Flex 2.2 Favicon

[ChristinaMcCullough]

How do you change the favicon in the Flex 2.2 version?

Christina,

  It really has nothing to do with the flex viewer. Changing the favicon is the same for any html document just modify the html document in your case the index.html and add:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.example.com/myicon.ico" />

The Flex site resides within a Word Press and stand alone.  For Flex 2.2, I only see the index.html in the bin-release folder.  I think I am missing something.

Christina,

   OK, now I am confused on what you are missing then... When you publish your FlexViewer to the web you copy the contents of the bin-release to your web folder and as you mentioned you see an index.html in that folder. The index.html is the main web document for your FlexViewer web page so if you want it to have a favorite icon than you have to add the line of html code to the header section of the index.html. If you are asking about having your development environment  where to put that line than it is in the index.template.html in the html-template folder of your FlexViewer project.

Thank you, I wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing.  Much appreciated.

Note that in Flex 3.0 and 3.6, one should add the <link...> line to the header section of the "default.html" file in the main folder of your Flex viewer.
