Flex/Flash Builder development vs. others?

Generation of application Flex/Flash Builder development has one advantage over the others? The bit I picked up appears to show that it can create an Android, IOS and Blackberry app in a project (of course specific build need to be addressed). I have not seen all up-to-date ways to learn Flex via Flash Builder 4.7. Everything I find seems to be 3 to 4 years. Still working with the material, I can say that it is somewhat outdated. Understand what he does, it seems to be a good platform to learn, but I wonder why the lack of attention to the basis of learning?

Yes, everything you do in Flash can be done in the Air, most of the time with 100% of the same code. I recommend you to download FlashDevelop (its free, Windows only) and play with some examples of micro. After that, create a new project for mobile with FlashDevelop templates and reuse your code for mobile and compare the results.

It's really easy once you understand the structure of the project basis and Air vs Flash. I think that the Setup is a bit difficult to understand if you are new to this, but after awhile, it will be a piece of cake.

    Please, please, help.

    In the Flex 3 documentation for the MXMLC Compiler, the rsl-url of the option attribute is described as

    "You specify the location of the SWF file to the location of the application deployment.

    For example, if you store a file named library.swf in the web_root/libraries directory on the

    Web server and application in the root web, you specify libraries/library.swf. »

    This clearly indicates that the URL of the library is relative to the swf file.

    The documentation for the rsl-url of the runtime-shared-library-path option attribute is not so clear, however:

    "Rsl - url argument is the URL of the RSL that will be used to load the RSL during execution.
    The compiler does not check the existence of the SWF file at this location at compile time.
    It stores this string in the application, however, and he uses at run time. As a result, the
    SWF file must be available at run time, but not necessarily at compile time. »

    Obviously, both rsl-url attribute should contain a URL to the swf app and the 3.1 Flex MXMLC was store the URL as relative to the web root. I offset this in my config 3.1 files by providing a URL relative to the root, but without the leading slash (/). This bug has been fixed somewhere between 3.1 and 3.6 so my relative to the root URL were now be saved correctly, as app-parent.

    Adding a bar leading slash (/) to my relative to the root URL solves the problem.

    I know - he should be here in the first place.

  • Using Flex with flex/flash builder 3.5 3

  • Flash builder why? instead of flash professional IDE

    Sorry if I seem ignorant but most developers and businesses said it is absurd to use professional flash instewad flash builder IDE.

    I am totally ignorant and thought that flash builder was FLEX - that is to say: I have no idea how to program in flex - I can only code in AS3. I'm off track here. What is the advantage of flash builder? ALL the tutorials I've read are on flash and almost never on flash builder - am I getting confused? Generator flash everything easier ID like an environment of coding in AS3 but adding many features to mnake - IE: no difference in coding or the swf produced etc...

    In addition to what the other guys said, Flex Builder (now it is called Flash Builder), Flash IDE, FlashDevelop, FDT and other programs are just development environments that come with some additional benefits. The result is the same - swf that is no different in the heart no matter what environment you are using.

    Conceptually, you can write code in a Notepad, compiler point swf and you will get swf.

    Although the Flash IDE has improved over time as a development tool - it is not a match for environments more sophisticated such as Flash Builder or FDT and FlashDevelop. Note that other than the IDE Flash environments are based on programs that are used by the developers in other languages like Java. For example, Flash Builder is based on Eclipse. This is significant because for many reasons that Flash IDE can not live up to what more robust platforms has evolved into. Unlike the other tools and frameworks, it is very difficult (sometimes impossible) to accommodate the Flash IDE for the development of industrial power. Deployment and version control are the major headaches in the Flash IDE.

    Flex is just a library that is developed on top of AS3 the same as you build your own classes (this is statement is true 95%). Of course, as mentioned, there is an additional way based on xml to develop Flex applications, but in the end, everything is translated into AS3 and compiled. Therefore, Flex application is essentially just a Flash application (and here the word Flash is used as a name of the technology as a whole).

    If you are unsure on what to accept as main tool, remember that the Flash IDE is a tool inherited which Adobe inherited from Macromedia. With the introduction of Flex/Flash Builder Adobe clearly demonstrated a commitment to a business oriented plus technology. Latest version of Flash Builder comes with an attempt to integrate Flash IDE workflow. Basically, the only step left is some kind drag timeline environment in Flash Builder and Flash IDE did die. It is my personal opinion.

    In addition, Adobe is trying hard to integrate their products into a framework/suite so that charts are developed where more natively (Illustrator, PhotoShop, etc.) and export them to the Flash format and programming tasks are accomplished in Flash Builder. It's called Adobe Catalyst.

    I have an idea that Adobe is usually very eager to kill the Flash IDE. The only thing stopping them is, perhaps, they do not want to piss off an already agitated crowd of designers who are reluctant to adopt OOP.

    The fact is that, together with the fact that the IDE Flash is natively a very awkward tool to use for true OOP development, I would recommend to anyone to move away from Flash IDE towards something more sophisticated.

    Of course, it is sometimes necessary to use the timeline to create graphics, but with the advent of physics and 3D libraries - chronology begins to look more in more lame, even for the animations.

    In my opinion there is virtually none of the qualities of redemption in Flash IDE at this stage.

  • The Flash Builder of 4.6 to 4.7 upgrade

    Hello guys,.

    I am currently using Flash Builder develop iOS and Android application. Latest version of iOS7 has caused some problems in my application and I want to see if the Flash Builder and AIR SDKS latest version upgrade will fix itself.

    I saw this upgrade is free if I bought 4.6, which is the case. So I filled and sent this form: https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=aqd5Yq * ONlcAvnasuWDB8w #

    I then get a saying E-mail "has received your request for a free upgrade to Flash Builder 4.7." "You will receive additional information within 48 hours of the Adobe customer service."

    Then I get another saying with "this response, we believe that your problem is solved and have therefore closed your case 0211769917"

    But I have no news of an available update or something.

    Could you tell me where I can get or contact them maybe back then I can re - open the ticket?

    I think I solved this problem...

    You must verify your account 'My Adobe'. If you look under "My products", you should now have a new series of Flash Builder for the 4.7 version number.

    It does not appear that an email with a new serial number is sent.

    I hope this helps.

  • Flash Builder stops send me errors of compilation or warnings

    Hello

    I've been using Flex / Flash Builder for Flex2 and I have always had this problem.  At some point in a project of ACEs, my project just falls down and ceases to send me errors.  Then I have to get my errors when publishing in the Flash IDE, and of course, I'd rather have them in FB before hand.

    I would say that this happens in 80% of my projects HAVE, and the only way to fix it is to delete the project and start a new one with the same scripts.  Clean has no effect.  Is there a hidden file, can I delete when this product maybe something quicker than to start a new project?

    Thanks for any help.

    P.S. I'm on a MAC

    > Maybe it's NEVER worked.

    Yes, it has never worked. Flash Builder will process a file, unless it is used (directly or indirectly) by an Application, Module or Runtime CSS file.

    > Carelessly written 'sdfdsfdsfdsf' somewhere in my class should give me SOMETHING.

    Is that it is used.

  • Flash Builder 4 generation events Post?

    Hi all, is it possible to add all kind of events after generation pre/post to Flex/Flash Builder even under MS Visual Studio?  I need to copy my SWF files in my folder of Photoshop once they are built, debugging esp built.  I have a batch file to do this, but it means yet another double-click on each time I build.

    TNKS!

    You can also trigger pre/post build operations by adding a constructor to your project. Take a look at the project-> properties-> builders.

  • Flash Builder 4.7, Flex 4.9.1 and AIR 3.4 for Playbook?

  • Flex Builder 4 == Flash Builder 4

    I've seen a ton of articles discussing the decision to Adobe for renaming Flex Builder to "Flash Builder" for version 4.0 and wanted to see what you all think.

    Personally, I agree with a lot of blog comments that it's a bad move.

    Flex apps are not Flash applications (fortunately), they just happen to run into the same runtime (Flash Player). AIR applications are not Flash apps as well.

    I still think that Flex will succeed, but you all are eagerly working in Flash Builder 4?

    I hope Flex continues to succeed despite this movement.

    Honestly, I don't think that it has nothing to do with 'big picture '. It's just a strategy of marketing at low cost. I don't really like it it is called until they maintain Flex in there and don't start messing around with it (in the negative sense). If they do go crazy and decide (one day) to Flex up-side-down so I'm sure they will lose a big chunk of the existing community.

    All these changes are wrapped up in a pretty box, called: "the image of the greatest", but in reality, they only create more confusion. Instead of focusing on marketing (which is of course an aspect important also, but still, I think that they really are not planning these releases seriously) and other things that didn't matter to the people who are making money with the help of technologies provided by Adobe and at the same time, they bring money to Adobe by buying licenses and do free advertising often enough , they must work on the debugger and the things that we finally get a mature IDE for development (just to compare Visual Studio with Flex Builder - in that rhythm, when do you think that Adobe will be able to get an IDE as mature than Visual Studio and effectively?). If he sees no cela (or can't understand there is a huge need of a more effective and more mature IDE) and they will continue to put more effort into the marketing side rather than actually focusing on the needs of developers, so they're going to lose a lot in the long run.

    I'm really curious to see how the new constructor behaves (and I really hope that when they said: we will make the most efficient compiler, fix the bugs and stuff like that, they meant really; because if the new version of the generator will be just a 'brilliant on the body even old dress' with 2-3 minor corrections here and there) then I'll be very disappointed).

    Just my 5 cents.

    EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the guys at Adobe are not putting the effort in the IDE, but I think that the marketing aspects are more important that to really make the IDE works as it should. Too many releases, too many changes of names, too much nonsense that would not have the same important if they make serious measures with the IDE and reach a more decent level (I don't want to even mention the tools to draw UML diagrams for AS/Flex/AIR applications are almost nonexistent, and those that exist are a really poor quality).

  • Can you run Flex Builder 3 and Flash Builder 4 side by side?

    I have what I want, it's a relatively simple matter. Society, I am currently working a number of Flex 3 projects on track to completion or in the last part of their development, phase, but we use SVN version control. It is my understanding that while you can use Flash Builder 4 to create and/or edit and publish Flex 3 projects, once you are using FB4 on a project from version control, anyone who removes this project svn will have to FB4 allows you to change the project. Assuming that is right, can get us FB3 and FB4 installed on our desktops and switch between them according to the projects we use? We hope our developers migrate FB4 they encapsulate the development on Flex 3 projects, but we might need developers working on Flex 4 projects to help on the stages of our Flex 3 applications. Just to clarify: we are both FB3 and FB4 executable running at the same time, just the possibility of close FB4 and launch FB3 and vice versa without going through error or compile questions. We use install it standalone FB, not Eclipse plug-ins, btw.

    Yes - to my knowledge, you can have FB3 and FB4 installed on the same computer without conflict.

    Each separate default version uses the workspace, as soon as you try not to share workspaces between both versions, you should be safe.

    -Chris

  • Wait on Flash Builder 4.5 and other stuff

    Initially, I wanted to ask a question, but after trying to find information on when FB 4.5 will be communicated, I came across a little information.  I hope someone rim reads this.

    Can anyone confirm if the final FB 4.5 will allow the use of design with the libraries of qnx?  It has been said in this post, he does.

    While I was trying to find that out I came across this little nugget on Adobe 4.5 FAQ:

    Flash Builder 4.5 now requires AIR 2.6 for mobile applications. RIM plans to deliver an over-the-air update for AIR 2.6 later in 2011, allowing developers to then use Flash Builder 4.5 for PlayBook application development. This means that developers will be able to recompile applications built for Android at that time for deployment to the BlackBerry PlayBook.
    

    Anyone know when this might be?

    I am mainly interested in can quickly access my screens with actionscript, mxml and design mode and use or C++ for complicated stuff.  Currently the design mode does not work and I'd rather not have to wrap each qnx component that I want to use so it will work even in mxml.

    Currently, we have not shared a release date for future updates to the runtime LOOK on the PlayBook. I can tell you that we are working on it well.

  • Flash Builder 4.5.1 - compilation problem version release Flex Mobile

    I am building a mobile application from flex using Flash Builder 4.5.1.

  • Flex components do not work after the upgrade to Flash Builder 4

    I just bought Flash Builder 4 and imported my Flex Builder 3 project. Everything worked except my Flex components that have been created in Flash Professional using the Kit of Compoent Flex may not appear at all in my Flex application. The components have been created in Flash CS3 and published to a CFC. I even tried the upgrade to Flash Professional CS5 and publish again, but that did not help. These components work in Flex Builder 3 with Flex SDK 3.2. Anyone know why they do not appear in Flash Builder 4 with Flex SDK 4.1 and AIR 2.5 SDK? I need to work with AIR SDK 2.5 so I can compile for Android. Thank you, Ryan.

    P.S. when I say that they are not I mean that they are not visible in the currently running application. Flash Builder is find in the good SWC because I instantiate components in my mxml file and it compiles without error. -Ryan

    I downloaded the SWC and looked inside.  It is not related with Flex 4

    version of the FCC.  I think you need to check your configuration.  The CFC

    would have a substantially larger size once you get it right.
