Flex SDK 3.3 Released
The latest official Flex SDK, now at version 3.3 has been released. You can download it from our main downloads page. We are not releasing a new version of Flex Builder, and therefore have made the updated Data Visualization components available from the same downloads page as well.
These releases are entirely bug fixes, along with the inclusion of the updated Flash Player and AIR bits.
You can see the SDK bug fixes here. The Data Visualization bug fixes are:
FLEXDMV-963: Complete chart area not used when day(s) are disabled
FLEXDMV-1882: Changing ColumnSeries itemRenderer at runtime doesn't remove previous itemRenderer. All previous itemRenderers still get called.
FLEXDMV-1695: RTE for Chart display when using labels, 100% height and ViewStates.
The Flex SDK is also available from the Open Source site.
NOTE: If you are on a Mac and using AIR you may need to run the script found attached to the bug SDK-19707 as we screwed up the symlinks pointing to the runtimes. This will hopefully be fixed in the downloadable version in the next day or two.
Comments
How do you install the 3.3 sdk for use with flex builder?
Matt sez: make sure you have Flex Builder 3.0.2 and then you simply download the SDK, place it wherever you like, then add it as an available SDK via your preferences (you can do this in the Project Properties).

I posted the following question on Ted's announcement of this, but haven't seen a response yet. This will probably be a better place for it:
Are there futher details/examples on the constraint layout enhancements? The release notes say:
Can anyone comment if this includes allowing children to be positioned via constraint rows/columns and then animated to resize using states to change either the style properties or the width/height on the Constraints themselves?
I love using Constraint Rows/Columns for liquid layouts, but then you can't use states/transitions to resize them. Unless I've just been missing something?
Matt sez: I think that should work. It's not new in 3.3, we haven't changed any constraints logic since 3.0. But if you look in the docs you should find the constraint column and row classes and i would imagine you can do any effects that adjust those properties.

Matt, here is an example I tried that did not work. Please let me know if there is another way I should apply the transition, or if I should file as a bug.

Matt sez: OK, I guess file a bug, I may be wrong on what we expected to work.

Bug filed: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-19737 for anyone that wants to vote on it.

Greg, thats curious - that should work. The beauty of constraint columns and rows is that they're not containers so you CAN animate across them. That bug will end up on my plate, I'll take a look.

Are you not doing a Debugger version of 10 for PPC Macs anymore?
Matt sez: included Player for Mac should be a universal binary.

How do we get a hold on the source code for the Data Visualization components in the 3.3 SDK?
We have fixed a few bugs, overridden some difficult to get at behavior and done some optimalizations - and after upgrading to the 3.3 SDK we are flying blind...
How can we verify that our changes are still necessary and valid in the 3.3 SDK?
Cheers!
Matt sez: should have put this on the page, instructions are in the release notes.
