Flash Builder Link Problem

Whenever I try to access links in Flash Builder such as those on the Start Page, Device Connection Help in Run Configurations or even Find and Download other versions of Flex SDK in the Flex Configuration window it opens up a blank Notepad window with an error "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
Anyone have any idea on how to fix this? I assume it is supposed to open up a web page.

Wow, problem solved. I thought it was weird when I installed Flash Builder 4.7 and it was still happening. Apparently at some point I set Notepad.exe as the default program to open HTML files and did not realize it.
I feel kind of dumb now but as every other program was working (heck, links even worked in Flash Professional) I was so sure it was a Flash Builder problem.
Anyway, I am just glad to have the mystery solved.

Flash Builder Data problem - mysqli_stmt_bind_param ?

Hi All.. hope someone can help.
I've started a very simple application and experiencing a problem regarding creating a new record in a MySQL database via PHP & Zend.
Here's the snippet of AS:
          newLine.buy_price = cursor.current.buy;
          newLine.sell_price = cursor.current.sell;
          linesService.createLines(newLine);
          createLineResult.token = linesService.commit();
Here's the snippet of PHP (all generated by FB):
     public function createLines($item) {
          $stmt = mysqli_prepare($this->connection, "INSERT INTO $this->tablename (supplier, sku, product_name, quantity, buy_price, sell_price) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)");
          $this->throwExceptionOnError();
          mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, 'iisiii', $item->supplier, $item->sku, $item->product_name, $item->quantity, $item->buy_price, $item->sell_price);
          $this->throwExceptionOnError();
          mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
          $this->throwExceptionOnError();
          $autoid = mysqli_stmt_insert_id($stmt);
          mysqli_stmt_free_result($stmt);
          mysqli_close($this->connection);
          return $autoid;
When I run the createLines() function then commit(), I get the following error popup from my application:
MySQL Error - 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'lines (supplier, sku, product_name, quantity, buy_price, sell_price) VALUES (?, ' at line 1

#8 C:\wamp\www\XOM-debug\gateway.php(69): Zend_Amf_Server->handle()
#9 {main}
As as I see it, the parameters are not being replaced by the actual values, so MySQL is freaking out as it's getting question marks in the statements. What I don't understand is how this is happening! Everything is auto-generated by FB. I created a new project from scratch and used only drag & drop from the Data/Services panel to generate a form for data entry and got the same error.
Any ideas!?
Cheers,
Steve

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback!
This feature has been going through a lot of changes with the BlazeDS and Flash Builder builds.
We request you to pick up the BETA2 build of Flash Builder and BlazeDS 4.0.0.10654, hopefully you should see things working fine.
Kindly let us know if you still encounter problems.
Thanks,

Flash Builder Burrito problem (s:MobileApplication)

I got trial and entered my Flash Builder Serial, and everything went well,
but now i see that when creating mobile projects, i get error on
s:MobileApplication, instead i have to use component:MobileApplication
and this on bot Views as well in default package.
Is there any known bugs/errors with entering serial or is this some other problem ?
i think this is connected to my serial but im not sure, before everything worked fine
in burrito but i got this prob AFTER entering serial

Problem solved by turning off Design View (which we never use anyway, useless thing for OO style programming), it's on by default with a new install of Flash builder.
The mobile app looks promising, just waiting on a developer license to see how it goes on an iPad

Flash Builder link for students broken

https://freeairtools.adobe.com/ - will this be fixed or is there a new link?

I work for Indiana University. We have a Campus Agreement with Adobe and I am the Admin for this contract. Flash Builder has been something students can download free of charge, and we've been redirecting them to the link below for some time. Here is an Adobe site that links it: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/edu.html
Can you direct me to the correct location? A functioning link does not appear easy to find.

Migration from Flex 3.3 to Flash Builder 4 problems.

So, I've been working on a Flex Builder 3.3 project for some time now. One of the things I had expected from Flash Builder 4 would be the ability to simply import a fully operational (bug free) 3.3 project. Wrong.
My 3.3 project uses an imported FLVPlayback component (for a number of reasons) and under 3.3 I got no errors using it. Immediately upon importing and opening my 3.3 project in 4.0 I get the following: (any assistance whatsoever would be appreciate to resolve this)

Flash Builder Language Problem

Hi, i download the BETA and the installer run in a strange language, even the program have a different language, my OS is in spanish, can someone explain me how to put FB4 in english?
thanks.

Hi JK994
Out of curiosity, what language did you select in the install language selection dialog?
Here is how you can manually change the language:
1. Exit FB and open the finder and go to the FB insatll directory
2. Control + click on the Gumbo.app and select Show Package contents
3. Navigate to Contents > MacOS
4. Edit Gumbo.ini in TextEdit
5. Change the nl to en_US (it is likely de_DE or something along those lines)
-nl
en_US
6. Save the file and launch FB.
If you still have a problem, add the following under the -vmargs line
-Duser.language=en
-Duser.country=US
-Larry

Library Projects compiled using Flash Builder and ANT have different outputs

Hi Guys.,
I am really having hard time to get something work right with RSL projects in Flex 3.2 SDK. Here is my weird problem.
I have a library projects which has the following settings in Flash Builder
Link Type : External
airglobal.swc
framework.swc
datavisualization.swc
rpc.swc
utilites.swc
applicationupdater.swc
applicationupdater_ui.swc
Link Type: Merged into code
airframework.swc
servicemonitor.swc
Compiler settings

When I compile my library projects I get a MyLibraryproject.swc. The SWC has the following files in it
mx/controls/HTML.png
mx/core/Windows.png
library.swf
Note: airframework.swc and servicemonitor.swc has a many png files and properties files in it. But these properties and png files are not included when compiled in Flash builder.
But when the same project is compiled using ANT compc task, i get all the png and properties files from airframework.swc and servicemonitor.swc files into my library project SWC file.
Here is the ANT version which is used to compile the library project

Any insights is greatly appreciated.!

#1, If it compiles then you have no issue. There's no reason at this point not to use 4.6. You should bundle a captive runtime to assure the users computer won't need to have AIR installed at all.
#2, Papervision is old. Use the Stage3D and/or a wrapper framework. As far as the generic "If I download lots of data will it take the user more time to load it", well, of course. Just don't make the loading experience painful. Entertain them while they way or find ways of displaying data sooner than later. If it's desirable on the web has more to do with the context of the app and the device displaying it. In other words, a phone user would find it easy but obviously not a desktop user.
#3, Definitely referring you to Google on that one.
#4, Size always matters, it's common sense. The more you process the harder it is. While I haven't done AR I've used the Microsoft Kinect SDK and ANE and tracking was extremely fast but limited. From what I've seen and your basic built in location and direction hardware on any mobile device you shouldn't have much trouble. Depends on what you're doing.
#5, This discussion would be way too large for a forum. You'd need to consult a firm experienced in AR development.
#6, "Applications using the commercial license do not have to provide source code, but must pay a licensing fee. Contact ARToolworks at [email protected] for more information." They will base your price on your product, there is no single price.
#7, The models could be huge and elaborate or tiny and simple which changes the answer. Consult the answer in #4. Ultimately most people are getting on fast networks with mobile and excessively fast on desktop/wifi. Size matters a lot less than 3 years ago.
#8, Depends on what you're doing. You have to explain it.

"not a valid location for linked resource" in Flash Builder 4.7

Hi,
I'm constantly running into the problem, that Flash Builder simply won't let one create a linked resource that points to a location on the same drive?
I'm getting the infamous
"...not a valid location for linked resource..."
error message.
I'm using FB 4.7 with Flash Professional CC.
Is that supposed to work at all?
I've 1 workspace where I've successfully created a linked resouce - but it fails for all others. Even when I'm setting up a new WS.
And it's totally unclear to me why it had worked there but not in all others that I'm trying to create.

Installing Flex SDK into Flash Builder 4.7 problems

Hi,
Im completely new to Flash Builder, today I have installed Flash Builder 4.7 & Flash CS6 from Creative Cloud for my son to start to learn game programming (with my help), I have used simple coding in web design however this terminology is new to me.
I bought my son the latest 'Foundation Game Design with ActionScript 3.0' book on recommendation but it was written when FB was version 4.5 so im guessing this might be the problem.
The book is very easy to follow but have hit problems at the beginning of the tutorials, the book talks about Flex SDK but it seems that FB 4.7 uses AIR SDK ?
So the first project called HelloWorld, we got up to:
Got an exclamation mark which said
'The import flash.display.Sprite is not used
locally'
Continuing with the rest of the project the exclamation mark disappeared:
However on selecting run- Debug we got a blank Flash Player window ('generate HTML wrapper file' was deselected)
So either we've done something wrong, or the book and FB version are not compatible?
Any advice would be great!
Thank you
Latest ...
I thought that installing Flex SDK may solve the problem but after following instructions I have the error message, see image below. Really stumped now!

Sorry, if I went a little overboard. After re-reading your post, perhaps I should back up a little.
First, there are little things that Flash Builder (FB) will complain about. Having extra import statements in your code doesn't hurt anything. If I'm trying different solutions and then commenting out the code, the import statements will hang around, FB will complain, but just ignore it. If you see a little icon on the left edge of your code editor and its a red circle with an X in it, then that is something that will have to be fixed.
When you create an app in FB or Flash you can choose to create a web app which means it will run in a browser window. The project can optionally create an HTML wrapper, or web page that will load your app. In Flash Pro you can choose File->Publish Settings and there will be a checkbox on the left to publish a HTML wrapper. In FB, you can right click your project in the Package Explorer, select Properties at the bottom, select the ActionScript Compiler, and down at the bottom there will be a checkbox to create a HTML wrapper.
If you're just learning Flash Builder, then the FlexSDK 4.6 and the AIR SDK 3.1 that comes with it should be fine. You mentioned Apache SDK and I'd recently been working with that so I ended up getting side-tracked.
Getting an AIRSDK to work with when build ActionScript projects is easy. Just go to the adobe site, type AIR SDK in the search box, and you should find a page that will let you downloaded the latest version. There's also a page to let you download the latest AIR runtime, and if you were just going to run AIR apps and not build them, then that's all you would need. As a developer you'll want to install the runtime from the downloaded .exe file. With the SDK, after downloading it, installing it is easy. Just create a new folder an unzip the SDK into it, then place it somewhere easy to find. I put all my SDK's in their own directory right off the c: drive. So I have c:\AIRSDK_3.5.0.880 and c:\AIRSDK_3.7.0.1530. I use very descriptive folder names so I always know which SDK's I have to work from.
To use the SDK in Flash Pro select Help -> Manage AIR SDK, hit the plus button and add the folder you created. Now when you've opened a Flash project, you go to File->Publish Settings and select the combo box at the top, you'll see options like 'AIR 3.7.0.1530 for Android' in the list that reflect the SDK's you've added.
Generally with FB you'll be using a FlexSDK, or perhaps a FlexSDK overlaid with a newer version of AIRSDK. Overlaid basically means you copied the contents of the AIR SDK into the Flex Folder. The article I mentioned above will give you all the details on creating those. For instance, I downloaded the Apache Flex installer, installed it, then created an empty folder called c:\ApacheFlexSDK_4.9.1, launched the Apache installer, gave it the new empty folder I'd created, selected all the download options, and let it all download. If it launches a popup box or a security warning, you can allow it, and it will continue. Once you have the SDK and you want to use it with a project in FB, just right click the project, select Properties, selected that Compiler tab again, and up in the right corner you'll see 'Manage SDK's...'. Hit that link, add your new SDK to the list and give it a descriptive name, then selected the checkbox beside it to set it up as your default. If you do this, then all your projects set to use the default will automatically switch to it and rebuild. So if you want a project to stay with a specific SDK then select that option in your Compiler tab, and then you could use the combo box to select your new added SDK.
When I started with FB I think I spent the first 2 days going round and round with project settings and options until I got them all figured out.
When I develop, I usually have my browser open and I have bookmarks and favorites to let me quickly get to all the pages I use most often. Here are a few of them:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/index.html <---- The API reference. In the packages window check out 'Top Level' at the top and Language Elements near the bottom. I think I have this page open in one or more tabs almost every day.

Ok, I think I went a little overboard again.

Flash debugger/ flash builder problem

I'm having a problem getting the debugger in Flash builder to work.
Also, I'm unfamiliar with the ACtiveX settings etc.
thanks

Hi, now since you need the debugger for Flash Builder 4, following are two links that have the info. Since I am not familiar with the programs you use, I didn't want to give you a link and then it may be the wrong one. I thot you would be better able than I to decide which site you needed to look at.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=flash%20player%20debugger%20f or%20flash%20builder%204
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=flash%20player%2010%20debugge r
I hope these are what you need. Debuggers & Builds and CS5 etc. are over my head:-) Not too much help with those programs.
See what you think, and if that isn't helpful, I'll search again. (I usually find what I'm looking for as long as I know what that is:-)
Thanks,

Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 broken download link

Sad that there is no simple reporting mechanism avaialble to report simple problems like this nor appears to be proactive monitoring for problems like this. The Adobe Flash Builder download button does nothing after making a selection from the combobox. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=flash_builder&loc=en_gb
The link was tried on FF13 and Chrome.

Found to be platform specific. Occurs on Linux only AFAIK. Was able to download on a Windows machine with FF13.

Problem with working in Flash Builder 4

Hi there,
I am working on the develepment of a new kind of website in 3D.
For this I am using Flash Builder 4 AS3 Project and the 3D program Away3D.
The problem is that I created a SWF in one AS3 project called PoloSWF.
In another project I created a plane with the SWF as material.
For this I copied PoloSWF from the original bin release directory and pasted it in the assets folder of the plane project.
When running the plane project, the SWF is not visible.
Any idea where the bug is?

I tried it in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. I was able to get the Akamai download manager but that was all I could download. Currently with firefox the download is stuck at waiting and will not continue any further.

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.

Problem setting up Flash Builder to build an ANE

I am a native android developer trying to build an Air Native Extension for some flash developers. I don't know much of anything about flash, flex, AS, or other adobe technologies. The setup of Flash Builder is driving me insane. I followed the advice in Developing and using Adobe AIR native extensions for Android devices | Adobe Developer Connection the best I could (matching SDK versions even if they are old) but I am getting the following error when building the ANESampleTest (Flex Mobile AIR) project:
Namespace 3.6 in the application descriptor file should be equal or higher than the minimum version 13.0 required by the Flex SDK
Again, I am NOT an adobe developer. The version 3.6 vs 13.0 is a pretty weird comparison, but I guess 3.6<13.0 and I'm guessing someone in marketing somewhere decided to renumber things. At this point I'm so disoriented by the install, sdk update, and sdk 'overlay' that I have no idea what component is popping this error or where to look for the problem.
What does this error mean and what is the next step toward resolving it? Please treat me like a total noob because I do not know about the difference between flash/flex/air and what their respective versions are.
Thanks!
<moved from downloading,installing, setting up - kglad>

The fix: Change the namespace on the second line of <project root>/src/ANESampleTest-app.xml
FROM: <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.6">
TO: <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/13.0">
A brief and incomplete background:
The file <project root>/src/ANESampleTest-app.xml is the ‘application descriptor file’. When using the project files downloaded with the tutorial (that contained the 3.6 reference), the builder did not find this compatible with the configuration on my computer (a trial version I installed today - 5/3/2014 - and patched according to the tutorial). I never did figure out how to lookup valid namespaces and am still confused about how all the sdk’s relate to each other. I stumbled upon this solution by creating a fresh new project and found that the namespace specified by the new project wizard was “13.0” on this line of this file.
