Change which browser flex builder launches in

My default browser was Google Chrome, and I have when I hit
F11 in Flex Builder it always launches in Google Chrome, but
because of some issues in chrome it is making troubleshooting
cumbersome. So I want to launch in FireFox but I cannot figure out
how. I set FF to my default browser, restarted my compuster, and
flex still launches in google chrome. I even uninstalled google
chrome and then Flex Builder just gives me an error saying it
cannot find google chrome.
Can someone please tell me how to get it to launch in
Firefox?
Thanks!

I went to Control Panel>Add Remove Promgrams>Set
Program Access Defaults>Custom>Choose Default Web
Browser>FireFox
then restarted flex...that did it.

How to change license for Flex Builder

I installed Flex builder 3 plugin. And registered a license
file by using "Help|Manage Flex License" under Eclipse.
Now, I need to change this license and I can not find a way
to change or remove existing license.
I tried to reinstall, remove eclipse, scan windows registry,
scan my c: drive, and I can not find where Flex stored the license.
Please help.

wguan99, a simple google search turned out the answer for me:

Flash builder 4 installation somehow broke my flex builder 3 debuggin/running/profiling launch.

After installing flash builder 4 neither it nor flex builder 3 has been able to launch swf:s from flex. After hitting run or debug flex gives a prompt saying "Flash Player not Found. Flex builder cannot locate the required version of Flash Player. You might need to install Flash Player 9 or reinstall Flex Builder. Do you want to try to run your application with the current version?". The popup itself happened before installing flash builder 4. But normally I would just hit yes and it would use whatever flashplayer is default.
Now if I click yes it launches command prompt with a path to flex builder 3 installation folder. When running from flash builder 4, same happens except the path is the installation folder for flash builder 4. Flex then starts waiting for connection from debugger and after a while it prompts a timeout message. The command prompts title is ...\workspace\project\bin-debug\filename.swf.
When opening the swf files directly from windows they open fine.
I used the uninstaller software for flash player and then fetched both fp9&10 and reinstalled them. Which didn't help. When launching to browser everything works just fine, the problem occurs only when launching to standalone player. I tried to check registry settings if there would be something wrong, but all the paths for flashplayers seem to be ok.
Is there any other hope to fix this than reinstalling flex builder 3 & flash builder 4 from scratch?

You need content debugger FP installed
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html download it from there and install and you should see the problem go away
Download the Windows Flash Player 10 ActiveX control content debugger (for IE) (EXE, 2.03 MB)

Flex Builder 3: Error starting browser

Admittedly, I am running Vista which is probably the culprit
here, but I don't have a lot of options. When I click the Run,
Debug and, or Preference/Web Browser buttons I get an error dialog
box titled "Windows- No Disk" and the message says "Exception
Processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x75AD023C 0x84C3A86C
0x75AD023C 0x75AD023C". Buttons for Cancel, Try Again and Continue
all simply redisplay the error dialog box. The only option is to
end Flex 3 at that point.
I do have Flex Builder 2 loaded and I am still using it. I
can provide a HijackThis listing if requested.
Thanks

I had the same type of error under XP Pro when I click on the
hyperlink of the Flex Start Page. Have a look behind the flex
window if you don't have a modal window with information about JVM
configuration. If you have this window just close it and then
buttons of the Flex Exception window should work.
BTW I retry to reproduce the error to check this hidden
window before posting, but it is working now !!! Don't know why
!

Flex Builder 3 error: This file cannot be launched

All of a sudden when I try to run my app from within Flex
Builder 3, I get a popup that says:
This file cannot be launched. I right click on my mxml file
and the option to set it as default is greyed out.
How can I make this error go away?
Thanks

I've filed a number of bugs about a lot of things :P
Part of the problem for me is that I am using Vista x64 and
there are known issues with Eclipse 3.3 and the Logitech SetPoint
drivers on that OS. Basically, in FB3 I get corrupted Property
Dialogs and Preferences (can't change key binds, or set compiler
config, etc.). It does work in Eclipse 3.4M4 with the plugin, but
then Design Mode doesn't work properly (images and style are
wrong), and that is unsupported by Adobe. So basically I switch
back and forth between the two whenever I need to access the
dialogs lol. Given that kind of situation, it is difficult to know
what is a propblem with my specific config, and what is a bug.
Generally one of the things I see is my embedded fonts start
showing up as errors when I hit compile, then I have to do a clean
build. CSS errors/warnings show up in the main mxml file instead of
the CSS file (at the CSS file's line numbers).
I've also seen issues where modules aren't saved to the
properties files properly. Lack of conditional compilation support
(debug versus release at the bare minimum) in FB3 is annoying
(though you can do it with ANT).

Debugging with External Browser and Flex Builder

Hi
I have Flex application that requires you login first in IE
before you can have access to it (ouside the application)
I would like to debug this application but when I start the
application from Flex Builder , it is always opening new IE window
How to attach Flex builder debug session to an existing IE
session (that was authenticated already)
I tried going to Window/Preferences/Web Browser and tell it
to use 'External IE Browser' but that did not work
any help is appreciated
Thanks
Kasem

Hi Kasem,
If you go to the launch configuration dialog for your
project, you can set the launch URL to any URL you want -- you can
set it to point to your login page.
The quickest way to get to the launch config dialog is to
click the Run or Debug toolbar button, and then CONTROL-click on
the launch configuration you want to edit, But you can also get to
it from the Run menu.

Flex Builder Slow Launch

Hi,
I have run into a problem where after a while an application
takes several minutes to launch using
Flex Builder 2.0.1 for Mac.
This did happen with the Beta too.
Don't know if I can isolate the exact conditions but it is
around the same time when I was trying to make
a centered full screen application by embedding it into
another.
Anyone else run into the problem of slow launching with Flex
Builder?
Joc

I've just started using Flex Builder 2.0.1 for mac and have
found the same problem. Just to clarify, I'm talking about the time
for an mxml application to launch from within FB2, not the
launching of FB2 itself.
I've just move from windows and copied my project across from
my Windows FB2 installation which launched within a few seconds.
The same project on the mac version takes more than a minute..
Is there a mechanism to submit a formal bug report?
Thanks,
Peter

Error when launching Flex Builder 3

when the application is originally launched, but not every
time.

Background color change on Flex builder editor

I have been searching around to see if there is a way to
change the editor's backgorund. After long hours of coding, the
white background hurt my eyes.
I know wehre ti change the text color, and the background
color of the console, but not the editor (source). Any idea?

hi
if you are using flex builder 3 you go to to:
window->preferences
then select General and inside it select Editors
Inside editors you have Text Editors, select that and you
will see what you want.

AIR apps won't launch from flex builder

Hi,
I am currently working on my first AIR app inside of Flex
Builder 3. For some reason, when I try to launch, profile, or debug
the app, it does it's normal "Loading.." message in the
bottom-right corner, but will never launch. The loading message
just disappears and the app never shows up. I do have the AIR
runtime installed. I receive this message when trying to profile
the application:
Process terminated without establishing connection to
debugger.
Command:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder
3\sdks\3.0.0\bin\adl.exe" "C:\Personal\Freelance
Projects\MyBoatData_Prototype\bin-debug\MyBoatData-app.xml"
"C:\Personal\Freelance Projects\MyBoatData_Prototype\bin-debug"
Output from command:
invocation forwarded to primary instance
Can anyone help?

If you are using mx:Application, you need to set visible as
true in the app.xml file.
Also make sure that no instance of adl is already running. If
so kill that instance via task manager.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Flex Builder 3 Flash package changed / incomplete?

Hi,
I have installed
Flexbuilder3_b2,
flex3sdk_b3 &
air_b3_win_sdk. I am having problems with the
flash.desktop package in Flex builder 3.
When I use the Help I can see that in Flex 3 flash.desktop
are package components flash.desktop.NativeDrag* but when I try to
use them in code it appears they are not in my flash.desktop
package. Have flash.desktop.NativeDrag* been replaced by
flash.desktop.Drag*? I refer specifically to
NativeDragManager, NativeDragActions, NativeDragOptions.
Also, I am trying to run an example project which also refers
to flash.desktop.NativeApplication thus:
import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.NETWORK_CHANGE,
checkNetworkConnection);
- but NativeApplication is not referred to in the Help as
part of flash.desktop & not available in the list of
components. Can anyone tell me what this has been replaced with?
Thanks in advance,
Ob

Hi, your Flex Builder beta 2 is out of sync with your SDKs.
You should upgrade to FB beta 3.
NativeApplication is now WindowedApplication, and NativeDrag*
is the current naming for those classes. Perhaps you are looking at
the beta 3 AIR help while compiling with the beta 2 SDK paired with
FB beta 2. Try bringing FB up to date.

Flex Builder 3....Not launching?

Whenever I press F11 to launch my flex/air project it does not launch. The red square shows up in flex builder and flex builder seems to think it is open but there is nothing there. Also if I check my system processes, it says that adl is running, and it also says that javaw.exe is running at 50%. (I believe javaw.exe is flex builder as flex builder closes if I end that process.)
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi Michael,
Thanks so much for all your help!
I just installed FB 3 again, but still no love, yikes! I
don't get it FB 2 was painless,...
I have the same issues, and safari does not handle any flex
apps, just a blank(grey page). Can I ask a favor? Can you check
this link, a flex charting app. It can view it perfectly in Camino,
but just a blank page in safari. Could you check this link in
safari?
http://cfhawaii.com/Charts/DrillDownWithEffects.html
I also still get the can't find the debugger player.
Maybe I need to take a on-line course(bring that I am in
hawaii) to learn how to get everything set up.
I send a bug report to adobe, and I am hoping that somebody
gets back to me, and can help me fix the problems, as I couldn't
even registrar FB3, I want to start learning flex, not dealing with
this.
Thanks so much for all your help`-`

Flex Builder not compiling changes

HELP!
I have a flex project that will build and run OK. If I make
changes to the a file in the project (an actionscript file to be
exact) the changes do not seem to compile. AN example is I take out
huge sections of the code and the project still will build and run.
I can also put in alert.show in the code and the code does not
execute.
This project is imported and originally comes out of SVN.
I have tried the clean build.
I can create my own project and make changes. Everything
works, but when I use the project created by someone else loaded
into SVN I cannot make any changes to the project. It is like Flex
Builder is compiling files from another location.
Please help. I am out of ideas.

- If there are any errors in the errors/console panel, a new
swf won't be created
- Make sure the target SWF file isn't set to Read-Only. It'll
prevent Flex Builder from updating the file.
- Check your build settings to make sure where FB is creating
the file is the same location you expect it to be
