[flexcoders] switching from beta 3 to the real thing?
Hi all,I've been working on a fairly large application for the last months. This project is the final thing i need to do before graduation, so it's very important everything works. The deadline is next week tuesday (6 days away) and I would love to hand in a version that is final, in stead one working from the beta. But, as always with projects I have quite a list of last minute fixes that need to be done and I have no idea how much time it will take switching from beta 3 to the real deal. So the question is, how much time does it take to switch over? Are there parts of code that changed drastically, are there any area's I could expect problems? If things don't work next week it means I'll fail, won't graduate and have to do my internship all over, costing 5 months. So, I'm hesitant to jump on the boat. But man, flex 2 is tempting!

Re: [flexcoders] switching from beta 3 to the real thing?
Even without trying 2.0 final yet, I would strongly urge you not to upgrade your main flex beta environment. Install it on a separate computer, spend about and hour or two on just seeing what has changed. If it takes longer, you're probably best off not doing it. I think that's the best advice anyone here could give you. There's no way for people to tell just what minor quirk that they don't know about will really come into play in your app. On 6/28/06, Sonja Duijvesteijn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all,I've been working on a fairly large application for the last months.

We expect mid size apps to migrate costs us one or two days. Six days should be fine then. But if you don't really need it, i wouldn't take the risk of loosing 5 month. Cheers,Ralf.

Re: [flexcoders] switching from beta 3 to the real thing?
Just a couple of things:Final seems to work side by side with beta3.Final managed to switch to my beta3 workspace.All of my beta3 projects (small test projects) work with Final.I believe that there are no change log notes indicating changes between beta3 and Final. Also: there is at least one bug (the one I reported) that has been fixed in Final :)Why not install on another machine if you have one, then just see if it works? If you can spend a half day checking and maybe fixing a couple problems and you are done. If you run into trouble just go back to beta3. -- davidMany people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five. - Benjamin Franklin __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!

Done a basic risk/benefit here, and the upshot is stick with the beta :-) Upgrading to release gets you nothing, and introduces a risk you don't need, for no benefit (assuming it works OK using the beta). -- Tom Chiverton This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.

Re: [flexcoders] switching from beta 3 to the real thing?
One thing to keep in mind is that F2B3 code doesn't seem to run the same in the newly released Flash 9 Player. I just loaded up my F2B3 app with the new Flash Player and it doesn't work the same. The UI colors are off and I can't even load up all of my views in the code. So make sure you bundle the F2B3 flash installer along with your project or at least do a test to see your code renders properly in the new player.--JoshOn 6/28/06, Pan Troglodytes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Even without trying 2.0 final yet, I would strongly urge you not to upgrade your main flex beta environment.

Re: [flexcoders] switching from beta 3 to the real thing?
Custom Item renderers are a bit funky. There's a border now around the itemrenderers.Popup window syntax that worked in Beta 3 no longer compile in final release.That's two differences I found in the 5 minutes I looked at it. I'd say wait, especially since so much rides on everything working. Spend more of your time on your bugs. -Tom 2On 6/28/06, David Clark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just a couple of things:Final seems to work side by side with beta3.Final managed to switch to my beta3 workspace.All of my beta3 projects (small test projects) work with Final.I believe that there are no change log notes indicating changes between beta3 and Final.

Re: [flexcoders] switching from beta 3 to the real thing?
Thank you everyone for your insights in this. I will just stick with the beta for now and make sure to bundle it with the beta of the flashplayer when it's finished. I did expect this to be the outcome, but in a perfect world everything would still work , just better (; Just thought I'd check since it's a lot more 'future proof' if I do get it to work with the real thing.
