If you want to launch an app by pointing your browser to http://localhost:3000 you will need to put the swf file for your Flex app in the public folder of your Rails app, and you will need to replace the index.html file in there with with html file that Flex Builder generates for your app.

I just started on flexonrails.. and to be honest, I know absolutely zilch. I started from your article over at

adobe but I couldnt understand why I cannot get it to work by pointing my browser to a localhost:3000 something.

Now I found out your SDK but I still cannot understand what was the difference that enabled the issue tracker to be displayed on the localhost:3000

Can you enlighten me?

I have Flex 2 builder btw.

Thanks
