Issues migrating from Flex Builder 3 to Flash Builder 4.5

Migrating from Flex Builder 3 (SDK 3.5) to Flash Builder 4.5 (SDK 4.5). Using Flex 3 compatibility mode. Flash Player 10.2. MX only components set.
Issue 1. A DataGridColumn error per: Description Resource Path Location Type
Declaration of style 'direction' conflicts with previous declaration in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\sdks\4.5.0\frameworks\libs\mx\mx.swc(mx.controls.dataGridClasses:DataGridColumn). SPT_GUI Unknown Flex Problem
Issue 2. Using Cairngorm 2. Have a class 'Bindable] public class GuiModel implements ModelLocator'. Now getInstance() is not defined per: private var model : GuiModel = GuiModel .getInstance(). Does Cairngorm 3 have to be used with Flash Builder 4.5?
What has to be done to resolve these issues?

Issue 2: Have you defined the static variable to hold the instance of the model locator? Also, have you defined a static method to return the model locator's instance?

License migration from Flex Builder 3 to Flex Builder 4

I am ready to purchase a license for Flex Builder but am hesitant to do so. It appears that Flex Builder 3 is available now with Flex Builder 4 coming within some time period. If I buy a Flex Builder 3 license now will I be entitled to Flex Builder 4? If not, should I wait for FB 4 to become available? What is the anticipated ship date of that product?
Neil

From our FAQ
Q: If I purchase Flex Builder 3, am I eligible for an upgrade to Flash Builder 4?
A: Adobe has not yet announced the ship date of Flash Builder 4. To be eligible for a free of charge upgrade to Flash Builder 4, you will need to purchase maintenance along with your purchase of Flex Builder. You can purchase maintenance with your Flex Builder 3 Standard purchase for an additional $99 US which makes you eligible for a free-of-charge copy of Flash Builder 4 Standard edition when it ships. You can purchase maintenance with your Flex Builder 3 Pro purchase for an additional $299 US. To purchase maintenance, you will need to buy through an Adobe reseller. In the US, please contact CDW at 800-800-4239.

Upgrade from Flex Builder 3.1 to Flash Builder 4.5

I have several project in Flex Builder 3.1 now.
What is the best way to move them in Flash Builder 4.5? Can I just use the workspace from Flex Builder 3.1 in Flash Builder 4.5?
Is Flex 4.5 backward compatible at API level?

You should always have separate workspaces for separate versions of Flash Builder.
Flex 3 and Flex 4 have some large differences. You will probably want to spend some time reading about migrating by searching on Google. Here is a good place to start: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex3and4_differences.html

Design view not working after importing project from Flex Builder

After importing a project from Flex Builder to Flash Builder I am no longer able to see anything in the design view. I am using the flex 4.5 sdk.
Any idea how I can get this design view working? I heard it could have something to do with the metadata directory but am slightly lost here?...
Adam

Could you please provide more information as to what exactly are you importing. Also does Design View not lauch at all or does it give errors. Would it be possible for you to share the logs.
Meanwhile you can try cleaning the workspace and importing again to see if that solves the issue.

Building from flex builder vs ant task

I have a flex application written using flex builder. When I
build it and run it using flex builder, or create an air file from
flex builder and run that, then my application works just fine.
However, I would like people without copies of flexBuilder
installed to be able to build my application, so I am using the
flex ant task (flex-mxmlc) to build my application. As far as I can
tell I have the same configuration, and the same libraries included
in the ant task. However, when I run the air file generated by the
ant task nothing happens. If you look in the task manager, you can
see that the application is running, but the main window for the
application never appears.
I tried running the swf through a debug version of flash to
get some log output, and I am getting a bunch of exceptions, the
first of which is:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.display::NativeWindow
could not be found.
at flash.display::MovieClip/nextFrame()
at mx.managers::SystemManager/deferredNextFrame()
at
mx.managers::SystemManager/preloader_initProgressHandler()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at mx.preloaders::Preloader/timerHandler()
at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()
at flash.utils::Timer/tick()
It seems like it might not be finding the main flex library
(flexlib.swc), is that where that class would be? In my ant task I
have an include-libraries tag that points to that file.
Anyone have any ideas?

I experienced a similar problem (although the class that
could not be found was different for me). Googling around I found
someone who had a similar problem and claimed that using the
flexlib.swc library was the culprit.
The root of the problem is that the Flex SDK that comes
bundled with the Flex Builder has libraries (under frameworks/libs)
that are NOT included in plain free Flex SDK that you and I are
presumably using on our build machines.
When flexlib.swc is linked in, it causes certain classes to
be required at runtime. Apparently when you compile these classes
are linked in if available, but when they are not the compilation
still succeeds. Only you get a VerifyError when you run the thing.
What worked for me was to copy all the additional .swc files
found in my Flex Builder SDK's frameworks/libs directory to the
same directory on my build machine. Also you will need to copy the
additional files under frameworks/locale/en_US.
Rebuild and clear your browser's cache and it should then
work.

How to migrate a flex app from Flex Builder 3 to Flash Builder 4.7

Hello,
I have written an extensive application using Flex Builder 3. I have maintained the app for several years using FB3. In the mean time I have created several mobile apps using Flash Builder 4.7. So I am very familiar with the the new framework. However, my client has requested some big changes to the app. I figured this would be a great opportunity to migrate the app to FB4.7. I would like to keep the mx structure for the time being. So, are there any good documents concerning this migration path? What SDK should I use. Should I start using the Apache Flex SDK?
Thanks,
--randu

Hello Raja,
Thanks. Your reply has been very helpful.
For deploying the Flex app, as a web on NW 04S, I did the following:
- Created a web project and included the following files as web-content. These files were created using the Flex builder or in the Flex development perspective of NWDI - CE, you can find them in the "bin" folder of your Flex project.
   - AC_OETags.js
   - your-app.html
   - your-app.swf
   - history.htm
   - history.js
   - history.swf
   - playerProductInstall.swf
   - crossdomain.xml - This file is important, if our Flex app wants data from the server.
    ( I made the simplest possible crossdomain.xml containing
       <allow-access-from domain="*" secure = "false"/>
- Declare "your-app.htm" as the welcome file in web.xml
- Package, this .war after building this web project in an Enterprise application project and build it.
Now, you have the .ear made, which is deployable on your NW Web AS.
Apart from this, another thing which is important to be included in your Flex mxml code is the following:
( Thanks to Abesh for this........ )
- You have to tell the Flex app, in the action script, as to from where should the Flash engine pick the crossdomain.xml ( in case you are accessing the server for data from your app)
You might have noticed, we packaged the crossdomain.xml along with our other web content in the .war.
So mention, something like this in your action script.
Security.loadPolicyFile("http://<hostname>:<http-port>/<context-root fo your web app>/crossdomain.xml");
The code will work like a charm.
Hope this helps everyone.
Thanks guys.
Best Regards, Gagan.

Migration from Flex 3.3 to Flash Builder 4 problems.

So, I've been working on a Flex Builder 3.3 project for some time now. One of the things I had expected from Flash Builder 4 would be the ability to simply import a fully operational (bug free) 3.3 project. Wrong.
My 3.3 project uses an imported FLVPlayback component (for a number of reasons) and under 3.3 I got no errors using it. Immediately upon importing and opening my 3.3 project in 4.0 I get the following: (any assistance whatsoever would be appreciate to resolve this)
VideoError: 1008: VideoPlayer.iNCManagerClass has not been set or its value is invalid: fl.video.NCManagerDynamicStream

Migration from Flex 3 to Flex 4

I've migrated my project from flex 3 to flex 4 and all it's ok, the new project work fine.
But I created my custom TitleWindow MX style and I created a swc library from Flash builder 4, all it's ok.
When I use my custom TitleWindow in new project (compatible with mx+spark) it work fine when I add only mx component, when I add a <s:TextArea> for example, it throw this error in run-time: Skin for ForumTitleWindow1220.boxMessaggioInput.TextArea1227 cannot be found.
where ForumTitleWindow1220 and boxMessaggioInput are my instance.
in particolar the error is "throw(new Error(resourceManager.getString("components", "skinNotFound", [this])));"
in SkinnableComponent to line 698.
why?

For Flex 4, in addition to developing new "Gumbo" components
which have an improved skinning architecture and use TLF, the Flex
team is also planning to make it possible to have a few TLF
features such as bidirectional text in some or perhaps all of the
Halo components from Flex 3. These components currently use a
Player class known as TextField. A class called TLFTextField is
being developed which uses TLF to implement the same APIs as
TextField, and therefore can replace TextField in the Halo
components.
This work is underway but not yet complete. Only a few
components are currently working with this approach and there is no
way at the moment to turn on bidirectionality. We are also starting
to develop a UI-mirroring feature to allow the entire user
interface -- not just the text -- to become right-to-left.
So what you need -- the ability to write Arabic and Hebrew
applications using only legacy Halo components -- is planned for
Flex 4.

Bi-derectional text and migration from Flex 3 to Flex 4

Hi guys, Can we migrate our application from Flex 3 to Flex 4
in order to support bi-directional text? I have been reviewing the
new Text Layout Framework tutorial and I found out a set of new
components that need to be used in order to support bi-di ext.
What about the classical Flex components that we used to use
in our application? do I need to re-write my application with the
TLF components in order to support bi-di? Can’t I just set
some new properties and re-compile my application?
Please help
Thank You

Execute batch command from flex builder

When I click the "Run" button in Flex builder 3, I would like to execute a batch file. It seems like in the Run settings, it only likes html and flash files. Other file types open in a flash environment Anyone know of a workaround?

Have a look at External Tools and see if that does what you want.
On the main menu bar in Flex Builder there's an "External Tools" icon, click its arrow and select -> Open External Tools Dialog..
Or from the menu, select "Run" -> "External Tools" -> "Open External Tools Dialog..."
You can add a new configuration there and do all kinds of stuff (like creating docs using ASDoc, etc..)

AIR apps won't launch from flex builder

Hi,
I am currently working on my first AIR app inside of Flex
Builder 3. For some reason, when I try to launch, profile, or debug
the app, it does it's normal "Loading.." message in the
bottom-right corner, but will never launch. The loading message
just disappears and the app never shows up. I do have the AIR
runtime installed. I receive this message when trying to profile
the application:
Process terminated without establishing connection to
debugger.
Command:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder
3\sdks\3.0.0\bin\adl.exe" "C:\Personal\Freelance
Projects\MyBoatData_Prototype\bin-debug\MyBoatData-app.xml"
"C:\Personal\Freelance Projects\MyBoatData_Prototype\bin-debug"
Output from command:
invocation forwarded to primary instance
Can anyone help?

If you are using mx:Application, you need to set visible as
true in the app.xml file.
Also make sure that no instance of adl is already running. If
so kill that instance via task manager.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Upgrade from Flex Builder 3 Professional to Flash Builder 4 Standard?

Hi,
I currently own a license to Flex Builder 3 Professional, and I would like to upgrade to Flash Builder 4 Standard. I do not need the extra features included in Flash Builder 4 Premium, and it costs three times as much as the Standard upgrade.
However, none of the upgrade pages say if my particular upgrade path is possible or not. I talked to a sales rep on the phone, and he thought it would be fine, but didn't know for sure. Can anyone give me the official word if it is possible to upgrade from FB3 Pro to FB4 Standard?

Hi,
I don't think that "downgrades" from FB3 Pro to FB4 Standard are officially supported. You might be able to negotiate with a Sales Rep to make an exception for you though, for a discounted price on a non-upgrade version of FB4 Standard.
Alternatively, if you have any interest in CS5 Web Premium (or have any Adobe products qualifying for a CS5 upgrade), FB4 Standard is included with that Suite now.

You might have the ADL open already and had a bug, so it's
not going to show the new application.
You need to manually close ADL first before you try debugging
another time. If you're on a PC, use Task Manager ->
Processes... and end ADL.EXE
Then try running the app again... it should sort it
out.
