Flash Builder doesn't launch my app nor debugger

Hi, very odd.
Flash Builder all of a sudden stopped launching my app or the debugger.
When I press run Flash Builder switches to my browser (Firefox 3.x) then nothing.
Doesn't open a new tab, no error messages, nothing.
Exact same thing when I try to debug, except I get an error saying it failed to connect, session timed out.
It also says to make sure it was compiled with debugger on (huh?) and that I'm running a debugger version of Flash which I am.
Not sure what to do now. There is no real error message, and no odd behavior other than it just not doing anything.
Any idea?

After I hit run the URL that is shown on Firefox is the last page that I was on, so in this case, 'this' pages url; therefore, has nothing to do with what I'm trying to run. So in this case it would be "http://forums.adobe.com/post!reply.jspa?message=3625965"
Now as for which version:
Flash Player version: MAC 10,2,153,1 debugger version
Mac OS: 10.6.7
Update: Alright, it seems to have been some Firefox bug. I upgraded to Firefox 4.x on a haunch and somehow it must of reset whatever that was causing the problem and it now works as nornal. Thanks for the help though, appreciated.

Flash Builder doesn't rebuild the project everytime I modify the code

Hi,
Flash Builder doesn't rebuild the project everytime I modify the code.
I find myself chasing ghosts when trying to debug my project. Flash Builder 4.0 doesn't rebuild my project after every change I make.
The "Project - Build Automatically" is of course selected. To make sure the problem is real I ran "Project - Build All" several times. Nothing helped.
For example, I am using a boolean constant to select different code in an if block. Even if I change the value of the boolean, When I debug the code, I see that the constant's value doesn't change. Only If I log out login again, FB will rebuild my code.
This happens too many times and it is very confusing to debug, when you don't know if the result now is with or without your changes.
It also affects the following:
- breakpoints that are set or disabled are not taken into account and the debugger will skip them even if they are set or stop on them if they are disabled.
- the debugger stops the debug on empty lines, if those lines previously contained code.
- When I comment out the declaration of variables. Eclipse doesn't recognize them and doesn't show any hint on them when you hold the CTRL key and hover over, but while in debug mode, when you hover over the variable instance, its shows a value for it.
Thanks for your help.
Bye,

The problem is with the SDK settings selected for the Compiler.
Try going to 'Project' > 'Properties' > 'ActionScript Compiler'.
Now, in the 'Flex SDK section', try changing the SDK. Click on 'Apply'.
This will force FB to rebuild all settings for the project.
You can try again. FB should now have started compiling with latest code changes again.
Please Note: This is not a permanent fix though!
In case the problem re-occurs, you'll need to again perform the steps mentioned above to get FB back on track.

Flash Builder doesn't recognize instances from Flash CS.

I've currently started working with Flash CS 5.5 and I use Flash Builder 4.6 to work with AS3 files.
A problem arrised when I try to access an instance of a symbol placed on the stage or inside of another symbol.
Flash Builder doesn't recognize the existance of said instance and shows this as an error. (The code compiles fine though.)
Is there any way of bringing instances placed using the Flash CS Editor to Flash Builder's attention?
(I've also noticed that even the code editor of Flash CS doesn't recognize these instances.)
Thanks in advance.

Flash builder 4.5 launch failed

I have a project I built using most of the code from the employee directory tutorial and when i made the changes to run it using DAO and the sqllite database it does not launch and sends me a lauch failed error
Process terminated unexpectedly
initial content not found
Any help to get this so I can atleast run it and debug it would be great

On a related note that might be the cause of some people's problem:
I just had a similar problem (how/why I found this post) and I was getting a similar error. The problem started when I deleted the .swf from the bin-release folder. I kept getting:
Process terminated unexpectedly.
initial content not found
Launch command details: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.6.0\bin\adl.exe" -runtime "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.6.0\runtimes\air\win" C:\wamp\www\Imaginus.org\projects\xxx\xxx\xxx-app.xml C:\wamp\www\Imaginus.org\projects\xxx\xxx
(xxx is/was the name of my project)
I fixed the problem when I was looking at the properties and under "Properties>Builders" there is a checkbox for "Missing Builder (com.powerflasher.fdt.core.FlashBuilder)" that I'm guessing was added when I installed FDT PowerFlasher to play with a few days ago. I unchecked the box and approved the "This is an advanced operation..." warning. The compiler reconfigured itself and I tried to launch again. This time FB DID rebuild the .swf and launched as expected.
Thought I'd add this comment just in case other people find this thread and just happen to have the same problem.

How to display rich content with URL in adobe flash builder and flex for mobile apps?

Hi,
In Apple IOS SDK, I used the WebView control to display the rich text with Bullets, different font style, images within the text and the URLs also within the text as HTML content.
Clicking on the URLs automatically opens the respective webpage in Safari.
In Adobe Flash Builder, I don't see any control straight away equivalent to Apple WebView control.
How to implement the same using adobe and flex?

Thanks for your reply, its nice to know its not just me.
the error i got when submitting to the App store where due to native support for IPHONE 5 which is now mandatory (from May 1st), looking around the internet the common soloution seemed to be upgrading to Air 3.7.
The strange erorrs on 3.7 revolve around compiling a standard / production build (fast build works fine)
the error is always the same (snippet shown below):
Error occurred while packaging the application:
Undefined symbols for architecture armv7:
"__ZN7avmplus8Debugger9debugLineEi", referenced from:
__ZN7avmplus9MethodEnv9debugExitEPNS_13CallStackNodeE in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
__ZN7avmplus11BaseExecMgr22debugEnterExitWrapperNEPNS_9MethodEnvEiPj in AOTBuildOutput-4.o
I have completly failed to work out why, but my gut feeling is its something to do with how the mac is compiling the code in standard build and unable to find a library it needs.
cheers

Flash Builder 4.5 cannot run apps

Any idea what to do with that:
Flash Builder cannot locate the required version of Adobe Flash Player. You might need to install the Flash Player or reinstall Flash Builder.
Do you want to try to run your application with the current version?

Try to avoid using MX components in mobile apps.

Can Flash Builder actually make native mobile apps as advertised? Or does it always require AIR?

I'm developing mobile applications on AIR with FlashDevelop. It's a very nice platform to develop on, but AIR is a whopping huge download for mobile, especially over an expensive 3G connection. I'm worried about driving away potential customers with that and I'd love to find something that builds native apps instead. So I was very excited when I went to the Flash Builder page and read:
"Build uncompromised native applications for iOS, Android, and Blackberry Tablet OS..."
However, when I started looking at the documentation, everything always seems to still be based on AIR. And AIR apps are definitively not native.
Does anyone know if I've just missed something and Flash Builder really is able to build native apps? Or is Adobe just blowing smoke and redefining words?
Thanks!

I don't see what the problem with running on a virtual machine would be. Most Android apps run on a virtual machine. Or isn't Dalvik a virtual machine?
However, this is true for Android and not for iOS. On Android, your application is compiled to bytecode and then run on a virtual machine. This has the advantage of allowing you app size to be smaller, since users can download the AIR runtime separately and share it among different apps.
On iOS, it is compiled to machine language. Otherwise, Apple would not allow its distribution on the app store.
Some features are tailored for a specific environment (for example, text input controls). Some features are available on some environments and not on others, and the runtime provides functions to determine whether they are available or not.

Flash builder doesn't load on flash player 11,only version 13

Hi everyone
I developed a swf player on flex builder 4.5, over flex sdk 4.6, using the minimum version required by the sdk(11.1)
But for some reason, the script code only works fine on flash player 13.
What am i missing?
On the flash player 11 this is written by swfobject.js
<object id="CorePlayer" name="CorePlayer" width="0" height="0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="assets/CorePlayer.swf"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="*"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="flashvars" value="endpoint=&hash="></object>
And this is the javascript code using swfobject.js way:
var swfVersionStr = "11.1.0";
 var xiSwfUrlStr = "playerProductInstall.swf";
 var flashvars = {
 endpoint: "",
 hash: ""
 var params = {
 allowscriptaccess: "*",
 allowfullscreen: true,
 wmode: 'transparent'
 var attributes = {
 id: "CorePlayer",
 name: "CorePlayer"
 swfobject.embedSWF("assets/CorePlayer.swf", "flashContent", "0%", "0%", swfVersionStr, xiSwfUrlStr, flashvars, params, attributes);
 swfobject.createCSS("#flashContent");
But doesn't load corePlayer.swf on the networks resources from chrome.
Any ideia about this issue please thanks for your attention!!

Subject: Re: Flash player doesn't load on PBS sites
Hey Mike,
Those folders do exist. I did a clean install, checked to make sure those folders were there, but still get the same results with video on PBS sites. Seems to work everywhere else though. When I right click on the player space, besides the flash player settings and “about” links, there is also an “about JW player” link, if that means anything.

Flash Builder won't launch

Hi. I am trying to troubleshoot something using Flash Builder and it won't launch. I get an error message at startup that there is a log file I should look at, which, of course, I can't really interpret since I don't know too much about how FB functions. This happens in 4.0 and 4.5 as well.

Now I am getting the error code of 16 and to reinstall the product. I reinstalled FB 4.5 and it still won't launch. I do not know what to do and cannot get through to anyone in support and I'm not given the option to chat to anyone at Adobe through the support portal.
Can anyone help me so that Flash Builder will launch again?

Flash Builder doesn't see my ios8 devices

My dev environment was working fine a couple months back, hadn't made any changes and came back to work on a mobile app. Now Flash builder cannot see my ios 8 devices. I think the problem is ios8 and related to provisioning profiles not being installed. Which of course I can't verify because apple has conveniently removed the ability to see the installed profiles... I have regenerated the provisioning profile and know that the device I am attempting to use is listed. Honestly this should have even been needed since it was working fine before.
Also I can manually install the app on the device using itunes, however the device will not open, again implying that the profile is missing which is causing the issue.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. This has been very frustrating-- apple always seems to be making things more difficult for those who don't follow their dotted line.
Also updated my sdk to 4.14.1.
Thank-you,
Jonathan

Flash Builder 4.7 Launch Configuration Issue

In Flash builder 4.7 64 bit I have a project that has 5 or 6 different debug/run configurations.
For instance I have 2 Google Android Configurations that run in the simulator - one is for a Galaxy Tab and one for a Fascinate.
However - when I set the device for the Fascinate configuration to Fascinate - it also changes the device on the Galaxy Tab configuration to the same device.
Is this a bug?

It definitely is a bug and Adobe really needs to get on fixing it. There is a way to work around it, though, which will at least make it so that the bug can be lived with. I posted the answer in response to another thread in the forum. It can be found at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1226494. Hope it helps!

Flash builder doesn't start !

Hi,

I try to reinstall it burt no changes !
any help ?
sorry the solution is here http://forums.adobe.com/message/5202497#5202497

Ok, problem solved.
First I uninstalled the flash builder plugin, and eclipse galileo was still not starting.
Then I uninstalled java (both jre/jdk, v6.20).
Crossing my fingers, I reinstalled jdk and then jre (latest downloaded); and eclipse ran again (pheeeew!).
Finally, I installed flash builder 4 plugin again, it works too (!), and aptana works, ... all is working back again, fine!

autoplay can cause a tremendous amount of problems for site visitors. is it possible that adobe might turn off autoplay?

D/L Firefox 7, Flash 10 doesn't launch. Never had this problem w previous Firefox. I'd see error msg "you need to update your Flash, this video won't play".

The Flash 10 does not launch, Firefox 7 does not recognize this add-on at all. I d/l from Adobe, Flash page:"Installation successful". But Error message still reads "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." I've even temporarily turned off my antivirus before D/L

There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
1.Download the Flash Plugin version setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Flash Builder: Can't export apps to Android 4.3 device

Flash Builder Problem: Can't export apps to my Android device now that it was upgrade to Android 4.3
I just installed Android 4.3 and all the problems started. Everything was working great with 4.2.2.
Is this a know issue? I can't even build a simple Hello World mobile app.
Also some of my previously installed Flex apps will not run on my 4.3 device. Some old apps do
run and this is very confusing as all where created with Flash Builder 4.7 and Air 3.7.
Does Air 3.8 resolve this issue?
My system:
Mac Flash Builder 4.7 with Air 3.7

My Nexus 7 Android 4.3 developer options setting:
1- USB debugging (checked ON)
2- Verify apps over USB (checked ON)
My steps:
1- built a very basic Hello World mobile app in Flash Builder 4.7 with Air 3.7
2- Select Debug As…
3- Flash Builder starts as normal
4- I normally see (in the bottom right hand ) Launching 6% - 57%, then it launches the app on the device.
5- With 4.3 I see the following Launching 6% - 57% - 58% …. 100%
6- Now I get a dialog box that says "The Flash Builder debugger failed to connect …."
I have a Nexus Galaxy phone running 4.2.2, and this same Hello World works perfectly.
