It's growing pains time again. Some of our stuff requires FlashBuilder 4 and some still requires FlexBuilder 3. Both are installed OK, and no projects use both IDEs. The trouble is, when I go back to work on a FlexBuilder 3 project it takes freakin' forever to build and I get weird errors like these: This doesn't seem to cause any ide...

In the end, the application can write-out the resulting image to a PDF print file (to be purchased and sent to a printer).

I am trying to understand what is going on in a SWC that I am importing from Flash CS4 into Flex Builder 3. Specifically I am using a SWC supplied by a Designer as the animation for a custom preloader (a subclassed DownloadProgressBar). The issue I am trying to understand is, once the FlexEvent.INIT_COMPLETE is fired, I cleanup by remov...

I'm working with Flex4 and I'm trying to skin a form (add a background and a border to it, etc.) I'm trying to do it the Flex 4 way with skinClass="" <mx:Form skinClass="skins.MyFormSkin" /> but it's not accepting skinClass as a property.

Why could it be? ...
