Code hints and Design view preview missing

[Will_Law]

Using FB with Flex sdk 3.3 and AFCS SDK 0.91. I installed the
SDK per the instructions in the ACFS dev guide. I then added the
FP9 afcs.swc to my project build path and compile for fp 9.0.124



The sample apps do compile and run.



However

1. I am getting no code hinting for the acfs classes

2. IN design view, the components show as white rectangles
with red x's and obscure the flex components

3. The design view>components view, the acfs folder is
empty, while the "custom" folder is full of acfs components.



Any idea as to what might be incorrect?



Thanks,

Will

Hi Will,



I think it turns out we made a slight error in the dev guide
in the setup instructions - we mention that you should link the
AFCS source into your project in order to debug. Unfortunately this
seems to override the useful metadata baked into the SWC which
makes the SDK work with FB more seamlessly.



Advice : Remove the source path, then go to the library
path. Where you see AFCS.swc, expand it and select "source
attachment". Hit the edit button and add the source path there.
This seems to do the trick, allowing you to debug into the code
without overriding the swc itself.



We'll get the docs fixed up to reflect this better way to
set up the SDK.



thanks

You are 2 for 2 tonight. Spot on diagnosis. I had indeed
linked to the AFCS source. Unlinking + a restart of FB brought back
all that was missing.



Gracias
