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.

I can get premium very easily off of the website, but it will not let me activate with my 4.7 standard key.  I need flash builder 4.7 standard.  After hours of searching I have not found any way to download it.  This should be easy!

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!!

I'm trying connect to database using flash builder.

I'm click Connect to Data / Service... under Data Services.

selecting PHP and insert a db user, hostname, dbname etc.

but when I trying to connect database, i seeing an java.io.EOFException error.

I trying to using 3306 , 80 or blank database port but seeing a same error.

how can i fix this error and connecting a database.

you can see a screenshots.

I have the following code, which attempts to stringify the member1 object

try {

    var member1:Object = {

      mediaId: meterEvent.mediaId,

      publisherId: meterEvent.publisherId

   };

   var val:String = JSON.stringify(member1);

} catch (err:Error) {

/// exception is called

}

but this throws an exception " ReferenceError: Error #1065". I have trying to get this going for several hours but cannot seem to find a solution. I am using Falsh Builder 4.7 and the Air SDK 3.4 to compile and build the swf. I suspect that maybe the issue is that the flash player where the code is running on maybe not be compatible. The version of the Flash Player is 12,0,0,70

Any idea of where to go from here. The larger context is that i am using URLRequest and URLLoader to formulate a HTTP POST with a JSON body

cheers

I just bought a Asus Nexus 7 32GB tablet and installed a Flash Builder v4.6 app that I've been working on and everything was working great.  Then I saw there were OS upgrades, so I updated to 4.2.1 and the app worked just fine.  Then I saw that another upgrade was available, so I installed 4.2.2 and my app stopped working.  When launched it throws up the message "Unfortunately, App XXX has stopped".  I didn't change anything.  I even tried uninstalling it and re-installing the app it will throw up the same error.  I've searched the web and found people had to perform a factory reset to get their apps working again, but I don't want to do this.  I want to determine what is going on, but I have no way to tell.  The app has been downloaded from my website and installed.  I don't want to hook the Nexus up to my PC yet and try running a debug version of the app or change anything until I know what is happening.  I've got another user testing my app on their Samsung Galaxy and a Nexus 7 as well and they are getting the same error.  Any ideas as to why this might be happening?

On a side note I have my app working on a Motorola Droid RAZR M and an iPhone 4 without issues.  It seems to be related to v4.2.2 of Jellybean.

Update 12:59pm 05/17/2014:

I was able to generate a bug report on the Nexus and it comes down to a Java issue:

It looks like v4.2.2 doesn't support this method any more so how do I get it to work?

Hi, I got Flash Builder Buritto at Adobe Max  and havn't touched it in a while.  I wanted to play with it a bit today, and when I tried to open it, the Eclipse Helios logo popped up, instead of Flash Builder 4 Burrito, and then suddenly closed again without any notification or warning.  I have tried this multiple times and it just won't open.

I currently have Flash Builder 4 Premium and Flex builder 3 professional installed on my computer in 2 different places from the burrito instilation.

Thanks.

I am having trouble launching my Actionscript Mobile Project on a device which has iOS7 installed. It recieved this error.

Error occurred while installing the application:
Invalid <device> specified

I can still deploy to my other device with iOS6, I'm running FB4.7 and OSX 10.9. Has anyone else seen this?

Hey,

We have bought a license key for upgrade from Flash Builder 4.0 SE to Flash Builder 4.7 SE, but we need access to Designer View which is not available in FB 4.7.

Our distributor tell us, that it is possible by doing downgrade to Flash Builder 4.6. To do it we should contact with Adobe Support.

So our questions are:

1. How can we downgrade Flash Builder from 4.7 SE to 4.6?

2. Could we change our license key to 4.6 license key?

3. How can we download Flash Builder 4.6 binary files?

Best regards,

Juri

It says error on line 34. It would be helpful if I could see line numbers. I looked through the preferences but could not find any.

Can someone help me with this thanks.

Hello!  I love your Adobe products.

I was working with flash builder 4.6 on MacOS 10.8.5.

My problem is that printableArea of the PrintJob class in Web-version is different with Air-version.

My coding here...

>>> Air-version

myPrintJob.addPage(_page, PrintJob.printableArea);

>>> Web-version

myPrintJob.addPage(_page, new Rectangle(

     (myPrintJob.paperWidth - myPrintJob.pageWidth) / 2,

     (myPrintJob.paperHeight - myPrintJob.pageHeight) / 2,

     myPrintJob.pageWidth,

     myPrintJob.pageHeight

));

I debugged the value. The paper is "A4".

- Air-version

PrintJob.printableArea = (18, 18, 559, 783)

- Web-version

myPrintJob(paperWidth = 595, paperHeight = 842, pageWidth = 559, pageHeight = 783)

But… Printed result as PDF is a lot different.

WHAT HAVE I MISTAKE?

If you want, I can send the printed result as pdf.

I Hope your answer.

Thank you.

I got an error with ASDOCS that I do not understand. I am using Flash Builder 4 on MAC and it is an Actionscript project.

I had cleaned up all the errors that related to content in the project folder, but was left with the one above that seems unrelated to content.

If it helps the ASDoc configuration file is this:

I have multiple projects that when viewed in FB 4, show in design view perfectly. I have custom skinning and it all looks like it should.

I moved these projects over to FB 4.5, and they all look terrible. It basically makes the design view unusable.

I have a Flex 4 project with spark components and spark skinning which shows up correctly, but all my mx projects with classic mx skinning does not show up at all.

Suggestions?

I tried everything to get the update. I rebooted several times. Reinstalled several times. NOTHING! This is driving me crazy as I can just watch the videos in the webinars but cannot do anything. Someone please help. I hope Adobe is listening. It is really NOT FAIR to show something cool for which we paid money and then not give it to us. Several people have reported this problem.

Here is the error that I am getting:

Adobe Flash Builder 4.5.1
  There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M2I218

If I try "Help -> Search for Flash Builder Updates" it is saying that my application is up to date. IT IS NOT!!!!!

Hi,

Good news I found a way to get the content Assist working with flash bluider 4.7, you need only to ignore svn folders and files in the project properties

project>properties>Ressources>ressource filter>add>

check the following options :

exclude all

Folders

All childrens (recursive)

and then choose name *.svn*

validate and close windows try a cmd+space or ctrl+space I have no more java.lang.nullpointerexception !!

if you don't have any svn files in your project maybe your problem comes from some other source

Hello,

I'm trying Flash Builder 4.7 but I see there is missing features in the Softaware.

I didn't found this important features in the preferences and I think you could add this new features in the new version of FB:

• Syntax coloring like Flash Professional: Coloring the AS3 keywords properties and methods like (addChild, x, y, width, height, etc.)
• Custom format code. In FB 4.7 there no way to custom the format code in AS3 but you can do it for Java.
• AutoClose : Inserts matching bracket, paren, brace or quote
• A list of color themes

I hope it will help to improve this software.

Cheers.

Adobe or anyone know how to fix this issue? or even what is going on?!

I'm tempted to flash the Galaxy Note with Android 4.2.2 or 4.4 google stock rom, to see if it fixes any problems...
However it wouldn't be a true Galaxy Note 10.1 test device anymore, which was the point in buying the thing.

The only things which stand out in all this to me are:

1. The tablet disconnects mid way through the debug publish process, but sometimes the galaxy s4 does also but it doesn't stop it from working?! Timing issue with compiler and data transfer timings? Missing apk file in data temp directory?

2. Android 4.1.2 is on the Tablet and 4.2.2 is on the mobile, could it be an issue with the AIR SDK not correctly handling 4.1.2 where as it is fine with 4.2.2?

Maybe I should have gone the way of the virtual machine... :\

My next tests will be to root the device (odin) and see if I can copy over APK files for installation via the file browser on the device as at the moment APK file transfer is blocked (I don't have the apk copying issue on a non-rooted galaxy s4 however).

Anyone got anything?

PS. Adobe - Image upload doesn't work on this forum editor (chrome).

Hi I am currently developing a mobile application within Flashbuilder 4.5 Pro. However I am having issues as I cannot seem to add a drop down list to my application and have it work properly. I have created the code below and this effectively creates a drop down list and populates it with items, however when the user clicks on an item it is not selected in the field.

This also happens when I am testing it on my machine and the only way to select the item is to click on the list and then use the down arrow on the keyboard which I cannot do in the application. Can someone please help me????

Hello,

I found flash builder 4.5 for php and flash builder 4.6, where is flash builder 4.6 for php ?

I cannot get Flash Builder (4.6 or 4.7) to recognize my Nexus 7, plugged into my MacBook (running OSX 10.6) via USB.

I followed the instructions here:

http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html

and can see my device from the command line via 'adb devices'.

I also ensured that my Android SDK /platform-tools folder is in my $PATH.

However, when I set up a run config to test directly on the device, the Choose Device dialog appears, with a message that 'Flash Builder could not find a connected device'.  I followed the instructions here:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashbuilder/using/WSe4e4b720da9dedb5-2e7310a1136ab7c1811-7ff3 .html

and see on my Nexus that USB debugging is connected.

I'm not sure what else to try at this point.  Any clues?
