Must not combine new AIRSDK with Compiler with 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 you are doing pure AS3 development there is no longer any need to do any 'overlaying' of one SDK Folder onto another. You just need to get the latest AIR SDK with complier ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html )
You 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).
Can someone from Adobe confirm please ?
Thanks

You must use Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3. No later version of Flex works. This means you must use Flex Builder 3 (with Flex 2.0.1 runtime for your project) and you cannot use Flash Builder 4.5.
This holds true for their 2008 Xcelsius version and their new 4.0 Dashboard version. Wish they'd update their runtime already...

Windows 8 Adobe Reader will not fully open a pdf compiled with several pdf's into one - why?

Windows 8 Adobe Reader will not fully open a pdf compiled with several pdf's into one - why?

Hi Michael,
“AdbeRdr11003_en_US.exe” is the download installed on our CEO’s new Windows 8 laptop. It is a Dell XPS Re: Windows 8 Adobe Reader will not fully open a pdf compiled with several pdf's into one - why? Dell XPS 13" . It has a full install Windows 8 Professional for its’ Operating System.
I’ll attempt to attach the file in question. The file opens fine on our Windows 7, and XP computers (with the proper Adobe Reader on each).
Our CEO says there is a message that comes up saying he needs Adobe Flash. I’m attempting to find out whether or not he is trying to open it the ‘Metro’ view, or the ‘Desktop’ view – no answer yet.
If your system strips the attachment, let me know, and I’ll upload the file to an ftp site {if necessary}.

FlexUnit not generating TestRunner.swf when compiled with Hudson / Ant

I've been dabbling with FlexUnit (4.1 RC2) and CI under Hudson. To that effect, I chose to test the server configuration with the sample CI project that comes with the 4.1 RC2 distribution of FlexUnit, and compiling the project with Hudson (now Jenkins after most recent update) and Ant (1.8). It doesn't work because it does not seem to compile the TestRunner swf. After exploring the artifacts in the workspace, it appears that the TestRunner mxml file is created as you would expect, but then the mxmlc compiler is seemingly silently failing to complete the compile step.
It's worth noting at this point that compiling on my local dev machine does work (as it does on a half dozen other dev machines), also, the Hudson configuration is good for compiling other Flash projects. So mxmlc from the Flex SDK is setup and compiling other projects successfully.
Here's the first part of the build log from Hudson / Jenkins as it tries to compile the sample project:

After this line I would expect another line indicating the swf output and the size of the file - as I see in the build log on my dev machine - but that never happens because mxmlc never writes the swf. I have no idea why this fails.

But of course by this point we're toast because mxmlc has not output the TestRunner swf, so the filename is invalid. If anyone has any idea what's wrong, or any suggestions on things to try, please let me know, we're desperate!!
Thanks for your time.

Try ensuring the flash player on the server is definitely the Flash Debugger, also you have set headless to false, it needs to be true.

Mail not fetching new data every 15 with 3g turned off

I had to turn 3g off in order to improve my reception and battery life. It seems to help somewhat, however I notice that the Mail application does not fetch new mail every 15 minutes like its setup to do. It works fine in 3g mode, just doesnt do it while its on edge. (I think it also works ok on wifi.)

Perhaps your in an area with awesome 3g reception but really bad Edge. Weird huh.

Issue with AdvancedDataGrid in Flex SDK 3.3

Hello Forum,
I downloaded and installed Flex SDK 3.3. Once I pointed my environment to the SDK 3.3, compiler complained that it can’t find AdvancedDataGrid component in the path. After some investigation, I was able to fix this issue by downloading Flex 3.3 Data Visualization Components from http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/flexdownloads/. Then I had to unzip downloaded file into the /sdk_3.3.0_install_dir/
I don't think I had to go through this in my previous installations - 3.2 and 3.1. Does anyone know the reason for this two step download and installation?
Also, I would like to use a new Vector class in my future development, does anyone know what version of SDK provides it?
Much Appreciated,
Mike

If I'm not wrong Vector is a part of Flash Player 10, so it's no related to the SDK, and also in Flex Builder you can access all the new classes that are available in FP 10 but you don't get autocompletion for those new clases if I'm not wrong.

How to read new SWF bytecode compiled with ASC2

I need to get the build date from the bytecode, but SWFs generated by ASC2 produce bytes in a different order than the ASC1 does.
Anybody know how to read it?
cheers

Not sure if this is what you mean, but one of them uses zlib and the other uses lzma compression and the corresponding first letter of the file is f rather than z (I think... would need to double check). The lzma compression makes a big difference - roughly a third smaller for some of my SWF.

Help with compiling with Java 1.3 in Windows 98

Using JDK 1.3 and Windows 98... here is my problem. If I create a class called EventSite.java and another class called eventsite.java (same name, different cases) and then compile them both...I only see the the first class compiled in the directory (they are both being compiled into the same directory).
i.e. I run 'javac EventSite.java' and when I look in the c:\jdk1_3\bin\ directory I see EventSite.class.
I then run 'javac eventsite.java' and when I look in the same directory I only see EventSite.class. Why???????
Where did eventsite.class go?
Note: both .java files compile without error.
Help please.

Yes it is very strange. Both .java files compile clean yet the second one does not seem to create a .class file. If you are using Windows 98 you can do a simple test to see this...
Create a class with a simple method in it.
Save the file as 'Test.java' (capital 'T').
Compile it into a directory (c:\jdk1.3\bin\).
Using Windows Explorer, check the directory and see 'Test.class' exists.
Now go into the code of the same class and just change the name of the class and save as 'test.java' (lower case 't').
Compile it into the same directory (c:\jdk1.3\bin\).
Using Windows Explorer, check the directory and see 'Test.class' still exists, 'test.class' does not.
Note. If you delete 'Test.class' from the directory and then recompile 'test.java', you will then see 'test.class' in the directory.
It's very wierd and it isn't an issue with a particular computer either. I am taking a class in Java currently and everyone in the clas is having this issue...even the professor hasnt seen this before which is why I figured I would ask on here.
Any thoughts???? Thanks

Connection pooling issue with compiling with jdk 1.5.0

A
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name jdbc is not bound in this Context exception occurs when I run my web app in Tomcat 5 using jdk 1.5. However, I don't get this problem with I use jdk 1.6.0. The mysql connector version is 3.1.1.4 and my server.xml file has been configured correctly. Any suggestions as to why this exception is occurring - I'm assuming it's a version issue but not sure how to solve it!

Use "java:comp/env/jdbc/DbUser" instead of just "jdbc/DbUser" for datasource config

404 not found when trying to download Adobe Flex SDK build 4.0.0.10845

Title says it all. I tried to download the nightly build and got a 404. Didn't find any "report broken link" on the actual download page, so I'm posting here in the hopes that the right people will see it.

Jens,
Thanks for the heads-up, we'll look into it.

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

Can't package native installer on Linux with Flex SDK 4.5 : Invalid AIR file

Hi,
We've moved our application to compile against the 4.5 SDK.
We're compiling it with Flash Builder (on mac) into an air file and as our application is using NativeProcess API, we're packaging it on each platform into a native installer with the following command (linux example) : adt -package -target native app.deb app.air
We think we fall into the same issue as http://forums.adobe.com/message/3271944#3271944 but for the 4.5 DSK.
On Linux it used to work with the following environment (env1):
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Java Sun 1.6.0_24
- Flex SDK 4.1.0.16076 + Adobe Air SDK 2.5.0
It stops to work when we upgrade to the new Flex SDK (env2):
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Java Sun 1.6.0_24
- Flex SDK 4.5.0.20967 (with the default embeded Adobe Air SDK 2.6)
The faut message is "Invalid AIR file" and nothing is logged in the log file (/home/<username>/.appdata/Adobe/AIR/Logs/Install.log).
1) The .air file is installing correctly on env2 (without the support of the NativeProcess as expected)
2) We also tried to compile the project directly on env2 :
amxml app.mxml
adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore cert.p12 app.air app-app.xml air.swf
The .air file is installing fine but the packaging into a native process fails in the same way...
3) We tried to package a native installer of our .air file on env1 and it works!!! (the installed application seems to work fine also on env2!!!)
Are we missing something or does it seems to be a bug of the Flex SDK 4.5?
Are there some restrictions to package a native installer with the Flex SDK 4.1 a air app build with the Flex SDK 4.5 ?
Thanks in advance,
Mich

Hi,
Finally we figure out how to solve the issue.
The packaging into native .deb installer fails as explain above because with the hole Flex SDK 4.5 (adt -version told 2.6.0.1920).
The packaging is successfull if only Air SDK 2.6 is install.
What is strange that both adt seems to be the same "2.6.0.1920" (found with "adt -version").
Can someone from the Adobe dev team explain it?
I suppose as the Flex SDK is not available for the Linux platform, the download only contains the Air SDK for Windows and Mac OS as opposed to the specific download of the Air SDK for te Linux platform...
Thanks,
Mich

Requirement that rate must not be aggregated..

Hi,Experts
here is an intersting issue with me..
we have supply and recieving sites.."S" and "R"..From "S" to "R" there exists volume and rate.and the value must be calculated from rate*volume. The Requirement is "volume and value must be reported for the end user" such that rate must not be aggregated.
I tried with calc scripts,but rate also getting aggregated..
For the information value,volume,rate are part of our accounts dimension and the product line,time period,S,R,Verison are the other dimension...

Hi sundeep,
we have time,supply site,recieve site,product line,accounts as dimensions....
with respect to these dimensions,from sending site to recieving site we have volume and rate individually...From these we need to calc value...which is obtained by volume?*rate..such that rate must not be aggregated..
i tried with cal scripts..
SET AGGMISSG OFF;
SET CACHE HIGH;
SET UPDATECALC ON;
SET CALCPARALLEL 3;
@LEVMBRS ("Product", 0);
"Value" = "Volume_FRT" * "Rate_FRT";
CALC ALL;
But rate is getting Aggregating with it..and where my headache lies....i tried with ignore,never consolidate options in the outline too...
I need help on this...If any thing need to be cleared about outline ...pls get back to me

Directory (AIR 3.4) does not contain a Flex SDK

I had previously downloaded and installed the AIR 3.4 sdk in FB 4.6, but when I try to add it FB 4.7, I get:-
Diretcory does not contain a Flex SDK
How do I install the AIR 3.4 sdk into FB 4.7?
I running on Mac OS X 10.7.4

For everyone WHO IS ON A MAC and coming to this thread -- and you're at wits end like I was..
This is very important...
This process will work flawless if you follow the steps on:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/how-overlay-air-sdk-flex-sdk.html
Follow them to a T. Don't drag, don't option copy, put tbz2 into your new sdk folder (step 1 below), do the unpacking from terminal under sudo using tar as the directions tell you to.
An overview...
1. Shutdown flash builder first and I highly recommend you backup the original 4.6.0 sdk folder and that you make a new sdk folder called 4.6.0_AIR3.x .. change x to be the version you are merging in. Put the tbz2 AIR file you downloaded from Adobe into this! Then unpack using sudo (plus the tar command they tell you to use in the above link).
2. Update the <name> key under flex-sdk-description.xml after you unpack. append a (AIR 3.x) so you know what the *** this sdk is. To do this properly, and so you don't have permission issues.. do this from the 'ol command line in terminal. type: sudo nano flex-sdk-description.xml to edit it.
3. Update your project to use the new SDK only. Project properties -> flex compiler -> Configure Flex SDKs
4. Update your application namespace! Your project will error until you do! Edit your [myappname]-app.xml to reflect the proper AIR version in that first line that reads: <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.x">
Follow the steps and you should be golden.

I have new 2T iomega external HD (Mac Companion) - my Mac (2.8 GHz i7 - Lion OS) will not recognize HD if hooked up with Firewire, but it does recognize if hooked up via USB - how can I get it to recognize with Firewire?

I have new 2T iomega external HD (Mac Companion) - my Mac (2.8 GHz i7 - Lion OS) will not recognize HD if hooked up with Firewire, but it does recognize if hooked up via USB - how can I get it to recognize with Firewire?

Try a different FW800 cable and also try doing a SMC reset. If neither work try another FW800 device to see if it's recognized, if it is then you know it's not the Mac it's probably the EHD.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
