"Import Flex Project" Menu Disappear [FB 4.6]

Hi All,
I am not sure what's going wrong here but I'm not able to see "Import Flex Project" menu item under File Menu.
Can any one knows how to get it back ?
Thanks
Mac

I'm having the exact same issue as he described. This doesn't help at all.
I am using a fresh install of Flash Builder 4.6.
I have tried closing and re-opening the project, and cannot get the design view to work.
I have tried creating a completely new project, it comes up bad.
**Edit**
I think the problem has to do with the workspace. Most of my projects are flex 4.5. I started using an old flex 4.5 workspace that I have been using for several months. It worked well for a few hours of development, and then the design view started messing up.
I created a fresh new workspace, and imported the projects into the workspace by using file->import flash builder project->Folder, and manually selected the projects I needed.
This method worked for me and I am good to go.
Another point of note, is that my workspace was in my dropbox folder, which may have had some tampering going on in the background, I doubt it, but that could also have been the issue.
Good luck guys, hope this helps.

Can't import Flex project

I wonder if someone can help me with this. I am using FlexBuilder 3. I am unable to import my project from one laptop to another. The old laptop had CF8 and the new has CF9 so I’m not sure if this is the problem. When I try to import an archive I exported from the CF8 laptop, I get the prompt to update the path variables. It accepts the path to ColdFusion9 but will not accept the web root. I have tried C:\inetpub\wwwroot but it gives error message saying ‘the selected web root folder does not exist’. I also tried C:\inetpub and C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot.
I’m stumped at this point and desperate to get this imported. I have been having a nightmare trying to migrate this application from CF8, Windows Server 2003, IIS 6 to CF9, Windows Server 2008, IIS7.5. We are also using SSL so from what I’ve read I will have to recompile all these swfs with some changed XML config files. But of course, the first step is getting the app into FlexBuilder.

Thanks for the reply drkstr_1. I've got IIS working (I think) since the CF app comes up fine and I can surf about. It's the flex grids I have that won't work. I get: "Destination 'ColdFusion' not accessible over channel 'my-cfamf-secure'". Actually, the flex grids DO work with http, but they don't work using https. I had found information to add secure channel info to the remoting-config.xml and services-config.xml files. Once those channels are added, I need to recompile the swfs. But first is to get the project into this new laptop FlexBuilder. I'm using C:\inetpub\wwwroot for my websites. And here is what I'm trying to follow for the recompiling and reconfiguring: http://blog.crankybit.com/flex-remoting-over-ssl/

Importing Flex project into Flash CS5 for use with iPhone packager? Please Help.

Hi all,
I have been developing an application in Flex builder for the iPhone using the iPhone packager, where I've been using the Flex framework.
Now I'm stuck at trying to use my existing libraries in Flash. It seems I can't add the UI components I used in Flex (class VideoExample) to the default Flash container. I need someone's help who has experience with that.
I have created a .SWC file, but when I'm trying to add the container in Flash using addChild(new VideoExample) it doesn't work. I can't load the .SWF externally using loader.load() at runtime, because the application is for iPhone. Any solutions how could I import the project to Flash?
I was thinking about changing the UI components classes from mx.* to fl.*, but I would have to change many code and I'm not sure if it would even work, and I don't want to loose compatibility with mxml.
Please respond, help would be very much appreciated!
Here's my mxml wrapper, from which I start the main application:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" applicationComplete="EntryPoint.main()">
</mx:Application>
Then I have a class which creates the main container:
package {
import mx.core.*;
public class EntryPoint {
    public static function main():void {
        var client:VideoExample = new VideoExample();
        var mxmlApp:Application = Application(Application.application);
        mxmlApp.addChild(client);
Here is the main class VideoExample:
package {
import mx.controls.*;
import mx.containers.*;
public class VideoExample extends Canvas {
    public function VideoExample() {
        super();
        init();
        private function init():void {
        loadImage();
        loadText();
                loadDisplay();
                startConnection();

Help me with a flex project... how do i use it ?!?

i have this entire project and i don't know how to use it... what should i do with it ?!?
Any help ?

Imported files do not show up in the project menu

When I import files into a new folder I cannot locate them in the project menu. The files do not have a project path. They show up in the "last import" section though. What's wrong?

You cannot import files into an Aperture Folder. Folders hold containers (Folders, Projects, and Albums); they do not hold Images that are not in another container. Projects and Albums hold Images.
Right-click one of the Images shown in the "Last Import" Browser, and select "Show in Project" from the context menu. This should make that Project the active one, and show you which one it is by selecting it on the Library tab of the Inspector.

Importing Flex 2 projects in Flash Builder 4.5

I have a decent amount of Flash/ActionScript experience, but I'm brand new to both Flex and Flash Builder... so apologies for asking a potentially stupid question.
I just received a Flex project from a client, and I assumed I'd be able to work on it with my recent install of Flash Builder 4.5
But when I go to File > Import Flash Builder Project and navigate to the Project folder, I just get a warning that says:
“The folder does not contain a valid Flash Builder Project.”
I think this project might have originally been developed in Flex 2. Am I doing something wrong, or is it normal to not be able to import older Flex projects into Flash Builder? If Flash Builder can't import old Flex projects, what's the recommended workaround?

dont import it, do it from scratch in fb4

How to import your Air/Flex project from FB 4.6 to FB4.7

It seems so easy.. however, I can't figure out how to do it.
I used to build my projects (Air projects with merged SDK) in FB4, FB4.5 later FB4.6 and now 4.7. But when I import my old project, it gets an old 3.4 AIR SDK. Wtf?
When I go to the project settings and want to change the sdk to my Flex 4.6 with Air 4.0 SDK, I cant! it sais "This project will use AIR SDK 3.4".
So I go to FB settings, add the new SDK in Flex SDK's but still I can't change the SDK from my project.
When I create a new Flex project, I can select the right SDK's. But I never made a Flex project. I make Air projects.
So it seems to me that Flash builder 4.7 can have multiple Flex SDK's (merged or not) for Flex projects only, and just one SDK for Air projects which you can't be changed.
O and the default is also freaking old.
Now who the hell came up with that stuff at Adobe?...
So I located the Air SDK my FB is using, and replaced it with my Flex4.7 and Air4.0 SDK. No luck, whole FB went nuts.
Anyone has a clue?

FlashBuilder (doesn't matter what version) screws this up all the time. There are so many files related to configuration of the workspace, the projects within the workspace and the eclipse environment that it gets messed up all the time.
I never have this problem in other editors Eclipse based editors like InteliJ, Aptana, FDT etc. It's just Adobe growing / extending a tool which has bad programming in it and not bothering to go back and fix the root of the problem before expanding on it. FlashBuilder doesn't get the attention it deserves from Adobe. If they are not careful in the not too distant future when WebGL is supported on all the major web browsers and tools are released to translate WebGL to OpenGL ES iOS and Android applications AIR might see itself becoming a thing of the past. Esepcially when the tools can't even save the state of the projects they themselves created correctly.

Import fla file in Flex Project

I've just found this nice effect in flash.
Would it possible to import it in a Flex project?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings!

I got these files also. But how to use Flash's fl.transitions. package with Flex.
Flash and Flex are doing transitions very differently.
In Flex, for example,
Define a transition effect: <mx:WipeLeft id="wl"/>
Use it: <mx:Canvas id="home" ... showEffect="wl">
Flash uses TransitionManager:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var myTM:TransitionManager = new TransitionManager(my_mc);
myTM.startTransition({type:Wipe, direction:Transition.OUT, duration:3, easing:Strong.easeOut, startPoint:1});
How to define the MovieClip - "my_mc"? Both Flex and Flash have flash.dispaly.MoiveClip. Are they the same?

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

Importing tlf project in flex builder

I can't find flex project for tlf in development folder. Could anybody guide me how to build tlf swc using flex/flash builder.
Chetan Sachdev

A Flash Builder project to build textLayout.swc is not currently available in Subversion... just an Ant script, which is the official way to build it. None of the projects in the 'development' folder are an officially supported part of the Flex SDK; for example, they don't appear in ZIP'd builds of the Flex SDK. We try to maintain them but sometimes they drift out of sync with the Ant scripts or have other issues.
If the community wants to contribute a project, I think we'd be willing to add it to the repository.
In the meantime, you'll have to set up your own project and populate it with the source code.

Importing a Project into Eclipse

Hi Folks,
My collegue just zipped up a flex project and emailed it to
me. I'm trying to get it set up in my own Eclipse/FlexBuilder, and
could sure use a little guidance, since I'm new to all this.
First, shall I create a new Eclipse workspace for this
project?
Then what? The File | Import function demands that I create a
"New Project". But if I create a flex project, it creates a whole
bunch of files that will just be over-written when I unzip the
*real* project. Which will probably corrupt somebody's view of the
project.
If, instead, I create a new project, and Import into that,
well, what sort of project should I create?
And where do I point my workspace directory? Anywhere seems
to do, but should it point to the place where I unzip the real
project files?
And finally, is there some documentation that covers these
basic mechanics? This just seems far far far more complicated than
it needs to be, and a simple explanation of how to set up new and
exlisting Eclipse/Flex projects would be a great help.
Thanks,
ws
p.s. If anyone has a Team Server plugin for Eclipse, please
let me know. That too would be a great help!

Question 1) does your ziped project have .project file inside
of it?
1) if (Yes)
you dont need to create new project
open Eclipse click file -> Import ...
in a dialog open Plus sign next to general and select
"Existing projects into workspace". click next
next window you need to browse to directory where you have
unzipped your project (make sure you select directory that has
.project file inside ) after clicking ok in browser dialog eclipse
should recognize it as project and lastly you will see eclipse
displays that as a project you can select , so select it and click
finish , thats it all should be done.
2) if your zipped project does not have .project file :
before doing anything you need to analyze the directory
structure, does it have WEB-INF in it does it have src etc , if you
can at least shortly outline that directory structure it would be
lot easier to tell you how to get it working.
it look slike that you are trying to create non basic flex
project?

Library project errors and imports of projects using them

So this is something that I have put up with in FB for a long time now, but I decided to try doing some research today to see if there is a workaround as it is very annoying. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything.
I attempted to file a bug/feature request, but it turns out that for some unknown reason FB is the only Adobe application that gives a link to another url (http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/) and, today at least, the link is dead so I have to post here instead.
The problem is with library projects (which I love by the way). I use them a great deal and for more than just creating standalone APIs. As do many others, I like to have the core of many of my cross-platform projects in a library so that I can create other ‘harness’ projects for different runtimes and use the same bulk code. This way I can just write code in each master project that is particular to that runtime be it air or web or whatever - this is a great bit of functionality that I would really miss were it not there.
As a result of this workflow however, I am often working in the library project directly in order to update all versions of a project. The problem arises when there is an error in the library project. When this happens, all the projects reading from the library lose all linkages to the swc and as a result the problem tab fills up with hundreds of problems that don’t exist, because as far as those projects are now concerned the swc no longer exists.
Now I understand why this happens but surely FB could be made to understand what is going on and override (what I assume is) the compiler’s behaviour, and just not display these errors.
This whole thing is exacerbated by (and may not even be that big a problem where it not for) the fact that I am forced to turn off 'build automatically' due to the 4.7 crash bug that has been reported here numerous times. Because of this I tend to write large chunks of code between each compile so I don't instantly know what has broken.
Please save the feature that I enjoy so much by either getting FB to deal with the situation better or by fixing the crash bug so I can use ‘build automatically’ again… or god forbid… fix both!! I can dream. J
If anyone has any good tips regarding this please let me know.
Many thanks,
James

Can I then delete the project from the hard drive (as it's now in the library?) or will that delete the whole thing forever?
That depends on how you did import the projects. If your images are referenced they might still be stored in the previous projects, but if your library is managed, then it will be save to delete the projects you already imported.

Create library (swc) in Flash Builder 4 / Flex Project (not in a Library Project)

I want to create a swc file to use it in an other project. I can't use the Flash 4 Library Project to do this, because in a Library Project I
haven't the possibility to use data/services, which I need for my library. After click on "data / services" I get the message "This view is only for Flex-Projects available".
Has anyone a solution for my problem?
Thanks for your help.

Connect to PHP in FB4 is used when you have a PHP Class and you want to use that in FB, for example Employee.php and it has a Employee class and various methods in that like create, update, get, delete.
However, if you have exposed your functionality in PHP as a HTTP URL (i.e. it is not a class), then you should be using HTTPService from the data menu.
So if your file is login.php and is accessible as a URL, then using the HTTPService and enter the URL.
Does this help?
