I'll try again... I tried the test and the first thing that fails is the namepsace which should be: mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" I tried the hello world example from labs: ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"? mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns="*" layout="absolute" mx:Label text="Hello World"/ /mx:Application The project then appears to build succcessfully but nothing appears in the swf. On decompiling it I find empty movieclip code: movieClip 3 { } I suppose this is what you mean when you say it doesn't work 100% My last comment is missing some info. I’ll try again…

I tried the hello world example from labs:

?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml”
xmlns=”*” layout=”absolute”
mx:Label text=”Hello World”/
/mx:Application

The project then appears to build succcessfully but nothing appears in the swf. On decompiling it I find empty movieclip code:

movieClip 3 {

I suppose this is what you mean when you say it doesn’t work 100%

I read the release notes for beta 2, but I can't get a simple hello world message. I downloaded the Flex beta 2 SDK and I think its the compiler. Another hault on Flex application development on Xcode. So I bite some of those words I posted on march 17th. LOL I update flash player 8.5 and its not displaying the text. Also is there a sytax change in mxml in beta 2? Ok for some reason Flex beta 2 is not working for Xcode. I read the release notes for beta 2, but I can’t get a simple hello world message.

It’ll at least save you the work of having to download the Windows files and strip out the stuff you need to compile on your Mac.

How amusing that a product so geared at providing the rich user experience, won't offer the Flex 2 running-headstart to users prefering the definitive rich user experience (OS X). If Adobe/Macromedia wants to harness the cunning of the savvy designers and developers, they had better start to realize that those who appreciate top-tier design and development, are also found amongst great design and development. Simple FYI Adobe, there's a lot of us over here with OS X ready and willing once you get it together. Until then, god speed to the generous genius of people like Buhler, the genuine article.

I've been impressed with Flex from the beginning, but over the years I've developed my own guideline that goes something like, "if they don't make it for Mac, it's not worth it." The reason I use a Mac for being a designer and a developer is the same reason I'd be using a Lexus or BMW if I was a traveling salesman of any sort. If I'm going to spend so much time behind the wheel, I'm certainly going to opt for the best experience available to make life more enjoyable. Refusing to use Flex for this reason says a lot because as enticing as it truly is, I'm not going to start clunking around the digital universe in a Ford Tempo-esque jallopy just to gain access to it. Sincere thanks to you for sharing this great information, I'm looking forward to getting started with it asap, until Adobe eventually figures it out. As Mac users know, a tough part of being a Mac user is the fact that we get used to being anywhere from one to five years ahead of many of the features Windows users lack, while at the same time, the "herd" adds up to more money, which can often mean Windows sees certain packages first. (and no offense to those who have enjoyed driving to work in their old reliable Ford Tempo over the past 20 years, if it works for you, great!) Thanks again! Thank you so much Josh.
