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 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.

Can't open Flash Builder - "See the log file" error.

I have been using Flash Builder 4.5 and for some reason it has stopped opening correctly - I get the following error then it just shuts down.... :
"An error has occured. See the log file."
and if i check the log file it refers to then i see the following text:

This is incredably frustrating as you can imagine as it effectively means i cant work anymore, it is clearly some kind of problem with eclipse but i have no idea what.
I have tried re-installing Flash Builder twice and no luck.
Can anyone help with this???
Thanks !!!!
Elliot.

There is a similar thread with exact same stackstrace and problmes reported with earlier verison of FB. You can check it here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/832073. Thre is also representation of Adobe engineers on this thread. Aprarenlty there are certain updates(Eclipse / java) that FB doen't encourage, post FB is installed in stanadlone mode and workarounds are suggested on this thread to overcome this problem. If you are workign in plugin environment with FB, I guess updates are not affecting FB installtion. Please try out the solutions presented on this thread and let us know.

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 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 CS4 won't publish file

Export, and publish (including the preview keyboard shortcut) have suddenly stopped working. The problem has affected two recently created files but older files work as normal. When I publish or preview a file the export panel appears but then flash freezes and I have to force quit the application. I tried to save the file as a CS3 file and this caused the application to freeze in the same way. I re-installed and used clean script but this didn't work. I'm using an iMac (intel) 5,1 model with OS X 5.5.7. Has anyone encountered similar problems and if so how were they resolved?

Flash Builder: Fluctuations in .ipa file size

This is more of a tip, cause it's been bugging me for a while. Sometimes, when you build an ipa to test on your App on an iOS device, you may have realized huge differences in file size between an app packaged through Debug or through Run.

debug version is alway larger as it contains the code to communicate with the debugger. No need for the functionality in final release hence its a smaller file.

Flash still won't play files in Firefox 4, even with latest version 10

Despite what a Firefox support article states, Adobe Flash will not play videos in Firefox 4, even after Flash has been upgraded to the most recent version of Flash 10 (10.3.181.14). That is because the problem is not with Flash, it is in fact a problem with Firefox 4 (what a surprise!). After trying all the useless suggestions here, I finally just went back to Firefox 3.16. Flash had always worked for me prior to switching to Firefox 4. Sure enough, no sooner did I go back to 3.16, Flash immediately began playing videos properly again. Same latest version of Flash, old version of Firefox equal proper video operation. Any version of Flash, Firefox 4 equals no videos play.

I've upgraded from flash 10.0.45 to 11.2.202.235, using Synaptic.
Then, when i saw it didn't work, i've returned to 10.0.45 and upgraded it to 11.2.202.233, no success.
There is an screenshot from a Youtube page, as you can see the video doesn't work, even if i wait a few minutes...

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?

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.

Flash Builder 4.5 - Flex (source code automatically changed after existing project import)

Hi all!
Til yesterday, i was using FB v4.0 and it was perfectly working.
But now I'm under 4.5 and i have problem when importing my existing projects.
Now let me introduce the matter:
The entire project solution is located on my Desktop.
So, to import this, i go in FB in File>Import Project
Then i select "Project Repository" option and "Browse" button, then select the project on Desktop...
So.... import complete and SEEM TO BE successful
Unfortunately, from the IDE, when i double click on each source files, the code inside is not the expected one.
In fact, it looks as an older version of my code.
Then, i exit totally FB4.5...
... and open my source files with a simple text editor, i can see that the original code (before import) has been changed by FB4.5...
So, why???
for example, this original code:
* This is a generated class and is not intended for modification. To customize behavior
* of this service wrapper you may modify the generated sub-class of this class - WS_rq_login.as.
package services.ws_rq_login

Well well,
I got some news about this problem....
Look like Flash Builder uses a ".FML" file to reference URL of all WebServices used in the project.
When replacements occurs, the updated values seem coming from this.

Flash Builder 4.7 downgrade to 4.6 version

Hey,
We have bought a license key for upgrade from Flash Builder 4.0 SE to Flash Builder 4.7 SE, but we need access to Designer View which is not available in FB 4.7.
Our distributor tell us, that it is possible by doing downgrade to Flash Builder 4.6. To do it we should contact with Adobe Support.
So our questions are:
1. How can we downgrade Flash Builder from 4.7 SE to 4.6?
2. Could we change our license key to 4.6 license key?
3. How can we download Flash Builder 4.6 binary files?
Best regards,
Juri

In order for you to downgrade you need to hava an AVL license, and yes it is possible, you just need to call support.
http://www.adobe.com/volume-licensing/policies.html
Check Backward licensing policy
"Adobe allows program members to order a current-version license but use a prior version. These members can contact Adobe Customer Service to request a serial number for the earlier version if they do not already have one. Prior-version software is available via ESD and can be purchased through standard resellers. The program member must follow all guidelines of the current-version EULA.
Note: This policy is applicable under the TLP and Forms Licensing Program (FLP) as well."
Hope it helps!

Flash Builder Integration

Flash CS5 has the ability to integrate with Flash Builder for editing AS files but I can't find a way to make it work with existing Flash projects. The docs tell how to do it when creating new FLA/AS files but they don't say anything about existing projects. I've changed my ActionScript preferences to always use Flash Builder as my Class Editor but that makes no difference. Whenever I open a .AS file either with File | Open or by double-clicking in the Project panel the file opens within Flash. How can I get it to open AS files in Flash Builder (for a project that was created with an older version of Flash)?
David Salahi
P.S. I've even tried exporting as XFL to see if there's a way to change the settings but there doesn't seem to be anything related in the XML.

I found a workaround: create a new .FLA file in CS5 and use that one instead of the old one. After doing that, when I double-click files in the Project panel they open in Flash Builder.
This workaround is OK for simple FLA files but it's not going to be practical for an FLA of any complexity. So, I'm still wondering if there's a better way?

Problem Creating Project (Flash Builder 4) which uses LiveCycle DS

I have a web app which uses LiveCycle DS 2.6.1, however, when I try to create a new flex project I am getting this error:
Only LiveCycle Data Services 2.6 and higher are supported.
Here are the steps in Flash Builder 4
1. File -> New -> Flex Project
2. Set project name
3. Point folder to existing source code
4. Change "Application server type" to "J2EE"
5. Check the "Use remote object acces service"
6. Select "LiveCycle Data Services ES" radio button
7. Click next
8. Un-check "Use default location for local LiveCycle Data Services server
9. Set "Root Folder" to "C:\tomcat\webapps\myapp"
-- in myapp, I have WEB-INF\flex of course
10. Set root URL and context root
11. Click "Validate Configuration"
This gives me the error: "Only LiveCycle Data Services 2.6 and higher are supported."
Any ideas? How is Flash Builder determining the version of LiveCycle?

Hi Jeremy,
I tried the steps you mentioned and cannot reproduce the problem. You mentioned you are pointing your project location to existing source code. Was there a previous FB project at that location? Was that project using an older version of LCDS before? If you create a new project and point it to a new emoty project location folder (or use default workspace location), do you still see the problem? Any more information you can give me to help reproduce the problem would help.
thanks!

Flash Builder 4.7 licence activation

Hello,
    My company bought a flash builder 4.7 premium licence, but apparently it doesn't work...
     I created a small projet to test and add that piece of code to see if it's ok :
protected function applicationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
                                        Many features require a Flash Builder Pro (Premium) license to function properly (i.e. automation)
                                        The LicenseUser class registers a handler (LicenseHandler) to be called if a Flash Builder Pro license is NOT present;
                                        if a Flash Builder Pro license IS present, then the compiler will remove the LicenseHandler class for the SWF
                                        if (Class(this.systemManager.getDefinitionByName("licence.LicenseHandler")))
                                                  Alert.show("This SWF was compiled WITHOUT a Flash Builder Pro license")
                                        else
                                                  Alert.show("This SWF was compiled WITH a Flash Builder Pro license")
   [RequiresLicense("mx.fbpro", handler="licence.LicenseHandler")]
    public class LicenseUser
        public function LicenseUser()
    public class LicenseHandler
        public function LicenseHandler()
It's a piece of code we can find on some forum and works for some people.
But the message which is displayed is always the first one => "This SWF was compiled WITHOUT a Flash Builder Pro license"
I found that page (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/flex-automation-issues-flash-builder.html) to replace the licence.jar but it still doesn't work...
The profiler doesn't work either...
Have you got any ideas please ?
Thanks.

Hi
I am having same issue.
Have followed the instruction at: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html
When go to compile my mobile flex app I get cant resolve ViewNavigationApplication and new flex mobile projects do not 'finish' when using the wizard.
[Update]
Have AIRSDK 3.5 with ASC 2.0 is working nicely. Also must remember, when updating SDK need to make sure there are not firewall restrictions to the new commands (adt)
This has solved my ios deployment issue with AIR 3.4 (which was only reason invesigating AIR 3.6 in the first place)

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.

Flash Builder won't replace file in script
