Flash Builder fails to connect to debugger

I've noticed this problem after doing a clean build of all projects (app and libraries) in my workspace. After a clean build, when I launch the application in debug mode, Flash Builder fails to connect to the debugger and is usually stuck with a status of "Launching app: (61%)" for a long time and ultimately reports an error.  However, if I just do a clean build of the app (no dependent libraries), I don't have this problem.

You may be hitting this infamous issue: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-16153 (multithreading problem in Flash Player, supposedly fixed now but not released yet). The more CPUs/cores your computer has, the more often you will encounter this issue.

  • Flash Builder fails to copy over static files in incremental compiles

    During incremental compiles, the Flash Builder fails to copy over certain static files (such as *.js and html files).  I have my own html wrapper and during incremental compiles it fails to copy over this file and also deletes the file from bin-debug/bin-release.  I have to do a clean build instead to ensure these files are copied over.

    Just tried this out on an IIS server with Flash player 10.3.181.14 - it worked.
    Are you using the release version of Flash Builder 4.5 with the release version of Flex SDK (not a prior SDK build)?
    The URL you mentioned gives me a 403 forbidden error.

  • Flash Builder cannot locate the required debugger version of Adobe Flash Player

    Hi,
    The problem seems to be well known for last yesrs and previous Flash builder versions, but I got impression that it is still unresolved for Win 7 64 bits, Flash Builder 4.5.
    I have installed:
    - Flash Builder 4.5
    - windows 7, 64bits
    - Flash Player the latest - 11.3.r300.257
    Please, let me know how to use successfully debugger in Flash Builder 4.5 without below error message:
    "Flash Builder cannot locate the required debugger version of Adobe Flash Player. You might need to install the debugger version of the Flash Player or reinstall Flash Builder"
    Sebar

    This is a known bug for Flash Builder 4.5 and 4.6.
    It will be fixed in next version of Flash Builder.
    The workaround for Flash Builder 4.5 & 4.6 is to download both 32-bit & 64-bit debug player.

  • Eclipse Galileo 3.5 Cocoa 32/64 bit + Flash Builder = fail?

    I thought I'd just bring this to everyone's attention, since it came up as a "gotcha" to me.  If you're downloading the newest version of Eclipse and you want to plug Flash Builder Beta 2 into it, you can only use the Carbon version.
    Any word on what the final release will support?

    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 failed to lunch after installation.

    Adobe Flash Builder can't lunch after installation completed successfully. it says to uninstall and reinstall again. if problem continues, contact adobe support. and it says: "error: 5"
    ~ Then after I uninstalled it. Download it again and reinstall again, same result.  I did this numerous times now and no tech solutions so far!
    What is going on here and how to fix this? 

    don't worry, it works now, after i rebooted the machine.

  • Flash Builder fails to compile

    I'm trying to de-bug a project and using a lot of trace statements. When I debug the file in a browser (Firefox) it often fails to re-compile with the result that the most recent trace statements are ignored. I've tried clearing my recent history but that does not help. I'm using Flash Buider 4.6 on a Mac. Can anyone suggest a solution?

    Sometimes the compiler has trouble picking up changes in dependent libraries, or it doesn't know in which order to build the projects, so you get unexpected results.
    I've just gotten in the habit of doing a clean whenever I actually run the project. I just use the auto-build to check for compiler errors. Also, you probably do not need to clean the whole workspace, just doing a clean on the main application project should do the trick. However, I sometimes have to clean a library project as well, if I make changes to the manifest.xml, or something along those lines.

  • Connect Flash Builder 4 to remote PHP service

    Hello i have seen some videos that explained how easy is connect Data/Services to local PHP server, and then extract the methods instantly. Also binding it to a datagrid, and everything was with wizard, easy and fast.
    I would like to do the same but my problem is that i always work with remote PHP (not localhost), and i don't know how to connect flash builder 4 to my remote PHP class.
    PS: I know how to do it manyally, but then i would not use the power of the wizards.
    ¿Is there any solution?
    thanks

    Would you mind giving me an example?:
    the server path is /httpdocs/
    and my website is for example: http://www.smspubli.com
    I though that maybe the solution is on mount a virtual folder that connects to my httpdocs via FTP (problem is that in mac os it lets you create virtual folders but only in read mode)...
    Please help me, there is no solution in all internet and then only way to use the power of flash builder 4 is connecting to localhost...

  • Flash Builder 4.5 Debugger Problem

    Hey Everyone,
    I spent the better half of the last hour searching for a remedy to my situation but have not found one. I have a problem where in Flash Builder 4.5 I keep losing my debugger version of Flash Player. I download the version here http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html#fp10 and it works again. However, seemingly random it will do it again a couple of days later. So I'm trying to figure out what is causing this or how I can fix it. It is quite annoying to go to jump into a project, debug it and then have to stop everything and download it again. Anyone know how to fix this?
    I am running it on Mac OSX 10.6.7 (latest).
    This is the message I receive when it breaks:
    "Flash Builder cannot locate the required debugger version of Adobe Flash Player. You might need to install the debugger version of the Flash Player or reinstall Flash Builder.  Do you want to try to debug with the current version?"

    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

  • Flash Builder 4 profiler doesn't seem to work with Flash Player 10.0

    Hi,
    I've been trying to get the profiler to work with Flash Builder 4, but when trying to profile on Flash Player 10.1, 11 or 11.1, Flash Builder doesn't connect to the profiled SWF.
    Changing my Flash Player to an old, debug version of 10.0.45 works fine.
    Is this a known bug, or is it just an incompatibility that's fixed in Flash Builder 4.5?
    thanks
    Richard

    I’m profiling just fine in 4.5

  • Flash builder 4 - web services error

    good day,
         I'm trying out flash builder 4 beta connect to a simple web service I've created (gsoap calc example).  using the connect data/service
    tab, I choose the web service and enter the service name and wsdl location (on localhost).  fb4 retrieves the wsdl and shows all the methods
    available but when I click finish I get a terse unresolved model error message any suggestions thanks in advance.  The web service is runs
    on the local host so I don't think its a cross domain issue

  • Flash Builder 4.5 unable to find the debug version of the Flash Player.

    I'm running into the following error:
    C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll
    Flash Builder cannot locate the required debugger version of Adobe Flash Player. You might need to install the debugger version of the Flash Player or reinstall Flash Builder.
    Do you want to try to debug with the current version?
    I have already went to the link the dialog box provided to download the debug versions of the Flash Player.  I have installed both the Plugin and AX versions of the debugger.  Restarted all browers, Flash Builder and rebooted the PC for good measure.  I have spent a good amount of time looking for information on this issue.  All the threads that I found that were related to this issue didn't have a workable soution so far.  Hence I'm starting a thread on this problem.
    I'm running Flash Builder 4.5 on Windows Vista 32-bit.  I have tried using both FireFox 3.6.24 and IE 8.0.6001.
    I started with the Trial version then purchased the license online.  I don't know if that has any bearing.
    Any information to diagnose this problem further would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi emat3d,
    Try to uninstall Flash Player with this Adobe uninstaller, please ensure you close all application which might be using Flash Player. Then try to install your Flash Player debugger again. It solved for me.

  • 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.

  • Flash Builder 4.5 problem

    Hello everybody.
    I'm hoping at least somebody has a similar problem: Flash Builder 4.5 and Windows 7 x64 with Flash Player 11.
    I try to launch a Flex Project in the browser but I get this message:
    C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF64_11_1_102.dll
    Flash Builder cannot locate the required debugger version of Adobe Flash Player. You might need to install the debugger version of the Flash Player or reinstall Flash Builder.
    Do you want to try to debug with the current version?
    Apparently FB 4.5 looks for the 64 bit version of the NPSWF*.dll file, but I searched on my entire computer and I only find the "NPSWF32.dll" file, not the 64 one.
    Note: I have the *DEBUG* version of the Flash Player installed on FireFox 7, but it is indeed the 32 bit version because there ARE NO 64 BIT VERSIONS. Or at least none that I know of.

    I'm on Win7 64 bit with FB 4.5 and FP 11, and debug works fine.
    You may have the 32 bit debug player installed now, but try reinstalling the 32 bit debug player anyway.  If you're desperate, you could try renaming that 64 bit dll, copy a same-named 32 bit dll in it's place, and see what that does.  I used to do something similar to this when the security idiots where I work would push out new versions of FP all the time (although now I forget what I did specifically, I know it worked at the time).
    I'm thinking that re-installing the (32 bit) debug player will restore "something" that's causing your browser to point at the wrong Flash player version.  You could also try switching browsers (try Chrome).  If you're using IE 64 bit...well, don't.  It's not a Flash Builder problem, it's a browser plugin problem.

Maybe you are looking for
