I just installed Flash Builder 4.5 and imported my previous Flash Builder projects that were build with Flash Builder Burrito.
I tried to run the air app project, and I got this error:
 | SDK "Flex Hero" does not exist for project "Program - Air - 0.1". |
In the package explorer I right clicked the main folder for the project, and selected properties.
In Flex Build Path, there was a reference to "unknown Flex SDK: Flex Hero"
Instead go to "Flex Compiler" and notice the erorr "Unknown Flex SDK: Flex Hero" and a drop down box for using a speciifc SDK.
I'm setting it to "Use Default SDK". After doing this, I get a warning dialog:
| Project "Program - Air - 0.1" was created with a previous version fo Flash Builder. If you save it, you will no longer be able to open this project with older versions of Flash Builder. Continue? |
Now when I try to run the app, now I get a warning about one of the libraries that is included. So I make the same change to all the other projects I imported.
When I made this change to a flash project I received this warning:
| "Warning: Because you have changed the options fo rthe HTML wrapper or the SDK version, all files in the "html-template" folder of your project will be overwritten and/or deleted" |
I then had some additional errors:
- Namespace 2.5.0 in the application descriptor file should be equal or higher than the minimum version 2.6.0 required by Flex SDK
- could not resolve \<s:MobileApplication\> to a component implementation
To solve the Namespace errors, I simply clicked on them, and changed
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.5">
to:
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.6">
then saved each of them, and the errors disappeared.
Now looking at what to do about the MobileApplication error. According to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/727620 the MobileApplication is not exposed in Flex 4.5 SDK.
According to http://www.adobe.com/products/flash-builder.html?promoid=FDUMA Flash Builder 4.5 lets me "Build applications for Android, BlackBerry Tablet OS, and iOS".
I'm going to try creating a fresh new Flex Mobile Project:
- Use default location
- Use default SDK (currently "Flex 4.5")
- Next:
- Target platforms: Google Android
- Application Template: Blank
- Permissions: INTERNET, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
- Automatically reorient: Yes
- Full screen: Yes
- Server technology application server type: None
- Add the .SWC from my library project
The new Main.mxml references s:Application.
Changing my mobile app to reference s:Application, and then embedding the \<s:View\> in the application. The app starts up on android.
The app runs... On the results display, the words for some buttons are now showing off the bottom of the button (just a few pixels of the top of the letters within the bottom of the buttons.)
Other Ideas
- Maybe I need to download an SDK and install in Flash Builder.... So: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4.5
