Re: Install 4.8 with flashbuilder
Hi I downloaded flex sdk using http://people.apache.org/~bigosmallm/installapacheflex/. When creating a new project and running it through browser the .html file does not add the .swf file. It seems that due to swfobject.js file is missing the problem occurs. Any solutions.

Kenneth, Can you explain in a bit more detail what exactly the problem is when installing to the folders you mentioned? I will try to see if there are some workarounds. Feedback like yours is exactly what we need in the 'testing' phase :-) Thanks, Om
RE: Install 4.8 with flashbuilder
Kenneth - I just tried this myself. Just run the tool as admin on windows (Right Click- Run as Administrator) and you should be able to install at the C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\ location. - Shon Fernandez -Original Message- From: Kenneth Sutherland [mailto:kenn...@kennethsutherland.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 5:16 AM To: flex-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Install 4.8 with flashbuilder Thanks, I did read that, and as it says the tool will be posted once it has been tested.

Re: Install 4.8 with flashbuilder
Check out this blog post, HOW TO INSTALL APACHE FLEX 4.8.0 SDK IN FLASH
BUILDER
http://lucamezzalira.com/2012/07/24/how-to-install-flex-4-8-0-sdk-in-flash-
builder/
You can hand build you Flex SDK for FlashBuilder, you can use the AIR app,
on OSX you can use ide/flashbuilder/makeApacheFlexForFlashBuilder.sh or,
at your own risk, on Windows if you have scripting enabled and are 32-bit
you can use makeApacheFlexForFlashBuilder.bat (edit line 92 and prepend
call so it looks like call ant -f
%FLEX_HOME%/frameworks/downloads.xml).

and I¹ve run into a few issues.
Chances are high I¹m doing something silly in which case at least it
might highlight that a few more instructions are needed.
Here is what I did -
a.. went to http://incubator.apache.org/flex/ and went to the download
SDK area
b.. Downloaded the binaries for windows
c.. extracted and placed them into a folder inside the sdk¹s for
flashbuilder.
d.. added the sdk to the list of flashbuilder sdk¹s updated the
application namespace to be 3.4 inside my AIR app xml file (I thought I¹d
test out AIR 3.4 at the same time)
This resulted in errors which seem to relate to paths.
Initially it came up with something like - unable to open 'C:\Program
Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.8.0 -
Copy\frameworks\{airHome}\airglobal.swc'
So I had a look at the readme which stated that I needed to add various
environment vars etc. So I did (AIR_HOME, PIXELBENDER_HOME,
PLAYERGLOBAL_HOME, FLASHPLAYER_DEBUGGER PLAYERGLOBAL_HOME, JAVA_HOME,
ANT_HOME).
I didn¹t think this would do as the path issue was inside of Flashbuilder
(and it didn¹t) so I also updated the env-template.properties.
This then changed the errors to something like this -
unable to open 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder
4.6\sdks\4.8.0 -
Copy\frameworks\C:\AIR_3.1_SDK\frameworks\libs\air\airglobal.swc'
So as you can see its replaced the {airHome} with the correct path, but
its appended it to the SDK folder.
So what am I doing wrong, do I need get the code and compile it to get a
SDK?
The docs say its compatible with SDK 4.6.0 so I thought maybe I should
merge the 4.8 SDK folder into the 4.6 SDK (in the same way when you
update a new AIR SDK into an existing Flex SDK folder), but that didn¹t
work either.
Maybe my issue is the AIR 3.4 SDK but I don¹t think so, it seems like a
simple path issue, but I¹m not sure what.
Thanks.
