I have been using Flash Builder 4.6 for a sometime now to develop some android apps. This morning I try to start it and Flash Builder would open the splash screen and silently close. I have renamed the old work space but it created a new work space and closed again silently. I tried to rename the metadata folder, Flash Builder recreated a new metadata folder and closes again. I tried to follow these http://agileui.blogspot.com/2009/09/flashbuilder-4-silently-fails-while.html instructions but I get an error that

Gumbo.exe is not recognized as an Internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

So guys please help me, it is very frustrating to fight something which gives no errors. I am using windows 7. Thank you in advance

The title speaks for itself.

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:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2012-02-07 14:54:00.474

I have just installed Flash Builder 4.5 on my Windows 7 Enterprise edition. I installed this using my username (not Administrator), which has local administrative rights. When I start the program, I'm getting the error

---------------------------

Invalid Configuration Location

---------------------------

The configuration area at 'C:\Users\Administrator\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\cascaded\308971\configuration' could not be created.  Please choose a writable location using the '-configuration' command line option.

---------------------------

OK

Any reason for this error and what's the workaround?

Hello,

is there any modbus module to communicate with Modbus protocol in TCP-mode, like as http://www.automatedsolutions.com/products/modbustcp.asp for Flash?

Cheers

FlashBuilder 4.7 Premium

Flex SDK 4.6.0 w/ Air 3.5 overlayed

Mac OS X 10.8.2

I'm trying to run a small app from one of the FeathersUI tutorials. It runs fine on the Air Simulator, but once I try to run it on the iOS Simulator I get:

Error occurred while packaging the application:

I've read several different forums on Adobe and I see suggestions to remove Java 7 in favor of Java 6 (this isn't really a solution). I see to overlay Air SDK 3.4+ because Flex SDK 4.6 that comes with FB 4.7 is using Air 3.1. This didn't work.

I just upgraded from Flash Builder 4.0 to 4.7.  I used to be able to search my entire workspace using control+shift+f, but now, that works as some sort of text formatter.  How do I do this in 4.7?

Thanks for your help.

I've run into a memory leak problem during programming AS3.

I try to format a text in as3 and adding it to the stage, but there happens something crazy.

This is a part of my code:

var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();        format.size = 60;        var t:TextField = new TextField();        t.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;        t.text = "WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW";        t.setTextFormat(format);        t.scaleX = 1;        t.scaleY = 1;        this.addChild(t);

The moment I add this textfield to my stage and check the memory usage with adobe scout CC the "other bitmap memory" shows nothing weird and acts just fine.

BUT...

When I run this code and add a capital W to the text the "other bitmap memory" goes crazy.

The crazy thing is when I add a letter I to the text it just runs normal.

I think it has something to do with the width or the size of the font. Increasing the font size will give the same problems.

Does anyone now how to prevent this problem???

Im working with adobe flash builder 4.7 and adobe scout cc.

I have three different applications which suddenly stopped working with this error

Error #2046: The loaded file did not have a valid signature.

None of the sites has been touched in Months, I assumed they would keep working the way they had.

I wonder how many other sites are experiencing this and how many PO'd customers there are out there??

This is really bad business practice, what is causing it?

Dan Pride

Note: the three were developed around the same time, one domain went down for a few days and was then renewed????

Hi all,

i had a AdvancedDatagid with 100 rows and grouping.

after starting the application, the vertical scrollbar is not displayed. but after expand one entry and close it again, the scollbar is shown.

when i force the vertival scrollbar vie the command verticalScrollbarPolicy, the scollbar is shown but disabled. Again, after expand and close one entry, the scollbar is enabled.

I suppose, the AdvancedDatagid has no idea how much rows are available after grouping. also the navigation via keys don't work correctly. The up-arrow works fine, but the down-arrow not. But when the scrollbar is correctly shown, the navigation via keys works perfect.

After expand and close it looks like the adg calls a method and the rows will be calculate. depending of this update, ther scrollbar will be shown correctly.

can someone tell me, how can i fix it?

In the applicationComplete handler i call the groupCollection.refresh() method and the AdvancedDatagrid.refresh() method.

thanks is advanced

I purchased FB 4.5 for PHP Premium and was told that I'm entitled to a free upgrade to FB 4.6 for PHP 4.6 Premium.

The download was available in February but is no longer there... Any alternatives?

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,

Bart

I am trying to convert a Flash Builder 4.5 project to Flash Builder 4.7. I am having a lot of problems and eventually gave up and deleted the project files and just re-made the projects from scratch.

However, I am having problems embedding an asset. This line works:

[Embed(source = "image.png", mimeType="image/png")]

This line:

[Embed(source = image.png", mimeType="image/png", compression="true")]

Genererates the following errors:

Internal error in ABC generator subsystem, when generating code for: <removed>.as: java.lang.NullPointerException

and

Internal error in outgoing dependency subsystem, when generating code for:<removed>.as: java.lang.NullPointerException

Further, this line:

[Embed(source = "../../../../../../image.png", mimeType="image/png", compression="true", quality="70")]

Generates the following errors:

Internal error in outgoing dependency subsystem, when generating code for: image.png: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0

and a warning:

I am trying to make the project of type "ActionScript Library Project" using the Flex 4.6 SDK overlayed with AIR SDK 3.5 however without including the AIR library files.

After upgrading to the AIR 3.6 SDK which uses the new ASC 2.0 compiler all the ASDoc tasks in my Ant build files fail. I'm getting the error:

BUILD FAILED E:\Projects\Eclipse\project\build\build_swc.xml:51: The following error occurred while executing this line: E:\Projects\Eclipse\projectbuild\build_swc.xml:209: Problem: failed to create task or type asdoc Cause: The name is undefined. Action: Check the spelling. Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared. Action: Check that any / declarations have taken place.

Did Adobe remove the ASDoc Ant task? I can't find any information about this elsewhere. ASDoc generation worked flawless before I installed the 3.6 SDK.

Hi,

I am refactoring the project I am working to external link assets(flash assets), so I can load them on runtime.

This works in Flash builder 4.6 and you can observe a smaller .swf than if they are merged into code.

In FB 4.7 However it seems to ignore external linkage resulting in same size .swf as merged into code setting and I can run it fine without loading any external swf.

This seems to be yet another bug in FB 4.7 or its compiler, unless I am missing something.

Ps.

I am building the project with -frame parameter which seems to be the way to use a preloader with the new compiler:

see this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/4695625

The preloader is on frame 1, splash screens on frame 2 and 3 and rest of the project on frame 4.

Is this a known bug by any chance & or are there any ways around it.

I am using Asc2.0 Version 2.0.0 build 353448

Sincerely,

Ævar

I have a serial number for Flash Builder Std 4.5.

But I can't find the download link for Flash Builder Std 4.5.

When I tried with Flash Builder 4.7.  It says serial number is no good.

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.
