I noticed that Eclipse (Flex Builder) generates hundreds of metadata files. Should I check them into my source control? They seem necessary, because if I delete them Flex Builder just opens up an empty workbench... Some of these files plainly do not belong in source control (like .history files and some cache files). If I delete them my...

Summary: The behavior detailed below seems to indicate that if your app at www.someplace.com sets/retrieves data via a SharedObject, there is some sort of .sol collision if the user hits your app at someplace.com, and then later at someplace.com?name=value. Can anyone confirm or refute this? I'm working on a Flex web app that present...
Hi, I have Flash application (main_container.swf) that loads another swf file (page1.swf). I want to dispatch an event when page1 has finished, to tell the main_container to close page1.

Is there an easy way to build projects created in FlexBuilder via the command line? I'm beginning to work on adding a couple Flex components to the project I have at work. Currently the rest of the project (some java, some C++) is built via an ant script. I'd really like to be able to integrate the builds for the Flex components I'm w...
Is there a way to add entries to FlexBuilder's build path that are relative? I'm going to have multiple projects that will use a shared codebase, but I'm having trouble getting them to reference that shared code.

In a debug flash player, I get a nice popup dialog with a stack trace when the overflow occurs: Error: Error #1023: Stack overflow occurre...
I've created an AIR application, but it uses an external SWF for extra functionality. I want that SWF to be included in the install, but currently it's not. Is there anyway I can get FlexBuilder or any other tool to include this extra file in the installer? I've tried manually adding the file (as a .air file is just a zip file in disguis...
