AIR Debugger crashing in Flash Builder [Unload SWF]?

I'm using the latest 4.5 Flash Builder and have been working on an Android app for the Motorola Xoom.  It works great and the development environment is borderline flawless.  I have noticed one thing that keeps happening.  When running my app on the laptop OR the Xoom directly from FB it works great.  When I debug the app on my laptop it also works great, but sometimes when I try and debug on the device itself I get about 5 seconds of runtime and then the app mysteriously crashes on the device (goes to home screen) and the last thing shown in the console is [Unload SWF].
Any ideas?  I have no doubt it is something I am doing but have been unable to find any solutions.
Thank you!

I have this problem but I have found the reason.
I'm using external graphics from a .swc file. This problem appear when I'm loading an instance of a Movieclip that have inside another movieclip with property "visible" set to false. I have set it to true again on Flash, export again .swc, and set visible to false by code, while I have just created de object on run-time before add it to scene.

  • Air Auto Update Error -- Flash Builder Burrito.

    This is my first attempt at this, so I may be missing something simple.
    I'm not having any luck getting an Air app to automatically update.
    If I manually go to  http://localhost/air1/air1.air and redownload the file I will get a popup that asks if I want to update the app, but when I say ok I get this error.
    "There was an error checking for updates. Error# 16816"
    I haven't found a reason yet,
    Any ideas?

  • Overlaying adobe air sdk 13 in flash builder 4.7

    After overlaying adobe air sdk 13 in flash builder 4.7 I have followed the step mentioned on adobe site.
    i am getting lots of error in flash builder 4.7 after overlaying.
    Can anyone please suggest me how to get it done for flex mobile project.

    You are probably missing the updated flash debug player that describes all the new methods to the application.
    There is a good walkthrough of how to upgrade flash builder to a new library version, this is described in the first video of hsharma's starling tutorials.
    Its very annoying though, i wish adobe would really build in a feature like this to update libraries.

  • How to read http cookies from adobe desktop Air app using flex/flash builder in AS 3.0 ??

    Im developing Adobe desktop air app where i need to read the session id from the cookie of a http request.
    I have found a property called URLRequest.manageCookies supported by AIR so i Hope there should be a way to read the cookies as well. Im Using Flash Builder 4.5
    Please provide any reference code or guide me for this research;
    searched a lot regarding on this web.
    Most results lead to local shared object or reading cookies fr a webpage using javascript and ExternalInterface.
    I want to read http cookies not Local shared Object and in a desktop AIR application.

  • Developing for 'Air for TV' with Flash builder 4.5?

    How can I target Adobe Air 2.5 when using Flash Builder 4.5 so I can develop for Adobe Air for TV?
    When I change the app.xml file to point to 2.5, I get the following error:
    "Namespace 2.5.0 in the application descriptor file should be equal or higher than the minimum version 2.6.0 required by Flex SDK."

    I was finally able to get my app on a Samsung TV. Here's some more info on this subject. You actually have to overlay the Air 2.6 SDK - not the 2.5 SDK.
    Also make sure when you finally package the TV app to change the application XML to point to 2.5,. During development you can leave it as 2.6.
    @see http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/airquestions/AIR+for+TV
    What tools do developers use to create AIR 2.5.1 apps for TVs?
    Developers can use the following tools:
    AIR 2.6 SDK
    Flash Professional CS5 Extension for AIR 2.5 (now an integral feature in Flash Professional CS5.5)
    Flash Builder 4.5
    Note: Developers can use the AIR 2.6 SDK for developing apps for AIR 2.5.1 for TV. In Flash Professional, set the publish settings to Adobe AIR 2.5. In Flash Builder, set the AIR namespace to 2.5 in the app descriptor file:
    <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.5">.
    If you are using Flash Builder 4.5, you must do the following:
    Download the Flex 4.1.0.16076 SDK.
    Download the AIR 2.6 SDK.
    Copy each file from the AIR 2.6 SDK into the corresponding directory within the Flex 4.1 SDK, replacing the Flex original variants.
    To use this SDK within Flash Builder, select your project in the Flash Builder package explorer.
    Choose Project > Properties to open the project's Properties dialog box.
    Select Flex Compiler in the list and then click the "Configure Flex SDKs" link to open the Preferences dialog box.
    Click the Add button, browse to the SDK, and then click OK until you get back to the project's Properties dialog box.
    Click the "Use a specific SDK" option and then pick Flex 4.1 from the drop-down menu.
    You must also replace the default WindowedApplication element with Application in your project's MXML file.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Can Flex3 generated swf load Flash Builder generated swf?

    Hi All,
    My company is corrently using Flex 3 appliaction (Host application) to host other Flex3 applications (Widgets).
    We load the host application and the host appliaction loads couple of widgets (using SWFLoader)  that were also compiled using flex bulder 3.
    My qustion is, can i load swf files that where compiled using Flash Builder my Flex3 host application swf?
    Thasnk in advance,
    Lior

    Old content cannot load content from newer versions.  You can go the other way around though, so upgrade the main app to Flex 4 and you can load Flex 3 content into it

  • Flash Builder debug swf only

    Is there a way to set up a Flash Builder Actionscript 3 project where I don't have to debug the swf's in the browser? I'd just like to debug the swf by itself, so ideally when I click debug, a swf pops up, not the browser with the swf contained inside. Thanks.

    Go to Project Properties -> ActionScript Compiler and uncheck "Generate HTML Wrapper".
    Now if you are in Flash Builder 4.5, on debug, the SWF will open up in the bundled standalone flash player (you can point to another standalone player in Preferences -> Flash Builder -> Debug).
    In Flash Builder 4, debug launch will ask the OS to open the default associated program with .SWF files. If you associate .SWF with a standalone player (do that by "Open With" on Win and "Get Info" on Mac), then you're good to go.

  • Which AIR SDK version does Flash Builder 4 come with

    I have both Flex Builder 3 and Flash Builder 4 and would like to experiment with the AIR 2 Beta SDK.
    Does Flash Builder 4 (since it's new) already come with AIR 2, or what do I do to have access to the AIR 2 SDK.
    I'm working with the Eclipse plugin edition if that makes any difference, but answers from non-eclipse users are equally appreciated.

    The SDKs you get from Adobe (unless specified) come with Air 1.5
    If you want the Air 2 beta SDK (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air2.html) You have to get the Flex SDK of choice (http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Flex+SDK) and the Air 2 SDK. You then overlay it on the Flex SDK (Using the instructions from the previous post)
    Keep in mind that we have no idea when Adobe will decide to release Air 2, so if you are developing for it, you might have to wait on your release until they are ready. On top of that, you cannot have a user auto-update from air2beta to air2release. Basically, you can only "play" with it for now

  • Debugger error in flash builder 4.5

    Hi ...
    I'm using Adobe flash builder 4.5 and i tried to debug an .mxml application
    i got the following error...
    How can i resolve this problem??

    Hello,
    I also had same issue with my Flash Player.
    Make sure u have Debug version of the flash player installed.
    If not you can download it from from following link,
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/10/flashplayer_10_ax_debug.exe  (for IE)
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/10/flashplayer_10_plugin_debug.exe   (for FIREFOX)
    Chrome has it inbuilt.
    Just make sure proper browser is selected in preferences of flash builder.

    Unrecognized Java VM option ignored: -Xdock:icon=../Resources/fb_app.icns
    Unrecognized Java VM option ignored: -XstartOnFirstThread
    I read tons of threads explaining things i didn't understand.
    And then I remembered that I changed the name of a folder containing a Flash Builder project (I just removed spaces in the name).
    So I renamed it the way it was.
    Done...
    Hope it will help!

    Hello,
    I just wanted to share my experience with Flash Builder. Funny if we can call it like that...

  • Multitouch in AIR 2.0 via Flash Builder 4: Registration point of sprites

    I watched Lee Brimelow's tut on multi touch gesture applications and tried to accomplish the same using Flash Builder.
    I did and everything works great except by one thing, the registration point of the movie clips I dynamically create and use to populate the stage is not in the center so when I either increase/decrease the size of the square as well as rotate it, it doesn't do it from the center but from one of the corners, the default registration point. If I understand correctly, it's impossible to change the registration point via AS3. How can I reproduce the example in Flash Builder then?
    I appreciate your time and help.
    Jorge

    You'll need to use Flash Professional to produce a component with a proper registration point and export that component in a SWC. You're correct that there isn't a straightforward way to do this via ActionScript that I know of that doesn't involve transform matrix.

  • 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.

  • Flash Builder 4.7 - AIR SDK 3.1: Directory does not contain a AIR SDK

    Im still having issues with using AIR 3.1 with flash builder 4.7 (see my previous posts) and would appreciate any help/ advice.
    Ive uninstalled FB 4.7, reinstalled and followed the procedure to overlay AIR 3.1. Im now getting the following error -
    AIR SDK 3.1: Directory does not contain a AIR SDK
    Reason for using AIR 3.1 is that all of my projects are built with AIR 3.1 and no longer work with FB 4.7.

    Can anyone from adobe help with this please?
