Updating Language reference in Tour de Flex

Hi all, this is my first post here. My question is this--How can I update the Language reference in Tour de Flex from 3.2 to 3.4? I'm using Flex Builder with 3.4 SDK loaded, I've downloaded the 3.4 lang. ref. as part of the documentation, but I can't seem to link it to Tour de Flex.
thanks,
josh

Hi Colin,
The Tour de Flex web version uses a Flex with iFrame implementation. I created it based on an original implementation by Christophe Coenraets using Flex with iFrames awhile back so I imagine it is probably a similar implementation to the Google code API you referenced since that also appears to be based on Christophe's work. However, I have been asked by many to share that piece of code and the implementation I specifically used for Tour de Flex, so I will do that in case it helps. I know that I had to jump through a lot of hoops and bug fixing to make it work right. Perhaps it could help shed some light on where to add more handling code for your specific use.
I'll try to get that out this week sometime. Feel free to contact me on twitter or my blog if you have specific questions (http://devgirl.wordpress.com) or twitter id: devgirlFL
Kind regards,
Holly

Flex Builder language reference update

I hope I can find some answers here. I have the following problem or wish ;-)
After installing/configureing flex builder 3 with the new 3.5 sdk I still have old language reference files in use. Is there a way to install a new documentationt set? if yes, how and where can I get those? I've been searching for some time now, but without success.
I know, I could download the different packages for flex, air, as3 etc, extract the asdocs and use them offline in my browser. But I'd relly like to have them included in flex builder.
Thanks in advance
Marcel

Yes, I want to be able to type something simple like "CANVAS" and have the ******* (edit: didn't know a "frig" was foul language, haha) documentation for that class come up. Is that too much to ask Adobe? I don't want 500 pages of crap tutorial help pages that happen to have the word canvas in them, just show me the class interface details!
PDF just isn't the same. I'd like to have a decent chm like the ones floating around for Java. Setting search scope doesn't help, I still seem to get crap results from a search. This should be fast and easy, type the name of the class you want details about and there it is. Right now freaking google is probably the closest thing out there but you're still dependent on the internet which has even more off topic clutter, and you have to type "flex " beforehand--lame. Has anyone figured out an easier way to do this moronicly simple task with minimal effort? We shouldn't have to hit more buttons than the number of letters in the class name + ENTER. I know, I'm picky.

Here is a link where you can download the documentation for the latest release of 4.1. Hopefully it will be updated for 4.5 soon.

Unfortunately you have to 'build it', which I have never been able to successfully do. I did find a website where some one provided a usuable copy of the latest documentation, but I can't find it anymore. From memory it was listed in a blog. But here is a download that should be very useful.

And there is a link on here for a download for version 4.5

What is the "Language Reference" difference between AS, Flash, and FLEX?

I'm fairly new to the world of Flash9 / Flex2 / ActionScript3
development environment.
As I was reading through tutorial for FLEX/AS, I was
introduced to Language Reference for FLEX 2.0.
At the same time, I noticed in FLASH9 / AS3 there is also
Language Reference page. For a moment, I thought these 2 Language
Reference shared the same API / Language components.
As I have found out, when I was looking up Language Reference
for "Button" class for FLE2.0, it provided
- mx.controls.Button
But for Language Reference for "Button" class for FLASH9 /
AS3, it provided different package
- fl.controls.Butoon
Why are there 2 sets of packages for the class Button?
Shouldn't there just be one package for class Button?
thanks,
Ming

Hello,
The names can be confusing, especially since IE identifies Flash Player as Shockwave Flash Object in 'Manage Add-ons'. They are, in fact, two different programs, as noted in your Programs and Features screenshot. Flash Player plays web content created using Flash Professional, Flex, or Flash Builder (ActionScript programming language). Adobe Shockwave Player plays web content that has been created using Adobe Director. They are not interchageable. Web content created using ActionScript requires Flash Player and web content created with Adobe Director requires Shockwave Player.

Chm - WinHelp - Flex 3 Language Reference

Hi, do you know if there is a chm (WinHelp-File) for the
the Flex 3 Language Reference around?
I know "Live Docs" and the Eclipse-Help-System.
Both systems are slow an not so comfortable to search or to
browse as the chm-file.
Yesterday I found iChm - a MAC chm reader and I really like
it. The only thing I need is
the Flex-chm.

Flex 2.0.1 Language Reference Missing

Where can we download the livedocs or view the html livedocs for the Flex 2.0.1 Language Reference? All the links on Adobe.com/macromedia.com seem to be broken. Our client is using SAP Crystal Xcelsius and it needs Flex 2 to work.
Every other documentation about Flex 2 can be found except the Flex 2 Language Reference...

Here you go: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/Flex_201_Docs.zip

Tour de Flex app and plugin crash

I launch Tour de Flex in Mac OS with latest version of AIR
installed and I get this error:
This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot
be found.
Please download the latest version of the runtime from
http://www.adobe.com/go/getair,
or contact the application author for an updated version.
Please help!
Thanks,
Ben

Weird - it doesn't require any specific version of AIR.
Are you guys running AIR 1.1 or 1.5?
Is it only when launched from Eclipse or standalone or both?

Language Reference asdocs

I find the language reference asdocs online in livedocs, but
where can I download them? I see an asdocs folder in my install
directory, but that does not contain them. I really hate having to
go online for these for four reasons:
1. Not nearly as fast as local.
2. No where near as good as search options as local.
3. The live docs will continue to be for the latest version,
but I may not be on the same version.
4. I'm not online a large amount of time, like airplanes,
etc.
Thanks,
Dale

And what if we use the Eclipse plug-in instead of
FlexBuilder? Also, the help in Eclipse for Flex all seem to point
to the web which kills points 1, 2, 4, and I'm not sure about 3.
Every other languange I've every dealt with allows download of the
docs. Why can't we simply download the docs?

Find in Language Reference - feature removed???

In Flex 3 there is Find in Language Reference option in Help menu - is there anything similar in FlashBuilder 4?
There is only Flash Builder help but It wont search the Actionscript 3 Language Reference? At least I haven't found a way yet.

A few options:
ASDoc view (Standalone: Window > ASDoc, Plug-in: Window > Show View > Other... ASDoc)
This will show ASDoc content within Flash Builder
Navigate > Open Language Reference
For built-in Flash or Flex SDK APIs, this will open Adobe Help. To open help in a browser instead, read this post http://blogs.adobe.com/jasonsj/2010/03/open_asdoc_language_reference_in_browser.html.

JavaFX Language reference Chapter 9

When will this chapter be written? As you can see it does not contain anything right now: http://openjfx.java.sun.com/current-build/doc/reference/ErrorHandling.html
h1. Chapter 9. Error Handling and Exceptions
h2. *[To do: write chapter]*

I fear the language reference haven't been updated since JavaFX 1.0... Despite the glaring holes (animation...) and now outdated information.
Looks like writing code is the current priority, which isn't a bad thing, but having to learn partial information from tutorial and various articles isn't the best thing.
Note that this chapter probably haven't much to say more than "use try/catch/finally as in Java", except the fact that there are no checked exceptions in JavaFX, ie. all catches are optional.

Downloading Tour de Flex to be used in a computer without internet connection

Hi,
I would like to download the current Tour de flex version and to use it in a development environment that has no internet connection (a dedicated computer that is always disconnected from the internet but can get external files to be installed through a CD).
I am aware of the fact that this computer will lack all the new future updates, but I can leave with that for now..
Is it possible?
If you could refere also to the option to connect it to eClips it would be the best.
Thanks a lot.

FAQ.
Annual members can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode.
From that I get that every 99 days or sooner...I will need to run a very long LAN cable.

Update ActiveX References Error

There MUST be a simple way to update ActiveX References when a third party library has been updated to a new version.
I had made up several VI's that passed the ActiveX Class Refnum around. This refnum was generated by right-clicking on a standard Automation Refnum and selecting the third party Class - (called DebenuPDFLibraryAX0913.IPDFLibrary).
I then upgraded this Third party software and changed the Refnum to the new version (DebenuPDFLibraryAX0915.IPDFLibrary) and it broke all the links with the existing VI's - fair enough.
So I tried just using the generic Automation Refnum to pass the reference around, but that doesn't recognise any of the Methods/Properties of the Class in each VI.
It seems I'm caught in a Catch-22. If I use the specific ActiveX Class version to pass around all my VI's then when I upgrade the software I have to change ALL the Automation Refnums to the new Class Value. If I try and make it generic it doesn't recognise anything in the Class.
How on earth can I just upgrade one VI with the new ActiveX class and have this new reference work for all the VI's I created in my "LabVIEW library".
The links below were in 2002 and 2006 and seem to suggest that one has to MANUALLY go around updating ALL Refnum's. I really hope there is a better way of doing this now.

Hi ChrisReed,
Unfortunately there is not a simple way to update the ActiveX References. Since you are updating the library, every reference would also need to be updated manually. There is not a tool to do this currently, but it may be worth creating a post on the LabVIEW Idea Exchange! We are always looking for new ideas to make LabVIEW an even better experience for our users. I have linked the Idea Exchange below:
