Flex 2 SDK with NetBeans

Hello,
I have to select NetBeans over Flexbuilder for an IDE. What I
do not know is how to make Flex SDK 2.0 framework (which is
available as free download) work with NetBeans.
1) Will I be able to open MXML files, and get same visual
level of experience with NetBeans as it delivers with FlexBuilder?
2) Are there any serious trade off or compromises that I have
to live with NetBeans/Flex SDK combo v/s FlexBuilder?
Thanks,
Ruchir

Ruchir,
This forum is for flex 1.5, and hardly anyone pays it any
attention anymore.
Post your question on the Flex builder 2 forum.

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.

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!

Flex SDK with Eclipse

Hello,
I am quite new in Flex and Eclipse, but I would like to start my journey. So at the beginning I have to have a software to create my projects. I decided to make it in Eclipse SDK with Flex SDK. But I have no idea how can I install Flex SDK in Eclipse. I mean I would like to be able pree new and then Flex application. Something like this in this movie: http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/media/flexapp/
So can someone help me??

The Flex 2 plugin for Eclipse does not work with Eclipse
3.3.x - you need 3.2.x. Download the Flex 3 Beta from Adobe labs
and that will work with Eclipse 3.3.x
You can use a Flex 2 SDK with the Flex Builder 3 plugin -
each Flex 3 project can select its own Flex SDK. Plus you can help
us test Flex 3, including the Profiler tool.

Could not install J2SE v 1.4.2_04 SDK with NetBeans 3.6

when trying to install, gives error: the wizard cannot continue because of the following error: could not load wizard specified in /wizard.inf (104)

Hola amigo,
Well, I had the same Error, but I could find a solution for it issue. You must rename a file called sax.jar in the directory %JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/endorsed/sax.jar for any other name, So that netBeans dose'nt find it file. I Don't know waht is the really cause, but in the netBeans.org said that it's a incorrect Sax version.
I did it and colud achieve a sucessefull instaltion.

Hi Swapnil,
1)Try Overlaying SDK to 2.0 like:
                 a)Download the AIR SDK 2.0 zip
                 b)and paste it at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0 and
                 c)extract it.Check whether this SDK selected in Flex Compiler.
2) Make sure that you have changed the AIR version number in descripter file (-app.xml) for example <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5"> here have to change 1.5 to 2.0.
3) In the Flex Compiler panel check that which Flex SDK (3.5) has been selected. Might it different from defaultly selected.
In Flex Builder you can check in two ways :
          a)Window>Preferences>Flex>Installed SDKs(Default)>Check SDK selected.
          b)Select Project folder in Navigator Panel and Mouse Right click >properties>Flex Compiler>Check SDK selected.
4)Make sure that the opening files have accessibility with this function.

Can we use Flash Player 11 abilities through Flex SDK 4.5.1?

Hi All
As you know BitmapData has some limitation for image size and resolution in Flash Player 10 (maximum resolution is 8192) and for Flash Player version 11 and later, Adobe fixed this limitation and depends on OS we can have all type of huge resolutions in BitmapData.
But my problem is now I'm using Flex SDK 4.5.1 which base Flash Player is 10.2.159.1.
So is there any possibility to use this benefit of Flash Player 11 with my current Flex SDK with implementing a restriction based on Flash version with something like Capabilities.version or not?
Thanks in advance

Tanx, But I must keep my current version of Flash Player and I'm not able to change swf-version or target-player through compiler settings arguments or etc... I just need these feature for BitmapData.
Can I use something like this to check if my object has new methods of Flash Player or not:
if(myInstance.hasOwnProperty("newMethodInFlashEleven")) myInstance[newMethodInFlashEleven]();
Is there any new method for BitmpaData class in Flash player 11, to check it based on that?!

No Flex Charts with SDK 3.5

Hi guys. I am experiencing a problem with not being able to use Flex's chart components with sdk 3.5
I have Flex Builder Professional.
Charts work with the 3.0 and 3.2 SDK but not 3.5
Am I missing something?

I found out that the library is not bundled with the SDK itself and has to be downloaded separate. I downloaded the library here http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flex/sdk/datavisualization_sdk3.5.zip

Flash Builder 4 with Flex SDK 4.0 for Intel App Up

There is some misinformation on Intel AppUp and the Melrose FAQ about being able to publish with Flash Builder 4.
Intel App Up Program Submission
According to http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/article/adobe-air-packaging-guide-atom-developer-progr am-submissions
"AIR app must be built using Flex Builder 3 with Flex SDK 3.5a. Currently Flex Builder 4 with Flex SDK 4 is not supported."
Melrose FAQ
According to http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/melrose/Melrose+Developer+FAQ
"Q: Are there system requirements for enabling try and buy in AIR apps using Melrose?
A: You must have Adobe Flex Builder 3 or greater and Adobe AIR 1.5.3 or greater."
Is the Intel App Up statement correct? If it is, could I get an explanation why? I've been waiting for the last 3 months waiting for the Melrose SDK to deploy to Intel App Up and now I can't even submit my application.
Thanks.

The current version of Melrose supports Flex 3.5 SDK for AIR applications running on AIR 1.5.3 runtime or higher. You can use Adobe Flex Builder 3 with Flex 3.5 SDK or Adobe Flash Builder 4 with Flex 3.5 SDK.
Support for Flex 4.1 SDK for AIR applications running on AIR 2.0 runtime should be available within a few weeks. Please note that we will not be able to support Flex 4.0 SDK because of certain technical challenges.

Can't package native installer on Linux with Flex SDK 4.5 : Invalid AIR file

Hi,
We've moved our application to compile against the 4.5 SDK.
We're compiling it with Flash Builder (on mac) into an air file and as our application is using NativeProcess API, we're packaging it on each platform into a native installer with the following command (linux example) : adt -package -target native app.deb app.air
We think we fall into the same issue as http://forums.adobe.com/message/3271944#3271944 but for the 4.5 DSK.
On Linux it used to work with the following environment (env1):
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Java Sun 1.6.0_24
- Flex SDK 4.1.0.16076 + Adobe Air SDK 2.5.0
It stops to work when we upgrade to the new Flex SDK (env2):
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Java Sun 1.6.0_24
- Flex SDK 4.5.0.20967 (with the default embeded Adobe Air SDK 2.6)
The faut message is "Invalid AIR file" and nothing is logged in the log file (/home/<username>/.appdata/Adobe/AIR/Logs/Install.log).
1) The .air file is installing correctly on env2 (without the support of the NativeProcess as expected)
2) We also tried to compile the project directly on env2 :
amxml app.mxml
adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore cert.p12 app.air app-app.xml air.swf
The .air file is installing fine but the packaging into a native process fails in the same way...
3) We tried to package a native installer of our .air file on env1 and it works!!! (the installed application seems to work fine also on env2!!!)
Are we missing something or does it seems to be a bug of the Flex SDK 4.5?
Are there some restrictions to package a native installer with the Flex SDK 4.1 a air app build with the Flex SDK 4.5 ?
Thanks in advance,
Mich

Hi,
Finally we figure out how to solve the issue.
The packaging into native .deb installer fails as explain above because with the hole Flex SDK 4.5 (adt -version told 2.6.0.1920).
The packaging is successfull if only Air SDK 2.6 is install.
What is strange that both adt seems to be the same "2.6.0.1920" (found with "adt -version").
Can someone from the Adobe dev team explain it?
I suppose as the Flex SDK is not available for the Linux platform, the download only contains the Air SDK for Windows and Mac OS as opposed to the specific download of the Air SDK for te Linux platform...
Thanks,
Mich

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

Problem with Netbeans 7.1 and ME SDK 3.0.5 plugin

Hi!
I have problem plugin ME SDK 3.0.5 to Netbeans 7.1. When I try to install plugin into Netbeans I get this kind informations:
Warning - could not install some modules: Profiler (Java ME Projects Support) - The module named org.netbeans.modules.profiler/1 was needed and not found. Java ME SDK CPU Profiler Snapshot Viewer - The module named org.netbeans.modules.profiler/1 was needed and not found. 5 further modules could not be installed due to the above problems.
Does anyone know what is wrong?
I am truly grateful for the answer!

Hi Anvi,
I think you posted in the right place as the J2ME SDK Team read this forum (though they sometimes don't respond promptly as we would have liked). I also got the same issue as you, but check out the responses by the J2ME SDK Team to: https://blogs.oracle.com/javamesdk/entry/update_java_me_sdk_through
It seems there are issues with Netbeans 7.1, and they are fixing things for the next release for Netbeans 7.1.1 so I am sure they are aware of problems that we are encountering. Its fine for Netbeans 6.9/7 if you cannot wait though.

Integrate j2ee sdk 1.4 with netbeans

Hi!
I'm working on a Win2k server with j2ee sdk 1.4. I've read taht you can integrate it with netbeans 3.6.
I don't want to work with the netbeans 3.6 integrated Tomcat 5 server, but with the one from Sun because of some requirements at work (We've been working with the j2ee sdk 1.4 for a while and don't want to export configuration files or the like).
Beign direct, I want to create server apps apps with netbeans 3.6 and I want to deploy them all from within the same IDE...
I don't know what options, command-line switches and variables need to work with to achieve this matter.
How can I do that?
Any comments will be very appreciated!
Carl!

To connect to the J2EE 1.4 SDK or Sun Java System Application Server from NetBeans you need the plugin that enables the connection, which hasn't been released yet. It should be available at the end of the month.

Is Adobe FLash builder 4.7 compatible with flex sdk 3.5?

Is Adobe FLash builder 4.7 compatible with flex sdk 3.5?

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.
