Going back to Flash builder 4 on Mac because of the design view

I've got installed the Flash builder 4.6 in a Mountain Lion Mac.
I have imported a project that I did some years ago with Flex 3. Everything seems to be ok until I try to see the design view. I can't see anything, it is just empty. I know that it is not necessary but it helps me a lot.
I've been searching in this forum and my conclusion is that I've got to go back to Flash Builder 4.
I would be very grateful if anyone could help me with the next questions:
1- Can I work with Flas Builder 4 with my current serial from flash builder 4.6?
2- Should I uninstall 4.6 before using 4?
Thanks!

Hi Chris
Thanks for your reply.
I had already seen that post, and the answers were not applicable to me. But thankfully I have found the solution now!
I Googled the error message: "org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredElementImpl.getTextContent()Ljava/lang/ String", and came across the following bug report:
http://code.google.com/p/alkwarel/issues/detail?id=10
As suggested in the link above, I deleted the xerces.jar  located in user.home/Library/Java/Extensions/. I then cleaned my project, and FB4 for Mac finally exported the release build!
That bug has been annoying me for MONTHS. I'm so happy it's fixed now!
All the best,
Zabeen

  • Determining exact version of Flash Builder on Mac OS X

    What is the definitive means of determining the installed application version of Flash Builder on Mac OS X?
    I ask this because I see a version in the application info window (Finder) that doesn't match the version displayed in the Features pane of the Flash Builder Installation Details window (in the Flash Builder app).

    Hello,
    Apple is blocking older versions of Flash Player.  Please make sure you have the latest version installed to ensure you don't get the blocked plugin error.  You can download the latest version using the offline/standalone installer at the bottom of this page, Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac.

  • How to update the PHP Class Service back in Flash Builder 4

    I'm not sure if my post title makes any sense or not but let me explain.  I've been working on an application in Flash Builder 4 using the ZendFramework and PHP services and everything is work great. the problem I have is after I make changes to my services PHP class (edit php file that has my functions in it), how to I updated those functions in the Flash builder application?
    For example, I needed to pass a second object into one of my function in my PHP class and after I edited the file and saved it, I don't see the changes in the Flash builder 4 application. Is there a button I can run to update the PHP class back in Flash Builder?
    Thanks,
    John Baranowski

    How do you use Flash Builder to regenerate the code for the same PHP service I connected to prior? When I first connected to the PHP service Flash Builder automatically built a package with all kinds of actionscript functions in it. I added a function to my PHP Class file server side and I need help on how to update the package back in Flex to see my new function. Can anyone help me??

  • Flash Builder 4.7, eGit and the 'Label Decorations'

    Used 4.6 along with eGit and there were little arrows if you were pushes or pulls behing your remote tracking branch.
    Now with 4.7 they are gone. Looked it up under Preferences->Team->Git->Label Decorations->Text Decorations and the { branch_status} decoration was gone. Also it didn´t show anymore in "Add Variables". So I added it back in manually, but to no avail. Problem persists.
    Checked whether eGit was the problem with a clean install of Eclipse and eGit and there the little arrow decorations show. Thus it must be Flash Builder. Anyone had/has the same problem and a fix for it??? I´ve been looking and trying for hours to fix this.

    Figured it out. Don´t know where the egit installation came from but it was incompatible with fb 4.7.
    Added http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates
    to update sites, installed an update, now it works properly.

  • Is there anyway to change Info.plist settings and use Flash Builder 4.6 to package the iOS app?

    Hi there,
    I've tried to package my app with the latest Xcode 4.5 (version 19 Sep 2012) iOS 6 SDK, Flash Builder 4.6, Flex SDK 4.6 with Air 3.5 Beta overlay.
    and unzip the .ipa file and i found the following automated settings on the Info.plist file was wrong:
    <key>DTPlatformVersion</key>
            <string>5.1</string>
            <key>DTSDKBuild</key>
            <string>9B176</string>
            <key>DTSDKName</key>
            <string>iphoneos5.1</string>
    According to the Adobe specs, these settinsg are unchangeble, is there anyway to change these values to produce .ipa file that with iOS 6.0 settings with Flash Builder 4.6?
    I believe this cause the following appstore submission issue with the iPhone 5 4-inch display splash screen image [email protected]:
    Invalid Launch Image - You app contains a launch image with a size modifier that is only supported for apps built with the iOS 6.0 SDK or later.
    Many thanks,
    A

    Not everyone here was involved in the conversations that led up to this file, so here are some extra clues:
    In your AIR3.5 folder (or whatever you named the folder) is a lib folder. Inside that is the current adt.jar file. Rename that in case you have to go back to it, and drag the supplied adt.jar file into the lib folder. Now publish your app.
    You won't even need to quit Flash or Flash Builder.
    Once you have the new IPA, go through the usual upload steps to the App Store, using Application Loader, and the file should process ok in iTunes Connect. Note, you will be asked to provide iPhone 5 screenshots.

  • Do I need flash builder 4 to work with the flex sdk?

    Is it necessary to use flash builder 4 to work with the flex sdk?
    Can you build apps just using the open source flex sdk. If so are there tutorials and books on how to do so?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    No, you don't need Flash Builder to use the Flex SDK. If you download the SDK and unzip it, you'll find a 'bin' directory that has the mxmlc compiler in it. You can compile Actionscript or MXML files using that.
    ./mxmlc MyFlexApp.mxml
    If you are building an AIR application, you will use amxmlc
    ./amxmlc MyAIRFlexApp.mxml
    Then, launch your AIR application using adl
    ./adl.exe MyAIRFlexApp-app.xml
    Hope this helps,
    Joan

    Check Mail Preferences, Accounts tab. Select the account, then the Mailbox Behaviors tab. See if you have it set to Permanently erase deleted messages when: One week old. (or less)

    you convert your gif to a swf and you're not happy with the conversion?
    if yes, either look for different conversion software, check for info on your current conversion software or don't convert and load your gif into your swf:  http://creative-geeks.com/blog/2010/06/30/using-animating-gifs-in-flex-and-flash/

    Yes, flash builder 4 was the name given to what is effectively flex 4.
    This answer is, essentially wrong.
    Flex 4 is a Software Development Kit (SDK) that includes a compiler, a user interface framework, and a few other items.
    Flash Builder 4 is an IDE that can be used to develop Flex applications.  Flash Builder 4 can also be used to code ActionScript w/o any dependencies to the Flex Framework.
    Grizzzzzzzzzz wrote: 2. Are Flash Builder 4 and Flash CS4 the same ?
    No, Creative suite 4 is a software library consisting of many different programs
    This answer is much more correct; but for additional clarification:
    Flash Builder 4 is an IDE that programmers can use to develop applications for the Flash Platform.
    Flash Professional CS4 is an IDE that Designers can use to create time-line based animations for the Flash Platform.
    One is geared for designers; and another for programmers.  In theory they can be used to reach the same end point although I wouldn't want to do application programming in Flash Professional; nor would I Want to do design stuff in Flash Builder.

My friend does not use this icloud account since age only remember 1 password which i already try but iphone shown that " incorrect password" I checked on icloud ID and try to log in but it shown as " You Apple ID was disable for security reason. To enable your account must reset password" but so bad again, the email address that he used to create icloud ID also lock for security reason. May Apple Supporter please help reset it ASAP? I can verify that I am the iphone's owner, as it belong to company's phone.

    Have your company IT department get proof that the company was the
    original purchaser of the iPhone and visit a physical Apple store with
    proof of original purchase, proof that person is company representative,
    and the iPhone - Apple may be able to help. If no physical Apple store,
    contact Apple - you will still need the same items of proof.

    I have a component like the following and it completely crashes the design view in flex builder.I can see anything in the layout. Everything compliles fine and looks normal in the outline view. Any ideas whats wrong. If I remove the AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup's all looks fine
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    Nikos,
    When using grouped columns you should change the <mx:columns> to <mx:groupedColumns>, I ran this example in a sandbox app and it works fine.
    EXAMPLE:
    <mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="deals" displayItemsExpanded="true" dataProvider="{flatData}" width="100%" height="373"
            sortExpertMode="true" variableRowHeight="true" headerStyleName="smallHeader" editable="false" fontWeight="normal">
           <mx:groupedColumns>
                <mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn width="75">
                </mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn>
                <mx:AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup headerText="Client side">
                    <mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="customer" headerText="Mon Ref" width="60" editable="true" wordWrap="true" showDataTips="true" textAlign="center"/>

  • Do I need two separate licenses to be able to use Flash Builder on Mac and Windows?

    Does my Creative Cloud subscription allow me to install Flash Builder on both Mac and Windows machines?

    Hi,
    I know it has been a while since you replied to me. I tried it at the time and sadly it didnt work and I got frustrated and ignored it for a while. I have just tried what you suggested again and this is how it went:
    • I have connected both the AX and iMac via ethernet cables to the O2 box.
    • This time my iMac did detect the AX and it automatically opened the AirPort Utility window.
    • I followed your instructions on the setting and connected it to my existing network etc.
    • It asked to restart the AX.
    • After a long wait this message appear:
    "Airport Utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device after restarting.
    The settings for this Apple wireless device have been successfully updated, but there was a problem rejoining the wireless network or finding the Apple wireless device. You may need to select your network from the AirPort menu and try again."
    I tried this and now when I click Rescan in the AirPort utility it just says that it cannot detect any devices. And in the meantime the AX is still flashing orange.
    Do you think that the AX is faulty. Although it was functioning perfectly in my previous flat. I just don't understand how one minute the iMac detects it and the next it doesn't even though the settings have been supposable successfully updated. Very frustrating.
    Thanks for your time,

  • AS 3 project swf compiled in flash builder(on mac) does not run on windows 7 machine

    Hey there!!
    I have a as3 project that I'm building using flash builder 4.5. When I run or debug in FB it's fine, but when I move it to the windows 7 machine its going to live on nothing shows up. Not even the first function or any traces. I have tried to make the project into an air app but when I try to run it, the paths seem to be all messed up. I'm ok with dealing with the path issue later but for now and for testing I need to be able to just grab the swf that FB spits out and test it on the machine. Before you say use the flash ide the other developer uses only fb so if I can get it to work they will have to come to me everytime to compile if they just want to test something.
    Thanks
    Jorge

    ok guys get ready for this one!
    there where a couple of issues. yes it did help that i exported the project to the debug folder instead of  deploy folder we set up. but it still wasnt 100% right. so, one issue is that our asset swc was huge. we had everything under the sun in there. so, it would not compile correctly. how did i find this out you ask? i tried to run it in just the flash ide and it would compile so i knew something was super wrong. second, at some point somehow some of our text fields in the asset swc where converted to one of those new fangled tlf type text fields. we never added that swc to the compile path. somehow flash builder just ignored that and still built the swf but it mustve been corrupted to begin with.
    so the morale of the story keep an eye on your assets!!
