Flex Builder 3 error: This file cannot be launched

All of a sudden when I try to run my app from within Flex
Builder 3, I get a popup that says:
This file cannot be launched. I right click on my mxml file
and the option to set it as default is greyed out.
How can I make this error go away?
Thanks

I've filed a number of bugs about a lot of things :P
Part of the problem for me is that I am using Vista x64 and
there are known issues with Eclipse 3.3 and the Logitech SetPoint
drivers on that OS. Basically, in FB3 I get corrupted Property
Dialogs and Preferences (can't change key binds, or set compiler
config, etc.). It does work in Eclipse 3.4M4 with the plugin, but
then Design Mode doesn't work properly (images and style are
wrong), and that is unsupported by Adobe. So basically I switch
back and forth between the two whenever I need to access the
dialogs lol. Given that kind of situation, it is difficult to know
what is a propblem with my specific config, and what is a bug.
Generally one of the things I see is my embedded fonts start
showing up as errors when I hit compile, then I have to do a clean
build. CSS errors/warnings show up in the main mxml file instead of
the CSS file (at the CSS file's line numbers).
I've also seen issues where modules aren't saved to the
properties files properly. Lack of conditional compilation support
(debug versus release at the bare minimum) in FB3 is annoying
(though you can do it with ANT).

  • Launch Error - This file cannot be launched

    Hi all,
    I renamed a class file in a flash build and now every time I try to debug my project (cmd+F11) I get an error window saying Launch Error - This file cannot be launched.
    I have tried wiping the project and moving the files in to a new one and also restarting FB4 but with no luck. I have also tried setting up a brand new blank project and this will not launch either.
    The problem seems to only be with Flash projects as a new Flex project runs ok.
    I am running Flash Builder 4 , Flash CS5 on a Mac 10.6.4 and debugging in Google Chrome 7.0.517.41
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers

    There is no adl listed in my list of active processes in Activity Monitor. I have tried rebooting my machine, restarting all my software and projects and cleaning my projects. No luck yet.
    If I just switch to flash and run the fla directly it works fine so it must be Flex specific.
    Cheers for the suggestionsso far . Keep em coming if you have them

  • This file cannot be launched?

    I just started using Flash Builder Beta 2 today. I'm a newbie, so be gentle.
    I've been trying to use this tutorial from gotoandlearn.com http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play?id=114
    I followed along until 10:57 in the video, where I was supposed to test the file. The result was a very vague error, "This file cannot be launched".
    So, I tried using the original source files provided by the author of the video, and these produced the same negative results.
    Any ideas about what this error could be indicating?
    Thanks!

    You might be having problems with your build paths. How are you importing the com.transmote and org.libspark.flartoolkit packages into your path?? When you type:
    private var fm:FLARMana
    and hit "ctrl + space" do you get code completion??
    The easiest way to make sure your app has access to all the external libraries is to copy and paste these packages directly into your src folder.
    Import the attached zip file into FB and see if it runs.

  • HT1339 Error: This game cannot be launched. Ipod will not respond

    I have an error message on my iPod classic.  It states, Error:  This game cannot be launched.  And now my iPod wheel will not respond.  I am unable to shut it down or connect it to my iTunes.

    Try a hard reset.  This procedure does not erase any content stored on the device. It is similar to rebooting your PC.  To reset the iPod, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Publisher - pdf - "This file cannot be opened because it has no pages"

    Hi,
    I have a Publisher report which works fine as a single page when generated to pdf.
    I change the data model to give me multiple pages and insert the entire report content into a repeating frame which correlates with the header data that is definitely present for all records. ceteris parabus.
    I preview this in interactive mode - everything works okay.
    I preview this in pdf and I get the error; - "This file cannot be opened because it has no pages"
    This is on well formed XML with a very modest data set.
    Anyone have a fix or a pointer for this please??
    thanks,
    Robert.

  • There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found

    An automation script on one of our QA environments kept tripping on the error: "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found".  The same script ran fine against our Production servers (hint, which were "whitelisted").
    It took a little time to resolve/trace what was happening (but with the aid of ProcessMonitor and tracing all "pdf"-related file activity...)
    The problem lies squarely between McAfee (75%), Adobe (20%) and Microsoft (5%):
    NORMAL WORKFLOW.  IE (Internet Explorer) when popping a PDF document, has to (1) write the document to the IE cache, then (2) launching and "handing off" the document reference to the Adobe viewer (which might then be able to open the document, et al) -- assuming largely a "synchronous" workflow.
    BUT "WAIT", HOLD THE HORSES -- McAfee takes ownership and decides infact "wait for us" (during the workflow), it wants to first perform a virus scan on the document (ahead of writing the document to cache) involving potentially large latency (delay) before making the document available to the system. However, instead of "fessing up"-that their scan may be taking too long, McAfee appears to have taken their work "off-line" in violation of the sychronous interface above. I'm guessing the developers at McAfee might have been trying to hide any extra processing overhead being incurred by assuming they could somehow convert this to an "asychronous" event.  (This may also have more reach than just PDF's.)
    Unfortunately, the browser's "PDF OPEN"-dialog box pops allowing Adobe to launch-and-open the "as-yet-not-virus-scanned-and-thus-not-yet-cached"-document. Thus clicking the OPEN-button will cause the related "...FILE NOT FOUND"-error to be seen (because the file is still in McAfee "limbo").
    Note: If you close the ADOBE reader (but don't yet close the popup-OPEN-dialog) you can click OPEN a second time and it will probably now open the document - which McAfee finally finished scanning!
    You can observe all these interactions with ProcessMonitor, and use the monitored file states to adjust the timings of events to reproduce both the failure and non-failure scenarios.
    - Best Regards, Ziggy
    ps. My assessed distribution of "ownership" of the problem is because ALL these parties should be aggressively resolving this for the customer-base!

    What, exactly, were you trying to do when you got it, and how?

  • AIR, Acrobat/Reader XI 11.0.06 - There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found

    Hi,
    After Adobe Reader and Acrobat updated to v11.0.06 I've started getting the following error message when I try to load PDF file into my AIR application on Windows (Vista and 7) machines: "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found."
    I'm loading PDF just like it's been described in Flex/AIR documentation. HTMLLoader loads html that looks like: <html><body><object id="PDFObj" data="app:/pdfs/test.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="100%"></object></body></html>
    The file is in place and I've tried opening it from the Reader itself without any errors. When I uninstall Reader XI and install Reader X instead everything comes back to normal and the file is opened without an error.
    What was changed in the Acrobat/Reader 11.0.06 that it prevents PDFs from being opened from AIR application? Or was it changed even before 11.0.06?
    Kind regards,
    Roman

    Fyi, in addition to my earlier post, the other pc is using Adobe 8.1.1 and no other patch. I was trying to find 8.1.1 version but could not find a trust worthy site to load from. Do you think the error caused by using the 8.1.2 version? Thanks

  • Another "there was an error opening this document. this file cannot be found"-question

    Hello people, as the title suggests, i have another question regarding the "there was an error opening this document. this file cannot be found" error. I have searched on Google and on these forums but i havent found an answer to my particular case (sorry if i overlooked it).
    I work at a supportdesk for a company that uses Windows XP with Adobe Reader version 8.1.3.
    Users are getting this error when they access a PDF file placed on a (mapped) networkdrive. Contrary to some other cases i have found on this forum, spaces are handled without a problem. But a comma in the name of one of the folders that contain the PDF file are what causes this error.
    i.e.:
    Opening the following path results in the error:
    L:\X, Y & Z\adobe.pdf
    Removing the comma so the path becomes:
    L:\X Y & Z\adobe.pdf
    works just fine.
    So far our workaround has always been to simply remove the comma and move on, but I've been wondering why this comma is such a problem for Adobe Reader. As far as i know Adobe Reader is the only program we use that has this issue, M$ Word works just fine with it to name an example.
    To sum my questions up:
    - Why is comma (,) a problem for Adobe Reader?
    - Have i missed any patches/new versions where this issue has been addressed?
    - What is Adobe's stance on this, and are there any plans to "fix" this?

    Ok, nevermind, we just found the problem
    It's not Adobe Reader that is causing this, but another program the company uses to manage/distribute/authorise programs that users are allowed to access (Scense). I had never even considered another problem could have caused this for Reader.

  • Getting back the "this file cannot be played on an iPod" error message

    Apparently, my iTunes library contains some song files that are out-of-spec and unplayable on an iPod. When I first plugged in my iPod, I remember getting a message to the effect of "The file 'FOO' was not copied to the iPod 'BAR' because this file cannot be played on an iPod." This message repeated for several dozen files before I got annoyed and clicked the "Do not show me this message again" checkbox.
    Well, now I want to go through my iTunes library and clean up these incompatible files, so I WANT to see these error messages again. Is there any way, perhaps by mucking with the iTunes plist file, of getting them back?
    Any and all help appreciated. Thanks!

    I get the same message when I try to open a pdf attachment in my free AOL e-mail account. This problem just started today for some unknown reason. I have Adobe Reader 9 and never had a problem before. If I forward e-mails with a pdf attachment to my Road Runner account, I can open it with no problem. I can't seem to find any answers to this problem. Frustrating! HELP!!!

  • Get error message "this "**" file cannot be attached until the files already attached are finished uploading" even when attaching 1 file

    I attached multiples .pdf files to an email. Tried to attach the next file before the previous 1 finished attaching. Got error message "this "**" file cannot be attached until the files already attached are finished uploading". Was never able to attach that 1 file to the email that I received the error message for; was able to attach subsequent files to that same email & send it. Now, I often get the same error message, even if I only attach 1 file & esp. when attaching .ai or .jpeg files. What can I do to fix this problem?

    It looks like nobody has an answer for this despite of the 80 something views!
    And here i thought Adobe admin would be monitoring the forum, but surprisingly, they don't even have the answer for this!!!

    Hi Fiat Lux
    Thanks anyway but I have solved it.It wasn't any fault of Acrobar Reader as such. Everytime I run a microsoft remote desktop and access my main PC from my laptop it deletes the default printer status of my printer (on the main PC) and then when I want to run the above command Reader can't find a printer to use until I reinstate it as the default printer.
    Thanks anyway.
