Flash Builder Debugging keeps trying to Debug in Flash CS5. HELP!

Hello
I have the CS5 master suit installed (OSX) and am having loads of problems using the stand alone Flash Player debugger in Flash Builder.
Previously I had an error message saying it could not find the debugger, I've obviously done something as now it keeps on opening Flash CS5 and using the Flash CS5 IDE Player and gicing me this message. Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file:////Volumes/Macintosh%20HD/Library/WebServer/Documents/TestDebug2/bin%2Ddebug/textLa yout_1.0.0.595.swf
All I want to do is use the stand alone debug flash player and debug in Flash Builder. Am I able to point Flash Builder to use a certain Debugger?
Can anybody help me?

I figured it out.
Although Adobe should have this working out of the box in my opinion.
Running OSX 10.6.4 Master Suite CS5
By default a swf opens in Flash CS5 and not the stand alone player (as I'm sure it did before in previous versions). So when you wanted to debug using the stand alone player from Flash Builder it was opening up in Flash CS5
To fix I changed the default open with program to the Flash Player Debugger. Now Flash Builder by default uses the stand alone Flash Player Debugger.
Hope this help any body.

Hi,
Flash Builder 4.5 serial number will not work directy in Flash Builder 4.7. You can use FB 4.5 key in upgrade scenario (upgradation from FB 4.5 to FB 4.7).
Please use the Flash Builder 4.7 serial number provided at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_flashbuilder4-7 for serialing Flash Builder 4.7.

Flash Builder 4.7 won't debug air app on Android devices anymore

Hi there,
A strange thing happened today to my Flash Builer 4.7 installation on OS 10.8.5 : it suddenly refused installing and debugging AIR apps.
At -the famous- 57% of compilation completion I can see the "installing app on device" message, but nothing happens then, and the one minute connection to app timeout is finally triggered.
I had a look at other threads dealing with this problem here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1154269 and here http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/02/12/new-android-4-2-2-feature-usb-debug-whitelist-prev ents-adb-savvy-thieves-from-stealing-your-data-in-some-situations/ and I downloaded the latets Android SDK and replaced a bunch of files into the /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/sdks/4.6.0/lib/android/bin folder but nothing worked.
The fun side of the issue is that yesterday it worked, and this morning it did not worked anymore, but I swear I did not ugraded Android on my phone nor I upgraded AIR SDK in FLash Builder or OS X. The Android phone is the same as usual, a Nexus 4 with Android 4.3, that I upgraded 1 month ago.
I can't debug my Android app anymore, this drives me crazy, and I spent the day trying to find a solution.
Do you guys had a similar problem ?

My mistake...
There was a typo into the XML application descriptor, that prevented the app to install properly on the device.
Precisely, it wasn't a typo but raher a malformed <intent-filter> node. I launched adb tool from the console with adb install MyApp.apk command, and I saw this : Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED] in the terminal. From here it was easy to find the culprit.
What would be cool is to have this feature inside the Flash Builder's Console panel.

Flash Builder can't Test or Debug

Recently I've not been able to test or debug my Actionscript projects. Everytime I try I get the following error screen.
I tried reinstalling Flash and the individual debuggers (do I need to use them to replace a file?)
Current specs are:
> Adobe Flash Builder 4
> Adobe Flash Player:

Here's an update...
I've looked for every Flash Player and Debugger I could find in the Adobe Flash CS5, Flash Builder 4 and seperate Flash Player folder and deleted them from my computer. Then I reinstalled Flash Player and installed the following debugger:
After that I tried Flash Builder again and was able to test my project, though it opened Flash CS5 instead of Flash Player, very strange.
So I continued with the debugger and that also started the Flash CS5 player instead of the standalone player and also started loading in Flash Builder:
Up till the point where Flash Builder showed me this error:
The current problem is now the error above and the fact that I can't seem to be able to see any traces of debugging code in my console (Flash Builder) or Output screen (Flash Pro CS5).
Has anyone got an idea?
UPDATE:
I was able to make it work IF I let Flash Builder Generate an HTML Wrapper file.
If I tick it off, the debugging will start Flash Pro CS5, but doesn't debug and gives me the same things as the 2 last screenshot.

Flash builder 4 no run or debug

Greetings.
Thank you for completing a very interesting technology. I am currently evaluating Flex platform to see if it is something I can rely on in the future when considering a RIA platform.
I started with Flash Builder beta 2 about a week before final release came out. All worked well as I was going through "flex in a week" series.
However, when moving from a trial to the final release I do not have "Run" and "Debug" buttons any more. I uninstalled beta first.
Both times I downloaded a plug-in version for windows. I tried installing twice; first into an existing eclipse environment (Zend Studio) and after it didn't work uninstalled and tried with bundled version of Eclipse. I have not tried downloading a standalone version yet. The only way to see the result is through "Export release build" which is OK for final preview but is impossible to debug.
I checked perspecitive customizer to see if the buttons were simply unchecked from the toolbar but they are nowhere to be found in the list.
I also noticed that my workspace changes are never saved and I always have to open all the views over again each time I start the application. Do not know if this is related.
How can I get back the debug and run buttons?
Thank you for any suggestions.

Try "Reset Perspective" in your Window menu.

What Runtime is Flash Builder using when running or debugging an AIR application?

I just updated my AIR runtime to 3.0 and noticed that my AIR application doesn't work anymore (my logfile reports an Uncaught Error #1508). So I tried to debug it with Flash Builder, but when I run it there, everything works just fine. So I uninstalled the AIR runtime completely but noticed that I can execute my AIR app within Flash Builder still just fine. So the AIR runtime used within Flash Builder seems to be a different one than the systemwide installed AIR runtime. How Do I chose within Flash Builder which runtime to use and how do I update this runtime?

When you use Flash Builder, it uses the copy of the AIR SDK that is inside the Flex SDK. This has a complete AIR runtime that is used for debugging. You can choose which AIR runtime to use by switching to a Flex SDK that has a different version of AIR. You can update any Flex SDK by copying the new AIR SDK into it, replacing any existing AIR files. (On a Mac there are some gotcha's here because copied folders are replaced not combined.)

Flash Builder 4.6 differences between debug version and apk release version

I've been struggling for several days now. I have a simple swf file that just says 'hello world' on a green background. It is written in Flash 8 actionscript 2. I've used the Flash Builder actionscript mobile project and flex mobile project in both cases and I can get it to download and display quite happily in the debug version on the desktop emulator and on my ASUS eee Pad Transformer Prime using a USB cable . Thinking that all is ok I then 'export the release build' and the result is a blank white screen on my tablet.
I then did a simple Flex Project as per an adobe 'my first app' tutorial (hellow world!/Success!) and exported the release build with the same certificate I used before and it worked fine.
So after all that my question is - what could be the reason that my tablet is quite able to run a debug version of my embedded swf file but not the apk release version of it?
Any ideas?
thanks
Nick

When I run the tool I dont see flash builder as an option?

Flash Builder Burrito, Random Crash in Debug Build

Hello:
I have been working with Flash Builder Burrito for about a week. When I publish it to the Xoom device in debug mode, it will crash at random. When I publish it as a normal build, it works great.
I'm not sure if it's actually a crash or it loses the Wi-Fi connection to the device and just quits out?
I get no errors to the Debug window when it just random quits the app.
I would suggest it's a coding error but it is just sitting at a simple MXML screen and not doing anything in the background. Plus it works when I do a normal build with out the Debug console.
My guess is there is a packet loss or something and it quits out?

This is a bug in AIR on the Xoom device. As you pointed out it only happens when debugging. We're aware of the issue and working on a fix, you can track the progress on this bug: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-30457

Why is Flash Builder 4.0.1 Plug-in downgrading Flash Player???

Hi all,
I have also installed Flash Builder 4.0.1 as an Eclipse Plugin-in.
I have noticed after installation that my current Flash Player 10.1 version has been 'downgraded' to version 10,0,45,2
Why is that? This does not make sense.
There was also not option to prevent installing Flash Player in FB installation dialogues.
Paul

That's nasty - it should never do that. Normally it works in the other direction, upgrading you to Debug Player 10.1 if you don't have it already.
A few Q's:
Are you on Mac or Win?
What browser did you see this in?
As a workaround, you can find the Debug Player 10.1 installers in your root install of FB 4.0.1, in the Players folder. You can re-run them quickly from there, without needing to download them.

Flash Builder 4 update 4.0.1 broke flash builder...

Good morning,
I updated to the latest Flash Builder 4 build this morning, 4.0.1 (build 277662) and when I launched flash builder I'm greated with the following message in the package explorer:
Could not create the view: Plug-in "com.adobe.flexbuilder.as.editor" was unable to instantiate class "com.adobe.flexbuilder.as.editor.ui.packageexplorer.FlexPackageExplorer".
I've rebooted my machine to see if that helped and it did nothing. I am running Mac OS 10.6.4
Any help would be appreciated.

Apparently, Microsoft acquired Teamprise. I tried deleting all 'features' and 'plugins' related to Teamprise in Eclipse to no avail. I finally just removed FlashBuilder 4 and re-installed. The new download from Adobe installed 4.01. I then installed The new "Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere 2010" Eclipse plug-in. You can get it here and the install guide is here.
Free upgrades will be available for qualifying existing Teamprise customers. I am currently running "Trial" version" until I figure out licensing. Anyone?

Flash builder css styles giving me problems... please help :)

hey guys, have yet another question on flash builder
im trying to make my textInput fields 100% wide to my accordian. but for some reason it just wont happen... when i specify the width it works but when i do 100% it wont...
ive also tried doing
    <fx:Style>
        @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo";
        @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
        .widthChange{
            width:100%;
    </fx:Style>
but i get an error back and it says "CSS Value for 'width' not supported." no idea whats wrong wit that...
i just want my multiple textAreas or the textInputs to go 100% across my accordian.
thanks a lot in advance guys!! really appretiate all your help

Try
You need to make sure that the TextInput's container is as wide as the Accordion, as well as making sure that the TextInput is as wide as its container.
'width' is not a style and can't be set in a CSS selector. But 'left' and 'right' can be.

Flash Builder 4.6 can't detect a Flash CC SWC

Hello,
I'm using Flash Builder 4.6 to create a mobile application. I typically create an AssetLibrary.fla file in Flash and use that to skin my apps. I just upgraded my Flash from 4 to Flash CC and now Flash Builder has major issues detecting classes in the SWC. I also had issues with the FLA itself on animation where I had to remove simple commands like this.stop(); from animations before it would compile.
I cannot upgrade to Flash Builder 4.7 because it horrbily forces the Air SDK to be locked in place and I have my own missmatched SDK with the latest OSMF which is required for my streaming video apps.
Has anyone else experienced this before?

I've found a work around of removing the swc then adding it back. Such a damn pain in teh ***!

Flash Builder will not debug app with .ane on Android Device

Hello ,
I'm having a big issue with the overall stability of Flash Builder 4.7 on my Mac (OS X 10.7.5)
I developped an extension on FB 4.6 for iOS and Android and it was working good. In the meantime I updated to 4.7, and since then I keep on running in to lots of problems when debuggin or compiling.
Now my extension needs to be extended, and suddenly the complete project stopped, because debugger refuses working on android devices.
The error I get is:
An internal error occurred during: "Launching MyAppWithExtension".

What I tried so far:
- Creating new workspace
- Running Flash Builder with -clean parameter at startup
- Reinistalling Flash Builder using Adobe Clean Tool
- Stripping all metadata from the project (keeping only the source files) and make a complete new project setup.
All to no avail.
There's a good chance, I have a problem in my .ane code, but how am I supposed to find out, if debugger isn't working?
BTW, I can make an release build of the project, but it hangs after the splash screen. I don't know, if it's a build or coding error, though.
Ironically, I convinced my my employer to update FB to 4.7 due to the advanced iOS debugging features, but now I already spent about 10 times more working hours in finding workarounds to debugging / compiling issues than these features will ever be able to save me.
Maybe anybody here has an idea on how to solve this issue ?

Ok, this is an old post but i still needed a couple of hours to find a solution, so here we go:
- Most likely you have TWO executable build targets in your project (two mxml that you can launch). If so, go to the Project settings > Flex Applications and remove the one you don't need so you only have one.
- My case was a bit complex though - i was using an ANE and Coldfucion server. In this case change the Output folder in the Project Properties > Flex Server > Output folder to something like "temp" instead of "C:..." generated by Flex Builder. The Android device gets confused by a "C:" reference but still can understand a local "temp" folder
I hope i have saved your day

Flash Builder 4 beta 2 Debug deployment

Flashbuilder hangs nearly very time I try and deploy (via debug) my _trivial_ application (see http://anirudhs.chaosnet.org/blog/2009.10.12.html for the tutorial i'm trying to follow). Flash builder goes in to a 'Building workspace' mode and stays at 0%. I have tried restarting flash builder, restarting computer, reinstalling flashbuilder, etc all to no avail. It has worked _once_ in about 20 attempts. I have switched off 'Build Automatically' for the workspace, to no avail. While I don't get the 'Building workspace' message, it pops up the browser window and then the browser window just sits there. The browser never loads the app. I've tried this using chrome and firefox. After force quitting flash builder the flash application comes up in the browser.
If I choose to run the app, rather than debug it, it appears to work consistently. I installed the 'debug' version of flash player 10 (as directed when I first attempted to debug the application) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html#fp10.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bob

As always, 5 minutes after posting I think I figure out the issue. On that one attempt that worked I set various breakpoints trying to debug something. On subsequent attempts to debug the app, flash builder never opened up the debug perspective (even though during that previous session I said to always open it up). I guess flash builder was sitting at a breakpoint waiting for me to do hit the continue button. After clearing all my breakpoints debugging worked. Of course, I can't reproduce the issue anymore.. even after setting a number of breakpoints flash builder is always taking me to the debug perspective now. I guess I just havn't found that 'magic' breakpoint yet since this (flash not opening debug perspective when hitting a breakpoint) has happened to me twice - the initial install and subsequent install of flash builder - while trying to debug the same issue...

Flash Builder 4.7 becomes unresponsive when trying to add 5-6 source folder under Flex build Path

Hi,
I am facing issue with Flash Builder 4.7.
Whenever I am trying to open any mxml or .as file after project setup, flash Builder 4.7 becomes unresponsive without showing any error message or popup.
At the initial project setup, I am able to open file but when I try adding 5-6 source folder under Flex build path->source path, it’s become unresponsive.
Everything works fine in Flash builder 4.6, but I have license key only for flash builder 4.7 and want to use Flash Builder 4.7.
Please help me to solve this issue.

Fixed: In Project prefs: Flex Build path: added the similar swc folder called "local" from FB 4.6 eclipse/plugins directory and removed the 4.7 one.
For some reason the 4.7 eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flexbuilder.project_4.7.0.345990/dcradS wcs/4.5/locale folder has localisation folders in it and not swc's like in FB 4.6..
