Flash Builder for PHP 4.5.1

So I own Flash Builder 4.5 and upgraded to Flash Builder for PHP 4.5. Yesterday Adobe released an update for Flash Builder 4.5.1 which includes support for delpying for iOS devices.
So my question is how soon is Zend going to provide and update to Flash Builder for PHP? Past experience tells me it is going to take a while. Can any Adobe/Zend engineers confirm a time line when the upgrade will happen?
Also if upgrade is not a possibility, is there a Zend PDT Plugin for Adobe Flash Builder 4.5?

Hello there,
Flash Builder for PHP is expected to be released very soon, I can confirm it's a matter of week or two. I suggest to wait until the official release is out.
Best regards,
Roy

How can I use flash builder for php?

Hello! I saw a flash banner maker website http://ideal-banners.com/. My question that how can I use a flash builder for php?

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your two helpful replies. The article by V. Brossier looks very useful, and I managed to use SDK 3.3 with FB. But I had misdiagnosed my problem. The problem was that the compiler was targetting Flash Player 9 instead of 10. I've managed to fix that.
Thanks again,

Dreamweaver and Flash Builder for PHP

I have created a php database in Dreamweaver, can this database be imported or converted to Flash Builder for PHP?

MySQL has nothing to do with Dreamweaver or any other development software. It's a DBMS (which stands for DataBase Management System). More simply, it's a way to store data. Other DBMS are PostgreSQL, Oracle, and so on..., as mentionned above.
To use your existing MySQL database with FlashBuilder for PHP, simply specify where you store your PHP services on your computer when you create your project. Then FB will attempt to connect to MySQL with the help of your PHP code.
And you'll be able to retrieve your data in the brand new Spark Datagrids !
Hope it'll help.
Julien.

How to use Flash Builder for Eclipse Luna ( is it possible??)

How to use Flash Builder for Eclipse Luna ( is it possible??)

Yes. I have Flash Builder 4.6 and 4.7 running in different Eclipse Luna installs.
More details at http://forums.adobe.com/message/4527443
On Mac, I had to have the 32bit version of Luna for 4.6, and the 64bit version of Luna for 4.7 (and I recently started using 4.7 with Eclipse Mars).
For 4.6 you need to first download Eclipse 3.6 and install the Flash Builder 4.6 plugin to that Eclipse install. For 4.7 you need to download Eclipse 3.7 and install the plugin to that Eclipse install. Once it's installed in the 3.x version, you can then copy the fb*.link files from the Eclipse 3.x dropins folders into your Eclipse Luna's dropin folder.
There is an issue where something in Flash Builder 4.7 won't work right when using it as a plugin, not sure but it might be something with building ANEs.

Flash Builder resets php include_path?

Hi,
using the data services of flash builder 4, I run into the following problem:
we gathered all our include directories in one php file, that sets the include_path (ini_set('include_path')). The service classes include that file as a very first statement so the include_path points to several directories spread over the project, that contain further code.
the benefit of this is that we do not need to bother about any directory trees when putting together our project. Due to the complexity of the project this still seems to be a good idea...but nevertheless...
Now when I call a service via the Fb context menu in order to configure the returned data types I always get error messages saying some files could not be found. The error message dumps the include_path var as well and for some reasons all it contains at that point are the pathes to MAMP/php and the ZendFramework/library path.
I dumped the include_path at several locations to check. Looks fine in the services when I dump right behind the include statement for the paths. But in any other class/function it seems to be reset.
Calling the services over amfphp browser seems to work fine.
I might be just pretty blind, so please make me see
THX!

Not sure what could be the cause of this failure, we will need you complete setup to reproduce, if it is Ok with you.
If you would like do debug what could be the cause, let me explain how the amf calls are made from Flash Builder.
You pointed out that Flash Builder is changing the include_path, but that cannot be done by Flash Builder directly.
The way it works is that whenever you try using PHP Service from the Data Service view, Flash Builder first installs Zend Framework on your server if it is not present already. Then it puts gateway.php and amf_config.ini files in the output folder of the flex project on your server.
Now this gateway.php actually becomes the endpoint to make amf requests, and can be used by Flash Builder or any other client like a Flex application running on Flash player.
The gateway.php file does contain a modification of include_path, where it adds the Zend library in the path, but it does not remove anything.
You make try to dump the path in gateway.php file to debug the cause of this issue.
Thanks,

Flash Builder Mobile PHP Publishing

I have zend server community edition running on my Mac. I have created a Flex Mobile and PHP Project using localhost as the Root URL and htdocs as the Web Root. After that, I have connected to a couple of php dataservices to my SQL database in Zend and added my components to view and change the data.
When I test the app locally, everything runs perfectly, which is awesome. However, the time has come to publish to my mobile phone and I would like to connect the app to a mirrored database on my web server so that I may use it online rather than local and this is where I cannot get it to work. I assume I would have to change the php database connection properties, but no luck.
Does anyone know what settings/code I must adjust in order to get my app to talk to my sql database hosted online?

Hello Skant,
I did get Flash Builder working using a remote database, but used a HTTPService request instead on cofiguring Zend. It looked like this:
<s:HTTPService id="saveHole1Score" url="http://yourdomain.com/your.php" useProxy="false" method="POST">
                              <s:request xmlns="">
                  <scorecard_id>{scorecard_id.text}</scorecard_id>
                  <hole1post>{hole1post.text}</hole1post>
             </s:request>
</s:HTTPService>
However, I eventually gave up on Flash Builder as a method to build my mobile app because the published version for iOS of my app was 29MB, which is too large to download over the cellular network. This was problematice for the type of app I was creating. Plus with the announcement of the lack of ongoing support for Flash Builder was the cherry on top. I have since switched to HTML5 and Phonegap to publish my apps. So far it has made a better product and significantly lighter.
Good Luck with your app.

Flash Builder for education question

I've submitted that form for a free non-commercial version of Flash Builder and they never sent me an email or anything and it's already 2 weeks. Could it be caused by me instead of scanning the letterhead cropping it out of a school report PDF (sorry) ? Does anyone know who to email or can I reapply?

Flash is a great option for building mobile games. However, it does require a lot of leg work to get everything working. You can use supporting libraries like Starling to get things moving faster. For highly optimized games, we get around 25fps+ on mid range devices. If you are looking for ease of use, Flash is not a good option. I'd recommend looking at other programs like Unity.

Creating .as class in Flash Builder for movieclip stored in SWC

I need to use movieclips created in Flash Professional CC in my Flash Builder project. I have exported my .fla file as an .swc and included it in my Flash Builder project. The movieclips for which I DON'T need a custom .as class import without a problem. But the movieclips that need to be linked to an .as class don't appear. I have tried the following, using my ThoughtBubble movieclip as an example:
1) Giving the .fla with the ThoughtBubble movieclip access to ThoughtBubble.as so that the movieclip doesn't create a dummy ThoughtBubble.as file.
2) Denying the .fla access to ThoughtBubble.as so that the movieclip is forced to create a dummy ThoughtBubble.as class.
Either way, the ThoughtBubble movieclip does not appear in the list of movieclips in my swc when imported into my Flash Builder project.
3) I also tried removing my ThoughtBubble.as file from my FlashBuilder project and THEN importing the swc. The ThoughtBubble movieclip does show up in the list of swc assets--BUT when I try to create a ThoughtBubble.as file, I get the following error: "ThoughtBubble.swc already exists."
What am I doing wrong? How can I link my ThoughtBubble movieclip with ThoughtBubble.as in Flash Builder?
Here is a screenshot of my fla publish settings:
And a screenshot of my ThoughtBubble movieclip properties:
Thanks in advance!

flex is not good for games because of performance compared to pure as3

Flash Professional vs. Flash Builder for Starling

For games is there any difference in using Starling in Flash and Flash Builder? I’ve used both but I would prefer to use Flash Professional because it prevents me from bouncing in and out of Flash Professional and Flash Builder. What are the advantages of using Flash Builder over Flash Professional, if any? Performance? If I use Flash Professional I will use sprite sheets and particle effects, etc., and will use object oriented techniques, with no code in the frames.

You should be able to use either one just fine. The differences (and your decision) comes down to the sort of editor you are most comfortable with. Flash Builder is much more code-oriented, of course but does nothing that cannot be accomplished using Flash Pro (aside from Flex, that is).

Adobe has abandoned us. Who will help us about compilation problems with Flash Builder for mobile?

Which is the correct forum???

If you are having issues with the Flash Player, there is a forum dedicated to it that would be a more suitable place for discussions about it...

Help setting up Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP

I am looking for a concise set of steps for setting up ALL requirements for running Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP. I have been fighting for three days to get the TestDrive example up and running, with no success. At every step of the way I have encountered problems. I fought for a day and a half with MySQL. Then I fought for another day with PHP (Liip). Then I fought for another day with Zend. All along the way I have fought problems with Flash Builder and Flash Builder for PHP. I've had to relearn all of my UNIX shell commands (it's been a few years). I've tried using a remote server at 000webhost.com. I've tried using an old laptop for a server. I finally ended up trying to do it all on my main laptop. I have completely given up and am ready to dump my project altogether. Forget my students. They'll just have to live without what would have been a fantastic new way of learning.
HELP!!!

Hi There,
I do not have a 'concise' answer for you - in fact I am not using FB 4.5 for PHP. I started using FB 4 around 8 months ago. I installed a 'WAMP' thing, called 'EasyPHP'. That actually went pretty smoothly. I did the whole thing on my personal laptop running Windows 7. I 'hooked up' FB to the PHP side using the built in data services wizards and such, as I imagine you are trying to do. I too had to 'fight' a bit, but found most of the answers scattered around the Internet. Had to tweak a few settings here and there in various files, and viola, it worked.
I have resisted upgrading to 4.5, and especially the 4.5 "for" PHP, only becuase of the great expense. It seems like a lot of money to pay for 'integrated, round-trip debugging'. I already can debug the PHP side 'independently' of the FB side (from inside the Eclipse+PHP plugin free toolset), which, for most SQL situations is good enough. I simply set up a 'test page' in PHP and use that to 'call' the various functions I write.
On the FB side, I gave up on using the 'built in data services wizard thingies' because they simply could not get the data-type mappings correct between the two sides. Also, the "value objects" things (really just a fancy data-object class definition) seeme overly complex and inflexible, i.e., they would re-code themselves after every change I made to the PHP side. I prefer a more 'lean' approach, and one that I control 100%. So far I am able to do everything I need using my own 'value objects' (simple classes).
So...as you can see, I may not be able to help much, but, if you can explain some of the details of what is failing, maybe I can provide a bit of assistance. From what I understand, the big difference between 4.5 and 4.0, at least on the PHP side, is that the 'introspector' is a bit more accurate now and of couse there is the 'round-trip' debugging and 'awareness of each other's objects/definitions' while in PHP or FB.
Finally, as best I can tell, after 8 months of 'experimenting' with Flex and PHP, there are simply not many people doing it, or, at least not that many doing it that participate on this forum and who have practical experience, especially with the more 'recent' releases, i.e., 4.0, 4.5. I would encourage you to scan the rest of the Internet...there *is* knowledge out there...but it can difficult and slow to get.

Deletion of Flash Builder 4.5 when installing Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP

There is a very serious error with the Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP installer (from http://static.zend.com/topics/Flash-Builder-for-PHP-4.5.0-Release-Notes.txt ):
If Flash Builder 4.5 (not PHP) is already installed on the machine, and the
product (Flash Builder for PHP 4.5) is then installed in a different location,
the user gets the "FB is installed" dialog.
After clicking OK, the installation rolls back and removes both Flash Builder
and Flash Builder for PHP.
My questions:
Can Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP be installed in the same location without deleting Flash Builder 4.5? If so, please define "location."
Is there a workaround for installing both flavors of Flash Builder 4.5 and avoiding the deletion issue described above?
Can a single do-it-all version of Flash Builder 4.5 be installed that combines the SDKs and features of both flavors of the Flash Builder 4.5 product?

Hi Mike,
Could you please send the following log files so we identify the exact problem and hopefully help you quickly:
Windows:
1.       <path_to_adobe_fbphp>/_Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP.log
2.       Logs located under C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installer\
Max OSX:
