For pure AS3 development do we still need to overlay the FLEX SDK?

Hi Guys
I've found this whole SDK overlay business a mess and very confusing. I've found this document
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/ane-android-devices.html
which states
"The distribution of the AIR SDK with ASC 2.0 is for pure ActionScript development only. It should not be combined with an existing Flex SDK.
To support Flex application development with newer versions of the AIR SDK, an AIR SDK overlay distribution that does not include ASC 2.0 needs to be overlaid over the Flex SDK bundled with Flash Builder 4.7."
So if we are doing pure AS3 development there is no longer any need to do any 'overlaying' of one SDK Folder onto another. We just need to get the latest AIR SDK with complier ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html )
We should then update the AIR SDK if using Flash Builder via ( http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder. html ) (Note it still uses the term 'overlay' but you are not really overlaying but replacing).
Is this conclusion correct. Do we just need the SDK with the new compilier and nothing else ?
Can someone from Adobe confirm please ?
Thanks
PS - I've asked this question on the Flash Builder Forom but there's been no response.

Yes, that's correct, for pure AS3 development you need not use the Flex SDK overlay. For this you should use asc2 compiler available at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html . Also below are step to overlay your AIR SDK with Flash builder 4.7
1. Exit Flash Builder.
2. Back up the AIR SDK availabe at Application/FB4.7/eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722/ by copying the entire directory and rename it to something AIRSDKversion. Now, you have two folder AIRSDK(default one) and AIRSDKversion(copied one).
3. Download the appropriate AIR SDK file for your operating system e.g. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html unzip and save it on your MAC OS X.
4. On Terminal, run the below command
sudo ditto /path/air3-8_sdk_sa_mac /Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.7/eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722/AIRSDK
/path/air3-8_sdk_sa_mac -> path where you downloaded the AIR SDK
/Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.7/eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722/AIRSDK -> path where you overlay the new AIR SDK
5. (Optional) To access the new AIR 3.8 APIs, update your application descriptor file to the 3.8 namespace.
To update the namespace, change the xmlns attribute in your application descriptor to: <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.8">
6. (Optional) To ensure that the output SWF file targets SWF version 21, pass an additional compiler argument: -swf-version=21.
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Nimit

Do I still need to use the old mobile me backup system for backing up a mac desktop and if I delete it will it affect the memory of my system which has now Maverics

Do I still need to use the old mobile me backup system for backing up all my data and having it able to get at in case of a crash, or can the icloud reset everything? Because I can not find any structured refrence, as to how it would be done. I am updated to Maverics. Also does the icloud continue if I uninstall the backup to free up space?

MobileMe was discontinued in 2012 and all the data stored on it was deleted, and iCloud can't make backups of Macs.
What I recommend you to make backups is to get an external drive and use Time Machine or an application like Carbon Copy Cloner. With this, you can access to your data everywhere and safely, and then, if you want, use a cloud storage service like CrashPlan. You can keep on using iCloud without backups

So I preordered a album on iTunes and it was priced at 9.99 and when I preordered it bought the two available songs for down load in that album do I still need to pay the 9.99 or will I pay less since it bought the two song when I preordered

So I preordered a album on iTunes and it was priced at 9.99 and when I preordered it bought the two available songs for down load in that album do I still need to pay the 9.99 or will I pay less since it bought the two song when I preordered

If the two tracks have been released early then you will only be charged for the remainder when the actual album is released i.e. $9.99 minus the cost of those two tracks.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5714 :
Some pre-orders include songs that are available for download immediately. When you pre-order, you will be charged only for these songs and you will receive them immediately.

Do I still need to run the catupgrd.sql??

Hi
I would like if I install the Oracle in the following procedure, do I still need to run the catupgrd.sql.
1. Install Oracle 10.2.0.1 software only( i.e. without create any database instance)
2. Install Oracle 10.2.0.2 patch
3. Create an Oracle Instance using DBCA
Do I still need to run the catupgrd.sql for the newly created database instance?

Do I still need to run the catupgrd.sql for the newly created database instance?No, you don't. Because database was created on already patched software.

I want to use Xcode to create an app and i need developer tools. so i need to join the devoper program only problem is I'm not 18

You can get Xcode without joining the developer program. Just go to the App Store and download it (it's free).
You'd only need to join the Developer program if you want to put your app into the App Store, this is for OS X.
You will need to join the Developer program if you want to develop for IOS. In that case you will need a parent or guardian.

Have you tried walking it into the nearest Apple Store and asking for assistance there...?
I'm guessing you don't have Apple Care on it.

Well when all else fails do a restore! This fixed my problem. Still don't know why the content bar differed, but what the hey!

Go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download and download the current version.

The apps I currently have are for the i phone and i pad but i would like to see this on this computer
On the Mac Air launch iTunes. Then connect either the iPad or iPhone.
Select the iPad or iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
Then select Apps from the menu on the right.
If you don't see the apps listed there, from your iTunes menu bar (top of your screen), click Store > Authorize This Computer.
See if that makes a difference...

If my iphone 4s was unlocked by AT&T, but I need to use my warranty for a new iphone. Do I need to reunlock the new iphone? or will apple give me an unlocked iphone?

If your phone is officially unlocked, you will get an officially unlocked iPhone if yours is replaced under warranty. Apple maintains a data base of officially unlocked iPhones & can verify whether your phone is officially unlocked or not. To be safe, point this out to the genius bar, if you go to an Apple store or whoever you talk to, if dealing with AppleCare.

I am deleting all my old versions of Lightroom and want to install the newest version , I don't pay extra for that right? It's still part of doing the creative cloud monthly cost right?

Correct, if you've got the Photography Plan or the Cloud Complete Plan.

Do I need flash builder 4 to work with the flex sdk?

Is it necessary to use flash builder 4 to work with the flex sdk?
Can you build apps just using the open source flex sdk. If so are there tutorials and books on how to do so?
Thanks in advance for your help.

No, you don't need Flash Builder to use the Flex SDK. If you download the SDK and unzip it, you'll find a 'bin' directory that has the mxmlc compiler in it. You can compile Actionscript or MXML files using that.
./mxmlc MyFlexApp.mxml
If you are building an AIR application, you will use amxmlc
./amxmlc MyAIRFlexApp.mxml
Then, launch your AIR application using adl
./adl.exe MyAIRFlexApp-app.xml
Hope this helps,

Getting New Hard disk from Toshiba for E45t-A4100 . Do I still need recovery media

Hi,
My hard drive crashed and after the online troubleshooting was directed to go for a new hard drive which I did as the laptop is in warranty.
However I am asked to get a recovery media too(as I do not have one created earlier).
My query is will the new hard drive not come with windows preinstalled. What extra will the recovery media have to help me. (Sorry if the questions sound dumb)
Thanks
Dr. Manoj Yadav
Solved!
Go to Solution.

New hard drive is blank, recovery media is needed.
If the drive you have will load in safe mode you could try to burn your own recovery media, if not you will have to order recovery media.
