RE: Setup for patching

Side notes for monkey patching... 1. You can use it in your regular applications to override the classes in the flex sdk. 2. You will need to keep the path of the files package. You can find this by browsing through folders or looking up its ASDOC page. A button would be listed under "spa

Re: Setup for patching

Hi, I do it in a similar (but a little simpler) way to Om. I import the Flex SDK as a single simple project (no need for multiple projects) and then set that up a Flex SDK for use by other projects. When making changes to the code I just recompile the required sub project (in framework/project

Re: Setup for patching

Sorry for the late response in this thread. Here is the way I set up my environment for working with the flex sdk. *Part 1: Set up the Flex SDK projects* 1. Check out the Flex SDK to ex. c:/flex/git/flex-sdk and TLF to c:/flex/git/flex-tlf 2. Open Flash Builder, create a new workspace 3. In t

Re: Setup for patching

If FB finds a file of the same name and in the same package (folder structure) as an existing class it will use the local file. So if you want to create or modify your own mx.controls.Alert class you would create a folder in your project's src path of "mx/controls/" and then create or copy in the

Re: Setup for patching

I guess FB needs to know the location of the file so that it can override the corresponding class in the compiled swc? I am not 100%, but it works. On Thursday, March 5, 2015, Dany Dhondt [via Apache Flex Development] < ml-node+s247n45413...@n4.nabble.com> wrote: > Thanks Kevin for this excel

Re: Setup for patching

Thanks Kevin for this excellent tip. Why do you have to copy the directory structure? Is it to preserve the package line in the class file? I'll start experimenting with these tips as soon as I feel comfortable enough with the repo :) Dany Op 5 mar 2015 om 02:09 uur uur schreef "kevin.godell"

Re: Setup for patching

@Dany I wanted to elaborate further on what Alex mentioned about adding a source path for working on patches. For example, I just found a problem and wanted to make some quick edits to see if I could fix ArrayList.as. So, I found the file in the sdk, making note of the directory structure. I copi

Re: Setup for patching

Congratulations! FWIW, for some (not all) code changes, you can try setting the source-path to the src folder of a folder in frameworks/projects. Or you can make your own folder tree in your project’s source folder and make changes there. Source-path is always supposed to override library-path

Re: Setup for patching

Mind you, mx::Alert was only an example, but: Your test project should use the SDK from the git repo. You should only edit files in the SDK from the git repo. That way, after you edit and re-build the SWC, your test project will pick up the changes. HTH, EdB On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 12:21 PM, D

Re: Setup for patching

There is no need to run the whole build again, just the project you're working on. So, if you're making changes to the mx::Alert component, you'd only re-build "/frameworks/projects/mx". You can do this by pointing your Terminal at that directory and execute 'ant main'. This will rebuild the projec

Hi Dany, Great to see you give this a go. To get started, you have to: - follow the instructions in the README to 'build the SDK from source': this will build the SWCs that actually make up the SDK that FB uses - once complete, the SDK is ready to use in FB. In the preferences, add the SDK to th
