About this task

The following steps are for Flex 3.0 applications. Flex 2.0, Flex 3.2, Flex 3.3, Flex 3.4, Flex 3.5, and Flex 4.0 runtime loaders can be configured similar to Flex 3.0 by providing the appropriate SDK libraries and changing the output filenames accordingly. The runtime loader files that are enabled corresponding to the SDK under use, must be embedded in the html page.

To configure the Runtime Loader for Flex 3.0 applications, follow these steps:

Procedure

1. Compile the RuntimeLoader.mxml to swf file using the command: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.0.0\bin\mxmlc.exe" -include- libraries+="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.0.0 \frameworks\libs\automation.swc;C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.0.0\frameworks\libs\automation_agent.swc;C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.0.0\frameworks\libs\automation_dmv.swc;%IBM_RATIONAL_RFT_INSTALL_DIR%\rftFlex3.0.swc;%IBM_RATIONAL_RFT_INSTALL_DIR%\rftProp_Flex3.0.swc" - output="C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\FunctionalTester\Flex\RuntimeLoaderFlex30.swf" "C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\FunctionalTester\Flex\RuntimeLoader.mxml".

2. Open the RuntimeLoadingTestFlex30.html with notepad.

3. Replace the movie source in the object and embed tags with RuntimeLoaderFlex30.swf.
