I’d like to thank everyone who attended my TechWed presentation yesterday. We had around 85 people in attendance! Thanks to Stacy Sison for convincing me that I should present.
I will be giving this presentation again tonight at the Seattle Flex User Group, so if you are in Seattle… show up. We’ll have a bit more time for questions at tonight’s presentation.

Nate,
This was a great presentation. I too had trouble with the Flex WebServices and want to submit a patch. After watching your presentation, I was not able run the WootLabelTest successfully. I add the ‘text = “Woot!”‘ in the Label.as file but when I ran the application, I don’t see anything.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

Hey, thanks for reading!
Okay, So if you’re not seeing your “woot” label, make sure that your WootLabelTest is using your version of framework.swc instead of the default Flex SDK version. To do this in
FlexFlash Builder:- Right-click on the project, let’s say WootLabelTest is your project, right click on that and go to properties.
- Click on “Flex Build Path” (or Actionscript Build Path if you’re doing an AS only project).
- Click on the “Library Path” tab.
- Assuming you’ve got your Flex SDK Library Project setup correctly, you can click “Add Project”.
- Select “framework” and hit “OK”, then do the same for “rpc”.
- They should show up in the Build path libraries box.
- Now you want to select framework and rpc in the Build path libraries box and move them above your Flex SDK. Do this by selecting the project and clicking the up button.
- If your framework and rpc projects are above the Flex SDK in the “Build path libraries” box, you should be good to go.
The reason for those steps is it forces your project to use your version of framework.swc and rpc.swc instead of the one provided by the Flex SDK.
Also be sure that when setting up your Flex Library projects in Flash Builder that your “Linked Resource” is pointing to the correct place. If it’s not, the Flex Library project will be empty, and your swcs won’t do anything.
Hopefully that clears some stuff up. Let me know if that fixes things for you.
Cheers!

Okay I got it working. I was editing the wrong Label.as file.
Thanks!
