AdvancedDataGrid, Charts and OLAP source gets unziped in FlexBuilder Pro version

What I thought is a known fact seems not so widely known. Hence posting it.

When FlexBuilder Pro version is bought and a valid licensce key is entered the source code for the complete datavisulation.swc would get unzipped and get placed under

<FlexBuilder installation direcotry>sdk/3.0.0/fbpro/...

directory. Which means users would get access to AdvancedDataGrid, Charts and OLAP source code.

It is not open-source but source is available for you to take a look and override functions with more confidence and knowledge of the internal workings. And of-course suggest/complain !

Enjoy !

Very cool. I've had a few user group members ask why they can't inspect SWC's and in general knowing we can peek to override better then let's do it! :)

I have been using a purchased and registered copy of FlexBuilder 3 Pro for a few weeks now and just came across this post. I have checked the directory you specified (and poked around in other places) and the fbpro folder you mention is not there. Any thoughts? Do I need to update something?

This may be case because
if a valid licesne.properties file is present in the specified path, Flex Builder would use the license, but source extraction wouldn't happen.

The source extraction requires that
the key is provided using the Flex Builder Help -> Manage Flex Licesnes option.

You can try the following.

Quit FlexBuilder (if it is running)

Make a note of the fb pro key in
license.properties file which is available under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Flex\license.properties.

Delete the file or key.

Run Flex Builder.

Use Help -> Manage Flex Licesnes option and provide the key.

Source should get extracted to the given location in the main post.

That worked perfectly -- thanks!

Christian Louboutin sale said...

To be honest, I don’t know the brand of Christian Louboutin shoes before. But after knowing it, I found it rather easy to know and love the Christian Louboutin shoes since they have the signature red sole which makes you to figure out them from other brand high heels. They are so lovable since they could make you more mature and more elegant.

Usually speaking, for the lady who wears the cheap louboutin shoes for the first time would be afraid of being uncomfortable because of the high heel. But the truth comes to be that the worries are needless. The Christian Louboutin shoes are perfectly designed. So when you wear them, you won’t feel uncomfortable but even as comfortable as wearing flat shoes. There would be hidden platform in the shoes which makes your toes more comfortable to bear the weight of your body.

Someone said Christian Louboutin sale shoes have the magic to make all ladies feel more self-confident when wearing them. So why not have a try on them yourself? I am sure you would fall in love with them too. Besides, having a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes, you won’t worry about what to wear in wedding or parties.
