Importing sample Flex library projects

Included with the LiveCycle ES2.5 SDK is a pre-configured Flex project, guide_extension, that contains sample Guide MXML and ActionScript extensions. Import this project to help you start creating Guide extensions more quickly.

Important: Try not to edit the sample files directly or modify those files that are included with LiveCycle ES2.5. It is a best practice to make uniquely named copies of the content to help you get started creating Guide extensions.

Import the sample Guide extensions Flex project

  1. Start Flash Builder.

  2. Click File > Import > Flex Project .

  3. Select Project Folder and then click Browse . Select the LiveCycle_ES_SDK\misc\Guides\samples\projects\extensions folder located where you installed LiveCycle ES2.5 (by default, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe LiveCycle Workbench ES2\LiveCycle_ES_SDK\misc\Guides\samples\projects\extensions), and then click OK .

  4. (Optional) Choose the workspace where you want to import the new project.

  5. Click Finish .

After you import the project, build it to generate the custom extension SWC file. By default, the name of the compiled SWC file is the same as the project (for example, extensions.swc). It is located in your Flex project's bin directory. The file is located relative to the project's Adobe® LiveCycle® Workspace 9 directory, not in the original sample project directory. Copy the extensions.swc file into a Workbench application. Add the compiled extension library to your Guide using the Guide Design perspective in Workbench.
