Flex Release Notes

Flex Builder 3.0.2 Release Notes

Welcome to Adobe® Flex® Builder™ 3, the Eclipse™-based IDE for Flex developers.

Note: Adobe Flex Builder 3 automatically installs both the Flex 3.2 SDK and the Flex 2.0.1 SDK (Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3).

The Flex Builder 3 download page lets you download a trial version.

For instructions on installing just Flex 3 SDK, see Flex 3 SDK Installation Instructions.

What's new

This section lists some of the major new features and changes for Flex Builder 3 . See the Flex Developer Center for more information on new features.

Native support for Adobe® AIR™ – Flex Builder 3  adds support for Adobe AIR which lets developers use their existing web development skills in HTML, AJAX, Flash, and Flex to build and deploy RIAs to the desktop. Adobe AIR features include AIR project creation and Export Release Build in AIR format.
Note: Flexbuilder 3.0.2 updates this support to AIR 1.5.

Support for Flash Player 10 – Flexbuilder 3.0.2 add support for Adobe Flash Player 10.

Productivity enhancements – Flex Builder 3 introduces refactoring support, new profilers for performance and memory tuning, and code generation tools for data access.

Integration with Creative Suite 3 – New skinning templates for Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, and Flash are available and Flex Builder 3 adds new wizards for importing assets from those CS3 applications as skins.

New wizards for accessing data on remote servers – The wizards guide you in connecting to your database and provides the choice of generating server-side PHP, Java, ColdFusion, or ASP.NET code to expose their data. The wizard also generates all of the MXML and ActionScript code necessary to power a basic Flex application that demonstrates standard CRUD operations against the data on your server using simple REST calls. You can then enhance the generated code to incorporate into your applications.

SOAP web services enhancements – Flex Builder 3 adds support for Web Services Introspection to simplify data access from web services. Using Flex Builder 3, you can introspect a WSDL and automatically generate code to allow easy invocation and handling of web service operations. In addition to providing code hinting on which methods can be called on a service, the generated code will deserialize responses into strongly typed objects for incorporation into the rest of the Flex application.

Enhanced Flex Builder Design View – The Flex Builder Design View has been enhanced to accurately preview item renderers. There are new pan and zoom tools to provide more fine-grained manipulations..

CSS Design View – The new CSS Design View allows Flex Builder users to graphically manipulate the skins and styles of Flex components. CSS Design View includes tools for specifying styles for component properties.

Flex Ajax Bridge Wizard – Flex Builder 3 provides a wizard that uses the Flex Ajax library to generate JavaScript calls into a Flex application. This allows a JavaScript developer to call in to the Flex application without needing to know the internals of the application.

  5. Add the following to the top of the file (not the bottom) and save it. 
    	-clean
  6. Launch Flex Builder or Eclipse
  7. Remove -clean after exiting Flex Builder or Eclipse

Install and Configure Flex Automated Testing

To use Flex Automated Testing, you must install Flex Builder 3 Professional. You cannot use Flex Automated Testing with only the Flex 3 SDK. If you do not have a Flex Builder Professional license, your test scripts are limited to 30 actions. If you exceed 30 actions in a test without the Professional license, you will receive a warning that your license is not present.

Flex Automated Testing SWC files are installed by default with Flex Builder 3. They are located in the /frameworks/libs directory with the other SWC files. You can begin using Flex Automated Testing and build your own custom agents without any further installation.

To use run-time automated testing (recommended):

  1. Open a command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the flex_builder_root/sdks/3.0.0/templates/automation-runtimeloading-files directory.
  3. Execute the build.bat file. This compiles the runtimeloading.mxml file into a SWF file.
  4. Copy the runtimeloading.swf and RunTimeLoading.html file to your web server. Copy the Flex application that you want to test to this server as well (the application need not be compiled with automation libraries).
  5. Request the RunTimeLoading.html file and pass your Flex application as the automationswfurl query string parameter; for example: 
    http://localhost/RunTimeLoading.html?automationswfurl=MyApp.swf

To compile your applications with static automation support:

  1. Start Flex Builder.
  2. Create a new Flex Project.
  3. Select your new Flex project in the Navigator.
  4. Select Project > Properties > Flex Compiler.
  5. In the "Additional compiler arguments" field, enter the following: 
    -include-libraries "flex_builder_dir\sdks\3.0.0\frameworks\libs\automation.swc"
 "flex_builder_dir\sdks\3.0.0\frameworks\libs\automation_agent.swc"
 "flex_builder_dir\sdks\3.0.0\frameworks\libs\qtp.swc"
 "flex_builder_dir\sdks\3.0.0\frameworks\libs\automation_dmv.swc"

    The -include-libraries compiler option is relative to the Flex Builder installation directory; the default on Windows is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\".

  6. Click the OK button to save your changes and OK to close the project Properties dialog box.
  7. Compile your Flex application.

    Examples and documentation for using custom agents can be found at Custom Agents

Flex 3 Plug-in for HP QuickTest Professional
To use Flex Automated Testing with the Flex 3 Plug-in for HP QuickTest Professional (formerly Mercury QuickTest Pro), you must perform additional steps. The rest of this section describes how to install and use the Flex 3 Plug-in for HP QuickTest Professional

Requirements for Using the QTP Plug-in
To test applications with Flex Automated Testing and the QTP agent, you must install the following:

  • Mercury QuickTest Professional 9.2 with Internet Explorer 6
  • HP (formerly Mercury) QuickTest Professional 9.5 with Internet Explorer 6 & Internet Explorer 7
  • Patch 1701 needs to be installed for Smart Identification support with Mercury QuickTest Professional 9.2
  • Mercury QuickTest Professional 9.2 is not supported with Internet Explorer 7
  • Adobe Flex 3 Plug-in for Mercury QuickTest Pro
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 6 or later
  • Flash Player ActiveX control, version 9.0.28.0 or higher

Installing the Plug-in
This section describes the steps necessary for a QC testing professional to configure QTP to work with Flex applications. You must install QTP and the plug-in.

To install QTP:

  1. Install Flash Player 9 ActiveX control (9.0.28.0 or higher) for Microsoft Internet Explorer. This is currently the only supported browser/player.
  2. Install QTP 9.1 if you do not require support for Smart Identification. If you want to use Smart Identification, install QTP 9.2 and patch 1701. You must get QTP 9.1 from Mercury.
  3. If you are using Mercury QTP on Microsoft Windows Vista you need to turn off the User Account Control (UAC) feature. Instructions to turn off UAC are available here
  4. Restart your computer.

To install the Flex 3 Plug-in for Mercury QuickTest Pro:

  1. Run the flex_builder_root/Installers/QTP_Plugin_Installer.exe.
  2. Start QTP.
  3. Close QTP.

In addition to the plug-in's DLLs and XML files, the plug-in installer includes the following in the installation directory:

  • /demo — Contains a Flash movie that describes the basics of using the plug-in. Be sure to enable audio on your computer.
  • /Uninstall Adobe Flex 3 Plug-in for Mercury QuickTest Pro — Contains the uninstaller.

Using the Plug-in

  1. Start QTP again after installing the plug-in. The Add-in Manager lists the Flex plug-in.
  2. Select the Flex plug-in in the Add-in Manager.
  3. Select New > Test and click the Record button.

NOTE: Flex application testing with QTP currently supports only Microsoft Internet Explorer with the ActiveX Flash Player.

For more information on these tasks and using QTP to test Flex applications, see Testing with QTP.

For information on the operations and properties of Flex objects in QTP, see QTP Object Type Information.

Samples for Automated Testing
Sample custom agents are available at Custom Automation Agents.

An application ready for testing with QTP can be found at Flexstore AT. This sample can be used to test if the QTP plugin installation was successful.

An example for automating custom components can be found at Automating Custom Component.

Using automation with the Adobe Flex Component Kit for Flash CS3
You can create Flex controls, containers, skins, and other assets in Flash CS3 Professional, and then import those assets into your Flex application. When you want to automate an application that uses such assets, you must include the automation_flashflexkit.swc library.

If you are using run-time loading, re-compile the runtimeloading.swf file by using the build.bat file in flex_builder_root\sdks\3.0.0\templates\automation-runtimeloading-files\. The batch file includes the necessary libraries.

If you are compiling automation support into your application, add the automation_flashflexkit.swc to your include-libraries compiler option. This is in addition to the other automation SWC files. The SWC files are located in the flex_builder_root\sdks\3.0.0\frameworks\libs directory.

Uninstalling

The procedure for uninstalling Flex Builder standalone and Flex Builder plugin are the same.

Uninstall Flex Builder 3 on Windows:

  1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel.
  2. Select Add or Remove Programs.
  3. Click the Adobe Flex Builder version to uninstall (Flex Builder, Flex Builder Plug-in only).
  4. Click the Uninstall button in the uninstaller dialog box.
  5. Click Done.

Uninstall Flex Builder 3on Mac OS X:

  1. Go to the flex_builder_root/Uninstall Adobe Flex Builder 3 folder.
  2. Double-click "Uninstall Adobe Flex Builder 3".
  3. Click the Uninstall button in the uninstaller dialog box.
  4. Click Done.

Uninstalling Flash Player
If you intend to debug your applications, use the debugger version of Flash Player that is included with either Flex Builder 3 or the Flex 3 SDK. If you are currently using a previously released Flash Player, you will need to uninstall that Player before installing the new debugger version of Flash Player.

Flash Player Uninstallation Instructions

  • If you are using Flex Builder 3, the installer tries to uninstall your old Player before installing the appropriate debug Player.

  • If you are using the Flex 3 SDK or did not install the new debug Flash Player when installing Flex Builder, use the following instructions:

Windows–Plugin-based browsers
Run the appropriate uninstaller available from this TechNote.

Macintosh
Run the appropriate uninstaller available from this TechNote.

Linux
Manual removal (for users who installed the plug-in via Install script):

  • Delete the libflashplayer.so binary and the flashplayer.xpt file in the /home//.mozilla/plugins/ directory.

RPM removal:

  • As root, enter in terminal: 
    # rpm -e flash-plugin
  • Click Enter and follow the prompts.

Compatibility issues

Using Flex Builder with Adobe AIR – If you are using Flex Builder 3 with Adobe AIR, you may encounter issues not covered in these release notes. Please take time to review the AIR release notes.

Query Builder included in the ColdFusion Extensions for Flex Builder is not supported on the Mac OS X platform.

Flex Design Extensions for CS3 - Although the Flex Component Kit for Flash is localized in Japanese, the Flex Design Extensions for CS3 are not translated.

Flex Builder database wizards – With Flex Builder database wizards you can now generate sample code that will connect to your database tables through a server technology. Java 1.5 is required to use this feature. The currently-supported platforms are

  • Java using the LiveCycle Data Services 2.5 server
  • Java using REST (XML over HTTP) transport
  • PHP using REST (XML over HTTP) transport (only for MySQL)
  • ASP.NET (C# and VBScript) using Web Services (only for SQL Server)

To run the database wizard on a project, you must have previously set the server-side language when the project was initially created (on the first page of the project wizard).

To run the database wizard on Java projects, the Eclipse Web Tools Platform project (WTP) must have been installed prior to creating the project. (See FB-9324.)

Flash Player on Mac OS X – On Mac OS X, Flash Player now looks for the mm.cfg file in your home directory(~), generally, /Users/<username>. If one is not found, it looks for mm.cfg in /Library/Application Support/Macromedia. For previous versions of Flash Player, Flash Player ignored an mm.cfg file in your home directory /Users/<username>. For some users with an mm.cfg in their home directory, tracing to the flashlog.txt file will not work.

Flex 2 Charting – You must get a separate Flex 2 Charting serial number to use Flex 2 Charting components. If you have a licensed version of Flex 2 Charting and want to use those components in Flex Builder 3, then you must do the following:

  • Copy the following line (which contains your serial number) from your Flex 2 Charting license.properties file and paste it into the Flex Builder 3 license.properties file for the SDK 2.0.1, which is located at flex_builder_root/sdks/2.0.1/frameworks/license.properties.

    charting=serial_number

  • Select the SDK 2.0.1 in Flex Builder 3 by selecting Project > Properties > Flex Compiler. Select the Use a Specific SDK option, and select Flex 2.0.1 Hotfix 3 from the drop-down list.
