Using FlashBuilder 4 with Flex sdk 3.5

Has anyone experianced any problems with using the new FlashBuilder 4 together with the Flex 3.5 sdk?

I have not had any issues so far in the short time I have used FB4.
I would like to use the new FB4 IDE but cant upgrade the SDK at the moment.
It will potentialy also be an environment with mixed IDEs using both FB3 and FB4.
So I am wondering if there are any known issues with the set up FB4 + sdk3.5 in general.

Flash Builder 4 with Flex SDK 4.0 for Intel App Up

There is some misinformation on Intel AppUp and the Melrose FAQ about being able to publish with Flash Builder 4.
Intel App Up Program Submission
According to http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/article/adobe-air-packaging-guide-atom-developer-progr am-submissions
"AIR app must be built using Flex Builder 3 with Flex SDK 3.5a. Currently Flex Builder 4 with Flex SDK 4 is not supported."
Melrose FAQ
According to http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/melrose/Melrose+Developer+FAQ
"Q: Are there system requirements for enabling try and buy in AIR apps using Melrose?
A: You must have Adobe Flex Builder 3 or greater and Adobe AIR 1.5.3 or greater."
Is the Intel App Up statement correct? If it is, could I get an explanation why? I've been waiting for the last 3 months waiting for the Melrose SDK to deploy to Intel App Up and now I can't even submit my application.
Thanks.

The current version of Melrose supports Flex 3.5 SDK for AIR applications running on AIR 1.5.3 runtime or higher. You can use Adobe Flex Builder 3 with Flex 3.5 SDK or Adobe Flash Builder 4 with Flex 3.5 SDK.
Support for Flex 4.1 SDK for AIR applications running on AIR 2.0 runtime should be available within a few weeks. Please note that we will not be able to support Flex 4.0 SDK because of certain technical challenges.

Is Adobe FLash builder 4.7 compatible with flex sdk 3.5?

Is Adobe FLash builder 4.7 compatible with flex sdk 3.5?

Kind of. I never actually solved the bug, but I did make it past the install.
Upon running Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Plug-in Installer it appeared to crash and only load a blank screen with a single unclickable button. It wasn't actually "hanging", and would react when I clicked on the program menu and moused over "Services". This would allow my clicks and keystrokes to register with the program, but only after I mouse over the "Services" menu item. For example, you need to click "okay", then mouse over "Services". When you want to enter text you need to click in the text box, and mouse over "Services". Then you need to type the text you want, and mouse over "Services" to see the text appear. It's a PITA, but you can get through the install by doing this.
After installing the FB plug-in starting eclipse with editors open appeared to cause errors. If this happens, this is because it seems that FB attempts to load when eclipse starts up. Close all editors and restart eclipse. The Welcome page for FB may pop open up. At the bottom there is a check box that will keep that form loading - check it. If the page does not open when eclipse starts, then open up an MXML file. The Welcome page should load, and you can check the box.
I hope this helps you move forward. Also, if you find an actual solution please let me know.

Using RoboHelp with Flex

Does anybody know how to use RoboHelp with Flex? I'm a Flex
developer and am new to RoboHelp, and am trying it out to create
some online help for my Flex application. I've searched, and also
tried a couple of tutorials, but so far I haven't found anything
about how to combine the two. Thanks.

The issue is the calling of the help from Flex so I wonder if
you might do better asking this question on the Flex forums?

'Using ColdFusion with Flex – sample does not work

Hi, I am having problems with Tom Jordahl's article on 'Using
ColdFusion with Flex – Part 1: Creating and running a contact
manager application' found on link '
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/coldfusionflex_part1_02.html'
I do not understand his instruction. In step 4, it states:
"Copy the channel definition from the example Flex
configuration files found in resources/config (default location:
C:\fds2\resources\config\). "
In that folder, I have the following files:
data-management-config.xml, messaging-config.xml, proxy-config.xml,
remoting-config.xml. So which file in this folder am I supposed to
copy from. And where am I supposed to paste it to? Is it into
WEB-INF/services-config.xml file ?
When I ran the test,
http://localhost:8700/samples/dataservice/cfcontact/contactmgr.mxml,
I get the following errors:
4 Errors found.
Error /dataservice/cfcontact/contactmgr.mxml:31
Definition samples.contact could not be found.
30: import mx.rpc.events.*;
31: import samples.contact.*;
32:
I am very new at Flex and trying hard to understand this sw.
Can someone pse help. Thanks a million.

What he means is to copy the channel section from the
C:\fds2\resources\config\services-config.xml file:

<channel-definition id="cf-dataservice-rtmp"
class="mx.messaging.channels.RTMPChannel">
<endpoint uri="rtmp://{server.name}:2048"

To the file
C:\fds2\jrun4\servers\default\samples\WEB-INF\flex\services-config.xml.
The resources directory contains just templates for

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

Compiling an existing as3 packag with flex sdk (for a flash/flex/as beginner)

Hi
I am new to flash, flex, mxml, and actionscript (with a strong background in c, python, and scheme and some background in Java, VBA, and Javascript). I have a website for which I would like to develop some simple swf content. Basically, I would like to load esri shp files at runtime (and display a series of them as an animation) using these APIs.
I have read through some flex getting started material, but I have found that there is no better way to learn a framework/language than to look at and modify existing code. Happily, I've found a sample that is both salient to my project and about the right level of complexity.
I have the Flex SDK 3 and have created some simple movies. However, I haven't managed to compile the example as3 source code to a successful swf movie. I'd like to write mxml for layout/structure and as3 for functionality, and compile with mxmlc, period. Most examples I've found use of Flex Builder, Adobe Air plugins, other IDEs, etc and so they aren't very helpful.
Here is a link to the content I'm interested in, and more importantly the as3 source packages (zip or browesable) that I'd like to compile. There are two: ManualCartogramTest.as and USStatesCartogramExample. I can use mxmlc to compile either one sucessfully, but the resulting swf file displays nothing. It seems that I should use the ManualCartogramTest class to create an instance of it, but none of my efforts have worked.
Can anyone help out? How should I generate the swf movie given one of these packages? What key piece am I missing?
Jeff
For completeness, here is another example using the shp/dbf packages (from the creator) that I just can't figure out what to do with.

1. Perhaps this wasn't the right forum.
2. I had to use set -use-network=false to enter "local-with-filesystem" mode. Unfortunately, it took a while before I finally used a flash player that told me the problem instead of silently failing. The linux standalone or linux debugger from adobe was key! Gnash, swfdec, and my firefox plugin hid the problem.

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...

Researching to use Blazeds with spring. I can use blazeds with flex builder 3.

I would like to know, If i can use balzeds 4 with flex builder 3.
I have all my applications on flex builder 3 with web services.

Overlaying AIR SDK with Flex SDK

I have noticed in the release notes for every AIR release it says to download Flex SDK 4.5.1 and the latest playerglobal.swc. Is there a reason why I should be downloading that version and not the latest (4.6)?
Also is there anything wrong with overlaying Flex 4.x and the latest AIR SDK if all I'm developing for is AIR applications?

Any issues using ALCS with Flex 4?

We're about to move some of our code base to Flex 4, and I wanted to check in advance if there would be any issues with ALCS using Flex 4 Beta 2 and Flash Builder Beta 2.
Thanks,
Rick

Hi,
If you are using player 10 ALCS swc and Whiteboard with Flex 4 and Flash Builder beta 2, it might throw an exception sometimes which has been fixed recently and will be updated in the next drop.
Player 9 ALCS swc should work fine. We haven't done testing extensively on Flex 4 for our framework, so if there are any issues that you come across, please report to us.
Thanks

How use Cookies with flex

Hi,
Can we use cookies in flex. If so, can any body give me the
sample code for that.
Thanks
Satish KC.

Rather than ordinary cookies, use Local Shared Object. It is
much more powerful than standard cookies.
I'll look for an example. What version of Flex are you using?

Using XML with Flex - Best Practice Question

Hi
I am using an XML file as a dataProvider for my Flex
application.
My application is quite large and is being fed a lot of data
– therefore the XML file that I am using is also quite large.
I have read some tutorials and looked thorough some online
examples and am just after a little advice. My application is
working, but I am not sure if I have gone about setting and using
my data provider in the best possible (most efficient) way.
I am basically after some advice as to weather I am going
about using (accessing) my XML and populating my Flex application
is the best / most efficient way???
My application consists of the main application (MXML) file
and also additional AS files / components.
I am setting up my connection to my XML file within my main
application file using HTTPService :
<mx:HTTPService
id="myResults"
url="
http://localhost/myFlexDataProvider.xml"
resultFormat="e4x"
result="myResultHandler(event)" />
and handling my results with the following function:
public function myResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
myDataFeed = event.result as XML;
within my application I am setting my variable values by
firstly delacring them:
public var fName:String;
public var lName:String;
public var postCode:string;
public var telNum:int;
And then, giving them a value by “drilling” into
the XML, E;g:
fName = myDataFeed.employeeDetails.contactDetails.firstName;
lName = myDataFeed.employeeDetails.contactDetails.lastName;
postCode =
myDataFeed.employeeDetails.contactDetails.address.postcode;
telNum = myDataFeed.employeeDetails.contactDetails.postcode;
etc…
Therefore, for any of my external (components in a different
AS file) components, I am therefore referencing there values using
Application:
import mx.core.Application;
And setting the values / variables within the AS components
as follows:
public var fName:String;
public var lName:String;
fName =
Application.application.myDataFeed.employeeDetails.contactDetails.firstName;
lName =
Application.application.myDataFeed.employeeDetails.contactDetails.lastName;
As mentioned this method seems to work, however, is it the
best way to do it??? :
- Connect to my XML file
- Set up my application variables
- Give my variables values from the XML file ……
Bearing in mind that in this particular application there are
many variable that need to be set and there for a lot of lines of
code just setting up and assigning variables values from my XML
file.
Could someone Please advise me on this one????
Thanks a lot,
Jon.

I don't see any problem with that.
Your alternatives are to skip the instance variables and
query the XML directly. If you use the values in a lot of places,
then the Variables will be easier to use and maintain.
Also, instead of instance variables, you colld put the values
in an "associative array" (object/hashtable), or in a dictionary.

Which is better frame works use along with flex

Hi,
I am developing an hospital application, mainly includes the
management of outpatients and in front end i am using flex but in
back end i did not get a clear idea about which frame work has to
use or need of a new architecture. i just need some suggestion
which of these spring,EJB 3.0 and Jboss Seam is better for back end
implementation.
Thanks and Regards
kumar

Hey kumar ,
I don't have experience with a lot of frameworks but I am
using Blaze-DS + Spring with deployed under glassfish.
I think you biggest problem here is how to make the frontend
pluggable, extensible and easy to maintain.
I do make all single screens as single modules. and each
module have it's own java class to do the work + some java classes
for general perpose.
Teh whole thing is build in ANTS and using jnit as a testing
framework for java. I don't have anything yet to do automated UI
testing.
