Flash Builder Syntax Highlite question

When I click or finish typing a word ("String" for example), Flash Builder or Eclipse highlights every other instance of it for me.
Effectively making the word unreadable because of my color settings (see image).
What is that lovely feature called and how do I edit or turn it off.
Thank you

Thank you !
I set the ActionScript Occurences to text as "Highlighted" and selected BLACK (to match my background).
The words still flash for a split second when I trigger the Occurences feature, but then the highlight goes black and I can read them.
Thanks again.

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.

Flash Builder J2EE Tomcat question

I've been looking around the documentations on how to configure Flash Builder to work with Tomcat using BlazeDS and have gotten different answers from different places. A few places have mentioned to used the LifeCycle Data Service option, while a few others have mentioned using the BlazeDS option. I am running Flash Builder 4 stand-alone with TomCat6 and BlazeDS 4. Any input on this would be a great help. Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris,
The Burrito Preview installs to a different directory than your existing FB4 installation, by default, so there should be no conflict there. Also, it accepts the same Serial Number you have for FB4 if you purchased FB4 as an individual product.
If you purchased FB4 as part of a CS5 Suite, there will be a site available you can use to obtain a Preview SN for Burrito, but you can still use Burrito in Trial mode until that is available.

New to Flash Builder / Basic Syntax Qestion

I am a seasoned PHP/MySQL programmer that recently has moved over to Flash (about a week ago), more specifically Flash Builder. My Question is after calling data from an external xml file, how can you take the event handler value and store it into a usuable number variable (the xml values are numbers). I have a function and would like to use the retrieved value throughout the document and not just bind it to one location.
protected function retrieveData(event:FlexEvent):void
     getDataResult.token = your_file.getData();
<fx:Declararations>
     <s:CallResponder id="getDataResult"/>
     <your_file:Your_file id="your_file"
                    fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString + '\n' + event.fault.faultDetail)"
                    showBusyCursor="true"/>
     </fx:Declarations>
I have tried various methods unsecessfully to store the value in a usuable number vairable with no success. It will eventuall go in the following among other places
timeline.append( TweenLite.to(meter_fill, .8, {y:"-290"}));

What option do I select for “Application Type.” Web or Desktop? During the project I will have to test so does this matter?
It looks like you are using an older version of Flash Builder. The new version (4.7) allows you build a "ActionScript Mobile Air" project.
I'd recommend updating to get all the latest mobile upgrades.

Using Flash Catalyst to create components in Flash Builder

Hi,
Apologies if this is a obvious question, but I wanted to solve the one way catalyst --> flash builder nightmare (there is no better word in my opinion) and create a number of basic components in catalyst (rather than an entire site), import them into flash builder and use them as components that I can extend, thus hopefully avoiding the need to affect the fxp file and prohibiting the catalyst updates. It also means I can have multiple people working on components in catalyst and assemble them into one app in Flash builder.
My questions are:-
1. Does what I'm proposing make sense?
2. Is it possible to create SWC files from a project imported from an fxp file (generated in catalyst)?
Many thanks for all of you who take the time to indulge a newbie like me :-)
Kind Regards
Jace

Don't worry about the UI components development since there is a poweful GUI library that works
for the J2ME PP. This is LwVCL that is available here: www.lwvcl.com
See the www.lwvcl.com/online-demo.php demo applet to understand what the components set looks like.

Is there any updates or free upgrades for Flash Builder 4.6 ?

Was wondering if there any updates or upgrades for 4.6 Flash Builder.
thanks.

Good question, maybe FB 4.7 would be the big upgrade...

Question on CCloud Flash Builder 4.6 install

Hello,
I curretly have Flash Builder 4.6 installed on my computer - it was originally installed as FB4.5 when I installed MC CS 5.5 -- but the 4.6 version was made available as a separate installation from MC.5 when it became available last November -- so I now have FB 4.6 as a stand-alone install.
My question is this -- do I need to uninstall my stand-alone installation of FB4.6 in order to install MC6 via my CCloud subscription (when it becomes available on May 11) -- or will the FB 4.6 install in CS6 install without errors (in a different location?). The reason I would like to do this is that FB can sometimes be buggy and I have the current install working well. I would like to install the new FB 4.6 and make sure i works and compiles well before uninstalling last December's stand-alone verson of FB 4.6.
Thanks

Thanks David,
Just two questions
1. Is the FB 4.6 version in CC the same as the FB 4.6 I installed in December, or is it a newer release (eg 4.6.2 etc)? If the CC version is the latest would want that
2. If I did keep my current FB4.6 -- would the CC "know" that it should receive the latest updates. I keep reading where CC apps are always up-to-date with latest releases and builds -- so if I have an "old" FB4.6 -- would the CC updater give it the same updates as if I had installed it directly from CC?
Thank you

ActionScript syntax errors are not detection with Flash Builder 4

I encountered a serious bug with Flash Builder 4, it is not showing ActionScript syntax error within an ActionScript class. How shall I fix this.
Best Regards,

Hi Mayank,
Please find the further details below:
Steps to Reproduce the bug:
1. Create a Flex Project (say Test for example)
2. Created a new ActionScript Class ABC.as within the Flex Project.
on typing the following code (and even after saving it)
package123 {
public1234 class ABC {
}blahblah123...
Expeteded Behavior:
ActionScript Editor should report an syntax errors with the following code.
Present Beharvior
no syntax error is detected. This is a regression in Flash Builder 4 as Flex Builder 3 detects ActionScript syntax error instantly (while typing).
Best Regards

Syntax highlight Flash Builder

I don’t know if this is the right place but I have a simple question about Flash Builder.
In the following example, how can I change the color of the "MovieClip"? I want my variable types highlighted.
private var myMc:MovieClip;

Ahm.. Anything imported (SWC/import/etc) will have highlighting if it is a known type.
In your example above you said MovieClip and then proceeded to import MouseEvent.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICKED)); // MouseEvent will be colored.
In FB a "known class" is highlighted. It's an abstract and simple to understand concept. If you use a strict type on a class with a deliberate type set, it will work. If you expect that to interpolate between references, that's not going to happen, nor will code completion.
e.g.:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var a:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); // MovieClip is understood as a strict class, code completion works on var 'a'
var b:Object = a; // b is a reference and can run methods that 'a' can, but code completion will not work.
The exception is going to be Core classes. They will be black.

Unanswered Questions in Flash Builder Forum

Hi Adobe - we have some unanswered questions lingering in the Flash Builder forum.
I am looking for a download link for Flash Builder 4.7 - for the non-creative-cloud version.
OR
Will the creative cloud version work with my Flash Builder 4.7 Premium serial number and should I just install it through the creative cloud process? I do not really want to go creative cloud at the moment - but I do not know if it is the same Flash Builder 4.7 file anyway and as soon as I put in my serial number it will take me off creative cloud.
So... looking for a Flash Builder 4.7 download link for my non creative cloud serial number.
Urgent too - thanks!
Dan

oops, sorry.
here's fb 4.5, https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=flash_builder_php
you should be able to update this version to 4.7

Flash Builder improvements, Syntax coloring, Custom format, Auto close

Hello,
I'm trying Flash Builder 4.7 but I see there is missing features in the Softaware.
I didn't found this important features in the preferences and I think you could add this new features in the new version of FB:
Syntax coloring like Flash Professional: Coloring the AS3 keywords properties and methods like (addChild, x, y, width, height, etc.)
Custom format code. In FB 4.7 there no way to custom the format code in AS3 but you can do it for Java.
AutoClose : Inserts matching bracket, paren, brace or quote
A list of color themes
I hope it will help to improve this software.
Cheers.

I've always had the feel/assumption that Flash is more of a priority to Adobe than Flex / FlashBuilder evere was/is. Try using FlashDevelop with Flash to compile.
If by action we can assume answer then the following I would assume:
Adobe: Don't fix old bugs in FlashBuilder even when it was still named Flex, only seen updates to major / critical bugs
Assumed reasoning for this: Low priority product, not enough resource allocated to product development, no development time assigned to enhancing / correcting the old components, eclipse product enhancement is beyond their skill set, or just simply don't care...... pick one and go with it.
Joe Public: Requested better code colouring, syntax highlighting, language recognition (many years ago)
Adobe: Added new commands to intelisense and informational popups when they arrived but apart from that not much else has been done.
Assumed reasoning for this: Low priority product, not enough resource allocated to product development, no development time assigned to enhancing / correcting the old components, eclipse product enhancement is beyond their skill set, or just simply don't care...... pick one and go with it.
Joe public: Left to hoping Eclipse plugins can help with this

Question regarding Flash builder - mysql

Hi,
I created a webapp with flash builder 4.6, I use AMFPHP for the database part.
If I want to add a person to the db through my app, which has een accent in the name (for example "D'hiet"), it returns an error.
I don't know where to look for this problem. I assume it has something to do with my database settings, but i'm not sure and I cannot seem to find what I need to change to be able to enter names with accents anyway.
Hope someone can help me...
thanks in advance!

For Solaris10 11/06 Release:
"The default copy method that is used when you create a Solaris Flash archive is the cpio utility. Individual file sizes cannot be over 4 Gbytes. If you have large individual files, you can create an archive with the pax copy method. The flarcreate command with the -L pax option uses the pax utility to create an archive without limitations on individual file sizes. Individual file sizes can be greater than 4 Gbytes."
