File System issues in Flash Builder 4.7

We recently upgraded from Flash Builder 4.0 (and in one case, Flash Builder 4.5) to Flash Builder 4.7. We are using Team Foundation Server for collaboration. We've been having a number of issues, mostly with our file system:
After downloading a library from TFS, this library will sometimes disappear after downloading another library from TFS.
Also, after removing an association to a library, that library may disappear.
When adding additional libraries to source paths, we often find that the library is not acknowledged (errors when trying to use a member of that package)
After fixing some compiler errors reported in the source code, the Problems window does not always reflect this.
The compiler error icons in the left column do not always match the line of code it is next to.
Any experience or resolutions for these issues would be much appreciated.

Hi Blake,
In another page (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1056583), Adobe states that it will be possible to download 4.6 in alternative to 4.7, to still have the Design View. However, I have not seen such possibility yet.
I will not say that "real programmers don't use design mode". They do, if it works fine.
However, the Design View was not very useful for mobile projects, if you wanted to create an interface which, at run time, adapts to different screen estates.
It was very good to draw an initial mock-up, but only the simulator (and the device) can say how the app really looks like (if you want to know more, please have a look here: http://aliencoding.com/2013/02/22/adobe-flash-builder-4-7-has-no-design-view-is-it-blasphe my-no-but-the-software-contains-some-other-blasphemous-aspects/).
If you develop for desktop, then I agree the Design View lack is a real drag. I think Adobe should at least lower the price of the program, now that it's been scaled down for (I think) copyright issues (the Design mode relies on Flash professional components that was not donated to Apache).
I love this platform because it really saved my butt in cases of real fast devployment, BUT NOW it lacks support for Windows 8 that PhoneGap has...
Can we say... it is a legacy framework by now?

Link File Using Code in Flash Builder

Is there any way to link to a file on a local drive rather than a url by using action script in Flash builder? For example is there a type of "file request" instead of "url request" command I can use?
Thanks,

URM Adapter for File System issue.

Hi, I am just starting out on using the URM Adapter for File System and I have a few questions about issues I am facing.
1. When I try to create multiple searches and map them to Folders/Retention Categories in URM, it does not work. I am able to map one search via one URM source to one Folder/Retention Category (without my custom attribute from question 1). However in Adapter’s Search Preview I am able to perform a search on the documents successfully. Would different searches require different URM sources in Adapter?
2. Does the adapter work with other Custom Attributes? I have added an attribute in addition and in the same way as "URMCrawlTimeGMT" is added in Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (I created a custom Document Service and Pipeline to add a metadata value) and in the URM Adapter’s config.properties file and when I create a search in Adapter based on the custom attribute, it does not map the documents into URM. I am however able to search the documents in Adapter’s Search Preview window with the custom attribute displaying correctly.
Any help with this topic would be really appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Srinath,
Thanks for the response, as to your questions,
1. I am not sure how to enable Records Manager in adapter mode. But I am able to login to the Records Manager web page after starting it up through StartManagedWebLogic.cmd URM_server1.
2. The contents of the file system should be searchable in Records Manager, and should be able to apply retention policies to the documents in the file system, I do not need to have SES, but apparently the adapter needs to have SES as a pre requisite.
Upon further investigation I found that in the AGENT_DATA table the values being inserted were "User ID"(UA_KEY) and NULL(UA_VALUE), so I just made the UA_VALUE column nullable and I was able to pass that step. Is this the wrong approach to fix the issue.
Could you please let me know about enabling Records Manager in adapter mode, I am not able to find documentation online, I have been through the Adapter installation and administration guides. Thank you once again.
Regards,
Amar

Captivate and HTML issues in Flash Builder / Air App

I have a Flash Builder project that includes an HTML component and several Captivate SWFs that play in another window of the app. If I do not have the HTML component on, all works fine. However, when I add the HTML component, I get the following error when I go from one Captivate SWF to another:
Error #2037: Functions called in incorrect sequence, or earlier call was unsuccessful.
at Error$/throwError()
at flash.html::HTMLLoader/throwIllegalMethod()
at flash.html::HTMLLoader/getChildByName()
at com.adobe.captivate.main::cpMovieController/restoreFocusObject()
at com.adobe.captivate.main::cpMovieController/skipFrames()
at com.adobe.captivate.main::cpMovieController/movieonEnterFrame()
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to suppress the Captivate movie from calling the restoreFocusObject or how to suppress the error? I have tried using the HTMLUncaughtScriptExceptionEvent handler but that is not capturing it.
Thanks!

Instead of using the File object, try URLRequest instead:
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Special_Assignment_Title.flv");
ns.play(urlReq.url);

Upgraded to Mac OSX Lion, have an issue with Flash Builder 4.5.1 and Flex SDK 3.2

Howdy, I upgraded my mac yesterday to 10.7, and have run into an interesting problem.
I was using Flex Builder 3 before, using Flex SDK 3.2. After upgrading, I found that Flex Builder 3 is not compatible with Lion anymore, so I had to upgrade to Flash Builder 4.5.
This is fine, I just figured I would add the Flex 3.2 sdk, which I did. However, after adding my project to the workbench for Flash Builder 4.5, I see the following error:
http://cl.ly/3J3W0E22402G2I1L2U1Q
However, as far as I can tell, the following two screenshots mean I have installed the Flex 3.2 sdk:
http://cl.ly/1S0l1m2u1Z0z053Y3U29
http://cl.ly/3c3k2B161K1d1y2H332P
Does anyone know if this is even possible to do? I need to get back into development ASAP. If I can get Flex 3.2 SDK working in this environment, I am pretty sure I will be good to go.
Thanks so much!
Andrew

IOS/AIR Running and Debugging Issues with Flash Builder

I'm having very frustrating intermittent issues running and debugging Flex applications on an iPad 3rd generation retina with Flash Builder 4.7.
Until this morning, launching on device using both standard and fast packaging worked pretty well. Every now and again, I'd get a dialog saying the packaging had completed successfully, but it hadn't. A quick change of the USB cable to another port on my iMac and it started working again. I'd also randomly get a "Error occurred while installing the application: Invalid <device> specified" error, which quickly went away.
This morning, with the same code base, the same certificate and provisioning profiles, Flash Builder has only managed to successfully package and run my application on my iPad twice and I must have attempted to launch fifty or so times. Standard packaging, fast packaging and with and without the useLegacyAOT.
Does this sound like a Flash Builder issue? Is my iMac USB driver dodgy? Has anybody else experienced this?
Any help greatly welcomed!
Thanks,
Simon

Hi I have had this problem sometimes. With my Mac Book Pro.
Try making a new flex application and see if you have the same result.
When I had this problem I created a new Application and copied every thing from my other application.
This my be a hard solution but I don't no any others.

Flash builder 4.7 upgrade issue from Flash builder 4.5 (key is not valid)

Hi,
We (Company) are buying Adobe products more than 6-7 years now. We bought the Flash builder premium 4.5 and Flash builder premium 4.5 for PHP volume licence. Now flash builder 4.7 should be complementary upgrade for us. But when we are using Flash builder 4.7 trial version and adding serial number (Flash builder 4.5 serial number), it's just not working and showing a error "key is not valid".
I chat with Adobe customer care 4 different people, they end up saying that let us transfer you to volume licence department and then chat ended. No more chat messages, I checked more than one hour and still no message.
Then I called they, it took 15 mins to connect with customer care. I picked the "upgrade" option from phone menu and then connected with a guy. After listening complete case he forwarded my call to Volume licence executive and the volume licence executive transferred it to some other guy and the other guy redirect it to some specialized person. So total 4 guys. The last guy (specialized) name was Rohit.
This guy Rohit asked me, did I buy a customer support programme (some product about $2.nn.00 )? I said no, we bought volume licenses for Flash builder premium 4.5 ( about $4000.00 ****). He said, sorry sir I can not help you in this, but I can provide you an e-mail address and you can report your concern there. I already passed my 1.5 hour in this conversation. I said okie. He gave me a case number and told me that he will send a email mentioning that email address as per my request I disconnect the phone.
I never get that email address.
Can some one suggest me what to do next. My case number is : 209-788-274.
My email is: [email protected]
Thanks,

I have the same problem, and i have send request complementary upgrade (Adobe® Flash® Builder® 4.7 Complimentary Upgrade), and only received a Acrobat change licensed...
I´m working with 4.7 Beta the last mounths, and now all the days have to see "please enter your license". So one problem that you can jump with money (if you have that money..), isn´t a problem. Like a i have license from flex 3, upgrade to flex 4, and upgrade to flex 4.5, i´m going to take de upgrade from 4 standard to 4.7 standard (47,97 euros), and not waste my time and money on calls. So yes, I'll see adobe with another eyes...

New Issues with Flash builder - Second time you do search from imported Tutorial file it breaks with AS error

Okay, so I had an issue with the Design View that was broke because of the <s:text> tag inside of the <s:RichText> tag. Adobe fiexed that in one of the next released builds (discussion here in fourms). So I took the tutorial file (again) and started to work on it and all went okay, except that the 'tracking' method on the ricktext tag was taken out. Forums mentioned that. So on import of the 'tutorial' fxp from FC to Flex builder, you get several errors because FC still builds the fxp file with 'tracking' property being used in the RichText tag. No biggie, i just remapped to trackingLeft property in the effected files. Now mind you in the older build that I had this project, worked fine, with the exception of the 'design view' issue with the <s:text> file borking the design view. Bug on it said it was fixed with the next build. which it was but this now when you take the EXACT same code and compile and run it the seach will break each and everytime. Think it has or may have something to do with Adobe taking out the 'tracking' property on the richtext tag.
anyone else having this issue?

I can recreate the problem but I haven't seen it reported
before. WebHelp has an option that would let you avoid the input
box in the Index but not FlashHelp.
There is information in Snippet 1 on my site about TOC
synchronisation but I don't know if it will help with FlashHelp.
Please report this bug via the Adobe site.

Windows File System Issue

I have a system built using Oracle text that worked fine until we moved some content to a Windows file server. The old system used a Unix system with a samba server sharing out networked files. This system is still available and the content indexes are fine. The new system, which uses shared Windows drives, just won't generate any indexes. The Windows box has wide open security - everyone has full access. The file links in my database work - I can select them and cut and paste them into explorer to open them. The code I use to create the indexes is exactly the same for both the Unix server and the Windows server, but it just doesn't index the Windows content.
Any thoughts?

Try starting the local database service as the local administrator user, as the default internal windows account has no rights to access a network drive.

Graphics scaling issues in Flash Builder 4.5.1

Please review this screen shot. Details follow the image.
FB 4.5.1
applicationDPI = "160"
Graphics using MultiDPIBitmapSource scale fairly well.
Graphics used for these properties do not scale well at all:
1) ViewMenuItem's "icon" property.
2) List itemRenderer IconItemRenderer "decorator" property.
3) TabbedViewNavigatorApplication's "splashScreenImage" property.
These graphics assets end up with horrible scaling artifacts, making them unusable. So, I cannot use icons with Menus or Lists or a splash image.
I've reviewed all of Adobe's documentation and followed all of their recommendations for creating graphics assets for use in a mobile applications. Simple graphics with no curved lines or angles less than 90 degrees scale well. Anything else does not.
Attached is a screen shot comparing the scaling issues at 160, 240 and 320 dpi with applicationDPI = "160". It is using an FXG graphic created in Illustrator CS5.5.
The FXG graphic was embedded in the s:IconItemRenderer like this: decorator = "{images.arrow_list_icon}".
For testing purposes, I also tried switching the decorator at runtime based on the applicationDPI, but of course this fails as the application still scales the graphic whenever the application's applicationDPI property is specified.
<s:List>
<s:itemRenderer>
<fx:Component>
<s:IconItemRenderer
decorator = "{chooseDecorator()}"
<fx:Script>
//This code selects a different FXG asset based on the DPI reported at runtime.
import images.arrow_list_icon160;
import images.arrow_list_icon240;
import images.arrow_list_icon320;
import mx.core.FlexGlobals;
protected function chooseDecorator():Class {
    var rtnVal:Class;
    switch (FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.runtimeDPI) {
        case mx.core.DPIClassification.DPI_160:
            rtnVal=images.arrow_list_icon160;
            break;
        case mx.core.DPIClassification.DPI_240:
            rtnVal=images.arrow_list_icon240;
            break;
        case mx.core.DPIClassification.DPI_320:
            rtnVal=images.arrow_list_icon320;
            break;
    return rtnVal;
</fx:Script>
Has anyone come up with methods which can be used to avoid scaling issues with these items when setting the applicationDPI property?

Chances are that you'll get better answers for this question on the Flex general discussion forum. This forum is visited more by engineers on the tooling team while the latter has people from the Flex SDK team.

Possible to create a static library (.a) file for Xcode with Flash Builder?

Is it possible to write code in AIR that can be compiled to static library (.a) to be used in an iPad app?

Hey paulhart83,
My guess is therabbitwindfall's answer was correct but where you able to find a solution to your question? If so, please do share. I need to embed my app within another app and the only way is through a static library. I'd rather not have to re-develop my app in Xcode in order to generate the .a file.
Thanks.

Steps to ensure all Adobe Copyright requirements are met with Flash Builder generated source files?

I'm currently doing copyright scanning on our product to look for open source copyright banners, and to make sure we are correctly following all copyright requirements for our licensed software.
That said, our entire team uses licensed Flash Builder 4.7's to build our client in Flex. Several of the source files generated by the Flash Builder (especially skins) have Adobe Copyright banners on them.

I can't find any assistance or online help that outlines how I fulfill the "accompanying" portion of that clause. Is there something I can add to our arbitration file or documentation to satisfy that?
Thanks,
Joe Firebaugh

Read your posting too fast, sorry.
On the Mac, select a text file (.TXT file) in the Finder. Choose File > Get Info. In the Open With section, select the editor you want to use for TEXT files. Click Change All.
Sometimes, you have to do this with more than one TXT file, but it should work.

Camera attached with USB - How to access the flash file system?

OK...this is maddening for someone that is so used to using a Windows file system that can be enumerated on any device, whether a hard disk or attached USB flash device. All I want to do (at this moment) is see the file system on the flash in my camera so I can delete certain images. None of the Leopard utilities seem to be able to access this as a "device". Perhaps this can be done from the terminal with Unix/Linux commands...not something that I want to do.
Can someone help me?
Thanks.

Scott Radloff wrote:
This has more to do with the camera than OS X. Some cameras use communication protocols that do not play well with the Finder. For these cameras, support is built into iPhoto.
It is also built into the included Image Capture utility, which is more flexible than iPhoto in some ways for simple downloads. You can preview and select individual pics, and set the folder where the pictures go.
Terence Devlin wrote:
Almost all Canon and some Kodak cameras refuse to mount in the File System. It’s a characteristic of the brands.
In the case of Canon it is lack of support for USB Mass Storage which almost all other brands do. But as stated it is much better and safer to use a card reader instead of the USB cable. A card reader always shows up on the desktop for drag-and-drop.
