Is that really necessary? You can use FP 10.2, just be aware that it has not been fully tested and you may run into some issues using newer feature like mobile controls. No issues have been reported as yet. If you're on OSX look at the scripts in the ide directory checkAlPlayPlayerGlobals.sh (download and check all player globals) and setFlashPlayerVerion.sh (set Flash Player version), otherwise edit the flex-config.xml file and change the Flash Player and swf version numbers.

Hi, There's good instructions under "Using the Binary Distribution" in the README file. If you have any other questions just ask. Justin
Re: Getting source working in Flash Builder
I did use the installer. The issue is that I'm trying to use the source rather than the distribution for two reasons: 1) I wanted to look into the TLF bugs that were reported. 2) I need the Alert and ColorPicker components that's not in the 4.9 release. I tried just copying those components, but that's not working either. I'm assuming it's a namespace/package issue. Does the source need to be compiled before it can work? That doesn't make sense to me. I wonder if now would be a good time to try InteliJ IDEA...

Re: Getting source working in Flash Builder
Harbs, 2) I need the Alert and ColorPicker components that's not in the 4.9 release. If you're talking about the ones in the experimental.swc, there are in the 4.9 but you can use them with en_US only, I re-worked them in the develop branch, so if you want to use them and even to have an SDK you can use with IntelliJ, constantly updated, chekout the develop branch, do a first build, a release, use the makeApacheFlexForFlashBuilder on the released develop branch itself, not the resulting binaries. Like that you can set this fresh SDK as the SDK you use if you want to make change in the SDK, you'll have only to run the ant target corresponding to the lib you modified (and the other.locales too) and you'll be able to test it right away on your sample projects.

Okay. There's too much about the process that's kind of black magic to me. I guess after I finish getting this working I'll understand how everything ties together better. That's a good thing I guess… ;-) I was under the impression that you could link to the source files instead of the swcs. Why is the SDK libs different than regular libs?

Re: Getting source working in Flash Builder
Yes. I'm talking about experimental. I linked to the 4.9 release and s:Alert and s:ColorPicker were not available. I'm using the en_US locale.

Re: Getting source working in Flash Builder
I think theoricaly, that's could be possible, first the flex-config.xml shouldn't contain any declarations to the librairies except playerglobal, the lib folder should be emptied, you would have to create a project for each lib in your IDE, the build configuration of each one should take care of the dependecies,, may keeping an ant target for the locales... I should give a try to that at time to see if I miss something. -Fred -Message d'origine- From: Harbs Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2013 9:03 AM To: dev@flex.apache.org Subject: Re: Getting source working in Flash Builder Okay.

Re: Getting source working in Flash Builder
Yes. Very weird. I did a search, and experimental.swc is there. I tried copying it to my project libs folder, and that did not help either. When I copied the source code to my src folder, I was able to address the components in ActionScript, but not mxml. I tried creating a new Flex 4.9 project, and still nothing. I'm using FB 4.5. Could that be making a difference?

Indeed, it's not in the spark namespace yet. Try using direct namespaces.

Re: Getting source working in Flash Builder
Something is odd here. Here's the symptoms that I'm seeing: Using either Flex 4.9 or putting experimental.swc in my libs, I do not get the components in either mxml hints or ActionScript hints. If I copy the source into my source folder I get hints for spark.compenents.ColorPicker, but I don't get anything in mxml. I see this in the css file, but I'm not sure where the namespace is assigned.

Re: Getting source working in Flash Builder
I got things to work -- sort of, by copying the source and sub-classing ColorPicker to use it in mxml. Now things are totally wonky with my setup. I get the following error (5 times -- I have a main app and six modules. I have no idea which modules cause the problem.) Unable to resolve resource bundle "alert" for locale "en_US". This happens even when I go back to targeting 4.5.

Okay. I straightened this out by copying the resource bundles and updating my compiler settings. This is a pretty hacky way to get it to work, but it'll do for now… On Feb 21, 2013, at 10:05 PM, Harbs wrote: > I got things to work -- sort of, by copying the source and sub-classing > ColorPicker to use it in mxml. > > Now things are totally wonky with my setup. > > I get the following error (5 times -- I have a main app and six modules.

Re: Getting source working in Flash Builder
I'm not sure if it's my hacky setup, or this is a real bug, but I'm getting the following error: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property icon not found on spark.skins.ColorPickerButtonSkin and there is no default value. The error is in SparkSkin.as at this line: var exclusionObject:Object = this[exclusions[i]]; Line 34 in the file seems to be the problem: static private const exclusions:Array = ["icon"]; I did not see an icon property anywhere… Should I log a bug?

Re: Getting source working in Flash Builder
HI, > Using either Flex 4.9 or putting experimental.swc in my libs, I do not get > the components in either mxml hints or ActionScript hints. FB is gets this info from the "fat" swcs, swcs with ASDoc XML info in them, do you have the experimental_rb.swc file in frameworks/locale/en_US? It may be that FB is only looking at a named set of swc's in this location rather than any swc. There was some dicussion about this way back but I can't recall what FB actually does. Thanks, Justin

Yes. I have that file, but the whole file is 2KB. Opening it up shows there's not much there: experimental.properties only has the header: ## ## Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more ## contributor license agreements.

Re: Getting source working in Flash Builder
I did not read this whole thread but I will tell you what I do.
Assuming I am using the develop tree and have all my environment variables
set up correctly.
cd develop
ant
cd develop/ide/flashbuilder
ant make-sdk
In FlashBuilder
Add the develop branch as an sdk
File -> Import -> Existing Project into Workspace -> Select
develop/frameworks/projects as the root directory -> Select mx, core,
frameworks and textLayout
In your FlashBuilder project, Properties -> Flex Build Path -> Add Project
and add mx, core, frameworks and textLayout

Re: Getting source working in Flash Builder
Thank you.
I'll try this as soon as I can.
