This question may be an absolute crap. Can i use the flex 4 sdk in flex builder 3? i have a licensed version of flex builder 3 professional. so if i need to use flex 4 sdk in it, do i need to buy flash builder? cant i get all the new components in flex builder 3?
Regards,
PK
Don't forget to set the required flash version to 10.0.0 or you will get the following:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Matrix3D.
You can use it in Flex Builder. Just download it from here. And configure it in Project->Properties->Flex Compiler - there's a button "Configure Flex SDKs...".

When i try to open my mxml script in design mode i'm always getting following message "This Component is base on VBox, which is not a visual component. Switch to source mode to edit it"
Anything wrong with my installation?
Update to Flex Builder 3.0.1 to use design mode with Flex 3.1 SDK. You can download the latest Flex Builder update at http://www.adobe.com/support/flex/downloads_updaters.html.

I recently started writing some small programs in Adobe Flash Builder Plugin for Eclipse.
I am trying out those programs by reading out the Adobe book : Training from the source.
But, I found that some of the controls mentioned in the book for some e.g, such as ApplicationControlBar doesn't appear in the Adobe Flash Builder 4. That control is mentioned in the book, but unable to find in the Builder.
What should I do ? Any suggestions ?
I suppose you've created project using Flex 4 SDK which is default in Flash Builder 4. And the book covers Flex 3. So Flash Builder created spark Application container (from Flex 4) where ApplicationControlBar isn't actual anymore and replaced with controlBarContent property which allows to skin Application more flexible way.
So I can recommend you the following 3 solutions how to use Flex 3 (to be compliant with the book) in your project:
The easiest way to switch existing Flex 4 project to use Flex 3 is the following. Open project properties then Flex compiler > Flex SDK version > Use a specific SDK and select Flex 3 SDK which should be available there. Then you need to create new application in your project, select it as default using context menu, copy old application context to the new one and delete old application file. But I suppose it is better to create new project as far as you are dealing with sample apps from the book.
So just create new Flex project and select the right SDK version on the New Project master's first page.
If you plan to use only Flex 3 for your book's playground workspace you can set Flex 3 SDK as default so you won't need to select the right version on project creation. Just go to the Preferences > Flash Builder > Installed Flex SDKs and select the default version. You can go there right from the new Flex project wizard by clicking Configure Flex SDKs…
Hope this helps!
I've never seen or heard of an ApplicationControlBox. Perhaps they were referring to the ApplicationControlBar and that it's just a typo.
Adobe has some great documentation out there on each of its packages and classes. It's a great place to start if you ever have a question about one of the components.
From which version of the Flex SDK is the Vector class available for Adobe AIR applications? I want to use a library that contains some code with Vectors. But my Flex Builder 3 (Flex SDK 3.0) doesnt seem to support it.
You can use any version above SDK v3.2 but you will have to make some changes in the project in order to target the Flash Player 10.
Try to open project properties>Flex Compiler>Adobe Flash Player Options and set version of the Flash Player as 10.0.0.
I have a Flex Builder 3.0.2. It was shipped with Flex SDK 2.0.1 and 3.2. I would like to add the new Flex SDK 3.5. I followed the documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=build_6.html#162812:
- extracted SDK 3.5
- added into my SDK list
- set to default
- restart Flex Builder
- clean project
But it's just not working. There are many functions from the documentation I can't use still (but should be available with SDK 3.5). How can I use SDK 3.5?
Thanks in advance,
Peter
Check under project properties -> Flex Compiler, that you're not compiling against a specific SDK, instead of the default one you've set.
Also you might need to target Flash Player 10, in which case you might want to look at how to do that.
I'm a little bit confused.
I want to start learn Flex3 with Eclipse and the FlexPlugin .
But I can't find the link.
Is the Standalone version of FlexBuilder free ?
How do i set up the Enviorement ?
Do i have to download the FlexBuilder ( free?)
Or do i have to download Eclipse and then add the plugin ( link ? )
Can anyone help me :(
Flex Builder Standalone will work as is just download and use, but no version of flex builder is free, you get a trail version of 30 days or so.
For Flex Builder plugin version you need to first download Eclipse from eclipse.org and then download the Flex plugin. On installation of the flex plugin, the wizard will prompt you to point it the eclipse (unzipped) location, it will take care of installing the plugins.
The plugin version is useful if you want to work on java based projects, if you just want to learn flex use Flex Builder Standalone version.
Flex Builder is not free. You can use Flash Develop together with flex sdk (both are free) to get syntax highlighting and code completion in mxml/AS files.
Actually, you can get hold of Flex Builder for free, assuming you fit into one of two categories, if you are unemployed or in education (educator or student)
See freeriatools.
Adobe Flex Builder is not free but you can download trial. Flex SDK is free though and will be enough at least for hello world examples.
