Flash Builder Constantly Hangs. HELP!!

I'm running Flash Builder CS5 on a 64bit Windows 7 HP box and it constantly hangs while typing, selecting text, pasting, and other normal actions in the editor. It hangs for 5 to 10 minutes and then goes back to working normal again. However, sometimes for not more than a single character being typed and it hangs again! It's gotten so frustrating I'm wondering how I am ever going to complete my AIR app. Some days it is hung for longer than it is working and so I get virtually nothing done.
Does anyone have an idea why it might constantly hang? I am not running any versions of Eclipse or Aptana on this machine.
Thanks!

Well, I finally figured this out. Even though I had uninstalled Webroot Security Essentials (anti-virus software) it never really was gone. Because I didn't know that I brought my machine back to factory software state and reinstalled Adobe. Flash Builder was working great so I re-installed Webroot and FB started crashing again. This time I was able to uninstall Webroot completely and FB is working again.
I switched to XFinity security (Norton) and it is still working correctly.
Although I ranted against Adobe a bit (sorry, guys) it wasn't directly their fault. Still, for the amount of money the company makes on these products it would be nice if they tested them against the leading anti-virus packages so if there is a problem it can get resolved by the software companies. Just a thought.

How to recover deleted projects in adobe flash builder 4.5 for PHP

Hi
Problem:I accidently deleted project in adobe flash builder 4.5 for PHP and in confirming dialogue box,i checked delete contents one(see figure).
I have wasted almost 6 hours and googled almost everything but couldn't find solution.
I have also used data recovery software like Get Data:Recover my deleted files.It found all my deleted files which was deleted by me pressing Shift+Del,but it didn't displayed files which i wanted(since they were deleted by Adobe flash builder).
Any help would be welcomed as that project was so important for me.

Thanks for your solution but in mine it saying,There are no previous versions found.
I have used almost 6 recovery software paid and free and didn't intstalled on that drive where my original files are located so that it don't get overwritten.
All of them are able to recover some files like
.project
public/bin-debug folder
.settings folder
But my .php files i located in web root folder.Those file by i connect data/services. I mean PHP project files are deleted.
I had following structure of files
<Web root > php scritps to connect data\services\UserService.php                  (this file)
<Web root > php scritps to connect data\services\EmployeeService.php          (this file)

<Web root > php scritps to connect data\Imp files to connect data using PHP and MySql.txt (this file)
Files marked by "this files " are lost and not found by any recovery software.
I need those php and txt files specifically.

Flash Builder 4.6 keeps crashing with "Adobe AIR.dll_unloaded" error

Hi, Flash Builder Experts~~
Please help me~~
I' m using Flash Builder 4.6 and keep encountering Windows error "FlashBuilder.exe has stop working" anytime.
Anytime means editing, building, switching workspace, closing Flash Builder.
Windows Event Viewer recognized this error as "Application Error" and detail information as following:
Faulting application FlashBuilder.exe, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x4b707bdf, faulting module Adobe AIR.dll_unloaded, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x4e741f2e, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x624bdff4, process id 0x19ec, application start time 0x01ce9ee098db209a.

Currently my colleage and I will encounter this error about 4~5 times a day, and its very frustrating
If there is any suggestion ? Maybe I can update this dll file to newer version??
Thanks for reading this discussion~~

I've been seeing what sounds like a similar problem (Windows application "BEX" error when attempting to close Flash Builder via its [X] icon).
(Win 7 Enterprise, SP1, 64-bit, i5 + 8GB RAM), Flash Builder 4.6, Java 1.7.0_07)
I tried the following:
-- Launching Tour de Flex (from the task bar icon), and then updating AIR to the latest version
-- Right-clicking on the Flash Builder task bar icon and then selecting "Run as Administrator"
-- Right-clicking on the Flash Builder task bar icon and then selecting "Troubleshoot compatability", then applying the compatability fixes it suggested.
Somewhere along the way, the problem went away. I then ran the compatability troubleshooter again and (I think) removed the compatability changes (since windows security was asking me whether I want to let the application update my computer every time I launched FlashBuilder--annoying!).
The problem still appears to be fixed--but only with a whole ten minutes testing. I'll just have to see if the above is really a fix/work-around.

Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Plug-in Utility Not Installing on Eclipse

I am trying to install Flash Builder 4.7 Plugin into Eclipse. I have downloaded Flash Builder Premium via Adobe's Creative Cloud. I have also installed Eclipse Indigo. I am running this all on Mac OSX.
According to a tutorial I found I needed to go into the Utilities folder found in the Flash Builder install and run the Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Plug-in Utility. It seemed to run fine. Afterwards you should be able to see "Flash Builder" in the help menu of Eclipse. However it is not there. You should also be able to set Flash Builder preferences under Window --> Preferences. Flash Builder is also not visible there.
According the the tutorial there should also be this file "fb-4_7-plugin-encoded.link" created in the "dropins" folder of Eclipse. This file is created. However it is blank.
I looked into the installation log and there was only one concerning message.
Move File: Destination: /Applications/eclipse/dropins/fb-4_7-plugin-encoded.link
Status: WARNING
Additional Notes: WARNING - There was a problem moving /Applications/eclipse/dropins/fb-4_7-plugin-encoded.link
I am unsure what this means the documentation seems to be pretty sparse. However, it seems to be the only problem in the entire installation process. Any ideas or suggestions on what could be causing this error would be great.

Hey,
I actually did solve this. Forgot to come back and answer. Hopes this helps Stefano.
I went into dropins/fb-4_7-plugin-encoded.link and edited it to say the following:
path=C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7

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.

I cannot install flash builder 4.6. Installation hangs while unpacking files

Below is the information from the event viewer. I am using Windows XP SP3. I don't know, but I wonder if it has something to do with our roaming profiles. The place it seems to be trying to unpack to is \\EssexHQVM\Desktops$\user.name\Desktop\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 Installer, which has a special character in it. I can't find any way to have the file unpack to another location, it doesn't prompt for a location.

So, the best solution that I have come up with, which is a poor solution, is to run the .exe file on a machine that is not connected to our network and wait for the files to unpack. Then copy the files to a thumb drive and move them to the computer that I work from. I can then install Flash builder with no problem.
This is a kludgy work around that ought not be. How hard is it to have the unpacking routine prompt for a location? That would allow me to give it a location to unpack that would not cause a hang up. Or, failing that, why not unpack in the same location as the file that is doing the unpacking? Then I could simply place the file in a good location and let it run.

Flash Builder 4.5.1 for Mac hanging/crashing during startup "Loading Workbench"

Hello,
I'm having ongoing trouble with Flash Builder 4.5.1 hanging/crashing during startup.
Sometimes the following Terminal command fixes the issue:
cd ~/Documents/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.5/cascaded/308971/configuration/.settings
rm org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs
However this isn't a silver bullet solution, and sometimes the only way is to uninstall and reinstall FB4.5.
But this is a major hassle, especially after 3 or 4 times!
I am running Mac OS X 10.7 and have updated to FB 4.5.1 Premium and also installed Subversion/Subclipse as well as the BlackBerry PlayBook SDK.
Problems seem to occur when working in SVN projects.
I have also noticed that the Delete and Arrow keys and Right Click fails to work sometimes also.
Is there a way to reset / clear FB 4.5 Prefs / Workbench?
Thanks,
David Douglas

Delete the Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 folder from your Documents (assuming you don't have anything valuable in there). That seemed to work for me, as I don't keep my projects in there but there were some temp files that were breaking it. You'll probably have to re-inport your projects.
Adobe, I'm getting very sick of your (expensive) products wasting my time.

Flash Builder 4.5 Hangs When Loading Large Projects

I recently upgraded from Flash Builder 4.0 to Flash builder 4.5. I am running the 32 bit version of Eclipse Helios on windows 7, 64 bit. I have installed the latest 32 bit Java build, jdk1.6.0_25
Smaller projects and libraries appear to build and run fine. However when I attempt to load my main application, which is quite large, Eclipse Hangs for several minutes. Occasionally it will return after some time, but as soon as I move the mouse cursor again it hangs again. The last attempt had 1.8 Gigs of memory allocated to the eclipse process before I killed it.
Some other things I have noticed.
*) 4.5 does appear to be more sluggish for me generally than 4.0 for the demo apps I have built to test weather or not the install is working
*) If I do not attempt to actually open any files, I am able to clean the project and have it produce an executable
*) I have "build automatically" turned off, the problem does not seem to be initiated by the build. The problem seems to be something to do with loading large mxml files or files which include large mxml files.
*) The log files only complain about Eclipse being closed improperly (from me killing it aftter a prolonged hang) and about a collision with the ctrl+shift+G key combination
*) I have reverted to the original 4.0 plugin and the project still builds fine
*) Opening the stand alone flash builder 4.5 and pointing it at the same projects that work in 4.0 yields the same hanging symptoms as the 4.5 plugin version
*) I have juiced up my Eclipse memory settings and confirmed that they work quite well for my 4.0 build. My Eclipse.ini looks like:
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.1.R36x_v20100810

-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms1024m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:PermSize=256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
I am really interested in several of of the new 4.5 features. Any comments / suggestions welcome. I am out of ways I know how to trouble shoot this short of rebuilding my app up from scratch by adding components one at a time, which would take a very long time.
If it would be at all helpful, I would be happy to drop by the San Francisco office with my laptop to trouble-shoot this
-Chris.

When I run the application in the memory profiler under FB 4.0 it takes
about 80MB of RAM peak.
I can not get the app to launch out of FB 4.5.
I have reproduced this issue on two different machines running only Eclipse
both stand alone and the plugin versions.
My machine has 4GB of RAM, my typical usage is less than 2GB.
Right now with FB 4.0 I am working on the problem project and a few sample
projects and Eclipse is consuming about 600MB which seems normal to me.
The confusing thing for me is that everything works fine and is responsive
with FB 4.0 and the issue does not seem to be actually compiling the
application, rather it has something to do with how FB is parsing my source
code that causes the hang. Almost like somehow a circular dependency check
that used to work is now failing or something like that.
I am not sure how to find out what FB 4.5 is hanging on precisely. I can only
see that the logs look normal and memory usage climbs out of sight while it
is hanging.

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's debugger is hanging my browser!

Hi everyone!
I've been running into a situation where every time I try to debug my app, in Flash Builder my browser hangs!
I've tried installing both Flash Player debuggers I found on the Adobe site: The Windows Flash Player ActiveX control content debugger for Internet Explorer and Netscape compatible browsers.
Both IE and Mozilla freeze when my app tries to make a connection back to my local server (localhost), which stops either browser from connecting to Flash Builder. Google Chrome simply cannot install the Flash Player debugger plugin.
I can't seem to get around this. There seems to be a bug in the Flash Player debugger!!
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I read from http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-16153 that the installed Flash Player is the wrong version. And reinstalling a debugger version of Flash Player 9 would solve it. But what if I need the Flash Player 10? Then what?
Thanks.
I'm working with:
Flash Builder 4
Flash Player 10.3
Mozilla 4.0 Beta 7
Internet Explorer 8.0.6

I think I can help because I had the same problem and I spent a lot of hours trying to fix the problem. I tried several solutions but none of them worked. The problem is that the Flash Player in the browser hasn't debugging capabilities. The link mention earlier, http://flashplayerversion.com/, is a really good one to check if your browser's Flash Player has this feature.
The solution for IE and Firefox can be found from this link http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html.
Make sure you download:
Download the Windows Flash Player 10.1 ActiveX control content debugger (for IE) (EXE, 2.93 MB)
Download the Windows Flash Player 10.1 Plugin content debugger (for Netscape-compatible browsers) (EXE, 2.90 MB)
The first link will install debugger player for your IE and the second one for your Firefox. I think it's a bit misleading to mention "Netscape" nowadays, it should be switched to Firefox.
Because Chrome has the Flash Player integrated (which is GREAT) it does, however, cause more problems to get a debugger player for it. However, as long as I have at least one browser that makes debugging in Flash Builder function -- I'm happy!
One last thing, in Flash Builder make sure your web browser in Preferences is one that has a debugging supported browser. Go to Window > Preferences and choose General > Web Browser. Make sure the browser is either IE or Firefox. I also tried with Opera (v. 10.63) and it had the debugged version of Flash Player. So, Google just needs to do add a little improvement that developers can have a debugged player and everything is perfect.
I hope this helps!

Flash Builder Hangs when compiling to AIR App

I created a presentation in Catalyst with some embedded objects and some linked objects, then jumped it to Flash Builder to have my developer add in some scripts. We then tried to Export Release Build to create an AIR application. Problem is, it won't pull the linked assets. If I check the box to include the assets it hangs on the compilation. I can just keep clicking the "Finish" button and nothing happens. If I deselect the "Assets" I can click "Finish" it compiles the AIR application, but I'm left with a basically empty application. I don't understand what's happening. Any help please.
Thanks
Jim

Well Anirudh, it somewhat worked. I added the new source
folder just like you diagrammed and when I compiled the project to an AIR application the application file size jumped from 3mb to 500mb. So it obviously pulled the linked images. But when we installed the AIR application the images still weren't found. Any ideas?
Right now there are two items in the project that have Assets in the name. I don't think this is correct.
Here's a screen grab.

FLASH BUILDER 4.7 PROBLEM PLEASE HELP

Hello,
So i just ordered the adobe creative cloud service today and downloaded the adobe application manager, installed Flash Builder 4.7 and then preceded to create a flash game. It had tons of errors with my code so i then just did the simple HelloWorld program and it ran fine. But as soon as i tried to type in more complex code like (import flash.display.Loader) it has a yellow triangle by this statement of code saying that (import flash.display.Loader is not used locally). I have had this problem with the rest of my code also. Please help!!! I have already tried to contact adobe technical services but they said they couldn't help me because I had the creative cloud. I am in desperate need of help!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks,
DarkRue97

Flash Builder 4.7 is warning about unused imports largely to help you clean up your code. These warnings may also be useful if you have made a typo in the qualified name. An unused import, however, should not stop you from building your application.
If you're building a Flex application, then you should use a Flex project. Flex projects use the Flex SDK 4.6 already included in Flash Builder 4.7. Unless you're trying to customize or update the SDK for a specific reason, you shouldn't need to add a new Flex SDK if you're just starting out to explore developing a Flex application.
Once you start writing more complicated applications or games that take advantage of the latest AIR features, you can update the Flex SDK with a later version of AIR by applying the updated AIR SDK overlay for Flex zip distribution manually. I would wait until you're more familiar with Flash Builder 4.7 and Flex projects before trying to upgrade an SDK. The following like describes the process:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/how-overlay-air-sdk-flex-sdk.html
If you're doing pure-ActionScript development, you can use an ActionScript project. These projects use the new compiler, ASC 2.0. In such a project, you cannot use Flex concepts, like MXML or CSS. Some Flex-specific metadata extensions in AS3 are also not supported. Just pure-AS3.

Error message in trying to use local content in Adobe Community Help of Flash Builder

Hi,
I have set my Adobe Community Help application preferences of Flash Builder to 'Display local content only'.to Yes.
I also disabled my internet connection to use local help content only.
I get the following error message when trying to access any of the links from Help home page.
To view the requested page, connect to the Internet or deselect "Display Local Help content only" in Preferences.
I understand this is due to all the links point online HTTP urls.
But why cannot the local help content be accessed when it is already downloaded to local and the 'Display local content only' option is set to Yes?
This saves me a lot ot time otherwise using Adobe Community Help is painful even for a short period of time.
Thanks,
Ram Manoj Kongara.

Hi, Ram -
To help troubleshoot your problem, can you please do the following:
In the Adobe Community Help application, go to Edit > Preferences.
Select Local Content.
The list of Help packages downloaded locally appear. Make sure that the status of every Help packages reads “Current”. If the status of a Help package reads "Out-of-Date”, select that Help package, and click Update to download the latest Help package. Note that to do this, you have to be connected to the Internet. Once you fully download the Help packages to your desktop, you can access Help offline.
One other thing that I would want you to check is the Adobe Community Help Client version that you are using. To check that, in the Adobe Community Help application, go to File > About Adobe Help. The build version should be 3.2.0.610.
Let me know if this helps. If the issue still persists, we can investigate further.
Thanks,

Need help for flash builder

i need help for flash builder 4 and papervison 3d. I need to create a slider with it ranges of value from 10 to 50 to adjust the camera values for the camera.fov and also need to create it for the yaw of the object from 0 to 360. I try to look for any slider event and classes in this program but cant find any, btw, i need to use the AS only project file.
here is my codes:
can you please tell me how i should modify the codes?
package
    import flash.display.BitmapData;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import org.papervision3d.materials.BitmapFileMaterial;
    import org.papervision3d.materials.BitmapMaterial;
    import org.papervision3d.objects.primitives.Sphere;
    import org.papervision3d.view.BasicView;
    [SWF (width="800", height="600", backgroundColor="0x000000",frameRate="30")]
    public class EarthBitmap extends BasicView
        private var sphere:Sphere;
        public function EarthBitmap()
            super(800 , 600);
            var earthmaterial:BitmapFileMaterial = new BitmapFileMaterial("../assets/Earth.jpg");
            sphere = new Sphere(earthmaterial,100,20,18);
            camera.fov = 25;
            scene.addChild(sphere);
            addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateSphere);
        public function rotateSphere(evt:Event):void
            sphere.yaw(0.2);
            singleRender();

Turn the click handler into a full on separate function. Then store all the views in an array and use Math.rand() to randomly choose one.
Something like this:
<fx:Script>
