Today, the FDT team has releases a small update – 5.6.2. Since the 5.6 release, we’ve received some great feedback from the community and have fixed numerous issues. With this release, we’ve fixed any issues that might prevent anyone from using Apache Flex with FDT. While we’re continuing to work on an even tighter integration with Apache Flex, this is the first step. Below is a video tutorial on how to download Apache Flex and get it working with FDT.
Proudly we announce our next free update for all FDT 5 customers: FDT 5.6.
During the development of this release we really went deep down to FDT’s roots to improve its performance. What we achieved is a massive performance optimization for nearly every situation and project, especially big gaming projects.
*note: This deal has expired. Stay tuned for our next deal. With the release of FDT 5.5 we also introduced a new payment model – subscriptions. To welcome this new opportunity, we want to give a free month of FDT Max to all of you. With subscription payments you are much more flexible in setting [...]
Recently, Betas for Air 3.0 and Flash Player 11 have been released and they have some great features. To get started using them, you’ll need to do a little bit of setup on your own. This is because they are currently being distributed separately from each other and from the Flex SDK.
I’ve created a quick video that will walk you through setting everything up. Enjoy!
Just a note for anyone else following this, using AIR 3.5 and flex_sdk_4.5.1.21328, you need to test it using:
var stage3d:Stage3D = stage.stage3Ds[0];
as opposed to the example in the video, which just errors. They’ve obviously fiddled with the Stage3D class.
Thanks Tal!
Also check out FDT 5.5, which we’ve just released. It has a great deal of improvements and fixes – especially with the AIR workflow.
I have created a custom template for compiling AIR 3 using FDT for IOS which also syncs your app to your mobile if anyone wants to use it.. http://theboywhocriedwoolf.com/compiling-air-with-fdt-and-ant/
hope this helps..

Which version of FDT & Flex SDK are you using in your project?
yes i have the same issue as fintan… getting null pointer exception. i tried changing namespace to http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.1
Hey Fintan,
The FDT5 mobile templates won’t work with 4.6 out of the box. You’re right about the XML namespace. What you can do is edit the template your self! The templates are kept in your FDT folder in your home directory.
On OSX this may be hidden by default. Here’s some info to fix that:
http://tarastips.net/2011/05/show-hidden-library-folder-in-mac-osx-lion/
should the Flex 4.6 sdk work out of the box with the FDT5 mobile templates? I’ve tried it but the generated *-app.xml file points to the 2.6 namespace rather than 3.1 and I can get it to compile yet(java.lang.NullPointerException).
any help is appreciated
Fintan
