Sounds like you guys have missed the part where the Flex API is no longer included in the Flex Viewers source code due to the new Apache licensing. you need to download the API separately and copy it into the libs folder for your project.

Ahh.. well if that is the case then they need to update the help which doesn't mention this step:
Once you have downloaded it and extracted the contents of the Zip browse to the:
arcgis_api_for_flex_2_5\ArcGIS_Flex\libs folder and copy the agslib-2.5-2011-11-30.swc.
In Flash Builder open your Flex Viewer project you imported earlier find the libs folder listed in the Package Explorer tree and paste to the libs folder.
That's it... Your ready to go.
P.S. I sure the Flex Team will get the instructions updated ASAP (remember it just came out 12/2/11 PM) and they are just human.
I understand they are human, but they can't just replace information that worked with information that doesn't work, with no way to even access the old help that did work for the last version.
@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...
@Bjorn In order to give you an answer on your question....No, I'm not..I just installed Adobe Air, dowloaded and unzipped the AppBuilder-2.5.zip file and tried to run AppBuilder.swf. I'm not so familiar with AIR appications. Btw, may I have anything else installed? How should I run it? What you mean with "...It is accessed from the Start menu..."? Fyi, I'm using Windows 7 x64 Italian
Dear all from Esri Flex team, I'm using new release with FlexBuilder 4.5.1 SDK...it runs and works fine...Just some error to fix during first compilation. It seams to be faster than previous version (2.x). 🙂
I just installed Adobe Air, dowloaded and unzipped the AppBuilder-2.5.zip file and tried to run AppBuilder.swf.
There shouldn't be an AppBuilder-2.5.zip file. The file you download should be AppBuilder-2.5.air which you then either double-click (or right-click and "Install"). This will start the installation...
Which OS and browser (and version) are you using? Maybe the browser for some reason does not recognize or keep the (air) file extension. Could you try downloading it from a different browser? Or rename your AppBuilder-2.5.zip to AppBuilder-2.5.air.
I think it's great that there is a new version of the Flex Viewer and API, but I am still developing for 2.3.1. My work load has not allowed time for upgrading. It baffles me that ESRI thinks that suddenly everyone can immediately upgrade and no one needs information that they needed the day before. (Unless I am missing something - am I?) Please provide a link to at least the previous version (2.4) of the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex web pages. Thank you.
