FLASH Builder 4.5 Debugger Issues

Hey,
Recently the projects I've been working on have had additional compiler arguments added to it:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=compilers_21.html
(e.g. -define+=myval,true -define+=myvalx,false)
This works ok for the compiler but I'm noticing now sometimes my FLASH Builder will now trigger breakpoints in external libraries no matter what I do.
I've referenced the library directly from my application, removed any swc references internally, did a clean etc. This never happened before when I never had these conditional compiler arguments. Breakpoints also work fine within the context of the main application.
Has anyone experienced this before and know anyway to work around it?
(This doesn't ALWAYS happen, sometimes the very same library works fine, but other times it does not)
Thanks,
Sean

My two cents on this issue & how I resolved it.
I was getting a similar message which referenced a location in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, and was looking for this version of the Flash Player: Flash64_10_3_162.ocx
What I tried that did NOT help:
Re-associating the SWF file type to open with a Flash Player debugger version downloaded from Adobe's site.
These three steps resolved the issue for me:
I had installed the 64-bit version of the Flash Player a few months ago, so I uninstalled that since it cannot be used by Flash Builder as a debugger. Back in FB 4.5.1, I got another message saying Flash was not installed at all.
I used Adobe's Flash uninstaller tool and then,
re-installed the latest debuggers for IE & Firefox.
I can now debug in IE or FF without any issues. FB finds the debug version of the Flash Player.
From what I saw when researching this, there seem to be many causes for this issue so I'll give Adobe some slack here. I will point out that the post from Adobe employee Anirudh Sasikumar, above, was not helpful in my case and was in fact misleading and not specific enough as to the location of the file he referenced. I searched for that file and found dozens of them on my machine, none in any location he mentioned. I wish he would have taken a little more time to give a complete path to this file. Maybe he did, but I could not find that path, or folders, on my machine. I work in a tightly-controlled network environment so perhaps these folders are ones I cannot see due to permissions issues, but it would've saved me time to get a complete path to start with.
For complete and full disclosure, here is my set-up; hopefully this will help others with a similar setup who are experiencing this nagging issue:
Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, Service Pack 1
Flash Builder 4.5.1.313231
Eclipse 3.6.1r361_v20100909xxxxxxx
Flash Debugger version (IE & FF): 10.3 r183

Flash Builder 4.5 Debugger Problem

Hey Everyone,
I spent the better half of the last hour searching for a remedy to my situation but have not found one. I have a problem where in Flash Builder 4.5 I keep losing my debugger version of Flash Player. I download the version here http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html#fp10 and it works again. However, seemingly random it will do it again a couple of days later. So I'm trying to figure out what is causing this or how I can fix it. It is quite annoying to go to jump into a project, debug it and then have to stop everything and download it again. Anyone know how to fix this?
I am running it on Mac OSX 10.6.7 (latest).
This is the message I receive when it breaks:
"Flash Builder cannot locate the required debugger version of Adobe Flash Player. You might need to install the debugger version of the Flash Player or reinstall Flash Builder. Do you want to try to debug with the current version?"

My two cents on this issue & how I resolved it.

Flash builder 4 and flash 10.1 standalone debugger issue on osx

If I use the standalone flash debugger version (Flash Player Debugger 10.1.52.14) with flash builder 4 on osx 10.6.3 then this happens:
I compile the project and the debugger opens. If I click the red stop button then it never closes the debugger. I have to close it manually. Doing that means I have to use clean alot more and often up to 3 renders open after that.
If I switch over to the standalone "Flash Player Debugger 10.0.42.34" then the red stop button works fine and I dont get duplicate players launching.
Anyone else experience this?
I don't use the web player versions.

10.1.53.64 is the latest standalone version. Could you please try with that version?
You'll get it here: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

Flash Builder 4 Beta RDS issue

I cannot connect to ColdFusion via RDS with my Flash Builder 4 beta 2. I have no issue connecting to CF via RDS in dreamweaver CS3.
However whenever I try to connect to a CFC via "connect to DataService" and I get "Enter RDS password and user name".. I always get "Authentication faliure. The supplied username or password may be wrong". I created 2 users for RDS in the CF 9 adminstrato.. and it would not accept either username/ password combo. I even tried using RDS with no authentication and rebooted the pc each time.
I had no issue doing a very basic connection to a cfc like in the HelloCF example.. yet db connectivity fails.. idea of whats' the issue here?
Thanks!

Hi,
Can you access your CFC from the browser?
i mean like http://localhost:8501/MyCFC.cfc in the browser would open something like:
http://localhost:8501/CFIDE/componentutils/cfcexplorer.cfc?METHOD=getcfcinhtml&PATH=/MyCFC .cfc&NAME=MyCFC.cfc
Now replace METHOD=getcfcinhtml to METHOD=getcfcmetadata.
If this displays some text as the result like:
'C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\WEB-INF\cftags\component.cfccomponentWEB-INF.cftags.componentWEB-INF.cftags.componentC:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\MyCFC.cfcAT_TestcasesFiles.LogicTesting.BookServiceTestAT_TestcasesFiles.LogicTesting.BookServiceTestnoBookgetItemremoteanytrueitemcomponent'
If this itself throws an error, then you would be hitting
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-23626 , which showed up authentication error though CFC had problems.
This has been resolved in the latest pre-release build.
If you do not have access for the pre-release build please send a mail to rkrishna AT adobe DOT com.
Hope this helps please let us know if you still face issues.
Thanks,
Balaji

Flash Builder 4.5, debugger hanging at 57% need a solutions

I have been reviewing "All" the web solutions to my problem and have not found a solution. I have rebuild my work space so many times I can do it in my sleep. I have installed/uninstalled the flash player (debug version) again so many time I can do it in my sleep. I have rebooted and rebooted so many times I can tell how long it takes down to the second when my system will be available.
I am not an ID10T, yet I am starting to feel like one.
Here is my environment:
Windows (wishing it was an apple)
Browser(s): FireFox version 6
Flash Builder version 4.5
Flash player (latest debug version)
Attached snapshot from FlashPlayerVersion.com
As you can see from the image I have a debug version installed and the debugger options is disabled, this makes no sense to me and real assistance is appreciated.
Thank you
Harold
Just because one guy can make a baby in 9 months, doesn't mean 9 guys can do it in 1 --> Debug takes time not just bodies.

This is what I did and it worked fine, now I am really confused. Your
continued assistance is appreciated.

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,
Amitabh Arya

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...
Best regards,

Flash Builder 4 and facebook issue

Hi,
I've implemented the facebook files neccecary for the facebook & application integration correctly.
Once I've done it with the tutorial's project it worked perfectly.
However once I tried doing the same proccess for my latest project and after I've uploaded the project to my website
all it gave me was a blank white page with nothing in it.
important notes:
* - The application IS registered with facebook.
* - The project has the SAME files as the first project I did with the tutorial (except the main application ofcourse).
* - Using Flash Builder 4 (flex 4).
Link to the black white project:

Any suggetions?
Thanks in advance,
Sagi.

Flash Builder code color appearances issue (!!)

Okay, so I just spent about 15 - 20 minutes reformatting the color appearances of my code display (it really helps when programming at least 8 - 10 hours a day with large code files). Everything was about fine after making a bunch of adjustments (got the background dark blue, general code light blue, comments green, traces orange etc), and then all of a sudden these customizations are gone, and all my code is monotone color (everything light blue on dark blue). The preferences still show the changes I made tho! I've switched to an alternate work space, and the unique color appearences there have persisted. I've also restarted FlashBuilder, and that had no resolved.
Grrrrrrrr!!!
Anyone know what's up with this?
[ PS - I won't rant on about how unusable it is to have various elements of this process buried and scattered across at least 3 different parts of the IDE preferences, but hint: Adobe, If you want to demonstrate to your developers how to create usable RIAs, be sure the IDEs are highly usable. ]

Mark - so you see click in the drop down and you select it so that your code now says:
<s:Button click="" />
and the code lookup now shows "Generate Click Handler" between the click double quotes?
What happens if you place your cursor between the double quotes in the click event and type ctrl+spacebar?
Can you share a screenshot of what's happening?

Hi Codex
Welcome to the forum.
I suppose the only question is does your superdrive support dual layer discs?
Looking at your specs I'd assume it does. That being the case the only other thing to do is decide how the layer change will occur. I'm pretty sure the default is to create the layer break automatically but to check this highlight the disc icon at the very top of the Outline window. In the Disc Inspector select the Disc/Volume tab. Set the Disc Media to the 8.54gig option and the greyed out features below become available.
The simplest route is to just leave them all as default, but this will mean that DVDSP will choose a point at which the layer change will occur and that may be right in the middle of something where you don't want a slight pause while it jumps to the next layer. You can place a marker in your track which is a layer-break-point marker (tick the box in the marker inspector) forcing the layer change. From memory the DVD spec prefers Layer 1 to be larger than Layer 2 (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) - all of this is covered in the manual so you might want to check up on the details there.
Then insert your disc and hit Build&Format.
Happy Burning
Cheers

Flash Builder Design Preview Not Working With Catalyst Objects On Stage

Hi there,
I'm working with a flash catalyst component from a flex project library, and it will not preview in desing mode. Anyone ever run into this? It seems that it may be a memory issue as the custom components themselves will preview, but now a bunch of custom components all displayed in a view.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated! For now I'm back to guessing x & y coords...

Going to answer my own thread here. This issue doesn't seem to be with Flash Builder, I think the issue lies in the browser not being able to register the button modes, namely Firefox 4. I've seen it happen in other browsers too, like Chrome, where the fix is to embed the swf as param.wmode = "window". Hope this helps someone out.

Flash Builder 4 List controls trimming spaces from XML node values

I'm trying to migrate my Flex 3 application to Flash builder 4. One issue that I have is that one of my datasources returns a list of cities and regions. To get the regions to display in the correct order in Flex 3, a space was added to to their name in the database (ie. "West", "Northwest" are stored in the database as " West" and " Northwest" so that when sorted by the sql query they would appear at the top and gets translated to XML to fill in a list box or combo box in my Flex 3 application. I have functions that take that selected city or region value from the combo box and queries the database for various performance metrics. In migrating to Flash Builder 4, I noticed that the spaces in the region names no longer appear in the combo boxes. When I show the data in a datagrid, the spaces are still there but when populating a combo box or list box, the leading space gets trimmed. This is an issue since if a user selects the value "West", it doesn't find it in the database since it is listed as " West". This wasn't an issue in Flex Buider 3. Is there a work around or parameter that I can set to force the combo box or list box to show the data as-is versus having it trim off the leading spaces for my regions?
Also, a stupid question, in Flex 3, you were able to find the select value of a combo box by using comboBox.text. What is the equivalent in Flash Builder 4? Do I need to do comboBox.selectedItem.Region.toString() now or is there a shortcut to pull the text from the combo box?

I think you want this:
private function onLoadPortfolioData(event:ResultEvent):void
    var obj:XMLList = event.result.img as XMLList;
    if (obj.length > 0)
        _imgCollection = new XMLListCollection(obj);
        pictureList.dataProvider = _imgCollection;
If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such. Thanks!

Nightly SDK and Flash Builder Beta

I am using Flash Builder Beta and have tried different nightly builds (ie. 4.0.0.9437, 4.0.0.9417, 4.0.0.9188) and have the same issue - when going into Design View I receive several warnings:
Design View could not load fiber_rb.swc. It may be incompatible with this SDK, or invalid. (DesignSWFLoader.ERROR_LOAD_VERIFY).
The same error for: fiber.swc, serializers_rb.swc and sparks.swc.
Does anybody have a fix besides two workspaces with diff. sdks?
There have been some other discussions in regards to this but with no fix.
First ... Adobe talks of using nightly builds with instructions.
Second ... when users have problems such as above a standard reply is "this has been fixed in an internal build". How does that help us?
Third ... in Flex Bug and Issue Management System this was a reply -
Heidi Williams - [08/04/09 05:40 PM ]
I don't think we want to spend time on encouraging users to use newer SDKs with DV of Beta 1. There are probably lots of things that won't work so they should either just get on prerelease or wait for the next Beta.
Fourth ... prerelease is not open any more and I for one am unfortunately not on it. FWIW - I do own a Flex Builder 3 license.
I understand Flash Builder is a Beta program, but why talk of nightly sdk releases and using Flash Builder if there are issues and unavailable internal builds. And if Adobe is working on bug fixes, along with changes such as the Rename List, why not give users access to those internal builds? At least licensed users. Let everyone keep up to date!

Hi,
Form early in the piece it was acknowledged that nightly builds would not work corrrectly with design view. As there will be a second beta in a matter of days now It would be best to wait for that. The builds from the pre-release program have shown a great amount of improvements across the board so I am sure the end of August(hopefully) beta release will be pretty good and make a lot of people happy.
I use locally compiled sdks that I update every night and things are working reasonably well. So just hold on for a little longer and enjoy the second beta release when it arrives.
David.

Flash Builder 4.7 licence activation

Hello,
    My company bought a flash builder 4.7 premium licence, but apparently it doesn't work...
     I created a small projet to test and add that piece of code to see if it's ok :
protected function applicationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
                                        Many features require a Flash Builder Pro (Premium) license to function properly (i.e. automation)
                                        The LicenseUser class registers a handler (LicenseHandler) to be called if a Flash Builder Pro license is NOT present;
                                        if a Flash Builder Pro license IS present, then the compiler will remove the LicenseHandler class for the SWF
                                        if (Class(this.systemManager.getDefinitionByName("licence.LicenseHandler")))
                                                  Alert.show("This SWF was compiled WITHOUT a Flash Builder Pro license")
                                        else
                                                  Alert.show("This SWF was compiled WITH a Flash Builder Pro license")
   [RequiresLicense("mx.fbpro", handler="licence.LicenseHandler")]
    public class LicenseUser
        public function LicenseUser()
    public class LicenseHandler
        public function LicenseHandler()
It's a piece of code we can find on some forum and works for some people.
But the message which is displayed is always the first one => "This SWF was compiled WITHOUT a Flash Builder Pro license"
I found that page (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/flex-automation-issues-flash-builder.html) to replace the licence.jar but it still doesn't work...
The profiler doesn't work either...
Have you got any ideas please ?
Thanks.

Hi
I am having same issue.
Have followed the instruction at: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html
When go to compile my mobile flex app I get cant resolve ViewNavigationApplication and new flex mobile projects do not 'finish' when using the wizard.
[Update]
Have AIRSDK 3.5 with ASC 2.0 is working nicely. Also must remember, when updating SDK need to make sure there are not firewall restrictions to the new commands (adt)
This has solved my ios deployment issue with AIR 3.4 (which was only reason invesigating AIR 3.6 in the first place)

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?
Brad

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 ?
