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.

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...

The Blueprint Eclipse plug-in is live on Adobe Labs (for Flex Builder 3 and Flash Builder 4)

Hi all,
Last week, we posted the initial, Mac-only, Flex Builder 3-only release of the Blueprint Eclipse plug-in on Adobe Labs. Yesterday, we updated it to include support Windows and Flash Builder 4. Please try it out if you get a minute.
For more info, see the Flex Doc Team blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/flexdoc/2009/06/the_blueprint_eclipse_plugin_i.html

That's so cool.
Thanks Randy.

Unable to download Flex Builder 3.0.2 Professional Eclipse Plug-in Trial

Since yesterday I am unable to download the Flex Builder plugin for eclipse, having tried all the combinations of Language/OS available for this product, browsers and two different PCs at my home.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=flex_eclipse
Using the link above the case is always the same no matter what browser/computer. After the "Download" button is pressed the website "freezes" for about 30 seconds, then it refreshes and soon an email message arrives with the title
"Helpful links and resources for your Flex Builder 3 Professional Trial".
Furthermore when I visit a link provided in the email Getting Started - Flex 3 Getting Started - Adobe Learning Resources, all the hyperlinks such as Watch, Full Tutorial, Download Project, PHP and Java will simply redirect me to the very same page (i.e. the one provided in this sentence).
I'd appreciate any help given on this matter, thanks.

Issues migrating from Flex Builder 3 to Flash Builder 4.5

Migrating from Flex Builder 3 (SDK 3.5) to Flash Builder 4.5 (SDK 4.5). Using Flex 3 compatibility mode. Flash Player 10.2. MX only components set.
Issue 1. A DataGridColumn error per: Description Resource Path Location Type
Declaration of style 'direction' conflicts with previous declaration in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\sdks\4.5.0\frameworks\libs\mx\mx.swc(mx.controls.dataGridClasses:DataGridColumn). SPT_GUI Unknown Flex Problem
Issue 2. Using Cairngorm 2. Have a class 'Bindable] public class GuiModel implements ModelLocator'. Now getInstance() is not defined per: private var model : GuiModel = GuiModel .getInstance(). Does Cairngorm 3 have to be used with Flash Builder 4.5?
What has to be done to resolve these issues?

Issue 2: Have you defined the static variable to hold the instance of the model locator? Also, have you defined a static method to return the model locator's instance?

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.

Can you run Flex Builder 3 and Flash Builder 4 side by side?

I have what I hope is a relatively simple question. The company I work at currently has several Flex 3 projects nearing completion or in the latter part of their development phase, but we use SVN version control. It's my understanding that while you can use Flash Builder 4 to create and/or edit and publish Flex 3 projects, once you use FB4 on a version controlled project, anyone who checks that project out from SVN will need to use FB4 to edit the project. Assuming that is correct, can we have both FB3 and FB4 installed on our workstations, and switch between them depending on the projects we use? We're hoping to migrate our developers over to FB4 as they wrap up development on Flex 3 projects, but we may need developers working on Flex 4 projects to assist on the final stages of our Flex 3 apps. Just to clarify: we do not need both the FB3 and FB4 executables running at the same time, just the ability to close FB4 and launch FB3 and vice-versa without having error or compile issues. We use the standalone FB installs, not the Eclipse plug-ins, btw.

Yes - to my knowledge, you can have FB3 and FB4 installed on the same machine without conflicts.
Each version uses a separate default workspace, so provided that you don't try to share workspaces between the two versions, you should be safe.

FlexPMD view always empty (Flex Builder 4.5.1 in Eclipse 3.6.2 on 32bit WinXP)

I've installed the v1.2 all in one .zip and configured it as per http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexpmd/FlexPMD+Eclipse+plugin after installing the plugin itself some time ago (back in v1.1 days). No updates are show right now as pending and the update site is enabled.
Although the CPD detector runs OK, when I right click a source folder and choose 'Run FlexPMD', the Flex PMD view remains empty. The PMD builder is enabled for the project too, no joy.
The eror log doesn't have anthing relevent, just :
eclipse.buildId=M20110210-1200
java.version=1.6.0_26
java.vendor=Oracle Corporation
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=en_GB

Any hints ?

Try changing the "Java command line" in the FlexPMD preferences to change the location of the temp folder to somewhere FlashBuilder has permissions... This can be done by including the -Djava.io.tmpdir="
C:\Documents and Settings\{user}\Application Data\Temp" or a similar directory.

Flex Builder for Linux will need his companion Thermo

I’ve been developing in Flex for a long time now. My
main work is in the design area although I do a lot of coding. The
Flex Builder Linux testing is being quite difficult, since the
layout design view is not enabled yet. So we need a lot of
imagination and a little bit of experience in AS3 and MXML tag
codding.
As a designer (and developer  ) I would like to ask
for a Thermo for Linux. It’s just a request, but I think
there are a lot of guys that share my opinion.
Thanks,

Hi, thanks for your answer.
It turned out the problem was related to the *standalone* flashplayer.
This is located in linux in:
FLEX_BUILDER_INSTALL_PREFIX/Player/linux
when I was clicking on the "Run" button Flex Builder was looking for a flashplayer standalone app, and was failing to find it.
What I had to do was to add the complete the flashplayer path to the PATH used by eclipse.
Now clicking on "Run" it compiles the application and launches the standalone player with the generated swf file.
Now I wonder if there is some way to select the flashplayer to launch, and if it is possible to configure eclipse to make it launch a browser or a custom script rather than execute that swf with the standalone player.
Thanks, regards.

Suggestions for Flex Builder for Linux

I'm new to Flex, and I have to say that I'm enjoying it quite
a lot. I think the thing that really helps speed up development is
good tools. Flex Builder 3 for Linux makes a good start at
providing a very nice development tool, but there are a couple of
things I'd like to see different with this tool.
First off, please give me an update site to use to install
Flex Builder. I use Red Hat Developer Studio (soon to be JBoss
Developer Studio, Eclipse 3.2 based), and I can't get FB 3 Alpha
for Linux to install into it. I have been successful with base
Eclipse Europa and FB 3, but I'd like to have my IDE tools in one
frame. An update site would let me add FB 3 into any Eclipse flavor
I choose, as long as it supported the appropriate components.
Next, Design mode for FB 3 is a must. I am very functional
with the content assist features in the source editor (and they are
_quite_ good, I must say), but design view really helps me preview
changes quickly and rapidly test out UI designs. Much faster than
writing and launching over and over.
Otherwise, great work, and please get out a new release
soon!

Getting started with Flex Builder, BlazeDS and Eclipse

Hi,
I'm a java developer looking at RIA for the first time. I'm really excited about BlazeDS and object remoting, but I can't get a working dev environment together. I'm assuming I should use Flex Builder for the client code, Eclipse Europa for the java webapp code, and deploy from both IDEs into the BlazeDS-equipped turnkey-Tomcat. I haven't found a tutorial explaining how to deploy a new webapp with this setup.
The turnkey-Tomcat sample app works fine. Trouble starts when I try to create a new project in Flex Builder. I don't understand the 'debug' deployment that Flex Builder does. Why are there 2 versions of my app, the regular and the debug versions? What is exactly the project structure that I'm supposed to have in Tomcat?
The specific error I encounter when trying to deploy a new Flex project is this:
[MessagingError message='Destination 'productService' either does not exist or the destination has no channels defined (and the application does not define any default channels.)']
I do have a default channel configured for my environment in services-config:
And I do have a valid destination configured in remoting-config (I'm mostly interested in object remoting):
test.ProductService
Here's the client code:
What am I doing wrong? Where can I get help on these specific topics? Also, does anyone have an Ant build file that would automate this sort of deployment?
Thanks!

Hi Peter, I don't have problems passing JavaBeans to Flex. For collections, I used DataGrid, it displayed my collection seamlessly, except I don't get column headers, just a column index number. For receiving a single JavaBean, I had a little more trouble, until I tried to display it with a DataGrid: it displayed a single row that represented my data, with each java property name used as a column header, and object attributes were displayed as 'object'. These 2 experiences led me to these conclusions: - for the collection, Flex converted each element into an ordered list of attributes - for the single bean, Flex converted it into a hierarchy of Maps of attributes I didn't create a Flex value object. Flex is doing it automatically,very much like in JavaScript/JSON: dynamic objects. Here's the remote object markup:  <mx:RemoteObject id="myRemoteObject" destination="productService" fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString, 'Error');"> <mx:method name="getProductsCount" result="setProductsCount(event)"> <mx:arguments> <arg1>{productSC}</arg1> </mx:arguments> </mx:method> <mx:method name="getProducts">  <mx:arguments> <arg1>{productSC}</arg1>  <arg2>{pager.pageSize}</arg2> <arg3>{pager.currentPage}</arg3> </mx:arguments> </mx:method> <mx:method name="getProduct" result="goToView()">  <mx:arguments> <arg1>{selectedRecordId}</arg1> </mx:arguments> </mx:method> </mx:RemoteObject> And here's the dataGrid that displays the bean collection: <mx:DataGrid id="myDataGrid" dataProvider="{myRemoteObject.getProducts.lastResult}" change="selectRecord();" width="100%" height="100%" > </mx:DataGrid> Let me know how it goes, I'd be glad to assist if I can.

Can't install Flex Builder 2 plugin in Eclipse 3.3/Europa

[I hope Adobe reads these forums. I tried to submit this as a
customer service request, but the customer service request form
kept telling my I had to enter my First Name, Last Name, and Email
address, even though I _had_ entered them!]
I can't seem to install the Flex Builder 2 plugin in Eclipse
3.3/Europa. I had it installed fine in 3.2/Callisto. I uninstalled
it from there, installed Europa, then tried to install the plugin.
After I selected the Eclipse folder, I got the error:
"Please choose an existing Eclipse folder (3.1 or greater) to
be updated. This folder must contain eclipse.exe and the standard
folder named "configuration"."
All three conditions (3.1 or greater, eclipse.exe and
configuration) hold in my case, so I don't know what the real
problem is.

Actually it's quite simple. But you have to be warned. This
doesn't guarantee a bug free Eclipse setup and it isn't supported
by Adobe in any way. It is how-ever your only shot at getting
Eclipse with Flex Builder 2 AND php-development support, as Zend
has stopped deploying the php-development-requirement for Eclipse
3.2 (or at least I haven't found it in their archives.)
Flex Builder 2 simply checks for some files to see if the
directory you want to install to exist, so it recognizes the
directory as an Eclipse 3.1+ directory. Eclipse 3.3 however misses
the file startup.jar. If you simply copy startup.jar from an
Eclipse 3.2 directory into the 3.3 directory, Flex Builder 2 will
install in the 3.3 directory.
Again. This is not supported in any way by Adobe.
For more info, Google on: eclipse-3.3 Flex-builder-2
startup.jar
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=eclipse-3.3+Flex-builder-2+startup.jar
Kind regards.
PS. I would still like to have an Adobe Representative answer
the simple question: Is Adobe or is Adobe not working on getting
Flex Builder 2 to work on Eclipse 3.3? A simple yes or no will
suffice.
