Buidling our application in Flex 4.10 written in Flex 4.6

Hi,

We have a large enterprise application running on Flex.
It was initially written in Flex 3.3 and we migrated to Flex 4.6.

Now as Flex 4.10 is available we wanted to build our application in Flex 4.10 hoping migrating from Flex 4.6 to Flex 4.10 will not lead to any unexpected issues.

Wanted to know if there are any expected migration issues.
We have few components still with a mix of mx and spark controls/containers.

Regs,
Sasi Kumar K

Hi,

Following is the error trace which is raised when a Flex chart component instance is created.
Do we need to include additionally any lib.

HI,

> a) AdvanceDatagrid header default height has reduced
These been a reasonable number of fixes to the ADG but nothing to do directly with header height that I'm aware of. Can you provide some sample code that shows the issue?

> b) Datefield defalut width has reduced and is showing only the icon and small portion of the textcontrol
The Datefield width was changed so that it correctly calculates the width based on the date format and locale you are in (it was incorrect before). What format are you using and what locale are you in?

> c) Also facing some issues with Flex charts
There has been no direct changes the charts (bug fixes or otherwise) that I'm aware of. Can you expand on this issue?

> d) Looks like mx:HBox (mx container) vertical align has been changed from 'middle' to 'top'
The default was "top" with the Adobe Flex SDK so that's not changed.

Thanks,
Justin

Hi,

We have not patched SDKs or used framework RSLs.

However we are facing some issues:

a) AdvanceDatagrid header default height has reduced
b) Datefield defalut width has reduced and is showing only the icon and small portion of the textcontrol
c) Also facing some issues with Flex charts
d) Looks like mx:HBox (mx container) vertical align has been changed from 'middle' to 'top'

Hi,

You shouldn't run into any significant issues. Have you:
a) Monkey patched the SDK?
b) Use framework RSLs?

Thanks,
Justin
