Flex Gumbo in FlashDevelop

Ca multi alti developeri nu am bani pentru Flex3 IDE. Prin urmare folosesk FlashDevelop, care e free. L-am configurat sa lucreze cu flex 3 sdk. Acum am vrut sa builduiesk un project care foloseshte Flex Gumbo, care e inclus in flex 4 beta sdk. Iaca un exemplu: Setting the base color on a Spark DropDownList control in Flex 4.

Poti face asta in felul urmator :
1. Downloadezi flex sdk 4 beta undeva pe calculator, il dezarhivezi.
2a. Configurezi pentru toate proectele sa foloseaska acest sdk. Tools > Program Settings > AS3Context şi setezi "Flex SDK Location".
2b. Configurezi numai pentru un proect. Project > Properties > Compiler Options şi setezi "Custom path to Flex SDK" cu calea unde ai dezarhivat flex 4 sdk.
Success.
