Does anyone know where I can still download flex 3.5 sdk? I just inherited a project which was developed in flex 3.5. I am having trouble configuring flash builder 4.6 to work with it.
You can get it here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flex/sdk/flex_sdk_3.5.zip
Are you aware that latest version is 4.10? Available here: http://flex.apache.org/

I've been tasked with maintaining some existing flex 4.6 projects and am wanting to future proof them for the latest browsers. Should I move the projects over to Apache flex? If so what do I need to do to make these existing projects compatible with Apache flex?
No, you don't need to migrate these projects to Apache Flex.
Flex 4.6 projects can still be built and deployed; they just don't have the latest SDK changes. Your projects will remain compatible with future Flash Player versions.
The only reason to update to Apache Flex at this point is if you need features introduced in a later version of the Flex SDK.
Recent versions of the Apache Flex SDK have newer features, a large number of bug fixes, have been tested with the latest version of Flash Player, and in general have better performance and consume less memory than Adobe Flex 4.6.
So while Apache Flex is not required to run in the latest browsers you stil may want to consider moving to Apache Flex for these reasons.
My experience is with Flex/AIR desktop apps, I migrated using the Apache Flex installer to download latest SDK and AIR, then in the IDE you need to add the new SDK and select it. I did not had bugs or problems when I upgraded to latest versions(but you may encounter bugs or differences so you need to do some testing)
I have a strange issue with Flex 4.6 and Flash Builder 4.6
While developing mobile application - the designer bugging at some point, and stop showing the components in design mode.
How to repair this issue ?
I have reinstalled Flash Builder, probably it were some installation failure.
Now it works fine.
I am using Flex Builder with Flex SDK 3.2. It has Air 1.0. Now since Air 2 has a whole lot of features that I want to use / study, can I update the AIR version of my Flex Builder so I can build air applications that utilize the new features? I have the 3.5 and 4.0 SKDs with me.
The following tech note from Adobe, http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/495/cpsid_49532.html, will help you overlay any desired version of Adobe AIR SDK on a given Flex SDK. HTH.
I've got Flex Builder 3 running on a Mac. I'm using the Flex 3.2 SDK. I'd like to upgrade the SDK, so that I can target Flash Player 10. I've never upgraded the SDK; and I don't want to blow it and foul up my old projects.
I found this link to upgrade the SDK, but I'm not sure which version to upgrade to-- milestone, stable, or nightly. Also, which type-- Adobe Flex SDK, Open Source Flex SDK, or Adobe Add-ons. I would assume that I need the Adobe Flex SDK.
I also found this upgrade link. Should I use this version instead?
I want to keep using Flex Builder 3. I'm not ready to upgrade to Flash Builder 4, yet.
As I understand it, I download the SDK, uninstall Flash, got to Preferences->Flex->Installed SDKs and add the zip, and then re-install Flash. If I want to work on an old project, I just select the old SDK.
Thank you.

Yes Adobe Flex SDK is the one you want, a stable release. Your understanding of the installation is correct except you don't need to uninstall and reinstall Flash unless you're switching flash player versions, and unless I'm mistaken you can't select the zip without extracting it to a directory first.
I was wondering if Parsley framework is compatible for Flex Hero Mobile 4.5? I seem to get a warning saying it's not compatible.
Thanks guys
Flex 4.5 and Parsley 2.3 don't play nicely together. Grab 2.4M2 from the website and all should be fine.
See this forum post for more details.
Are you using the code? OR a SWC you downloaded from a web site? I assume the latter.
Download the code and recompile it against the Flex 4.5 SDK. There are often issues when using a SWC that is compiled against a different version of the SDK than your main application.
