Tried it on two different computers, same problem, no design view with the new namespace.

I’m guessing Design view does not work at all, can someone confirm please.

Thanks

I have installed gumbo and now the design mode is inactiv in flex

Have you any idea about this trouble and how to repear it?

Best Regards

Peter

After reading through the comments above and trying out various things I too still get the error:

‘This component is based on FxApplication, which is not a visual component. Switch to source mode to edit it’

I am using Flex Builder 3.0.194161 and Flex 4 SDK 4.0.0.4025. All I want to do is to use DESIGN view. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Barry.

Anyone new to the world of flex who visits this page follow the instructions, its easy and you will be happy. I didn’t realise how easy and important it is to be updating the sdk’s.

unloadAndStop() and FP10….

….SAVED MY LIFE. TY!

Now we can build multiple swf based apps easily, without the nightmare that was FP9 and AS3 combo not garbaging the unloaded swf.

I’m like so happy i want to kill myself right now. This is ecstacy!

I also updated the example code above (inline, I didn’t republish ZIPs and SWFs), so hopefully that will help.
After re-reading the example, it is important to note that with the latest Flex Gumbo SDK, you do not need to import the “mx” namespace to use the Halo components. You can use the default namespace and use the Halo Label control by typing <Label/>. If you want to use the “mx” namespace for any reason (you just like the way it looks), you can add the mx namespace and use the same namespace URL (http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009 — see my previous comment for an example), but the 2009 namespace contains both the Gumbo and Halo components.

Not sure if that made it any clearer, but yeah. Basically, both of these should work and just depends on your personal preference.
Default 2009 namespace:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009">
    <FxButton label="Gumbo Button"/>
    <Button label="Halo Button" />
</Application>

Default 2009 namespace and mx namespace:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
        xmlns:mx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009">
    <FxButton label="Gumbo Button"/>
    <mx:Button label="Halo Button" />
</Application>

Cheers.

Correct, the xmlns:mx="library:adobe/flex/halo is old and would require and older Flex Gumbo SDK to compile. If you are using a recent Flex Gumbo SDK, you’d either need to import the 2009 namespace twice (once with the “mx” prefix), or else just use <Label/> instead of <mx:Label/>.

The example on the opensource.adobe.com site is old and should be corrected for the latest Flex Gumbo SDK.

The small code snippet there has a mix of Halo and Gumbo buttons, and compiles fine for me. Perhaps my Gumbo build - 4.0.0.3827 - is newer, and contains this change to namespaces…?
