Flash-builder-4 is constantly "Publishing Target Flash Professional File..."

Hi,
When working on Flash project in Flash-Builder-4 and Flash-Pro-CS5, FB4 is constantly performing a "Publishing Target Flash Professional File..." as can be seen in the progress window.
I sometimes get 10 simultanious lines in the progress bar trying to do the same "Publishing Target Flash Professional File...".
What is going on? FB4 is sure not trying to publish the same thing over and over before the first publish is done.
I get this problem when working on my bigger project (around 10-20 packages and around 50 classes).
The next thing that usually happens is that when I initiate a Test-Movie of the project (Ctrl+Enter), at this point is that Flash-Pro-CS5 is crashing.
Any idea what's wrong with my system?
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
You can find the log under
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-27264
I will update on any progress with this issue.

Flash Builder Errors When Editing a Flash Professional File

I'm having lots of problems trying to use Flash Builder 4.51 as my code editor from Flash Professional CS5.5. My immediate problem is a constant stream of pop-up "Problem Occurred" dialog boxes in Flash Builder which make it impossible to do any work.
The message specifics vary a little but the title bar says "Problem Occurred" and inside the dialog box it says '[something] has encountered a problem." The [something] varies but is commonly "Finding occurrences" even though I'm not trying to search for anything at the moment. If I click the Details button the additional info is something like:
An internal error occurred during: "_imageWidth".
java.lang.NullPointerException
Right now, I'm trying to find all references to a specific variable, _imageWidth, so it says:
'_imageWidth' has encountered a problem.
An internal error occurred during: "_imageWidth".
When I click OK the dialog goes away and 0 references are reported but that is wrong. The var does exist and there are references. A few seconds after clicking OK the same error box pops up again. I click OK and a few seconds later it's back. Like I said, it's impossible to get any work done.
If, instead of searching for references, I do a text search the error is 'Finding occurrences' has encountered a problem. Again, the error dialog pops up incessantly.
This is in a new Flash Builder 4.51 workspace with only a single project. Here is the procedure I used to create it:
Create a folder inside my workspace
Copy Flash Professional .FLA file and its associated ActionScript classes into the project folder; change the Flash Pro publish settings to permit debugging
Create a new Flash Builder Flash Professional project in that folder, targeting the FLA file
Create a Debug Configuration targeting an existing HTML file in the folder
With this procedure I'm able to edit and debug from Flash Builder for a few minutes. But before long an onslaught of popups begins. At that point, there's no way to accomplish any work. Restarting Flash Builder doesn't help either.
Is there any way to make this work?
David Salahi

Found a workaround. The dialog is not modal so I just dragged it over to the other monitor and I can ignore it. A new message is added to it every few seconds but I don't pay it any attention.

Exporting flash professional 5.5 image assets

I am having some trouble exporting flash professional 5.5 image assets to pngs (or any other image format with an alpha channel).
In Flash Professional 5.5, I bring up the library window, select one of the images, and then right click to select "Edit with Photoshop", which then opens the image in Photoshop. However, it also seems to replace the transparent alpha channel with a dark green (?). Without even saving the file in Photoshop, Flash Professional then shows the image with a dark green background too. I also tried exporting to Paint.net, but had the same problem.
Anyone know how to export an image from a Flash Professional file into a more standard image format?

Are you sure that you have the line smoothing option selected in the bottom of the tool bar? You might try re-installing the wacom driver, or delete the Flash preferences.

Quitting Adobe Flash Professional Creative Cloud (CC) Loses All Project Build Settings

I am currently working on an Adobe AIR iOS project, targeting the 3.7 SDK in Flash Professional CC running on Mac OS X 10.8.4. If I quit out of the Flash application, reopen it, and then reopen my AIR iOS project, all build and publish settings are lost. This includes the "output file" path location, the publish settings "target", all "source" paths provided under the "Source path" tab under "ActionScript Settings", all "library" paths provided under the "Library path" tab under "ActionScript Settings". I have to go in and reset these everytime by hand after relaunching the Flash CC application.
Anyone else experiencing this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Dharmendra,
while you're about to fix this publishing problem, you might also want to look into the problem, that the 'Output file:' in the publish settings doesn't update its value when one changes the current active Profile.
Test case:
- create 2 profiles, e.g. WebDebug, DesktopDebug
- have [WebDebug] publish the .SWF to [WebOutput] and...
- ... [DesktopDebug] publish the .SWF to [DesktopOutput]
When switching between the 2 profiles, the 'Output file:' text box does NOT change its content.
"Workaround":
- select the targeted profile
- close the dialog via [OK]
- reopen the dialog
--> The 'Output file' text box now has changed its content accordingly.
As it seems to be of no interest at the moment, when bug reports are being created - like in here "http://forums.adobe.com/community/report_a_problem" - or the 'Adobe bug reporting page' doesn't work at all (http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/), I'm just posting it here...
Thanks

Flash Professional IDE Compile Target for Secondary SWFs?

When building using the Flash Professional IDE (CS6), how should SWFs that are intended to be loaded secondarily be compiled. That is, what should their compile target be?
Thanks

>>Do you mean that the secondary swf's can have a compile target of flashplayer 11.3?
Yes, secondary SWF with this target should get loaded.
>>Then in the root swf has a compile target of air 3.6 and it does not matter what the target was for the secondary swf's?
Yes.
>>You mention that the secondary swf's are assets only, I thought the whole idea with 3.6 multi swf projects, was that these can now contain as3 code.
Yes they can contain as3 code but there is no restriction of using swf-version>=19 with secondary SWFs.
>>Also how are the secondary swf's supposed to be included in the root swf compile. (Not the runtime load method) In flash CS6 do we just add the secondary swf files to the included file list of the root publish settings dialog?
Yes, you've to provide SWF files in included file list and also have to use code to load them at runtime.
>>Also how do we designate AOT mode?
In CS6, AOT mode ipa gets published in target Apple App Store and Ad hoc.

Flash Builder crashes Flash Professional CS6 on save

Hi,
I'm using Flash Builder 4.7 and Flash Professional CS6 for game development. When I'm saving an action script file in Flash Builder it sometimes crashes Flash CS6. It happens several times a day and it's really annoying. I'm working on iMac with Mac OS X 10.9.1. I've also checked that I've installed all available updates.
Please tell me how to fix that problem,
Regards

Here are some things that help me:
Open the version of Flash I want to use to compile the project first
Turn off Build Project Automatically and use Ctrl-B instead so you're just compiling when it makes sense for you rather than at every change.
Shared asset libraries may cause crashes during the "updating assets" phase, so avoid them if you can. If you really need them, open the file in Flash before you try to publish from FB.

Is there a way to update Flash Professional CS5 / Air to publish for iOS7?

Hi all,
I'm fairly un-knownledgeable about AIR but here's my issue:
I've been developing and prototyping an app in AS3 for some time- publishing to iOS from the iPhone OS Settings in Flash Professional CS5, and testing on my iPhone 4. However, ever since the iOS7 update, when my app runs on my iPhone it simply turns white. Too old a version of AIR, incompatible with iOS7? CS5 has AIR 2.0, and I've gone through steps to try and replace and update it with 3.9, though I can't find any tutorials or info on how to do anything earlier than CS5.5.
Having swapped some files around to get Flash to recognize AIR 3.9, the best I was able to get happen was for Flash to run the app in debug mode but instantly close it.
Any way I can update CS5 to support iOS7 Publishing?
thanks

I've got my .bat file fully written out, but now the error the command-window brings up is:
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.
The entire contents of the adt file in the AIR 3.9 compiler package is:
@java -jar "%~dp0\..\lib\adt.jar" %*
I have little idea what this means, though I do have the latest version of java. The compiler package I'm using is the one found here: http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html -the Adobe AIR 3.9.1030 SDK & Compiler Windows (218.2 MB).
Further ideas? Thanks so far

Are Flash Professional Buttons broken in Flash Builder 4.7/AIR 3.4?

Moved my ActionScript Mobile Project game from Flash Builder 4.6 / AIR 3.2 yesterday to the new release of 4.7 / AIR 3.4. I immediately ran into a problem with Flash Professional Button's working incorrectly. The buttons have linkages in a SWC exported from Flash Professional CS6, which the project has linked. The content of the buttons doesn't seem to matter. It seems to break in different ways visually depending on it's composition (sometimes it loads unreleated bitmap data or displays with a strange transformation). Has anyone else seen this behaviour so far?

I don't have the time to create a unique project for adobe bug database. So many are having the same issue, I'm shocked that Adobe doesn't know about this already. This discussion that I'm writing in right now was started in december, almost 7 months ago.
Joseph Labrecque says in his blog that adobe does know of this issue and is working on it, he said that 6 months ago. Is he incorrect?
Joseph LabrecqueJanuary 4, 2013 at 6:21 pmGood news that Adobe is actively working on a fix for this issue.

I need help migrating an existing project from Flash Professional CS6 to Flash Builder 4.6.

I have followed tutorials...instructions on the web...all I get are unsolvable errors.
I have a large Air application that compiles fine and works in Flash. However I would like to take advantage of the as3xls api which does not work in Flash Professional (for no reason in particular the internet just tells me it won't work because Flash Professional cannot access some part of the Flex framework).
So I want to make my project work in Flash Builder. However, when I attempt to reference my document class, flash builder gives me an error telling me the package path com.andrewbefus.ModelMapper no longer works. It does this no matter how I select the folder to reference my document class. If I change the path to nothing...Flash Builder is happy with my document class and unhappy with every other class I have made.
Then I decided to make a new Flash Builder ActionScript file and simply replace the ModelMapper.as document class that Flash Builder created with my completed ModelMapper.as. After some messing around with paths and directories, I got Flash Builder to be happy with my program structure but then all hell broke loose on almost every single Class outside the Flash Builder framework. One by one I attempted to tell Flash Builder where to go to get my components, fl.motion classes, and my custom classes but Flash Builder refused to recognise them unless I reference the folder containing the files, and then proceeded to tell me that the project path of every single class needed to be changed. I imagine if I spend the rest of my day mucking around with this something else will come up.
I went looking for a tutorial explaining how to migrate a Flash Professional project over to Flash Builder. The closest thing I could come up with told me to just select my fla. file by going Project<Flash Professional<Create project using Fla file... which worked great except refused to compile my project as a desktop application for no sane reason - giving no option to select my project when I attempted to create a new Run Configuration.
One frustration after another....

I've also followed all the instructions here:

Still no luck...

This doesn't seem to work the same way in CS5.5 / CS6
In the video the class files are associated with the FLA, when you switch back to Flash Pro...
So far, when I follow these steps the classes are not associated with the FLA, the class field for the stage in Flash remains blank.
Also, clicking the edit icon in the properties of a MovieClip and allowing FB to create the file, does not associate the as file with the MovieClip.
Returning to Flash Pro and clicking the Edit button attempt to create a new file once again, but since the file already exists in FB it just remains on the New ActionScript Class dialog, with the Finish Button grayed out (because a file with the same name already exists in FB).
The resulting AS files for a given are created in a sub folder under:
Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/[Project]/src-[Project]/*.as
Yet the FLA is located in Documents:
Documents/[Project].fla
Should the as files exists with the fla, is a folder reference supposed to be set, or did I miss a step somewhere?
Is a source path supposed to be added to Flash Pro for:
Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/[Project]
I am currently on a Mac, but noticed the same behavior in Windows at work yesterday.
Thanks,
Josh

Trying to understand capabilities of Flash Professional and Flash Builder 4

I recently purchased the CS5 Master Collection and am struggling to understand the uses for Flash Professional and Flash Builder 4. I was inspired by Jay Pavlina's Super Mario Crossover game and wish to make similar applications.
However, I am confused about whether I should be using Flash Professional or Flash Builder 4 or both? I purchased the two books that Jay Pavlina recommended "ActionScript 3.0 Animation Making Things Move!" and "Essential ActionScript 3.0". I've been trying to find resources that will help me understand exactly the purpose of each of these applications.
It appears to me that ActionScript 3.0 is used in both? So which one should I be using? Or both? Or is one more design oriented and the other more development oriented? Can one make flash game like Jay's using just one or the other? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I thought about it a bit more. I think you should take my advice with a grain of salt. I am still standing behind what I said but there are some circumstances that we are not in control of.
If your task is to be the beginning and the end of your code - don't bother with Flash IDE. BUT, if you plan to monetize on your Flash/ActionScript skills, you may not have choice but be familiar with as many environments as possible.
Here is my personal experiense that illustrates this point.
I always prayed to gods, chanted to mandalas and made offerings to spirits to avoid a single thing - not ever deal with custom Flash components. Rightly or wrongly I perceive them as one of the lamest Macromedia creations. I am not talking about SWCs but about this thing that you create with preview and all other crap. Above all, it did not (and still doesn't) make much sense to me from functionality standpoint.
Anyway, as, I guess, a karmic retribution, I was dealt this card. I got involved in a project(s) where I was not told that my main task would be to, you are right, write and reverse engineer Flash custom components. If I did not know Flash IDE I would be totally lost. Custom components are so counter-intuitive that only people without programming background can view them as a convenience. Well, it is a convenience if they are written correctly.
The point is that, if you want to make a career out of it, you should gradually get involved with Flash IDE for now. The truth is that there are tons of agencies out there that do not have resources to hire high level developers and they employ "drag n' drop, cut n' paste" individuals. And this is a real market segment. Even well seasoned development houses have to succumb to this reality and cater to such entities.
It is your choice, of course, but I thought it wouldn't be fare to you to be very fascist about pushing my one-sided views.

(.asc) Code Hinting in Flash Professional CS5.5 || Flash Builder 4.5

Problem: I would like to enable code hinting and highlighting in either Flash Professional or Flash Builder when developing an Actionscript Communications File (.asc).
Steps Taken:
Searched Google with limited success, most signs all pointed to FMSGuru.com where one may obtain an Eclipse Plugin, but:
It was created in 2007 (likely out dated)
It has known bugs that haven't been addressed
Searched this forum / adobe's web site to find a solution, to no avail.
Posted this, now, in an attempt to put this to rest
Request: If anyone knows how I can enable FP or FB to give code hints / syntax highlighting, I would really apprecaite some direction. If not, I appreciate the fact you even read this.
Have a good one. Happy Coding.

To note, Dreamweaver has the ability to provide code hinting if I remember correctly but I'm perpetually disappointed in the FMS team for not providing even ONE item that helps in the development of server side coding for FMS. They have never provided anything and it's been up to the good will of developers for the platform to put together tools. As it is now, you'll probably never see anything better as most people (that I know of) have moved away from FMS, partially for this reason despite multiple requests that Adobe do something. Not to insult the FMS team, as they do what they have to do to pull in the paycheck, and the bean counters provide that and seem to be making most of the decisions.
ok. rant all done now

Create Flash Professional component in Flash Builder 4.7

Hello,
I would like to make a Flash Professional Component in Flash Builder.
This is a lot easier for code hinting and you don't have to use a FLA file.
Also you don't have to right click the component in the library and "export component SWC"
The ONLY difference i've seen in the swc file files between a Flash Professional Component and a Actionscript Library Project (created in Flash Builder), is 3 lines of code in the catalog.xml file.
<components>
<component className="centomedia.components:CvPlayerComponent" name="CvPlayerComponent" icon="CvPlayerComponent_IconFile.png" />
</components>
Is this in any way possible?
Thanks for the help!

Come on, someone must have an answer? no?
even if the answer is, impossible
