Flash Builder 4.5 blank mxml after computer freezes

Hi !! I have a very strange problem, last night using Flash Builder 4.5 in the moment i was saving the project my computer froze and i rebooted my computer and the Main.mxml file is filled now with blank spaces. The properties says it is 230Kb but opening it in the text editor is just blabk spaces, trying to open in flash builder but ir hangs and when i open the project it gives me "Content is not allowed in prolog." Any ideas ?? Thank you very much !!

Hi Anirudh !! thanks for the response. I have opened the mxml file in wordpad and in notepad, just blank spaces, 230kb of blank spaces, i think it has to do with saving (flash builder automatically builds the project on save) and freezing just the instant after i saved. I really dont think there is a solution, will have to redo it, thank you very much, hope this does not happen to anyone else, it is very frustating and depressing to lose a project. Best wishes !!

Anyway to salvage a render after computer freeze?

I am just going to assume that there's nothing one can do in this instance...but just in case, thought I'd ask: is there any way to salvage what has been rendered if one's computer freezes mid-render? I have a project which takes about 8 hours to render. 6 hours into my render, my entire macbook froze and the system restarted itself. Is there any way to pick up from where I left off with the render?
Thanks

Well ... there's nothing like a combination of hubris and lack of knowledge to get you into trouble ...
Snow Leopard does not, and never had, a Recovery Partition. Lion was the first version of OS X that ever had a recovery partition.
You also seem to know just enough about UNIX to get yourself into trouble. "rm -rf /" completely erases your hard drive, it does not "Reboot the hard drive completely clean and back to Factory Settings" as you seem to think it would.
At this point you have to re-install OS X from scratch. If you have the grey recovery disk(s) that came with your MacBook, use them. If you don't have them then you need to purchase Snow Leopard. You may or may not then be able to migrate your apps from your other MacBook "(Same Model, Everything)".
There is another option that may or may not work. If you really do have an identical MacBook, you may be able to start up the dead MacBook in Target Disk Mode, connect it to your running MacBook and clone the running MacBook's hard drive to your dead MacBook. Repeat ... this may or may not work! You will have to try it to see, and I suspect you will need to repartition and reformat the dead MacBook's hard drive first since you destroyed it from the Terminal.

My mac air want shut down, had to force shut after computer freezing in itunes, box with saving itunes library has been up for 30 mins

I have had a day of it. wanted to join my new pc computer to my itune account. one problem to many devices on my account and two are ones that got broken and couldn't be deauthrise. sooo i deauthrised all computers. my mac air was sitting beside me so i thought i will authrise it again, was that a mistake as my computer became very slow when i went into itunes. it froze and not in the spinning disc way, in the was doing nothing way. held power button in, after waiting 10 mins and it went to gray screen with itune boxs saying "saving itunes library". its been doing this over 30 mins now and will not shut down or anything esle because when i try power button again it says i have not logged out of itune and should do this before it can shut down. not happy!!!! this is after 2 hours prior apple tried very hard sale to get me to buy there tech support for £100. I have never had a problem before, doesn't that seem strange?

Exactly what did you do to run Disk Utility and exactly what happened up to the freeze?
I called some place to ask for advice and they said it could be my logic board???
That's an easy answer to give but not necessarily the correct one.
If you have the system restore disc that came with your Mac, boot with that disc in the Mac while holding down the "D" key. That will invoke hardware diagnostics. Run those several times to investigate the possibility that your Mac has a hardware flaw.

After computer freezer, the computer fails to reboot

Hey,
I was LANing with a friend playing WCIII FT and the game froze. Both of us turned our computers off. He was using a MBP and his computer rebooted immediately. When I tried to reboot my mac book, the screen with the apple logo an the spinning circle comes up and the dot moves around the circle indefinitely. I have left it on for up to 10 minutes but nothing happens. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get my computer to boot up. Thanks
Pat

The game most likely froze because something happened to your machine. From the sound if it, a hardware failure, but maybe not.
Insert the Leopard DVD and reboot holding down the "C" key.
Once the DVD boots, after the language screen, in the menu, top left, under Utilities, run Disk Utility and repair HD and permissions.
If that works, reboot and see what happens.

Reboot after computer freezes

I like to play a game called Civilization, but recently it has been freezing up my computer when I try to load it. I have it stored from an external hard drive so that it does not not take up space on my computer's hard drive. When it does freeze up, the only way I can get out of the program is to press the power button for a couple of seconds to turn off the computer. I assume that this is not the most optimal way to do this. I have tried to reboot using key strokes with out success. Any other solutions would be helpful.

BOTH...when I try to hover over the time, the color wheel of death appears. AND when I go into system prefs, the clock tab selections have been deselected. When I try to select "show date and time in menu bar" again, it stalls for a bit, and then reverts to its deselected state. I've tried rkaufmann87's fix, and it works for just a bit, then back to whacky. Any ideas?

Conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe Flash Builder 4.6

I am installing CS6 Master Collection. However, Flash Builder 4.6 can't be installed due to "A conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 exists on this computer. The conflicting version must be removed before installing from the current media."
First, I tried to uninstall, but Flash Builder was not listed. Then I deleted all flash builder related files, no help.
Then I deleted all Flash Builder related registry entries, no success.
Finally I downloaded and ran the cleaner tool (it does not have any Flash Builder related selection) and restarted, but nothing seems to help.

I too have this problem. I have always installed a complete master collection without discarding the previous version as a 'fail-safe' incase some old files do not upgrade/translate properly. I currently have the full CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5 on my computer. I have had to install CS6 but without Flash Builder 4.6 due to the error "A conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 exists on this computer. The conflicting version must be removed before installing from the current media.”
I do not really want to have to uninstall past versions. I have never had to do this in the past? I have also done a search and can't find anything that says Flash Builder 4.6 It seems that Flash Builder 4.5 is the most recent version on my computer that was installed with CS5.5. The only trial (or prerelease) software I have installed is Muse. This was installed months after installing Master Collection CS5.5.
Going through the troubleshooting info at post 6. It seems like it Flash Builder 4.5 (ie the previous CS5.5 install) that is causing the conflict. See text as copied from the log "WARNING: DW020: {2FC6B122-6F1F-409C-8FF0-8F8369D7F30B} Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 4.6.1.0 conflicts with: {9D0088AD-BBB1-470B-B7B8-520EDEFAE5F3} Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 4.5.0.0 Please uninstall these products, restart your computer and then run this installer again."
After uninstalling Flash Builder 4.5 (part of CS5.5 collection), I was then able to install Flash Builder 4.6. I then tried to reinstall the Flash Builder 4.5 using my CS5.5 installer but this came up as already installed; so it appears that you cannot have both Flash Builder 4.5 and Flash Builder 4.6 installed on the same computer. Is this what Adobe intended ? What is the reason for this?

Configuration Error:1 Adobe Flash Builder 4.7

Hello,
I'm using Adobe Flash Builder 4.7(64 Bit). Instalation went well and Flash Builder worked just fine, but after restarting my computer and opening Flash builder again - popup appeared with Configuration Error: 1. I thought that this was one time only, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the product. But this Error is still appearing. So now I'm uninstalling and reinstalling my product every time this happens - sometimes it works, sometimes not. How can I solve this problem?
Thank you in advance!

I have the same problem: any suggestion?
Thanks.
Davide.

Don't understand about portable apps in Flash Builder 4.7

Greetings,
I am a long time user of Flash Builder. I write *.mxml and *.as files. They get compiled to *.swf files that run in a Flash Player. This has been the most powerful and portable development system for the Web up until Jobs killed it. In response, Adobe has changed focus. According to the hype, Adobe has made Flash Builder do something more to address iOS, mobile, et al. The problem is that, for the life of me, I can't get past all the marketing BS to understand what Flash Builder now does (to address iOS, HTML5, etc.). Can someone please explain to me what Flash Builder now does besides generate swf files from *.as and *.mxml files in programmer speak without the hype? Now, as I too, am forced to look for a different portable solution, I'd like to at least understand what Adobe is talking about.
Thanks!

Android devices have an Adobe AIR install so the .swf files are interpreted like normal.
For iOS - Adobe actually compiles into native code and runs like any other app would. The downside to this is you can't load .swf files that have timeline code or linkage in the library because those have not been compiled into native code and there is no interpreter to run the commands.

Problem signing application to BlackBerry from Flash builder 4.6 premium

Hi,
I would like generate "BlackBerry" version of my application with Flash Builder, for this i'm using this guide.
http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/37176/BlackBerry_Tablet_OS_SDK_for_A dobe_AIR-Getting_Started_Guide_for_Windows_Developers--1943146-1206065540-001-2.0_Beta-US. pdf
First, i have uninstalled older flash builder versions, and i have installed Flash builder 4.6 premium.
After, I have installed the BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK for Adobe AIR.
Next, I have updated the BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK plug-in.
But, my problem is using the deployment setup wizard.
I tried with the BlackBerry Tablet Simulator started, but when I click "Run the BlackBerry Tablet OS Deployment Setup Wizard" to configure your development environment, the wizard is not showing.
I would like generate my application, ".bar" file, signed with the reals certificates of BlackBerry. But i don´t know what is the problem.
Somebody have tested if this wizard is working to Flash builder 4.6.
Furthermore, i have tried to setting the reals certificates of BlackBerry, with the preferences window:
Flash Builder > Preferences > Flash Builder > Target Platforms > BlackBerry Tablet OS > Signing.
Such as at this url:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/packaging-air-apps-blackberry.html
But when i click Register button, the dialog is not showing.
Any idea is wellcome.
Thanks

Hi all,
I have found the problem
BlackBerry Tablet OS search a path that don´t exist in my spanish Windows X.
As my system is at spanish, BlackBerry Tablet OS installer create this path:
%HOMEPATH%\Configuraci¾n local\Datos de programa\Research In Motion
To resolve the problem, you must to create the path in english and copy the content of spanish path:
%HOMEPATH%\Local Settings\Application Data\Research In Motion
By default, code signing keys are stored in a central location in your profile directory and used by all BlackBerry Tablet OS development tools. The default locations of these files vary based on operating system and are outlined in the following table.
Note: In a Windows XP environment, the default %HOMEPATH% is C:\Documents and Settings\<username>. In a Windows Vista and Windows 7 environment, the default %HOMEPATH% is C:\Users\<username>.
Windows XP
%HOMEPATH%\Local Settings\Application Data\Research In Motion
Windows Vista and Windows 7

Question on CCloud Flash Builder 4.6 install

Hello,
I curretly have Flash Builder 4.6 installed on my computer - it was originally installed as FB4.5 when I installed MC CS 5.5 -- but the 4.6 version was made available as a separate installation from MC.5 when it became available last November -- so I now have FB 4.6 as a stand-alone install.
My question is this -- do I need to uninstall my stand-alone installation of FB4.6 in order to install MC6 via my CCloud subscription (when it becomes available on May 11) -- or will the FB 4.6 install in CS6 install without errors (in a different location?). The reason I would like to do this is that FB can sometimes be buggy and I have the current install working well. I would like to install the new FB 4.6 and make sure i works and compiles well before uninstalling last December's stand-alone verson of FB 4.6.
Thanks

Thanks David,
Just two questions
1. Is the FB 4.6 version in CC the same as the FB 4.6 I installed in December, or is it a newer release (eg 4.6.2 etc)? If the CC version is the latest would want that
2. If I did keep my current FB4.6 -- would the CC "know" that it should receive the latest updates. I keep reading where CC apps are always up-to-date with latest releases and builds -- so if I have an "old" FB4.6 -- would the CC updater give it the same updates as if I had installed it directly from CC?
Thank you

Where is the "done" button in Flash CS4 when using Flash Builder 4's new flash component or container?

The documentation for Flash Builder 4 beta says that after opening flash from flash builder, I should click a "done" button in flash and flash should close and what I created in flash should be included as a component or container in Flash Builder. Using the Flash Builder 4 beta on Windows, when I click on the "create in flash" button on the properties panel for either the new flash component or container, Flash CS4 opens, I create something in Flash and no "done" button is present. Nor is anything present in the menus resembling a "done" option. Where is it?

Hi Jeffrey:
Still no done button. Now under commands in Flash I can convert symbols to flex components and containers and these show up in the Flash library.
Thanks:
Jim

Hi,
You may need to install FlexComponentKit.mxp to your Flash CS4 beforehand.

I apparently didn't get one. I've looked under various workspace configurations. Another thing that seems odd is that when Flash opens I get the opening panel that allows me to select the type of file and version of AS I want to use. I select new file with AS3. Any ideas on why the "done" button wouldn't be present and if the opening panel is what I should expect on opening Flash after clicking the "create in Flash" button?

Flash builder - 101 - access the property of an object in a component

hi all,
very basic Q for flash builder -> air app ->
|-mainapp.mxml
|-components.master.mxml
|-com.xlab.mca.mytest.as
{not full code}
in the mainapp.mxml
xmlns:xtra="components.*
<xtra:master>
</xtra:master>
in master.mxml I have a text input field
<s:TextInput x="106" y="72" id="textinput1"/>
from an onclick I am calling an AS3 component
import com.xlab.mca.mytest; //THIS WORKS FINE
in the component mytest.as I have to get the value of the textinput
var ttt:String;
ttt = escape(FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.textinput0.text);
if I have the textinput in the mainapp.mxml it works fine,
but how do I access the property if it is in a component.*
thx
Art

and where would i put the remove.simpleScreen ( simpleScreen is the loader i would want to remove )
would it be on the external swf on frame 1 where the slideshow plays?
or in the main timeline's category's frame?
the problem ( that i see ) is that both loaders are on the same frame ( different layers tho )
so if i put a the remove simplescreen there it wont show me the pictures when i click the thumbs
or could i make it so that it removes it BECAUSE its playing on frame 1 ?

Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 broken download link

Sad that there is no simple reporting mechanism avaialble to report simple problems like this nor appears to be proactive monitoring for problems like this. The Adobe Flash Builder download button does nothing after making a selection from the combobox. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=flash_builder&loc=en_gb
The link was tried on FF13 and Chrome.

Found to be platform specific. Occurs on Linux only AFAIK. Was able to download on a Windows machine with FF13.

New to Flash Builder / Basic Syntax Qestion

I am a seasoned PHP/MySQL programmer that recently has moved over to Flash (about a week ago), more specifically Flash Builder. My Question is after calling data from an external xml file, how can you take the event handler value and store it into a usuable number variable (the xml values are numbers). I have a function and would like to use the retrieved value throughout the document and not just bind it to one location.
protected function retrieveData(event:FlexEvent):void
     getDataResult.token = your_file.getData();
<fx:Declararations>
     <s:CallResponder id="getDataResult"/>
     <your_file:Your_file id="your_file"
                    fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString + '\n' + event.fault.faultDetail)"
                    showBusyCursor="true"/>
     </fx:Declarations>
I have tried various methods unsecessfully to store the value in a usuable number vairable with no success. It will eventuall go in the following among other places
timeline.append( TweenLite.to(meter_fill, .8, {y:"-290"}));

What option do I select for “Application Type.” Web or Desktop? During the project I will have to test so does this matter?
It looks like you are using an older version of Flash Builder. The new version (4.7) allows you build a "ActionScript Mobile Air" project.
I'd recommend updating to get all the latest mobile upgrades.

Where can I download flash builder 4.7 STANDARD?

I can get premium very easily off of the website, but it will not let me activate with my 4.7 standard key. I need flash builder 4.7 standard. After hours of searching I have not found any way to download it. This should be easy!

I have a package of Flash Builder 4.5 std, and I had the same problem.
Finally, I downloaded "Flash Builder 4.7 trial (premium version, maybe)" from download center, and use my serial for 4.7 std. It works as standard edition.
But, my serial key for "4.5 std (package version)" is not available in 4.7.
I have to request Adobe a new serial for "4.7 std".
As I am Japanese, the page which I use to send my request may be not availabe for you. (It is written in Japanese.)
I found the link to request page in FAQ page for FlashBuilder 4.7 ( of course in Japanese). So you can find a link in FAQ, maybe. But I can't see FAQ in english page, as I am automatically redirected to Japanse FAQ page.
Sorry for my broken english, but I hope it is of some help...
