I've encountered a show stopper bug in FB 4.7, I get this everytime I try to build:

Errors occurred during the build.

Errors running builder 'Compiler' on project 'Bardbarian'.

Negative time

It seems to be related to copying files into bin-debug. If I un-check 'Copy Non-Embedded Files to output folder', then the build works, but I must manually copy my dynbamically loaded files into bin-debug.

Here's a short video showing the issue:

I have Flash Builder 4.5 installed on my PC. I want to install Flash Builder 4.7 also leaving Flash Builder 4.5 untouched. (I want to migrate my apps from 4.5 to 4.7 gradually over a period of time testing each carefully.)  Is this doable? If so, how can I do this? Thanks.

I use chrome on windows. Every time I am on Facebook and I am trying to play a game I get a message that says flash player has stopped working. How do i make it work?

I am getting this error after upgrading to Flash Builder 4.5 from Flex 3. This error was not occurring under Flex 3.

I do not have an empty Case statement. If I remove a particular module from the Flex Modules list in the project propertues, the error does not occur, but of course no swf is generated so the module cannot be loaded at run time.
I have gone through the module in question with a fine toothed comb but cannot find any syntax errors

An internal build error has occurred. See the error log for more information.    Culinaria        Unknown    Flex Problem

Hello,

There seems to be something wrong with the Flashbuilder 4.6 installation for Windows. I've downloaded the installation 3 different times (the download completes successfully each time), and tried installing it on 4 different computers 3 with Windows 7, 64bit OS and one with Windows XP 32bit OS. It hangs every time on the same spot, when it is trying to extract the files for the installation. It says "A problem has occurred while extracting some files. It appears it's always after or on the "updateInventory.dll" extraction. The installation doesn't actually ever get a chance to start, it's failing on the extraction of the files to install.

Install File: FlashBuilder_4_6_LS10.exe 806 MB (845,374,656 bytes)

Does anyone have any ideas of how to work around this issue? I'm not sure that anyone with Windows could possibly use this product (trial or purchased) with this issue. (not a great release Adobe!)

Hey all,

I starting to get more and more devices that both don't come with a USB driver (relying on MTP) and fail to authorize themselves with Windows. Not all 4.2 devices do this however, I'm noticing Samsung is pretty special in this way.

I have the latest Android SDK, the default google USB driver as well. 'adb devices' continuously shows devices as 'unauthorized'. I've read people do simple things like unplug/replug, uncheck/recheck USB debugging, restart the device and all possible combinations of those things in any order. My older devices dutifully ask me upon connection or USB Debugging enablement if the PC I connected it to is allowed and once I click OK the device is authorized (like my 4.1.2 Samsung Galaxy S3). This screen NEVER comes up on newer devices, never offering a way to authorize the device.

Android devices that work

• Samsung Galaxy S3 (4.1.2)
• Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" (4.1.2)
• ASUS Transformer 10.1" (4.0.3)
• ASUS Transformer Infinity 10" (4.2.1)
• Lenovo IdeaTab 7" (4.0)
• ASUS MeMO SmartPad 10.1" (4.1)
• Sony Xperia Tablet Z 10" (4.2.2)

Devices that refuse to authorize:

• Samsung Galaxy S4 (4.3)
• Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (4.3)
• Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0" (4.2.2)

The obvious trend here is, Samsung and anything over 4.2 doesn't seem to work (allow authorization). I can find nothing but Kies software with a "reinstall USB driver" option which I've installed and tried but these devices merely are visible in windows, allow file transfers with no issues, show up in 'adb devices' as 'unauthorized' and in Flash Builder 4.7 they show up as their serial numbers, 'online' and AIR is not installed, with no OS version.

Has anyone had any luck with a late Samsung device and USB debugging, or getting the devices to authorize with the OS? As much as I've narrowed it (which doesn't help) is OS 4.2 and up now ask for a RSA fingerprint for authorization from Windows whereas 4.1 and below do not. Somehow only the older Galaxy Tab and Sony are getting this. I guess Samsung is just having an issue (with Win7 Pro 64bit).

Any native developers know how to force a device to authorize?

Thanks!

im running flash builder 4.7 on mac, and recently upgrade to a newer air, this was sad in itself as flash builder dosnt have a mechanism for doing this you have to paste files all manually all over the place.

Im now running into an issue where I cannot even create projects.

Has anyone had this issue? does anyone know how to solve?

Thanks

I can not update my Flash Player Debugger. I download it and go through the install process, everything looks good. But I can't find it nor can Flash Builder. I'm on  a Mac and I use Chrome. Is Chome's player confusing Flash Builder? When I go to sites to test the Player, I see that the Flash Debugger is installed, but Flash builder can not find it.

How do I update the Flash Player Debugger for Flash Builder?

Thanks!

HELLO , I have an akamai stream live and i need to place the stream in a mobile app on flash builder software, can you help to do this?

i have a m3u8 url to my stream it can help? please help me.Thanks

Like the title says, could someone possibly explain to me what im doing wrong with embedding this swf? **My code works fine in chrome**...But doesn't appear in FireFox, and it look compacted in IE, like its only set to a 5% height or something.

All I want to do is have the swf scale  to 80% width(then i use the margin:0 auto; to center it), then 75% height. Theres a header, small ad at the top, and a footer at the bottom. All while being compatable with Chrome, FF, IE.

Incase possibly this matters..in my Flex Project I set the swf height and width to 100%. I figured since it's being embeded inside the `.mainContainer` div, the swf would then assume its parent(mainContainer)'s width and height wich is set to width:80% and height:75%. **And it does it chrome just fine** but like i said above the swf doesn't appear in FF. I thought maybe i should note this incase it's necessary information to solve this bug.

I didn't think this would be too hard but I can't seem to get the swf to load in FF. I'm seeing the swf making connects to some netConnections and stuff like its there, i just cant see anything.

-What am i doing wrong?

-Is there a better way I should be implementing the swf?

-How can i figure out whats wrong on my own in the future?

(im so used to working in Flash builder on flash projects, the debugging is so simple, informative, and easy to use. With only having access to "inspector" in chrome which never spits out any useful information I feel like im coding in the dark compared to using eclipse)

**EDIT:**

1 more thing I should mention. Pretty much the entire "embed" code provided here was auto generated by Flash Builder. I created .mainContainer around the "embed" code and all the extra  divs around it... my header, footer,ect. Without any of my extra content, the swf appears just fine like you would expect it in firefox. SO my point in saying this is i do not think its **literally** the embed code. Because that embed code works in FF. It's just how im implemented my header, and div around this flash content that seems to break the code in FF for some reason.

I just updated from Flash Builder 4.5 to 4.6. Things seemed to be going ok in terms of importing all my projects etc. (why can't there be a simple upgrade process rather than a complete uninstall/reinstall process?)

But then I got to setting the Output Folder within the Flex Build Path section of the properties of my project.

Now, as our dev environments we run glassfish servers locally on our testing machines and build our apps directly into them so our testing process is very quick. This was working fine in Flash Builder 4.5, I point my app's output folder to a location of the form:

C:\Users\myUserName\glassfish3\glassfish\domains\domain1\eclipseApps\appname

And that works fine, set by pasting in from an explorer window or Browsing there via the Browse button next to the field.

Now when I try to do this within Flash Builder 4.6 I get nothing at all appearing if I use the browse button. No error, nothing saying it failed, just an empty field. If I try to paste in anything I get an error from Flash Builder saying '"Paste" did not complete normally."

If I try to just type in the path it fails, it strips the leading C:\ and turns it into a relative path, which is completely useless.

This is getting really annoying!

Log file output after I tries to browse to the folder:

dear all,

In FlashBuilder 4.7 (beta + release), it consistently happens that linked assets aren't (re)loaded when compiling. Cleaning the project doesn't seem to help. Restarting FB, then cleaning + building mostly reloads the assets.

Is there a way to (manually?) clean all caches, the way a restart of FB does?

This question could be related to: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4809438#4809438 and http://forums.adobe.com/message/2921124#2921124

This seems reproducible:

1. Make 'assets.fla' file in Flash Professional, create one symbol with some random graphics, ActionScript Linkage Class set to 'SomeGraphicAsset', publish to 'assets.swf'

2. In Flash Builder 4.7, create new ActionScript Mobile project

3. Make new Class "SomeGraphic", link with previously created graphics in Flash:

package

{

          import flash.display.MovieClip;

          [Embed(source="/../embedded-assets/assets.swf", symbol="SomeGraphicAsset")]

          publicclass SomeGraphic extends MovieClip

          {

                    publicfunction SomeGraphic()

                    {

                              super();

                    }

          }

}

4. In constructor of entry-point class for project add:

var somegraphic:SomeGraphic = new SomeGraphic();

this.addChild(somegraphic)

5. compile / debug project

6. open 'assets.fla' in Flash Pro. Change something to the 'SomeGraphicAsset' symbol. Publish to .swf file.

7. In Flash Builder, debug -> shows old file without updated graphics

8. In Flash Builder, clean project, debug -> shows old file without updated graphics

9. Close Flash Builder, reopen Flash Builder, clean project, debug -> mostly the updated graphics show.

Any feedback to make this more workable, or a way to fully flush all caches in FB are greatly appreciated.

It's crazy having to close / open FB every time a graphical asset changes in your project.

- this has been tested on 2 different Mac OSX 10.8.x computers, FlashBuilder 4.7 AIR SDK 3.5

- sample project can be downloaded here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/608333/AssetProblemSampleProject.zip

hoping for some feedback,

Hello,

I've been attempting to save the state of my game to disk.  I've tried using both SharedObject and just writing my own file using File.applicationStorageDirectory.  Both of these work fine with a debug build.  However, both fail to write files if I use release build.  What gives?  Do I have to have a certificate from Microsoft or Android to save files from a release build AIR application now?

I'm using Windows 8.1, Android 4.4.2, AIR SDK 13, Flash Builder 4.7, .  Both Windows and Android will save files from a debug build.  Both will not save files from a release build.  I am using a self signed digital signature, it has been around a while.  Do I need to generate a new one?  Or is there a different problem?

Update

I created a fresh Actionscript Desktop (Adobe AIR) project, imported the previous projects code, and got it running.  Same problem.  I tried native installer and application with captive runtime.  Release builds cannot write to the applicationStorageDirectory or the documents directory.

Update 2

So, the issue appears to be a serialization problem with the builtin JSON.  JSON.stringify is throwing an error in the release build, but not in the debug build.  Admittatly I was throwing a fairly complex object at it, however the behavior change between the builds seems poor on adobe's part.  To get around this I downloaded the ac3corelib, gutted, and refactored the object serialization component to fit my needs.  The complex object is handled in a more simple manner and it works.  Disappointed in adobe's serialization, but from what I see around the net that is pretty common.

Hi,

I would like to set a background image on my Flash Builder 4.5 application. Does anyone know how to do this? Haven't seen an example that does this. Flex 3 made this very easy to do, but not 4.5

Thanks

Now the latest AIRSDK web page has a small link at the bottom for Flex users and it states that Flex users should take the SDK version without the compiler. BUT....

the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html page says to download the SDK from

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/asc2.html

but this page now redirects to:

http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html

which contains a large list of archived SDK's. So that help page never really says which version of the SDK to use - with or without the compiler. But other forum posts have implied its suppose to be the one with the compiler.

Now since we're overlaying the ...plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722\AIRSDK folder that would make sense.

But now there's a second overlay instructions page at:

http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/how-overlay-air-sdk-flex-sdk.html

with different instructions.

So my questions are:

   Which overlay instructions are we really suppose to use?

   Which version of the AIR SDK (with or with-out compiler) are we suppose to use?

   What does the Flex Library Project properties -> Flex Library Compiler -> 'Include Adobe AIR libraries' checkbox really do?

        If I've followed the (first) overlay instructions above, does this checkbox now mean I'm using the overlaid AIR SDK 3.6

        with the current Flex SDK I've chosen?

        What if I'm using the Apache Flex 4.9.1 SDK? Will the AIR SDK 3.6 overlay that?

            (Doesn't Apache Flex have AIR 3.4 embedded - will this confuse Flash Builder 4.7 ?)

Is it just me, or is this just getting more and more confusing? Can we perhaps get a AIR SDK combo box to go beside the Flex combo box and when we check the 'Include Adobe AIR libraries' then we can select the AIR SDK we want? And get a 'configure AIR SDKs...' link too? Then perhaps we can get completely away from overlays and all this merged SDK nonsense. I've had nothing but problems with it.

The real reason I need all this info is because I'm trying to use Flash Builder 4.7 to build an Android ANE and I'm having a devil of a time just trying to find my resources. When I use context.getResourceID() I'm not getting the correct resources - and after reviewing other posts here I came to the conclusion that it might be due to bugs in older AIR SDK's. So really, at the moment I could care less about the latest Flex SDK, I just need to know I'm working from the latest AIR SDK.

Thanks in advance.
