Flashbuilder 4 giving problem in flex sdk 4.5.0 and 4.5.1

Hi,
I have flash builder 4 installed in windows xp OS.
While developing AIR application in flash builder + flex sdk 4.0 it is fine and showing the application windows.
But when i use flex 4.5.0 or flex 4.5.1 sdk the window doesnot show.
After i have changed the workspace it gives the following problem.
Process terminated unexpectedly.
error while loading initial content
Launch command details:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4\sdks\4.5.1\bin\adl.exe" -runtime

Merging Flex SDK 4.5.1 and AIR SDK 3.2

Is there any harm with merging AIR SDK 3.2 into Flex SDK 4.5.1?

Hi - this reply is a bit old as I've just come across this post whilst searching for something else related to orientation on IOS. Anyway, assuming, you haven't already worked out the problem you need to add
Import Flash.desktop.StageOrientation;

My previous Visa was giving problems. I introduced a new visa and still my account is blocked. Can you help me?

Hello,
My previous credit card (Visa) was giving problems.

Flex SDK problem

Where can I find the path to the Flex SDK? Last time I embeded metadata, Flash CS5 automatically found it for me. This time its not working. I get this message in the output window:
You have used a feature that requires the Flex SDK:
"Embed" metadata
Please set the Flex SDK path if necessary and add it to the library path for this file. The Flex SDK folder contains the bin, frameworks, lib and other folders.
Thanks for your help
Shiim

I did that. I found an SDK that was in the FlashDevelop folder, but the SDK that comes with Flash CS5 is missing or hidden. I did an unhide files in the control panel. but the folder is still not there. Also my program works if I click Test Project, but it will not work with ctrl+enter. Something keeps getting messed up, but I'm not familiar enough with the Flash IDE to fix it. I've re-installed 3 times.
Thanks

Flex Builder 3.1 Standard and Flex SDK 4.1 build 16076

Hi I have a problem I have downloaded Flex SDK 4.1 16076 and added to my sdk list in Flex Builder. I can compile my program fine except when I change files the flash imports are removed and the code hints don't have any knowledge of flash.display and other base classes such as Movieclip and Sprite. As soon as a manually paste the imports into my class files it compiles again but can't be doing with copying imports back in every time I change a class file.
It didn't do this on version 4.0.0 - I have added -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true to compiler arguments as I did have a problem with it firstly compiling about FontAsset.
Does anyone know why? Do I have to add another swc in?

You should always have separate workspaces for separate versions of Flash Builder.
Flex 3 and Flex 4 have some large differences. You will probably want to spend some time reading about migrating by searching on Google. Here is a good place to start: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex3and4_differences.html

Where is the Flex SDK 3.6 change log?

Now we have almost 3 weeks after the release of Flex SDK 3.6 and I still can't find up-to-date release notes or a change log. The release notes and many other online resources still mention Flex SDK 3.5. Also I can't find a milestone in the bug database for filtering the affected issues.
Does anybody know what's new in 3.6?

I've looked for the changelog as well but could not find it either.
You should check at Flex Bug Management System https://bugs.adobe.com/flex/
no registration is required to browse.
In Project, select Flex SDK
In Issue select Bug (or any)
In Milestone select Flex SDK 3.6(Release)
And that's it , click on View and you'll see what's been changed.

Overlaying AIR SDK with Flex SDK

I have noticed in the release notes for every AIR release it says to download Flex SDK 4.5.1 and the latest playerglobal.swc. Is there a reason why I should be downloading that version and not the latest (4.6)?
Also is there anything wrong with overlaying Flex 4.x and the latest AIR SDK if all I'm developing for is AIR applications?

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

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.

Using FlashBuilder 4 with Flex sdk 3.5

Has anyone experianced any problems with using the new FlashBuilder 4 together with the Flex 3.5 sdk?

I have not had any issues so far in the short time I have used FB4.
I would like to use the new FB4 IDE but cant upgrade the SDK at the moment.
It will potentialy also be an environment with mixed IDEs using both FB3 and FB4.
So I am wondering if there are any known issues with the set up FB4 + sdk3.5 in general.

Embed OTF Font as CFF in Pure Actionscript Project using Flex SDK 4.0

I want to apply the method explained here: http://www.insideria.com/2009/03/flash-text-engine.html using only the Flex SDK 4 (not using FlashBuilder)
Specifically:
Embedding fonts can be tricky. In Flex, embed the font and store it
using DefineFont4 and font subsetting currently only supported by Gumbo.
A future version of Flash will support it but in the meantime, a Gumbo
SWC with the embedded font must be created then adding to your Flash CS4
project.
The following is the method I am using to embed the fonts.
public class Main extends Sprite {
     [Embed(source="../assets/GE Thameen DemiBold.otf",
                              fontFamily = "GE Thameen",
                              fontWeight = "bold",
                              mimeType = "application/x-font",
                              embedAsCFF = "true"
     private const GEThameen:Class;
The following command line was assimilated after solving the output error messages using google and a little looking into how FlashDevelop works..
mxmlc Main.as -load-config config.xml -managers flash.fonts.AFEFontManager
The output SWF is not working as supposed, and the file size (20KB) does not seem to account for the embedded font. PS: When the font embedding is bypassed, and a device font is used for the text engine classes, the file works perfectly.
The contents of config.xml are as the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


<flex-config>
<target-player>10.0.0</target-player>
<compiler>
    <source-path append="true">
      <path-element>E:\actionscript</path-element>
    </source-path>
    <external-library-path>
        <path-element>C:\bin\flex_sdk_4\frameworks\libs\player\10.0\playerglobal.swc</path-element>
        <path-element>C:\bin\flex_sdk_4\frameworks\libs\flex.swc</path-element>
    </external-library-path>
</compiler>
<file-specs>
</file-specs>
<default-background-color>#FFFFFF</default-background-color>
<default-frame-rate>30</default-frame-rate>
<default-size>
    <width>800</width>
    <height>600</height>
</default-size>
</flex-config>

After losing about 2-3 days to trying to figure this stuff out, I rolled back to build 4.5.0.19786 and the problem doesn't occur anymore. I'll revisit this issue once we ship the product next week.
Thanks Alex.
Cheers,

How to setup Flex SDK with latest AIR SDK?

Now the latest AIRSDK web page has a small link at the bottom for Flex users and it states that Flex users should take the SDK version without the compiler. BUT....
the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html page says to download the SDK from
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/asc2.html
but this page now redirects to:
http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html
which contains a large list of archived SDK's. So that help page never really says which version of the SDK to use - with or without the compiler. But other forum posts have implied its suppose to be the one with the compiler.
Now since we're overlaying the ...plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722\AIRSDK folder that would make sense.
But now there's a second overlay instructions page at:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/how-overlay-air-sdk-flex-sdk.html
with different instructions.
So my questions are:
   Which overlay instructions are we really suppose to use?
   Which version of the AIR SDK (with or with-out compiler) are we suppose to use?
   What does the Flex Library Project properties -> Flex Library Compiler -> 'Include Adobe AIR libraries' checkbox really do?
        If I've followed the (first) overlay instructions above, does this checkbox now mean I'm using the overlaid AIR SDK 3.6
        with the current Flex SDK I've chosen?
        What if I'm using the Apache Flex 4.9.1 SDK? Will the AIR SDK 3.6 overlay that?
            (Doesn't Apache Flex have AIR 3.4 embedded - will this confuse Flash Builder 4.7 ?)
Is it just me, or is this just getting more and more confusing? Can we perhaps get a AIR SDK combo box to go beside the Flex combo box and when we check the 'Include Adobe AIR libraries' then we can select the AIR SDK we want? And get a 'configure AIR SDKs...' link too? Then perhaps we can get completely away from overlays and all this merged SDK nonsense. I've had nothing but problems with it.
The real reason I need all this info is because I'm trying to use Flash Builder 4.7 to build an Android ANE and I'm having a devil of a time just trying to find my resources. When I use context.getResourceID() I'm not getting the correct resources - and after reviewing other posts here I came to the conclusion that it might be due to bugs in older AIR SDK's. So really, at the moment I could care less about the latest Flex SDK, I just need to know I'm working from the latest AIR SDK.
Thanks in advance.

If you are not using Flash Builder go here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html
At the bottom it says:
Note : Flex users will need to download the original AIR SDK without the new compiler. Mac Windows.
Download the proper one for your OS and then extract it over your existing Flex SDK directory.
EDIT: Just read your post again and noticed you mentioned Flash Builder. In that case you want to follow these directions: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-builder/kb/overlay-air-sdk-flash-builder.html and grab the version with the compiler at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html

AS3 Preloader (without Flex SDK or Flash CS)

I use FlashBuilder but not the Flex SDK, just pure Actionscript. I have a swf application that is too long to download, so I would like to display a progressbar while the swf is being downloaded from the host.
My main class is a Sprite. I tried to add a progressEvent.PROGRESS listener on root.loaderInfo in the constructor of my main Sprite, but then a PROGRESS event is fired only when all the swf is downloaded. Useless.
On a Flex project, you have a Preloader included in the main Application, that displays a progressBar while the application swf is being downloaded from the server and initializing.
That's what I want.
Does someone understand how the Flex Preloader works ?
Do you know how to do that without Flex SDK ?

Here is the Preloader class :
public class Preloader extends MovieClip
public function Preloader()
    super();
    stop();
    if (root && root.loaderInfo)
    root.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler, false, 0, true);
private function initHandler(e:Event):void
    root.loaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler);
    displayProgressBar();
    root.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler, false, 0, true);
    root.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler, false, 0, true);
private function progressHandler(e:ProgressEvent):void
    displayProgressBar(e.bytesLoaded, e.bytesTotal);
private function completeHandler(e:Event):void
    root.loaderInfo.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
    root.loaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    removeProgressBar();
    nextFrame();
    var mainClass:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName("MainApplication"));
    if(mainClass)
      var app:Sprite = new mainClass();
      stage.addChild(app);
    stage.removeChild(this);
private function displayProgressBar(bytesLoaded:int = -1, bytesTotal:int = -1):void
   // add a progressBar and display the progress
private function removeProgressBar(bytesLoaded:int = -1, bytesTotal:int = -1):void
   // remove the progressBar

How to install Flex SDK in IBM RAD?

Hi All,
I'm new to Flex and facing some trouble in installing flex 4.6 sdk in my existing IBM RAD application.
There are few flex files that are included in the new release and I need to work on those files (test/debug) to make sure that existing application is not affected with these files.
I have installed Flash Player and latest Flash Builder 4.0 and 4.6 plugin on my system for this purpose.
The Flex SDK, however, I'm not able to configure on my RAD.
Because of this, I'm not able to see the Flex Prespectives in my RAD and mxml & as files are giving error in text editor.
Please guide -
1. How to configure the latest Flex 4.6 SDK in RAD.
2. Apart from what I have done already, do I need to do anything else to debug/test the newly added flex files in my RAD.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Thanks for your great reply i greatly appreciate you efforts.
Arie the thing is that i saw the post you mentioned above and it's kind of tangled,isn't there anyway or any sourceful website for step by step guide because i already mentioned that i am a brand new c/c++ programmer and i have no experience how to do programming in c/c++ as i am android and java developer using eclipse tool so visual studio is somewhat a new world for me.
Please if you have any step by step guidence link or website in your mind,do let me know i anxiously look forward for a step by step guide,but let's say if you don't have anything i want it's perfectly fine i ll try to dig more and work and look in VS 2010 because may be i am new and that's why i can't find the SDK integration.
Once again Arie thanks for your helpful and fast reply i greatly appreciate your co-operation.
Thanks,
Brian

Customizing a VScrollBar is not working in Flex sdk 4.6?

Hi,
I have updated my Flex sdk from 4.5 to 4.6 in my application. I have faced a strange issue this sdk 4.6.
In my application I have designed a Custom VScrollbar for customizing the vertical scroll speed of a mouse wheel to smooth-en the scrolling . This was working fine when using Flex sdk 4.5.
Since I have updated to Flex sdk 4.6, the vertical scroll bar in not visible in UI. Whereas it was visible and working fine using Flex sdk 4.5.
How to make it work in Flex sdk 4.6?
The usage of the Customized Scroller is given below.
In Main Page:
<components:CustomScroller id="homeUIScroller"
                               width="100%" height="100%">
        <s:VGroup >
        </s:VGroup>
</components:CustomScroller>
CustomScroller.as:
public class CustomScroller extends Scroller
        public function CustomScroller()
            super();
            this.verticalScrollBar = new CustomVScrollBar();
CustomVScrollBar.as
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import mx.core.mx_internal;
    import mx.events.FlexEvent;
    import spark.components.VScrollBar;
    import spark.core.IViewport;
    use namespace mx_internal;
    public class CustomVScrollBar extends VScrollBar
        private var distance:Number = 78;    // default scroll mover value
         * Override mouseWheelHandler to scroll by a fixed amount
         * See superclass for example of how this normally works
        override mx_internal function mouseWheelHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            const vp:IViewport = viewport;
            if (event.isDefaultPrevented() || !vp || !vp.visible)
                return;
            var delta:Number = event.delta;
            var direction:Number = 0;
            if (delta < 0){
                direction = 1;
            } else if (delta == 0){
                direction = 0;
            } else {
                direction = -1;
            if(direction == -1 && vp.verticalScrollPosition <= 0)
                return;
            if(direction == 1 && (vp.verticalScrollPosition + distance) > maximum)
                return;
            vp.verticalScrollPosition += distance * direction;
            event.preventDefault();
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks In advance.

Thanks for the response. I am using spark TextInput components as you can see in the code above. I've used these conrtols in other apps in FB 4.5 and have had no problems so it seems like something may be different in 4.6, or it's a bug.

Hi Swapnil,
1)Try Overlaying SDK to 2.0 like:
                 a)Download the AIR SDK 2.0 zip
                 b)and paste it at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0 and
                 c)extract it.Check whether this SDK selected in Flex Compiler.
2) Make sure that you have changed the AIR version number in descripter file (-app.xml) for example <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5"> here have to change 1.5 to 2.0.
3) In the Flex Compiler panel check that which Flex SDK (3.5) has been selected. Might it different from defaultly selected.
In Flex Builder you can check in two ways :
          a)Window>Preferences>Flex>Installed SDKs(Default)>Check SDK selected.
          b)Select Project folder in Navigator Panel and Mouse Right click >properties>Flex Compiler>Check SDK selected.
4)Make sure that the opening files have accessibility with this function.
