How do I make Flash Builder use cuddled bracing?

Hi
Over the weekend I signed up to Creative Cloud on a 12 month subscription. My IDE of choice for around 7 years now has been FlashDevelop but since Flash Builder is one of the available applications on Creative Cloud I decided to download it and give it a try.
Upon opening the application, much to my horror I discovered that by default it uses next line bracing - a style I just do not like. No problem, I thought, I will just change the preferences to use cuddled bracing which is something every IDE on earth lets you do.
So it turns out there's no easy option in Flash Builder to do that. No tick-box, no drop-down. What you have instead is a bunch of templates that you can manually change to look the way you want.
The problem is, I've changed every ActionScript template and every file template to use cuddled bracing and yet when I create a new ActionScript project the damn thing STILL has next line bracing in the constructor. Just what does this application want from me?
Right now this is a deal-breaker for me and until this is fixed I won't even start a project using Flash Builder. Could someone please tell me what you have to do to get cuddled bracing enabled throughout?
Thanks

Hey man this plugin is great - thanks for the tip! I have it formatting my classes on save and it does an excellent job.
I still think Adobe should get their finger out and make it possible to control all this from inside Flash Builder though, since new classes are still formatted in a stupid manner until I make a change and hit save. If a freeware editor like FlashDevelop can do it, why can't a £500 editor?

  • How do I make Flash use the original Photoshop file, not a .png one?

    Hi, this might be kind of a basic question/problem but I can't seem get Google to help me. Since I've recently started out with Flash, I guess I just missed some newbie thing out, still very greatful for help though, since this'll soon be causing a brain hemorrage...
    Ok, here goes: 
    I'd like to draw key frames in Flash, just simple drawings/skelettons using the pen tool, basically to create the movement itself. After that, I want to export the frames that I drew as images to Photoshop in order to apply texture and colour, and then put them back into Flash again, without tampering with the Flash doc I've already created, since the animation is already done. I want the file(s) that I'm working with to remain the same files throughout the process, from Flash to Photoshop and back to Flash again, like the way InDesign works. Is this even possible?
    If this isn't possible at all, I guess the alternative is to draw in Photoshop and then import the drawings into Flash, put them in order and then make any eventual changes after you've created the animation in Flash, this is less smooth though still possible. But here emerges (sort of) the same problem:
    When I import images from Photoshop, create animation out of them, and then realize I have to make some changes in the original PS pic file I head back to PS to correct it. But it just doesn't work the way I want it to... If I modify the pic file in PS, then use the "update" alternative in Flash Library, Flash just tells me that the file can't be found, and does not update the image. If I choose the "edit in PS"-alternative from right clicking on a symbol that is in the library, the file opens as a .png file in PS, not as my original file! It seems to me that Flash is creating its own library, not using the existing document. Is there anyway to go around this? How do I make Flash use my PS file which allows me to change it as much as I want (as with InDesign)?
    This is driving me crazy, what I'm working on is supposed to be full HD, I can't use a freaking .png file... Gah!
    Very many Thanks in advance!
    (If anyone has any suggestion for alternative software, that's also very welcome!)

    If you start the artwork in Flash, you are starting with a vector drawing. If you export this art as a .png so that you can edit it in Photoshop, you will be translating the artwork to a bitmap image at a specific resolution. When you edit this .png in Photoshop, you can save it, as a .png, and then import that .png into Flash.
    After you import the .png, place it on the stage in a new layer. Position the new artwork over the old artwork. Then throw away the original artwork. Now, when you want to edit the artwork, go to the original file in the movie's Library and select Edit with Photoshop. When you save the file in Photoshop, the updated file will appear in the Flash movie.
    If you have Illustrator, you can export your original artwork as an Illustrator file. Then you can open this file in Illustrator, edit it, and save it. Then, as above, import the .ai file into Flash and toss out the original. Now you can edit the original file through the Library in your Flash movie.
    Alternately, you could start by creating the artwork in either Photoshop or Illustrator. Then import that art into Flash. Now you have a link to the editor for either file in your Library. This may simplify things.
    Working with Photoshop and/or .png files will give you a larger finished file than working with Illustrator files. In either case the finished resolution of the Flash movie will be the computer's screen resolution, 72 ppi.

  • How do I make flash animation?

    how do I make flash animation for websites with Abode Flash
    CS3? It will have static words with animation moving behind it.
    Example:
    http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/rescueme/#/home/
    exclusive video, about the crew, and cast and crew: all have
    video snippets moving when you mouse over it.

    I'm sorry, but this question is sort of like: "I bought a
    hammer, a saw and some wood, how do I make a rocking chair?"
    First step: open Flash and hit the F1 key. This will open up
    Flash's Help menu. Choose "Using Flash". Go through all the
    exercises. If you're impatient and want to skip ahead (I don't
    recommend it), go to the "Creating Animation" section. The
    explanations and tutorials are actually very well-written and easy
    to grasp.
    There is also a PDF file that comes installed with Flash
    called flash_cs3_help.pdf, which contains the same material.
    I could write out a paint-by-numbers tutorial for you here,
    but it would be pretty similar to what's in the Flash Help
    resources. Use them. Then if you get stuck on a specific detail,
    feel free to ask questions at this forum and people will be more
    than happy to help.

  • How do I make Flash not look like it's not responding?

    When I run a JSFL script that is pretty intensive and in depth, Flash opens up but doesn't draw itself, and lists "not responding" in the window title bar.
    My question is how can I make Flash look like it's alive (either have output show up in the output window, or have the stage update to the current frame that is navigated to from JSFL script, or put up some dialog box like the export movie progress bar)?  The script sometimes takes about 20-40 seconds to run and the user may think that it's actually crashed.
    I print out times of all my processes and functions, and eventually I get an output that seems reasonable. I thought printing output might help, but there doesn't seem to be a flush command for it that will force it to be written out.
    Thanks.

  • How to integrate the model build using Oracle10g

    Hi All,
    I am not getting an idea as how to integrate the model build using Oracle10g into existing application. Suppose i want to use the model then how to automate the whole process.

    Could you give more details on what you mean by the whole process? Do you mean how to use a model that was built or automate the building of a model?

  • How do you make PP CS5 use more allocated physical memory???

    As you know, you can go to Preferences > Memory and change the amount of RAM reserved for other applications.
    Now, I have 8 GB of RAM installed (Windows 7), and I have set my “RAM reserved for other applications” option to 1.5 GB. That leaves 6.5 GB of memory for Adobe AE, Pr, Encore and Media Encoder.
    Here’s the problem: every time when I’m rendering or exporting in Premiere, I can see through Task Manager that Premiere uses only 1.5 or 2.0 GB of the physical memory, not the 6.5 GB that I’ve allocated. I know the rest is reserved for other applications, but none of them are running at the moment. So, how can I make PP CS5 use more of all the physical memory that’s left?

    Memory management in CS5 is clever enough to use an amount of memory that minimizes the use of the page file and maximizes buffers, However that depends on the material in the project, the effects and transitions used, the export format and the hardware in use.
    There is no sense in using large amounts of memory, when other components cause waiting before the contents of memory can be offloaded. Just as it makes no sense to use a Ferrari in traffic jams.

  • How do I make a purchase using my Itunes account?

    How do I make a purchase using my Itunes account?
    Help any body.

    What happens when you click on the price button, what prompts/messages appear ? If you have a balance on your account then that will automatically be used for the purchase, you can't specify how items are charged.
    If when clicking on the price button you are being prompted to review and log into the account then unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method  - Apple Suppor…
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If that is what is happening then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you review your account without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
    If not then try entering your card's details, it shouldn't be charged (apart from a temporary store holding charge which your card issuer should remove within a few days or so), and you should be able to remove the card after entering it.

    We started with new mobile project, and the project has grown. Today, our team has difficulties to work with Flash Builder:
    - have to divide 'big' library into multiple little libraries
    - open a class can makes 30 second to open
    - compile the project with all libraries opened is simply impossible,
    - simply use Flash builder to work get around 8Go of RAM very quickly (need to reboot Flash builder every 30 minutes)
    Adobe, how my team can works with Flash Builder ?
    We are very impacted with Flash builder, we can't work normally, it's a big problem fos us today, and we don't have a new version planned ?

    i only have 4 small tutorial projects.  the projects are small, one is simply a hello world project.  the projects are based on the flash builder in a week projects.  the projects are very small; only minor tutorial projects.
    any thoughts on how i can tweak flashbuilder to run faster.  I dont have any other programs that run this slow.

  • How do i make flash work with FF26 and Win8.1?

    I understand that Windows 8.1 is now controlling Adobe Flash, but have been unable to find a way to make Flash work in FF26. All I find is a bunch of fingerpointing from each company at one of the other companies involved. There is no comprehensive explanation and nothing from any of the three to indicate a fix for the problem.
    What is going on? When is the problem going to be fixed or how do I fix it now.
    FF is the only browser I want to use, not IE.
    Please post something concerning FF stance and/or solution to being held captive by IE!

    OK, well I finally figured out how to make it work.
    Windows 8.1 would not update Flash, as it said it didn't need to be updated.
    In FF when you tried to install the plugin for Flash, Windows would block.
    I had tried to install the downloaded .exe version of flash but that was also blocked from installing, so I tried the .msi version of the plugin version of flash, and low and behold it loaded and flash now works in FF26.
    You need to download the plugin-based version with the .msi extension, make sure FF is not running before install.
    The link to the correct Adobe page is:

    Can somebody help me?
    Should I manually connect as3lib to my app? How?
    I am a newbie to Flash Builder.
    Maybe someone could compile this example app so that I could use the result?
    Thank you in advance!

    The crypto libraries work ok on the desktop but don't work in Android because some classes like MD5 for example don't run on the mobile version. I had the same problem running a SWF a webview. It used the MD5 and SHA1 classes that don't work in Flash Lite or even Flash Player 11 for Android.
    You could try posting what you need to encrypt to a server and use the response. I suggest you use a PHP-specific encryption library. If you really really want to use the crypto library. You could publish a SWF file that does the encoding then saves the output to a web server file then have your app read that file but it's slow.

  • How do you connect Flash Builder to a NON-LOCAL PHP Server?

    Is it possible to connect Flash Builder 4 to a non-local PHP Server?  In my case, I want to connect to a PHP server on my web-host (similar to GoDaddy).
    This seems like a really stupid question, but every single tutorial or forum post I've Googled in the past 2 hours talk about how easy this is but all of them use "...localhost..." in the Root URL and I can't find anywhere in Flash Builder to enter FTP style credientals!
    I do not want to turn my PC into a PHP/SQL/IIS server.  I want to be able to do all of my work remotely as I do with Dreamweaver. 
    I've been trying to do this one simple thing for the better part of 2 days and can't believe how under-documented this feature is.
    Please please please help!
    Thanks

    Upload your services to a directory on your host, upload your remoting app (Zend AMF etc) and configure it, then change the end point in your code to the gateway.php on your server:
    yourService.endpoint = "http://www.yoururl.com/pathway-to-your/gateway.php";
    For instance, one of mine are:
    protected function updateButton_Click(event:MouseEvent):void
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    support_Requests.ticket_id = supportGrid.selectedItem.ticket_id;
                    support_Requests.hub = supportGrid.selectedItem.hub;
                    support_Requests.username = supportGrid.selectedItem.username;
                    support_Requests.contactNumber = supportGrid.selectedItem.contactNumber;
                    support_Requests.email = supportGrid.selectedItem.email;
                    support_Requests.request = supportGrid.selectedItem.request;
                    support_Requests.status = statusButtons.selectedValue.toString();
                    support_Requests.note = noteUpdate.text;
                    supportRequestsService.endpoint = "http://www.not-telling-you-my-url/app-resources/gateway.php";
                    updateSupport_RequestsResult.token = supportRequestsService.updateSupport_Requests(support_Requests);

  • How can I install flash builder 4.7 silently.

    hi,
    I need to install more than a hundred software at a time. So I need to install every software silently.
    1. Could you tell me if there are some varialbes to install Flashbuilder silently, without the clicking the "Install" or "Try" button at first, the following "accept" button , typing the "serial number"  and the "adobe account"?
    2.Our company bought the license, so the way I can use this software is to download the trial version and then click the install button and type the license, is that correct？
    Or is there other ways to use FlashBuilder?
    Thank you in advance!
    Looking forward to your reply!
