Couldn't get the example to work (not that I have tried others). Could you guys add a zip file with a working version of the examples.

I don't really know how to use git, so would be great to have the files to see it all working.

Kind regards
Lucas Jones

   You've tried v1.0RC6 from http://github.com/robotlegs/robotlegs-demos-Bundle/downloads ?

   What problem did you have getting the example to work?

   Hey Lucas,
   Maybe it’s the same issue like the one discussed here:
   Flex 3 Modules Example - Factory Widget

   Hi Lucas,

   Apologies if you have done all this already, just double-checking.

   Download the latest Demo Bundle ZIP here:

   http://github.com/robotlegs/robotlegs-demos-Bundle/zipball/v1.0.0

   And the latest Robotlegs SWC:

   http://www.robotlegs.org/

   Your Flex/Flash Builder project will need to have a "libs" folder set as a SWC folder as described in:

   http://wiki.github.com/robotlegs/robotlegs-framework/overview

   Finally, make sure that you don't have both the Robotlegs and SwiftSuspenders SWC files linked to the same project - I believe this can cause issues.

   If, after all that, it's still not working, please let us know what version of Flash/Flex Builder you are using, and the version of the Flex SDK that you are compiling against.

   Oh dear, I just had a thought.. Are you compiling against the Robotlegs source code (ie, simply including the Robotlegs source in the demo projects, instead of linking against the Robotlegs SWC)? Compiling against the source requires 2 compiler arguments as described over at:

   http://github.com/tschneidereit/SwiftSuspenders

   -keep-as3-metadata+=Inject
   -keep-as3-metadata+=PostConstruct
   

   Linking against the SWC will do this for you automagically. Flex/Flash Builder is a little annoying in that it will create a "libs" folder for Flex projects, but not for plain ActionScript projects (you have to create the folder and point at it manually).

   I'm pretty sure using the SWC or including the compiler arguments will sort out your issue. Let us know how it goes.

   Hi Shaun.

   Thank you very much for you kind reply.

   My only problem at the end was I didn't know about the compiling paramiter as I was using both sources (no SWCs).

   All I did was, inside flexbuilder 3, right click project root folder -> properties -> ActionScript Compiler -> the added the following line inside Additional compiler arguments:

   -keep-as3-metadata+=Inject -keep-as3-metadata+=PostConstruct

   that was it... up and running.

   Cheers
