Publishing to Mac from PC with Flash Builder 4.6

I have recently switched from Flash Pro to Flash Builder to write actionscript projects. I would like to publish the finished application for both PC and Mac. I don't want to use the air installer as most potential customers won't have air installed. I have tried the captive runtime option, and this will work well for the PC version, but I am unsure how to package the resulting files for use on a Mac or whether there is a more suitable option for the Mac app (such as the Mac Projector in Flash Pro)
Any help would be appreciated.

Publishing multiple swfs from a single flash builder project

I have a flash builder 4.5 pure as3 project. Originally there was one document class and it was publishing a swf with the same name. Except for the standard flash builder bugs, that was working most of the time.
Now I need to add a preloader in to the mix.
So I made a Preloader.as class in my classpath and added that to my runnable applicaiton files in the projects menu. (I need this to be a seperate swf and not deffered loading on frame two)
Then I go to run/debug settings to set it up so that preloader can compile out a preloader.swf.
It doesn't work. It gives me a missing html file error.
Also, I want different comiler settings between the preloader and the main document class, yet only seem to have the option to add a single project wide compiler settings.
Can some one please explain to me the best practice for setting something like this up, or point me to documentation that covers this?

Hi,
You would need to make invisible buttons on the image.
For example, keep the image in layer 1.
Create a new layer say layer 2.
Now draw the button shapes, select them individually and press F8 to make buttons selecting Button option.
Once the shapes are converted into buttons, double-click on them to enter the edit mode.
Remove all the frames except the last frame which is known as the hit state.
Come back to stage view and you are ready to implement the scripts.
Warm Regards

IOS/AIR Running and Debugging Issues with Flash Builder

I'm having very frustrating intermittent issues running and debugging Flex applications on an iPad 3rd generation retina with Flash Builder 4.7.
Until this morning, launching on device using both standard and fast packaging worked pretty well. Every now and again, I'd get a dialog saying the packaging had completed successfully, but it hadn't. A quick change of the USB cable to another port on my iMac and it started working again. I'd also randomly get a "Error occurred while installing the application: Invalid <device> specified" error, which quickly went away.
This morning, with the same code base, the same certificate and provisioning profiles, Flash Builder has only managed to successfully package and run my application on my iPad twice and I must have attempted to launch fifty or so times. Standard packaging, fast packaging and with and without the useLegacyAOT.
Does this sound like a Flash Builder issue? Is my iMac USB driver dodgy? Has anybody else experienced this?
Any help greatly welcomed!
Thanks,
Simon

Hi I have had this problem sometimes. With my Mac Book Pro.
Try making a new flex application and see if you have the same result.
When I had this problem I created a new Application and copied every thing from my other application.
This my be a hard solution but I don't no any others.

Trouble with Flash Builder 4.6?

I’ve tried every version from 4.5 to 4.7 premium edition of Flash Builder in order to get past this bug that I can’t seem to move past in order to continue with the design process. The problem I’m having is this:
I’ve setup a new project and everything works great. The problem occurs when I try to access the Data/Services I’ve created for my project. When I right click on the created service in order to access “Configure Return Type” nothing happens, I tried this at least 10 different times using all the various versions. I have since deactivated 4.5 and installed and activated 4.6 and tried it with that version with no success. All of the other contextual features of that menu respond to the right click, just not the Configure Return Type…
I’m running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 with Flash Builder 4.6 at the present time.
I need to know how to get this feature to work so that I can continue on with the project I'm wanting to work on...

Thanks for your post. You may want to post this in the developers forum. You will proably get a faster answer.

Adobe AIR 2 Beta with Flash Builder 4 Beta 2

I'm trying to figure out how to use AIR 2 with Flash Builder 4. I was initially under the impression that FB4 has AIR2... but the when I create a File object and try to call the function openWithDefaultApplication(). An error occurs saying the function doesn't exist. This is the AIR application I created in FB4. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to install AIR 2 somehow -- and if so, how do I do so?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                            xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                            xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo">
     <fx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
               private function launch():void{
                    var myfile = new File("C:\Windows\notepad.exe");
                    myfile.openWithDefaultApplication();
          ]]>
     </fx:Script>
     <s:Button x="439" y="155" label="Button" mouseDown="launch()"/>
</s:WindowedApplication>
Thanks in advance.

Download the AIR 2 SDK, make a new copy of the Flex4 SDK (or whichever Flex SDK you want to use) and copy the AIR SDK over it. (If you are on the Mac, you have to be careful that the directories themselves aren't overwritten -- just the files inside them.) You then add the combined SDK to the list in the Flash Builder project properties dialogs.

Starting iOS development with Flash Builder 4.6

Hi guys,
I want to start iOS development with Flash Builder 4.6. I have iPad 2 with iOS 6 installed (latest version available).
I was following this tutorial step by step: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/mobileapps/WS064a3073e805330f6c6abf312e7545f65e-8000.html #WSe4e4b720da9dedb5-27e02e9a12ee20e4a60-7fff
As a part of it I also did this:
Convert a developer certificate into a P12 file - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/iphone/WS144092a96ffef7cc-371badff126abc17b1f-7fff.html
Installed AIR SDK version 3.4.0.2540 as for 4.5 (I have 4.6) - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/error-run-debug-deploy-ios.html
I try Now I am getting the follwoing errors:
Error occurred while packaging the application:
SDK is missing file /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/sdks/4.6.0/lib/aot/lib/AIRInterpreter
Error occurred while packaging the application:
SDK is missing file /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/sdks/4.6.0/lib/aot/bin/ld64/i686-apple-darwin9-ld64
Required files are missing indeed. But where can I find them if AIR SDK doesn't have them? What should I do now?

All the files in lib/aot/ are part of the AIR sdk.
You'll have to overlay the AIR sdk on top of the Flex SDK (which comes with FlashBuilder).
On windows, simply copy-paste the AIR folder on the Flex SDK folder. (merge the two folders)
On mac, use a command line and ditto the AIR sdk folder on Flex SDK folder.

Trace() not working with embedded SWFs created with Flash Builder

I have just migrated to Flash Builder 4.5 with the 4.5.1 SDK.
I have an application that loads a lot of child SWFs into it - some of which are created with Flash, some are created with Flash Builder.
I am noticing now that my trace() statements that are called from within SWFs produced with Flash Builder that are loading as child SWFs into my main SWF are NOT appearing. However, trace() statements called from within SWFs produced with Flash that are loading as child SWFs into my main SWF ARE appearing.
This is an extremely major problem and has short-circuited my debugging/development.
Any recommendations, workarounds, or suggestions?

If the child SWFs were created by performing an "Export Release Build", then trace() statements would be omitted.
You can control this by setting the -omit-trace-statements compiler argument (in Project properties -> Flex Compiler -> Additional Compiler Arguments).

Just downloaded the Apache Flex 4.8.0 with their installer application and tried to use it with flash builder 4.7 beta 1.

Does anyone had the same issue?
cyrill

Hi Crill,
I don't see any error on creating new projects and running the same.
Where did you get the installer from?
What is the framework linkage type? You can check this in project properties -> flex build path. It should be Merged into code for Apache SDK.
thanks,
Sudhir

AIR 2.6 SDK incompatible with Flash Builder 4?

I just installed the new AIR 2.6 SDK but FB4 complains that every swc file in the libs folder is "incompatible with this SDK" when I switch to design view. The application compiles and runs fine, I just can't see it in design view in FB4.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I tried deleting my Flash Builder 4 folder from C:\Users\<username>\ and restarting FB4 in case it was a dodgy profile, but it made no difference.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

from http://blogs.adobe.com/cantrell/archives/2011/03/how-to-use-air-2-6-with-flash-builder-4.h tml:
Right-click on your project and choose "Properties".
Select the "Flex Compiler" section.
In the "Additional compiler arguments" field, add -target-player=11.
Click "OK".

Can't get Extension Builder 2.0 with Flash Builder 2.6 to run. I installed Flash Builder 4.6 premium then install CSExtensionBuilder_2_Retail_LS1.
When I create a new hello world project and run it I get a CSIDE1 Sign In for my Adobe ID. I sign in I get operation in progress and then back to the previous screen. It just continues to ask for a sign in.
Anyone else have this problem or any advice to get this working?

Unable to test iOS app on iPad with Flash Builder 4.7 OSX Yosemite

After upgrading to OSX Yosemite, i'm unable to test my iOS app on my device.
Compilation and packaging works as expected but app is never installed on my device connected trough USB.
Anyone having the same problem?
Thanks

I've found the solution on another post (Re: Run/Debug on a device with Flash Builder 4.7 on OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) and iOS7) having app installation problem on Mavericks.
Disable your device WiFi and install your application from Flash Builder. Then enable your device wifi. It work for me.
Thanks

How to delete a tab from TabNavigator in Flash Builder 4.6?

I have a RSS Reader project I have added tabNavigator to manage tabs now I am trying to delete one tab but when Running App Tab is still there.
I have visibility False and enabled False
Please help me!!!!

You can use http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/air/air3-8_sdk_sa_mac.tbz2 with FB 4.6. Below are the steps to overlay the sdk
1. Exit Flash Builder.
2. (Optional) Back up the Flex SDK by copying the entire directory.
In Flash Builder, for example, copy the directory at:
Mac OS: /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/sdks/4.6.0
3. Download the appropriate AIR SDK file for your operating system e.g. http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/air/air3-8_sdk_sa_mac.tbz2, unzip and save it on your MAC OS X.
4. In Terminal, run the below command
sudo ditto /path/air3-8_sdk_sa_mac /Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.6/sdks/4.6.0
5. (Optional) To access the new AIR 3.8 APIs, update your application descriptor file to the 3.8 namespace.
To update the namespace, change the xmlns attribute in your application descriptor to: <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.8">
6. (Optional) To ensure that the output SWF file targets SWF version 21, pass an additional compiler argument: -swf-version=21.
Hope this will help.

Nimit

How to renew your self-signed certificate p12 with Flash Builder

I have been using a self-signed certificate (generated using Adobe Flash Builder 4.7) for my Android app. The app is live on Google Play market but the certificate is going to expire soon, and I know if I create new certificate and update my app, existing Android users will not be able to auto-update the app (as the App's Signature has been changed). I would like to know how can we re-new the self-signed Certificate .p12 with Flash Builder?
Thank you very much.

After doing my research about the self-signed certificate created by Adobe Flash Builder , I realized that was my mistake to think that the certificate would expire soon. I doubled check the expiration date of my self-signed certificate and the date was set to 35 years after I generated it using flash builder 4.7 (which is very safe).
For anyone who wants to check the self-signed .p12 expiration date you follow the instruction from this link:
http://bsdsupport.org/how-do-i-determine-the-expiration-date-of-a-p12-certificate/
Hope it helps

Creating Portfolios with Flash Builder 4.6 and the 4.1a SDK

I've been following the instructions and tutorials on the creation of Navigators for Acrobat with Flash Builder but it seems to be missing a few steps along the way.
http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfdevjunkie/ax-portfoliosdk_intro/ax-portfoliosdk1
Symptoms:
- When I run the navigator (run as navigator) I get an error "Error: Error #2067: The ExternalInterface is not available in this container. ExternalInterface requires Internet Explorer ActiveX, Firefox, Mozilla 1.7.5 and greater, or other browsers that support NPRuntime."
- Once dismissed the "for the best experience" message is displayed with a prompt to download the latest Reader.
Correct SDK's are being used.

Solved it. Just added the following in the <InfoAdditions> tag for iPhone in my app descriptor XML file:
<key>UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities</key>
<array>
<string>wifi</string>
<string>armv6</string>
<string>armv7</string>
