Ran into an issue today where when trying to upgrade and AIR project to Flex 3.3 I kept getting this error:
Luckily the fix is pretty simple. Download the fixlinks.sh script from the link. Copy it to your 3.3 SDK root, make it an executable and run it. You should now be able to run your AIR application with Flex 3.3.

I don’t usually post a lot of humor but, this is too good.
There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed a desire to become a “great” writer. When asked to define “great” he said “I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, wail, howl in pain, desperation, and anger!” He now works for Microsoft writing error messages.
Neil Middleton has a great read for all software developers. His post if architects had to work like software developers will make anyone involved in software laugh and cry while reading. Great post Neil! Thanks again!
If you don’t want to have the Gumbo Fx Class in Flex 4 then votes for this issue in the Flex Bug and Issue Management System. If you don’t have an account create one and vote. Hopefully Adobe will listen to the community and do what’s right.
The issue can be found here: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-17854
I just saw this link to the FlexFormatter come across my friend Tom Cornilliac’s Twitter stream and I was very happy. One of my biggest issues with Flex has been a lack of any automatic formatting. I’m really glad that Ernest Pasour decided to run with this. To install just drop the jar file in you Eclipse plugins folder, configure your preferences, and your good to go.

Earlier today I ran into an issue where I was unable to drag and drop my widgets in /wp-admin/widgets.php. Luckily I was was able to look at my active plugins and determine that the most likely culprit was the Customize 1.0.1 plugin. As soon as I deactivated the plugin I was able to drag and drop again. Not one of my usual topics, but hopefully this will help someone save some time.
I updated an AIR application to compile with SDK 3.2 from 3.1 and ran into the error below:
Process terminated without establishing connection to debugger.
Command:

I found the quick fix here: nabble.com

Update your descriptor file namespace (yourApplication-app.xml)

I’ve just started to play around with Merapi and I feel that it adds a whole new dimension to AIR. The Merapi website describes the project best “Merapi is a bridge between applications written in Java and those
running in and created for Adobe AIR™ (Adobe Integrated Runtime™).” Check it out here, the possibilities are endless!
