Flex build path

Whenever I try to change the build path, FB3 remembers it for
the current session, builds and runs fine, then forgets the
settings when the program is saved giving no indication that it has
not been stored.
It is totally infuriating. Has anyone any ideas how to get
round this.

Hi levancho,
Thanks for your answer.
You probably meant to use
src\classes\projectPackage as the Main source folder.
This is working this way. However, there are some little
problems :
I have this warning : "
Source path entry, '
D:\project\src\classes', is a subdirectory of source path
entry, '
D:\project\src\classes\projectPackage'." which is
strange because it is the second path which is a subdirectory of
the first.
There are conflicts when the compiler
tries to resolve the classes within the
src\classes\projectPackage directory. For instance, for a
class clalled Application located in
src\classes\projectPackage\Application.as, it doesn't know
how to make a difference between Application and
projectPackage.Application.
Solution : move classes from
projectPackage to some sub packages.
Anyway, if it may not be the perfect solution, it just works,
so thank you very much :)
Regards,
Philippe

Flash Builder 4.7 becomes unresponsive when trying to add 5-6 source folder under Flex build Path

Hi,
I am facing issue with Flash Builder 4.7.
Whenever I am trying to open any mxml or .as file after project setup, flash Builder 4.7 becomes unresponsive without showing any error message or popup.
At the initial project setup, I am able to open file but when I try adding 5-6 source folder under Flex build path->source path, it’s become unresponsive.
Everything works fine in Flash builder 4.6, but I have license key only for flash builder 4.7 and want to use Flash Builder 4.7.
Please help me to solve this issue.

Fixed: In Project prefs: Flex Build path: added the similar swc folder called "local" from FB 4.6 eclipse/plugins directory and removed the 4.7 one.
For some reason the 4.7 eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flexbuilder.project_4.7.0.345990/dcradS wcs/4.5/locale folder has localisation folders in it and not swc's like in FB 4.6..

Flex Build Path: fiber.swc, playerfds.swc & dcradSwcs automatically added after I removed them

Hi,
I'm working on an application which uses old Flex 3.4 (used for Adobe LiveCycle). This SDK already contains fiber.swc and playerfds.swc so I removed them from Flex Build Path. But if I reopen the project, the removed lines are there again.
So whats wrong? Bug? This is a serious issue for me since some classes from newer fiber.swc is not backwards compatible to version 3.4.
I'm using Flash Builder Premium 4.7. It would be great if I could solve that because I have to remove these paths everytime I open the project.

Few things I've discovered that might be able to help you.
Make sure you download both the newest version of the playerglobal.swc (for flash player 10.1), and replace it either in your SDK files, or have it in a library (in Flex 3 you need to disable the older playerglobal, I'm not sure about FB 4)
Use the newest OSMF.swc available from the OSMF downloads page.
Make sure you have the compile settings for OSMF set up in your compile line (mangle for FB4 if needed):-define CONFIG::LOGGING false -define CONFIG::DEBUG false -define CONFIG::FLASH_10_1 true
I've been able to compile flex projects using OSMF doing these steps.
Hope this helps.

Flex Build Path : How to really customize output folder ?

Hi all,
I am using this kind of project structure :
D:\project\src\ : the flex project sources
D:\project\src\classes\ : the mxml / AS classes
D:\project\bin\ : the swf output
My main application is in this path :
D:\project\src\classes\projectPackage\Main.mxml.
I configured my Flex Build Path (in the flex project
properties) this way :
- Main source folder :
classes
- Output folder :
D:\project\bin
Unfortunately, the output files are created in these paths :
D:\project\bin\projectPackage\Main.swf
D:\project\bin\projectPackage\Main-debug.swf
D:\project\bin\projectPackage\Main-profile.swf
Whereas I wanted :
D:\project\bin\Main.swf
D:\project\bin\Main-debug.swf
D:\project\bin\Main-profile.swf
Would you know if it is possible to configure the real output
folder somewhere ?
Thank you all
Cheers
Philippe

Flex Builder 3 Error: Unable to load SWC

Hi,
I am trying to use the YahooMaps component (YahooMaps.swc) in
my application. I have included it in the build path of my
application.
Steps followed:
1. Right-click on the project and choose Properties or open
the Project menu and choose Properties.
2. In the project properties dialog, choose Flex Build Path.
3. Select the Library path tab, and press the Add SWC...
button.
4. Selected the YahooMap.swc
I still get "Unable to load SWC: YahooMap.swc". It is an AS
3.0 component. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Sumit

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your reply.
I have followed the documentation on the site you provided.
All I have done so far is:
1. Create a new flex project in Flex Builder 3
2. Once the project is created, I try to add the YahooMap.swc
to my Flex build path.
3. Once I add the YahooMap.swc, it fails with the error
"Unable to load YahooMap.swc" in Flex Builder 3.
4. FB3 does not recognize YahooMap when I try to import it in
AS3.
import com.yahoo.maps.api.YahooMap;
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Does it have to do
something with the version Y! has used to build the YahooMap.swc
and Flex Builder 3?
Thanks
Sumit

Share project configuration with team and Build Path?

Question 1:
Is it possible to share the Flex Builder project settings (Flex Build Path, etc.) with other users? It would be nice to be able to do this so all developers on a team do not have to follow a step-by-step procedure for setting up a project. For example in a Java Project you can simply check-in the project and classpath files and new developers don't have to spend anytime setting up their ide. I took a look at what flex is doing and it appears it saves this information (at least some of it) in the plugins directory. I can't find exactly where but it seems very odd.
Question 2:
When setting the Flex build path is there a way to set-up a SWC Folder that recursively adds SWC's in sub-directories? We pull in Flex libs from artifactory which places them into an un-flattened structure. Since all the libs are in sub-dirs they are not found. We have to manually add each lib individually?
Any ideas on either of these questions? Thank you.

Re: Question 1.
Do you mean check into SVN or similar? Anyway, it seems Flash builder is saving some configuration about build paths etc. in the .actionScriptProperties file, which is found in the root folder of a project. Another option might be to export the project as a Flash Builder project by right-clicking it in the package explorer and choosing Export?
Re: Question 2.
Afaik the IDE doesn't support recursively going through a folder to find all swc:s. You could probably solve this using an ANT script. E.g. the following script recursively copies all files with .swc extension from the libraries (AS3) folder to the libs folder of a project.
<project name="swcTest" default="copy.swc" basedir=".">
    <property name="swc.src" value="${basedir}/../../libraries (AS3)/" />
    <property name="swc.dest" value="${basedir}/libs/" />
    <target name="copy.swc" description="Recursively copies swc files from source to target folder">
        <echo message="${swc.src}" />
        <echo message="${swc.dest}" />
        <copy todir="${swc.dest}" failonerror="true" flatten="true">
          <fileset dir="${swc.src}"
                   includes="**/*.swc"
          />
        </copy>
    </target>
</project>

Build Path will not save

I was using a source folder before and was outputting to a
different folder.
I recently altered those settings to comply with some project
regulations, now... the settings in Flex Build Path won't save.
For example, I was relating to a Flex Library Project, now I
don't, so I removed it but every time my project reloads, it shows
the old setting under Flex Build Path.
The same goes for the Output Folder and Output URL.
Output Folder resets to bin
Output URL resets to previews settings
I've rechecked spellings and other mistakes, no problem
there.

you could manualy open following files : .project
.actionScriptProperties
.flexProperties and make your changes there.
also make sure to update run and debug configurations with
new settings.

Design Flex with Fireworks CS4 or Flex Builder?

I need help in making a process decision on how to build Flex
Apps going forward.
In the past, we have built the concept for our Flex app in
Photoshop and sent it over to our development team in India to
build. The process has been difficult because our engineers are not
designers and our designers are not engineers. Invariably we spend
alot of time bridging the gap between whats possible and what we
want to see in our Apps.
I want to bring our Design and Dev much closer together and
essentially take the GUI out of the hands of my Indian Developers
who choose to work in raw XML rather than Builder today.
To accomplish this goal, I will be training my US Design team
to become either Fireworks Experts or Flex Builder Experts....
(they are already Photoshop experts) This is where I need your
help. If you were starting from scratch with a talented design team
that could learn either tool, which one would you choose to
accomplish the goal? Does the Fireworks to Flex export create
crappy code like Dreamweaver thats tough to modify manually? Does a
"true" Flex developer despise Fireworks-generated code?
I have read up on the Fireworks>Flash Catalyst>Flex
Builder Path and dont understand the additional step... is Catalyst
part of Fireworks and thats how Flex code is developed or is it a
new code generation engine that does code better than Fireworks
CS4?
Thanks in advance.

Here's my recommendation:
I would suggest Fireworks for your Design team/ Flexbuilder
for your dev team.
Essentially, what Fireworks already has in terms of Flex UI
components (though a short list) is identical in theme (default
halo) AND output (mxml code) as you would expect from creating in
Flexbuilder alone.
You can then easily extend your designs with custom
components using the Fw Commands Export Flex Skins and they can be
imported to your Flex project using the CSS Designer.
As for Catalyst, this is a separate beast altogether. It's
merely meant to bridge designs (from design applications Ps, Ill,
Fw) and create usable components for complete animations.
A full tutorial/ video overview was just released a few days
ago here
http://blog.digitalbackcountry.com/2009/01/getting-started-with-flash-catalyst-tutorial/
As for how Fw fits into the Catalyst scheme of things,
designs you create can be exported to the FXG format that Catalyst
will use, if you want to use Flex and work with this format you
have to have the latest Flex SDK plugged into FlexBuilder 3 or Flex
4 will have full support for it.
Here is an older referebce to this scenerio (reference to
Thermo = Flash Catalyst and Gumbo = Flex 4)
http://www.mikechambers.com/blog/2008/08/28/getting-started-with-flex-4-fxg-and-flex-build er-3/

Problem with Flex Builder 3

Hey Experts,
I tried creating Flex Library Project in Flex Builder 3. No issues so far. Everything works fine. When the day ends, I close Flex Builder (without closing the project as it restores them during next launch). I had to close it...I can't keep the system running. Global warming you know...Next day when I launched Flex Builder, I could see my project there. However, when I open Project Properties dialog box, I get some errors while trying to open Flex Library Build Path or Flex Library Compiler pages. The error says "The currently displayed page contains invalid values."
C'mon man you gotta be kidding me. Yesterday you didn't say anything. What's the matter with you today. By the way, I didn't change anything in properties. How could I? I am unable to open it...
Does anyone understands Flex Builder's logic here?

Mate the first thing I tried was this...
If you want to see the problem, try crating a Flex Library Project in Flex Builder 3. Create couple of classes and close Flex Builder without closing the project. Re-launch Flex Builder and try to open Project -> Properties -> Flex Build Path or Project -> Properties -> Flex Compiler. You should be able to see the problem.

Install Spring IDE 2.X plugin with Flex Builder 3

I'm new to Flex environment, but what I'm trying to do here is to install Spring IDE 2x with flex builder 3 using update plug in manager....
After attempted many times, I gave up because I got a bunch of errors. Please help me any instructions would be really appreciated.
Since Flex built on top eclip, so here what I followed:

Help Help Help please.....
Thanks,
Dave,

He levancho.
Thank you for your help. I almost got it with your advice.
Putting it all together it is the following for me:
1) create an Adobe ID at https://cocomo.acrobat.com/
2) unzip CocomoSDK_0.91 and place that directory under your
eclipse_install_dir/plugins
3) create a new Flex Project
4) add the
eclipse_install_dir/plugins/cocomo../lib/player10/afcs.swc to Flex
Build Path / Library path in the project properties
5) Change Flex Compiler / Require Flash Player version to
10.0.0 in the project properties
6) Add the attached code as a test application ...
I found the following tutorial very helpful:

Notice that I changed some namespaces since the given code
did not exactly work for me.
Thank you, Noam

Flex Builder 3.0.2 on Windows Vista 64bits

Hello,
I've installed Flex Builder 3.2 on Windows Vista Home Premium
64-bits, everything seems to work fine except for a detail.
When I go into a project's property panel, specifically:
Flex Build Path or
Flex Modules, in the first window it should display two tabs
at the top and the list with the source path you added to your
project. For some reason these are not showing.
Screenshot here:
http://img80.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotjq8.jpg
I've tryed disabling themes, effects, windows sidebar, etc
but the problem persist.
I'd like to know if any had this issue and if you did what
did you do to fix it. It's not like you can't work on flex because
of this but it is annoying.
Any comment is appreciated!

The solution is to disable Logitech SetPoint software. I have no idea why but finally found it posted somewhere else here and it does in fact solve the problem. I notified Logitech, don't really expect them to fix it.
You don't have to uninstall it, just quit out of it and if you run Flex a lot, remove SetPoint from the Startup folder so it doesn't run automatically.
You don't even have to restart Flex or anything, just quit SetPoint and open the project properties again, instant fix.

Thank you for your response. Being a newbie to Microsoft
Vista (which I recommend the world to reject) I don't know exactly
how to describe how I got the install of Flex Builder 2 to work.
But, a friend of mine walked me through turning off the Windows
Defender security settings as well as all security settings related
to my user's setting. I believe I disabled two Vista "features",
and then the install worked. The only thing was that the checkboxes
during the install program did not appear, but clicking the
respective questions themselves did the trick (i.e. do you agree to
software license?' and 'install Flash player on IE / Firefox?')
Sorry I can't be more specific... but, for anyone that has
this problem, in the words of my friend, "Turn everything off in
Vista you can, then try it!".
Good luck,
