Below is an explanation of "sites" from an MM authority. The upshot is you want to have one site that corresponds to your Flex server. I have no experience with remote server setups.
******* If you have nested sites, then sometimes Flex Builder will have trouble figuring out which site a particular file corresponds to. We need this information to make sure we use the correct url prefix and testing server location when previewing or debugging the file. Each site should correspond to one context root on your server. The default installation of Flex has one context root which is just "/". So even if you have separate applications under that context root (one in the flex folder, one in the samples folder, etc.) you should still only have one FB site set up that points to the root of the context root. You would have to just work on each sub-application by opening it from its subfolder in the one site you have set up. If you have multiple context roots defined, for example if you had flex/ as a context root and samples/ as a separate context root, then you should have one site for each of these because they will have separate URL prefixes. In this case, even if they both live in the same folder you do not need a site set up for their parent folder. I hope this clears things up a bit. To answer your questions about why it sometimes puts files in the wrong location because of how your sites are set up, it's probably because you have a different "current" site set in your Files panel than the site which your open document belongs to. Let me know if you have any more questions... -Heidi -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Libby Chantel Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 8:28 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Newby: How to use "Manage Sites" I'm new to Flex and keep having trouble with the Manage Sites thing in flexbuilder, so I was hoping someone could explain how MM intended for it to be used. I am doing flex tutorials and for each new tutorial, I am forced to create a new site. Then fb doesn't seem to remember it the next time I open the tutorial. I am running flex and java on my local pc as well as saving/running my flex files on a remote java server. I was expecting that I could create a site on each machine, then choose which one to use for each new mxml file I create. Or, switch back and forth between sites wile testing the same files. How is it really supposed to be used? Thanks, Libby __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage. Do more.
