We are building FlashBuilder projects as part of continuous integration via ANT scripts. It looks something like this:

    <target name="main" description="Build all flex projects">

      <fb.exportReleaseBuild project="ProjectA" destdir="somedir" />

    </target>

And a .bat file that runs FlashBuilderC with standard parameters:

--launcher.suppressErrors -noSplash -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -data %WORKSPACE% -file "buildFlexContents.xml" main

So far this has worked great with FlashBuilder 4 and 4.6, but when we updated to 4.7, the following started to happen (parts of the .log file):

I have tried recreating the workspace, and changing -vm JDK paths to try with 1.7 to no avail.

Funny part about this is, that it works with FlashBuilder.exe (inside the GUI), but not with FlashBuilderC from the commmand line.

Any ideas why it can't find this class?

I'm really frustrated by this error. I was using flash builder 4.5 with no issues; I was able to get my first flash project on my android device. I updated my flash builder to 4.6 - and as a part of this process was told to uninstall the previous (Flash Builder 4.5) version. I installed, imported my old project - made a few reference changes and was able to get the desktop simulator to work with Flash Builder 4.6.

Now, I want my new project to run on my android and test with a gps sensor. I export release build - go through the steps I went through before and instead of it working; I get an error that my dx tool failed. No mention of what failed within the dx tool, just that it failed and I can't be helped. I rebooted my computer, same issue. I created a new project with nothing but just the stock project - still nothing worked. I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, created a new project and I'm still not working. How can I fix this and get back up and running?

I attached a screenshot of my error.

Thanks!

It took me many hours to figure this out so I thought I would share what I discovered to make it easier on others.

1.  Flash Builder 4.7 no longer has Design Mode (being able to design forms graphically).  4.6 was the last version to support it.

2.  Adobe will not sell you 4.6 (or 4.5).  They only sell 4.7.  They suggest you find a retailer who has an old box.

3.  Don't bother complaining, the word is "real programmers don't use design mode".

4.  I called support yesterday to get some questions answered.  I was told the wait time is over 2 hours and I can't leave a callback number.  (At least at that time, they only let you leave a callback number for product returns - which I also did.)

I spent over 8 hours on this yesterday at a cost, in terms of lost revenue, of 4 figures.  I hope this saves you some time.

Using windows 7.

Starting via double clicking the executable results in the loading screen and then nothing.

SOMETIMES, when started via the command-line, a popup appears after the initial splash screen saying that "the workspace is currently in use", which suggests that FlashBuilder is still running - which it isn't.

When started from the commandline using the FlashBuilderC.exe I get:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)>flashbuilderc.exe

Any Ideas?

Also, why is Abode support so bad?  I don't see many Adobe support comments on the Adobe forums and when going through the support portal http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=flash-builder&topic=using-my-product-or-servic e the phone number they provide isn't in use!!

I can't believe how expensive this product is for the quality it provides - my other post http://forums.adobe.com/message/5338632.

I just launched Flash Builder 4.7 (latest version) for the first time and went to Help -> Software Updates and get this error.

"'Contacting Software Sites' has encountered a problem. No repository found at http://aesplugins.adobe.com/aes/tooling/plugin/10.0."

Really sloppy, Adobe. Put this in your QA checklist!!

Out of curiosity does anyone else have problems with Flash Builder 4.7 freezing while building? I will save a file and it generally seems to freeze on 3% or 27% (those numbers might be related to my project, obviously). This happens several times each day. I have to force it to close and relaunch. Not a big deal since I don't lose any code but it's just more of an annoyance because it interrupts my workflow and the tabs I had open don't save.

Can I download a flash player that is compatible withmy galaxy tab 2?

I install Flash Builder 4.7 beta and I have some trouble. I'll try launch debugger, but he's stop on 57% and later shows me this message:

The Flash Builder debugger failed to connect to the running application.

Ensure that:

          1. For in-browser applications, you are running the debugger version of Flash Player.

          2. For network debugging on a mobile device, you have a reliable network connection to the device, and port 7935 is open on your machine's firewall.

I follow instuctions, and install flash player Flash Player 11.4 content debugger and put into /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/player/mac/11.4. Also downloaded playerglobal.swc and replaced /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/sdks/4.6.0/frameworks/libs/player/11.1. In Preferences/FlashBuilder/Debug/Standalone Adobe Flash Player I choose path /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/player/mac/11.4/Flash Player Debugger.app

Also I write into -swf-version=17 and choose Use a specific version 11.4.0 but it did't help me

Configuration:

OS: OSX 10.8.2

FlashBuilder: 4.7 beta

FlashPlayer: 11.4.402.265

This problem was also in FlashBuilder 4.6.

How to fix it?

Hello All,

               I desperately need your help. I have created dynamically created check boxes depending on my selection for my android app using the following code snippet.

for(var i:int=0 ; i<data.PromptText.length; i++)

                                            {

                                                   chk = new CheckBox();

                                                   chk.label= data.PromptText.getItemAt(i);

                                                   chk.name=data.ResponsePromptID.getItemAt(i);

                                                   chk.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,ClickEvent);

                                                   chk.width = 1000;

                                                   chk.height = 50;

                                                   addElement(chk);

}

Now after click on each check box, I need to check which check box of the list of check boxes created ?

Please help me, this is driving me nuts.

I tried adding a native extension for iOS and android using the normal SWC -> ANE -> FLEX chain.

It works with android but when I add the iOS target and files it crashes on running with the message:

/Users/user/Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/ANETESTSample/bin-debug/AOT/ANETESTSample-app.xml: error 102: Invalid namespace http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.7

I used the newest SDKs both with and without the compiler and followed the guides throroughly.

Any idea what can cause this?

(It doesn't happen until I add the ANE to the package)

Also: I have a zipped version of a sample app that I made and has this problem if someone wants to look at it

I am using com.adobe.ane.stageAd package with starling game I made (GravityEscape - it is an iPad game approved and released in store). Here is my problem, I am trying to show banner ads but they will not work.

a) In development test ads DID show. I thought everything was fine.

b) I am approved to use iAd. Contracts enabled, iAd is "live" in the dashboard.

c) iAd dashboard shows no requests? Why?

If anybody else has the no requests issue please let me know. I can find no documentation other than the autogenerated stuff here- http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/gamingsdk/anedocs/

Here is my code I am using on app init:

if(StageBannerAd.isSupported){

ad=newStageBannerAd();

ad.showOnlyIfLoaded=false;

ad.stage=this.stage;

ad.addEventListener(StageAdEvent.AD_LOAD_COMPLETE,adLoadStart);

ad.addEventListener(StageAdEvent.AD_LOAD_FAIL,adLoadEnd);

trace("iad init");

}else{

trace("iad is not supported");

}

I have downloaded and attempted to install Flash Builder 4.6 over the install of FB 4.5 that came with Web Premium 5.5

The serial number from my original install is not recognized as a valid serial number for FB 4.6

I am hesitant to uninstall FB 4.5 first and attempt the install of 4.6 since I am running Windows 7 64 bit and others in this forum are saying they have had install issues on that platform.

Come on Adobe !  You are better than this !

Anyone have a solution?

Hello,

I'm brand new on those forums and i'd like you to help me.

I have to precise that I'm French and I'm new in App Store Flash uploading.

So, I have to explain you my problem.

I want to upload a Full Flash AS3 app on the App Store.

I tested it on iPad2, iPad3, iPad mini, iPhone4, iPod touch, iOS6 and 7.1.1.

Everything worked correctly when I debuggued it, with the debug and the ad hoc mode.

So I decided to upload it on the App Store.

After some days of waiting and reviewing, my app was finally rejected.

They told me after clicking on abutton, there is a white screen that gets displayed and they can't go above this page.

I debuggued it once again, again and again, but nobody and no one could found an error on my as3 code.

So I come here to find some help, anybody who gets the same error or everything else ...

I link the app to you just here :

https://www.dropbox.com/s/kyml2rr3jf5l2zs/LE_PETIT_POUCET_BY_FUNNYCLIPS.ipa

If anybody could help me, I will be very very happy and you will get all my recognition.

Thanks by advance for your help

Greetings!

the wrong forum....Pleas help!

We are using Eclipse 3.4 or 3,5 with Flash 4 plugin and Flex SDK 3.3.0 on Win XP.

Project set comprises several (more than a couple dozen), dependent  Flex and Java projects.

Most of us run across an internal build error in all Flex projects:

"An internal build error has occurred. Right-click for more information"

The topmost stack trace entries are:

!ENTRY com.adobe.flexbuilder.project 4 43 2010-07-23 14:40:38.353

!MESSAGE Uncaught exception in compiler

!STACK 0

...

When it happens you can not open project "Properties | Flex Compiler"  dialog because error

message pops up saying "The currently displayed page contains invalid values."

I am not sure how "an internal build error..." relates to "...displayed page contains invalid values"

but  it worth to mention anyway.

So far we did not find how to get around the problem except deleting project set and even

sometimes uninstall Flash Builder 4 and start from scratch.

I represent a several teams in the big corporation (even I speak for myself) with many

licenses bought. It is so painful that, if  we do get help from Adobe we will  consider moving

out of Flash Builder and use another IDE.

Thanks for your help.

I have been trying without success for 2 days to install the tr

ial version of Flash Builder 4 but cannot get past the following erro

I am running XP service pack 2.

I have installed and continue to use Flex Builder 3.

Also running fully licensed copies of MS Vis Sudio 2005 and 2008, Adobe Master Collection CS4 and CS3; also trial version of WebOrb - all of which are working fine.

I have been running the setup/install using an account with admin rights

I have tried installing after booting up in Safe mode - doesn't help

I have confirmed that my account has full control over all the folders/files in the installation package

I have tried the install with virus protection turned off, and have tried right click>Run As> Current user - with "Protect my computer..." unchecked.

I suspect that I am either missing a dll or a dll needs to be registered - most likely the one required for opening and parsing the setup.xml file shown in the error log above, however, I have no idea which dll(s) are implicated.

Any help will be very gratefully received!

Hi,

I have used AAMEE to create an MSI install for our Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection.

I have followed the instructions to install Acrobat, then the main packages then the other exceptions.

I am now testing with a standard user account on our school network.

When the test user attempts to run Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 the following error occurs:

INVALID CONFIGURATION LOCATION:

The configuration area at \\servername\desktops\shared student desktop area\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\cascaded\335153\configuration could not be be created. Please choose a writable location using the " -configuration" command line option...

Please help...

I just installed Flash Builder 4.5 and I was hoping to choose my default workspace from the installer menu. No such luck. Then I changed the config.ini files to update the default workspace (as per http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t78109.rhtml) - that didn't work. And the tried Preferences > General > Startup & Shutdown > Workspaces, and checked off "Prompt for workspace on startup" which allowed me to successfully update my "default workspace".

The problem now is when I delete the "Adobe Flash Builder 4.5" folder in my "Documents" folder (I use a mac), it keeps creating new instances the of "Adobe Flash Builder 4.5" whenever I start or exit the program! So if FB doesn't see the folder, it creates a new one on startup and shutdown. Does anyone know how to make it stop?

This is kind of driving me crazy...any help would be much appreciated!

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

A few days agao I click on Software Updates under the help menu, which was a mistake.  I started getting errors, my workspaces would not load and I could not work.

I uninstalled FlashBuilder4.6, used the creative suite cleaner tool, and re installed.

Now I get

An error has occurred. See error log for more details.

org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText.getScrollbarsMode()I

every time I try to open a file.  I can create a project, files are recognized, but trying to open them give the above error.

I though I had cleared out all traces of eclipse before reinstalling, but maybe not.

Any advice would be greatily appreciated.

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!
