Flex 3 as CS4 development tool

January 23rd, 2009

Are you as me and using Flex as a development tool and just switched to CS4 development. Well, no problem, you can still use Flex for your coding and debugging.

First you need to download and install Gumbo for flex.
1.) Download Gumbo: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Downloads
2.) Place it inside the Flex SDK folder: /Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 3/sdks
3.) Go into the library directory: /Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 3/sdks/{sdk version}/frameworks/libs/
Remove all files except the /player/10/playerglobal.swc.
Before: flex_sdk_before After:

flex_sdk_after1

4.) Open the “flex-config.xml” in the /Applications/Adobe Flex Builder 3/sdks/{sdk version}/frameworks/ folder
Replace the text “{targetPlayerMajorVersion}” with “10″.

5.) Open/Restart Flex and add the SDK to flex: Preferences/Flex/Installed Flex SDKs
flex_add_sdk_1

6.) Create a empty ActionScript Project, In the window make sure to change the SDK (use a specific SDK).

Now you should be able to use Flex Builder as a code editor when building Flash CS4 projects. You can also look on how to develop for CS3. A tip is not to click finish, click the next button and in the field “Main source folder” enter src. Cleaner place for putting the fla & as files.

Myracer portable MF-101

January 9th, 2009

Just got hold of Myracer MF-101 that is a portable game device from South Korea (made in china) and somewhere play4u is a part of the action as well, looks like you can get a lot of new games from there (I don’t understand Korea).

The MF-101 comes with some built in applications as, Game, Movie, Music, E-book, Image Viewer and of course has some custom settings. At a first glance the device it seems very inspired from the PSP but it’s much smaller in all the ways and very light. It has 1gb inbuilt memory but has a SD-Card slot if you want to expand, must say that the USB plug is strangely placed. The whole cool thing about this portable game device is that it has a Flash Player.
