CS5 Web Premium without Flash Builder Premium?

So after spending an arm and a leg, you do not get a Flash Builder Premium with CS5 Web Premium but only Standard? This surprises me as I thought Adobe's greed is not as big as long term goals, promotion of Flash platform, being nice to users, especially as we all know Flash is a bit thin on some platforms and on the web at the moment. Obviously I was wrong and the greed surpasses all imaginable levels.
I frankly don't get the calculation where for the same price I get a State Of The Art Hardware - Mac, plus all the Apple dev tools for FREE. That's a computer, yes a laptop, the best out there, brand new, PLUS the software. On the other hand Adobe (with whose products you can't build and sell as good apps as with Apple's), is selling you Web **Premium** at a very high price, and YET you have to pay even more to actually get FB **Premium**.
Is FB considered like a useless add-on into the Web Premium bundle? Did they think, heck nobody will need it but let's give the basic version there to promote it a bit. Sort of like when you buy Windows, they give you a trial of some Antivirus software. Or is anybody thinking that FB is something I will use 80% out of Web Premium bundle? Or should it be packed with Video bundle? I really don;t get it.
So it's like this for the same money
Apple = Mac + Great Dev Tools + Tons of other apps
Adobe = CS5 Web Premium minus- FB Premium
To be fair, I did hear a rumor that if you complain to Adobe Customer Care, that they give you a license for free, which is the only fair thing. However, I'm waiting for quite some time now as my support case is on hold. What do you guys think about it and do you have any experience with it?

Gritty_d it appears that Flash Builder 4.6 is only included with Production Premium and Master Collecton CS6 - http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite.html. It is not included currently with the Creative Cloud.
Did you purchase the upgrade to Web Premium or were you given a free upgrade to Creative Suite 6?

Flash Builder Premium and Create Stuite CS5 not compatible

Hello,
After installing Create Suite CS5 Master Collection, my exisiting Flash Builder Premium becomes Flash Builder Standard. I tried to reinstall Flash Builder, but it always picks up the serial number from CS5. How to restore Flash Builder Premium? This is very frustrating.
sw

Try to close the welcome screen and then re-open it ... or try and close the welcome screen, shut down FB and then reopen it.
same thing happened to me the first couple of times I opened FB but then I resolved it this way -- I think it must be because something was cached (those screens link to a website I think??).
Also, check your features, Do you have the premium features running (like network monitor?)
Good luck!

Flash Builder Premium: ERROR: DW030

Hi,
I have a student license for one year so I should be able to use almost all adobe CC programs.
I already installed After Effects, Illustrator, Flash etc, and it all went smooth.
But then I wanted to install Flash Builder Premium for a school assignment and it just won't work.
Basically what happens is that I just start the installation via the Adobe CC Application, everything goes fine up untill 42% (probably here all the necessary files get downloaded), after extracting (at 43%) the installation gets stopped and I get an error message saying my installation failed.
This is the error log I got:
Exit Code: 6
Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: DW030 ...
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
- 0 fatal error(s), 1 error(s)
----------- Payload: Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 4.7.0.0 {EB510B48-ACF6-43A0-8214-3DA0D6D0936F} -----------
ERROR: DW030: Custom Action for payload Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 4.7.0.0 {EB510B48-ACF6-43A0-8214-3DA0D6D0936F} returned error. Failing this payload.
After seeing this I tried to fix it by getting some help from the Adobe Help Chat. This lady tried rather hard, but after all she didn't get it to work either.
I hope I'll get some nice answers, because I really need it for a school assignment and after all I paid for it!
Thanks in advance.

Unable to install Flash Builder Premium: a beta version exists on this computer

Hi,
I'm a user of Flex since version 2 and i'm still currently using it everyday. Some days ago I uninstall Flash Builder Premium 4.7 because i did a mess installing some external packages so I dedided to uninstall it and install everything from scratch.
The problem is that installing using Creating Cloud on my iMac, I always receive the same error: "a beta version exists on this computer".
I have already used the "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool" and I removed the "Adobe Flash Builder" having the same icon as the other applications installed by Creative Cloud and now I have another "Adobe Flash Builder" with a slightly different icon but I'm scared to use it because waiting to repair Flash Builder 4.7 I'm using Flash Builder 4.6 and I cannot think I cannot work because Flash Builder is not working (I use it every day !).
I removed Flash Builder 4.7 using the uninstaller, so the uninstalled didn't completed its job.
On the machine I have currently installed Flex Builder 3, Adobe Flash Builder 4.6, Adobe Gaming SDK 1.0 (no uninstaller for it !), Adobe Flash C++ Compiler (no uninstaller for it too!).
So, the question is, where I can find the log file containing the reason of the error message ? I have already checked the followimg folders:
\Library\Logs\Adobe\Installer: I cleaned the folder and the error happens before a file is created in this folder
\Users\<my account>\Library\Logs: it seems that the error isn't logged here
Please help me, I need to use Flash Builder 4.7 for a presentation I have to do next Wednsday (almost 2 years of working !!!)
Thank you
Diego Novati

Hi novatiitm,
Please search for Flash Builder in Spotlight and if find simply uninstall it or delete the folders containing the software.

Flash Builder Premium License

Hi,
I have a query over Flash Builder premium license. Consider a situation that I have flash builder premium license to build automation compatible Flex application and later I redistribute those SWF files to customers. If customer, doesn't posses the Flash builder premium license, but has license for automation tools. Is it ok, to distirbute the binaries build by someone else?

Flash Builder Premium 4.7 64 bits

Where can i find the setup of Flash Builder Premium 4.7 64 bits ?

I did a workaround by adding this compiler argument:
${flexlib}/libs/automation/automation_agent.swc
...which points to that file in Flex 4.5. I can now build the app.
Why do I need to do this now when I didn't need to do so before ?

Flash Builder Premium 4.5 Plugin Error: RequiresLicense handler

Hi,
I am using the Flash Builder Premium 4.5 Plugin (licensed copy) with SpringSource ToolSuite (STS) 2.6.1. I am getting this error that stops me building my app:
Unable to resolve a class for RequiresLicense handler: mx.automation:AutomationLicesneHandler.
...yes, the word 'license' is mis-spelled in the error message.
I've tried a fresh install of STS 2.6.1 and re-installing Flash Builder and the Plugin, to no avail.
Please help.
Thanks!

Automation stops at 30 despite using Flash Builder Premium 4.0

I'm a developer trying to release a build to QA. QA is telling me their build is stopping their test cases after 30. This shouldn't be the case.
I'm running Flash Builder Premium 4.0.1.
I've included this line on my additional compiler arguments:
-include-libraries+="${flexlib}/libs/automation/automation.swc","${flexlib}/libs/automatio n/automation_agent.swc","${flexlib}/libs/automation/automation_dmv.swc","${flexlib}/libs/a utomation/automation_spark.swc","${flexlib}/libs/automation/automation_flashflexkit.swc"," ${flexlib}/libs/automation/qtp.swc"
After initial attempts failed I tried fixing it by following the instructions on this link: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/flex-automation-issues-flash-builder.html
However the same issue exists where QA can only run 30 test cases.
Any idea what else I can do other than trying to upgrade to Flash Builder 4.7?

Integrating Licensing without Flash Builder

Hi,
I posted a question about InMarket SDK for JavaScript developers before:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/742240?tstart=0
So I checked the answered documentation and tried to integrate licensing into my AIR application I made with only JavaScript.
BUT, according to the document, it seems that Flash Builder is required for the licensing integration.
Do I have to buy Flash Builder just for the licensing? It's very expensive for me. Is there any way to integrate without Flash Builder?
Thanks.

You don't have to buy Flash Builder. You can user Flex and AIR SDK that is available for free. If you use Flash Builder the process is simpler, but its possible for you to use the free tools and achieve the same results.
Here are the steps you can follow:
1) Install the AIR SDK – See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS2d8d13466044a73328ed2239124110d12b3-8000.html
2) Install the Flex SDK - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS2d8d13466044a733190f0432124114d9a19-8000.html
3) Follow this tutorial to learn how to compile and package Flex application - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS144092a96ffef7cc4c0afd1212601c9a36f-8000.html
4) Follow out tutorial on building AJAX apps for InMarket, but use the AIR command line compiler and packager tools as opposed to using Flash Builder.

For example can someone tell me the code to display a label , a button or how to change the state or view when that button is clicked . I am developing a desktop application . Can someone please help me to change the default background color or even insert my own background image. I have reache it till here. please Help me to develop the reqquired application . I know that these are the very basics so i cant develop further without it. I have currently reached till here and have completely understood the matter till here . please dont be evil and copy the code for your own project.
My current progress:-

    <s:Label x="416" y="322" color="#FF0030" fontSize="36" text="Manager" includeIn="splash"/>
</s:WindowedApplication>

So you're completely new but you're worried someone
will use your code??
I'll try to answer the immediate questions but you really should sit through some tutorials as suggested.
   Displaying a label:   you can just add this in MXML and set the visibility=false, and on need address the id of the label to set the visibility to true.
   (eg) <mx:Label id="lbl1" x="179" y="113" text="Label" visible="false"/>   then when you need to show it in AS you can use: lbl1.visible=true; and it will display where you have it. You can also create the label on the fly in AS and position it.
"Can someone please help me to change the default background color or even insert my own background image."
Not sure where you are trying to set this but the easiest way is to use the Design View tab, select the component and then go down the list on Flex properties on the right in Flec Development Perspective.
or you can manually find your component and add backgroundColor="theColorYouWant
" in the list of attributes
background image:
Just put this under the <mx:Application     > tag
<mx:backgroundImage>@Embed(source='//relative path to image in your project')</mx:backgroundImage>
"a button or how to change the state or view when that button is clicked"
click="{currentState='options'} add something this to the attributes of the MXML button component. 'options' being the name of the state you want to switch to. If your base state is not named use currentState=' ' to switch to it.
Once you've sat through the tutorials.
Do a google search for flexblogs and there are some good ones that show examples on how to do some basic to advanced things, it is very useful for the resourceful newcomer to flex.
Good luck with your project.

Converting Air Project to Web Project in Flash Builder 4

I have an Air project that I need to convert to a web project to post online. I've looked online with no luck so far, but perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.
The closest thing I see to being what I want is if I go to Properties > Run/Debug Settings. In there I tried going to New > Web Application but when I browse for Project it comes up empty, and so is the "Application file" dropdown. I tried screwing around int he Source tab in the same window but it doesn't seem to help much.
Other things that look close to what I want but don't work are when I right click my project, there's a "Add/Change project type" but all options are greyed out and I don't see anything web related in the options anyway.
Also there's Properties > Targeted Runtimes, but there's nothing there I can do.
Then in Properties > Flex Compiler I have "Generate accessible SWF file" checked. But when I try to use that file it won't work in the browser flash player.
So... is there an easy way to convert an Air project to a Web project?
Thanks!

I'm glad (but at the same time sad) someone has had the exact same problem I had.
I've tried a few things (though none successful).
- creating a flash pro project from the fb project
- creating an AS3 project from the as3 mobile project (which runs on air). now this one I thought would work, and it does in Flash Player, however, when I try to run it with the generated html file, all I get is a string of errors.
Here is something that does work.
If you create an AIR project in Flash Pro (I've only tried this in CS5.5), when you publish the project, it will generate the swf and html files and the html file works and the swf runs great. Unfortunately you have to start that way (which sucks for programmers that want the benefits of Flash Builder). I haven't found anything to properly convert it yet.
I hope this is some insight, even a year later.

Panels without Flash Builder?

I've decided to write a Color Picker extension for Photoshop and I've no experience with Photoshop scripting / a little with Flash.
But the Photoshop interaction part is going to be really simple, and i'll figure it out somehow with flash.
The problem is that the only tutorial about panels development i found, Photoshop Panel Developer's Guide, is implying Flash Builder usage and mxml. I don't really want to get into flash builder to boot. Besides i can't imagine how i can make Colorwheel and stuff in builder, probably that involves Flash Pro again
Is it even possible without FBuilder?
Could you point me to some guides about that?
Any other advice?

I was lost here as well, I am using FlashDevelop and the free FlexSDK, but it comes down to the same which is: Using just pure AS3 and no Flex. It only works with CS4 though, CS5 just doesn't work because they changed everything (incompatible)
