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?

  • Flash Builder Code Signing

    Hi.
    I have question about Code Singing Certificate for Adobe Air.
    I renew Code Signing Certificate to Adobe Air program in 'Flash Builder'.
    But, In program install, popup error and not installed.
    The error message is 'The application cannot be installed due to a certificate problem.
    The certificate does not match the installed application certificate, does not support application upgrades, or is invalid.  Please contact the application author.'
    Why popup this error?
    If I want fix this error, what should I do?

    I should explain a little further to clarify.  If you have released an app to say, Google Play, but want to run an update to that app, then you'll have to use the exact Signing Certificate that you used to first compile the app.  Sometimes, developers forget the password that they used for the certificate, and think they can just issue another certificate under the same file name.  Unfortunately, it's not that easy.
    Now with that being said, you can still add another certificate to your app, and recompile it as normal....and everything will be fine again.  You just won't be able to upload that app to Google Play and "Update" the other app.  Make sense?

  • Enhanced Flash Builder Code Generation Functionality

    For voting in JIRA:
    https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-27169
    The code generation feature FB 4 currently has is only really useful for quick throwaway prototyping or very simple forms. The generation should allow you to configure formatting via default templates, AND optionally utilize a dialog box (similar to that used in refactoring but with a few extras) so that you can configure the contents of each generated function and provide appropriate function names according to coding best practices. For example:
    -User initiates event handler generation
    (Optional, if Codegen dialog is enabled)
    -User is prompted with a dialog that allows them to customize the generated function name, and possibly specify whether they need an Event parameter passed to the function. (Default to NO event parameter, but this could be a pre-configured user option.)
    -FB utilizes the customized code generation format (customizable by the developer) to generate the new function
    If you need a "submitForm()" function and you want both a TextInput's enter action and a button's click action to call it, currently you're better off typing it all yourself, because auto-generation is going to put this long-named function that assumes you need 'event' passed to it. An event:MouseEvent parameter just gets in the way when you also want a TextInput's enter event to call that function, for example. Or perhaps we want to provide a more descriptive name to each handler (via dialog) without assigning IDs to each and every component: "datagrid1_changeHandler" or "button1_changeHandler" doesn't tell us what the function actually does. It's a basic coding best practice to name functions or methods after the actions they actually perform, and in a large application with complex forms auto-generated generic sounding function names are essentially useless from a maintainability standpoint.

    For anyone interested, I figured it out:
    to generate a CFC, you have to right-click a table in the RDS Dataview, then you can generate a CFC. You cannot generate a CFC from an AS class as described in the CF Builder help within Flash Builder.
    Adobe: it would be nice if this got fixed – and if someone there replied to posts like this. You do  know all this, don‘t you?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Help with my Flash Builder code.

    Hello,
    I am getting two errors, well four but three are the same. 1083 && 1084.
    here is my code, can someone look over it and tell me what I am doing wrong. I am fairley new to Flash Builder so please no harassement.

    line 58
    I have been trying to figure this out for a while now. Please help.

    Not to be nasty or "harass", but you need to go back and learn the syntax.  Each line of code should end with a semicolon, and I'm also not sure what you are trying to accomplish with your "else{(userName != "requestofone")".  Are you trying to do a conditional test?  If so you need to use an "else if".  That said, the "else if" you do use is incorrect.  The parens should come out side the curly braces like you did for the initial "if" condition, and the "else if" needs to come before your final "else" since that is where the flow will go when no previous condition is met.
    Example:
    if (a == b){
    trace("do something");
    else if (b == c){
    trace("do something different");
    else{
    trace("do some default thing");
    I hope this helps.

  • 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...

    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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Flash Builder 4.5 + AIR 3.0 RC1 does not output modules to correct location

    Hello
    I'm having some trouble with Flash Builder 4.5 and Flex SDK 4.5.1.21328 with AIR 3.0 RC1. Flash Builder does not appear to compile modules into the location set in the "Edit module" dialog.
    The screenshots below show that the output path of a module is set to a specific folder, yet Flash Builder compiles the module into the default sub-folder.
    #1. Project properties showing application modules
    #2. Dialog showing the path to the module. Not the "Output SWF" location. The default location is the same as the package namespaces, eg: "d6/v3/banners/Banners.swf". After removing the path the module should compile into the output folder (set to bin/debug), however as the next screenshot shows, the module still compiles into the default sub-folder.
    #3. The module is compiled into a sub-folder of the output folder, instead of into the "root" of the output folder.
    #4. The output folder contains only the main application, with a sub-folder for the module.
    #5. Project pproperties showing the output folder.
    There is a workaround - move the module source file into the "Default package" in the package explorer.

    I experienced this problem today, and kind of "solved" it. There may be an underlying bug, though.
    My project compiled fine last Thursday, but I opened it up on Monday (unchanged) and this error showed up in several files. I tried quitting and restarting Flash Builder to no avail. I could not replicate the problem in a new project.
    For me, each occurence of the error was at a private function definition, so I thought I would try changing "private" to "public" on one of the functions. The error immediately went away in all 3 locations (not just the one I edited). I then changed it back to "private" with no error.
    I hope that will help the Adobe team track down the problem.

    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.

  • 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.
