Flex SDK with Eclipse

Hello,
I am quite new in Flex and Eclipse, but I would like to start my journey. So at the beginning I have to have a software to create my projects. I decided to make it in Eclipse SDK with Flex SDK. But I have no idea how can I install Flex SDK in Eclipse. I mean I would like to be able pree new and then Flex application. Something like this in this movie: http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/media/flexapp/
So can someone help me??

The Flex 2 plugin for Eclipse does not work with Eclipse
3.3.x - you need 3.2.x. Download the Flex 3 Beta from Adobe labs
and that will work with Eclipse 3.3.x
You can use a Flex 2 SDK with the Flex Builder 3 plugin -
each Flex 3 project can select its own Flex SDK. Plus you can help
us test Flex 3, including the Profiler tool.

How to install open source Flex SDK in Eclipse 3.3 ?

Iam currently workin on UBUNTU 10.04 OS
I have downloaded flex_sdk_4.1.0.16076.zip
How to install open source Flex SDK in Eclipse 3.3 ?
Thanks in advance,
Jai.

Hi Jai!
I'm not sure about this information because the last time I have used the flash builder into a linux machine was in 2007, but check this out:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/flexbuilder_linux/
It says you will need to use SDK from the command line to build flex application.

Distributing the Flex SDK with another application

Hi,
I understand that the Flex 2 SDK is a free download from
Adobe, but am I also allowed to redistribute it?
For example, if I write a program where I need to generate
swfs dynamically, can I distribute the Flex SDK with the program,
so that all I need to do is generate SWF files and invoke the
mxmlc?
Thanks,
Roy

The name of the self-signed cert that is generated in the "Create the APK package file" step is sampleCert.pfx, but the name of the file in the next step is sampleCert.p12. This should be fixed.

How to setup Flex SDK with latest AIR SDK?

Now the latest AIRSDK web page has a small link at the bottom for Flex users and it states that Flex users should take the SDK version without the compiler. BUT....
the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html page says to download the SDK from
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/asc2.html
but this page now redirects to:
http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html
which contains a large list of archived SDK's. So that help page never really says which version of the SDK to use - with or without the compiler. But other forum posts have implied its suppose to be the one with the compiler.
Now since we're overlaying the ...plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722\AIRSDK folder that would make sense.
But now there's a second overlay instructions page at:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/how-overlay-air-sdk-flex-sdk.html
with different instructions.
So my questions are:
   Which overlay instructions are we really suppose to use?
   Which version of the AIR SDK (with or with-out compiler) are we suppose to use?
   What does the Flex Library Project properties -> Flex Library Compiler -> 'Include Adobe AIR libraries' checkbox really do?
        If I've followed the (first) overlay instructions above, does this checkbox now mean I'm using the overlaid AIR SDK 3.6
        with the current Flex SDK I've chosen?
        What if I'm using the Apache Flex 4.9.1 SDK? Will the AIR SDK 3.6 overlay that?
            (Doesn't Apache Flex have AIR 3.4 embedded - will this confuse Flash Builder 4.7 ?)
Is it just me, or is this just getting more and more confusing? Can we perhaps get a AIR SDK combo box to go beside the Flex combo box and when we check the 'Include Adobe AIR libraries' then we can select the AIR SDK we want? And get a 'configure AIR SDKs...' link too? Then perhaps we can get completely away from overlays and all this merged SDK nonsense. I've had nothing but problems with it.
The real reason I need all this info is because I'm trying to use Flash Builder 4.7 to build an Android ANE and I'm having a devil of a time just trying to find my resources. When I use context.getResourceID() I'm not getting the correct resources - and after reviewing other posts here I came to the conclusion that it might be due to bugs in older AIR SDK's. So really, at the moment I could care less about the latest Flex SDK, I just need to know I'm working from the latest AIR SDK.
Thanks in advance.

If you are not using Flash Builder go here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html
At the bottom it says:
Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler. Mac Windows.
Download the proper one for your OS and then extract it over your existing Flex SDK directory.
EDIT: Just read your post again and noticed you mentioned Flash Builder. In that case you want to follow these directions: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html and grab the version with the compiler at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html

Flex SDK with createRectangleTexture() ?

Sorry if this is entirely the wrong forum for this question, but I'm stumped...
I see there's a Context3D function called createRectangleTexture(), which I'd like to try using. I'm creating a Flash app using AS3 and C++, via FlasCC. Currently am using the Flex 4.6 SDK; alas, this does not seem to include a sufficiently recent version of Context3D, and so of course compilation fails when I try to use this function. The documentation suggests this is in AIR 3.6; however, the docs for Flex tell me to not overlay a newer version of AIR onto the Flex SDK (and at this point, I cannot even tell if AIR 3.6 actually provides createRectangleTexture()).
Any help/pointers/suggestions in regard to this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Installing Flex 4 SDK on Eclipse IDE

Hi,
I want to use Eclipse IDE with Flex 4 SDK but am unable to do so. I have looked at various blog posts & threads dealing with the same, most of them are obsolete(in the sense posted way back in 2005/07 with very old Eclipse releases) or I am not getting the desired results.
The links I have referred to are below-

http://www.roseindia.net/flex/compiling_flex_on_eclipse.shtml
http://blog.wezside.co.za/2008/01/complete-starter-guide-to-develop-flash.html
I have tried the trial of Adobe Flex Builder & it was really a painless job to get going. But right now I cannot afford a license of the same so I am looking at open source alternatives.
Can anyone help the newbies like me by giving a brief walkthrough regarding installing Flex SDK on Eclipse, it would be of great help.
Thanks in advance,
Raghav

I was disappointed with the kind of response from a forum like this to an amateur like me.
I found a way around, decided not to use Eclipse at all with Flex SDK. Instead I am using Flash Develop which is a free IDE specific for Flash & Flex and integrating Flex SDK is pretty easy in that. Provided a very good feature set for a free software. Anyone stuck with this problem I suggest to go ahead with FlashDevelop instead of trying to figure out Eclipse. It is available for download here

Hi Swapnil,
1)Try Overlaying SDK to 2.0 like:
                 a)Download the AIR SDK 2.0 zip
                 b)and paste it at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0 and
                 c)extract it.Check whether this SDK selected in Flex Compiler.
2) Make sure that you have changed the AIR version number in descripter file (-app.xml) for example <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5"> here have to change 1.5 to 2.0.
3) In the Flex Compiler panel check that which Flex SDK (3.5) has been selected. Might it different from defaultly selected.
In Flex Builder you can check in two ways :
          a)Window>Preferences>Flex>Installed SDKs(Default)>Check SDK selected.
          b)Select Project folder in Navigator Panel and Mouse Right click >properties>Flex Compiler>Check SDK selected.
4)Make sure that the opening files have accessibility with this function.

Can we use Flash Player 11 abilities through Flex SDK 4.5.1?

Hi All
As you know BitmapData has some limitation for image size and resolution in Flash Player 10 (maximum resolution is 8192) and for Flash Player version 11 and later, Adobe fixed this limitation and depends on OS we can have all type of huge resolutions in BitmapData.
But my problem is now I'm using Flex SDK 4.5.1 which base Flash Player is 10.2.159.1.
So is there any possibility to use this benefit of Flash Player 11 with my current Flex SDK with implementing a restriction based on Flash version with something like Capabilities.version or not?
Thanks in advance

Tanx, But I must keep my current version of Flash Player and I'm not able to change swf-version or target-player through compiler settings arguments or etc... I just need these feature for BitmapData.
Can I use something like this to check if my object has new methods of Flash Player or not:
if(myInstance.hasOwnProperty("newMethodInFlashEleven")) myInstance[newMethodInFlashEleven]();
Is there any new method for BitmpaData class in Flash player 11, to check it based on that?!

CS4 XMP SDK - Can't get it to work with Eclipse IDE

I've been trying to use the CS4 XMP (FileInfo) SDK with the Eclipse IDE, as described in the docs, but there must be a missing step in the documentation because I have added the Ant Plugin and the XMP plugin (jar) but there is no "XMP / Custom Panel" project option showing in Eclipse.
Has anyone got this to work? Does it require a specific (i.e. not the latest Ganymede) version of Eclipse?

Hi Fred,
Unfortunately I do not have Flex Builder (it is pay-for software). The XMP FileInfo SDK Programmer's Guide says there are three options:
1. Adobe Flex Builder
2. Eclipse IDE with Flex-Builder plug-in
3. Flex SDK
I've been trying number 2 (Eclipse IDE) as I am familiar with Eclipse and the plugin is included with the SDK, but it doesn't work so I guess the documentation is missing a few steps.
Thanks
James.

Using Eclipse project definitions to build the Flex SDK

It would be great if someone from Adobe could post on the recommended usage of the Eclipse project definitions in the development/eclipse/ subdirectory of the 3.0.x trunk distribution. I would like to debug some compiler modifications that I am working on.
I saw Peter Farland demo this setup at 360Flex, but was unable to capture all the details of the Eclipse configuration that he discussed in his talk.
thanks!

If you go to the framework project’s properties, there is a section called Flex Library Compiler, you want to use a specific flex sdk (add a new sdk which points to the trunk, and use that) — you are probably building /against/ the wrong sdk, right code, wrong compiler.

Try changing the sdk for the framework lib project to trunk (you'll need to add a new flex sdk, name it whatever you want) -- it's in the project properties. It's using the wrong compiler.

I am running FB on top of Eclipse 3.3.2.
<http://3.3.2.> <
<http://3.3.2.>
http://3.3.2.> I checked out the whole SDK trunk and can build the main ant task with no errors. I used the instructions mentioned above to create a Flex framework library project and thats where the error comes in. (I had tried to manually build a framework project a few times and it was a nightmare.) I would probably prefer to work on the 3.0.x branch/tag as I hope to submit a patch or two but saw Joe mention that the project defs only existed in the trunk.
Searching Google for the oem error turns up lots of links about projects that had assets deleted and the build got confused but following the instructions on how to fix proved unsuccessful.
Thanks,

I always forget what that error means when it comes up -- though it's been ages since I've seen it last, literally.
Joe: Since you mention Java 1.5, I'm guessing the errors are in the asdoc package? Those should be turned off (read: turned into a warning) -- Eclipse is a little too persnickety about that particular error. There's a preference for this in the Java section under warnings and errors. It's turned off in the trunk dev projects. Otherwise, you should be able to run the compiler directly with no problems (okay, one more caveat: there's a class loader issue with the OEM, fixed in trunk if you look for my Java 1.5 checkin).
Ben: What is your setup? What are you building (Ryan mentions trunk, Joe mentions 30x), which Eclipse, which dev projects, did you build the sdk from the commandline first, etc.?
Cheers,
Jono

Is Adobe FLash builder 4.7 compatible with flex sdk 3.5?

Is Adobe FLash builder 4.7 compatible with flex sdk 3.5?

Kind of. I never actually solved the bug, but I did make it past the install.
Upon running Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Plug-in Installer it appeared to crash and only load a blank screen with a single unclickable button. It wasn't actually "hanging", and would react when I clicked on the program menu and moused over "Services". This would allow my clicks and keystrokes to register with the program, but only after I mouse over the "Services" menu item. For example, you need to click "okay", then mouse over "Services". When you want to enter text you need to click in the text box, and mouse over "Services". Then you need to type the text you want, and mouse over "Services" to see the text appear. It's a PITA, but you can get through the install by doing this.
After installing the FB plug-in starting eclipse with editors open appeared to cause errors. If this happens, this is because it seems that FB attempts to load when eclipse starts up. Close all editors and restart eclipse. The Welcome page for FB may pop open up. At the bottom there is a check box that will keep that form loading - check it. If the page does not open when eclipse starts, then open up an MXML file. The Welcome page should load, and you can check the box.
I hope this helps you move forward. Also, if you find an actual solution please let me know.

How does the ActionScript API, Eclipse IDE, Flex SDK, Cygwin & Flex Builder all communicate??

Whats up Everyone! As you might've immediately recognized from the title of this thread I'm new to developing apps with Flex.....
If I've succesfully set up my development environment (Flex SDK, Eclipse IDE, JAVA SDK, Apache Ant, Flash Player, etc.....) & checked out the source code using Subversion, can I start developing my app using the ActionScript 3 API using Eclipse? & how do those different SDK's & programs communicate? How should they be setup?

If you're willing to buy into the FlexBuilder way of doing things, that's probably the way to go. In this case, you don't really need to worry about anything except FlexBuilder (at least for a while). I don't really have any experience in setting up a project with a server component (I always set 'server type' to 'None' and configure this manually), but other than that, the experience has been (fairly) smooth, and I'm someone who's pretty heavily biased towards the command line. FlexBuilder takes care of most of the Flex compiler options, tracking different SDK versions (I have three different ones installed), offers code completion and navigation tools, etc.
To get some of the terms straight (I'm not sure how familiar you are with these, since you just threw them out there--pardon me if I'm being patronizing):
* the ActionScript API: the function and class definitions built into Flash Player (fl.*) and the Flex standard library (mx.*)
* Eclipse: a Java IDE, the core of FlexBuilder
* Flex SDK: the Flex standard library, the mxml and compc flex compilers, some ant tasks for build automation, etc.
* Cygwin: this does not really have anything to do with Flex specifically, as far as I'm aware--it's a *nix emulation layer for Windows
* FlexBuilder: the Flex IDE from Adobe, built as a plug-in to Eclipse
FlexBuilder is available in standalone (i.e., pre-bundled with Eclipse) and plug-in versions. Both versions include the SDK. If you're just starting out, I would suggest a FlexBuilder standalone trial, and follows some tutorials out there (or, really, just chose "new Flex project" and explore). In this case, you don't really have to worry about installing or configuring anything else to get started.
Note also that for the upcoming Flex 4, FlexBuilder has been renamed Flash Builder (but I would stick with Flex 3.4 or 3.2 right now unless you really likethe bleeding edge).

No Flex Charts with SDK 3.5

Hi guys. I am experiencing a problem with not being able to use Flex's chart components with sdk 3.5
I have Flex Builder Professional.
Charts work with the 3.0 and 3.2 SDK but not 3.5
Am I missing something?

I found out that the library is not bundled with the SDK itself and has to be downloaded separate. I downloaded the library here http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flex/sdk/datavisualization_sdk3.5.zip
