[BjornSvensson]

Compiled viewer available from http://links.esri.com/flexviewer

Source code for viewer available code gallery as well as from https://github.com/ArcGIS/ArcGISViewerForFlex/tags - to use the source code, you will also need to download the API Library separately: go to http://links.esri.com/flex, click the �??Download API Library�?� in Quick Links on the right side.

See what�??s new for Viewer at http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#/What_s_new_in_2_5_Viewer/01m3000000110... - you might have to wait 15 minutes for the server to show the "2.5" pages...

Great news and great work! Specially the reference framework for the viewer.
Chart widget also looks promising.
Will the application builder work with custom widgets? Or is there any change you can download the source code for the application builder?

Will the application builder work with custom widgets? Or is there any change you can download the source code for the application builder?

This initial release of the application builder does not support adding custom widgets using the application builder, but this functionality is planned for a future release.

However, it is possible to "manually" add custom widgets into the main configuration (just like before) and then configure the rest of the application using the application builder.

The source code for the application builder is not yet available, but it is something we are planning for future release (that would support custom widgets, localization, widget groups, etc).

Thumbs up! Important for building enterprise solutions I think.

Hi all,
I'm trying to use application builder but following installation guide it seams that something is missing.
I have Adobe Air 3.1 installed and also Flash Plugin 11.

I've copied web application under c:\Inetpub\wwroot and tried to get it from URL http://localhost/AppBuilder/AppBuilder.swf

When the application starts it shows many errors like this:
" VerifyError: Error #1014: Impossibile trovare la classe flash.events::NativeWindowBoundsEvent.
at flash.display::MovieClip/nextFrame()
at mx.managers::SystemManager/deferredNextFrame()
at mx.managers::SystemManager/preloader_preloaderDocFrameReadyHandler()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at mx.preloaders::Preloader/timerHandler()
at flash.utils::Timer/_timerDispatch()
at flash.utils::Timer/tick()
"
What I'm missing?
Any idea?

Thanks,
Andrea C.

@Andrea,
Are you trying to access the application builder, or an application created with the application builder?

The application builder is an AIR application (not a web application, but more of a "desktop" application) and thus does not run in your web browser.  It is accessed from the Start menu (or its non-English equivalent).  You should not be copying AppBuilder.swf anywhere...

Hi,

I'm using Flash Builder 4.5 and when I import the new 2.5.zip I get 78 Errors (see attached...).  I have tried with the Adobe 4.5.1 SDK and also the new 4.6 but get the same errors.  I have done this plenty of times with older versions without issues.  What am I missing?  Thanks!

I'm having the same issue as Phillip.  I have imported the source code for the viewer from the ZIP into a new Flash Project.  I am using FB 4.0.1 and the 4.1 SDK.  I am following the "Getting Started for Developers" directions here:  http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/#/Getting_started_for_developers/01m30000001q00000...

All the errors I receive are located in the Components & Managers - under com.esri.viewer.

I have had no problems using FB and the 2.3/2.3.1 & 2.4 source code.  I'm assuming that there may be some setting that could fix this?
Thanks

Thank you for switching to the Apache license and publishing the code on GitHub! I find the Apache license easier to understand, and I think the GitHub repo will make it easier to merge official updates into the modified version of the viewer we use here at the Kansas Biological Survey. I'm also excited about the opportunities for interaction and collaboration. For example, I'm now following some ESRI developers on GitHub and Twitter. 🙂

Same issue as above, imported viewer source into Flash Builder 4.5 and I'm getting 78 errors.  Same work flow worked fine with the 2.4 viewer source.  what gives?
