I would like to know how to build a flex based flash file and handle it through java but the open-source way. I would like to learn using flex to develop webpages. Is there any way to implement it using eclipse IDE.

Thanks and Best Regards

A few months ago I did the same question to myself, basically what u`re doing in flex/flash is suppose to be the front end, and than you can write the back-end in Java for example.

One easy way it`s comparing :

flex = JSP+javascript mxml=jsp actionscript=javascript

I'm not sure what you mean by "The open source way".

The Flex SDK is open source, and it contains a command line compiler. I suppose if there is some console plugin to eclipse you could use it to fire off the command line compiler. You could also use ANT to compile your Flex/ActionScript code.

If you want to use an eclipse IDE for Flex, many people use Flash Builder; which is a commercial product and is not open source. FDT is an alternate eclipse based plugin for Flex, but it is also a commercial product.

Honestly, I think you should have read what Flex actually is before asking on here how do something Flex was not designed for. A good resource to get started is the DevNet: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex.html. As for using Flex in Eclipse, Adobe offers both an Eclipse plugin complete with everything you need to compile Flex, Adobe AIR and Flash applications. They also offer a standalone version of Eclipse with the plugin installed for you. Both are available at http://www.adobe.com/products/flashbuilder/.
