Flash Builder's debugger is hanging my browser!

Hi everyone!
I've been running into a situation where every time I try to debug my app, in Flash Builder my browser hangs!
I've tried installing both Flash Player debuggers I found on the Adobe site: The Windows Flash Player ActiveX control content debugger for Internet Explorer and Netscape compatible browsers.
Both IE and Mozilla freeze when my app tries to make a connection back to my local server (localhost), which stops either browser from connecting to Flash Builder. Google Chrome simply cannot install the Flash Player debugger plugin.
I can't seem to get around this. There seems to be a bug in the Flash Player debugger!!
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I read from http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-16153 that the installed Flash Player is the wrong version. And reinstalling a debugger version of Flash Player 9 would solve it. But what if I need the Flash Player 10? Then what?
Thanks.
I'm working with:
Flash Builder 4
Flash Player 10.3
Mozilla 4.0 Beta 7
Internet Explorer 8.0.6

I think I can help because I had the same problem and I spent a lot of hours trying to fix the problem. I tried several solutions but none of them worked. The problem is that the Flash Player in the browser hasn't debugging capabilities. The link mention earlier, http://flashplayerversion.com/, is a really good one to check if your browser's Flash Player has this feature.
The solution for IE and Firefox can be found from this link http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html.
Make sure you download:
Download the Windows Flash Player 10.1 ActiveX control content debugger (for IE) (EXE, 2.93 MB)
Download the Windows Flash Player 10.1 Plugin content debugger (for Netscape-compatible browsers) (EXE, 2.90 MB)
The first link will install debugger player for your IE and the second one for your Firefox. I think it's a bit misleading to mention "Netscape" nowadays, it should be switched to Firefox.
Because Chrome has the Flash Player integrated (which is GREAT) it does, however, cause more problems to get a debugger player for it. However, as long as I have at least one browser that makes debugging in Flash Builder function -- I'm happy!
One last thing, in Flash Builder make sure your web browser in Preferences is one that has a debugging supported browser. Go to Window > Preferences and choose General > Web Browser. Make sure the browser is either IE or Firefox. I also tried with Opera (v. 10.63) and it had the debugged version of Flash Player. So, Google just needs to do add a little improvement that developers can have a debugged player and everything is perfect.
I hope this helps!

Flash Builder 4 - Debugger fails to connect

I've looked at the various other threads but no luck so far.
I'm using Flash Builder 4 and the Flex API 4 and until yesterday all was well - i.e. I could run my app in debug mode. Somehow today things stopped working. Not sure why - I didn't tweak anything in Flash Builder's options. When launching any app (most complicated to the simplest) I get a status bar telling me
launching: waiting for Adobe Flash Player to connect to debugger
that always gets stuck at 57%. Then after a few minutes I get
Failed to connect; session timed out.
Ensure that:
1. You compiled your Flash application with debugging on.
2. You are running the debugger version of Flash Player.
I'm using Chrome on Windows 7. I really need to debug.
thank you for any help.

Flash Builder 4.5.1 for Mac hanging/crashing during startup "Loading Workbench"

Hello,
I'm having ongoing trouble with Flash Builder 4.5.1 hanging/crashing during startup.
Sometimes the following Terminal command fixes the issue:
cd ~/Documents/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.5/cascaded/308971/configuration/.settings
rm org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs
However this isn't a silver bullet solution, and sometimes the only way is to uninstall and reinstall FB4.5.
But this is a major hassle, especially after 3 or 4 times!
I am running Mac OS X 10.7 and have updated to FB 4.5.1 Premium and also installed Subversion/Subclipse as well as the BlackBerry PlayBook SDK.
Problems seem to occur when working in SVN projects.
I have also noticed that the Delete and Arrow keys and Right Click fails to work sometimes also.
Is there a way to reset / clear FB 4.5 Prefs / Workbench?
Thanks,
David Douglas

Delete the Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 folder from your Documents (assuming you don't have anything valuable in there). That seemed to work for me, as I don't keep my projects in there but there were some temp files that were breaking it. You'll probably have to re-inport your projects.
Adobe, I'm getting very sick of your (expensive) products wasting my time.

Flash Builder 4.5, debugger hanging at 57% need a solutions

I have been reviewing "All" the web solutions to my problem and have not found a solution. I have rebuild my work space so many times I can do it in my sleep. I have installed/uninstalled the flash player (debug version) again so many time I can do it in my sleep. I have rebooted and rebooted so many times I can tell how long it takes down to the second when my system will be available.
I am not an ID10T, yet I am starting to feel like one.
Here is my environment:
Windows (wishing it was an apple)
Browser(s): FireFox version 6
Flash Builder version 4.5
Flash player (latest debug version)
Attached snapshot from FlashPlayerVersion.com
As you can see from the image I have a debug version installed and the debugger options is disabled, this makes no sense to me and real assistance is appreciated.
Thank you
Harold
Just because one guy can make a baby in 9 months, doesn't mean 9 guys can do it in 1 --> Debug takes time not just bodies.

This is what I did and it worked fine, now I am really confused. Your
continued assistance is appreciated.

Flash Builder hangs a lot

Guys, seriously, Flash Builders hangs in all our machines like 4-5 times a day. If you press CTRL+F2 to terminate the debugging session, it hangs 1 in 2. I think that you have serious problems with the multithreading.
Debugging is hellish, more or less 10% of the times it can't connect with the debugger and gets stuck in the 57% (waiting to connect).
The bridge between the debugger and the flash player is weak! For instance, If you close the browser before the connection with the debugger, flash builder doesnt realize it and hangs (not responding...)
Why do you have so many problems with the Flash Player connection??? You need to drop the current approach and choose something more solid!
In overall, the flash builder experience is poor.
I still remember the bug:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-16153
But you didn't launch a new flex in order to solve it. We waited for Flash Builder to come. And it is still weak!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mike Morearty has let??? Who is working in Flash Builder? Please, make it rock solid!!!
And, by the way, I love Flex 4. The spark skinning. The states syntax. The two-way binding. It is incredible! You have improved over the Microsoft work in WPF. It is simpler and more elegant. Please, repair Flash Builder.

My Flash Builder 4 (Version 4.0.1 build 277662) also hangs (1-2 times per day).   It can hang randomly, but often I think it's related to the Content Assist window getting stuck.
I run it on Windows 2003 Server SP2 with 1.5GB RAM.     I generally launch apps to IIS 6 and use IE7 for the browser.
My only recovery is to kill the Flashbuilder task and start it up again.     I'm pretty much in the "save and save often" mode nowadays.    Especially when I'm doing anything that might bring up the Content Assist window.
I've included a jstack trace.
Thanks.

Flash Builder 4: Installation hangs

Hi,
just downloaded Flash Builder 4 and try to install, but installation hangs on at "Installing..." screen. What can cause the problem?
I use Windows XP SP3.

Where did you extract your installer to? There's a known bug where a subcomponent hangs when installing on windows when the path contains a leading space https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-26442.

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 Player Debugger 11.5 wont install for Flash Builder 4.6

I've tried installing the Flash Player Debugger 11.5 but I can't find where it's installing and Flash Builder 4.6 will only use Flash Player Debugger 11.2 whenever I test. And after installing FB 4.7, images in my swf are missing when testing in FB 4.7 and FB 4.6. Everything worked fine right up to installing FB 4.7 and AIR 3.6.
Any help?

Thanks for your answer...

Flash Builder debugger times out

I've upgraded our adobe products, using flash builder for first time as opposed to eclipse plug in.
When using debug mode, and a fault occurs, I have approximately one minute to view the variables before the program terminates and the variable information disappears. How can I increase this time, preferably infinite?
Is this a problem with the debugger?

Are you also embedding that same file somewhere in your application?
If so then possibly this bug: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-27146

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.

Bei der Vorschau in Browser wird der Flash Builder geöffnet

Hallo zusammen
Ich möchte in der Bridge (CS6) eine Webgalerie erstellen. Wenn ich die Vorschau in Browser aktiviere, sehe ich die Galerie nicht in Safarie mit den getroffenen einstellungen, sondern es wird der Flash Builder geöffnet.
Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen? Als Standardbrowser ist Safari eingestellt.
Besten Dank für eure Unterstützung.

Ich weiss nicht, ob ich Dich jetzt so recht verstehe. Aber
wenn Du deinen Film

Ist es das was Du wolltest?

I cannot install flash builder 4.6. Installation hangs while unpacking files

Below is the information from the event viewer. I am using Windows XP SP3. I don't know, but I wonder if it has something to do with our roaming profiles. The place it seems to be trying to unpack to is \\EssexHQVM\Desktops$\user.name\Desktop\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 Installer, which has a special character in it. I can't find any way to have the file unpack to another location, it doesn't prompt for a location.

So, the best solution that I have come up with, which is a poor solution, is to run the .exe file on a machine that is not connected to our network and wait for the files to unpack. Then copy the files to a thumb drive and move them to the computer that I work from. I can then install Flash builder with no problem.
This is a kludgy work around that ought not be. How hard is it to have the unpacking routine prompt for a location? That would allow me to give it a location to unpack that would not cause a hang up. Or, failing that, why not unpack in the same location as the file that is doing the unpacking? Then I could simply place the file in a good location and let it run.

Flash Builder 4.5 Hangs When Loading Large Projects

I recently upgraded from Flash Builder 4.0 to Flash builder 4.5. I am running the 32 bit version of Eclipse Helios on windows 7, 64 bit. I have installed the latest 32 bit Java build, jdk1.6.0_25
Smaller projects and libraries appear to build and run fine. However when I attempt to load my main application, which is quite large, Eclipse Hangs for several minutes. Occasionally it will return after some time, but as soon as I move the mouse cursor again it hangs again. The last attempt had 1.8 Gigs of memory allocated to the eclipse process before I killed it.
Some other things I have noticed.
*) 4.5 does appear to be more sluggish for me generally than 4.0 for the demo apps I have built to test weather or not the install is working
*) If I do not attempt to actually open any files, I am able to clean the project and have it produce an executable
*) I have "build automatically" turned off, the problem does not seem to be initiated by the build. The problem seems to be something to do with loading large mxml files or files which include large mxml files.
*) The log files only complain about Eclipse being closed improperly (from me killing it aftter a prolonged hang) and about a collision with the ctrl+shift+G key combination
*) I have reverted to the original 4.0 plugin and the project still builds fine
*) Opening the stand alone flash builder 4.5 and pointing it at the same projects that work in 4.0 yields the same hanging symptoms as the 4.5 plugin version
*) I have juiced up my Eclipse memory settings and confirmed that they work quite well for my 4.0 build. My Eclipse.ini looks like:
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.1.R36x_v20100810

-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms1024m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:PermSize=256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
I am really interested in several of of the new 4.5 features. Any comments / suggestions welcome. I am out of ways I know how to trouble shoot this short of rebuilding my app up from scratch by adding components one at a time, which would take a very long time.
If it would be at all helpful, I would be happy to drop by the San Francisco office with my laptop to trouble-shoot this
-Chris.

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.

Launching Flash Builder 4 Help takes 20 secs (ACH or browser)

We have 5 flex developers on our team who are all running into the same issue with the dynamic help:
1) Hit F1 (display help section)
2) Select a class (ArrayList for example)
3) Click on the Related API (mx.collections.ArrayList) in the help section.
4) It then take 15-20 seconds for the page to display in Adobe Community Help which is already running.
5) If I switch the preferences to 'Open Help in Browser' it take the same amount of time for the webpage to open.
There's no CPU load during this waiting time. This is really hitting our productivity.
Any ideas?

Hi: have you guys downloaded the local help for Flash Builder yet? That should actually boost performance, even for online search/browsing. Here's why: when you download the local Help content, the Help system also downloads an intermediary XML file that we use to resolve context-sensitivity and a few other functions. Having this file cached locally should improve launch times for both the AIR app and the browser.
To be sure, open up the Community Help AIR app and check Preferences:
Windows: CTRL+ K or check under the Edit menu
Mac: Cmd + comma or check under Adobe Help > Preferences
Then click on the Local Content tab -- you should see the various package titles available for download with a status message (pending download, current, etc.).
We are working on an update so that we can deliver the intermediary XML file by default when a user opens the app, instead of delivering it via the content download. That fix should be coming out soon.

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,
eidnolb
