Flex Builder 2 Upgrade problem

Hi,
I've got Flex Builder 2 (no charting included) and want to upgrade to Flash Builder 4 Premium.
The problem i've met is there is no one step upgrade :/ Seller told me that i must upgrade to Flash Builder 4 Standard
and then upgrade to Premium. But if i had FB 3 Standard i would upgrade in one step to FB 4 Premium.
For me it's a little non-sense. FB 2 was much more expensive than FB 3 standard and now the price to upgrade is
almost the same as brand new FB 4 Premium ;/
Can I buy only one upgrade from previous FB X Standard ?
Please give me a reliable answer.

Hi Pshemol,
The advice you were given was correct - you can upgrade from Flex Builder 2 (without charting) to Flash Builder 4 Standard edition for $99. If you want Flash Builder 4 Premium then you'll need to upgrade as described previously and then purchase a Standard to Premium upgrade for $499.
Thanks,

Problems with Flex builder upgrade

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade my copy of Flex Builder to
2.0.1 so that I can install the Apollo plugin, but when I run the
upgrade the wizard says it cannot find the correct folder
apparently it does not contain the plugin and features folders, but
I know it does I can see them. I have installed Flex builder on the
D drive of my PC, I'm not sure if that is the cause of the problem.
I also have a copy of Eclipse 3.2 with the Flex Builder plugin
installed, which does have the Apollo plugin working, but I'd like
to have the full Flex builder working so I can use the RDS plugins
to view my databases, which doesn't work in Eclipse 3.2.
So what is the best place to have Flex Builder installed so I
can get Cfeclipse, RDS and Apollo plugins to work?
Thanks
Stephen

Is Flex Builder running? In Beta 3 we have a problem in that
we were opening the Help in an external browser, which stays open
when you stop Flex Builder (which, in turn, stops the Tomcat
instance that runs the Help).
For final, we'll rever to using the internal browser window
by default, which closes when you close Flex Builder.

Basic flex builder download problem

I downloaded and used flex builder standalone trial version 3 days ago, before removing it to install flex builder eclipse plugin which is what I should have downloaded initially.
Now I keep getting a cryptic message ['an error has occurred'] when trying to download the plugin version. I know other people who are not having this problem. Is it caused by the fact that builder was already installed?
What is the quickest way of sorting it out from the UK?
Thanks

So it sounds like you had to create an Adobe account first.

Flex builder and snow leopard problems

Since upgrading to Mac OS X 10.6, Flex Builder is functioning extremely poorly. The worst issue is that I am experiencing extreme slowness when typing code. I type a few letters and then have to wait a few seconds for my text to fully appear. The is happening in both Flash Builder beta and Flex Builder 3. There are also some other quirks--the column down the left side of the editor, where line numbers appear, periodically stops updating so that error and debug markers never disappear until I restart Eclipse.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can at least fix the text issue?

Wow, you're completely right. I hadn't noticed the second monitor issue until just now because Flex/Flash Builder is almost always on the second. Line numbers scroll just fine on my primary monitor.
Also, has anyone noticed a crazy amount of CPU usage when Flex/Flash Builder is Building the workspace or launching the application? When I look at the processes in Activity Monitor, a process called "fontd" uses ~95%. I've done some searching and all I can find is it has something to do with system fonts. Most people recommend clearing your font caches by booting into Safe Mode and/or using Font Book to resolve any duplicate fonts. I've tried both multiple times, yet the problem is still there. Any ideas?

Widget creation on Flex builder and related problems - need some help

Hi all.
I am trying to create a widget like application and it seems
I have made a mistake. As you know, desktop widgets are like small
stickers, they do not appear on taskbar and can be hidden or
docked.
The problem is that I created an AIR application using Flex
Builder 3 Beta and now I cannot find how to make that application
behave like custom-shaped window. My app appears on Windows taskbar
and I don't want it. When I drag the window (which is a custom
shape) it shows that nasty dragging rectangle around it.
As far as I found out (and tried it) I need to use cod like:
var initOptions:NativeWindowInitOptions = new
NativeWindowInitOptions();
initOptions.systemChrome = NativeWindowSystemChrome.NONE;
initOptions.type = NativeWindowType.UTILITY;
to hide my window from the taskbar. But it seems I cannot use
such a code for class mx:Application. Or can I (would be grateful
for some idea)?
The main question is:
if I want to migrate my app to that NativeWindow based
solution - then NativeWindow is not an mx class and I cannot find
how I will use Flex Builder Design mode to arrange my GUI elements.
Is it somehow possible to wrap my mx:Application inside
NativeWindow and do not have to migrate the design from mxml files
to pure ActionScript?
The second issue - if I want to use some kind of subforms -
like widget settings window - when I move that window with the
mouse, it is being clipped to the region of my Application. Does
that again mean that I need to use NativeWindow for creating such a
"Widget settings" dialog window?
Thanks for any ideas (and especially for useful links and
examples :-) )

Video Display Problems with Flex Builder 2

I am currently trying out the Flex Builder 30-day trial and
have been having problems running the software.
System info:
FB 2.0.1
Dell Latittude D820 running WinXP
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 120M Video Card
When I first installed it, my display turned to garbage and I
had to reboot my machine to get it to a usable state. Someone
suggested changing my display properties and see if it helped. When
I tried 768X1024 with 8-bit color it worked. Once I installed it, I
changed them back to 1920X1200 32-bit. Everything seemed to work
fine until I started getting into some more complicated tutorials.
My display crashed and looked similar to what I saw before. I
updated to the latest NVIDIA driver from Dell. No help. I then
tried the Windows Troubleshooting. When I turned my hardware
acceleration to None, it started working again. There are some
weird display issues with menu buttons and I can't launch my Nvdia
software.
Is there a better solution to this? Has anyone had this
problem? I'm not so sure I'll purchase the software with this many
problems.
Thanks,
Wendi

Boys n Girls
I am Currently restoring my Power Book after a significant meltdown.
Thanks for posting I too saw the shearing effect but shrugged it off thinking oh well I'll just reboot!
If you are seeing this Buy a fire wire drive NOW and Back-up.
I suspect the Video update changed a low level feature in the power management routines and this resulted in my Power book cooking itself.
I've got a 12mth old Hitachi 7200 PATA drive in my Power Book after the Apple Drive cooked itself soem tim back and I have now got to back-up and restore my whole system. Luckiliy I have plenty of Big fast firewire drives around so I'm imaging the corrupt drive and going to run the Hitachi tool on it via a WINDOZE Thinkpad. Then a combination of clean install of 10.5.x and a migration assisted restore should do it.
I'm really not very happy though! My Time machine image did not restore and the disk repair did not work. I have a corrupted asl.DB ( the log file for Apple System Logs) and the mac won't boot from its internal drive.
I'll post the resolution here as it happens I'm at hour Disaster + 24 so I'm really cranky!
I suggest If you have a G4 Power Book you resist the temptation to install the video update.
Regards

Cvs problem in flex builder 2.0

Hi, everyone, I have installed my flex builder 2.0 without
problem, and i have created some apps using it.
It is really good.
But the question is , when I set up a CVS client in flex
builder, i can only do commit / update / synch, Why the Edit /
Unedit menus are disabled? Dose anyone know this? I think it is
very inconvenient.
Thank you

Hi There
I am wondering if you can help me, i am looking to build a simple flex front end with a java back end, just to send simple requests and responses. By the sounds of your email you have an idea of how to do this, i am using websphere as my server, i am wondering if you have any links to tutorials on how to do this or any sample projects yourself. Any help would be amazing
Thanks

Flex Builder 3 under Eclipse - project .settings problem

I've been experiencing some odd problems with a project using FlexBuilder 3 plug-in with Eclipse.
The first problem I've noticed is that a file under the .settings dir has a red 'x' beside it. The offending
file is org.eclipse.jst.common.project.facet.core.prefs. I've left the file as is until I understand how it became corrupt.
The second problem is that .as and .mxml files are no longer being opened in the Flex Builder editor -
the are being opened in TextPad, which it the default editor outside of Flex Builder. I've tried all of the available
editors and none of them work under Flex Builder.
The third problem is that when I try to create a new Flex Builder project from New->Project-> there is no
option for a FlexBuilder project.
The Flex Development perspective is visible in the top right hand corner as usual. When I select Open Perspective
there is no Flex perspective.
Should I just reinstall the FlexBuilder plugin?
Thanks!

Hi Peter,
It has not been fully tested yet but a few of us are using
it. If you see any issues in Eclipse 3.3RC4 with FB3 Plugin, please
file a bug in our new public bug system:

thanks,

Install Flash Builder 4.5.x Upgrade without Flex Builder 3.x installed?

Edit: Is the lack of replies because no one knows the answer or because this was a ridiculously dumb question?
Also, if I must have a prior version physically installed to do the upgrade, can I install Flex Builder 3 on a temp Windows machine, upgrade that to Flash Builder 4.5.x and then transfer the license to the MacBook? Seems like a very convoluted way of doing things but if that's the only way then I suppose I can go scrounge up a spare computer to do so. End Edit
Hi,
I just got a brand new MacBook Air which has Lion on it.
I have an unused boxed copy of Flex Builder 3.0 standard edition.
I tried to install 3.0 and of course I got an error along the lines of not compatible.
What I would like to do is upgrade to Flash Builder 4.5.
So the question is,
Can I buy the upgrade edition of Flash Builder 4.5 standard for Mac, then install that on my MacBook even if I don't have 3.0 installed to upgrade from?
Is it as simple of just supplying the seriel number from 3.0 when upgrading?
Thanks.

Changed the title to better reflect the situation.
Also added a blurb to the top.

Well, thought I should update just in case someone else has a similar thought.
I ran out of time to wait and it seemed I wasn't going to get a response so took the chance and bought the upgrade.
The install couldn't find any prior versions so just asked for the serial for Flex Builder 3.0.
After entering that in, it thankfully installed just fine.
Would have totally sucked if it didn't work and was forced to then buy the full version.
Anyhow, relieved it worked.
Regards.

Upgrading Flex Builder 3 Standard to Flash Builder 4 Premium

Hi there,
Purchased Flex Builder 3 Standard back in January. Came to enjoy (and depend on) the memory profiling functions in the beta 2.
Anyhow, Flash Builder 4 has been released, and I see there is no memory profiler in the Standard edition. I see some conflicting information out there regarding upgrades -- some (third party) websites say it's possible to upgrade Flex Builder 3 Standard to Flash Builder 4 Premium. Adobe's website says it's only possible to upgrade Standard -> Standard, and Premium -> Premium.
The costs to upgrade to Premium from Standard would be prohibitive; I'd have to purchase two separate upgrades and the price would go over $US1000. Am I able to upgrade to Premium using my Flex Builder 3 Standard purchase?
Thanks.

Hi,
I don't think that "downgrades" from FB3 Pro to FB4 Standard are officially supported. You might be able to negotiate with a Sales Rep to make an exception for you though, for a discounted price on a non-upgrade version of FB4 Standard.
Alternatively, if you have any interest in CS5 Web Premium (or have any Adobe products qualifying for a CS5 upgrade), FB4 Standard is included with that Suite now.

UTF-8 Problems in Flex Builder 3

I created locale properties files that contained characters
requiring UTF-8 encoding using Flex Builder 3 for Mac OS. Some of
the characters displayed incorrectly when viewed through the web
browser. Open the properties files with an editor (BBEdit) produced
a warning that the UTF-8 format was corrupted and the characters
did not display in BBEdit correctly. I fixed the format and
characters through BBEdit and found they worked and displayed as
expected. Opening the properties in Flex Builder 3 show the
characters correctly, but as soon as I saved the file from Flex
Builder the characters stopped displaying. BBEdit again showed the
UTF-8 format was corrupted.
Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this problem? Any
workarounds?

FB saves files as ISO-8859-1 by default. Right click file,
select Properties, then select "other" in the Text File Encoding
area, and then select UTF-8 there.

Problems using Vector in Flex Builder 3

I've been using Vector with no problems in Flash Builder Beta, but when I try the same thing in Flex Builder 3, the compiler throws a fit when I use it.
public function PuzzleEvent(type:String, pieces:Vector.<Sprite>, bubbles:Boolean=false, cancelable:Boolean=false)
//handle PuzzleEvent
The other strange thing is, Flex automatically adds this line when I use vector:
import __AS3__.vec.Vector;
An import shouldn't be necessary should it? Vector is in the top level package right? With or without that import statement, I get compile errors. Has anyone else had such problems with vector in Flex Builder?
Dan

The only way I was ever able to solve this problem was to use Flex builder Beta and now Flash Builder 4. I did target flash player 10.0.0, but I still never could get it to work. At least it works in Flash Builder 4.

Upgrade from Flex Builder 3 Professional to Flash Builder 4 Standard?

Hi,
I currently own a license to Flex Builder 3 Professional, and I would like to upgrade to Flash Builder 4 Standard. I do not need the extra features included in Flash Builder 4 Premium, and it costs three times as much as the Standard upgrade.
However, none of the upgrade pages say if my particular upgrade path is possible or not. I talked to a sales rep on the phone, and he thought it would be fine, but didn't know for sure. Can anyone give me the official word if it is possible to upgrade from FB3 Pro to FB4 Standard?

Hi,
I don't think that "downgrades" from FB3 Pro to FB4 Standard are officially supported. You might be able to negotiate with a Sales Rep to make an exception for you though, for a discounted price on a non-upgrade version of FB4 Standard.

Flex builder 3 debug and autocomplete problems

I have been working with Adobe Flex Builder for building Flash applications over a year. Recently I tried a few beta SDKs - 3.4 and 4.0. After playing arround with these SDKs and returning to a stable one (3.2) - Flex builder started causing some problems with autocomplete and debugging:
Autocomplete - when selecting class members from autocomplete - it usually clears all standard library import statements from the class. I started copying and remarking these import statements for retrieving them back after they are deleted.
Debug - it won't stop on most breakpoints (it used to before changing SDKs). Mostly it ignores my breakpoints.
I would love to hear any ideas about the cause and possible solution to these problems.

I think the problem you are experiencing is this one:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=511
You probably have Subclipse 1.2.4 installed, which is the
latest official release. But the new release based on Subversion
1.5 has been in development for over a year. It will be version
1.4.0 and probably released next week when Subversion 1.5 is
released.
