Extension Builder 3 and AS3/Flex

Just a short question, to be sure:
Extension Builder 3 will NOT support AS3/Flex but only "HTML5 Techniques"? In other words: Everything we/paid subcontractors have build can be thrown in to the trash an be build again to work with Creative Suite CC?

Bingo! :-) Adobe knows how to piss of 3rd party developers.
But it's actually not that simple. You can't just convert everything to HTML 5 and be "happy". If you want to support older creative suite versions (CS6 / CS5) you additionally have to build it in AS3 / FLEX since they don't support the new HTML 5 technology.
Double strike, pain in the *** for all of us, at least for the next 2 years until everybody converted to the new CC philosophy.

Regarding building (ant) and debugging Flex components (Flex Builder)

I am fairly new to graniteds + flex. The example articles on graniteds and blazeds use two separate applications i.e., using mxml components and actionscripts in another project. Why is this done so?
It was hard to build the swf files in a separate project as the antscript needed something more.
<mxmlc....>
<source-path path-element="${basedir}/src"/>
</mxmlc ..>
The source here is the actual java source code. Unless I had the two projects together, I could not build the swf files. However, once I convert this one application to a java project, as flex project does not recognize java source code, I can no longer debug my flex screens. Am I missing something here?

No suggestions yet?
Could someone tell me if I could integrate these in one place atleast, if so how do we configure the application to be able to debug Flex applications?
Thanks

What is the replacement for design view in in flex builder 4.7 for cs extension builder?

Because design view is not available in flash builder than what is the use of extension builder in UI designing now we have to do design UI with xml which is very time consuming and boring if there is any replacemnt for it than please help me .1 more thing i want to know is that when i make new default project in extension builder(flash builder 4.6) than it also not able to load design mode errror is
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.cside.libsinstaller_2.0.0.4-33034\archive\cslibs\2.0\4.5\re lease\apedelta.swc- not respondingSWC file failed to load. Any component dependent on this SWC file will not be displayed in the Design Mode.The SWC may have failed to load because of:
* Incompatible definitions caused by usage of a different SDK version
* Missing referred class definitions

I have researched this quite considerably and my understanding is that Adobe have no intention of supporting Design View any more for Extension Builder. In my opinion a very disappointing decision and one that is hard to comprehend.
The best workaround I can find is to create the majority of your design in a parallel, non Extension Builder, project and then convert/import your design into your Extension. This is by no means as satisfactory as having Design View for the Extension you are writing but it is better than simply creating your layout by guess work/trial and error.
Although this has not been announced by Adobe, I have a suspicion that the reason they have decided not to put any further resources into fixing Design View is that Extension Builder as we know it is going to be abandoned soon, probably replaced with an HTML5/JavaScript method of building extensions. My concern with this is that, other than wanting reassurances that there will be backward compatibility support for old extensions, There will not be a way of compiling an extension in a way that prevents people from seeing your code.
This is all speculation and I guess we will have to wait and see what happens. Hope this has helped.

Help please: Can't export Extension Builder 3 extension to ZXP package

The directions for exporting an extension from Extension Builder 3 to a ZXP package state:
Export your extension
To distribute your extension, you need to export it as a ZXP package that can be loaded and managed by the Adobe Extension Manager.
1. In the Eclipse Script Explorer view, right-click your project and choose Export > Adobe Extension Builder 3 > Application Extension. This displays the Export Wizard.
When I do step one, this is what I see. There is no Export>Adobe Extension Builder 3 option.
When I click "Export..." this is what I get. And this is not the correct Export Wizard according to the "Create Your Own HTML5 Extension In 5 Minutes" tutorial.
I can't figure out how to export an extension created in Extension Builder 3 to a ZXP package. Can anyone provide advice? Thanks.

The instructions aren't entirely clear if you haven't used Eclipse or Flash Builder before.
Go to File> Export...
and in that list you see in your second snapshot, expand folder "Adobe Extension Builder 3"
and inside there you will see the "Application Extension" option.
select it there.
good luck.

Flash Builder 4.6 and CS Extension Builder 1.5

I have downloaded Flash Builder 4.6 and CS Extension Builder 1.5 and we have one big problem related to design mode.
Actually when we switch to design the visual editor is completely black!
Thanks.
Diego

It's not going to be fixed.
The only version of FB where design mode really works is 4.0. Even in 4.5, it's very fragile for Flex 3. (Flex 4 should work fine.)
Yes. I use EB 1.5 all the time. The lack of a working Design Mode is annoying and makes devlopment somewhat less efficient, but it's not a show-stopper...

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."

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

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

Performance building Tile Flex 3 and List Flex 4

Hi,
I'm writing aplication in FlashBuilder, I see that building Tile with repeaters(Flex 3) is 3-4 time faster that FB
and I don't know what I do wrong,
it is My Code in Flex 3
<mx:Tile>
                <mx:Repeater id="dayRepeater" dataProvider="{ arr }" >
                    <mx:Canvas width="78" height="38" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" >
                          <calendar:CalRenderer dataProvider = "{ dayRepeater.currentItem as DataVO }"/>
                    </mx:Canvas>
                </mx:Repeater>
            </mx:Tile>
and inside repeater is following code
<mx:Canvas>
        <mx:Image x="0" y="0" width="78" height="38" source="{ dataProvider.renBackUrl}" scaleContent="true" maintainAspectRatio="false" verticalAlign="middle" horizontalAlign="center"/>
    </mx:Canvas>
    <mx:Canvas x="{dataProvider.imgIcoX}" y="{dataProvider.imgIcoY}" width="24" height="26">
        <mx:Image width="20" height="20" source="{ dataProvider.holyico}" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0" verticalAlign="middle" horizontalAlign="center"/>
    </mx:Canvas>
    <mx:Text id="renTxt" styleName="{dataProvider.txtIdFont}" x="{dataProvider.txtIdX}" y="{dataProvider.txtIdY}" text="{dataProvider.id}" width="51.5" height="34.149994" fontSize="22" textAlign="right" fontWeight="normal" color="{dataProvider.renMainTxtColor}" selectable="false"/>
    <mx:Text styleName="{dataProvider.txtNameFont}" x="{dataProvider.txtNameX}" y="{dataProvider.txtNameY}" text="{dataProvider.names}" width="100%" height="10.799999" fontSize="6" textAlign="right" color="{dataProvider.renMainTxtColor}" selectable="false"/>
    <mx:TextArea styleName="{dataProvider.txtHolyFont}" x="{dataProvider.txtHolyX}" y="{dataProvider.txtHolyY}" width="80" height="13.099998" text="{dataProvider.holy}" fontSize="7" borderStyle="none" backgroundAlpha="0.0" editable="false" cornerRadius="0" color="{dataProvider.renMainTxtColor}" textAlign="right" selectable="false"/>
In the FB4 the code looks like this
<s:List id="myList" height="100%" width="100%" x="17" y="30"
               dataProvider="{arr}"
            itemRenderer="gui.views.ProjectView.CalItemRenderer" >
        <s:layout>
            <s:TileLayout/>
        </s:layout>
    </s:List>
and renderer look.
    <mx:Canvas>
        <mx:Image x="0" y="0" width="78" height="38" source="{ dataProvider.renBackUrl}" scaleContent="true" maintainAspectRatio="false" verticalAlign="middle" horizontalAlign="center"/>
    </mx:Canvas>

arr is ArrayCollection;
Generaly when I run aplication made witth Flex 3 - Tile is completed after 2-3 sec. In FB4 with SDK10485 - after 6-7 sec.!!!
Do you have any idea?
Thx
Chris

for info my ArrayCollectio has about 30 indexes
I found solution.
I made some test with different text Components (Fx 3 & 4)
My conclusion is.
<s:TextArea - create longer that <mx:TextArea, <s:Label
I change <s:TextArea to <mx:TextArea in the ItemRenderer. - now is OK.

Flex build errors and warnings not in English but in Dutch

Hello Flash Builders,
I'm using Flash Builder 4 beta and both Flex SDK 3.4 and 4.0 beta 2. The problem I have is pretty annoying. Many error and warning descriptions, which you see in the "Problems" pane in Flash Builder, are in Dutch. Why? I do not know. I never told it to and I can't find anywhere in the settings an option to change it. I did not download the Flex SDK in Dutch, if that's even possible. Unless they forced me to, because they found out I live in Holland I think I would like Dutch compile error descriptions.
Though I am Dutch, most of the time the Dutch descriptions are fare more difficult to understand than the English versions. And looking up an error when you don't know what it means is also pointless, cause the most common language on the net is ofcourse English and not Dutch.
Someone knows how to change the language of the compiler error and warning descriptions?
Any help would be great!
Many thanks.

Hi,
DBNetLib (Database Network Library) errors occur when the BizTalk Server runtime is unable to communicate with either the MessageBox or Management databases. When this occurs, the BizTalk Server runtime instance that catches the exception shuts down and
then cycles every minute to check to see if the database is available.
Check if there is any server restart activity happening every night?
Alternatively, you might need to
Set the SynAttackProtect registry setting as described in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899599. Additionally,
look at the Group policy for that SQL server to be sure that the Group Policy does not periodically UNDO the setting change that you did above.
Refer:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionWrite (send()).]General network error. Check your network documentation.
Other possible causes could be
1) Low hardware specs (Could be hard disk memory issue, check the free space on the server)
2) Sharing one server or disk for more than one group of BizTalk databases
It could also be a network card issue that could we worked around by turning off TCP Chimney using the following command:
Netsh int ip set chimney DISABLED
For more information, see
Microsoft support article 942861.
Refer for details:
Avoiding DBNETLIB Exceptions
Similar issue reported here ->

Build and test Flex 4 in Hudson?

Hi
May I know how to build and test Flex 4 web application in the continuous integration server like Hudson?
I think tutorials have been describing of how to develop Flex 4 application using Flash Builder. Is it possible to build Flex application from command line (so that it can also be called from Hudson)?

I was able to convert a VI that contains a call to a library function (in this case, a DLL) into a DLL. I have isolated my problem to passing a hardware handle through multiple layers of library calls... My handle is a U32 that I am passing as a value at each layer.
I talk to my hardware via a DLL provided by my third party vendor. I have some LV code and a call library function in a subVI. When I convert my subVI to a DLL, my hardware does not respond as it should -- it behaves as if I have not opened a session with it even when I have already opened a session.
I remember reading somewhere that handles had to be initiated from the same process... does anyone know the details of how this works?

Yes, flash builder 4 was the name given to what is effectively flex 4.
This answer is, essentially wrong.
Flex 4 is a Software Development Kit (SDK) that includes a compiler, a user interface framework, and a few other items.
Flash Builder 4 is an IDE that can be used to develop Flex applications. Flash Builder 4 can also be used to code ActionScript w/o any dependencies to the Flex Framework.
Grizzzzzzzzzz wrote: 2. Are Flash Builder 4 and Flash CS4 the same ?
No, Creative suite 4 is a software library consisting of many different programs
This answer is much more correct; but for additional clarification:
Flash Builder 4 is an IDE that programmers can use to develop applications for the Flash Platform.
Flash Professional CS4 is an IDE that Designers can use to create time-line based animations for the Flash Platform.
One is geared for designers; and another for programmers. In theory they can be used to reach the same end point although I wouldn't want to do application programming in Flash Professional; nor would I Want to do design stuff in Flash Builder.

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:

How to get it installed on our machines?
Even if we've updated the extension manifest.xml with <Host Name=”PPRO” Version=”[8.0,8.9]” /> and <RequiredRuntime Name=”CSXS” Version=”5.0″ />, Premiere CC 2014 doesn't load our extensions.
Any help on that?
