Flash Builder 4.5 and lccs.swc compatibility

[oferkru]

Hi,

I'm using Flash Builder 4.5 on Windows 7 trying to create a LCCS application, starting with the available LCCS examples.

I installed the LCCS SDK.

I updated to playerglobal.swc 10.3 and lccs.swc 10.3.

Flash Builder is configured to use 10.3 version.

Using Flex SDK 4.5.

Problem:

In design mode I see two problems:

1) problem 1

The XML version of design.xml and the expected XML version do not match.

Some Design Mode features will not be available for components defined within the SWC

Expected XML version : 2

Actual XML version:  Unknown

1) problem 2

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\sdks\com.adobe.lccs\libs\lccs_10_3.swc- DesignAssetLoader.CompleteTimeout

SWC file failed to load. Any component dependent on this SWC file will not be displayed in the Design Mode.

The SWC may have failed to load because of:

*  Incompatible definitions caused by usage of a different SDK version

*  Missing referred class definitions

Help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi there,

Thanks for reporting the issue.

I'll be honest, and this might be a little controversial, but I think we're

giving up on design mode support. The reason is that pretty much every

version of Flash Builder expects a different design.xml format. This would

mean, in order to support all versions, we'd have to export a new SWC for

each version of Flash Builder in use.

So, today, we ship Flex swcs for Player 9/10/10.1, a version for both Flex

and Flash-only. If we wanted Design Mode support, we'd have to ship those 3

for Flex 3/3.5/4.1/4.5/4.5.1 (just guessing here), meaning a potential 18

SWCs. It's just too much to keep up with. Considering that you can still

switch to code view and add what you need, the effort/reward level is just

too low, considering the other priorities on our plates (like recording,

10.3 AEC support, a mobile 4.5.1 SWC, etc). It's possible when we ship a

full Spark 4.5.1 SWC, this will solve your issue for now, but we can't

commit to supporting it.

hope that's understandable

Hi Nigel,

Thanks for the fast response.

I understand your point.

Just to clarify as I'm a newbee in Flash developement world,

Do you have a separate GUI WYSIWYG tools?

Or am I expected to code the GUI?

I pretty much exclusively do GUI coding in MXML, without design mode. If

you look at the sample apps in the SDK, they can help you get started.
