Hi Alex,
Verbose logging was the key. It turns out the JAVA_HOME environmental
variable was not set. The sdk (nightly build) downloaded successfully. I
have successfully added the sdk to Flashbuilder. I have also successfully
added the sdk to IntelliJ, using the 'Flex/Air SDK' option. So far so good
on IntelliJ.
I notice that the sdk has a folder called Examples. If I can open and place
into a browser one of the examples, for instance ChartExample, then I should
be up and running. I would appreciate it if Chris could walk me through the
'geek steps' involved in making this (I hope) final transition.
Then we'll see what this new beast can do.
Lane.

Try the nightly build. Start the installer, right-click, choose “Show Dev
Builds”. Also choose “Verbose Logging” and post the log if it fails.

Hi Alex,
I tried the 0.0.2 (with Jburg) option. Same result - it stopped after
four
boxes. The log is as follows:

The Apache FlexJS MD5 Signature of the downloaded files matches the

I gave it about 20 minutes to make sure nothing else was going to happen.
Best regards,

Lane, please try the nightly build or the 0.0.2 (with Jburg) option. If
it stops prematurely, post the log.

Hi Chris,
As per Om's suggestion, I downloaded FlexJS using the SDK Installer. It
stops after four boxes. It did that twice. Is that the full download? (I
do
recall from previous e-mails that it can be necessary in the case of the
Flex sdk to try several times, especially when you are accessing the
builds
server.)
Assuming it was the full download, I tried adding it to Flashbuilder as
an
additional sdk. It didn't recognize it as an sdk. I gather from your
note
here that I'm missing things.
If it's just a few steps of monkey see - monkey do through the 'Geek
stuff'
to get it installed, then I'd like to do it. If things remain
complicated
after installation and into programming, then I'll wait for you to push
things down.
Best regards,
Lane.

Well if you need help with that Flexmojos & Maven Geek stuff ... I'm
here
to assist you ;-)
But at the moment I do agree FlexJS IS definitely Geekstuf, but I'm
hoping
to push down the boundaries to intermediate level in the next few
weeks
:-)

Betreff: Re: Possible FlexJS Port
Hi Om,
That is truly amazing that a site with this kind of intricacy could
actually
be ported into something that would run on an iPAD Safari browser,
bypassing
the Apple AppStore.
I'm quite comfortable with pulling in screens one by one and adjusting
things until they run - that's my preferred method of development. If
there
are bugs, then I'll work around them. I'll find a way. What I'm not
sure
about is how to install the FlexJS sdk. You mentioned in your talk
that
the
sdk can be installed on Flashbuilder. You did not mention IntelliJ. I
find
IntelliJ to be superior in just about every measure. Does it work on
IntelliJ? If not, then how precisely would one install it in
Flashbuilder?
I am not at all familiar with Flexmojos or Maven or any of the
manipulations
required to work with them. That stuff is complete Greek to me.
However,
once I have an sdk installed on a system such as (hopefully) IntelliJ,
then
I'm off and running. Is there something like the Apache Flex SDK
Installer
that can download a FlexJS sdk, in the same way that one downloads
Flex
4.14.1?
Thanks in advance,
Lane.

Here is the link to the video again:

Lane, I looked at the cognitivestyles.com site. It does not look too
difficult to convert it into a FlexJS application. Although, I will
let
Alex or Peter answer this questions with more authority.
I do see that there are some audio elements used. I am not sure if
FlexJS
supports audio yet.
Best approach would be to start playing with FlexJS and get
comfortable
with getting the example apps up and running. Then, you can start
porting
the screens one by one to FlexJS. If you run into issues, you can
always
ask here. We can help answer and even better, add features to FlexJS
as
required.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Om
