Now Available - Flex Builder 2.0.1

posted Monday, 8 January 2007

Flex Builder 2.0.1 has now been released.   In addition to a myraid of bug fixes, there are a suprising number of new features available in this release, including  Macintosh support, support for runtime CSS (in the previous version, CSS styles sheets had to be compiled into the app, they can now be loaded and changed at run time), and most excitingly is the new Modules support, which allows an easier alternative to breaking up large applications into smaller components, and allowing components to be loaded into the app as they are needed.  One more feature slipped in is native support for the upcoming Apollo project.


Even though this release is numbered as if it were just a collection of minor bug fixes, this truly does represent a great step forward for Flex, and yet another very encouraging sign about Adobe's commitment to the Flash Player as the platform for Web 2.0 application development

Hi, I updated flex builder to 2.0.1 - and now I'm getting an error with the code in your training from the source book... Could you have a look and see if it's just me? If you open lesson 11 - you get this error: 1120: Access of undefined property valueObjects from this line in Cart.mxml click="outerDocument.removeItem(valueObject s.ShoppingCartItem(data));"/>

Any ideas why and how to fix? Sorry to post here :-|

The following seems to work in Cart.mxml for error "1120: Access of undefined property valueObects." that generates with the inLine <mx:component> used for creating the <mx:itemRenderer> in a DataGrid Component.

<mx:Component>

  • <mx:VBox>

    • <mx:Script>

      • <![CDATA[

        • import valueObjects.ShoppingCartItem;

      • ]]>

    • </mx:Script>

<mx:Button label="Remove" click="outerDocument.removeItem(valueObjects.ShoppingCartItem(data))"/>
  • </mx:VBox>

</mx:Component>

Cheers! Will

Will -

Just last week I submitted that identical fix to the errata site for our book. Although, it doesnt look like the errata is posted on their site yet. When its up, I would expect a link from here: http://www.peachpit.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=032142316X
