It seems there is a version mismatch between the Test Drive and the version of Flex Builder you are using. I'd make sure you have updated to Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 2 and if that still doesn't work, download LCDS 2.5 (from the bottom of the Hotfix 2 download page) and use the Test Drive which is included with that. I hope that helps.

I downloaded the test drive and all the samples work just dandy fine, and I can view the source etc. So I wanted to load some of the sample apps into Flex Builder so that I could modify and play with them with the debugger so as to learn more. I've tried the following: create New Project - use Flex Data Services/compile app locally Root Folder: C:\fds-tomcat\webapps\ROOT Root URL: http://localhost:8600/ROOT. When I click Finish, I get the following 3 errors in the Output panel: unable to load SWC fds.swc: multiple points unable to load SWC fds.swc: multiple points The definition of base class Locale was not found Could not resolve<mx:Application> to a component implementaion I am on Flex 2.0.143459. I've verified that fds.swc is indeed in the C:\fds-tomcat\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\flex\libs folder. I don't know what the other messages mean or what to do. I then stubbornly unzipped one of the sample apps into the FlexBuilder project folder (which I named FDS TestDrive Samples) and tried to run it anyway to see if I could get more info. I then get a browser window with the following additional errors: type Status report message /ROOT/FDS%20TestDrive%20Samples/Chat.html description The requested resource (/ROOT/FDS%20TestDrive% 20Samples/Chat.html) is not available. So I guess one problem is that it is not making an html document. But I don't know how to correct that. I have no idea what to do. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
