Let's use Flex and AIR 3.X under linux
Hi there,
I don't know if i can post it here, but i am currently using Flex 4.10 and
AIR 3.8 under Linux (with emulator and debugger !) and I just want to share
the way to do it with you. :)
The fact of being blocked with official AIR 2.6 Linux version is quite
frustrating and i tried to find a way of using Windows emulator with wine
and plug it to eclipse.
I use :
- Eclipse 3.8 for Linux - 64bits (32bits is fine too)
- fb4linux https://code.google.com/p <https://code.google.com/p/fb4linux/>
/fb4linux/ <https://code.google.com/p/fb4linux/> (seems legal)
- Flex SDK 4.X merged with Windows AIR SDK 3.X
- wine 1.6 (tested with wine 1.5 too)
- the script i made, enclosed (place it in the /bin framework folder and
chmod+x it !)
Make sure the absolute path to the project in your workspace does not
contain any special character like spaces.
You will also have to copy a folder "win" to "linux", eclipse will prompt
for it and then give you the exact path folder.
I may have forgotten extra instructions, feel free to ask if you are stuck
somewhere.
Enjoy ! :)

Hi Thomas,
I haven't tried it at all, I dont know if WINE can access to physical
devices.
It might be possible to tweak ADB (not ADL) the same way via its command
line wrapped with WINE.

H
ere it is : https://www.dropbox.com/s/8g1v3axhxjz2ekm/adl
It can be greatly improved, what it basically does is parsing args,
detecting path, *winepathing* them and then launching adl.exe througth wine.
Keep in mind that wine must be aware of any folder you use (workspace
folder, flex SDK folder).
Assign a letter with winecfg in the drive panel.

Ahh, I see.

Hi Tom,
Installer works fine indeed.
I am currently using fb4linux with 4.5 > SDK frameworks and everything is
fine.
Adobe do not supply adl for Linux with AIR SDK 3.X so I wrapped Windows ADL
with WINE.
WINE is used to tell eclipse while launching simulator, to winepath linux
project path to convert them to Windows path.
WINE will then, start Windows ADL.

Don't do this. Use the installer.
Also, fb4linux is Builder 4.5, so won't work with the updated SDKs AFAIK.
Why do you need WINE ?

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'

Buidling our application in Flex 4.10 written in Flex 4.6
Posted by Sasi Kumar K <Sa...@ramco.com>.
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.
