How to create a plugin for Flex Builder

Does anyone know where the documentation is located for developing plug-ins for Flex Builder? I know you can create plugins for Eclipse, but I haven't seen how you can import them into Flex builder without having it in the Eclilpse Marketplace.

Hi,
There are some plugin examples in osmf source code on sourceforge. You can start from an existing plugin to learn the basics - it will be a little easier than starting from scratch.
What should your plugin do?

FDS plugin for flex builder 3

Can anyone tell me how to get the "Create applicaton from
database" working?
I finally found the correct WTP plugin (ie FDS) and
downloaded it:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?searchfield=FDS&search_exchange=15&search_ category=-1&search_license=&search_rating=&search_platform=0&search_pubdate=&num=25&startn um=1&event=search&sticky=true&sort=0&Submit=
But now I can't find anymore information about installing it,
etc. I need to create an application that links to a a SQL db
server.
Please HELP!
Thanks.

You don't need BEA Workshop or IBM Rational Software. I think
it means that you can install Flex Builder plug-in on top of
eclipse/BEA Workshop/IBM Rational Software.
If you choose Flex Builder standalone, then you don't even
need eclipse. If you choose Flex Builder Plug in then you need
eclipse.

Hi,
thanks for your reply,
I have tried to open using file import, but still it is not
working.
in the readme file for this application , contains how to
Creating a project in Flex Builder for the Hybrid Store
application:
Name your default application catalog.mxml.
Prevent Flex Builder from generating an HTML wrapper: select
Project > Properties. Select the Flex Compiler page, deselect
the Generate HTML wrapper file option .
Create a Run configuration for your project but deselect the
Use defaults option and instead assign the Run setting to the
hybridstore.html in your project's bin directory.
To enable debugging of the Hybrid Store application you must
create a copy of hybridstore.html. Open it in an editor (you can
right-click on the file and select Open With > Text Editor).
Find the line that says "src", "catalog" and change it to "src",
"catalog-debug". Assign the Debug setting to this new HTML file.
As i am new to flex , i could not know how to do this.

How can i create a plugin for adobe in design CS3

i'm trying to make a plugin to use it in adobe Indesign CS3 program but i can't
i'm using Windows 7
i had tryed to make a plugin using Eclips with indesign plugin editor and Visual studio C++ but i can't as i can;t find where can i write my code and there is also an error while debuging is that :
<error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Performing Custom Build Step">
after working out this error "by adding the directory of Odfrc.exe in tools->VC++ Directories->executable file" another error raise to me :
<Unknown compiler version - please run the configure tests and report the results> and the visual studio raise message box to me to specify the name of the executable file to be used for the debug session
i don;t know wat can i do know all i need to create a plugin for indesign program so could any one help me ??

Each version of the SDK has very specific demands for the compiler setup, and this in turn relies heavily on the operating system. The CS3 SDK probably was based on a much older version of Visual Studio.
Compare your toolchain against the requirements that should be stated somewhere in the CS3 documentation. It's a solid bet you are years ahead -- there simply is no reason for Adobe to keep on supporting all OSes and compilers that continue to appear, for a version of InDesign that's by now 2.5 versions old.

How to create a Tip for a field in a Descriptive Flex Field in Self Service

How to create a Tip for a field in a Descriptive Flex Field in Self Service ?
Example :
For Address
Each Address Line should have one Tip.
What should I do ?
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
It seems you have created Address Location DFF in self service in OA Framework.....
I have created a Address Location flex in OA Framework . It dipslays the segments properly but i dont want to display the segments if they dont have any value.
I only want to display segments with values . The segments with null values should not display at all...
i.e , if Address Line 2 value is null , it should not display Address Line 2..
If you have done this, pls let me know how to go abt it.
Thanks in Advance,

How to create Import format for building version Hirerarchy and Node

Hi
i Want to know how to create Import format for building version Hirerarchy and Nodes.Can anyone show me with example or format for version Hierarchy with few nodes for the hierarchy
i Want to Build   this   1. Version1 (Version)
                                 2.Account (Hirerarchy)
                                 3. Balancesheet (Limb)
                                 4. Assets (Limb)
                                 5. Cash (Leaf)
Thanks,

Please follow the DRM User Guide,
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/drm_user.pdf
Below is my preferred approach, by selecting only relation and Hierarchy sections,
The relation section contains the Node Name and Parent Name ( you can include any other properties, but as a best practice keep the Parent Node as the last column).
The Hierarchy ( Hier ) section contains the Hierarchy Name, Top Node and Hierarchy description
Follow the Import steps and provide a Name for the version.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[relation]
AC_BalanceSheet AC_Account
AC_Asset AC_Account
AC_Cash AC_Account
[hier]
Account AC_Account AccountHier
++++++++++++++++++++++
Note: Please delete all the special characters (TAB) created at the end of [relation] and [hier] sections while you copy the content from an Excel sheet to a Notepad.

How can we buy a license for Flex Builder 3?

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

double clicking it and the built-in windows services couldn't even

Any official Update for Flex Builder 3 to use Flash Player 10 Api?

Any official Update for Flex Builder 3 to use Flash Player 10
Api?
How can i use flash player's 10 features in flex builder 3?
Thanks

I was able to solve my problem by modifying the solution
offered in
this
technote.
The technote identifies a permissions problem with the
components directory of non-Safari browsers. In my case the
permissions problem appears to have been in the main
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins directory. What tipped me off to the
solution was the fact that after manually removing Flash
Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt from the /Library/Internet
Plug-Ins directory, subsequent attempts to install Flash Player
resulted in the "Creating file: 1008:5, -5000 Access Denied Error"
I remembered seeing in the technote. Before removing these files,
the installer would just fail silently, perhaps because it saw
files it was going to install already living in the right place,
and furthermore had no permissions to alter the directory.
In any case, by making the permissions change recommended in
the technote to the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins directory, I was
able to install the plug-in, which gave me back access to Flash
content in all my browsers.
Hope this is helpful to someone else...

I would like to create a plugin for adobe acrobat pro 9.0...

I would like to create a plugin for adobe acrobat pro 9.0 in order to compare pages, delete the same pages and mark pages from first compared document with new and mark pages from second compared document with original. I downloaded the SDK for adobe 9.0 but now I am not sure how to continue? Do I need Visual Studio or can I use another program that is a freeware? What other program do you recommend? How can I open an .api file in order to see the code? Do I need to place the SDK files in a specific place?

1. You will need Visual Studio. Getting your first plug-in to compile can be an ordeal, be sure to use a sample project and work with it exactly.
2. API files are the work of other programmers. You cannot look inside, and to try to do so is a breach of most software licenses.
3. API files are installed to the Acrobat plug-ins folder.
4. You will not find samples or code to copy/paste. You should be an experienced C/C++ programmer, you should be familiar with the basics of the PDF file format ISO 32000-1, and you should be prepared to read thousands of pages of documentation.

Help creating Proxy Plugin for an Ad SWC

I'm trying to create a plugin for an ad component, where ad video playback is all handled in a SWC.
I took the OSMSPlayer example, and modifed the constructor to load my plugin using the players factory object, and once loaded, I continue with the player setup and configuration. There doesn't seem to be a problem here, everything loads fine.
I then proceeded to create a proxy plugin.
Within ProxyElement, when set proxyElement is called, I create a SerialElement, and add the passed mediaElement as the first child of the SerialElement.
I then add a loadTrait to the proxyElement, and listen for the LoadEvent.LOAD_STATE_CHANGE event. When this is fired, I insert a MediaElement (preroll), which has a PlayTrait, DisplayTrait, TimeTrait and AudioTrait, as the first child of the proxied serialElement, and call play. The preroll video plays fine, i hear audio and see the time updates in the player, but the video is not visible. If I then pause the video, it suddenly appears, and is visible for the remainder of the clip. Once the preroll is complete, the orginal mediaElement plays fine.
I followed the MASTPlugin example, as I am trying to do something similar, except my video playback is handled via a SWC (added to the DisplayTrait). If I just insert a plain VideoElement as the preroll and load a flv it plays fine, so its something specific to my MediaElement impl, but I can't figure out why it doesn't display until I hit pause.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've already burned hours trying to figure this out.
Also, looking at the use case chart below, I probably actually need to create a reference plugin. Does anyone have an example of a reference plugin?
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/OSMF/1.0/Dev/WSc6f922f643dd2e6d-12f30d7b1262b59cb0d- 7ffe.html

The behavior you're describing sounds like a bug -- if you can post a small, self-contained example that reproduces the problem, that would be
very helpful.
You might also want to look at DurationElement and SWFElement. When you wrap the latter in the former, you can display a SWF but augment it with the ability to play, pause, have a duration, and seek. The ExamplePlayer sample app has at least one example showing how to use this (I think it's called "Timed Image" and uses ImageElement rather than SWFElement, but the approach is the same).
As for reference plugins, the ControlBarPluginSample (+ ControlBarPlugin) is a good example of a reference plugin. This sample shows how you can load and display the player chrome dynamically from a plugin.

Can I install Coldfusion Builder as a plugin for Flash Builder?

I already have a licensed copy of Flash Builder 4.x installed, trying to install ColdFusion Builder as a plugin for Flash Builder. When I installed CFB, I selected install as a eclipse plugin and entered the path to the FB directory. Now I can't figure out how to invoke/add the CFB plugin in FB..
Thanks in advance

You should have uninstalled rather than simply deleting CFB 2 plugins manually .
Please do the following to fix it now. (If you have used Uninstaller to uninstall that would have cleaned all these things ):
Take a backup and delete the file: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Uninstall/{b8c666c3-1efd-11b2-bf3c-e04be4b2b610}.db
And you will be able to install CFB as plugin to Eclipse now.
Thanks,

Problem while installing LiveCycle Mosaic ES2 Plugin for Flash Builder 4

I am trying to work on Live Cycle Mosaic 9.5 and I have downloaded FlashBuilder 4 and trying to configure the mosaic plugin "LiveCycle Mosaic ES2 Plugin for Flash Builder 4" in Flash Builder as per following directions given on adobe site:
     "Add the following two update sites via Window > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites (names below are suggested/optional):

Name: RIA Tooling Location: select the LiveCycle Mosaic ES2 Plugin for Flash Builder 4 ZIP file.
Install RIA Tooling Feature: In Help > Install New Software, choose ("Work with") RIA Tooling Site.
Select and install Adobe LiveCycle RIA Tooling."
But I am getting the following error:

Please, suggest me how can I solve this problem to configure mosaic plugin on flash builder 4.

I think that in addition to adding the dependency on the galileo HTTP location the instructions should also advise you to 'check for updates'.
