can't compile widgets reliably

GeorgiannaStrode — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 19:33:36 GMT

I am able to compile components like MapManager.mxml and I can compile some widgets. But others I can't.

For example, I copied the widgets/Search folder to widgets/Search2 (I did not edit any of ESRI's code) and cleaned and rebuilt, and there is no .swf in the bin-debug folder. All of the untouched ESRI widgets compile fine. I referenced Search2 in my config.xml just in case that acts as a trigger of some sort.

Is there some sort of "registration" process that you have to go through to tell it to compile? If I remove everything from bin-debug and rebuild it will put the folder there and the xml file but no .swf. Just reiterating that the mxml files are unedited so there can't be any code problem.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Georgianna,

Yes you have to add the widgets mxml file to your flex projects modules list for a swf to be built. To do this right click on your flexviewer project in the package explorer window and choose properties then click flex modules and browse to the widget's mxml file and add it.

Vinay Sharma,

If after you have added streetview.mxml to your flex project modules list and it is still not getting a swf built than the reason is that there is an error in the code or your configuration that is preventing it. You need to look for errors, to do this go to the window menu and click Problems and see what is listed there.

Vinay Sharma,

So the big question is are you using FlexViewer 2.1? You can not take a widget developed for FlexViewer 2.x and use it in the Sample Flex Viewer 1.x or a non FlexViewer project there are to many dependencies that you will have to re-code.
