RE: [flexcoders] Installing Flex on windows

[John Michael Barrett]

Hi Tracy,Thank you so much`-`I un installed the other version that I had, and installed the one with the "Integrated JRun4". It now works, I was able to view the examples,and was very impressed with flex so far, It seems like flex will make working with flash forms much easier, which what I am after. I am very new to this, and just want to play with it, and to start out small and then grow from there. This is going to be fun`-`Thank you so much for your help, as I am not sure if I would have figured out what was wrong`-`JohnTracy Spratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:     Yes. Flex is a J2EE application, so it must run under some servlet container.  If you are not a J2EE guy, and don't want to become one yet, install flex using the "Integrated JRun" option.  This will give you a working Flex installation immediately.  Your access urls will be: http://localhost:8700/flex/myApp/myAppMain.mxml http://localhost:8700/samples  If/when you find you want to serve Flex from IIS, you must move to some full web server, since the integrated JRun does not support the necessary connectors.  I have come to like Tomcat as my servlet container.  It is free, fairly
 easy to set up, and seems extremely stable.  Be aware that when the Flex trial expires, it reverts to a perpetual developers license, with restricted IP access.    Flex builder does not, but will simply stop working.  You might be able to get an extension from MM.  If you can use Eclipse, you are positioning yourself well for Flex Builder 2.0 which is built on Eclipse.  Below is a list of good resources.

I downloaded Flex 1.5 & flex builder on wondows(I
 wish it was on the mac, but I guess I  will have to play with flex at work no mac version:( ), and I think that the port should be  8700, but I had no luck.  Once I create an application with flex, how can I view it on my local server? With coldfusion, I just view at: http://localhost:8500,and so I thought that: http://localhost:8700 would work, but when I looked at macromedia it says that it should be: http://localhost:8700/flex-->no luck  Is there anything that I did wrong with the download? I picked the full(none jrun) option, as I  figured I have jrun with coldfusion, and that I did not need 2 versions. Do I need jrun for flex  to work?  Thank you so much for any help that anybody could provide, John
