Marvin Blase Huh. I was wondering about quite some mails I’ve received and different Twitter questions about: “How do I install the 3.2 AIR SDK in my FDT5?”. I didn’t think it’s such a deal but I’m gonna sum it up for you quickly now. And as I’ve once published a blogpost about “From Scratch to Device”, I actually thought of showing you this in a little video. Btw. I’m sorry I had to skip speech for this video as my voice is currently crippled by a flu and you really don’t want to hear me talking at the moment :) This by the way is again just a quick proof of concept. Of course the Debug-Workaround with 4.6 is around and FDT should set itself the app-descriptor right. But yea.. I hope you know what I mean.
Edit: Okay, I’ve heard that nobody knows what I mean :) The following video is a “How freaking fast can you deploy something with FDT?”. It’s actually a dirty example of starting a mobile project because I’d recommend to doublecheck the App-Descriptor and set up width&height there – as well as in the compiler-arguments. Furthermore you better set up the ADL before actually deploying the app so you get a better idea of how the mobile screen differs from your usual workflow. And setting up the ADL forces you to sort out your run configurations. So – of course the time doesn’t matter at all, but it’s nice to know in case you’re simply up for some tests.

Downloads:
You can save them wherever you want.
Extracting & Merging the SDKs:
You only have to extract the Flex SDK as we’re merging the AIR-SDK .zip and don’t need to manually extract it. FDT5 thankfully added a way to do this for you. So after setting up the new Flex 4.6 SDK follow the instructions in this video:
In case you don’t want to see the video..
- Install the new Flex SDK (Preferences>FDT>Installed SDKs>Add)
- Chose your Flex SDK and press “Merge AIR SDK” (Still Preferences>FDT>Installed SDKs)
- Chose your downloaded AIR-SDK .zip file
Any questions? :)

Hey Marvin,
This video is a piece of candy ! Yesterday, I was wondering if somebody used FDT5 and AIR 3.2 SDK !
Thank’s a lot,
OP.
You’re welcome. Keep in mind that this is just a rough rush through the workflow. When it comes to debugging, additional files or ANEs it will become slightly more complicated. However, I wanted to show that it’s possible and especially that it’s possible FAST. I hate to set up things for like 20 minutes before I actually see anything on my device.
I know there are still bugs around and things are not working as expected at first, but to all of you who are experiencing bugs: Just drop me a comment, I claim to know about 99% of them :)
Also, check my last article about FDT5 and Away3D.
Thanks a lot! It’s good to see it’s working so fast and well. Can you do a video in which you really show the things? Maybe covering Debugging and Releasing an App as well? :-)
Sure, as soon as I’m back from Asia I’m going to start a video tutorial series on “How to make a 3D game on mobiles w/ FDT 5 and Away3D”. Kinda covering everything in detail. Will see :)
“How to make a 3D game on mobiles w/ FDT 5 and Away3D”
That would be really fantastic!! Look forward to it.
Was looking for this for a while now. Thanx!
I created this template if it helps speed up development at all…

Thanks
An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a friend who had been conducting a little homework on this. And he in fact ordered me breakfast simply because I found it for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending time to discuss this matter here on your web page.
Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging on
websites I stumbleupon every day. It’s always interesting to read through articles from other writers and practice a little something from other websites.
Here is my web blog :: Sherman
Howdy! I know this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to ask.
Does building a well-established blog like yours take a lot of work?
I am completely new to operating a blog but I do write in my journal every day.
I’d like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!
Howdy, I do believe your web site could be having web browser compatibility problems.
Whenever I look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine however when opening in I.
E., it has some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to give you
a quick heads up! Apart from that, wonderful site!

I drop a leave a response whenever I appreciate a post on a website or I have something
to contribute to the conversation. It is caused
by the sincerness displayed in the article I looked at.
And on this article FDT 5 to iPhone in four minutes | Beautify Code Blog.
I was excited enough to write a thought :-) I actually do have a few questions for you if it’s allright. Is it just me or does it give the impression like a few of these remarks come across like they are left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing at additional online social sites, I’d like to follow everything fresh you have to post.
Could you make a list the complete urls of your shared sites like your twitter
feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your site. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes
it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often.
Did you hire out a designer to create your theme?
Superb work!
