Flex :: Running External Tools In Eclipse On Mac OS X?
Jun 16, 2010
I'm using Flash Builder 4 on a mac. I've created a JSFL file for building a few fla's and then testing my main SWF file. I'm trying to run this JSFL file as an external tool from Flash Builder 4 but when I select Adobe Flash CS4.app as the file to run the JSFL Eclipse warns "External tool location specified is not a file."
I have Parallels installed and if I point at a .exe file this warning goes away. Is this a bug? Why can't I use a .app as an external tool in Eclipse?

I'm having problems setting up Ant to use with Flex.I install it fine but I get this error when I try and check the install: Unable to locate tools.jar.From what I've read, I just need to point JAVA_HOME to the directory that contains the jdk. Unfortunately,I'm not sure I know which jre I'm using in Eclipse and also, I do a search for tools.jar on my machine and it's not there???I have a C:Program FilesJava directory and there is this in there:
j2re1.4.2_05
jdk1.6.0_03
jre1.6.0.23
In Eclipse --> Windows --> Preferences --Java --> Installed JREs, it's pointing to here:
eclipse-host-distro, C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Flash Builder Plug-ineclipse-host-distro
Am I not working with a full JRE?

I was asked to create a screensaver capable to run on both win and mac. I am ActionScript developer, so I prefer to solve this using Flash/SWF. I know this is possible using several tools:Projectors such as Zinc or SWF Studio (os independent, $$$)Converters creating screensavers that use the Flash Player (one converter per os necessary, requires Flash Player on user machine, freeware)Adobe Air created screensavers (os independent, requires Air on user machine, no costs)I do not have control over the machines the screensaver will run. So everything needs to be simple and safe. I would go for option 2, but I am not sure if the tools I discovered are reliable.What tool you recommend to create the screensaver descibed using existing SWF files?Is there another (single) tool to create the screensaver without using Flash/AS/SWF?

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.

There is an ongoing argument on the web right now about the "openness" of the iPhone OS and Adobe Flash platforms. Adobe's argument is that anyone can build a Flash application without having to worry about being allowed to distribute it.
This made me wonder... is it possible to build and distribute an AIR application without giving any money to Adobe (without violating any licenses, of course)? Are any of these tools free? Are any open-source?

I'm developing a Flex front end client for a Java server application and I have a set of model classes that represent objects in my business logic and should have the same properties and exhibit the same behaviour throughout all layers. These objects
-Have form validation logic for user input
-Are displayed in various forms (lists, detail views ...) throughout the UI
-Are retrieved from and sent to the server using XML or AMF
-Are validated again on the server
-Are stored in a RDBM with tables and fields corresponding to the classes and fields
This is a very common application structure, I guess. I'm already using:
ORM for the Java backend (Eclipse persistence package)
Automatic mapping from XML to Action Script, using XML schema and the classes in mx.rpc.xml, as described here.
Now, what I'd really like to do is define the objects once (I already have them in XSD) and have tools set up class stubs for the whole chain. What can I use?
I've already heard of (but not evaluated):
XMLBeans to generate Java classes from XML Schema
Granite DS to generate AS classes from Java classes

I am looking for recommendations for tools for automated testing of a web application with some flex components.To provide some background we have a web application that was entirely developed in AJAX+HTML and we were somewhat successful in using Selenium for testing that application end to end. We recently added some flex components into the mix and it got complicated. We tried using Selenium Flex but we are disappointed with what it can do. So now we are looking for some alternatives. Ideally the tool would be able to drive both the web and the flex parts simultaneously, but we can also settle for just testing the flex components on their own. We prefer open source but good commercial tool is also an option.

I've got a Flex 3 website. Unfortunately, Google Webmaster Tools lists zero keywords for my site. My site's been up for about a month. I submitted a sitemap. I've put a description and keywords metatags in the HTML wrapper.Any advise on what else I should do? Does anyone have a Flex 3 site for which Google Webmaster Tools lists keywords?

I did suppress warnings in flex compiler using "-show-binding-warnings=false". But what I am interested to achieve is to suppress run time warnings (especially binding warnings - since I am getting data in model mostly in XML structures and it is fine for me if its unable to bind to its nested child nodes) in console (I am working on flex on Eclipse with the flex plug in). Is there a way to achieve it?

I'm looking for a tool to create just the skins for different kinds of Flex 4 components.I'd like to be able to create the components myself and have the designer/artist do the skin, but I don't think they'd like the idea of doing them by writing MXML files.

I'm working with Flashpunk to make games using Flex and FlashDevelop (highly recommended, amazing lib and IDE). Since performance varies so much from system to system, I want to find where slowdowns are occurring and only fix those bits. Flashdevelop has a built in tool called Profiler, but it only shows the number of objects and the memory they are using, not the execution time. Grant Skinner wrote a great tool called PerformanceTest, but it seems suited to writing very specific optimization comparisons, not automatically profiling your code.
What I'm trying to find is a tool that will automatically analyze the program while it's running and tell me which functions are taking the longest to execute. I've heard that CS5 has this built in, but I'm wondering if there are any alternatives.

It is very simple to retrieve data from a database and display it inside a DataGrid. However, what are the current practices to push the changes in the DataGrid back to the database? One can achieve this by inserting a lot of meta information, however, it is very tedious and not reusable.

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.

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?

I 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]

I 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.

The 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?
