The CairngormError warning in Flex 3 is still present in Flex 4 but now is accompanied by a build error as well. Also, a Flex 3 built Cairngorm 2.2.1 will now have runtime failures when used with a Flex 4 compiled app. This is a problem with Cairngorm source, not your updates to the CairngormStore, but thought I’d ask whether you or others have attempted to update Cairngorm 2.2.1 and CairngormStore to work with Flex 4.

Build errors with Flex 4, fyi, are:
Call to a possibly undefined method getResourceBundle through a reference with static type Class.

Call to a possibly undefined method getString through a reference with static type mx.resources:ResourceBundle.

Both occur on the first line of the formatMessage function.

The runtime errors you’d get using a Flex 3 built Cairngorm binary with a Flex 4 app are similar to the above and I presume a result of methods like ResourceBundle.getString() being removed in Flex 4.

I am not sure if this was overlooked or if I am missing something. In the downloaded zip file ShopModelLocator implements ModelLocator interface. How ever as per the comment in com.adobe.cairngorm.model.ModelLocator.as, as per 2.1 ModelLocator is deprecated and replaced by

com.adobe.cairngorm.model.IModelLocator

In that case should not the code be changes as

line # 37 import com.adobe.cairngorm.model.IModelLocator;

and line # 47

public class ShopModelLocator implements IModelLocator

For a windows build.bat compile example:

@echo off
echo Flex3 compile Main.mxml
SET OPTS=-source-path=locale/{locale}
C:\yourname\flex3\bin\mxmlc.exe %OPTS% src/Main.mxml
pause

Thanks, David. I’ve updated the folder’s name in the downloadable zip file.

Hi Doug,
Just a FYI, there’s a bug in the locale due to the name of your locale directory (en_us). The issue is that the directory should be named “en_US” to correspond to the flex locale directory. My guess is that under Windows the case of “us” is not critical; however, under Linux a compiler error is thrown (unable to open {your-project-path}/locale/en_US).

Simply rename the en_us directory located at {your-project-path}/locale/ to en_US, compile, and you should be all set.

Vern,

It looks like you’re correct. It looks as though Chen Bakor (who created this example – I just updated it to 2.2.1) didn’t implement the fuctionality that would be triggered by NewScreenEvent.

If you figure out what it should do, and implement it in the example, please let us know.

Love the example. Is this the place to ask questions regarding your update?
—
I see a NewScreenEvent.as and NewScreenEvent is being called in the GeneralInformation component.
—
But I don’t see where the NewScreenEvent is being handled. Should there be a NewScreenEvent entry in the ShopController.as file?
—
Should there be a NewScreenCommand.as file?
—
I hope I didn’t overlook this in your code, but I seem to be missing something.

Thanks so much for this – it often seems like an exercise in futility to find good examples of Flex 3/Cairngorm 2.2.1 apps – this is a big help for those who want to get up to speed – and is the first complex app that has imported and run successfully without any errors at all!

I was able to find a CF version for this app, but it is buggy. That said, if anyone out there knows of any good Flex 3/Cairngorm 2.2.1/ColdFusion examples out there that work, please let me know!

hiya-
I just downloaded this into Eclipse using the Flex plug-in and am getting Problem Occurred:
Launching New_Configuration ()
java.lang.NullPointerException

I tried unzipping first then importing and then just importing as a Flex project, pointing to the zip file, but I can’t run the mxml either way

thanks
Cindy

Doug,
Nicely done – it was a big help as I ramp up on Cairngorm.
Thanks,
Ron
