Henry,
following your instructions, I noticed these things when upgrading the
Flex SDK to 4.5:
1) lib/flexTasks.jar does not exist any more
2) the configuration of the Flex version, runtime version and path
information for playergobal.swc is spread out over a number of Java
classes, configuration files and probably other places. Is there any
list available which files need to be changed when a new Flash
version/runtime is added?
3) How is the value of
<path-element>libs/player/{targetPlayerVersion}.{targetPlayerMinorVersion}/playerglobal.swc</path-element>
set?
4) Using Flex 4.5 means, the playerglobal.swc will be 10.2, but the
generated SWF format will be Flash 11. Does that mean we should switch
the default runtime to Flash 11, or should the user be able to select
the version (10.1 or 11.0)?
Here are the things I've tried so far:
a) copy the files from the new Flex version over into the $LPS_HOME
directory structure, following the guideline file Henry created
b) Update the LPS.java player version in
WEB-INF/lps/server/src/org/openlaszlo/server/LPS.java
public static String mDefaultFlexVersion = "10.2";
c) Added the new Flex version to the list of known versions in
WEB-INF/lps/server/src/org/openlaszlo/compiler/Compiler.java:
public static List<String> KNOWN_FLEX_VERSIONS =
Arrays.asList("10.0", "10.1", "10.2");
d) Added the swf11 runtime switch in
org.openlaszlo.sc.SWF9External.java#compileTranslationUnits
if ("swf11".equals((String)options.get(Compiler.RUNTIME))) {
cmd.add("-target-player=10.2");
} else if ("swf10".equals((String)options.get(Compiler.RUNTIME))) {
if ("10.1".equals(flex_version)) {
e) LFC build folder WEB-INF/lps/lfc
In build.xml, add "11" to var swfruntimes.
The individual build shell scripts access the flex and runtime default
settings in
WEB-INF/lps/config/lps.properties
# Default runtime
compiler.runtime.default=swf11
compiler.flex_version.default=10.2
Now, when I try to build, I get the following error message when
building the LFC SWC files:
lzl:

What should I do next? I still see that the system tries to build an
LFC10SWC, not an LFC11.SWC. And the error is probably connected to an
API change for the TLF.
Any help appreciated. The runtime information is really spread out
over MANY files.
