Flex Project ; Compile Locally

When I set up a Flex project in Flex Buiilder 2 , and select
Flex Data Services, Compile Application locally in Flex Builder ,
then select root folder, root URL and context root, the application
fails to compile locally . I get an error in the problems section
stating , "Unexpected attribute 'url' found in 'endpoint' from
file: services-config.xml" . I am using LiveCycle Data Services ES.
Anyone having the same issue ? My co-worker was able to do a
similar set-up successfully using FDS2 , so I'm wondering if there
is an issue with LCDS ?
Thanks, Steve

sjlib,
I was able to resolve my same error by updating the Flex SDK
2. I found some information to do this here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=72&catid=640&threadid =1253123&highlight_key=y&keyword1=flex%20Builder
I followed the directions posted on 03/29/2007 by
"nodogbite".
After updating the Flex SDK, I removed my projects from the
workspace & the J2EE DIR and rebuilt them from the source path.
After doing this I no longer got the "Unexpected attribute 'url'
found in 'endpoint' from file: services-config.xml" when I
recompiled.
I hope this helps, good luck!

Security settings - Navigating flex projects locally

I have created a navigation-project that consist of links to
my other projects. This is meant for my own use and my own machine.
Running it on IE gives me a 'SecurityError: Error #2148 -
Navigator.swf cannot access local resource'
Reading about Flex / Flash security gives me headaches so I`m
wondering if anyone can give me a SIMPLE recipe for setting this up
to work.

You need to make this an AIR app. Flex cannot acces local
hard drive, AIR (written in Flex is okay), can access local hard
drive.

I want to allow my local Flex projects to communicate with remote cfcs

I want to allow my local Flex projects to communicate with remote cfcs that are hosted on an external server.
For example I usually develop my flex apps locally and upload them to a server for testing. If could do the above I could have just have one database to test and run live data.
How to I set up my services-config.xml to do this. Is this something I should set up in Flex builder?

You can set up your project in flex builder to connect to the remote server instead of the local one. Also, you could add remote database as a datasource in the cold fusion administrator for the localhost; this would allow you to have single database for testing and production. Personally i like to have my localhost mirroring the production server this allows me to test localy and make sure that everything is working properly before publishing to the live server.

Where does flex builder keep refererences to the flex projects?

Where does flex builder keep refererences to the flex projects?
I'm getting an error like this on FB3 startup:
The folder PR System Intranet does not exist in the workspace so the reference must be somewhere else.

Compile locally FDS application Problem

Hi,
I created a flex project with FDS enabled and "Compile
application locally in Flex Builder" enabled with the following:
My root folder is
C:\LOCALAPP\Specific\FDS_2\jrun4\servers\default\samples
My root URL is
http://localhost:8700/samples
My project name is LocalPortfolio
My main application file is portfoliojms.mxml
When I access the main page
http://localhost:8700/samples/LocalPortfolio/portfoliojms.html
it seems that I can't access the following:
C:\LOCALAPP\Specific\FDS_2\jrun4\servers\default\samples\WEB-INF
All the configuration files in WEB-INF\flex are not read
(license.properties, etc)
I don't have the problem when compiling on the server.
Is it a configuration problem?
THanks
Olivier

context-root was not set in my configuration file

Can't importing a Flex project within a Java project

Hello,
I am taking over an existing project from a vendor that is no longer involved that has a two Flex projects inside of the Java project. I am using the Flash Builder plugin inside Eclipse. I have checked out the Java project locally and brought it into Eclipse and it builds perfectly. My issue is in getting Flash Builder to recognize or import the two Flex projects within. I have tried various methods of adding or importing the Flex project into my workspace but they all break the file structure in one way or another and thus make it impossible to compile in the structure that was set up. It looks like Flex was set up to build into the webapp/flash/projectname/build folder. No matter what I do Flash Builder creates other output folders or project folders. I have tried add project type, import and new. The original .project and .actionScriptProperties files are there but Flash builder seems to ignore them and create new ones elsewhere.
The file structure looks like this:
javaproject
     src
          main
               Flex
                    flexprojectone
                    flexprojecttwo
               java
               resources
               webapp
                    flash
                         flexprojectone
                              build
                         flexprojecttwo
                              build
                    internal
                    lib
                    themes
                    WEB-INF
Thank you

Difference between compiling locally and on the server with FDS

Hi,
I am doing soming very basic testing with remote Java objects
and I am finding that if I create a FDS project and compile on the
server the code runs, if I create a FDS project and compile locally
it gives me the following error :
[RPC Fault faultString="Send failed"
faultCode="Client.Error.MessageSend"
faultDetail="Channel.Connect.Failed error
NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed"]
what gives?
The compiler in Flex Builder string is :
-services "C:\Archivos de programa\Apache Software
Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\webapps\flex\WEB-INF\flex\services-config.xml" -locale en_US
Any insights?
David

Is there a way of working collaboratively on a flex project with a small project group?

Is there a way of working collaboratively on a flex project with a small project group?
I am part of a small group of developers who wish to work on a single flex project together. Is there a way to set up flex so that the project can be developed by multiple people at the same time. I have seen one thread out on the internet about working locally and then uploading to SVn but this is not an option in this case.
Any ideas.
Many thanks in advance
Dave

I would say that rushing into development without a source-control system will cost you more in the long-run. If your organisation is serious about developing software it then it needs to invest in the necesary infrastructure, so you should get that process kicked-off as soon as possible.
In the interim you could set-up a source control server on one developer's machine or commandeer a spare machine to use as a temporary source control server. Just make sure you have it backed-up regularly. Or you could use one of the online source control services; many will support private repositories for a small fee.

FLEX Builder Pro 3 New Flex Project cannot configure J2EE

I have FLEX Builder Pro 3 installed on a Windows XP machine. LiveCycle Data Services is installed (with Tomcat) on a Linux RHEL 5 machine. When trying to create a new FLEX project and configuring a J2EE server am very confused on what to put in Root Folder and Root URL. I have tried various paths on the Root Folder (with a drive mapped through windows and also with just using the servername) and keep getting the error message:
Invalid root. The WEB-INF/flex folder must contain either flex-config.xml or services-config.xml.
I've located the flex-confing file in the tomcat5\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF directory, but still get the error.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are your new classes referenced from the old code? Mxmlc employs a questionable form of "as-needed" linking, so classes that are not referenced from the main application are not even compiled. This referencing requirement is recursive; that is, any classes that are to be included have to be referenced from the main application, or from classes referenced by the main application, or from classes referenced by classes referenced by the main application, and so on. But if your new classes are not referenced at all from the old code, they will be ignored.

Can flex 2 have local data persistence?

Guys, I am just checking RIA development environments. I am
aware the flash has local shared objects as a way of storing data
on a local machine. Is this available in Flex 2? It is essential
for the appication I wish to write. Any help welcome.
Best
Steve

Tracy,
OK that is extremely useful, we do a lot of MD5 already. If I
may, could I pick your brains for another issue I am grappling with
on this potential flex project? Is there any way a flex component
could be built that was associated with a particular file type. So
that whenever such a file type was offered from an HTML page, this
component automatically processed it? This would be a parameter
file that the other parts of flex application would utilise.
Very Best
Steve

Flex Project Management

Hi,
I am planning to build a flex project with a small group of people. So, I am thinking to have one main project to load all the component (SWF) in swf loader, so that I can have the component to be distributed to everyone. Here I want to ask:
1. Besides local connection, what is the other best, fastest, and most stable way to have the main application to communicate with child application loaded via swf loader?
2. As each person may working on their own part, how to set up the project so that they can easily debug their part with the main application during the development?
3. The project will be deploy in both Air and web format. How to share the code base for both development so that we are easier to grow and maintain the app?
Thanks. Please advise if you have better way for group development.

take a look at the first part of this video where he talks about different architectures
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/max-2010-develop/flexactionscript-30-architecture-and-dependency -injection-frameworks-overview/
you also might find this useful. Some example case studies for web/mobile apps, the same principle could be applied to web/desktop apps

Shifting Flex project from Flex SDK 3.5 to Flex SDK 4.0

Hi,
I am currently working on a Flex project using Flex 3.5 SDK. I want to shift my project to Flex 4.0 SDK.
When I changed the project settings to use SDK 4.0, I got lot of unknown location errors.
1) 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: ImportExportConfiguration
2) 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method setSelection through a reference with static type mx.core.ITextInput
While the same code of flex was working satisfactorily in Flex SDK 3.5.
Please tell, how can I get rid of these error and successfully shift my project to Flex SDK 4.0.

Hi,
While I am migrating my project from flex 3.5 to Flex 4, I have to keep the Flex 3 compatibility mode off and theme as Flex 4 default theme that is Spark.

What is the resolution for these, as for most of the controls there is no substitute to these properties. If I do not want ot change my <mx:> controls to <s:>controls because it will hamper my UI look and field, which I cannot afford to do.
I have added following lines at the beginning of my stylesheet (*.CSS) as well:
     @namespace "http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
    @namespace "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";
    @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
     Button { .... }
     ........ / * other styles */
Please help me on this.

Flex files in Non-Flex Project

I use Eclipse for developing in Java. I have been trying out
the Flex 3 (public beta) plugin for Eclipse. I can create a new
Flex project and all of the Flex files compile and work correctly.
But how do I add Flex files to an existing project (non Flex
project) I already have created and setup it up so the Flex files
(.mxml, etc..) will be compiled and built correctly.
Thank you
