Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 Mac OS X Installer Error

I am trying to install Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 on an Intel Mac
running Mac OS X 10.4.11. When I open the installer, the first
screen (which allows you to select languages) works properly. The
second screen, however, does not load properly - I only see a black
background and white text that says "InstallAnywhere by
Macrovision", a thin white line by this, and a grayed-out "N".
There are no buttons or other text on this page.
Does anyone have this same problem? If so, are there any
fixes? I initially had this problem with Mac OS X 10.4.10.
Upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.11 did not fix the error. A similar
error also occurs when I try to install the demo version of Flex
Builder 2.
Thanks!

Thanks for sending the error log - that provides some good
clues. First of all, I want to ask you about the path listed as
/Users/admin/. Was admin a default user already on your machine, or
did you create and log in as a user named admin?
The installer is failing because it cannot create a folder
under the path /Users/admin/Documents/, whereas usually you should
have full access to that folder if the user named admin has normal
Admin rights.
Here are some suggestions for how you can remedy that:
1) run Apple's Disk Utility, run its Repair Permissions
option, and see if it repairs permissions on that Documents folder
2) manually delete any existing folder named
/Users/admin/Documents/Flex Builder 3/
3) try installing Flex Builder 3 again, after cleaning things
up in steps 1 and 2.
Failing that, try creating a new user on that machine, with
Admin rights, and then see if you can install Flex Builder 3 into
that user account.
Let me know how it goes,

Flex Builder Beta M4 uninstall failure

Anybody has any idea how to bypass this to get this POS
(piece of software) out of my system?

Hi Larry,
Thank you so much for your reply!
I am mainly using Flash Builder Beta 2 which like I said does install fine(using the stand alone version). In code mode it does crash sometimes, but is rare, it happens now and then, but what I really want to get working is the design view. i am new to flex, and would really like this to work.
when I go to the terminal
java - version
java version "1.6.0_15"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_15-b03-219)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.1-b02-90, mixed mode)
I did install java 1.5 for CodlFusion 9, turned out that I don't need it, well I think not. I was thinking about re installing Snow Leopard to see if I could get Flex working, but I have not yet done that. I have heard that others have flash builder or flex working in snow leopard, can you confirm this?
My laestest error log FlashBuilder beta 2:
http://hawaiiflash.net/flashBuilder_error.txt
for Flex 3:
http://hawaiiflash.net/flex3_error.txt
also I have http://hawaiiflash.net/Flex3.txt
now I did hear from somebody that since I have 2 different versions of java this is causing issue with Flex? should I un-install all prior versions of java and just leave the 1.6 version? I am not sure why this would cause flex to crash when in design mode?
Thank you so much for your help, I would love to get flex working in design mode, either flex 3 or flash builder`-`

Cannot run the samples in Flex Builde beta 3

The installation of Flex Builder finished OK. I did choose to
install Flash 9.0 in both IE and FF, but for some reason when going
to the examples it asks me to install Flesh 8.0. Even if I say yes
to th eprompt it doesn't display.
I have even re-installed the flas Active X manually and even
regieterd it as per instructions on the Installation of Flex
Builder 2.0 beta 3 page,, but still no luck...
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

P.S. I asked Chris Agruss (our build and installer guru)
about some
possible reasons why the Flash player installer might have
failed to
work for IE. I've attached his reply.
Rebecca - Adobe
Here are a few cases I know about where the ActiveX plugin
for FP won�t
be installed normally:
� IE is running at the time, and especially if activeX
has been run
� Outlook, or some other program that runs the IE
engine under the hood,
is running
� Older ActiveX version installed that needs some Dark
Magic, or
explicit uninstallation of some sort
In the first two cases, where IE is in use, the plugin will
normally be
installed after a reboot, but until then it will look as if
the
installation didn�t work.

Mac: Adobe Reader Installation error

I get the following error when trying to install Adobe Reader on my Mac (running OS X 10.8.4):
dyld: DYLD_environment variables being ignored because main executable
(/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Resources/runner) is setuid or setgid installer:
Package name is Adobe Reader XI (11.0.03) Installer: Installing at base path / installer: The install failed (The
Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for
assistance.)
Evidently the install process is running afoul of some security issue but I don't know how to work around the problem.
Would appreciate any pointers. Thanks.

I repaired disk permissions using Disk Utility. After that Acrobat Reader installed just fine.
That was what I was going to suggest.
"setuid or setgid installer" errors are ALWAYS permissions related.

Flex Builder 3 will not work on Mac

Flex Builder 3 & Mac OSX:
The hard disk on my mac failed, lost everything, including
Flex Builder 2. I installed a new hard disk, and downloaded the
"trial" of Flex Builder 3 (FB 3). The software seemed to install
fine(no errors in the install log).
However, when I run FB 3, the default front page does not
load, and tells me that the flash player as stopped because of a
un-safe operation. I think okay, that is fine, but I do like the
page with the links to the docs, and adobe resources. I try to
build an app, default just dragged a button on the stage, and
complied. However, the page does not compile. I only get the "grey"
page, with no button.
After this I re-installed the flash player (9.0.115), but
still no love. I have re-installed FB 3, but the same results.
I am using Mac OS X (power PC). Can anybody help me. I am a
student at the University of Hawaii, and I am teaching myself Flex.
I am thinking that the error might be with the flash player, and I
am trying to install flash CS3, thinking that if I can get the
stand alone flash player that way, maybe then this will work.
Please help,
John

Hi Michael,
Thanks so much for all your help!
I just installed FB 3 again, but still no love, yikes! I
don't get it FB 2 was painless,...
I have the same issues, and safari does not handle any flex
apps, just a blank(grey page). Can I ask a favor? Can you check
this link, a flex charting app. It can view it perfectly in Camino,
but just a blank page in safari. Could you check this link in
safari?
http://cfhawaii.com/Charts/DrillDownWithEffects.html
I also still get the can't find the debugger player.
Maybe I need to take a on-line course(bring that I am in
hawaii) to learn how to get everything set up.
I send a bug report to adobe, and I am hoping that somebody
gets back to me, and can help me fix the problems, as I couldn't
even registrar FB3, I want to start learning flex, not dealing with
this.
Thanks so much for all your help`-`

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.

Anyway I can download Flex Builder Pro 3?

Have a user that needs to reinstall and use Flex Builder Pro 3. Contacted Adobe support through chat 3 times with little to zero luck. Anyone have any ideas?

Flex Builder marking a sample code invalid "Access of undefines property"?

Hey,
I used the code from this link: http://tdotblog.info/?q=node/6
When i put it into Flex Builder 3, it has several issues with the code like "Access of undefined property FileStream" (or File).
When I run the application, only the typical gray background appears.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, Erthy

You probably just need to have import statements for these classes in your code:
import flash.filesystem.File;
import flash.filesystem.FileStream;
import flash.filesystem.FileMode;
It looks like whoever wrote that tutorial forgot to add those. If you were typing in the code rather than pasting it in, the import statements would get automatically added, so maybe the author just didn't notice that they were necessary.
Related Flex Builder tip:
If you get this error for any class, it means that the compiler can't find the class definition (which usually means you're missing an import statement). The easiest way to add the import statement is to put your cursor at the end of the class name (e.g. right after the word File) and hit Ctrl-Enter (on Windows -- probably Cmd-Enter on Mac). Ctrl-Enter is the shortcut to trigger a code hint, but if you trigger it that way it will recognize the class and just add the import statement for you.

Flex Builder 3 Flash package changed / incomplete?

Hi,
I have installed
Flexbuilder3_b2,
flex3sdk_b3 &
air_b3_win_sdk. I am having problems with the
flash.desktop package in Flex builder 3.
When I use the Help I can see that in Flex 3 flash.desktop
are package components flash.desktop.NativeDrag* but when I try to
use them in code it appears they are not in my flash.desktop
package. Have flash.desktop.NativeDrag* been replaced by
flash.desktop.Drag*? I refer specifically to
NativeDragManager, NativeDragActions, NativeDragOptions.
Also, I am trying to run an example project which also refers
to flash.desktop.NativeApplication thus:
import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.NETWORK_CHANGE,
checkNetworkConnection);
- but NativeApplication is not referred to in the Help as
part of flash.desktop & not available in the list of
components. Can anyone tell me what this has been replaced with?
Thanks in advance,
Ob

Hi, your Flex Builder beta 2 is out of sync with your SDKs.
You should upgrade to FB beta 3.
NativeApplication is now WindowedApplication, and NativeDrag*
is the current naming for those classes. Perhaps you are looking at
the beta 3 AIR help while compiling with the beta 2 SDK paired with
FB beta 2. Try bringing FB up to date.

Flex Builder vs. Mountain Lion

I use Flex Builder 3 on Mountain Lion OS. I can not run my application in builder. I press the run button, but nothing happens. (Under Lion it is okay). Someone's idea?

Huge differences! Two different tools, for two very different
jobs. Flex
Builder is built on the Eclipse platform and there fore can
be used to
design web sites - in code view, and with CF Eclipse, can be
used to develop
ColdFusion app quite nicely, but it is in no way a visual
development tool
like Dreamweaver. I'd encourage you to go to Adobe Labs and
download the
Flex Builder Beta 2 and dive in. There's a good chance you'll
want both
tools in your "tool box".

Flex Builder 3 installation hanging on Mac OS X Leopard

Hi,
Excited to get going with the tutorial. Slightly disappointed by the installation of the Flex Builder 3 on my Mac OS X Leopard installation. I followed all instructions, ensuring that I closed all my open apps beforehand. The installer has been sitting at the "Installing..." stage with the message "Please wait, Abdobe Flex Builder 3 is being configured for your system. This may take a moment...". It's been displaying that for 20 minutes now, so I think it's safe to say it's not going to come back.
Looking around for clues, I can see another windowtitled "Flash Player 9 Silent Installer" which has a 100% blue progress bar below a label "Iterms remaining to be installed: 0"
Recommendations anyone? Am I safe to force quit the installation and retry? All tips welcomed!
Stuart

It sounds like you have (or had... this was a month ago) the same problem as me. My solution is posted here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4052808
