RE: [flexcoders] Fundamental bug in FlexBuilder 1.5?

[Steven Webster]

Aral,   Long-time lurker, first-time poster... I wanted to draw your attention to an issue that I'm having with Flex Builder: Basically, the Preview/Run/Debug functionality stops working when you subclass mx.core.Application and/or mx.containers.Form in your applications. This is a known bug in Flexbuilder that was raisedup on this list when people started trying to build applications using the CairngormApplication tag that we advocated in the 0.9 release of Cairngorm.   Currently there is no workaround other that using the <mx:Application> tag if you want to work in Flexbuilder.  Macromedia are aware of the issue - we raised it and it was acknowledged as a bug.   It doesn't however mean that people will have to dump lots of code in their MXML files; using the Application tag, developers are still free to create their own ActionScript 2.0 classes, and if you don't want to import them and instantiate them within <mx:Script> blocks, you can instantiate them "MXML-fashion" using namespace declarations.    Best,   Steven   -- Steven Webster Technical Director iteration::two   This e-mail and any associated attachments transmitted with it may contain confidential information and must not be copied, or disclosed, or used by anyone other than the intended recipient(s).
