Flash Builder won't recompile or Clean Project

This is the most obnoxious error and it wastes incredible amounts of time every day.
After getting a compile error in a Flash Professional / Flash Builer Project, the thing will refuse to update the swf with any new changes to the code. Cleaning the project is irrelevent. Even added trace statements don't show up. Sometimes restarting Builder will help, sometimes it wont, but since this happens every few errors or so, it is impossible to manage this way.
The thing just continues to launch an old version of the swf no matter how much you've changed the code.
Also if you try to report bugs in Adobe for Flash Builder it tells you to click a special "Flex /Builder bug report form" which is a dead link to nowhere.

Most likely it seems that Flash Builder or Flash Professional thinks that the swf is still open and in use (even though it absolutely is not) and so refuses to overwrite it.
Rather than tell you this it launches the old version of the swf and pretends a compile has gone through.
Also there is absolutely no way of telling it that the swf is NOT in use.

Flash Builder won't replace file in script

So I'm trying to build an application using augmented reality but I keep running in to a problem. I want to be able to swap out the marker, but when I change the file path it doesn't take effect. In other words, the original file is "pattern1.pat" and I want to exchange it with "pattern2.pat" within the line [Embed(source="pattern1.pat", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]. But when I make the change and run it, it won't change the marker, it just keeps referencing the previous file (pattern1.pat) when I test. Why!?
I am using Flash Builder 4. Could it simply be a problem with FB4? I'm tempted to revert back to CS3 and simply build my script using Flash, but I would really like to be using new software instead of old.

Now I am getting the error code of 16 and to reinstall the product. I reinstalled FB 4.5 and it still won't launch. I do not know what to do and cannot get through to anyone in support and I'm not given the option to chat to anyone at Adobe through the support portal.
Can anyone help me so that Flash Builder will launch again?

Flash Builder Error Compiling Ipad Actionscript Mobile Project.

I just bought a brand new ipad for testing. I am using flash buider 4.7 to make an actionscript mobile project. I created an app ID, provisioning profile, and certificate. I have done this before in flash professional so it wasn't too bad. However, when I run or debug even a blank application I get this error in flash builder:
Error occurred while packaging the application:
'Launching AppName' has encountered a problem.
Error occurred while packaging the application.

I have no idea where to even start in trying to figure out what could be the problem. I am pretty sure the itunes developer information is correct. Are there any kinds of drivers or developer modes that I need to set for a new iPad?
Thanks!

Thanks Shongrunden for your reply.
Yes, you are right. If I make a new Flex mobile project, I did not see the issue.
But that did not fully answer my question, my concern is: can an actionscript project use spark components?
Thanks.

Flash Builder Won't Open

When I click on the Flash Builder application, the program brings up the loading screen. However, after a few minutes, the loading screen disappears and that's it. I checked my task manager and the program isn't open. So, what's going on? I even tried to open the program directly through the Program Files instead of my desktop, just encase that was a problem. There was no difference. So I don't know what to do. I don't have any problems with any other adobe programs. So why this one?
It's Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 Premium.

I've had the same problems but with 4.7.
My solution was/is to delete the ".metadata" folder that you'll find in C:/Users/{User Name}/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/.metadata
It will be recreated at relaunch.
The downside is that you'll lose any projects that you have there so you'll have to re-import them.
Just in case, make a copy of the folder before you delete it.
Nowadays I always keep a copy of a working .metadata folder so that I can paste it over the faulty one when things go south.
Usually happens when I have FB open and the power cuts.
(Yup, some construction going on in the area so the power has gone several times.)
Hope it helps.

Flash Builder won't launch

Hi. I am trying to troubleshoot something using Flash Builder and it won't launch. I get an error message at startup that there is a log file I should look at, which, of course, I can't really interpret since I don't know too much about how FB functions. This happens in 4.0 and 4.5 as well.

Now I am getting the error code of 16 and to reinstall the product. I reinstalled FB 4.5 and it still won't launch. I do not know what to do and cannot get through to anyone in support and I'm not given the option to chat to anyone at Adobe through the support portal.

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

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.

Importing Flex 2 projects in Flash Builder 4.5

I have a decent amount of Flash/ActionScript experience, but I'm brand new to both Flex and Flash Builder... so apologies for asking a potentially stupid question.
I just received a Flex project from a client, and I assumed I'd be able to work on it with my recent install of Flash Builder 4.5
But when I go to File > Import Flash Builder Project and navigate to the Project folder, I just get a warning that says:
“The folder does not contain a valid Flash Builder Project.”
I think this project might have originally been developed in Flex 2. Am I doing something wrong, or is it normal to not be able to import older Flex projects into Flash Builder? If Flash Builder can't import old Flex projects, what's the recommended workaround?

dont import it, do it from scratch in fb4

Cannot compile Library project in Flash builder 4: Unable to locate specified base class

I am migrating from Flex builder 3 to Flash builder 4, during that process I found that Flash builder could'nt compile Flex Library projects which contains components in the form of mxml files. Compiler throws "Unable to locate specified base class".
I have narrowed it down to by creating a flex library project named test library, below its screenshot with its package structure
ControlA is based on componentA
when i compile this project, mxml compiler throws this error
Unable to locate specified base class 'components.componentA' for component class 'ControlA'.
I cannot upload project code because file uploads are disabled on this forum so I am going to paste the code for both componentA and controlA
componentA
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:local="*" width="400" height="300">
</mx:Canvas>
ControlA
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<components:componentA xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:components="components.*" width="400" height="300">
</components:componentA>
To further test it, I have made another library project with same package structure using pure AS3, and it compiled without errors

It might be this happens and other errors if you forget to Run Flash Builder 4.5 Buritto and startup the other version FB4.
It uses the same project listings and that can be confusing since you're not expecting the old version to be aware of new Buritto (MobileApplications) projects you added (thinking) only to the BETA version installed elseware no doubt.
Well it might not be your problem but worthy of noting for other's I'm sure.
Otherwise you've double checked you're using SDK 4.5 Hero with it too! right?

CS6 Trial, Flash Builder 4.7 and CC

Here's the overall circumstance:
I have a new job with an employer that is using CS6 Master Collection. It is installed on my at work workstation as a trial. Inhouse support says a licence is on its way. I also have a CC licence personally.
Here's what I wanted to achieve:
- update Flash Builder 4.6 to 4.7 which is a free update under CS6
Here's what I did:
- I couldn't find the direct download for 4.7 so I signed into my CC account and downloaded and installed 4.7, assuming it would run under the CS6 trial
Here's what happened:
- Flash Builder wants to use the CC licence under which I downloaded it
- I have already used the two installs for the CC licence (I run a Mac as my personal development machine with Parallels/Windows and have a CC licence running on the Mac and my second CC install running on the Windows partition on the Mac)
- Flash Builder won't run unless I deactivate my other installs on my Mac
- other CS6 apps are running under the trial licence
Here's what I did to troubleshoot:
- uninstalled CS6
- uninstalled CC
- downloaded the AdobeCreativeClouldCleanerTool
- cleaned everything available under the tool
- everything was removed except for the 64 bit Flash Builder 4.7 install
- deleted the 4.7 install folder directly as there was no uninstaller available (Flash Builder was not listed under the Control Panels:Programs and Features)
- re-installed CS6, including Flash Builder 4.6 (I'd given up on having 4.7 until my CS6 licence is established)
- now Flash Builder 4.6 won't run at work unless I deactivate my CC licences on my personal Mac
- all the other re-installed CS6 apps run under the trial
To the questions:
1) Is there any way to get Flash Builder 4.6 working again under the trial?
2) Will Flash Builder 4.6 work under the CS6 licence once I have a serial number?
3) Is there anyway to update Flash Builder to 4.7 and have it work with the CS6 serial number?
Chris

I experienced this problem today, and kind of "solved" it. There may be an underlying bug, though.
My project compiled fine last Thursday, but I opened it up on Monday (unchanged) and this error showed up in several files. I tried quitting and restarting Flash Builder to no avail. I could not replicate the problem in a new project.
For me, each occurence of the error was at a private function definition, so I thought I would try changing "private" to "public" on one of the functions. The error immediately went away in all 3 locations (not just the one I edited). I then changed it back to "private" with no error.
I hope that will help the Adobe team track down the problem.

Android package contents in Flash Builder 4.5 : file list doesn't update

I keep hitting what looks like a bug in Flash Builder 4.5, and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen it or can help me find a workaround.
The problem occurs when I choose Export Release Build... and try to build an APK for Android. In the second screen of the wizard, under the Package Contents tab, there's a file list and you're supposed to select the files you want in the package. Simple enough. The problem is that this file list does not consistently reflect updates to the project file structure. So I usually see an outdated file list, which might or might not have all the files I actually need to put into the package.
There doesn't seem to be a way to force the wizard to rescan the project and rebuild this list. I've tried restarting Flash Builder, deleting bin-release-temp, cleaning all projects, and a few other things besides. So far nothing works. (The Flash view always picks up my changes within a few seconds.)
It seems like my only option is to use the command-line compiler. Not the end of the world, but I'd rather that the wizard just do what it's supposed to do.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked, but that doesn't seem to be the problem in my case. I've attached a screen shot showing the problem – the list of source files in the Flash view doesn't match the list of source files in the Export Release Build wizard. The red boxes highlight one of the areas where they differ.
The file I want to include is StagesLoader/assets/game/assets.swf. (The directory StagesLoader/assets is included into the project as a separate source path.) As you can see, the "rooms" folder in that directory is available in the export wizard, but "assets.swf" is not.

Flash Builder, Flex SDK 4.1 and OSMF versions

Hi,
I use Flash Builder (4.5) and have to use the 4.1 Flex SDK to make AIR apps for TV sets. The OSMF lib provided in the 4.1 SDK doesnt meet my needs, but the 4.5 version does. However, when I add another OSMF.swc version to my libraries, I get a Conflict error and cannot compile the app. If to prevent conflicts I remove the native OSMF.swf (Properties -> Flex Buid Path -> Remove) then Flash Builder signals an error (red cross aside the project in the project explorer), but won't say where it is. Of course it will not compile either.
Any idea ?

If I had to summarize my problem in ten words :
With Flex 4.5 SDK and AIR 2.6 SDK I can stream dynamic http in the VideoPlayer element, but it won't play on a Samsung TV.
With Flex 4.1 SDK and AIR 2.6 SDK I can launch the app on a Samsung TV, but the VideoPlayer element won't play any dynamic http stream.
I assume this problem comes from OSMF because it is the library supposedly handling the dynamic streaming. I just can't make it work within Flex 4.1 :
If I delete the native osmf.swc and remove it from the Flex Build Path properties, Flash Builder won't compile, claiming there is an error, even if I add other more recent osmf.swc.
If I don't delete it and still add another one, either I get a conflict error or a "not found" error. either way it won't compile.

Modeler development - Flash Builder 4 and LCDS JBoss

Hi,
I am trying out modeler development in Jboss, Followed the below steps and I am getting error while deploying the model
1         Installed LCDS 3.0 as JBoss.
2         Uncommented the RDS configuration in web.xml of lcds.war.
3         Copied lcds.war to jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\deploy folder.
4         Configured Flash builder RDS Server to point Jboss.
5         Created Data model from Database.
6      Getting error while deploying the model.(PFA JBoss Error-1.txt)
I am assuming bug LCDS-408 does not apply to Jboss 4.2.3.GA, but still went ahead and removed hibernate related JAR from WEB-INF/lib folder.
After this change while deploying the model(fml) following error pops up in flash builder. Corresponding JBOSS log in JBoss Error-2.txt
I did not find any documents /blogs related to modeler development in JBoss
Please help me on this, Thanks in advance

Hi Martin,
Flex Mobile project is only available with Flash Builder Burrito (which is a preview release of the version after Flash Builder 4) available at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashbuilder_burrito/
Flash Builder 4 does not support mobile projects.

Flash Builder fort All Devices

hello
Am new for flash builder i want to create games for pc,iphone,ipod etc. it is possible in single project Currently am flash game developer using cs5 and as2,as3

In flash builder, you can export a mobile project (flex based or AS3 mobile) to targeted devices (iOS, Android, BB Playbook) and to Desktop (Windows, Mac and Linux) (it create a .air file). I didnt try to make a game, but I can't see why it wouldn't work.

Flash Builder 4.0 Standalone VS Plugin for Flex and Java Development

Hello,
I have recently installed Flash Builder 4.0 for a personal project. The server side of the project was going to be developed in ASP.NET but at the last minute I decided to change it to Java. However now I am wondering if it would be better to uninstall and install Eclipse with the Flash Builder 4.0 plugin.
I am not really asking which one is better, I guess both are pretty much the same (though I wonder what features are not included in the Eclipse plugin), however I want to know which one would let me create an easier workflow model for the development now that I am going to use Java as well.
I am open to other suggestions as well.
Thanks,
Jorge

Hey guys, I'm brand new to this as well and you probably don't need an answer now but I found this anyway:
Flex Builder and Flash Builder both function as Plug-ins to Eclipse, though each also comes in a "stand-alone" flavor - which is still eclipse, but with a lot of the Eclipse functionality torn out for a smaller footprint.

All the best!
