Flex builder with AS3 project

Hi,
I am developing a Flash game using as3, I chose flex Builder with an AS3 project. Now I am thinking that if selecting the project to be a flex project instead of as3 project I would have a lot of flex functionality like a swf loader,preloaders and the popup manager etc. The graphic components would obviously have been made in flash and used through the swc (avoiding the heavy mxml components).
Need to know what other developers think of this approach.

You must include in library:
${FRAMEWORKS}/locale/{locale}

  • 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.

  • Flex Builder 3 New Project

    I am trying to get Flex Builder 3 setup but having some
    problems configuring it to communicate with the app server. I had
    this working once but cannot get it back. Flex builder is installed
    on my XP machine and CF is installed on my Redhat 5 box with
    Apache.
    Here are my steps:
    1. Create new flex project
    2. Project Name: myfirstflex.
    3. Project location: N:\myfirstflex (mapped to samba share)
    This is actually /var/www/html/myfirstflex on the RH box.
    4. Application Type: Web Application(runs in Flash Player)
    5. Server Technology: Coldfusion. Use remote access service
    is checked. LCDS is selected at the moment but does not seem to
    matter which one is selected.
    6. Server Location: Standalone
    7. Coldfusion Root Folder: O:\WEB-INF\flex (samba share on RH
    box) This is actually /opt/coldfusion8/wwwroot/WEB-INF/flex.
    8. WebRoot: N:\myfirstflex (same as step 3)
    9. Root URL:
    http://myserver/myfirstflex
    Upon on validation I get " Invalid root. The WEB-INF/flex
    folder must contain either flex-config.xml or services-config.xml."
    Like I said I had this working once but cannot get it back. Does
    anyone see something I am overlooking?

    I'd love to help because I know how frustrating it is to get
    it working. Unfortunately, I run CF locally and IIS as the web
    server. However, maybe my settings will spark something that you
    can use:
    1
    2. myFirstFlex
    3. C:\Documents and Settings\[useraccount]My
    Documents\myFirstFlex
    4. Web application/
    5. Coldfusion/ColdFusion Remoting
    6. Standalone
    7. c:\coldfusion8
    8. c:\inetpub\wwwroot
    9.
    http://localhost/
    is what works for me

  • How to use Flex builder with blazeds and JBoss

    Following the instructions it is pretty easy to set up a project to work with the turnkey tomcat. However, I am having problems with JBoss because the app has to be deployed as a .war file. I can create a war file manually and depoly it no problem. How do I get flex builder to deploy to a war file? I want to be able to debug in flex builder and run at the click of a button.

    Hi,<br /> I am trying to configure BlazeDS with JBOSS Application Server.<br /> I have downloaded BlazeDS binary version - blazeds_bin_3-0-0-544.zip from Adobe. But in the installation steps, it says that copy blazeds.war, samples.war and console.war into <JBOSS_HOME>/server/default/deploy folder. But in this zip, it contains only blazeds.war file only. I have copied it to <JBOSS_HOME>/server/default/deploy folder.<br /><br />I have restarted JBoss. I didn't get any error. But when i give <br /> http://localhost:8080/blazeds ... i am always getting "Page not found 404" error.<br /><br />Please help me, if you have detailed steps to configure BlazeDS on JBoss.<br /><br />Thanks for your time.

  • Installing Flex Builder with MyEclipse

    I am trying to get Flex Builder to install a plugin for
    eclipse. I have read that the installer is having an issue seeing
    the configuration directory, and there is certainly something wrong
    with my install. The only solution I found online says that I would
    need to, FIRST install eclipse 3.3.1, SECOND install flex and THIRD
    install MyEclipse.
    Well, I'm more then a little disturbed by this as I've
    already got my IDE setup and working just the way I want it, and
    really I'm just testing the capabilities of Flex for the "powers
    that be". If it is a good tool, we will use it. But if this failure
    to install is a precursor of things to come I'm going to have to
    shoot it down since I'm the one whose got to use it.
    Any suggestions? Perhaps there is some other support for flex
    as well?
    Thanks,
    -Robert

    Hi
    Thank you for providing this workaround.

  • Issues with AS3 Project

    Not sure if anyone can help however I came across a tutorial
    by Lee Brenmlow titled 'Advanced After Effects and Flash' at
    www.gotoandlearn. The tutorial is great however I get an error when
    I test my movie and I think it is something to do with the tweener
    class Lee touches on breifly. I have looked at some other tutorials
    where tweener is used but I am still not any wiser if I have
    installed it correctly, placed in the right directory etc. The
    error I get when testing the movie is
    '## [Tweener] Error: The property '_frame' doesn't seem to be
    a normal object property of [object movie_1] or a registered
    special property.'
    Hope someone can show me the error of my ways and provide the
    solution to get this working
    Kind regards
    David

    Ah, _frame is a special property, added by Tweener. But that
    probably changed in an upgrade of the package, so add the following
    lines and you're ok.
    import caurina.transitions.properties.DisplayShortcuts;
    DisplayShortcuts.init();

  • AS3 Project in Flash Builder

    Hi I am an experienced AS3 developer working on a Mac, been working in the CS4 IDE and using Textmate for html, PHP etc. I am very keen to use Flash Builder IDE to build my AS3 projects. I have been able to create actionscript projects but when I try to incorporate FLA and the library assets in FLAs I get stuck.The way I want to work is to use CS4  for creating graphics, timeline animation, so when I run the project it compiles the fla and scripts as if I was in CS4 ide.
    So my question: Is there any good tutorials or sites that can guide me thru setting up an Actionscript project in Flash Builder and manipulation of stage, timeline and library assets from an FLA?

    Firstly flashbuilder doesn't use a timeline, it can use assets in a CS4 compiled flash file, but knows nothing about the fla format. A good starting point would probably be to down load the tour deflex which has a lot of  flex examples with the source.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/tourdeflex/
    there is also the cookbook page
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/logged_in/esullivan_cookbook_20.html
    this is a great site for resources when you run into problems
    http://blog.flexexamples.com/
    Adobe also have a lot of video tutorials which are great to get an idea of just how Builder works.

  • 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.

  • Flash Player 10 and Flex Builder 2

    I need to have flash player 10 installed on my local machine for my time tracking software.  With that I am no longer able to run my flex builder in debug mode.  I am no longer able to see any of my trace() statements executed.
    Is there any way to have Flex Bulder 2 run with Flash Player 10 in debug mode?

    Try targetting the flash player 10 in your project setting.
    Sincerely,
    Michael

    You may need to install Flash Player 9.0 or reinstall Flex Builder. 
    Do you want to try to run your application with the current version?

  • Flex Builder 3 Issues

    I apologize in advance for my cynicism, but since I received
    cricket sounds from Adobe Support I figured I would give this a go.
    I downloaded and installed the trial version of Flex Builder 3, but
    when trying to click on any of the links in the start page
    (tutorials, etc..) it displays the following error: Windows - No
    Disk
    Then it requires me to kill both the FlexBuilder.exe and the
    associated javaw.exe using task manager to get rid of the error. I
    found a similar issue in the knowledge base, but it was for people
    who installed from a DVD on Vista.
    I installed to the default location on XP SP2, with all the
    latest patches. I've un-installed/reinstalled like the knowledge
    base entry states as the solution, but to no avail.
    If anyone can provide insight or a solution, I would
    appreciate it!
    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    I am not sure if this would work but worth a try.
    1. Try to launch your flex builder with -clean. (Using
    Command line)
    Go to Program Files-> Adobe->Flex Builder 3
    Run Flexbuilder.exe -clean
    Also if it doesn't work try reinstall but after uninstalling
    make sure Program Files-> Adobe->Flex Builder 3 is empty.
    Also please log a bug at

  • Extending Flex Builder - eclipse plugin

    I'm trying to find out more about writing Eclipse Plugins
    that extend Flex Builder.
    I've taken a look at the 'Adobe Flex Builder 3 Extensibility'
    section of the Flex Builder help files and didn't find them that
    helpful.
    For example, at the moment I'm trying to get my new Eclipse
    command to call the adt binary file in the user's chosen default
    Flex SDK. So some immediate questions arise:
    1) Which Flex or Eclipse class contains the filesystem
    reference to the user's default Flex sdk so that I can call 'adt'
    with user entered parameters?
    2) Are there any tutorials or resources on extending Flex
    Builder with custom Eclipse plugins apart from the limited Adobe
    documentation?

    Jason,
    Yes you still need to purchase - you can install the product
    as a full install, or as an eclipse plug in. Trying the 30 day
    trial for getting your feet wet is the only option currently. Take
    advantage of free training from total training:

  • Tutorial for creating a J2EE project with "Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 " ?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to set up a Flex environment with:
    Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 stand alone
    WTP (from eclipse update manager)
    LCDS 2.5 (with JRun)
    JBoss 4.2.2GA
    At this moment I successful installed everything (but not set up). I added WTP at Flex Builder3 (with the eclipse update manager). I copied the two flex-tomcat files in jboss.
    Then in Flex Builder 3 I created a new Flex Project. In the wizard first window, I selected J2EE, Livecycle and WTP. Then in the next window I need to configurate the J2EE server.
    I couldn't find any information/tutorial for this window? Is there a tutorial for this?
    This window ask me:
    Target Runtime: I created a new one for JBoss 4.2.2 (during this process flex builder asked me to add a project but actually I'm creating this project so I hadn't any project to add (??)).
    ContextRoot: name of the project I'm creating (default). Is it good?
    Content Folder: the default is "WebContent". Is it good?
    Flex War File: What is that? Where do I find it?
    Thanks a lot,
    Jerome

    The settings you mention all sound fine, but the I believe the Flex War file may be what you referred to as the flex-tomcat files (specifically the one should be called flex.war from the install folder).
    You don't need to deploy the flex.war file to JBoss manually, when you create a project, you just select the file in the wizard and it is extracted and used as a template for the new project. In fact, it may cause a port conflict with your project if you do deploy manually it (unless you tweak some of the config files), so it's probably worth removing it from the deploy folder if you did put it there. The other file, flex-admin.war, can stay without causing issue.
    The closest to a tutorial that I am aware of is if you search "New Flex Project" in the help system, it talks about what each of the options should be when creating LCDS projects.

  • How can I create an executable with Flex Builder 3?

    I'm working with Flex Builder 3 right now and I've run my
    head into a brick wall. Here's the situation:
    I'm creating a standalone application (runs in its own
    window, not in a web page) and I want to run it on a computer that
    does not have Flex Builder 3 installed. Help files and web searches
    haven't directed me to the right answer, so I was hoping that
    someone on this forum could help. Anyone know how to create a .exe
    file or something else that can be run outside of Flex Builder?
    Thanks a lot for any help!

    Thanks Rob,
    This may be what I'm looking for, but I don't know enough
    about the difference. I guess I should have pointed out that I'm a
    complete Flex Novice!
    Anyway, with Flex Builder, I created an MXML Application. I
    went through all my various options again in Flex Builder and found
    that under the project menu, I could export a release build in what
    appears to be the format you mentioned. I managed to create a .air
    file, but it is not a recognized file type on my computer. I tried
    double clicking it and the built-in windows services couldn't even
    find a possible way to run it. Am I missing some important step?
    Thanks again.
