Hi, what compile time error do you have? Have you followed the instructions in the readme file (you can read it[here][1])?  
Thanks,

[Bindable] not allowed on static functions.	Application.as	/collect/src/org/openforis/collect	line 142	

[Bindable]
public static function get preview():Boolean {
	return _preview;
}
change to:

[Bindable]
public function get preview():Boolean {
	return _preview;
}
is ok!

Hi,  please download and use the Flex SDK 4.5.1.  Then change the "Additional compiler arguments" in the project properties; the config parameter "debug" must be renamed into "debugging", so the arguments will be:  

    define+=CONFIG::debugging,true -define+=CONFIG::version,'0.1-SNAPSHOT'

Thanks,

Hi,  
I'm sorry but compiling the client side of Collect (made in Flex) under Eclipse never worked totally...! What you can do is to compile the project outside of Eclipse, using Maven from command line, then configure an instance of Tomcat in Eclipse using the target folder as context (follow the instructions [here][1]).  
Please use Maven 3.0.5 and not a newer one, otherwise the Flex plugins won't work...  
We are planning to get rid of the Flex environment soon, hopefully in one year time, so one day you won't have these problems any more!  
Thanks,
