I am looking into using FDT (I currently use FB4), downloaded the free eclipse plugin, version 5.0, and configured it. I was trying to figure out how to compile a css to a swf file with it. This is super simple in Flash Builder, e.g. right click the css file and choose Compile CSS to SWF. I looked around and there is info on doing it via command line etc. Is there a way to do this in FDT eclipse plugin?

Eclipse has a built in functionality to find unused variables (and methods too I guess). Flash Builder 4 is built on top of Eclipse but it doens't have that functionality. Do you know any plugin to achieve that functionality? Also, if you know any other kind of plugin besides SourceMate to improve Flash Builder let me know.

Do we have to get a compatible Eclipse-FlexSDK-Flash version??
I've migrated to FDT from flashdevelop and kind of have a hard time getting things to work the way I'm used to. In Flashdevelop, you could easily choose if the compiled swf was a release or debug version. In FDT however, it seems like there is no way to compile a version that has debugging information without it automatically opening up the debug perspective with a ton of debug windows, a profiler and actually entering debug mode.
As an extra plus, I keep getting a message saying "This feature is only available in FDT Max", although from what I know the debugger is included in the free version. Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do or should I just get used to this new way of working?
How to add Flex to eclipse IDE
View 1 RepliesI am trying to learn how to use ANT to compile swfs from a Flash project written on the eclipse platform's FDT plugin...
View 3 RepliesI have the following version of eclipse
Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Indigo Service Release 2
Build id: 20120216-1857
And i have downloaded flex_sdk 4.6.My question is that how do i add this plugin for the eclipse in order to use it for flash development.
I'm getting started with Flex and initially installed the Adobe environment (Flex Builder 3) and later found out that they're starting to call it Flash Builder 4.
Anyway since I'm very new to this technology and I have to leave Flex Builder 3 anyway, I'm trying to find out if there are any advantages to developing with Adobe's Flash Builder 4 (adobe's commercial IDE) vs.Eclipse (which Adobe seems to also heavily support, they make and support a special plugin for it).
My main language is PHP so my end goal is to integrate Flex with PHP. It sounds like Adobe did a decent job with integration in the Flash Builder 4 release (you can choose a language and choose data services options, etc. which should make that integration smoother), but is that integration only available through their commercial Flash Builder 4 or is it also available through the plugin they release for Eclipse? I'm trying to get some advice from those who used the technology so I can make up my mind whether there's a lot of advantage using Adobe's commercial IDE vs. the very robust open source Eclipse IDE. Other aspects I may not have considered are also welcome.
Note: I use php without a framework, and I keep also hearing Zend from Adobe themselves, which is kind of confusing too. I guess they're using part of the zend for remoting. Does anyone know how zend will affect my flex development environment?
I have installed eclipce and I want to work with flex.I found some site (url...) where somebody said that we need to install flex sdk. And than they said that we need to open window->preferences and on left side select 'Flex'. But I don't have 'Flex' item here... What is wrong? I also installed Flash Builder trial, but it does not make any sence.
View 1 RepliesCurrently we have a large project that was created in Flash and AS3. I know that you can't really compile or build fla's with ANT. I have seen all of the flex capabilities with ANT.We want to customize our final product so that we can swap out images and color schemes (other things too) on the command line.We want to use ANT to be able to build our project and control the command line.Basically end product, the user will just tell it where the images are and only take a couple minutes.Do we have to convert our project into Flex to do this?
View 1 RepliesI m trying to install Flex Builder 3 into Eclipse 3.5.1 as a plugin on Mac 10.6.2.During the installation phase, FB3 says it only support eclipse 3.3 & 3.4. But I started the installation anyway. After the installation was done, I can't find Flex perspective from Eclipse. So I google around and found out the possible way to manually add this link file from folder "links" to point to the FB3 Plugin folder. I did that and FB perspective can be shown now. But when I try to switch to FB perspective, error occurs:[code]
View 1 RepliesI have downloaded Eclipse - Helios and it is working perfectly. I am having a little trouble understanding the Flex functionality with Eclipse. Is it possible to download a Flex plugin or whatever it is called free of charge to develop and compile mxml and actionscipt files without having to purchase FlexBuilder 3 or 4 at a price of $600. I am under the impression that Eclipse is a free download and and Flexsdk is a free download. Can't they be put together into one tool? I cant afford the $600.

View 1 RepliesThe Flex 4.1 SDK ships with OSMF 1.0. For new features, OSMF can be updated. Adding the updated osmf.swc to a Flex 4.1 project, I get error messages as soon as I add an OSMF component in my application (VideoDisplay in the sceenshot): Screenshot: [URL].png OSMF 1.5 download page According to the documentation, OSMF 1.5 should work with the Flex 4.1 SDK. Unfortunately, I have to stick to Flex 4.1 because Flash 10.1 needs to be supported (Flex 4.5 needs Flash 10.2) When I change the SDK to version 4.5, the error messages disappears and it compiles as expected. --> Is the documentation wrong about supporting Flex 4.1 or am I doing something wrong?

View 2 RepliesI am a beginner in this so I am not sure what would be better. I read that Android API is targeted towards Eclipse, however, I read that Flex allows you to use your apps on Android and iOS at once, reducing the need for two apps.
The kind of app I am building will involve reading data from the gyro, and making some calculations, then reporting it to a server.
I've used Flash and AS2 for years: I want to move over to AS3 and play with Papervision. Everyone seems to use Eclipse rather than Flash. Does anyone know where there is a SIMPLE, and I stress SIMPLE(!) tutorial to set up Eclipse for AS3 and install and get started with Papervision because so far all I can find are the most confusing and frustrating tutorials ever. I'm on the verge of giving up on this because even the set up of Eclipse seems utterly impenetrable.

View 1 RepliesI am currently using flashdevelop for my "home" work, but to be honest having gotten used to the benefits of eclipse at work i am finding flashdevelop a bit lacking. Mainly the ability to use breakpoints and watch the flash step through process by process and keep track of variables and accessible properties.
I basically want to replace flashdevelop with eclipse, (i am not using flex), and i'd like to keep the ability that flashdevelop has to integrate easily with the flash ide (for quick running of the app with ctrl enter, and also for easy integration of the flash ide's library). I am thinking maybe this isn't possible, but i hope it is because it would be an insanely good development environment.
I want to use Eclipse for FLEX development. On Eclipse download site there are quite many versions available and I am not sure which one to download and use.
