I want to know how can we integrate flex with eclipse and netbeans. I want to know steps. I want an help on this.
If you build an Eclipse RCP application, you can use an HTML widget in your UI to host/embed your Flex component.

I am very new to the flash/flex world. I am wondering if I can create a SWF in Flex WITHOUT using Flash Builder ?
Actually mxmlc.exe compiles your application (about). You can compile directly using it and passing appropriate parameters.
Also you can compile using flex ant task.
And of course you can use other IDE for compiling:
IntelliJ IDEA
FDT
FlashDevelop
But all in all, all of this tools actually use mxmlc compiler (or its variations).
Yes ! You can write ActionScript code using any editor and you can use the mxmlc command line tool. Refer here for more on mxmlc. You can also use Eclipse IDE, point it to Flex SDK and do Flex development.
Adobe Flash Builder is not a must to generate .SWFs.
A few basics:
Flash Builder is the IDE using which you'll develop applications in ActionScript (the language), taking help of the Flex framework. When you publish the application, the compiler will create an swf file which will run on Flash Player (for browser apps) and an installer file for desktop apps.
You can indeed by using:
mxmlc on the command line;
Using the mxmlc Ant task;
Using flexmojos Maven plugin.
FlashBuilder uses mxmlc to compile your Flex application. Other IDEs can also build Flex applications, such as IntelliJ IDEA.
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.
I have an J2EE Enterprise Application Project in which I would like to add a few Flex screens. How do I go about adding Flex capabilities.
I have build Flex/J2EE applications from scratch but can't think of the best way to do this.
I am currently using Flex Builder Plugin for IBM Rational Application Developer 7.5. Any idea on how to proceed.

The FB4 plugin has the ability to add different flex natures to your java project..right click on the project folder from package explorer and you should see an option Add/Change project type.
On the other hand, why would you want to use only one project both for Flex and Java? I found that is easier to work separately with them, especially if the project is large.
Can Anyone tell me the differences between Flex SDK and Flash Builder ??
Like - "Mobile development using Adobe Flex SDK "Hero" and Flash Builder "Burrito"
Are Both same ?? Please clarify in details. We understand that Flex is an IDE or SDK(software development kit ) where we build,compile and deploy projects with sets of components and class library available .
Previously it was clear that Adobe Flex builder 3 has been renamed to Adobe Flash Builder 4 like that.
I am really confused. Can anyone help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
Flash Builder Burrito is the next version of Flash Builder (formerly Flex Builder). It's an IDE used to help write Flex applications.
Flex Hero is the next version of the Flex framework. It provides the classes, components and compiler which form the building blocks of Flex applications.
Ie: You can build Flex Hero applications by writing and editing code inside Flash Builder Burrito.
Adobe Flex Builder 3 and Flash Builder 4 are graphical user interfaces, an IDE.
At the same time there are many versions of flex, for example flex builder 3 introduced flex 3 sdk and Flash Builder 4 introduced flex 4 sdk... Those frameworks are open source so u can compile and develop an app using the sdk, that is not very simple because u will need to create you source code in a plain text editor, totally manual and compile from a command line... Flash builder 4 and Flex Builder are IDE but they are not open source and aren't free, so you will have have to pay or use a student license from adobe flash plattform
How to develop and compile a Flex application without Flex Builder?
Try:
Flex 3 sdk command line development
Flex on the command line
Adobe - Coding with MXML and ActionScript
You could use Eclipse with the Flex Builder plugin. There's also FlashDevelop, but I haven't used it.
