No AIR in Flex 2 beta 3

I have no AIR export button, or even no menu, like "file >
new > AIR project" ! Does it means that AIR hasn't been
implemented in Flex 3 Beta 2 ? Here's a capture :

EDIT: I try to deinstall using the unistaller, then
reinstall. It doesn't work...
EDIT : Ok, I see :-) AIR projects are know define in Flex
project properties. Sorry for the useless post !

Hi There
For project creation Check out File > New > Flex
Project > Choose the AIR option in the Application type field.
For Export, see File > Export > other > Flex >
Export release version or there is a tool bar button.

  • Do i use Air or Flex for iPhone and Android app development

    Hi guys, whats the main difference between the 2 and does Air or Flex have everything Xcode does for iPhone/iPad development
    I'm hearing that Flex has Android and SDK for iPhone, if this is the case why learn Xcode ?
    Thanks

    Titanium is good for iOS, but apparently not so good for Android. Moreover, it's not so cheap!
    When one chooses a platform, one should also take into consideration the history and stability of the company which offers it.
    That is why I would not go to Appcelerator: who knows what's behind the corner?
    Sure, it is ironic that I say this after Adobe - a big company - has abandonded Flex...
    Some alternatives:
    - AMPChroma (Horrible name, but it has a solid company selling it: Antenna Software). This thing has the advantage that the content is not either native or web: the same content can be packaged for a web site AND for an app
         Pro's: Many big players are using it
         Con's: price list not very clear
    - Adobe Edge "Preview" + Adobe PhoneGap <--- Adobe says: you create animation for the web, you package it for an app. Not many people have tried it. But apparently it will work.
         Pro's: apparently, Edge is Adobe's instrument to finally go to HTML5.
         Con's: Edge "showcase" performs BADLY and SLOWLY in an iPhone (go think of a Samsung Mini)
    - Adobe Flash professional CS6 + Create JS <--- you create animations in Flash, then you export to HTML5 and js for browsers which don't have flash. You can also package with AIR for iOS and Droid.
         Pro's: Flash professional is easy, Action Script is powerful. You can have BOTH the power of Flash and the portability of html5/JS.
         Con's: for how long will Adobe support this Create JS hack? When will Adobe say "OK, now you've done enough automatic porting to JS, from next release on you move to Edge, or to - wait for it - a version of Flash which uses Javascript instead than ActionScript?"
    Me, I don't know what to do. I am keen on FlashBuilder/Flex because it's fast to build. Apps are really compatible both with iOS and Android. It has Salesforce.com connectivity. It's cool.
    However, there are two problems that get me stuck from continuing with FlashBuilder:
    - OK for native apps but... how do I use the Flash Builder/Flex content for the mobile WEB? Flash Builder does not have the CreateJS capability. I do a cool interface and I cannot reuse it on the mobile web if not with apps?
    - OK for HTML5 but... it's NOT as good as Flash now. Have you ever seen a Phonegap application with graphics? They're embarassing. Slow, imprecise. And non-compiled Edge stuff is not much better. Is it? any good example.
    Bottom line: at the moment, HTML5 support does not seem good. On the other hand, Flex is NOT compatible with mobile web. What IS performing and promises to be compatible with mobile web in addition to native apps?
    Flash Professional CS6.
    Again.
    I am happy if some-one belies me with good arguments.

  • Desktop app based on AIR using Flex

    Hi
    I am a .NET/PHP programmer and  is new to Flex. We have a requirement for a small desktop application to be provided as a service download (ref: BBC news ticker). I read that Flex would be a good option.
    My questions are as follows:
    1. Your feedback on using Flex
    2. Is Flex 4 to Flex 3 better to start with (newbie)
    3. Do I require any other investment other than Flash Builder
    4. Any disdvantages in using Flex compared to a Windows app (apart from OS compatibility issues)
    I may be asking too many questions in my first post itself. However, this will help me to decide the technology for my requirement.
    Kindly request all Flex developers who has some time to spare to reply to my above post. Thanks in advance for all your vaulable inputs.
    Regards
    Sheni

    Sorry.
    I run this code only on debug-build.
    Exported release build does not reproduce the crash.
    To reproduce on release ipa package,
    change BaseView#doSomething function like this.
      public function doSomething(e:*):void
        trace("do something"); // Add this line
    Could you please try again.
    I run the app on
    iPad mini + iOS 8.1
    AIR SDK version 17.0.0  build 96
    Flash Builder 4.7

  • Flex 4 Beta 2 and Halo Panels

    Hi all.
    I'm banging my head against a wall here, and wondered if someone else could help me out!
    I'm working on a project which utilises a 3rd party open source control based on Halo Panels. It would take quite a bit of time to re-write this control to be Spark based.
    As part of the project spec, the application must be dynamically skinnable to allow easy customisation. This means the look and feel has been done mostly using embedded images within a CSS file, setting background images and other styles that support images. These can be loaded at runtime, and everyone was happy.
    Attached is a screenshot called Flex3Screenshot. This shows the look that was desired in the app : "Glossy" panel headers and a light border around the panel.
    Then, it was decided that we should be using Flex 4 Beta 2, not the previous 3.4 SDK. (The version I'm using is the standard vanilla 4.0.0.10485)
    Mostly, the transition has been OK. I've changed many controls from Halo to Spark as appropriate, but this wasn't possible with the Goozo controls, so we've had to stick with Halo panels as the containers.
    I'm now trying to bring back the old "dark" look and feel, and this is where I'm having trouble!
    I've attached a massively cut-down FlexBuilder project with a simple style sheet, a single glossy title bar image, and an MXML app with a panel in it.
    No matter what I do, I can't get the CSS to work in the same way, because the panel always has a 2 pixel wide border underneath its header. This border is made up of the panels base header colour which has the bitmap put over the top, leaving a small gap.
    I can "remove" this, by setting the baseColor property to black, but the baseColor property seems to override the borderColor property, so I don't have borders any more, which "Isn't What We Want"(tm).
    Setting the headerColors doesn't seem to work in Flex 4 (I've checked, and it works fine in Flex 3, and if it worked, I could spoof the glossy look by just setting a white to black gradient in the header colours), or set the header colour to black and overlay the image.
    I can use the nasty kludge of -theme=${flexlib}/themes/Halo/halo.swc in the command line properties, but that's like admitting defeat! (and I can't guarantee that it will always work!)
    Does anyone have any ideas? As far as I'm aware, I should be able to create an MXML skin component (as per http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/05/02/changing-the-title-bar-background-fill-on-a-spark- panel-container-in-flex-gumbo/), but as far as I know, I won't then be able to dynamically skin it with a CSS file.
    Many thanks.
    Pete

    Hi,
    Unfortunately this doesn't have anything to do with the FlexUnit code itself. These are bugs inside of the Flash Builder plugin. You may want to post on their forum as well to try to get some support.
    The only advice I can offer, is that things seem to work much better if I consistently use the Execute FlexUnit Tests, which can be found under the run button. They work much less well if I right click and tell it to execute tests.

  • Flex 3 Beta 3 FlashVars, where did they go?

    Did something change in the way FlashVars are handled in Flex
    3 Beta 3?
    I am working on an application and I need access to FlashVars
    for some functionality, yet when the application loads,
    Application.application.parameters does not get populated with any
    information.
    I have attached the snippet of code used in the HTML file.
    In the HTML source from FireBug in FireFox, the <embed> shows
    that flashVars is being passed.

    Also, when using the old fashioned <object><embed
    /></object> and appending variables onto the path of the
    file, fileName.swf?xmlPath=moo does not populate
    Application.application.parameters.

  • Migration from Flex 2 beta 3 to Flex 2

    Hi there,
    Whoever is reading this stuff, may I take an honour to notify
    you all, there are big big big changes in running a flex 2 beta 3
    applciation in compare to running a flex 2 release application.
    I am almost finish with my project now and when we ported the
    application to flex 2 release version, the application is not
    working at all. Below is the list of problems I am facing...
    1. Datagrid not at all supporting array collection anymore
    2. Tree.selectedIndex not working
    3. Drag and drop methods not supportive
    4. All UI constraints are changes...
    if anybody can answer these questions i would be
    thankful

    I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems. A few APIs
    did change from B3 to final, but you should be getting compile
    errors for those. I can assure you that all of the areas you
    mentioned were tested and are working for many folks so if you can
    supply examples of what isnt working we can try to get you back up
    and running.

  • AIR 3.4 SDK Beta with iOS6 Support is missing BETA 2 update

    We are trying to get our application that uses native extensions working with iO6 and AIR 3.4.  I can see from the website that there was an update on August 7th, and the top links show that update in the link date:
    Ie: http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashplatformruntimes/air3-4/air3-4_p2_sdk_mac_080712.tbz2
    However the links under “AIR 3.4 SDK Beta with iOS6 Support”, have  not been updated.  (And that is oviously the build we are most interested in)
    http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashplatformruntimes/air3-4/air3-4_p1_sdk_ios6_mac _071612.tbz2

    So I found the problem.   I had installed beta 1 in a folder called AIR 3.4     ...   I installed beta 2 in a folder called  AIR 3.4 Beta2      
    I did however point Flash CS6 to use the AIR 3.4 Beta2 SDK ...    it must not like something about this.   Once I deleted both SDK's and then put Beta 2 in a folder simply titled AIR 3.4 everything works again.

    Anybody has any idea how to bypass this to get this POS
    (piece of software) out of my system?

    Hi Larry,
    Thank you so much for your reply!
    I am mainly using Flash Builder Beta 2 which like I said does install fine(using the stand alone version). In code mode it does crash sometimes, but is rare, it happens now and then, but what I really want to get working is the design view. i am new to flex, and would really like this to work.
    when I go to the terminal
    java - version
    java version "1.6.0_15"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_15-b03-219)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.1-b02-90, mixed mode)
    I did install java 1.5 for CodlFusion 9, turned out that I don't need it, well I think not. I was thinking about re installing Snow Leopard to see if I could get Flex working, but I have not yet done that. I have heard that others have flash builder or flex  working in snow leopard, can you confirm this?
    My laestest error log FlashBuilder beta 2:
    http://hawaiiflash.net/flashBuilder_error.txt
    for Flex 3:
    http://hawaiiflash.net/flex3_error.txt
    also I have http://hawaiiflash.net/Flex3.txt
    now I did hear from somebody that since I have 2 different versions of java this is causing issue with Flex? should I un-install all prior versions of java and just leave the 1.6 version? I am not sure why this would cause flex to crash when in design mode?
    Thank you so much for your help, I would love to get flex working in design mode, either flex 3 or flash builder`-`

  • Uninstalling Flex 4 Beta 1

    This is my first time working with a beta copies of software. I would like to upgrade to Flex 4 Beta 2. I do not see an uninstall for Flex 4 Beta 1. Will Flex 4 Beta 2 install in the same directory as Flex 4 Beta 1?

    Are you on a Mac or PC? If on a Mac, you can look in Applications > Adobe Flash Builder Beta (or whatever your version is) > Uninstall Adobe Flash Builder Beta. Run the Uninstall from there. If you're on a PC just go to the Control Panel and uninstall using the Add/Remove Programs dialog.
    Also, Flash Builder Beta 2 will install in a separate directory than Flash Builder Beta 1, but I think they still recommend that you uninstall Beta 1 first.

  • Failed to install AIR 3.5 SDK (beta)

    Hi guys,
    I wanted to use the AIR 3.5 SDK (beta) in Flash Builder 4.7 (beta) but when I attempted to manually replace the bundled AIR SDK in Flash Builder a few of the files could not be copied due to excessive file name/path lengths. This is on Windows 7. I had to try this because there is no other way to setup AIR SDKs in Flash Builder which is really annoying... how are we supposed to use prerelease/beta AIR SDKs in Flash Builder 4.7 if we are not able to specify alternative AIR SDK locations?

    Thanks for the reply, Sunil. Here are the steps I took over time ...
    1. Downloaded and installed the 32-bit version of Flash Builder 4.7  (beta 1)
    This worked fine, I'm not sure which AIR SDK version it came bundled with but I imagine it was 3.4 (beta 1)
    2. Downloaded AIR SDK 3.4 (beta 2) and replaced the bundled Flash Builder version
    This worked fine, the files were copied over without any problems and Flash Builder was happy.
    3. Downloaded AIR SDK 3.5 (beta 1) and attempted to replace the bundled Flash Builder version
    This failed, Windows 7 complained about some "license" related file names being too long, it didn't provide the exact file names or paths though.
    As far as the installation directories go, they are the default directories ...
    Flash Builder 4.7
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7
    AIR SDK (relative to the above directory)
    \eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.345990\AIRSDK
    I think Adobe is aware that the AIR SDK 3.5 currently cannot be used with Flash Builder, the obvious solution to avoiding these problems would be to allow us to specify the location of a AIR SDK directory in Flash Builder, it was a bit silly for Adobe not to allow this really.
    Right now I'm just waiting for the next Flash Builder beta release, if there is one, to see if the AIR SDK problem has been resolved. I can continue using AIR SDK 3.4 for now but it isn't an ideal situation for me at the moment.
    Again, thanks for the reply :-)

  • Webcam not working in AIR with Flex 4.0 SDK

    Hello everybody,
    I have created an AIR application with the Flex 4.0 SDK which tries to activate a webcam. When I run the application, the webcam signalizes that it has been successfuly activated but unfortunately I do not receive a camera image, nor do I receive an activation or error event from the camera. When I change the application type to "web", everything works just fine.
    According to this thread:http://forums.adobe.com/message/2580536 , you should activate the Flex 3 compatibility mode. Unfortunately, I rely heavily on Flex 4 components which cannot be changed or removed.
    Is there a way to activate the webcam under AIR with Flex 4?
    Best regards,
    Bernd

    I used ditto on Mac. I would make a backup copy of the Flex SDK first.
    Then use ditto to update the SDK with AIR SDK.

  • Flex 3 Beta 2 Debugger Crash

    Hello,
    I'm seeing a possible memory leak within
    ImageSnapshot.captureImage() and also a debugger crash depending on
    the dpi that I pass to that function.
    This occurs while iterating over the children of a canvas,
    creating an ImageSnapshot, and writing that snapshot to a file
    while running / debugging an AIR application within Flex builder 3
    beta 2. I've attached a sample application that demonstrates 1. an
    out-of-memory error and 2. a debugger crash depending on the dpi
    that's passed to captureImage().
    1. I get an out-of-memory error #1000 when calling
    ImageSnapshot.captureImage() with a dpi that results in an image
    size of approx 5800x4400. This error occurs at random locations
    within captureImage() depending on the dpi that's passed in.
    Sometimes I can call captureImage() four times before getting out
    of memory; sometimes more, sometimes less. Is it possible to adjust
    the heap-size for an AIR application to avoid this. Could this be a
    result of a memory leak? The documents indicate that captureImage()
    should be able to produce 8kX8k images as long as they stay within
    the (256MB) size limit of ByteArray. Shouldn't I be able to write
    endless amounts of 5800x4400 images?
    2. In the sample application included here. If the dpi is set
    to 300, the app will loop four or five times and the debugger will
    then crash.
    Any help on either of the two topics above is appreciate.
    Thanks,
    Pete

    Can you please file a bug?

  • Using AIR,HTML,Flex

    I apologize I might be a little lost as I had to put a
    project down to work on another one (as often happens). I though
    that you would be able to launch flash/flex from html within the
    AIR application, I remember having this problem in early beta and
    then saying it was now fixed but for some reason it still doesn't
    seem to work ,
    has anyone gotten this to work , is there a special way or
    tag that is needed
    let give you a quick overview,
    I am using the AIR application as kind of like a viewer for
    other applications that are written in flex this allows me to
    launch multiple applications and to give a desktop option to our
    clients. however using hte iframe to view them isnt working , is it
    the iframe or just the ability to use html/flash
    Ray

    Hi,
    Flash in HTML on AIR has some limitations. The runtime cannot
    display SWF or PDF content in transparent windows.
    Take a look at this
    thread.

  • Flex 3 Beta 2 Socket question

    Hi,
    Last night I spent about 3 hours looking for problem which
    came up for me yesterday. Before I'll get back to writing sample
    app which tell me if there is a problem in my code I will ask if
    anyone has noticed this behaviour.
    I'm connecting to c# socket with Socket class. First message
    goes nicely. But when I'm trying to write next messages nothing
    happends. Messages from socket are coming all the time. The problem
    is only with writing.
    I'm using writeUTFBytes method to write. RIght after writing
    I'm executing flush() n socket.
    Is it possible it is the problem with Flex Socket in 3 Beta
    2?

    in
    http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-9947
    it is remarked that re-establishing an internet connection resolves
    the issue, but it DOES NOT!
    I still get the
    'Flex Builder cannot access the server containing the Start
    Page content.
    If you are offline, try connecting to the network and
    refreshing the Start Page.' message.
