Flex Builder 3 Flash package changed / incomplete?

Hi,
I have installed
Flexbuilder3_b2,
flex3sdk_b3 &
air_b3_win_sdk. I am having problems with the
flash.desktop package in Flex builder 3.
When I use the Help I can see that in Flex 3 flash.desktop
are package components flash.desktop.NativeDrag* but when I try to
use them in code it appears they are not in my flash.desktop
package. Have flash.desktop.NativeDrag* been replaced by
flash.desktop.Drag*? I refer specifically to
NativeDragManager, NativeDragActions, NativeDragOptions.
Also, I am trying to run an example project which also refers
to flash.desktop.NativeApplication thus:
import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.NETWORK_CHANGE,
checkNetworkConnection);
- but NativeApplication is not referred to in the Help as
part of flash.desktop & not available in the list of
components. Can anyone tell me what this has been replaced with?
Thanks in advance,
Ob

Hi, your Flex Builder beta 2 is out of sync with your SDKs.
You should upgrade to FB beta 3.
NativeApplication is now WindowedApplication, and NativeDrag*
is the current naming for those classes. Perhaps you are looking at
the beta 3 AIR help while compiling with the beta 2 SDK paired with
FB beta 2. Try bringing FB up to date.

Adding a Flex Builder Flash-Integration and Utilities project to make these files easier for people to work on. Flash-Integration is really an intermediate swc that Utilities uses. I've also modified the existing Flex Builder project for flex4tests to build against this new utilities project directly.
Also change the way FlashIntegration is built--we no longer have a manifest file and just include-classes FlashIntegrationClasses.as.

Flex Builder not compiling changes

HELP!
I have a flex project that will build and run OK. If I make
changes to the a file in the project (an actionscript file to be
exact) the changes do not seem to compile. AN example is I take out
huge sections of the code and the project still will build and run.
I can also put in alert.show in the code and the code does not
execute.
This project is imported and originally comes out of SVN.
I have tried the clean build.
I can create my own project and make changes. Everything
works, but when I use the project created by someone else loaded
into SVN I cannot make any changes to the project. It is like Flex
Builder is compiling files from another location.
Please help. I am out of ideas.

- If there are any errors in the errors/console panel, a new
swf won't be created
- Make sure the target SWF file isn't set to Read-Only. It'll
prevent Flex Builder from updating the file.
- Check your build settings to make sure where FB is creating
the file is the same location you expect it to be

Flash CS3 fl.* package cannot be used in Flex Builder 3

Hi,
I was very disappointed to find out that one cannot import
the fl.* package, which is available for flash CS3. I found a work
around by creating swc file and importing them, however it's
disappointing that flash CS3 would have such a major advantage over
Flex Builder 3 when building an Action Script 3.0 Application.
Best, E

I've looked over that sample.
Part of the problem is that I don't have access to
mx.effects. I think this is because that example is a Flex 3
Project and has a MXML file attributed to it. I opened a Flex 3
project and was able to access mx.effects - but my project is
different in that it's an ActionScript project - meaning, I opened
an ActionScript project in Flex Builder 3. Apperantly the
ActionScript projects don't have access to mx.effects.Tween. And
niether do they have access to fl.transitions.Tween. It's strange -
and I'm trying to find a way to access them by connecting the build
path to the Tween classes somehow.
My project preferences already have the fl.* folders in the
build path. It just still doesn't seem to work.

How to migrate a flex app from Flex Builder 3 to Flash Builder 4.7

Hello,
I have written an extensive application using Flex Builder 3. I have maintained the app for several years using FB3. In the mean time I have created several mobile apps using Flash Builder 4.7. So I am very familiar with the the new framework. However, my client has requested some big changes to the app. I figured this would be a great opportunity to migrate the app to FB4.7. I would like to keep the mx structure for the time being. So, are there any good documents concerning this migration path? What SDK should I use. Should I start using the Apache Flex SDK?
Thanks,
--randu

Hello Raja,
Thanks. Your reply has been very helpful.
For deploying the Flex app, as a web on NW 04S, I did the following:
- Created a web project and included the following files as web-content. These files were created using the Flex builder or in the Flex development perspective of NWDI - CE, you can find them in the "bin" folder of your Flex project.
 - AC_OETags.js
 - your-app.html
 - your-app.swf
 - history.htm
 - history.js
 - history.swf
 - playerProductInstall.swf
 - crossdomain.xml - This file is important, if our Flex app wants data from the server.
 ( I made the simplest possible crossdomain.xml containing
 <allow-access-from domain="*" secure = "false"/>
- Declare "your-app.htm" as the welcome file in web.xml
- Package, this .war after building this web project in an Enterprise application project and build it.
Now, you have the .ear made, which is deployable on your NW Web AS.
Apart from this, another thing which is important to be included in your Flex mxml code is the following:
( Thanks to Abesh for this........ )
- You have to tell the Flex app, in the action script, as to from where should the Flash engine pick the crossdomain.xml ( in case you are accessing the server for data from your app)
You might have noticed, we packaged the crossdomain.xml along with our other web content in the .war.
So mention, something like this in your action script.
Security.loadPolicyFile("http://<hostname>:<http-port>/<context-root fo your web app>/crossdomain.xml");
The code will work like a charm.
Hope this helps everyone.
Thanks guys.
Best Regards, Gagan.

Flex Builder 3 vs Flash Builder 4

Is there much difference between Flex Builder 3 and Flash Builder 4? Just that I got them both through the student online form but since FB4 is newer, should I still keep Flex in my laptop?

I found FB3 rock solid and I loved only having one name space.
FB4 is quirky to say the least.
Only reason I don't switch back to FB3 is because FB4 changed the way states are done, and that alone has saved countless hours. I love the way STATES are being handled in FB4!
CrazyMerlin, you got a url for the FB4 skin site. wow that sounded x-rated...

Install Flash Builder 4.5.x Upgrade without Flex Builder 3.x installed?

Edit: Is the lack of replies because no one knows the answer or because this was a ridiculously dumb question?
Also, if I must have a prior version physically installed to do the upgrade, can I install Flex Builder 3 on a temp Windows machine, upgrade that to Flash Builder 4.5.x and then transfer the license to the MacBook? Seems like a very convoluted way of doing things but if that's the only way then I suppose I can go scrounge up a spare computer to do so. End Edit
Hi,
I just got a brand new MacBook Air which has Lion on it.
I have an unused boxed copy of Flex Builder 3.0 standard edition.
I tried to install 3.0 and of course I got an error along the lines of not compatible.
What I would like to do is upgrade to Flash Builder 4.5.
So the question is,
Can I buy the upgrade edition of Flash Builder 4.5 standard for Mac, then install that on my MacBook even if I don't have 3.0 installed to upgrade from?
Is it as simple of just supplying the seriel number from 3.0 when upgrading?
Thanks.
Message was edited by: Cindered Monkey
Changed the title to better reflect the situation.
Also added a blurb to the top.

Well, thought I should update just in case someone else has a similar thought.
I ran out of time to wait and it seemed I wasn't going to get a response so took the chance and bought the upgrade.
The install couldn't find any prior versions so just asked for the serial for Flex Builder 3.0.
After entering that in, it thankfully installed just fine.
Would have totally sucked if it didn't work and was forced to then buy the full version.
Anyhow, relieved it worked.
Regards.

How can i use flash player's 10 features in flex builder 3?

I was able to solve my problem by modifying the solution
offered in
this
technote.
The technote identifies a permissions problem with the
components directory of non-Safari browsers. In my case the
permissions problem appears to have been in the main
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins directory. What tipped me off to the
solution was the fact that after manually removing Flash
Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt from the /Library/Internet
Plug-Ins directory, subsequent attempts to install Flash Player
resulted in the "Creating file: 1008:5, -5000 Access Denied Error"
I remembered seeing in the technote. Before removing these files,
the installer would just fail silently, perhaps because it saw
files it was going to install already living in the right place,
and furthermore had no permissions to alter the directory.
In any case, by making the permissions change recommended in
the technote to the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins directory, I was
able to install the plug-in, which gave me back access to Flash
content in all my browsers.
Hope this is helpful to someone else...

Flex Builder with a Package

I cannot find any example of successfully setting up,
building and executing an Actionscript project in Flex Builder with
the main class being in a package. I don't care if I have to create
the appropriate directory structure manually, I just want to get it
to work. Every combination of project settings I have tried fails
to generate the .swf file in the correct location for execution.
[This is NOT a double posting -- no one seems to know where
you go to get answers concerning Actionscript development under
Flex Builder.]
Thank you.

Flex Builder 4 (next version) will be called Flash Builder

Adobe has just announced that the next version of Flex Builder will be called Flash Builder .. the framework will still be called Flex
I think although the change is confusing, in the long run it adds clarity ... here's why ...
1. Flash Builder (formerly Flex Builder) is an IDE to write .SWF (Flash Player) files .... no matter what application framework you use, it could be pure AS3 code (i.e your own framework) , Flex framework or anything else .. there are many other framework options (although Flex is the most mature) ... Flash Builder can be used to build in any of those frameworks.
2. Flex is a framework of classes that solve several everyday application development problems when building apps that can run in the Flash Player ... you can use any tool to write your own classes that use flex framework classes (a flex application) ... Flash Builder (previously Flex Builder) or FDT or a text editor like TextMate.
Mrinal

Still don't like the name change...but after chatting for you on Twitter...I think I can use to it -;)
Greetings,
Blag.

Flex Builder 4 == Flash Builder 4

I've seen a ton of blogs discussing Adobe's decision to rename Flex Builder to "Flash Builder" for version 4.0, and wanted to see what you all think.
Personally I agree with many of the blog comments that it is a bad move.
Flex apps are not Flash apps (thankfully), they just happen to run in the same runtime (Flash Player). AIR apps are not Flash apps as well.
I still think Flex will succeed, but are you all looking forward to working in Flash Builder 4?
I for one hope Flex continues to succeed despite this move.

Just recently re-infuriated by this terrible decision on Adobe's part so I located this thread.
On Adobe labs they use this as the reasoning:
If you are new to the Flash Builder beta, the first thing that you’ve already noticed is that we are renaming Flex Builder to Flash Builder. This name change will create a clear distinction between the free open-source Flex framework and the commercial IDE.
So instead of developers (most of which have already learned the distinction by now after TWO versions) having to know the difference between an SDK and an IDE (what kind of idiot developers can't understand this???), now Flash designers (many more of those) and programmers also need to understand the difference between Flash Builder and Flash Professional. They aren't the same product in the least and are barely related, but Flash "newbies" won't know that from the names. Meanwhile Flex newbies will still be confused by the Flex SDK/Flash Builder mismatch.
You would think that Flex devs (many of which come from the Java world which has exactly the same concept of SDK/IDE) who are familiar with software engineering (unlike your typical Flash developer), would be able to overcome this "confusion" more easily than the much larger number of Flash devs.
So now this change is needed, to add even more confusion for everybody involved:
When Flash Builder 4 is released for purchase, the current plan is to name the full-featured edition Flash Builder 4 Premium edition. This change is being made to reduce any risk of confusion between Adobe Flash Professional and Adobe Flash Builder.
If it's already realized that you're just replacing the confusion of Flex newbies with the confusion of both Flex AND Flash newbies... why do it?
Was this some over-paid executive's knee jerk solution to an almost insignificant problem? Given that it seems almost nobody thinks this change is a good idea, perhaps they should have asked (here or elsewhere) their customers what they thought of such a change before simply announcing it and passing it off as a big marketing improvement?
But more importantly: Is it too late to reconsider this idiocy? (I can't wait till Google searches start mixing up Flash Pro and Flash Builder information making it just that much harder to find relevant links!)
If you really want to eliminate the confusion of "Flex Builder" vs "Flex SDK" for the mentally challenged, why not simply rename Flex Builder to a more creative and unique name similar to what Java has in Eclipse/JDK? Heck even calling it FX Builder would have been better than Flash Builder! The marketing dept here needs a serious wake up call IMO.

Flex Builder Linux A4 + Flash in Eclipse

I installed Flex Builder Linux A4 successfully on a machine
w/ properly working Flash 10 on Mozilla Firefox 3.01 (Iceweasel).
When I fired up Flex in Eclipse (menu: Help > Flex Start Page),
I get the error message below.
" The Flex Start Page requires the Adobe Flash Player. Please
use the installers in the Flex Builder 3/Player/ folder to install
the Adobe Flash Player into your default browser. "
I am running: Debian sid, Sun JRE1.6, Flash 10 (in
Iceweasel), Eclipse 3.4.1. Many thanks for any tips to get Fx
Builder working.

Hi,
Can you please change the web browser settings of Eclipse.
From the menu select Window -> Preference -> General ->
Web browser
here, select external web browser and select Firefox or the
browser in which you have Flash Player installed.
Hope this helps.
