Anyone developing with FDT on Linux?

[Lou <lh...@gmail.com>]

Been trying to get Flex running/debugging working from FDT either in a
browser or using AIR (2.6). With AIR I get this: 

(adl:5572): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in
module_path: "oxygen-gtk",
error while loading initial content

Linux related obviously, but a little disappointed with the "detail" of
the error reporting from AIR here.

With a web project it's a more trivial problem which I can probably work
out eventually, but what's happening is my browser is downloading a swf
instead of opening it in the browser. Not really too unexpected since
there isn't any HTML wrapper file in this generated project that I can
see. I would have thought FDT would generate a wrapper like FB does, but
I guess not. 

I really want to get FDT working rather than IntelliJ (Flex is a first
class citizen with FDT).

I’m pretty sure FB copies from a template in the SDK and updates the
xmlns.  Wouldn’t surprise me if FDT does the same, but I think for recent
version of Flex other tags in the -app.xml have changed possibly in a way
that older versions may not like.

Yes that vague "error" line is what I was concerned with.  I've seen it
before with screwed up AIR config files.  I'll have to look into it further. 
I was assuming it wasn't that since the file FDT gave me started with the
correct version and I assumed the rest was fine, but that might not be a
safe assumption.  I wish AIR would be a little more specific about these
things.

Thanks for pointing out the Ant script (probably easier to boot to Windows
and grab one from FB, but let's try it the fun way first).

The oxygen-gtk might be a warning, but the last line is an error.  Often,
“initial content” errors mean that the version and/or format in the
-app.xml is not compatible with the version of AIR.  AIR 2.6 is pretty old
and the default app.xml might be newer.  Try to create a new -app.xml from
a template in the AIR 2.6 SDK.  Also make sure your Flex SDK and compiler
options are set up with a low enough swf-version for AIR 2.6.

An Ant script can prepare the HTML wrapper for you. See:

That's a warning, and shouldn't be critical.

You probably just need to train the browser to open .swf rather than 
downloading them.
