It took a bit of tinkering but I have the flex framework 2 and actionscript 3 compiling on OS X (nb. not flex builder 2 plugin). if you get all the jar files from the lib folder from the windows standalone application - you can then use mxmlc.jar from the command line or set up an ant scrip

Re: [Flashcoders] A reason to use Windows

One thing that doesn't appear to have been mentioned here is that Flex 2 doesn't include any form of server component right now. The Flex product roadmap has been significantly changed, so you will now use Flex Builder to generate .swf files completely independently of the server. Pretty much in t

Re: [Flashcoders] A reason to use Windows

I doubt very much if Macromedia sees the 8.5 release of the Flash Player for Mac as the same project as Flex Builder 2.0, so I assume they would allocate priorities and resources differently. Also, there is that java.awt / SWT threading bug that I mentioned. That would be a problem for Flex Builder

Re: [Flashcoders] A reason to use Windows

Thank you for the pointer. I spent a couple of hours last night attempting to get the Flex Builder to work on eclipse on my Mac. Later on teh Labs.Macromedia.com I found a note that the plug-in will not work on the Mac, which I can deal with, but here is the interesting

Re: [Flashcoders] A reason to use Windows

Flex 2 requires Flex Builder 2. Several parts of Flex Builder 2 rely on parts of the java.awt family of packages. There is a really nasty bug with threading on OS X whihc means that SWT and awt don't play well at all. Unfortunately the only way to fix it is at the OS level, so you have to use one

Re: [Flashcoders] A reason to use Windows

VirtualPC is your friend :-) Flex Builder 2 is eating somewhere between 300 and 400 MB of memory on my Windows XP machine though, so you might want to hold off if you don't already have VirtualPC and enough RAM. Spike On 10/17/05, Jaye Morris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Flex 2 I cannot ru

Re: [Flashcoders] A reason to use Windows
