID="4ee65600"
            d:userLabel="pageContentArea"
            width="921"
            x="0.5"
            y="1.5">
            <s:stroke>
                <s:SolidColorStroke caps="none" color="0x002581" joints="miter" miterLimit="4" scaleMode="normal" weight="1" color.normal="#3993d2"/>
            </s:stroke>
        </s:Rect>
        <Graphic version="1.0" viewHeight="2000" viewWidth="2000" ai:appVersion="14.0.0.367" d:id="1" >
                <Library>
                    <Definition name="sym3d_Pyramid_Rainbow" d:userLabel="3d Pyramid Rainbow">
                        <Group>
                            <Group x="-7.52246" y="-24.9131">
                                <Group ai:knockout="0">
                                    <Path winding="nonZero" ai:knockout="0" data="M0.358887 9.48828L7.5249 12.5605 7.521 0.279297 0.358887 9.48828Z" >
                                        <fill>
                                            <LinearGradient x="2.04785" y="11.2568" scaleX="11.5761" rotation="-45">
                                                <GradientEntry color="#ed2324" ratio="0"/>
                                                <GradientEntry color="#ed2224" ratio="0.617977"/>
                                                <GradientEntry color="#ed2324" ratio="0.629213"/>
                                                <GradientEntry color="#ed2024" ratio="0.983146"/>
                                            </LinearGradient>
    How do get this to work? What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,

    Hey Peter, Again I REALLY appreciate your help....
    So, Are you saying if follow the below process steps it will work?
    1. Copy of code from AI Save as FXG dialog box using the Show Code button.
    2. Open the Skin or ItemRenderer in Flash Builder Beta 2. (which one should I use to be able to BIND data, skin or itemrenderer)
    3. Paste the code in AT THE BOTTOM (after the Skin or ItemRenderer) (tags will still be in <Graphic> format NOT <s:Graphic> format)
    4. Move the Library tags to the top of pasted code.
    5. Save the file in Flash Builder that it will convert the tags to (s:xxxxxxx) type tags>
    IF this is wrong, please explain..I apologize, trying to pick this up as fast as I can...Solving this problem would allow me to move very quickly in creating the pages I have to.
    Not knowing Flex 4 well enough, it would take considerably more time if I had to save each individual OBJECT from AI and export as png or jpg or gif.
    I also would have to recreate the layout from scratch which would also be difficult at my current knowledge level.....
    Also, a learning point for me: In Flex 4 when I do this in Flash Catalyst (I have over 30 pages to build and probably 45 states and when work in Flash Catalyst it will crash if I move to many times in and out of editting components so I have to save often so I cannot do the whole in Catalyst and I need a repeatable process to get all  the different page graphics out of AI and into Flash Builder), Catalyst creates a List component in the main MXML file, a skin.mxml file, and a item renderer.mxml file. I am use to coding in Smalltalk, Javascript, and Java. What parts are considered the Model, View, and Controller in a MVC architecture?
    Thank you again Peter......

  • Flash Builder buttonMode = true not working

    Hi, I am having a really strange issue where I can't get any hand cursors to come up in Flash Builder. Anybody else have this problem. I ran into a situation where I've had to convert a ton of Flash Builder projects just to get the hand cursors to come up. Weird this is if I open the swf's in Flash the hand cursors will show up. Once they get on the web though, though don't work. It's almost as if the buttonMode property will not work in swf's compiled in Flash Builder. I've tried with Flash Builder 4 and 4.5 and no luck. I told a friend, and he didn't believe me. So I asked him to just do a simple test in Flash Builder to create a Sprite and add it to the stage, add a click listener, and set it's buttonMode to true. He has the same problem, no hand cursor. I've even tried to set useHandCursor true with buttonMode, etc.... to no avail. Any help? Thanks!

  • Flash Builder & RAD 7.5.5/WAS 6.1/7.0

    I'm trying to create a Flex/Java combined wtp project with BlazeDS and creating the first one in the workspace works fine. "Fine" meaning the Flex project and associated EAR proj are created as expected. Now when I create a second combined Flex/Java project the Module/WAR from the new project is automatically added to the old EAR project. Is there any way to force Flash Builder to create a new EAR project based on the project name?
    Current Functionality
    First Project:
    Test1 -> Test1EAR
    Second Project(WRONG):
    Test2 -> Test1EAR
    Desired Functionality
    First Project:
    Test1 -> Test1EAR
    Second Project (CORRECT):
    Test2 -> Test2EAR
    ** My current work around**
    1) Create the new EAR project (i.e. Project2EAR)
    2) Create Flex/Java combined project
    3) Remove the new WAR Module from Project1EAR
    4) Add the new WAR Module to Project2EAR
    5) Add the application to the WAS server

    In order for you to downgrade you need to hava an AVL license, and yes it is possible, you just need to call support.

    Check Backward licensing policy
    "Adobe allows program members to order a current-version license but use a prior version. These members can contact Adobe Customer Service to request a serial number for the earlier version if they do not already have one. Prior-version software is available via ESD and can be purchased through standard resellers. The program member must follow all guidelines of the current-version EULA.
    Note: This policy is applicable under the TLP and Forms Licensing Program (FLP) as well."
    Hope it helps!
