Does flash builder 4.6 have a simple method to include Native Extensions like Flash Pro cs6?

flash cs6 has this:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/using-ane-in-flash.html
flash builder 4.6 seems to only allow this through command line compilation.

I've found a work around of removing the swc then adding it back. Such a damn pain in teh ***!

Successfully using a Native Extension with Flash CS5.5 Pro, having issues

Hey all,
I'm trying to use a native extension due to an app rejection about the new storage guidelines. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to use a native extension from Flash CS5.5 and the adt command line utility (I've never used before).
Apples storage guidelines in 5.0.1 require files saved to Documents (and other places) to be marked with the icloud "do not back up" bit. I'm trying to use Adobe's IOS 5.0.1 data storage native extension to do that as I have file sharing enabled and my app downloads files I want the user to be able to copy to their desktop.
From the bits and fragments I'm reading all over, getting it to compile means using the command line adt tool (I've never used it before) because Flash Pro CS5.5 doesn't support native extensions. Also, this native extension requires a v14 SWF published (11.1) and CS5.5 only goes up to 10.2 (or higher if you install the players).
I edited the AiriPhone.xml file and pointed it to an AIR 3.1 airglobal.swc and I have AIR 3.1 overlayed in flash. I can't test AIR for iOS anymore after that change but I can get it to compile a SWF. The adt command line adt utility stopped complaining that my SWF version was 13 when it needed 14, so I assume this worked?
I am trying to compile a debug version so I can see trace statements to see if the native extension reports success on changing the bit. Here is my command line cobbled together from scraps of info on adobe.com and the -help data:
adt -package -target ipa-debug -connect 192.168.1.80 -provisioning-profile myApp.mobileprovision -storetype pkcs12 -keystore myApp.p12 myApp.ipa myApp-app.xml myApp.swf dat AppIconsForPublish Default-Landscape.png Default-LandscapeRight.png -extdir extensionDir
Before this iCloud change this app published directly from Flash Pro CS5.5 without any issues. I am only running into issues getting this app to work with this native extension and/or published correctly.
I am including the folders "dat" and "AppIconsForPublish" as well as splash screens (this app is landscape-only) as well as that extension in the folder extensionDir.
After putting in my password my app compiles into an IPA which I can drop into iTunes. It has the same general size as the IPA generated from Flash Pro. The icon is correct, etc.
When I sync this file, the progress bar goes across, I see it loading on my iPad and then once it goes to install I get a popup saying "iTunes Sync: 'myApp' failed to install."
Is there anything obvious wrong with my adt line? Has anyone else used this native extension? Ideas on what I can do to fix this?
No, unfortunately I did not build this with Flash Builder. I am an avid user of it now and this would be a moot point as it uses ANEs and changes SWF versions trivially. I have to get this to compile using Flash Pro CS5.5 though.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
edit:
Just FWIW, after I updated the .xml to use the latest AIR and such (so the version is 14) I removed the extension, exported purely from Flash Pro CS5.5 and the app works fine. As soon as I enable the <extension> in the XML I can no longer install the app. This just appears to be a noob adt publish issue.

My app downloads PDFs, movies and other information-esque files and saves them to the apps Documents folder so they can be retrieved via file sharing. These files not being in something purgable like /Library/Caches and not having the "do not back up" bit is why I was rejected.
update: It's definitely my command line building.. I took out the native extension completely and published from flash to an IPA and it works. I then run adt on the same SWF that just worked and it fails to install. So the install failing is my command line. I see this article and my command line is very similar. I'm really uncertain why it's failing.

Library Projects compiled using Flash Builder and ANT have different outputs

Hi Guys.,
I am really having hard time to get something work right with RSL projects in Flex 3.2 SDK. Here is my weird problem.
I have a library projects which has the following settings in Flash Builder
Link Type : External
airglobal.swc
framework.swc
datavisualization.swc
rpc.swc
utilites.swc
applicationupdater.swc
applicationupdater_ui.swc
Link Type: Merged into code
airframework.swc
servicemonitor.swc

When I compile my library projects I get a MyLibraryproject.swc. The SWC has the following files in it
mx/controls/HTML.png
mx/core/Windows.png
library.swf
Note: airframework.swc and servicemonitor.swc has a many png files and properties files in it. But these properties and png files are not included when compiled in Flash builder.
But when the same project is compiled using ANT compc task, i get all the png and properties files from airframework.swc and servicemonitor.swc files into my library project SWC file.
Here is the ANT version which is used to compile the library project

#1, If it compiles then you have no issue. There's no reason at this point not to use 4.6. You should bundle a captive runtime to assure the users computer won't need to have AIR installed at all.
#2, Papervision is old. Use the Stage3D and/or a wrapper framework. As far as the generic "If I download lots of data will it take the user more time to load it", well, of course. Just don't make the loading experience painful. Entertain them while they way or find ways of displaying data sooner than later. If it's desirable on the web has more to do with the context of the app and the device displaying it. In other words, a phone user would find it easy but obviously not a desktop user.
#3, Definitely referring you to Google on that one.
#4, Size always matters, it's common sense. The more you process the harder it is. While I haven't done AR I've used the Microsoft Kinect SDK and ANE and tracking was extremely fast but limited. From what I've seen and your basic built in location and direction hardware on any mobile device you shouldn't have much trouble. Depends on what you're doing.
#5, This discussion would be way too large for a forum. You'd need to consult a firm experienced in AR development.
#6, "Applications using the commercial license do not have to provide source code, but must pay a licensing fee. Contact ARToolworks at [email protected] for more information." They will base your price on your product, there is no single price.
#7, The models could be huge and elaborate or tiny and simple which changes the answer. Consult the answer in #4. Ultimately most people are getting on fast networks with mobile and excessively fast on desktop/wifi. Size matters a lot less than 3 years ago.
#8, Depends on what you're doing. You have to explain it.

How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was broken. I bought a new one but now it won't charge. I have a BATTERY bar in the middle of the screen that is flashing RED and I have a symbol on the bottom that looks like a charger.

How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was damaged so I bought a new one but it won't charge. On my Ipad, I have a BATTERY bar in the middle that is flashing RED and an icon on the bottom that looks like the end of a charger. I have tried to force into reset mode, by holding the sleep key and home button SEVERAL times but it does NOT work. I have plugged my Ipad into my desktop computer, but I do not have a screen on my desktop that is coming up. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AFTER I DID AN UPDATE AND WAS LOCKED OUT AND I USED EITHER ICLOUD OR ITUNES TO RESTORE, NOT SURE WHICH AND I FORGOT HOW.

Hi MrsMoosie,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If your iPad isn't responding or doesn't appear to be charging, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, in particular the following portion:
If you don't see the charging screen within an hour, or you see the connect to power screen, check your connector, USB cable, and power adapter. Make sure that everything is plugged in firmly, free of debris, and not damaged. You might want to try a different USB cable or power adapter.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

How to use single ant build script to package the application with and without native extensions

Hi,
I am using iOS native extensions for Adobe air. For this I am listing the extensions in the application descriptor file. Since the package with native extensions are meant to run only on device, I want my build script to work without native extensions too to be able to run on simulator. Is this manadatory that I need two separate application descriptors/basically two build scripts to compile and package them? Please suggest and let me know if more explanation is needed.
Thanks,
Swathi.

Hi
This is a known issue addressed by CR205204
As you said, IBM actually does not have rt.jar in its JDK - they have moved contents of rt.jar into various jars.
IBM is not using org/apache/crimson/tree/ in their JDK at all.So the error shows up in the end of build even if it succeeds
You may need to add crimson.jar to wlwBuild classpath, since it is not part of IBMs JDK.
Note: the build will work even w/o crimson.jar giving a non build related IDE exception in the very end.
Thanks

Utilizing AIR Native Extensions in Flash Pro CS5.5

I'm trying to integrate Adobe's "Gyroscope" example of ANE to work from Flash Professional CS 5.5.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air/extensions/g yroscope.html
Apparently, one has to use the somewhat crude "ADT" command-line tool to build an app that uses Native Extensions.
Unfortunately, I cannot get past the numerous errors ADT is throwing at me. The latest is:
unexpected failure: inputs not set
java.lang.IllegalStateException: inputs not set
          at com.adobe.air.ApplicationPackager.createPackage(ApplicationPackager.j ava:62)
          at com.adobe.air.ADT.parseArgsAndGo(ADT.java:556)
          at com.adobe.air.ADT.run(ADT.java:413)
          at com.adobe.air.ADT.main(ADT.java:463)
Unfortunately, I'm not an advanced developer, so I really don't know what any of that means. (But I'm sure if I can just get this one example to compile and run, I'll be better able to perform the necessary tasks in the future.)
Can someone PLEASE help me?
Thanks.

Testing Unsupported Native Extensions in Flash CS6

I'm currently working on an iOS application using Flash CS6 Pro targeting the AIR 3.3.0.3560 SDK. In order to compile using the iOS 5.1 SDK (to support retina displays) from Flash CS6 it's necessary to add in a native extension in order to specify the iOS SDK location.
I've add the 'Vibration' native extension (com.adobe.extensions.Vibration.ane) library to my project, and of course supplied the full path to the iOS SDK. Publishing to the device works just fine, but an issue has crept into my everyday workflow as I can no longer test using ADL as I always get the following error via the output window:
"Test Movie terminated.
The content cannot be loaded because there was a problem loading an extension: Error: Requested extension com.adobe.Vibration is not supported for MacOS-x86."
Any ideas how to go about testing apps/movies that use Native Extensions locally using ADL?
Is it a matter of having to create another target for 'MacOS-x86' (or Windows) which is simply used for local testing purposes?
BTW - ideally it would be possible to compile from Flash CS6 using the iOS SDK without having to specify a native extension (if one isn't required), but in the meantime this appears to be a necessary evil.

Hi,
Its probably because the number of warnings in your application is very high and its a known issue that packaging fails in Flash Pro/Flash Builder, if the number of warnings is high.
You may want to suppress the warnings using -w in the platform.xml file and repackage your ANE using the -platformoptions switch. Then, you will be able to package your app in Flash Pro.
If that’s not possible, you may just package your application on command line.
Hope that solves your problem.

Publishing air apps with native extension with Flash CS6 on Windows

Hi all,
is there any trick to publish air apps with Flash CS6 on Windows?
I tried all native extensions from devnet, but nothing work to me.
I read on Mac is possibility to specify the iOS SDK folder in publish
settings, but on Windows it´s missing.
Is there anybody who has some experiences with publishing apps
with native extensions for iOS and Android with windows Flash CS6?
Thanks for all advices.

I sympathize. I recently found a native alert for iOS and Android that's working with Flash CS6 on Windows with AIR 3.2.0.2070 but not AIR 3.2.0.2060. You can get the ANE here:
http://www.jampot.ie/ane/
Haven't tried the other ones. Let us know if you decide to try them.
The sample code they have on the page doesn't work with the native alert. Here's the code I created - it's a document class for a .fla that has one dynamic TextField and one Button component on the stage :

I have exported a one-hour choral concert edited in Premiere Pro CS6 to Encore, but Encore crashes?

I have completed editing a multicam shoot of a one-hour choral concert. I have exported it to Encore, but Encore keeps crashing. How to solve problem?

Bob,
I recently responded to a similar question with the following answer, which applies to the specific question the OP asked, but you will understand the issues:
Imagine a very popular nightclub, that opens at 10 PM and long rows of people are waiting to come in.
If that nightclub only has a single door that can be used by single person only at one time, used for both entry and exit, you can imagine the waiting for people outside can be long or people inside waiting to exit. The first thing to do is make another door, one for entry only and one for exit only. That reduces the queues. The next thing to do is create multiple doors, let's say two on the North side, one for entry and one for exit, plus two doors on the South side, again one for entry and one for exit.
I imagine you get the drift. Well, each door is like a physical SATA connection, traffic can only go in one direction at a time and the people or data on either side of the door or SATA connection have to wait. That is a simple reason why more disks are better for the multitude of tasks that need to be performed during editing. The more doors or SATA connections, the less waiting there is and the more enjoyable it is.
The C: drive for OS & programs and pagefile is mostly used for reading and housekeeping, the staff only entrance.
Other drive(s) or doors are used for projects, media, media cache, previews and exports. The slower the drive, the narrower the door, the faster the disk, the wider the door. How to organize access to the drives depends on your editing style and material, just like the number of doors in the nightclub depend on the number of visitors and their visiting patterns.
If you do smallish projects with rather easy codecs and limited or no multicam editing, the system requirements are not very hard, but if you do large and complex projects with difficult codecs and lots of multicam editing, you need a much sturdier system. A small nightclub out in the country requires less doors than a huge nightclub in a big city that caters to movie stars, celebrities and other VIP's, especially if they use the latest and greatest in presentation technology (of course with corresponding prices).
I keep coming back to this nightclub, because I think the analogy works quite well to explain that there is not one answer that suites all needs. Basically it boils down to available budget and the circumstances you are in. Now, with a 500 GB disk available, I assume your system is not the latest. I would keep it simple, forget a SSD for the moment as a boot disk, it may be overkill in your current system, and get as many 1+ TB Seagate 7200.14 or WD Caviar Blacks as your budget allows (up to 5). When you buy a new system in the future, you can take these disks along to the new system.

Simple Flip Book in Flash Builder

I built this simple Flip Book in Flash Builder starting with Flash Catalyst...I guess the big issue is that when I make these components...they work well at z=0, but when I change z things don't work...why? Definitely needs a fix...everything is below (source, demo, book blog, video):

Hi,
After thinking about your solution and doing some testing I have two comments...
(1) I'm concerned that your change may not be congruent with Flash Catalyst and its logical flow, and
(2) The solution did not solve the problem. I fear I have not explained myself well. So here is a video on the problem...

Thanks so much I really appreciate the comment...I'm digesting and testing it!!!
From a PV3D and Away3D perspective...one of the difficulties I've run into is that in Flash Builder there are three ways to do 3D...MXML (from Flash Catalyst), Matrix Manipulation using update display, and dot syntax methods (hey which one do I use?). It's really difficult to get the same visual effects in Flash Builder that you get in PV3D and Away3D, but in doing so you don't have to run your processor so hard and can do more. And you can't beat how easy it is to work with Flash Catalyst...you can develop 3D 10 times faster...
That means I'm taking my lumps while things are being repaired and developed. But that's the business...thanks again for your comments.
Just one more comment...I've built the data-driven case of the book for 3 pages using FB data wizard:

Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Nyeg4_zuXo
Part 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG_uUIHSyqU
...in the multi-page case I will actually turn the pages into a particle system and treat the 3D a little differently...I'll take a real good look at your suggestions below then.

Subject: Simple Flip Book in Flash Builder
Mike,
Steven Shongrunden played around with your original FlipBook example and noticed that it doesn't work the same in the current builds as it did in Beta2. The problem is that we changed the behavior of the 3D effects recently, to fix this bug:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/sdk-24993
Basically, 3D effects used to side-effect the 3D properties of objects and persist their changes on the objects after transitions were over. This is different from the way that the rest of the effects work, where we install the proper end-state values in the objects when transitions end.
This means that if you do a Rotate3D with angleYTo="180", that we'll do that rotation during the effect ... and then wipe out that change when the transition ends.
There are two workarounds for this situation. The first, which is the way to go in general and definitely for Catalyst users, is to have 2-sided objects. So instead of simply seeing the back of the front cover, the user would see the front of a completely different object (the inside cover page, if you like). Then the transition should rotate both objects (the cover to 180 and the inside object to 0), then make the old object disappear and the new object appear at the right times (like at 90 degrees). So when the values are restored to the front cover upon transition end they will not be visible because the object is not visible.
The workaround for coders is to actually tell the states the values that the object should have. So if you actually want to rotate the object around y, then set that information in the states so that we won't blow it away when the transition ends. In fact, you could even set it in the states and not in the effect and we'll run the transition automatically. This is really the best approach for state transitions in general: tell the states what values the objects should have, and tell the transitions what effects to run, then the effects will automatically figure out the values to animate from/to.
The trick with this workaround is that the 3D effects affect the post-layout properties by default, and setting those values is not as obvious as setting pre-layout properties on the object.
Here's an example of how to do this for the cover component:
     <components:frontCoverCustomComponent x="0" y="0" id="frontcovercustomcomponent1"   click="frontCoverCustomComponent_clickHandler()">
        <components:postLayoutTransformOffsets.State2>
            <s:TransformOffsets rotationY="180"/>
        </components:postLayoutTransformOffsets.State2>
    </components:frontCoverCustomComponent>
I added this code to your custom component (and left the transition code as-is) and it now works as expect. It's still a bit weird to see the back of a two-dimensional object, so using two objects for anything that you'll see flipped is still a good thing to do in any case (as someone else suggested on this thread).

Flash Builder: Can't export apps to Android 4.3 device

Flash Builder Problem: Can't export apps to my Android device now that it was upgrade to Android 4.3
I just installed Android 4.3 and all the problems started. Everything was working great with 4.2.2.
Is this a know issue? I can't even build a simple Hello World mobile app.
Also some of my previously installed Flex apps will not run on my 4.3 device. Some old apps do
run and this is very confusing as all where created with Flash Builder 4.7 and Air 3.7.
Does Air 3.8 resolve this issue?
My system:
Mac Flash Builder 4.7 with Air 3.7

My Nexus 7 Android 4.3 developer options setting:
1- USB debugging (checked ON)
2- Verify apps over USB (checked ON)
My steps:
1- built a very basic Hello World mobile app in Flash Builder 4.7 with Air 3.7
2- Select Debug As…
3- Flash Builder starts as normal
4- I normally see (in the bottom right hand ) Launching 6% - 57%, then it launches the app on the device.
5- With 4.3 I see the following Launching 6% - 57% - 58% …. 100%
6- Now I get a dialog box that says "The Flash Builder debugger failed to connect …."
I have a Nexus Galaxy phone running 4.2.2, and this same Hello World works perfectly.

I need help migrating an existing project from Flash Professional CS6 to Flash Builder 4.6.

I have followed tutorials...instructions on the web...all I get are unsolvable errors.
I have a large Air application that compiles fine and works in Flash. However I would like to take advantage of the as3xls api which does not work in Flash Professional (for no reason in particular the internet just tells me it won't work because Flash Professional cannot access some part of the Flex framework).
So I want to make my project work in Flash Builder. However, when I attempt to reference my document class, flash builder gives me an error telling me the package path com.andrewbefus.ModelMapper no longer works. It does this no matter how I select the folder to reference my document class. If I change the path to nothing...Flash Builder is happy with my document class and unhappy with every other class I have made.
Then I decided to make a new Flash Builder ActionScript file and simply replace the ModelMapper.as document class that Flash Builder created with my completed ModelMapper.as. After some messing around with paths and directories, I got Flash Builder to be happy with my program structure but then all hell broke loose on almost every single Class outside the Flash Builder framework. One by one I attempted to tell Flash Builder where to go to get my components, fl.motion classes, and my custom classes but Flash Builder refused to recognise them unless I reference the folder containing the files, and then proceeded to tell me that the project path of every single class needed to be changed. I imagine if I spend the rest of my day mucking around with this something else will come up.
I went looking for a tutorial explaining how to migrate a Flash Professional project over to Flash Builder. The closest thing I could come up with told me to just select my fla. file by going Project<Flash Professional<Create project using Fla file... which worked great except refused to compile my project as a desktop application for no sane reason - giving no option to select my project when I attempted to create a new Run Configuration.
One frustration after another....

I've also followed all the instructions here:

Still no luck...

Installing Flex SDK into Flash Builder 4.7 problems

Hi,
Im completely new to Flash Builder, today I have installed Flash Builder 4.7 & Flash CS6 from Creative Cloud for my son to start to learn game programming (with my help), I have used simple coding in web design however this terminology is new to me.
I bought my son the latest 'Foundation Game Design with ActionScript 3.0' book on recommendation but it was written when FB was version 4.5 so im guessing this might be the problem.
The book is very easy to follow but have hit problems at the beginning of the tutorials, the book talks about Flex SDK but it seems that FB 4.7 uses AIR SDK ?
So the first project called HelloWorld, we got up to:
Got an exclamation mark which said
'The import flash.display.Sprite is not used
locally'
Continuing with the rest of the project the exclamation mark disappeared:
However on selecting run- Debug we got a blank Flash Player window ('generate HTML wrapper file' was deselected)
So either we've done something wrong, or the book and FB version are not compatible?
Any advice would be great!
Thank you

I thought that installing Flex SDK may solve the problem but after following instructions I have the error message, see image below. Really stumped now!

Sorry, if I went a little overboard. After re-reading your post, perhaps I should back up a little.
First, there are little things that Flash Builder (FB) will complain about. Having extra import statements in your code doesn't hurt anything. If I'm trying different solutions and then commenting out the code, the import statements will hang around, FB will complain, but just ignore it. If you see a little icon on the left edge of your code editor and its a red circle with an X in it, then that is something that will have to be fixed.
When you create an app in FB or Flash you can choose to create a web app which means it will run in a browser window. The project can optionally create an HTML wrapper, or web page that will load your app. In Flash Pro you can choose File->Publish Settings and there will be a checkbox on the left to publish a HTML wrapper. In FB, you can right click your project in the Package Explorer, select Properties at the bottom, select the ActionScript Compiler, and down at the bottom there will be a checkbox to create a HTML wrapper.
If you're just learning Flash Builder, then the FlexSDK 4.6 and the AIR SDK 3.1 that comes with it should be fine. You mentioned Apache SDK and I'd recently been working with that so I ended up getting side-tracked.
Getting an AIRSDK to work with when build ActionScript projects is easy. Just go to the adobe site, type AIR SDK in the search box, and you should find a page that will let you downloaded the latest version. There's also a page to let you download the latest AIR runtime, and if you were just going to run AIR apps and not build them, then that's all you would need. As a developer you'll want to install the runtime from the downloaded .exe file. With the SDK, after downloading it, installing it is easy. Just create a new folder an unzip the SDK into it, then place it somewhere easy to find. I put all my SDK's in their own directory right off the c: drive. So I have c:\AIRSDK_3.5.0.880 and c:\AIRSDK_3.7.0.1530. I use very descriptive folder names so I always know which SDK's I have to work from.
To use the SDK in Flash Pro select Help -> Manage AIR SDK, hit the plus button and add the folder you created. Now when you've opened a Flash project, you go to File->Publish Settings and select the combo box at the top, you'll see options like 'AIR 3.7.0.1530 for Android' in the list that reflect the SDK's you've added.
Generally with FB you'll be using a FlexSDK, or perhaps a FlexSDK overlaid with a newer version of AIRSDK. Overlaid basically means you copied the contents of the AIR SDK into the Flex Folder. The article I mentioned above will give you all the details on creating those. For instance, I downloaded the Apache Flex installer, installed it, then created an empty folder called c:\ApacheFlexSDK_4.9.1, launched the Apache installer, gave it the new empty folder I'd created, selected all the download options, and let it all download. If it launches a popup box or a security warning, you can allow it, and it will continue. Once you have the SDK and you want to use it with a project in FB, just right click the project, select Properties, selected that Compiler tab again, and up in the right corner you'll see 'Manage SDK's...'. Hit that link, add your new SDK to the list and give it a descriptive name, then selected the checkbox beside it to set it up as your default. If you do this, then all your projects set to use the default will automatically switch to it and rebuild. So if you want a project to stay with a specific SDK then select that option in your Compiler tab, and then you could use the combo box to select your new added SDK.
When I started with FB I think I spent the first 2 days going round and round with project settings and options until I got them all figured out.
When I develop, I usually have my browser open and I have bookmarks and favorites to let me quickly get to all the pages I use most often. Here are a few of them:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/index.html <---- The API reference. In the packages window check out 'Top Level' at the top and Language Elements near the bottom. I think I have this page open in one or more tabs almost every day.

Ok, I think I went a little overboard again.

Does flash builder 4.6 have a simple method to include Native Extensions like Flash Pro cs6?
