Suggestions for Flex Builder for Linux

I'm new to Flex, and I have to say that I'm enjoying it quite
a lot. I think the thing that really helps speed up development is
good tools. Flex Builder 3 for Linux makes a good start at
providing a very nice development tool, but there are a couple of
things I'd like to see different with this tool.
First off, please give me an update site to use to install
Flex Builder. I use Red Hat Developer Studio (soon to be JBoss
Developer Studio, Eclipse 3.2 based), and I can't get FB 3 Alpha
for Linux to install into it. I have been successful with base
Eclipse Europa and FB 3, but I'd like to have my IDE tools in one
frame. An update site would let me add FB 3 into any Eclipse flavor
I choose, as long as it supported the appropriate components.
Next, Design mode for FB 3 is a must. I am very functional
with the content assist features in the source editor (and they are
_quite_ good, I must say), but design view really helps me preview
changes quickly and rapidly test out UI designs. Much faster than
writing and launching over and over.
Otherwise, great work, and please get out a new release
soon!

in the readme file for this application , contains how to
Creating a project in Flex Builder for the Hybrid Store

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

To enable debugging of the Hybrid Store application you must
create a copy of hybridstore.html. Open it in an editor (you can

I need to buy a license for Flex Builder 2.0 as I do?

I need to buy a license for Flex Builder 2.0 as I do?

The Airport built-in to the iMac is exactly the same standard as that used in PC's 802.11b/g compatible and possibly 802.11n as well depending on the model. It means that anywhere you use can use a PC for wireless you should be able to use the iMac. It sounds as though your wireless network is protected with a WEP Key or similar encryption method and you have not entered the correct key into the iMac when attempting to join the wireless network or have not selected the appropriate key type from the drop down list. Quite a common situation is that if your password for your wireless network is a hex key, i.e only contains the numbers 0-9 and letters A-F then you need to select WEP Hex Key as the password type when joining the wireless network not WEP Password.

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...

[svn:fx-trunk] 5386: * Fix for Flex Builder JUnit tests.

Revision: 5386 Author: [email protected] Date: 2009-03-18 08:03:11 -0700 (Wed, 18 Mar 2009) Log Message: ----------- * Fix for Flex Builder JUnit tests. tests Passed: checkintests, performance testsuite Needs QA: YES Needs DOC: NO API Change: NO Reviewer: Pete F. Code-level description of changes: compiler/CompilerAPI.java Changed the deleted Map used in validateCompilationUnits() and some of it's helper methods from <String, Source> to <QName, Source>. This allows us to track when a definition is deleted from one SWC in the library path and then added by another SWC in the library path. All the definitions dependant on the definition need to be recompiled and we were missing this before. Specifically, the Flex Builder JUnit tests were switching from airglobal.swc to playerglobal.swc midstream. As a result, we weren't recompiling classes that depended on flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer, because it looked like it hadn't been deleted.

How can we buy a license for Flex Builder 3?

We develop apps using Flex SDK 2 and it is not compatible with Flex Builder 4. Is it possible for you to provide license for Flex Builder 3?

Thanks Rob,
This may be what I'm looking for, but I don't know enough
about the difference. I guess I should have pointed out that I'm a
complete Flex Novice!
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
file, but it is not a recognized file type on my computer. I tried
double clicking it and the built-in windows services couldn't even
find a possible way to run it. Am I missing some important step?
Thanks again.

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?

Flex Builder for Linux will need his companion Thermo

I’ve been developing in Flex for a long time now. My
main work is in the design area although I do a lot of coding. The
Flex Builder Linux testing is being quite difficult, since the
layout design view is not enabled yet. So we need a lot of
imagination and a little bit of experience in AS3 and MXML tag
codding.
As a designer (and developer  ) I would like to ask
for a Thermo for Linux. It’s just a request, but I think
there are a lot of guys that share my opinion.
Thanks,

Hi, thanks for your answer.
It turned out the problem was related to the *standalone* flashplayer.
This is located in linux in:
FLEX_BUILDER_INSTALL_PREFIX/Player/linux
when I was clicking on the "Run" button Flex Builder was looking for a flashplayer standalone app, and was failing to find it.
What I had to do was to add the complete the flashplayer path to the PATH used by eclipse.
Now clicking on "Run" it compiles the application and launches the standalone player with the generated swf file.
Now I wonder if there is some way to select the flashplayer to launch, and if it is possible to configure eclipse to make it launch a browser or a custom script rather than execute that swf with the standalone player.
Thanks, regards.

I installed Flex builder 3 plugin. And registered a license

Help tool for Flex Builder 2.

Does anyone know which help authoring tool is used by Flex
Builder 2 for their Help content? Do they use RobHELP?
Thanks,
K

good to know. If I try the Beta version of Flex 3 with my
Flex 2 serial number, will I be locked into using the Beta version?
Or will I be able to upgrade to the full version Flex 3 when it is
released? Thanks in advance.

CS4 or FLEX Builder for AIR Application?

Hello,
I have installed CS4 and Flex builder 3. I would like to develop some desktop applications, which is the best editor to develop AIR application?
Thank you

I faced a similar choice recently: Flash or Flex for developing CS4 panels.
John Nack advised me to use Flex Builder. He was right. For a desktop AIR application or something like CS4 panels, the Flex Builder IDE is more powerful and helpful. If you're a developer familiar with other programming tool IDEs, like Microsoft Visual Studio, various Java IDEs, etc. then you will find the Flx Builder IDE to be more intuitive.
Flash is a good choice for developing animated SWF panels that are driving things like Flash movies. If you use Flash, you'll have to deal with the Timeline. With Flex Builder, you don't.
They both provide access to Action Script. But they expose functionality differently. Also, Flex Builder provides some data visualization tools, etc. that are not part of Flash.

AIR Extentions for Flex Builder 2

I was watching some video's on lynda.com about developing
AIR/Apollo applications with Flex, so I bought the software. One
thing it mentioned was to make sure and install the Apollo
extentions for Flex which can be found at the adobe website. I can
not find the extenions anywhere!? Can anyone point me in the right
direction as to where I can find the extentions?
Thanks in advance.
Greg

good to know. If I try the Beta version of Flex 3 with my
Flex 2 serial number, will I be locked into using the Beta version?
