Wondering the same too.

Yeah, I was asking around at Adobe and got several different answers... no real date, however one of the guys told me straigh out it will be in May 2012... Errr!!!!

So I just took the free 4.6 Premium upgrade and will stick to 4.5 w/PHP on my alt workstation.

Devomatic-

I got the same info from Adobe help on chat.

My 4.5 w/Zend has never worked at all... Nothing, wont even install

correctly and so I was hoping to see it working the 4.6 that rolled out

last week.  The Adobe rep said May for the 4.6 w/PHP.

Adobe's misinformation is plowing full steam ahead! 

If i pulled the $hit off at work i would be fired on the spot!

Fully agree!!!

FB 4.6 for PHP is Premium.

Sent from my iPad

I have a copy of the 4.6  for php which I downloaded from the adobe downloads page a few weeks a go but now the dwonload link has disappeared! What's going on ?

I'm not sure what's going on. I have both windows and mac versions of 4.6 for php.

The obvious answer is Adobe failed to meet their first quarter deadline this year.  Why that is, is anyone's guess if they even plan on still making good on this for that matter.

Workarounds?  Of course:

• If you own Flash Builder for PHP, the simplest answer is to download the Flex 4.6 framework and set that to your default as opposed to 4.5.  But what about the auto generated code that is only available in design view?  If you're using auto generated code or are that concerned about design view, perhaps you should stick to designing until you're more proficient at programming and let the programmers handle the programming.
• Of course the other alternative and "better" alternative for some people would simply be to install Zend Studio, and then install Flash Builder as an eclipse plugin that you can load into Zend Studio (something I myself did before Flash Builder for PHP was even on the market).

I missed nothing.  I clearly expressed that I understood your point in the first two sentences I posted.  I then provided workarounds for you to be helpful.  You then decided to be obnoxious and rude as if Adobe's failure is somehow my fault when I was only trying to be helpful.  End of subject.

Adobe ist the only company I konw which reverses its own innovations for years.

Never trust Adobe. This could break your business.

History:

- reduction of external interface made thousends of web-apps useless (file uploades etc.)

- no update for FB for PHP in spite of announcements.

- canceling of design view in FB makes FB nearly useless, unless you like to do skinning etc. on the good old way like in the early Flash 8 - times with AS3.

- AE is now more a 3party product then from Adobe because they missed a bunch of innovations over years.

- documentations for products are going more and more useless.

- Adobe forces its cloudsourcing by hiding inforamtions from non-members. Therefor the Edge-Projects will fail.

...and so on...

There must be something wrong with the complete management...

...time to choose another software vendor!

Is it really that difficult to add Flash Builder 4.6 as a plugin to Zend Studio?  I did that for a long time prior to Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP, which is essentially the same thing.  It really doesn't take a rocket scientist.  =/

On that note, if you own Flash Builder 4.6 and don't feel like shelling out the extra money for Zend Studio or waiting for Flash Builder 4.6 for PHP, then it's really as simple as adding Flash Builder as a plugin to Ecliplse for PHP using PDT.  Also, doesn't take a rocket scientist.  Personally, I don't see the big deal myself.  I don't even bother with using Zend Studio anymore and prefer to use Komodo Edit since it's autocomplete features are awesome and it's very quick at auto complete by simply adding a folder for your favorite PHP apps from different frameworks to different content management systems.  Furthermore, there is still support in Flash Builder 4.6 to connect to a PHP data service if you really just want to create some automated code.  Ultimately though, I don't understand why anyone would use amf.ini or the default options in production.

Rather than pointing to the default endpoint, if you're using a framework in the first place, it makes a lot more sense to setup a service controller and have the endpoint point to that such as index.php/services/amf (or if you're like me and prefer cleaner url's modify .htaccess to remove index.php).  The bottom line is there really was nothing great about Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP.  Alot of things were broken for one and it was far easier to use the datawizard which still exists for testing purposes.

After that, you should be focusing on deploying the applicaiton for production, and adjusting the settings in the Zend Framework to create a new project the correct way, dumping your HTML file to a view along with the swf file, and it may be a good idea to point the HTML file to swfobject on the Google Ajax Libraries page.  Everything else is a cakewalk.

In other news, if you'd like a ligher footprint than using the entire Zend Framework, why not use something like CodeIgniter and create the necesssary hooks to use Zend AMF?

Adobe has anounced to no longer support data centric features in FB in the future. They also recomend using AS3 instead of Flex while building mobile apps. They are moving back to the history. READ THE INTERNET DUDE!

Has someone tried to use ANE in FB for PHP...good luck. Unfortunately we can't upgrade ;-).

...so we have to comment out ANE references- if we want to develope further more in FB before compiling stuff...Great solution!
