migrating from flex

["ilaria.scarcia" <is...@e-mentor.it>]

Hi there,
It's Ilaria, I'm new using Apache Royale.

I would like to know more about migrating an existing Flash Builder Project.
I have a complex projet using many custom mxml components and other 
third-parts libraries, so there are .mxml, .as, .swc and .swf files.

Usually I used the flash builder compiler and I don't undestand how I 
can use the royale compiler.
I have a ".actionScriptProperties" file with libraryPathEntry and also 
modules (other swf files) linked to the main application.

How can I export this project to HTML and JS files?
In your documentation on the website you say: add "+configname=flex" to 
the compiler option, can I have an example? Where should I add this line?

Maybe this information is useful: this is not a FlexJS project, but an 
ActionScript project building a Desktop Application. Could I still use 
Apache Royale to convert my project?

Thank you in advance,

Ilaria

Hi Ilaria,

You can use Flash Builder 4.7 to develop Royale projects although we recommend trying newer IDEs since they are better supported.  Older versions of Flash Builder are not supported.

I recommend making a copy of your project so you can reference the original project sources if you need to.  Then:

1) Get the latest binaries with Flash support or build it from sources from https://royale.apache.org/download/
2) Run the ant -f InstallAdobeSDKs.xml
3) Install that as a Flex SDK in Flash Builder.

If you are migrating a desktop (AIR) application, then do not add +configname=flex to the additional compiler options for your project.

You will need to change the uri for any Spark or MX components defined in your MXML files to 
				xmlns:s="library://ns.apache.org/royale/spark"
				xmlns:mx="library://ns.apache.org/royale/mx"

I don't think we've tried this in a while, so there might be some issues found.  Let us know what you get.

Thanks,
-Alex

I’m trying to understand better. Is your goal to have the migrated application run in AIR, Electron, or in a browser?

Thanks,
