After posting a comment on https://sourceforge.net/adobe/flexsdk/wiki/Flex%204.6/ <https://sourceforge.net/adobe/flexsdk/wiki/Flex%204.6/> and being kindly answered by Alex Harui, he directed me here to continue.
For a bunch of reason we are stuck on Flex SDK 4.6 for the forseeable future. The problem we want to fix is around chart functionality. We have implemented some charts but they are incredibly slow to initialise (10 - 30 seconds). I have seen this issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/i#browse/FLEX-33216 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/i#browse/FLEX-33216> and was hoping to apply the fix to our 4.6 SDK to see if it helps at all. *What's the best way to do this?* I was originally going to rebuild the Flex 4.6 SDK, retrofitting the modifications. However, Alex suggested swapping the charts.swc lib file. I have tried this (using 4.12 Apache SDK file) and although our main project seems to compile our test project results in the following error: [TestHealthRosterClient] No signed digest found in catalog.xml of the library, C:\Workspaces\sdks\Flex\4.6.0\frameworks\libs\charts.swc. Compile the library with -create-digest=true and try again. We are using IntelliJ to build our product. The main project did build but seemed to run equally slowly. However, I'm not entirely sure the modified swc was picked up...... -- View this message in context: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/Patching-Flex-4-6-SDK-chart-functionality-tp5527.html Sent from the Apache Flex Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
