Becouse I have answered many times to this question and it took me a lot of time to find what this error means I decided to write a post with the  solution (in my case) to help you save some time.

So why Flex Builder display this this error ? Turns out if you create switch statement with no body in Flex Builder this unhelpful error is displayed. To solve your problem all you have to do is to add at least de “default” to your switch :

switch
{
    default:
} 

And this is all :D.

Obs: This is just one cause why Flex Builder displays this error.

Becouse I’ve received a lot of emails asking me how can AS3FlexDB can select UTF8 data from MySQL i have decided to write a post and explain how you can load UTF8 data from MySQL in Flex.

There are three steps you must done to accomplish this:

Step 1

Setup your MySQL table fields to support UTF8. You can do this by changing your collation to utf8_general_ci 

Step 2

Edit the AS3FlexDB service ( database.php ) on function open($strUser, $strPass, $strHost) line 37  after 

$rsConnectionID = @mysql_connect($strHost, $strUser, $strPass);

 add 

mysql_set_charset(’utf8′, $rsConnectionID);

this function will set UTF8  character set for the current connection.

Step 3

Edit AMFPHP gateway.php file. The gateway.php file is the bridge between your flash .swf file and AS3FlexDB service (database.php). In this file all you need to change is the setCharsetHandler method.

Replace :

$gateway->setCharsetHandler(”utf8_decode”, “ISO-8859-1″, “ISO-8859-1″);

with :

$gateway->setCharsetHandler( “none”, “ISO-8859-1″, “ISO-8859-1″ );

and this is all. If you have done everything right you can now load UTF8 data from MySQL.

I’ve just created Adobe User Group Timisoara. I have to say that  I have wait with passion for this group to be alive so in this post I will try to describe better what I want this group to become.

I have started this group because I wish to have a place where I can meet other Flex Developers from my town (Timisoara), a place where I can share my experience and learn more from others. So what exactly this group wants to be is a place where all people that have a passion for Adobe Flex to meet, have fun, share experience and learn more about Flex.

So if you like Adobe Flex and want to meet other Flex Developers you can join here.
