Loading FlexJS example

I have successfully added the FlexJS sdk to Flashbuilder. How does one load 
the ChartExample in the FlexJS examples folder into Flashbuilder 4.7 so that 
it runs?

One way that does not work. It does not work to import it as a Flash 
project.

Does one start a new mobile project and add the files? What theme does one 
use, in that case? The mobile theme? In that case, what about handling 
re-orientation events?

What precisely is necessary in order to get this example to compile 
successfully and place something into a browser?

Thanks in advance,

Lane.

These are interesting times.  FlexJS is new stuff and so yes,
documentation is hard to find or inaccurate, there are plenty of bugs,
etc.  But this is how things eventually happen.  We need folks like you
who are willing to live on the bleeding edge.  And the upside, if FlexJS
does become successful, is that you will be one of the few with experience
when it comes to competing for opportunities.

So, thank you in advance for your patience.

Thanks Alex. It used to be so easy when everyone was using Flex. You googled 
and there it always was. Now one doesn't even know where to look for any 
up-to-date answers. It's all years old. I'll peruse this link and all that's 
connected to it.

Thanks for repeating what is stated clearly elsewhere. You are very patient.

Lane.

Have you read [1]?

The key pieces are:

1) Create a new Flex web project called ChartExample that uses the FlexJS
SDK.
1a) Ignore errors after the project is generated.
2) Copy all of the files from the examples folder, replacing
ChartExample.mxml

In theory, that should create a runnable SWF.

Then, to build the JS version, use the launch configs as described in [1].
