Flash Builder 4 for Mac: Unable to export a release build

Hi
I've been unable to export release builds of any AIR projects when using a Mac installation of Flash Builder 4. I can run the AIR apps within the IDE, but I keep getting the following error when exporting: "One or more errors were found while trying to build the release version. Unable to export."
The weird thing is that I can export the exact same AIR projects using my Windows 7 copy of FB4 just fine, without any errors.
Details of the Mac installation:
OSX 10.5.8
Flash Builder 4 plug-in version, v4.0.1, on Eclipse v3.4.2
I performed a fresh install of FB4 today (before anyone suggests it ) but to no avail.
The error log - I wasn't sure what to copy, so just took everything that had the right time entry:

Hi Chris
Thanks for your reply.
I had already seen that post, and the answers were not applicable to me. But thankfully I have found the solution now!
I Googled the error message: "org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredElementImpl.getTextContent()Ljava/lang/ String", and came across the following bug report:
http://code.google.com/p/alkwarel/issues/detail?id=10
As suggested in the link above, I deleted the xerces.jar  located in user.home/Library/Java/Extensions/. I then cleaned my project, and FB4 for Mac finally exported the release build!
That bug has been annoying me for MONTHS. I'm so happy it's fixed now!
All the best,
Zabeen

  • Can't export AIR Release-Build -- won't let me enter password for Cert.

    I have a certificate for my AIR app, and since upgrading to Flash Builder 4.7, I cannot export a release-build of this app...  I go to Project | Properties | Flex Build Packaging and select the certificate, click OK and it never asks me for the password.  Then when I click Project | Export Release Build, I'm selecting the "Signed AIR Package" option, and it tries to compile it but then gives me an "Incorrect Password for this Certificate" error...  But it never even let me enter the password...  So what do I do?
    Thanks,
    L.

    So, I just created a whole brand-new AIR project.  Just a simple thing with a <s:TextArea> in it.  I can't export a release build on that project, either. 
    When you're on the initial screen you see after you select Project | Export Release Build, you fill in the folder where you want it to be exported and select which "Export As" option you want -- it's not supposed to jump immediately to compiling when you click "Next" is it?  "Finish" is grayed-out, so I would imagine there's another window that's supposed to pop up after I click "Next."  But it jumps straight to compiling when I click "Next," so I don't ever get a chance to even look at the certificate or enter a password for it...   How do I get it to stop jumping straight to compiling?

  • Bug in flash builder 4? ( export air release build )

    Hi every one, I am working on a air application using flash builder 4. I tried to export an air release build and I chose my certificate and every thing seemed to be fine, but whrn I clicked on finish button, nothing happend!! I mean it did not do anything, no error message, nothing. after a lot of time I found out on of my images in assets folder starts with space. that was it!! flex 4 could not export the release build for that reason !!just make sure your file names do not start with space!!
    Anyways I thought to post it here maybe it saves some time for someone.
    cheers

    I had the same issue trying to export an air project:
    Start to export the release then nothing append, no .air file generated, and the compiler asking me again and again to choose files to be exported.
    The issue came from project-app.xml file containing leading space within tags.
    For instance <systemChrome> none </systemChrome> must be change to <systemChrome>none</systemChrome>. (Note the spaces around "none").
    The workspace log file might help in case of silent failure. flexWorkspace/.metedata/.log.

  • Alternative to Adobe Flash Player for Macs running Yosemite

    Is there a reliable and secure alternative to Adobe Flash Player for Macs running Yosemite?  I keep getting websites telling me that I can see a video because my Flash Player needs to be updated.  But I haven't wanted to install it as I've heard negative things about it and Macs.  Is there an alternative to Flash Player?  And if so, what is it and where do I find it?

    Being that Flash is very insecure, I've completely removed it from my MacBook Pro. The best alternative is to uninstall Flash from your system and download Google Chrome as it has Flash build into it and you're not vulnerable unless you're browsing in Chrome. If Safari is your main browser, as mine is, then you need to open Safari Preferences, go to Advanced and click the checkbox for 'Show Develop menu in menu bar'. Once you've done this, the Develop menu bar menu shows up and you can click it and choose 'Open Page With' and choose Chrome. It is a bit cumbersome, but it removes the vulnerability when browsing in Safari as many sites are now using HTML5. Hope this help.

  • Best way to format my 16GB flash drive for Mac and PC transferring large power point files?

    best way to format my 16GB flash drive for Mac and PC transferring large power point files?

    format flash drive in Exfat for transferring files between Mac and Pc.
    FORMAT TYPES
    FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
    Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X.
    Maximum file size: 4GB.
    Maximum volume size: 2TB
    You can use this format if you share the drive between Mac OS X and Windows computers and have no files larger than 4GB.
    NTFS (Windows NT File System)
    Read/Write NTFS from native Windows.
    Read only NTFS from native Mac OS X
    To Read/Write/Format NTFS from Mac OS X, here are some alternatives:
    For Mac OS X 10.4 or later (32 or 64-bit), install Paragon (approx $20) (Best Choice for Lion)
    Native NTFS support can be enabled in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is not advisable, due to instability.
    AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support NTFS
    Maximum file size: 16 TB
    Maximum volume size: 256TB
    You can use this format if you routinely share a drive with multiple Windows systems.
    HFS+ ((((MAC FORMAT)))) (Hierarchical File System, a.k.a. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Don't use case-sensitive)
    Read/Write HFS+ from native Mac OS X
    Required for Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! backups of Mac internal hard drive.
    To Read HFS+ (but not Write) from Windows, Install HFSExplorer
    Maximum file size: 8EiB
    Maximum volume size: 8EiB
    You can use this format if you only use the drive with Mac OS X, or use it for backups of your Mac OS X internal drive, or if you only share it with one Windows PC (with MacDrive installed on the PC)
    EXFAT (FAT64)
    Supported in Mac OS X only in 10.6.5 or later.
    Not all Windows versions support exFAT. 
    exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table)
    AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support exFAT
    Maximum file size: 16 EiB
    Maximum volume size: 64 ZiB
    You can use this format if it is supported by all computers with which you intend to share the drive.  See "disadvantages" for details.

  • Reinstall Flash CS3 for Mac OSX

    Recently had to replace the hard drive on my Mac Book Pro. Data transfer to the new hard drive went well EXCEPT for my attempts to reinstall Flash CS3 and Flash Player (I'm forgetting the name of the latest and greatest version of the media player--forgive my temporary ignorance). I followed all of the procedures outlined in the ReadMe file. Have tried it several times to no avail. I keep getting an error message at the end of the reinstall process and the program will not open. All of the application files appear to be on my hard rive. Something is missing or needs to be repaired. I just don't know where to start to find out what needs to be repaired or replaced or updated. I suspect that because there have been numerous updates to Flash player, something related is interfering with the reinstall process. Any advice help would be appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Mike, thank you very much for your help. Luckily I have found the 
    right Flash version: 10.1.102.64

    *Flash Player for PPC Macs*
    Adobe's last release of Flash Player for PPC Macs was in November, 2010 with release 10.1.102.64 Subsequent releases are for Intel based Macs only.
    To check your installed version of FlashPlayer - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
    Read this whole post before proceeding.  You have to follow steps precisely and there is mention of an alternative version of Flashplayer at the end that some have decided to try.
    To update you should download:
    Flash uninstaller: [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,] Make sure you get the right one.
    Flash installer 10.1.102.64 [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.1.102. 64_and_9.0.289.0_archive.zip]  Open the archive to reveal yet more archives and multiple files. Select: flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg
    To install:
    1) Run Disk Utility and verify your hard drive.  If the hard drive reports errors then it will need repairing first (another topic).  If it verifies, run Disk Utility's repair permissions.
    2) Back up your hard drive, ideally to a bootable clone. A bootable clone will allow you to restore your hard drive to its original state should something go wrong.
    3) Quit all applications to ensure nothing is actively using Flash. You can even do the next step while booted to Safe Mode to make sure.
    [Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]
    [What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564]
    [Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
    4) Run the uninstaller application. Adobe says, "Adobe recommends that you restart your computer before you install a different version of the player."
    5) Run the installer application from the .dmg file you got from the second download.
    6) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your computer. This is important when installing anything from Adobe.
    7) Restart your computer.
    Notes:
    Adobe installs things all over your computer. Simply dragging a file or two to the trash won't ensure you have uninstalled all old file components.

    Flash player 11.1 hack on PowerPC - https://discussions.apple.com/message/16990862 - this gets FP to tell web sites you are running a newer version than you really are. This gets around web sites that don't really need a new version but think they know best. If they really do require it then this hack doesn't work.

  • Adobe Flash CS4 for Mac OS X

    is there Adobe Flash CS4 for Mac?

    Of course. A simple visit to Adobe.com would have confirmed this for you.

  • Is it now OK to download Adobe Flash Player for Mac?

    Is it now OK to download Adobe Flash Player for MAC?

    It's always okay. Hackers try to find ways to attack it, Adobe fixes it. Just like Apple releases patches for flaws that have been found. Just like Microsoft constantly releases security fixes for its OS and other software.
    No software is perfectly and forever safe, and unlikely ever will be. The only thing you must do in respect to the Flash Player is to only ever get it directly from Adobe. Never, EVER pay attention to any third party site that pops up a message about having to update flash. Especially if it tells you to download said update from their site.

  • Flash fails for Mac OSX

    I just cannot install the free Flash Player 9 for Mac OSX
    (PowerPC). I get an "Access denied Error 1008:5,-5000" , then "You
    do not have enough access privileges for this installation". I've
    installed/uninstalled countless times and even tried to install
    older Player versions. No success.
    And when I access webpages viia my Safari 1.3.2 ( on Mac OSX
    10.3.9), any Flash content gets a box saying there's no MIME plugin
    "application/x-shockwave-flash". It then sends me to the Player
    download page all over again!
    I have Quicktime Pro 7.1.6 and have ticked all its MIME
    settings...
    So far nothing via Adobe or Apple has worked...

  • Export Air release build

    I am trying to export an air version of my application in Flash Builder 4.7.
    I tried to export it as 'Signed application with captive runtime'. I did not find a way to add my media folder and configutation files to the package, so I copied them manualy in the app folder. But starting the executable does exactly nothing. When I start the swf in Flash Player everything works fine. Is there a way to look for some error messages?
    TIA

    So, I just created a whole brand-new AIR project.  Just a simple thing with a <s:TextArea> in it.  I can't export a release build on that project, either. 
    When you're on the initial screen you see after you select Project | Export Release Build, you fill in the folder where you want it to be exported and select which "Export As" option you want -- it's not supposed to jump immediately to compiling when you click "Next" is it?  "Finish" is grayed-out, so I would imagine there's another window that's supposed to pop up after I click "Next."  But it jumps straight to compiling when I click "Next," so I don't ever get a chance to even look at the certificate or enter a password for it...   How do I get it to stop jumping straight to compiling?
