The Apache Flex Tour De Flex component explorer provides a sample set of working
  Apache Flex examples.
	 
  This application is based on work donated by Adobe and their component explorer and is
  expected to be updated over time.
  
  
==========================================================================================
Initial Setup Required
==========================================================================================            
  
    The environment variable FLEX_HOME needs to be set to the absolute path of the Apache
    Flex SDK. If you prefer you can set this in env.properties.
  
==========================================================================================
How to build Tour De Flex using ant (no IDE is required)
==========================================================================================

1.  On Linux or Mac un tar/gzip the source distribution:
	    tar -zxvf apache-flex-tour-de-flex-component-explorer-1.2.tar.gz
	Or if on windows unzip 
		apache-flex-tour-de-flex-component-explorer-1.2.zip

2.  In the base directory, run:
        ant compile
        
3. To optionally create a release source package, run:
 		ant package

4. Open explorer.html in your browser of choice. 

Note Some browsers (such as Chrome) may not be able to view local content without further
configuration.

5. To remove all of the compiled swfs:
 		ant clean
 		
==========================================================================================
Some other useful ant targets
========================================================================================== 		
	
There are several other useful ant targets. Note that compile-shell is required if you want
changes to explorer.xml to take effect.

	 compile-shell     compile explorer shell
	 compile-mx        compile mx examples
	 compile-spark     compile first set of spark examples
	 compile-spark2    compile second set of spark examples
	 compile-spark3    compile third set of spark examples
 	 compile-apache    compile apache examples
 	 compile-squiggly  compile apache squiggly examples
	 package-tar       tar up all source files
	 package-zip       zip up all source files

==========================================================================================
Compiling a single example
==========================================================================================

Most of the examples can be compiled by hand with mxmlc. For example:

	mxmlc ./src/spark/controls/ListExample.mxml 
 		
==========================================================================================
How to check the code out of Git
==========================================================================================

1.  Check out the the code from the Apache Flex utilities project
	 git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flex-utilities.git flex-utilities
	 cd flex-utilities
	 git checkout develop 

2.  Change directory to:
	cd TourDeFlex/TourDeFlex3
