[flexcoders] Windows Vista & Flex

2007-02-16 Thread Bryan Clover 
Hi All,

I'm new to this group and thought I'd start a topic where people can 
post their experiences with Flex Builder 2 and Windows Vista.  Here is 
mine:

1. Upgraded from Windows XP Home to Windows Vista Business.
   Chose the upgrade path..not the full reformat and clean install.
   (I wanted to see if I could get anway with not having to install the 
   5 million apps & utilities I use. Might have been mistake #1)

2. Day 1 - Vista appeared to install and run fine. Flex Builder worked 
   okay. However it did seem to compile / debug slower.

3. Day 2 - The trouble starts!  Several times Flex Builder just freezes
   up.  I can't even use task mangager to quit the application.  I'm
   forced to do a manual reboot.  Reminds me of the old Mac crashes!
   Ek. You know this is just bad stuff!  This happened 6 times or
   so during a full day of work. Occurred when trying to SAVE WORK!
   Ironic, but saving became something I was AFRAID TO DO!

4. Day 3 - Flex Builder really acting funky now.  When I try to
   compile / debug nothing appears in Firefox but a blank white page.
   This happens every time I try to debug or run my apps.  So I reboot.
   Still nothing!  Forced to uninstall Flex Builder.

5. After uninstalling Flex Builder I re-install it.  Everything goes
   smoothly during install.  Attempt to start application and get
   funky error that refers me to an error log. I locate error log,
   read thru it, and realize I'm screwed and can't fix things.
   Uninstall and re-install multiple times.  Same deal!
   NOTE: Using trial version installer of Flex Builder 2.0.1

6. Realizing I can no longer use Flex Builder, I am forced to go
   back to Windows XP.  While I reformat my machine (which is a
   Dell Latitude D820, Dual Core, Vista Capable machine) I'll be
   pulling out my Mac Powerbook.

Recommendation: Forget Windows Vista!  Stay with XP...or even better,
just stick with the Mac in the first place!  I always use both
platforms...just because...and my Mac always comes out on top!

I'm curious to hear what other people have experienced. Please share 
your experience

[flexcoders] Compiling themes / modules / CSS using Flex Builder?

2007-03-23 Thread Bryan Clover 
Hi All,

I have been able to use the command-line compilers to compile themes, modules, 
etc.

But, I was wondering if there's a way to do this within Flex Builder?  I've 
read through the Flex 
documentation, but I can't seem to find any detailed information on how to do 
this.  Am I 
missing something?

Is it even possible? If so, can anyone point me to a step-by-step example?

Thanks in advance,
