Flex SDK 3.5, the latest official build, has been released for a few weeks on the Flex Open Source site and can now also be found on the main Adobe.com downloads page with the updated data visualization components. We are not releasing a new version of Flex Builder, but the 3.5 version will work in Flex Builder using the multi-sdk feature.
This release supports the security updated runtimes of Flash Player 10.0.42 and AIR 1.5.3. Additionally, it includes key bug fixes in the SDK, which can be viewed here (please login to the bug system to see this list).
The Flex 3 Language Reference have also been updated to 3.5.

Hi Vera,just found out that my problems have been caused by a third-party library that had the AdvancedDataGrid compiled into it – however with an older version of datavisualization. After replacing that library the problems were gone.Best regards,Carsten
Tom and Carsten,Please file bugs in the bug database: bugs.adobe.com/flex/.Thanks,Vera
Any chance that for 3.6 release we will see consistent use of datavisualiZation and datavisualiSation?I think this may have already been fixed for Flex 4.
Hi Vera,just noticed that the RSL issue does only occur, when I use the caching RSL (swz). It does not occur with the datavisualization standard RSL (swf).Carsten
Carsten,My team was unfortunately unable to reproduce these issues. If you have additional bugs, please be sure to file them at bugs.adobe.com/flex/.Vera
Hi Vera,just noticed another problem in combination with the automation libraries (automation 3.5.0, flex 3.5.0): Each time I open a DataGrid an Exception is thrown, when the Flex Application is opened in Internet Explorer:Error: nullat mx.automation.qtp::QTPEnvironment/getAutomationClassByInstance()at mx.automation.delegates.controls::ListBaseAutomationImpl/recordListItemSelectEvent()at mx.automation.delegates.controls::ListBaseAutomationImpl/mouseClickHandler()This does not occur in Firefox or Google Chrome.Best regards,Carsten
Great work on the 3.5 SDK quite a few good/needed fixes. Any reason why this fix wasn’t included?https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-1438
We’re investigating. We’ll reply once I have further information.
Hi Vera,thank you for the update. I just downloaded the datavisualization package from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=flex3sdk, but I still experience runtime problems, when I run my application against datavisualization as RSL:First error:VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of addSelectionData in mx.controls.AdvancedDataGridBaseExFollowed by:ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable _709a3360346efb529a6eee092cea096985e31198dff79557ad98cf3a6a3c57a7_flash_display_Sprite is not defined.This does not occur, when I compile statically against the datavisualization.swc.
Should be under /frameworks/libs/datavisualization.swc
Hey Vera – I see that you mentioned updating the Data Vis RSL’s yesterday, but I do not see the datavisualization swcs in any of the zip archives referenced by your original posts…where can we find the updated data visualization libs? thanks!
To add to previous post …Has anyone had to create a fbpro folder then copy the DMV source files to debug into DMV code?I had to create this folder structure:..\3.5.0\fbpro\projects\datavisualizationand copy files from..3.5.0\frameworks\projects\datavisualisationI know my other option is to “add source” for each project but thats a hassle, this makes DMV source available for all my projects.Has no one at Adobe noticed this?
My apologies for not updating on the blog. We updated the Data Visualization RSLs yesterday. Please download the new ones.
Like Trent, I also experience problems with the Datavisualization RSLs. Any update on this?
Thanks for the catch, David. I believe you need to login to JIRA to see the list. Let me know if that doesn’t work for you. I’ll also update the post to note that.
Apparently the bugs in the “key bug fixes” to be found at the link provided above were not quite dead and have crawled off….leaving the page we are taken to a Issue Navigator page displaying only the line “No matching issues found.” where we’d normally expect to see the issued displayed.The link I’m referring to is in the line “Additionally, it includes key bug fixes in the SDK, which can be viewed here.” (where the word “here” is a link)Please update/fix so we can see which bugs were fixed!
Hi Carsten,Milestone builds are major release builds. They are certainly stable in use but typically contain more than the stable builds. We don’t post milestone builds under the milestone and stable builds sections. For further details on the differentiation between the two, please see this page: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Build+Types.Vera
When I look on http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+3 today, there is no stable 3.5 release listed, just a milestone release.Is the page simply out of date or has the 3.5 release been rejected?
Nicholas, we will be creating a tags directory for 3.5 soon.Vera
TheCypher,As mentioned in the post, this dot release is only bug fixes and included the updated players. Please follow the link above if you’d like to see which bugs were fixed.Thanks,Vera
I’ve been searching all over, and can’t find a description of what is new in SDK 3.5 vs 3.4. What’s going on, Adobe?
Same here – datavis did not work after the 3.5 installation
Now that 3.5 is out, will there be a 3.5.0.12683 directory inhttp://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flex/sdk/tags/Thx
Trent,Let me look into whether this is a known issue. Will get back to you shortly.Thanks,Vera
Hi Florain,Thanks for the catch. The automation libraries will be updated on 1/12. Apologies for any inconvenience.Vera
Hello,Best wishes to the flex team for this new year!What about automation libraries?I’ve downloaded them from the downloads page but they are for 3.4 version
DATA VISUALIZATION RSL does not seem to be working.I downloaded the 3.5 DATA VISUALIZATION lib, made the changes to lib path, double checked the rsl setting for both framework and DATA VISUALIZATION lib, and it doesn’t work.I seems like the same prob you guys had back when 3.1 came out?
