Flash Builder 4.5 + AIR 3.0 RC1 does not output modules to correct location

Hello
I'm having some trouble with Flash Builder 4.5 and Flex SDK 4.5.1.21328 with AIR 3.0 RC1. Flash Builder does not appear to compile modules into the location set in the "Edit module" dialog.
The screenshots below show that the output path of a module is set to a specific folder, yet Flash Builder compiles the module into the default sub-folder.
#1. Project properties showing application modules
#2. Dialog showing the path to the module. Not the "Output SWF" location. The default location is the same as the package namespaces, eg: "d6/v3/banners/Banners.swf". After removing the path the module should compile into the output folder (set to bin/debug), however as the next screenshot shows, the module still compiles into the default sub-folder.
#3. The module is compiled into a sub-folder of the output folder, instead of into the "root" of the output folder.
#4. The output folder contains only the main application, with a sub-folder for the module.
#5. Project pproperties showing the output folder.
There is a workaround - move the module source file into the "Default package" in the package explorer.

I experienced this problem today, and kind of "solved" it. There may be an underlying bug, though.
My project compiled fine last Thursday, but I opened it up on Monday (unchanged) and this error showed up in several files. I tried quitting and restarting Flash Builder to no avail. I could not replicate the problem in a new project.
For me, each occurence of the error was at a private function definition, so I thought I would try changing "private" to "public" on one of the functions. The error immediately went away in all 3 locations (not just the one I edited). I then changed it back to "private" with no error.
I hope that will help the Adobe team track down the problem.

  • Flash builder 4.7 air 3.6 new adt compiler

    Hi. Ive been having serious issues when i tried to "Export release build" using air 3.4 and/or air 3.5 on Flash builder 4.7. Goit a lot of nonsense java.lan.nullpinter exceptions and similar errrors.
    When i tried to debug or run, even on device generating the ipa, everything ok. But when i tried to export the project, and it tried to re-compile it, always got absurd java errors.
    Ive tried everything: downgrade the java virtual machine, reinstalling flash builder, air, even windows!!! Nothing worked. Even recovering previous stages of the project where I originally could export it (its even published on the appstore!). No use. The app that was working no problem, now when trying to export returns a lot of javanull pointers or similar crap.
    BUT, when trying to generate the ipa through via command lines  on the ms dos console it works!! So... its obvious the problem was on the adl+java duo.
    Thing is, I updated to the just released AIR 3.6 (not the beta, the release version). It uses .exes(on windows, which is the system im using)  instead of java, so it showed promise.
    I overlayed the air version on the flash builder following this instructions:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4797974
    Well, not exaclty, because then flash builder throws a lot of errors and dosent show me the package explorer for instance.
    I made a copy of the AIR folder, but not deleted the content, just copied the new air version files over and substitute the replicas, but kept the originals where no new file substituted them (dont know if im explaining it ok, sorry for my english).
    It worked... except for the damn "Export release build" option. It keeps trying to debug it using java instead of using the new adt. And I cant find how to change that.
    The adt on the other hand is being used ok, as i can check it when I try to run or debug the project targetting a device. Before I could check the command used and now Im not, so Im pretty sure its using the new .exe instead of the java version. But now I dont know how to generate the ipa targetting the app store, for instance via command line using the new adt nor can i do it exporting the project from the flash builder IDE.
    SO...
    is there anyone having similar problems?
    How can I correctly overlay air 3.6 over Flash Builder 4.7 and force it to use the new air adt and adl?
    Anyone tried?
    Thanks in advance folks!!!

    Thanks everyone for your collaboration.
    Hey Nabren, What do you mean by "as well"?
    Just to make it clear. I already followed the instructions here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder. html
    to overlay the air sdk. And the folder you are pointing me is the ONLY ONE the instructions tell me to replace. BUT when you say "as well" I understand something else have to be done.
    Ill explain the whole process Ive followed and the consequences:
    As I said I replaced the content on the AIRSDK placed in the fodler C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722 (or similar), for the content of the new SDK.
    The result is that flash builder throws me a lot of errors and is unable  to show even the package explorer, for instance or create a mobile project, so I went back to the original AIR folder. No problem there.
    When I was using flash builder 4.6 I overlayed the sdks in this way: made a copy of the last flex SDK (which already had the air sdk inside), and copied the content of the  latest AIR SDK over the current sdk, replacing only new files, keeping those not includded on the air sdk. That way I could keep several flex+air sdks, and could select wich sdk to use for each library/project. Now this doesnt work anymor on flahs builder 4.7.
    So I tried this:
    I made a copy of the AIR sdk under C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722 and copied over the new sdk ont he folder overwritting new files,keeping those not included on the new sdk... and this works! Everythings fine. I can debug complex projects on air simulator even launch it on an iphone or ipad...
    BUT it keeps throwing me JAVA errors (null pointer exceptions and things like that) when exporting that makes no sense at all (different errrors without making any change, now no error now another one...).
    More info on the projects provoking this behaviour:
    They are mobile projects (ios mainly). They use several libraries. Some of them come from compiled swcs from flash cs6 (wich contains classes we are using as views). All libraries have been double checked. They are fine. The problems emerge when trying to export targetting the apple store. Weve double checked the provisioning and the certificate. They are correct. In fact, when we try to generate the ipa using adt via command lines on ms-dos it works!
    Weve tried to remake and the rebuild the project class by class, even recreate the flas we are using to generate the swcs to be used as libraries on the project... it only works when the project is almost empty. As soon as some content is added.. bumm! Java errrors all over when trying to export.
    Our main machine is an i7 2.93 Ghz, 8 GB ram, 64 bits. Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits, using Flash builder 4.7 64 bits and flash cs6 64 bits. But we have checked on other mahines and sme thing happens.
    Doesnt anyone else have these problems? Is there any other way to overlay the air sdk?
    Thanks again.

  • Are Flash Professional Buttons broken in Flash Builder 4.7/AIR 3.4?

    Moved my ActionScript Mobile Project game from Flash Builder 4.6 / AIR 3.2 yesterday to the new release of 4.7 / AIR 3.4. I immediately ran into a problem with Flash Professional Button's working incorrectly. The buttons have linkages in a SWC exported from Flash Professional CS6, which the project has linked. The content of the buttons doesn't seem to matter. It seems to break in different ways visually depending on it's composition (sometimes it loads unreleated bitmap data or displays with a strange transformation). Has anyone else seen this behaviour so far?

    I don't have the time to create a unique project for adobe bug database. So many are having the same issue, I'm shocked that Adobe doesn't know about this already. This discussion that I'm writing in right now was started in december, almost 7 months ago.
    Joseph Labrecque says in his blog that adobe does know of this issue and is working on it, he said that 6 months ago. Is he incorrect?
    Joseph LabrecqueJanuary 4, 2013 at 6:21 pmGood news that Adobe is actively working on a fix for this issue.

  • SWC PNG's invisible when compression is set to JPEG in Flash Builder 4.7/AIR 3.4

    Moved my ActionScript Mobile Project game from Flash Builder 4.6 / AIR 3.2 yesterday to the new release of 4.7 / AIR 3.4. One side effect was that when my PNG's in my assets SWC were set to use JPEG compression instead of PNG, they are invisible at runtime. I haven't found any mention of this when searching so far. I can just use PNG compression for now, but it's nice to have the choice. Anyone else run into this problem?

    I haven't seen this come up, however you might want to give our latest AIR 3.5 build a try (12/11/2012 - AIR 3.5 Runtime and SDK Update).  If it still occurs, could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com?  Please post back with the URL so that others affected can add their comments and votes.

  • Flash builder 4.7 AIR 17 compile-abc-64 fail on x32 OS

    Ls,
    Since AIR 16 I cant compile to iOs on my x32 Os (windows vista ultimate)
    On my laptop its fine, uses x64 windows 7.
    Failure because of compile-bc-64.exe not working on x32 (makes sense sure)
    So: Is there a way to not have it use the -64.exe but only the normal compile-abc.exe?
    Flash builder: 4.7
    AIR sdk: latest two 16. & 17
    OS: windows Vista ultimate x32
    Highest regards,
    Mac

    I finally found what probelem i have. Visual studio has corrupted one dll. Flahs is crashing due to my browser in 64bits which has problem. I found that it could be a probleme while installing a .net framework. But unfortunately i can't delete or uninstall this framework, i had no option to uninstall it. I guess the best way is to format my computer. But as i am waiting for a new worksatation dedicated to your tool and zbrush of course(for stage3d is a real improvment), i won't format it now it would take too much time to resintall everything and i would have to do this again when i will received my workstation
    If someone has problem like that there might be a solution(not the best but at least it works)
    To solve my problem as i have to make an app in flash builder. I downloaded the 32 bits version of flash builder 4.7. And i will resintall the 64 bits as soon as i received my workstation.

  • Flash Builder and Adobe AIR: anybody there?

    Hi,
    I've recently posted quite a few posts reporting very serious bugs of both Flash Builder 4.6 and Adobe AIR especially on mobile platforms, and asking about possible fixes and workarounds.
    I would have expected immediate replies by someone at Adobe showing some interest in such blocker bugs that render Flash Builder completely useless, and developing AIR apps for mobile impossible. But there was no reply at all.
    I wonder, are Flash Builder and Adobe AIR being maintained, or have they been abandoned? Because in the latter case I'd rather know it and stop wasting my time using this platform for development.
    thanks
    m.

    I feel your preoccupations, Matteo. I have them too.
    A few days ago, Gartner issued a document, called - as usual for Gartner - "magic quadrant", related to Mobile App Develpment 2012.
    This document explains the situation of the different vendors so one can make an educated choice about the IDE to use for platform-independent mobile things.
    Adobe is well-positioned in this quadrant. However, Gartner (who have talks with vendors before issueing their reports) only referred to PhoneGap when explaining how Adobe addresses mobile app development.
    This is a shame, because FB is powerful and uses ActionScript (which many of us like).
    I have bought FB last year and had fun with it. I don't think it's going to last for long, if I Adobe doesn't show that HTML5 + CSS aren't the only way to go.

  • The build directory of the test run either does not exist or access permission is required.

    i am trying to run automated tests
    i follow the steps in the web but when i have 2 issues that does not solve
    1. i created console project and add build definition without drop folder and queue builds that success.
    2. i created C# unit test and add build definition and run it from VS and it worked and done what i want to do.
    3. i built lab with 1 machine and define the controller on this pc ( the machine in the lab is another pc)
    4. i created test suite with test cases and from vs 2013 i associated automation nethod that i created in 2.
    5. when i try to associate the builds for the test plan i have a PROBLEM(1):
    this happened every new build that i try to assign - all the builds appears after refresh and when i press assign to plan button
    a pop up shown with error : " The build that you selected for this plan no longer exist " but he chose it in build in use but there no work item under it - the list is empty even that there are 2 tests under this test suite.
    and than when i try to run the automated tests i have this PROBLEM(2):
    The build directory of the test run either does not exist or access permission is required. and the test failed.
    Please Help
    Roey

    Hi Rory,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    According to the error message:
    (1) a pop up shown with error : " The build that you selected for this plan no longer exist "
    I tried to create a build definition without the drop folder location for unit test solution from the VS IDE, and then I try to select the Build in use option to add the Available builds, then click this Assign to plan. I found that I get same error message
    with yours like the following screen shot.
    However, when we try to create a build definition with drop folder location for this same unit test solution and then build successfully in the VS IDE.
    After you add the Available builds and then click this Assign to plan in the MTM, it work fine.
    Therefore, I assume that the issue is related to that you did not specify a build directory for automated test case. MTM need to know where is the drop location of the build building your tests.
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20033217/couldnt-run-my-test-using-microsoft-test-manager
    In addition, I did some research about the problem 2:"The build directory of the test run either does not exist or access permission is required. and the test failed."
    I know that the error message occur in either of the following conditions:
    1. The account under which test controller is running does not have read permission on the build directory. (The build directory is same as the drop location of build associated with this test run.) 
    2. The build directory itself does not exist.
    So please refer the following blog to check this issue:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/aseemb/archive/2009/11/25/error-starting-the-test-run-build-directory-of-the-test-run-is-not-specified-or-does-not-exist.aspx
    Therefore, I suggest you can try to specify a drop location for build when you run the automated test from the MTM and then check this issue.

     Hi Shada this can happen if you are including additional installers to your installer for example DAQmx. When you are doing this the installer has to include other files like MAX (Measuremente and Automation Explorer). Probably when you installed Vision Builder it updated MAX, so when your installer is trying to Include MAX, its asking for the source where it was installed in your computer in this case Vision Builder.
     Here you can cache the information so its not asked again, or you can download a newer version fo DAQmx, so it will update MAX and change de dependecy.

  • Build.vi does not output Generated files list for installer

    In LV 2011, Build.vi does not output a "Generated files" list when used on an installer. Example attached. When run on my system, "Generated files" is an empty array and "error out" shows no errors or warnings. The built installer can be found on disk, so I know the build succeeded.
    I critically need to know the target folder for my built installer so I can use it in an automated build tool. Assuming this is a real bug, can someone help me with a workaround that doesn't require an operator to point the VI to the target path?
