Flex 4 beta tutorials great--but...
I went through the tutorials at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/fcf_getting_started_coldfusion_flex_02.html and was very quickly able to get the sample (and some of my own cfc's) to work on my local pc.
What I've been struggling with for days (and more days) is how to get it to work on my server. After all - what good is it on my local machine?
I can't find anywhere that it explains that.
It can't possibly just work by ftping the files to my server. They are using a reference to http://localhost:/flex2gateway , which I wouldn't expect to work.
I believe Flex compiles the files needed into a swf, but I don't see how to get it to compile the information I need to put it on my server.
Please help!!!!
This has been my sole mission for Flex. I don't know if I've missed a single day trying to accomplish it and my 30 day trial is just about over.

Hi all.
I'm banging my head against a wall here, and wondered if someone else could help me out!
I'm working on a project which utilises a 3rd party open source control based on Halo Panels. It would take quite a bit of time to re-write this control to be Spark based.
As part of the project spec, the application must be dynamically skinnable to allow easy customisation. This means the look and feel has been done mostly using embedded images within a CSS file, setting background images and other styles that support images. These can be loaded at runtime, and everyone was happy.
Attached is a screenshot called Flex3Screenshot. This shows the look that was desired in the app : "Glossy" panel headers and a light border around the panel.
Then, it was decided that we should be using Flex 4 Beta 2, not the previous 3.4 SDK. (The version I'm using is the standard vanilla 4.0.0.10485)
Mostly, the transition has been OK. I've changed many controls from Halo to Spark as appropriate, but this wasn't possible with the Goozo controls, so we've had to stick with Halo panels as the containers.
I'm now trying to bring back the old "dark" look and feel, and this is where I'm having trouble!
I've attached a massively cut-down FlexBuilder project with a simple style sheet, a single glossy title bar image, and an MXML app with a panel in it.
No matter what I do, I can't get the CSS to work in the same way, because the panel always has a 2 pixel wide border underneath its header. This border is made up of the panels base header colour which has the bitmap put over the top, leaving a small gap.
I can "remove" this, by setting the baseColor property to black, but the baseColor property seems to override the borderColor property, so I don't have borders any more, which "Isn't What We Want"(tm).
Setting the headerColors doesn't seem to work in Flex 4 (I've checked, and it works fine in Flex 3, and if it worked, I could spoof the glossy look by just setting a white to black gradient in the header colours), or set the header colour to black and overlay the image.
I can use the nasty kludge of -theme=${flexlib}/themes/Halo/halo.swc in the command line properties, but that's like admitting defeat! (and I can't guarantee that it will always work!)
Does anyone have any ideas? As far as I'm aware, I should be able to create an MXML skin component (as per http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/05/02/changing-the-title-bar-background-fill-on-a-spark- panel-container-in-flex-gumbo/), but as far as I know, I won't then be able to dynamically skin it with a CSS file.
Many thanks.
PeteHi,
Unfortunately this doesn't have anything to do with the FlexUnit code itself. These are bugs inside of the Flash Builder plugin. You may want to post on their forum as well to try to get some support.
The only advice I can offer, is that things seem to work much better if I consistently use the Execute FlexUnit Tests, which can be found under the run button. They work much less well if I right click and tell it to execute tests.

Migration from Flex 2 beta 3 to Flex 2
Hi there,
Whoever is reading this stuff, may I take an honour to notify
you all, there are big big big changes in running a flex 2 beta 3
applciation in compare to running a flex 2 release application.
I am almost finish with my project now and when we ported the
application to flex 2 release version, the application is not
working at all. Below is the list of problems I am facing...
1. Datagrid not at all supporting array collection anymore
2. Tree.selectedIndex not working
3. Drag and drop methods not supportive
4. All UI constraints are changes...
if anybody can answer these questions i would be
thankfulI'm sorry to hear that you are having problems. A few APIs
did change from B3 to final, but you should be getting compile
errors for those. I can assure you that all of the areas you
mentioned were tested and are working for many folks so if you can
supply examples of what isnt working we can try to get you back up
and running. -
Flex Builder Beta M4 uninstall failure

Anybody has any idea how to bypass this to get this POS
(piece of software) out of my system?Hi Larry,
Thank you so much for your reply!
I am mainly using Flash Builder Beta 2 which like I said does install fine(using the stand alone version). In code mode it does crash sometimes, but is rare, it happens now and then, but what I really want to get working is the design view. i am new to flex, and would really like this to work.
when I go to the terminal
java - version
java version "1.6.0_15"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_15-b03-219)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.1-b02-90, mixed mode)
I did install java 1.5 for CodlFusion 9, turned out that I don't need it, well I think not. I was thinking about re installing Snow Leopard to see if I could get Flex working, but I have not yet done that. I have heard that others have flash builder or flex working in snow leopard, can you confirm this?
My laestest error log FlashBuilder beta 2:
http://hawaiiflash.net/flashBuilder_error.txt
for Flex 3:
http://hawaiiflash.net/flex3_error.txt
also I have http://hawaiiflash.net/Flex3.txt
now I did hear from somebody that since I have 2 different versions of java this is causing issue with Flex? should I un-install all prior versions of java and just leave the 1.6 version? I am not sure why this would cause flex to crash when in design mode?
Thank you so much for your help, I would love to get flex working in design mode, either flex 3 or flash builder`-`

This is my first time working with a beta copies of software. I would like to upgrade to Flex 4 Beta 2. I do not see an uninstall for Flex 4 Beta 1. Will Flex 4 Beta 2 install in the same directory as Flex 4 Beta 1?
Are you on a Mac or PC? If on a Mac, you can look in Applications > Adobe Flash Builder Beta (or whatever your version is) > Uninstall Adobe Flash Builder Beta. Run the Uninstall from there. If you're on a PC just go to the Control Panel and uninstall using the Add/Remove Programs dialog.
Also, Flash Builder Beta 2 will install in a separate directory than Flash Builder Beta 1, but I think they still recommend that you uninstall Beta 1 first. -
LR4 Video = Aperture Knockoff - Great --- But knock it off RIGHT !
Hi.....
I dont particularly like Aperture. But I have been using it for a while now to organize my video-rushes.
Particularly trimming the H264 prior to transcode is amazing.
So I saw that LR4 had gotten video capabilities and downloaded the beta.
Great work Adobe. Must say. Really like to be able to WB my clips in Lightroom prior to transcoding. Super.
However, what use is Lightroom really If I cant:
1) Export to a Real-World codec. (You offer H.264 or DPX - Latter is GREAT but a little overkill for an H264 source that doesn't need to go commercial)
2) Import the trimmed clip (with the trims) directly into Premiere Pro or other apps. (I can drag the clip from LR4 directly into PPRO but PPRO will NOT adapt the in and outpoints which is totally stupid ;-)))
The way LR4 implements Video capabilities is an exact knock-off of Aperture 3.
What I ask is that if you have the audacity to so clearly copy Apples features why dont you copy them 100%....
Aperture has the following feature " Export Version " This feature will save the trimmed version of the Movie WITHOUT re-compresing(Re-Encoding). It will save the trimmed version to WHATEVER codec the original file is.
So one can cut off start and ending and SAVE the H264 as an independent movie WITH NO RE-ENCODING. I have Tripple checked it.. Re-saved that timmed file 10 times (Meaning 10 Generations of re-saving).
Putting all 10 inside AE and comparing with difference Mattes yields a black background which means, if you composition background is black, that there is NO differences. IF Aperture would indeed re-encode the 10th generation
re-save of the H264 would look horrible, NOT SO.
Adobe, your Premiere Crew holds the opinioin that ABOVE (Saving an H264 without Re-Compressing) cannot be done without quality loss.) That is why the "Save Trimmed Version" in Premiere Pro does NOT save H264-Trimmed versions but the whole file.
They claim that the movie would loose quality as PPRO would to re-encode. That IS NOT SO. Aperture and Apple have been doing it for a while now.
I know that this is ADVANCED technology and it is difficult to figure out. But perhaps if your engineers cannot figure this one out, you could at least give LR4 Video Users the ability to export the trimmed movie to ProRes or other useful codecs.
Thanx for reading99jon wrote:
Why not stick to Premiere Pro and set your in and out points there?
Using Lightroom simply adds to the workflow, with another stage of rendering.
I will always transcode.... Working with H264 is NOT an option for professional editing, Speedwise, it is TOOOOOO slow...
I need ProRes. If Lightroom could export to ProRes I could transcode ONLY the core´part of the clip and not the whole clip with extraneous beginnings and endings.
As of now, I'll just transcode everything coming off the FlashCard to prores. Then view it in the Finder. I would LOVE to copy the Flash card to the hard drive (Or import directly) then use LR4 as my Librarian GREAT FOR META DATA. Then transcode ONLY the part I need to ProRes...
Been doing this in Aperture, since V3 came out. And this is a VERY effiecient workflow. Premiere Pro iS NOT A LIBRARIAN where Lightroom is.
TO bad, adobes departments arent really communicatiung with each other. If LR4 developers would just have ONE meeting with the Premiere Pro department, adobe would gain ALL Premiere Pro users for Lightroom in the blink of an eye....
I could just export to DPX(LR4 does that) which I do every now and then, but ProRes is just as good and takes up 10x less HD space... So LR4 def. would benefit GREATLY from being able to export to ProRes.
Besides, LR4 USES Adobe Media Encoder and its presets to convert to DPX and etc... So WHY ON EARTH would adobe limit to DPX and H264... Lazyness ???? -
I have upgraded my MAC OS to 10.6.8.
Final Cut Pro 5.0 still runs great, but Soundtrack Pro 1.01 opens, but operates at a glacial pace. It does not functionally operate.
What can be done to remedy this?Depending on the configuration of the computer hardware and software
you may need to consider upgrade the RAM by installing more capacity.
Also, in the same vane, choose to consider upgrade the hard drive to
one of faster transfer, such as SSD, hybrid, or fusion; if not already at
least 7200-RPM and not too full of saved content.
Since no information is given about the model build configuration of Mac
there may be other suggestions to make it work better. Usually an OS X
upgrade requires one to look at the hardware resources available to it.
The OS X works best with more memory: new higher capacity chips.
This may be possible, and they should be high quality from reputable
vender who has tested them on Apple in OS X, such as OWC or Crucial.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Cannot run the samples in Flex Builde beta 3
The installation of Flex Builder finished OK. I did choose to
install Flash 9.0 in both IE and FF, but for some reason when going
to the examples it asks me to install Flesh 8.0. Even if I say yes
to th eprompt it doesn't display.
I have even re-installed the flas Active X manually and even
regieterd it as per instructions on the Installation of Flex
Builder 2.0 beta 3 page,, but still no luck...
Any help is appreciated.
ThanksP.S. I asked Chris Agruss (our build and installer guru)
about some
possible reasons why the Flash player installer might have
failed to
work for IE. I've attached his reply.
Rebecca - Adobe
Here are a few cases I know about where the ActiveX plugin
for FP won�t
be installed normally:
� IE is running at the time, and especially if activeX
has been run
� Outlook, or some other program that runs the IE
engine under the hood,
is running
� Older ActiveX version installed that needs some Dark
Magic, or
explicit uninstallation of some sort
In the first two cases, where IE is in use, the plugin will
normally be
installed after a reboot, but until then it will look as if
the
installation didn�t work.

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!
The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not. I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again. How can I fix this?
If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them. 800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly. Hope this helps.

My printer works great but I keep getting error messages from HP Solutions Center

The printer works great but I kept getting error messages from the HP Solutions Center every 15 seconds that popped up making it impossible to do work on my laptop so I uninstalled the Solutions Center to try to fix the problem. Now the printer won't print. Is there a way to re-install the Solutions Center and get rid of the pop up error messages?
hello Danagriz, unfortunately the plugin check page lags behind. adobe has released a critical patch for a vulnerability in its flash plugin, which is reportedly already exploited in the wild. therefore firefox will block insecure versions from running by default on websites for your protection.
https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb14-27.html https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/p794
please update to Adobe Flash Player version 16.0.0.235 as soon as possible, which you can download from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (use the windows-exe for plugin-based browsers).
in order to update java, go to java.com (or if you don't need the plugin you can also uninstall it though the windows control panel) -
