There is a keep-generated-swfs flag in the flex-config.xml that you could set and then you can simply point your browser at the SWF.  If you’re adjusting the html wrapper you can just save off a copy of the one generated for your MXML file and edit it appropriately.

 

Feel free to talk to a MM sales rep about your issue.  I’m sure someone can work with you to help provide the resources you need for an effective demo if it provides a good chance of a later worthwhile sale.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your reply!

Using the flex explorer was something I haven't thought about... it's
certainly a great and simple tool for some cases.

Now, for this particular POC I do use the proxy. Moreover, I need to
deploy it in the client's environment ( WLS on AIX ) to perform
integration tests ( consuming co-located ROs and web services ). The
one day limit is a pain in the @ but not a show killer, as I can
deploy the app minutes prior to the evaluation.
I believe there should be some way of telling flex to bypass the mxml
and go straight to the pregenerated swf's. I haven't looked into that
yet, but I'd rather ask the list as there might be associated issues
to consider.

The reason for this reluctancy to provide sources is that we are using
some inhouse integration frameworks ( Flex + Bea Portal ) that have a
lot of eingeneering, and I would like to make it as difficult as I can
for the evaluators to sniff them.

I believe this could be a common scenario...

- developers licence
- needs to deploy a poc for testing in the client's environment
- wants to protect sources

perhaps I'll file a feature request

Thanks,
-Aldo
