Robot Legs/FlashBuilder 4
I tried downloading the zip file for the helloworld code yesterday.
Then I downloaded the latest source for robotlegs out of git, and built it with Maven, to generate the swf for the framework.
Then I changed the build path to reference that version of the swf.
But unfortunately Flash Builder 4 can't seem to detect the Context class. I'm a bit confused to these messages, because the org.robotlegs.mvcs.Context is clearly in the source folder and the startup method that the IDE also complains about is in that class.
What am I doing wrong?

I managed to overcome that problem.. But now have another.
I tweaked the RobotLegs build path, per the attached screenshot.
But then hit an obstacle with:
The style 'borderThickness' is only supported by type 'mx.containers.Form' with the theme(s) 'halo'. LoginPage.mxml /robotlegs-demos-HelloFlex/src/org/robotlegs/demos/helloflex/view line 25 Flex Problem

I've also tried adding the halo.swc file to my project
Per the docs here:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=styles_12.html
See attachment - I'm still having problems after having cleaned/built project.

Are you using the 'spark' components theme? The message seems to suggest it needs 'halo'. I'm guessing this demo was put together in FB3 not 4.

Hi Stray. I've ascertained this by adding the halo.swc - I do have the spark.swc in the build path too. Would you suggest removing spark.swc/sparkspins.swc?

Well that idea didn't work either...
Then I get an extra warning:
The style 'dropShadowVisible' is only supported by type 'mx.controls.List' with the theme(s) 'spark'. robotlegs-demos-HelloFlex line 488 Flex Problem

I ended up removing the border thickness attribute.
This seemed to fix things.

But then, when I run the app I get the context not found message at runtime...

Hi Jeremy, I'm afraid I'm an as3 person, not a flex person - hence my slightly stupid question :) (Always worth asking these things though - all of us sometimes mis something right in front of us while looking for a more complex cause).
There are some flex people on here so hopefully you'll get a flex-expert response shortly. Some is US based so you'll be waiting a few hours, but there are some uk folk, so if you're lucky then one will pick this up sooner.

Hi Jeremy,
I’ve tried the HelloFlex example with:
FlashBuilder 4.0 / Flex SDK 4.0
and with
FlashBuilder Burrito / Flex Hero SDK
with robotlegs.swc v.1.3.0 and 1.4.0
and everything works just fine.
In the files I have, there is no ‘borderThickness’. That means that you probably have an older demo file. That could be one of your problems.
Maybe the best way to make it work is to delete the project (and the files on the hard disk containing the project’s settings and info) and replace it with the demo from here:
https://github.com/robotlegs/robotlegs-demos-Bundle/tree/master/Hel...
First delete the robotlegs.swc in that folder (which is old!)
copy the newest robotlegs.swc (1.4.0) and make sure you have just one robotlegs.swc in there
and restart FlashBuilder
It should work :)
If it doesn’t work, then maybe your FlashBuilder’s configuration has changed somehow?
Have you tried other robotlegs examples as well?

Got there eventually..
When I added to framework SWF I think I must have specified some of the configuration incorrectly. Now when project gets built the file gets copied into the bin-debug folder automatically.

This was where I got the demo app from:
http://examples.robotlegs.org/helloflex/srcview/robotlegs-demos-Hel...
Effectively you get here by running the demo and doing a view source in the web browser
There is a link to download the source with the offending attribute on the tag.
