I've recently started making a game in FlexBuilder. The game is currently a Flex project. Is there any downside to using Flex as opposed to just Actionscript? A friend of a friend told me that Flex is slower than an Actionscript project. I've been unable to validate this on the internet; is there any truth to that claim?

The flex project already has login system but I want to bypass that and use the login system created in php. For testing I created a simple mxml file and one html page. Using the object tag and flashvars I passed the username and password into the swf and displayed using label. But my project is very big and want to pass username and password without using the swf of the project.
View 1 RepliesWhenever you view a flex app and go to view source you can download a zip of the flex app. Once you do that how do you import it? I went to flex>import and I get to options import archive file I pointed that to the zip and it says its not a valid archive file. so I tried the other option import flex project folder, I extracted the zip and pointed it to that and it says its not a valid project folder.

i am supposed to fix some actionscript inside a flex-project. unfortunately i only checked out flex shortly after it came out and after that never had the need to use it.
i have flashbuilder 4.5 installed.
how do i proceed?
the project consists of:
- main.mxml
- applicationContext.xml
- a build shell script
- a bunch of as source code folders
- a folder containing the assets
i do not know with which IDE the project was developed. the main interest would be to get it compiling inside flash builder
I'm having trouble getting a vertical scrollbar to appear when the browser window is smaller than the content within the .swf file that is automatically embedded into the html template that Flex creates on a release build.
I fixed this issue with Firefox and Chrome by adding a style to the html template page that the .swf is embedded in.I've even changed the fixed height of my main .mxml file to 100%.IE is still not showing vertical scrollbars when the browser window size shrinks smaller than the content inside the .swf.
We recently built a new dev server for flex builder and installed coldfusion 8. We currently have everything working on our old server using coldfusion 7. We copied the services-config.xml and our project over to the new server. It compiled fine, I updated all references to the new server. When I try to run the flex application I receive the following error:
Warning: Failed to load policy file from http://localhost/crossdomain.xml
* Security Sandbox Violation *
Connection to http://localhost/flex2gateway/ halted - not permitted from file://ourServer/folder/ourProject/bin-debug/ourProject.swf
We created a valid crossdomain.xml file on the localhost (which I wouldnt think would be necessary since everything is on the same server)

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to compile an existing Flex3 project with the Flex4 SDK. I'm getting this error:
Warning: This compilation unit did not have a factoryClass specified in Frame metadata to load the configured runtime shared libraries. To compile without runtime shared libraries either set the -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries option to true or remove the -runtime-shared-libraries option.The resulting file is roughly the same as my old Flex3 compiled .swf file. Playing the resulting .swf file in the Flash Player also gives the following errors:
An Actionscript error ocurred: VerifyError: Error #1014: Class spark.core::SpriteVisualElement could not be found If I set the compiler attribute static-link-runtime-shared-libraries to true, then the error disappears and all is well. However, the size of the resulting .SWF is a couple of 100K's bigger. And that's not what I want.
I don't fully understand the concept of runtime shared libraries, but it seems that with the option to statically link them set to true, the libraries are included in the .swf. However, I like to exclude them from the .swf and only load the needed library at runtime, as my project seemed to do with Flex3 (I didn't know that by the way).
If I understand correctly, playerglobal.swc should hold all the necessary code for the external libraries that my .swf has to load. Do Flex4 compiled files need more libraries? Should I do something with the factoryClass in the Frame metadata tag?
I think my question boils down to this: How do I compile a Flex4 .swf that is the same size as my previous Flex3 compiled .swf?
