Another Flash Builder 4 app launches!

The menu maker app I have been working on the past couple of weeks finally went live:
http://www.finecooking.com/create-your-own-menu/thanksgiving.aspx
Many, many thanks to all the fine people here for their help, suggestions, and general moral support. Special thanks go to Sameer Bhatt for his help with group item renderers and the like!

Here's the solution:
The problem did not exist on an installation of Flash Builder on a spare MacBookPro.
On my main computer (the one with the Flash Builder issue) I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Builder 4.5 (then updated to 4.5.1). Creating an iOS Mobile Application now creates the correct code.
I have no idea why it was creating dodgy code.
The only difference with the new Flash Builder install is that SourceMate 3.0 is not installed yet. Perhaps something had gone wrong in the Adobe Updater when going from 4.5 to 4.5.1, who know...all speculation...anyhow it works now!

Is there a limit to the amount of SWCS I can use in my Flash Builder app?

I have 3 swc folders in my flash builder project that includes about 40 swcs total. Each swc is a simple flash animation with a size of about 500 kb each. When I include and complile about 20 of them in my project, things work fine.
When I try to include all my swcs, the app compiles, but when i make changes in my code and save those changes, each time the compile becomes slower and eventually my flash builder freezes at about 52%, gives me a "java heap error" message, and then crashes. After restarting FB, when I take out most of the swcs from the build, FB acts normal again. Attached is a screen shot of my error.
Is there a limit in size or amount of swcs that I can use in my FB application?

There are no limits. But there is a known memory leak (which is being fixed for a later release).
Would it be possible to attach a sample SWC so that we can confirm whether this is a known leak or not? I'll take care of filing this in bugs.adobe.com.
Meanwhile, in your Flash Builder installation directory, you can edit FlashBuilder.ini to bump up max heap size by editing:
-Xmx512m
to
-Xmx800m

Flash builder external launching URL

Hi. Flash Builder launch configuration has the option to specify an external URL, but it hardcodes local file URIs, making launch configurations not portable across developers. This is easy to fix (please, forgive me for bending the rules of the terms of license -- it's in good faith).
1. FlexLaunchConfiguration#getCustomLaunchURL needs to be modified to make use of Eclipse's built-in substitution variables.
url = VariablesPlugin.getDefault().getStringVariableManager().performStringSubstitution(
fConfiguration.getAttribute(attributeKey, ""));
2. Add imports:
import org.eclipse.core.variables.IStringVariableManager;
import org.eclipse.core.variables.VariablesPlugin;
3. Make "Adobe Flash Builder Launching" bundle depend on org.eclipse.core.variables.
Voila. You can now have any launch URL you wish, including project-relative (but not hardcoded) resources, as in:
${resource_loc:/my-project/bin/my-resource.html}
It would be great if this could be integrated with the codebase, of course.

The delay is in launching the adobe community help (ACH) or the browser. That takes 15-20 seconds. Once the ACH or browser is launched it loads the content pretty fast. There's no network activity during the delay.
It looks like it launches the help with the following command (shown in the status bar).
command://com.adobe.flexide.communityhelp.launchHelp(productHelpConfig=Flex_4.0,pageID=mx. collections_ArrayList
It works fine on OS X, but it's super slow on XP.

Upgraded Mac OS X to 10.8.4, Flash Builder cannot launch application

I've update the JRE to Version 7, and added it to Flash Builder, but I when I run, nothing happens, when I debug, I get the following:
The Flash Builder debugger failed to connect to the running application.
Ensure that:
          1. For in-browser applications, you are running the debugger version of Flash Player.
          2. For network debugging on a mobile device, you have a reliable network connection to the device, and port 7935 is open on your machine's firewall.
              Device connection help
I am running the latest debugger, the only change that was made was upgrading to Mountain Lion from Lion.

I'm pretty sure this is down to the Java version but I could be wrong, download this version and re-launch Flash Builder, making sure that the java version your system is running 6 and not 7 after you've installed java 6.

How do I prevent Flash Builder from launching Flash CS5?

Every time I change workspaces, Flash Builder launches Flash CS5 which is very annoying. Anybody know how to turn this off?

Using [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433 Flashblock] solves that.

Hi
FB4 DCD supports extensibility through which additional server technologies could be supported. Unfortunately, we have not yet added documentation on this. If you would be interested in building ruby on rails support to FB DCD, please drop me a note at rkrishnaATadobeDOTcom.

How do I test flash builder app on ipad simulator?

Hello Everyone
I have created a mobile action script project for iOS.
How do I test it on a simulator (ipad or iphone)?
Thanks

You don't install it, it's just a compressed archive. The download may have even uncompressed it for you, which would leave you with a folder. If you want to try that out if Flash Pro CS6 you should rename the folder to be AIR3.3 and put it into the Flash Pro application folder, next to the one named AIR3.2. Then use the SDK Manager in the Help menu of Flash Pro to hook it up.
For command line work, follow that article, only navigate to where the folder is located, to get to the ADT command file.

Transition from my firefox extension to a Flash Builder desktop app

Trying to make a slow transistion from my firefox extension to a Flash Builder desktop app.
Okay i'm not familiar on how to go about this I have js code that lets my app sync it self with the lates build it looks for a new version number which is in a txt file. Inside the txt file I have 0.0.0 so evertime I change the version number to 0.0.1. The app checks for new updates and sees the txt file has a new version number and start to pull in the zip file and extrudes the zip into the directory.
I can't get my head around on how to modify this code ["@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1"].getService
to look in the root directory of my Flash Builder app.
function Xcalibur_Sync(){
    document.documentElement.getButton("accept").disabled = true;
    var Cc = Components.classes;
    var Ci = Components.interfaces;
    var url = xcaliburGetUnicharPref("extensions.xcalibur.downloadurl");
    var Step1 = document.getElementById("xcalStep1");
    var Step1done = document.getElementById("xcalStep1Done");
    var Step2 = document.getElementById("xcalStep2");
    var Step2done = document.getElementById("xcalStep2Done");
    var Step3 = document.getElementById("xcalStep3");
    var Step3done = document.getElementById("xcalStep3Done");
    var Step4 = document.getElementById("xcalStep4");
    var Step4done = document.getElementById("xcalStep4Done");
    var xcalSyncDone = document.getElementById("xcalSyncDone");
    var progressMeter = document.getElementById("xcalProgressMeter");
    var progressPct = document.getElementById("xcalProgressPct");
// Get Xcalibur version and location
    var GUID = "[email protected]"
    var gExtensionManager = Cc["@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1"].getService(Ci.nsIExtensionManager);
//var currentVersion = gExtensionManager.getItemForID(GUID).version;
    var currentVersion = xcaliburPrefs.getCharPref("extensions.xcalibur.installedversion");
    var xcaliburdir = gExtensionManager.getInstallLocation(GUID).getItemLocation(GUID);
    var file = Cc["@mozilla.org/file/local;1"].createInstance(Ci.nsILocalFile);
    file.initWithPath(xcaliburdir.path);
    //Step 1 - See if an update is available
    Step1.setAttribute("hidden", "false");
    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    req.open('GET', url+"CRV.txt", false);
    try{
        req.send(null);
    }catch(e){
        alert("Cannot get update information from "+url+"CRV.txt\n"+e.toString()+"\n\nSync aborted ...");
        window.close();
        return false;
    }//try
    if(req.status == 200){
        var CRV = req.responseText;
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Ish

Have you taken a look at the documentation on updating AIR applications?
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ff2. html
Or is it something else you wish to do? You can access the directory where your app is installed by looking at File.applicationDirectory and you can hit a URL by using URLRequest.

Flash Builder won't launch

Hi. I am trying to troubleshoot something using Flash Builder and it won't launch. I get an error message at startup that there is a log file I should look at, which, of course, I can't really interpret since I don't know too much about how FB functions. This happens in 4.0 and 4.5 as well.

Now I am getting the error code of 16 and to reinstall the product. I reinstalled FB 4.5 and it still won't launch. I do not know what to do and cannot get through to anyone in support and I'm not given the option to chat to anyone at Adobe through the support portal.
Can anyone help me so that Flash Builder will launch again?

Flash Builder 4 Beta 2 will not accept the extension serial provided

Hi!
Just received an extension serial for FB4 beta 2 via https://freeriatools.adobe.com/flashbuilder4beta/ but the serial number doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Sounds as if you've run into this known issue on Snow Leopard:
FB-22869 - Licensing error prevents Flash Builder from launching on OSX 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard).
Workaround:
After installing on 10.6.1, run the mini-installer found in your Flash Builder installation folder:
/install.support/builder-common-mul/Setup.app
Let us know whether or not that resolves the problem,

Can't Uninstall Flash Builder Beta 1

Hi,
I installed Flash Builder Beta 1 a few months ago and now I can't seem to uninstall it. Everytime I run the uninstall script, Uninstall Adobe Flash Builder Beta, it begins, prompts me for my admin password, starts loading the Flash Builder app screen, but then the uninstaller exits without removing the application. Is there some step that I'm missing or an alternative way to remove the application? The trial has expired and is pretty much useless with Beta 2 out. Any help regarding this matter would be very much appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Randy

If you are using Windows you should be able to have the option of uninstalling it from the following: Start>Control Panel>Programs and Features window, instead of the uninstall executable.

Flash Builder won't replace file in script

So I'm trying to build an application using augmented reality but I keep running in to a problem. I want to be able to swap out the marker, but when I change the file path it doesn't take effect. In other words, the original file is "pattern1.pat" and I want to exchange it with "pattern2.pat" within the line [Embed(source="pattern1.pat", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]. But when I make the change and run it, it won't change the marker, it just keeps referencing the previous file (pattern1.pat) when I test. Why!?
I am using Flash Builder 4. Could it simply be a problem with FB4? I'm tempted to revert back to CS3 and simply build my script using Flash, but I would really like to be using new software instead of old.

Now I am getting the error code of 16 and to reinstall the product. I reinstalled FB 4.5 and it still won't launch. I do not know what to do and cannot get through to anyone in support and I'm not given the option to chat to anyone at Adobe through the support portal.
Can anyone help me so that Flash Builder will launch again?

Determining exact version of Flash Builder on Mac OS X

What is the definitive means of determining the installed application version of Flash Builder on Mac OS X?
I ask this because I see a version in the application info window (Finder) that doesn't match the version displayed in the Features pane of the Flash Builder Installation Details window (in the Flash Builder app).

Hello,
Apple is blocking older versions of Flash Player. Please make sure you have the latest version installed to ensure you don't get the blocked plugin error. You can download the latest version using the offline/standalone installer at the bottom of this page, Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac.

Flash Professional as3, Flash Builder as3 or Flash Builder mxml?

So there is no doubt that Flash Builder with mxml is amazing. I Built my app in 2 months and it is amazing. The problem is that my app is way too slow and it not only freezes but freezes the whole phone and you have to take out the battery.
Now I built a test app with Flash Professional, that of course isn't yet as complicated as the Flash Builder app, which performs at the same speed as native apps. It never crashes and is just amazing.
I am wondering which direction to go. Which IDE to choose? Flash Pro or Flash Builder?
I agree Flash Builder is better in every way during the development process, but in the end... does all that matter? does it not all come down to how well the app performs for the end user?
From my website development experience I noticed that Flex websites are slow and crash web browsers. On the other hand Flash Professional apps never crash the web browser and run perfectly smooth.
I have only found two quality adobe air apps on the market and I 99% gaurantee they were both developed with Flash Professional.
Does anyone have an example of an app they know was developed with Flash Builder using mxml and which runs smooth and never crashes?

Speaking as a developer who has built and worked on a number of large-scale apps for long-term clients; you would need to shoot me and prise the Flex framework from my cold, dead hands before I would give it all up in favour of the huge limitations of a pure AS implementation.
Yes, it is possible to build bad, slow, heavy Flex AIR apps. Yes, it is possible to build faster, slicker, lighter pure AS apps.
But...
Once an app is out there, you need to maintain it.
And...
If you build the thing properly in the first place, performance will be comparable or better using the well-defined systems and frameworks of Flex / AIR.
Or rather...
There are things that it is better to build your own controls for than to use Flex's ones, but those things are so few and far between, and so obvious after just a little bit of performance testing, that it is almost always going to be preferable to build using Flex default and then to replace the problem items _and_only_ the problem items with home-cooked controls that _are_integrated_ with the existing Flex framework.
