Illustrator with Adoble extension Builder. Urgent
I'm creating a extension that open links in a web but I've problems to develop it:
-How can I detect when the user open or change the document in illustrator from my javascript?
I supose that I must use addEventListener but I can't do that.
Do you have a list of events that can cacth from js?
- In my case, I use the extension to open some url and the user must login in it before. I use cookies for remember the user but when close Illustrator and open again don't save it. What can I do? It's a bug?
These questions are very important for me becouse is for a great client (about more than 300 licences in a year) here in Spain. He is very interested in illustrator CC but must see then extension in a month for continue the development
I need a solution as soon as posible. If all works fine I'll contact with Adobe in a near future to see the colaboration.
Could you give me some sample or link to source code? I need our help.
Best Regards and tahk you for all.

Performance of dialogs built with CS Extension Builder in Windows XP
Are there any known performance issues with dialogs created with extension builder in Creative Suite applications (specifically InDesign) running on Windows XP? I created a plugin, and whenever the dialogs are loaded on a machine running Windows XP, they consistently take about 9 seconds to load. When I run on Windows 7, they load almost instantly. This happens on machines running the same hardware.
We haven't figured this one out yet, but we have determined that it only happens in InDesign Relase. In Debug, the dialogs appear immediately.

Is there a way to create 'Book Color's with CS Extension Builder?
Dear all
Is there a way to add a spot color with color mode "Book Color" as those from the swatch libary, the PANTONE color book for example.
I see those Book Colors have fixed Lab Values and cannot be changed. So they would be fixed for the user.
Is there a way to do this?
thanks

One thought is to do a pre- or post-build action VI that exports all of the revs (like you see in VI props>>revision) for the discrete VI's in the project . You can set it to increment the rev every time the VI is saved. If the revs are the same you know nothing has changed but if they're different you won't know if the thing that's changed is significant.
Another thought is maybe TortoiseSVN or similar could keep track of what's-changed-and-why for you but I've never use it.
While that would serve the purpose of showing that the source hasn't changed (although I'm not so sure that relying onrev numbers is the best way to go about it - CRC check per file is probably better), it still doesn't gurantee that the build works.
I just think that the whole process probably burns up several thousand dollars worth of unnecessary testing, V&V and paperwork.

Is it possible to connect Adobe Illustrator with my application?
I have an application that creates 3D objects from 2D sketches and visualises these 3D objects using OpenGL. For example you pass it 2D square it creates a cube, if you pass it a circle it creates a sphere. These 3D objects can be rotated, moved, changed color, also the view(camera) can also be rotated, zoomed.
Is it possible to create a plugin for Adobe Illustrator to pass its 2D sketches into my application? May be I can embed my application into Adobe Illustrator? How can I do this?
Example. In Adobe Illustrator I draw some 2D geometry: squeares, circles etc. Then I press a button "Move to 3D". Then the 2D data is transfered into my 3D application and gets processed. After this user see 3D objects into a 3D scene and can manipulate them.Hi Geotavros,
You can have panels in Illustrator that take their content from native Windows or Mac components so you should be able to display the same rendering components that you use in your application in an Illustrator Panel. I would suggest looking at the EmptyPanel sample as a starting point as this shows how to create a panel that uses native components. You should be able to change this sample so that it displays OpenGL and then work from there. Panels are dockable so it sounds to me like that might fit your needs well.
If you still find that you need some IPC I would suggest using the CS Communication toolkit which is provided with CS Extension Builder 2.0 it has a C++ (and actionscript) library that makes sending and receiving messages to the CS applications easier. Along with some convience functions for starting up the CS applications.
I hope that helps,
Let me know if you have any questions,
Thanks,

CS5 Extension Builder and Indesign Server ?
Hello,
Is it possible to write an extension with CS5 Extension Builder for Indesign Server? It works fine with Indesign Desktop for me, but I'm ot sure for the Server version. Spend time to search on the web, without results.Just found this note in "indesign_cs5_server_scripting_guide.pdf" : You can use the ExtendScript Toolkit to create JavaScript scripts explicitly for InDesign Server, or you can use the Creative Suite Extension Builder (CS Extension Builder) to develop CS extensions in ActionScript. CS extensions are Flash-based (SWF) and can potentially work in a variety of Creative Suite applications.
Many thanks in advance,
DavidHello,
Thanks a lot for the answer. This is not good news for us, but again, thanks for the answer.
In few words, we are a leading French software editor (www.perigee.fr). Our software is a database that works with Indesign (using a C++ plugin), and manage pictures, text blocs, tables from PIM & DAM mgt.
We are working on a brand new software suite that will be based on both Indesign and Indesign Server. We intend to develop the Indesign UI in ActionScript and CS5 Extension Builder.
On the model side, we need something that works as well on both platforms. We tested several solutions (C++, Javascript) so far but we came to the conclusion that it would be ideal to use ActionScript.
If there is no solution for AS and Indesign Server, we'll have to mix four programming languages in our solution (Java, C++, ActionScript and some JavaScript). Alternatively we could delay part of our project depending on the availability of AS on Indesign Server.
We really like ActionScript and CS5 Extension Builder, and hopefully a solution to stay on our preferred languages: ActionScript and Java.
We also explored the full Java/Corba option but it is not supported on the non-server side. And, again, we believe that ActionScript is the best solution.
I hope our problem is clearer now.
Do you see anything we may have missed?
Thanks in advance for your answer!

How do I install and build and extension with extension builder 2.1?
Honestly, I am beyond frustrated right now.
1. Extension Builder 3 - This will only install and run with Eclipse. JRE 1.7.
This only allows me to use Extendscript to write scripts with. Extendscript is so frustrating to use. It seems like there are a lot of missing properties for working with color models in illustrator. The documentation is also terrible for Extendscript. Something that seems like it would be simple to do like export an RGB JPEG is impossible to spec out in the EXPORT JPEG settings. Its also impossible to set the color space of a NEW AI document unless you use the add(); instead of addDocument(); There are conflicting incomplete properties of both methods. If you use one, one set of settings is missing if you use the other another set is missing... WHAT IS SOMEONE SUPPOSED TO DO???
2. Flash Builder 4.7 will not run Extension Builder 3.
3. I bought Extension Builder 2.1 which is supposed to install Flash Builder 4.6, but the installation keeps failing right at the end. This apparently also requires that you use JRE 1.6 which is not compatible with Mavericks.
This all seems impossible... how in the heck are people learning how to do build extensions, its a surprise that any exist at all. If they do They are likely not building them with the Adobe tools. I know enough about code to be dangerous but don't have a doctorate in troubleshooting all of these compatibility, and documentation issues.
All I want to do is write an extension, or a script that allows me to
1. copy the art from two layers.
2. color the background of the AI document to the background color of the original document
3. resize art from both layers to fit on a 216 x 216 pixel square.
4. Save the document as a: JPEG - ANTI-ALIAS SUPER SAMPLED - 150 DPI - RGB - MEDIUM QUALITY - CLIP TO ARTBOARD - WITH THE SAME NAME AS THE ORIGINAL FILE
I AM AT MY WITS END WITH THIS WHOLE PROCESS. I AM ABOUT TO GIVE UP UNLESS SOMEONE CAN HELP GIVE ME A LITTLE INSIGHT.Hi,
First of all, remember that Extension Builder 2.1 only supports building Flash based extensions which have been phased out. If you are building extensions for Creative Cloud and beyond, you should use HTML5. See more info here: Introducing HTML5 extensions | Adobe Developer Connection
The installation is probably failing because you have some leftovers from a previous installation. The installer will detect if you have Flash Builder 4.5 or Flash Builder 4.6 installed (NOT Flash Builder 4.7). If it finds that you have Flash Builder 4.5/4.6 installed, it will attempt to install the plugin on top of it. If it does not detect Flash Builder 4.5/4.6, it will install Flash Builder 4.6 Premium.
I highly recommend you look into the new HTML5 extensibility. Here you can find tons of resources: Adobe CEP Resources by Adobe-CEP

Photoshop cc 2014 with Extension Builder 3 not working properly.
I can't get even the most basic panel to work in CC 2014. I have created a Default Extension Builder project in eclipse. I then follow this instructions Adobe Extension Builder and Creative Cloud 2014, but when I try to debug it, it doesn't work. The panel shows up (with nothing in it) but says "Cannot complete command because the extension could not be loaded."
I have created an extension for CC, then changing everything according to the link above, tried to start it in CC 2014 I get the same error, even though it worked in CC.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem or what is causing it?
If not, could anyone provide me with an empty panel project made in Extension Builder that works for you, so that I can maybe figure out what the differences are.
Regards,

Having a problem with Flash Builder and Extension Builder - images not apearing on Mac system
Have a panel created in Flash Builder 4.5 with Extension Builder 2.1. Everything is fine when installed on a PC but when installed on a Mac the images in the panel do not show.
Mac and PC both using Adobe Photoshop CC . Both installed from same .ZXP file using Adobe Extension Manager CC.
Any ideas?No I used relative path - the path is images/image name
example images/cRight.png
tried downloading Extension Builder 2.1 and compiling on Mac but still have same results - images show up fine in design window , but not when running panel in Photoshop
Created a new project: testImage
added an image component to form
answered yes to add asset to project
ran project
image did not show up in Photoshop
went back to project
checked item Embed under Common image properties
ran project and image shows up
Looks like it works if I add @Embed("assets/image name") on Mac to display images
tried in my real project:
Looks like it works if I add @Embed("images/image name") on Mac to display images
When I change this on PC to @Embed("images/image name") images do not show Up
Don't know if I need to create two versions one for Mac one for PC
Don't know how this would affect product on Adobe Exchange -

2° CleanUp all registry for "Extension Builder", "ExtensionBuilder", "Extension_Builder", "Flash Builder", "FlashBuilder" and "Flash_Builder", after this, CCleaner...
3° Install, error:
4° Link file? Interesting, look in depth... Try install manually:

6° Ok, maybe work, because i never use this classes, so look more if i have serial number, oh! I Have serial number for my Extension Builder 2.1! @_@
7° A light at the end of the tunnel! Insert in Flash Builder and...
You just fu** kidding of me... -
I have codes a lot of stuff using Extension Builder 2.1 using Flash technology to be compatible with Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC.
There are speculations, that the support for this would be removed in Photoshop CC. This would destroy my investment in this code and my customers would not be able to use my products anymore, when they are using Photoshop CC.
Is there any workaround planed for customers using Photoshop CC to be able to run extension build with Extension Builder 2.1 and Flashbuilder 2.6 also in the future?Can you supply a link?

Hi Team,
We are facing the following error when running the nightly ant build script on Mac machine for our air mobile application. We are using iOS native extensions and package with ADT. This works fine when we run the build as local user in the Mac machine. Earlier we faced some issues due to headless build and we have added the <headless-server>true</headless-server> in corresponding config files (flex-config.xml, airmobile-config.xml). After that we are facing the following error, even when we run the ant build in headless mode using the following command.
ant -Djava.awt.headless=true -f build.xml buildPackage
When running this build as local user in the Mac build machine, we see a window opening with com.adobe.air.ADT while packaging. This is the issue when running nightly build as there is no graphics window.
Can anybody please help how to get rid of this issue for nightly build using adt,jar?
Here is the error from build log:

Thanks,
Swathi.Note: Before the above error that were two other errors .
1) The build complained that the adt-bundle-linux toolchain could not be found and required that it be added to .mozconfig. This was done.
2) The build complained that dx could not be found.
The configure file was edited and the values $DX, $AAPT and $AIDL were all set to the adt-bundle-linux/sdk/build-tools/android-4.4 path.
The instructions given on the Mozilla Wiki did not work right for Android and several modifications were made to move it along. But this permission error is tough to figure out. -
InDesign Panels created with Extension Builder 3 get collapsed upon relaunch of InDesign
InDesign Panels created with Extension Builder 3 get collapsed upon relaunch of InDesign and you have to corner drag them open to see the panel. This bug is very annoying. Does anyone know a work around?
I found how to fix this.
There is a hidden XML file called manifest.xml located in you project folder here:
../.staged-extension/CSXS/manifest.xml
In that file there is a section called <Geometry>
By default there is an entry for size. You can add sections for min and max panel size values.
<MaxSize>
<Height>enter max height size here</Height>
<Width>enter max width size here</Width>
</MaxSize>
<MinSize>
<Height>enter min height size here</Height>
<Width>enter min width size here</Width>

Is there any way to use Adobe Extension Builder with After Effects?
I have been using Script UI and Javascript within the ExtendScript Toolkit to build panels for After Effects CC, but I like the way the Adobe Extension Builder works with Eclipse, and the power of including external libraries like JQuery. Is there any route to build extensions for After Effects with this or some similar solution?
Hi Hallgrimur,
I was checking the documentation for CC14 Extension SDK and found that the HTML5 extension development is available now for After Effects too. I could not find any update of Extension Builder though which would support the After Effects extension development. While searching I came across this thread, so was wondering if you might have any update on how to go about with the HTML5 extension development for After Effects. Thanks a lot in advance.
