CS target version with Extension Builder 2

In version 1.5 I could select both CS5 and CS5.5 as targets for my extension, now ( version 2) I can only select one version.
Does this means that by selecting CS6 I can deploy for 5, 5.5. and 6 with the same build or do I need to deploy 3 different versions of my extension ?
Trying to make sure it will be compatible with all 3, is it the best solution just to code and build for version 5 ?
Thanks and sorry for all the confussion, the update to 4.6 and extension 2 is taking a lot of time to make my previous work compatible.

Making the CSAW libs 4.5 only was a huge mistake in my book! (I can't believe I missed that in prerelease.)
That's a giant step backwards, and I'm not going to be using CS6 CSAW libs anytime in the near future. Backwards compatibility is way too important, and multiple projects is a horrible way to work...
Just another reason to stick with ExtendScript...

Porting the Flex Project with Extension Builder 2.1 to CC(2014)

Hello,
I am trying to port the Flex project developed in Flash Builder 4.6 with Extension builder 2.1, to InDesign CC (2014).
As per the SDK help it mentions I can use the same environment mentioned above to port the project. But when I try it is giving error " This extension cannot be installed, it requires InDesign version in range of inclusively between 9.0 and 9.9.
Do I need to set anything before compiling the plugin for CC(2014)? Or do I need to port in some other environment? If yes where can I get the details of other environment?
Thanks for the help in advance.
Regards
Farzana.

You want to use your flex project in a CC2014 application? If yes, you have to rewrite your complete project to a HTML5 extension as Flex support was dropped in CC2014 (and all upcoming releases).
"Flash/Flex/AIR extensions run in APE (Adobe Player for Embedded). This product is deprecated, and, as stated above, will be removed from Creative Cloud products, starting in the middle of 2014. This means that developers must migrate their extensions to HTML5 if they want to continue to support them in Creative Cloud (CC) applications. Flash-based extensions will continue to run as before in versions CS5.x and CS6 of their host applications."

InDesign Panels created with Extension Builder 3 get collapsed upon relaunch of InDesign

InDesign Panels created with Extension Builder 3 get collapsed upon relaunch of InDesign and you have to corner drag them open to see the panel. This bug is very annoying. Does anyone know a work around?

I found how to fix this.
There is a hidden XML file called manifest.xml located in you project folder here:
../.staged-extension/CSXS/manifest.xml
In that file there is a section called <Geometry>
By default there is an entry for size. You can add sections for min and max panel size values.
<MaxSize>
     <Height>enter max height size here</Height>
     <Width>enter max width size here</Width>
</MaxSize>
<MinSize>
     <Height>enter min height size here</Height>
     <Width>enter min width size here</Width>
</MinSize>

Photoshop cc 2014 with Extension Builder 3 not working properly.

I can't get even the most basic panel to work in CC 2014. I have created a Default Extension Builder project in eclipse. I then follow this instructions Adobe Extension Builder and Creative Cloud 2014, but when I try to debug it, it doesn't work. The panel shows up (with nothing in it) but says "Cannot complete command because the extension could not be loaded."
I have created an extension for CC, then changing everything according to the link above, tried to start it in CC 2014 I get the same error, even though it worked in CC.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem or what is causing it?
If not, could anyone provide me with an empty panel project made in Extension Builder that works for you, so that I can maybe figure out what the differences are.

Mattias

I think so, yo, only add the PlayerDebugMode like this right?

Flash Builder 4.7 with Extension Builder 2.1

A have license of Creative Cloud but in Flash Builder 4.7 the Extension Builder 2.1 wont work, in install say to me this "Adobe Extension Builder 2.1 includes Flash Builder 4.6", see image:
A pay for 4 Creative Cloud license and 4 Extension Builder license for my team and just anybody work...
All is using Windows 7, Creative Cloud (updated) and Extension Builder 2.1. I see Extension Builder create folder for Flash Builder 4.6 but just don't work, i search in forum and don't have solution, some guys seeing work installing 4.6, in Creative Cloud don't have Flash Builder 4.6 for download like is in Photoshop, see:
If just add this combo in Flash Builder with option of download 4.6 working for Creative Cloud fix this problem.

So, i try this and more...
1° Download my version:
2° CleanUp all registry for "Extension Builder", "ExtensionBuilder", "Extension_Builder", "Flash Builder", "FlashBuilder" and "Flash_Builder", after this, CCleaner...
3° Install, error:
4° Link file? Interesting, look in depth... Try install manually:
5° Works, now install Extension Builder 2.1 and... Error! Look the guy "link file" here, is name of a class in *.as too big, why you do this adobe! O_O
6° Ok, maybe work, because i never use this classes, so look more if i have serial number, oh! I Have serial number for my Extension Builder 2.1! @_@
7° A light at the end of the tunnel! Insert in Flash Builder and...
You just fu** kidding of me...

How do I install and build and extension with extension builder 2.1?

Honestly, I am beyond frustrated right now.
1. Extension Builder 3 - This will only install and run with Eclipse. JRE 1.7.
This only allows me to use Extendscript to write scripts with. Extendscript is so frustrating to use. It seems like there are a lot of missing properties for working with color models in illustrator. The documentation is also terrible for Extendscript. Something that seems like it would be simple to do like export an RGB JPEG is impossible to spec out in the EXPORT JPEG settings. Its also impossible to set the color space of a NEW AI document unless you use the add(); instead of addDocument(); There are conflicting incomplete properties of both methods. If you use one, one set of settings is missing if you use the other another set is missing... WHAT IS SOMEONE SUPPOSED TO DO???
2. Flash Builder 4.7 will not run Extension Builder 3.
3. I bought Extension Builder 2.1 which is supposed to install Flash Builder 4.6, but the installation keeps failing right at the end. This apparently also requires that you use JRE 1.6 which is not compatible with Mavericks.
This all seems impossible... how in the heck are people learning how to do build extensions, its a surprise that any exist at all. If they do They are likely not building them with the Adobe tools. I know enough about code to be dangerous but don't have a doctorate in troubleshooting all of these compatibility, and documentation issues.
All I want to do is write an extension, or a script that allows me to
1. copy the art from two layers.
2. color the background of the AI document to the background color of the original document
3. resize art from both layers to fit on a 216 x 216 pixel square.
4. Save the document as a: JPEG - ANTI-ALIAS SUPER SAMPLED - 150 DPI - RGB - MEDIUM QUALITY - CLIP TO ARTBOARD - WITH THE SAME NAME AS THE ORIGINAL FILE
I AM AT MY WITS END WITH THIS WHOLE PROCESS. I AM ABOUT TO GIVE UP UNLESS SOMEONE CAN HELP GIVE ME A LITTLE INSIGHT.

Hi,
First of all, remember that Extension Builder 2.1 only supports building Flash based extensions which have been phased out. If you are building extensions for Creative Cloud and beyond, you should use HTML5. See more info here: Introducing HTML5 extensions | Adobe Developer Connection
The installation is probably failing because you have some leftovers from a previous installation. The installer will detect if you have Flash Builder 4.5 or Flash Builder 4.6 installed (NOT Flash Builder 4.7). If it finds that you have Flash Builder 4.5/4.6 installed, it will attempt to install the plugin on top of it. If it does not detect Flash Builder 4.5/4.6, it will install Flash Builder 4.6 Premium.
I highly recommend you look into the new HTML5 extensibility. Here you can find tons of resources: Adobe CEP Resources by Adobe-CEP

Extension Building with multiple CS versions in mind

Good Morning.
We are currently working on several InDesign projects which must support and continue to support InDesign CS5, CS 5.5, CS6 and CC. We are currently using the Extension Builder Flex based UI's with supporting ExtendScript libraries.
We are compatible with the current versions of CC; but I wonder how long we will be so? Will we need to support 2 UI frameworks in the future or will CC continue to support the Flex based versions of Extension Builder?
Thanks,
pjb

As you might discovered already Adobe thought its the best way to piss off all existing developers and drop the support for flash based extensions as soon as possible. They say at some point mid 2014 most applications wont support extensions built with flash anymore. Photoshop will be the first one, Yehaaa!

Having a problem with Flash Builder and Extension Builder - images not apearing on Mac system

Have a panel created in Flash Builder 4.5 with Extension Builder 2.1. Everything is fine when installed on a PC but when installed on a Mac the images in the panel do not show.
Mac and PC both using Adobe Photoshop CC . Both installed from same .ZXP file using Adobe Extension Manager CC.
Any ideas?

No I used relative path - the path is images/image name
example images/cRight.png
tried downloading Extension Builder 2.1 and compiling on Mac but still have same results - images show up fine in design window , but not when running panel in Photoshop
Created a new project: testImage
added an image component to form
answered yes to add asset to project
ran project
image did not show up in Photoshop
went back to project
checked item Embed under Common image properties
ran project and image shows up
Looks like it works if I add @Embed("assets/image name") on Mac to display images
tried in my real project:
Looks like it works if I add @Embed("images/image name") on Mac to display images
When I change this on PC to @Embed("images/image name") images do not show Up
Don't know if I need to create two versions one for Mac one for PC
Don't know how this would affect product on Adobe Exchange

Is Extension Builder 2.1 using Flash compatible with Photoshop CC also in the future? (There are speculations, that it will be switched off, what will destroy my investment in that code)

I have codes a lot of stuff using Extension Builder 2.1 using Flash technology to be compatible with Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC.
There are speculations, that the support for this would be removed in Photoshop CC. This would destroy my investment in this code and my customers would not be able to use my products anymore, when they are using Photoshop CC.
Is there any workaround planed for customers using Photoshop CC to be able to run extension build with Extension Builder 2.1 and Flashbuilder 2.6 also in the future?

Can you supply a link?

Performance of dialogs built with CS Extension Builder in Windows XP

Are there any known performance issues with dialogs created with extension builder in Creative Suite applications (specifically InDesign) running on Windows XP? I created a plugin, and whenever the dialogs are loaded on a machine running Windows XP, they consistently take about 9 seconds to load. When I run on Windows 7, they load almost instantly. This happens on machines running the same hardware.

We haven't figured this one out yet, but we have determined that it only happens in InDesign Relase. In Debug, the dialogs appear immediately.

Getting Error which says" Please login with Adobe Id to use Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder"

We have tried making all the necessary changes of internet still the error persist. Please help.

Purchasing Extension Builder 2.1 After Trying the Trial Version: Must I Re-Install?

A few months ago, I installed the trial version of Extension Builder 2.1. The trial has expired.
So i went to buy a license. I got back a serial number.
I assumed that the Extension Builder would include some activiation dialog in which I would enter the serial number and continue on my merry way. Couldn't find it.
From the wording on the site, it would appear that I need to re-download and re-install Extensino Builder 2.1. That take a long time and I've esperienced probelms installing it in the past.
Is there a way to enter the serial number instead of reinstalling?
TIA,
mlavie

No. They are different builds.

Adobe Creative Suite Extension builder 2 not supported in Flash Builder 4.7 64 bit

Couldn't find anywhere to submit a bug report so hopefully this is a good place.
I was able to succesfully download and install the Adobe Creative Suite Extension builder 2 into Flash Builder 4.7 with not problems.
When I click File -> New -> Creative Suite Exention Project nothing happends. I recieve no error messages just the Project wizard panel that is expected to open doesn't open.
The extension works as expected when installed into the non-beta Flash Builder 4.6 32 bit verison.
I suspect there may be an incompatibility when switching to the 64 bit version of Flash Builder.

Hi everyone,
The problem is that Flash Builder 4.7 is not compatible with Extension Builder 2. Therefore we have provided Flash Builder 4.6 available for download, see links below.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you run into further problems.

Extension Builder and Photoshop CC

May I get some info about how to handle the new Photoshop CC version ?
I need to know if it is compatible with Extension Builder, and if it's possible to get a beta to test my extensions. It should be out in June and have no other info than a press release.
I believe that building extensions for a product like Photoshop is a way to enhance this application and Adobe should appreciate it, but it's very difficult for me to get the right info and tools to continue enhancing this product.
Any help will be sincerely appreciated, thanks.

You should find your test extensions in the following directory:
Mac: /Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions
Win: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CEP\extensions
