Import new Device Configurations in Flash Builder 4.6

In Flash Builder 4.5, there is a button on the Preferences>Flash Builder>Device Configuration panel to import new devices from a database. That button is gone in Flash Builder 4.6. Is there a way to import new device configuration in Flash Builder 4.6 without typing in the information manually?

Did you find an answer to this?

Importing Flex 2 projects in Flash Builder 4.5

I have a decent amount of Flash/ActionScript experience, but I'm brand new to both Flex and Flash Builder... so apologies for asking a potentially stupid question.
I just received a Flex project from a client, and I assumed I'd be able to work on it with my recent install of Flash Builder 4.5
But when I go to File > Import Flash Builder Project and navigate to the Project folder, I just get a warning that says:
“The folder does not contain a valid Flash Builder Project.”
I think this project might have originally been developed in Flex 2. Am I doing something wrong, or is it normal to not be able to import older Flex projects into Flash Builder? If Flash Builder can't import old Flex projects, what's the recommended workaround?

dont import it, do it from scratch in fb4

RDS Server Configuration In Flash Builder

Can someone please help me configure RDS Server In Flash Builder? I would greatly appreciate it
sbliss

Hi,
If you are using the new Data Centric RAD feature in Flash Builder, the RDS configuration should be taken care by itself.
However, for a CF server your RDS information should look like this:
Window->Preferences->RDS Configuration->New
Description: RDSConfig
Host Name: localhost(subject to where the server runs)
Port No: 8501(actual port where server is running)
Under Security information provide the RDS UserName and password given while installing the server and click 'Test Connection'.
You should see a success message if all is well.
For BlazeDS it should look like:
Description: MyBlazeRDS
Host Name: 8400
Context Root: blazeds
and click Test Connection.
Hope it helps!
Please mail me to balajs AT adobe DOT com in case you encounter any issues.
Thanks,
Balaji

Flash will no longer be supported for mobile devices. Is Flash Builder also going to stop building m

Flash, specifcally mobile Flash, was effectively sentenced to death a while back. The first inklings came when Abode put out their own non-Flash media tool “Edge,” and then was confirmed when the company dropped 750 employees and halted all development of mobile versions of Flash, ostensibly forever. It’s not until now, however, that we’re seeing Flash really start to crumble. Android, once open to the protocol, will no longer be supporting Adobe Flash with its newest version, Jelly Bean.
What is the faith of Flash Builder? PC apps only?

Yes Flash is no longer supported in the browser...   I am a Flash Developer and I think this is a good thing. I personally believe that Browsers in general on mobile devices will die a slow death.
Have you tried using them ... no matter what device you choose and how good the browser is, the experience is horrendous. Flash running in the browser on a smartphone is painful.
Browsers will be replaced by apps.
Let me give you an example.
I was upgrading the OS on my daughters iPod Touch Devices and noticed that their Safari Browser was in a folder called "Junk" along with the compassVoice MemosNews Stand, Stocks, etc.
I asked them "Why is your browser in a folder labeled Junk and how do you find anything online? "
Their response
"If I need to look anything up I search in the App Store"
Example: Daughter needs a Dictionary to do her homework... she wont go to www.dictionary.com   she opens up her app store and downloads a dictionary app.
I see the app stores as the new Google.
The beauty of this is that us developers can sadnbox our experience and deliver it in whatever technology we choose to. We no longer care if Browser A supports Flash or which browser supports which HTML tag.
I have a 3 yr old son .. and I am convinced he will one day say to me.   " Dad... I cant believe you used to have to type WWW dot bla bla bla    SLASH bla bla bla SLASH bla bla bla   "

The new context-help in Flash Builder 4.5 is horrible... anyway to change it back to FB3?

See the picture below: (you will have to click it to see it better, because the Forum doesn't show it properly)
Problem number 1: at Debug Time, I do not see a tooltip with the value of "Credits", even though it is a PUBLIC VARIABLE inside the Player Class. It is NOT even a property! In Flex Builder 3 all accessible members had their values indicated at Debug Time. In Flash Builder 4.5, they broke it and instead of seeing the value of Credits, I see that stupid tooltip which helps at exactly nothing.
Problem number 2: these hover tooltips appear way too fast. As soon as my mouse floats over practically anything in the code, I get that annoying huge tooltip. I tried to find an option which configures the delay with which that hover tooltip should appear, but I found no such configuration option.
I hope somebody can help me with some suggestions.
Thank you in advance.

You can disable the asdoc hover by toggling Preferences -> Flash Builder -> Editors -> ActionScript Code -> Show in text hovers.

Can't import fl.transitions.tween in Flash Builder 4

Hi,
I'm running Flash Builder 4 that came with my Adobe Master Suite CS5 group of software. I'm new to ActionScript and learning. I'm trying to implement a flip animation that uses the following packages:
fl.transitions.Tween
fl.transitions.TweenEvent
fl.transitions.easing.Strong
but I'm getting compiler errors for each of those lines:
1172: Definition fl.transitions:Tween could not be found.
1172: Definition fl.transitions:TweenEvent could not be found.
1172: Definition fl.transitions.eashing:Strong could not be found.
I found some references other people discussed regarding CS3, but I'm on cs5 (and this machine never had cs3 installed, I started with cs4 and upgraded to cs5).
Do I need to explicitely tell Flash Builder where to find these packages?
Are they not standard to the Flash Builder 4.0 Standard build?
Any suggestions/help you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kamala

1. fl package comes with Flash IDE. If you need to use them with any other environment/compilers - map to corresponding swc (you will nee to find it)
2. Flash Tween is a pretty badly written engine. I suggest you look into thrid party engines like TweenLite/TweenMax - it is very good and much easier to use.

Flash builder 4.7 debug via usb device iPhone 4s - device not found

I cannot find my iphone 4s while trying to debug via usb =(
i exported ipa and installed it via itunes - this works. but i would love to debug on device.
im using actionscript mobile project air 3.4
im using windows 7
==================offtopic====================
also how do i add icons for iphone?
Thank you for your time! Cheers!

Hi ,
Please provide more info on the above issue:
1.What is the message shown when you try to debug the application via USB on iOS device ?
2.Are you able to debug on other iOS devices ?
Run this below command from commandline :
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 (64 Bit)\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.348139\AIRSDK\lib \aot\bin\iOSBin\idb.exe" -devices
Note:Make sure your device is connected to the machine.
The above command should list all the iOS devices connected to the machine. If a single device is connected,Flash Builder installs application on device and waits for debugger connection. If multiple devices are connected, choose device dialog will be shown.
Thanks,
Sanjay

How to easily get an Adobe Flash CS5.5 Professional project into Flash Builder 4.5?

Hey all,
I am new and trying to do the following, can you please guide/help me do it:
I have a video chat application that is done on Adobe Flash CS5.5. I had the problem of "echo" so I wanted to use "getEnhancedMicrophone()". When I replaced "getMicrophone()" with "getEnhancedMicrophone()", Adobe Flash CS5.5 Professional didn't recognize it. I knew I need Flex, so I installed Flash Builder. And then got lost. What I simply want is just import my "FLA" file (or if I need to convert it to something else using a specific tool, let me know.. I have Adobe Flash CS5.5 Professional and can install other required applications if needed) done on Adobe CS5.5, into Flash Builder, and then "support Flex" so that I compile with the flash-version argument required.
I am totally new to MXML and Flash Builder, and even Flex. I don't know how to import a FLA and add "Flex" libraries into it simply to make "getEnhancedMicrophone()" work without the need to recreate the whole thing on Flash Builder. Can you guide me please? The output is for a web SWF file, not a desktop application.
Thanks!

I have the same problem here. I'm trying to do a stick animation on cs6, but to be more precise, i need to actually draw with a larger brush size. I suggest using the pen tool with the smooth option on. You can't see exactly where the stroke will be, but its better than nothing, and it more or less acts like the brush anyway.

Flash Builder 4.6 Mac OS X Subclipse support

I'm having a tough time getting Subclipse 1.8.x installed on Flash Builder 4.6 on Mac OS X 10.7.2, and having a tough time finding straight answers. Can anyone verify that Subclipse 1.8.x does not install/work on this configuration? If Subclipse 1.8.x doesn't work, what versions of Subclipse do work?
The main stumbling block seems to be that SVNKit doesn't appear for installation on the Install New Software… option in Flash Builder. This is needed since JavaHL does not work for Subclipse on the Mac.
For the record, I'm roughly following the installation directions from here, but substituting http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x for the server site:
http://blogs.adobe.com/jasonsj/2010/03/installing_subclipse_in_flash_builder_4.html
According to this informal message, svnkit is not yet compatible with Subclipse 1.8:
http://svn.haxx.se/subusers/archive-2011-10/0066.shtml
My goal is to get a built-in svn client that works with subversion 1.7.x. If there are alternatives, please let me know!

OK, the latest SVNKit only support Subversion 1.6.5 (http://svnkit.com/documentation.html), so Subclipse 1.6 is the latest version supported.
Rats. I'll have to use a separate svn client just to work with Subversion 1.7 repositories.

Running a Captive Runtime debug build through flash builder

Is there a way to launch a debug configuration through Flash Builder that has the captive run time built in?
I am developing and testing an app for android devices that do not have the newest version of the Air Runtime, some of the devices require captive runtime because they cannot upgrade. I need to be able to launch the app on these devices AND get debug/console information from flash builder for identifying defects.
any ideas?

Hey Wright,
Captive Runtime can only be used at export release build time.
Hence you cannot debug the application with captive runtime bundled.
Thanks,
Hari

Round trip between Flash Builder and Catalyst?

Is it, or will it, be possible to go back to Flash Catalyst once a project as been brought into Flash Builder?
I have imported the .fxp project into Flash Builder, made some code changes, then exported a .fxp project out again. I want to be able to edit this in Catalyst so I can make design changes, but when I try to open the project Catalyst says it cannot be opened becuase it has been edited outside of the application. Is there something I am missing or has this simply not been implemented yet?
It would be a shame to not be able to "round trip" from Catalyst to Builder.
Thanks for your time and the product looks very exciting.

Hi Watern,
For the first version of Catalyst, we're focusing on the one-way workflow from Catalyst to Builder (start in Catalyst, finish in Builder). We realize this is a big limitation and hope to address soon after the first release.
There are a number of partial solutions for this problem, which you can find by searching around the forum. Most of them involve dividing the work between Catalyst and Flash Builder as cleanly as possible, which is surprisingly easy to do given the new skinning architecture. Here's an excerpt from a post I wrote that seems to have been lost:
"If you are iterating between Catalyst and Builder on a custom component, you may find it is worth splitting the custom component out in that fashion. I'm planning to write an article explaining this, but here's a preview:
In Builder, create a new subclass of SkinnableComponent. Put the component logic in there.
If you need to add visual logic like "now move the konfabulator 10px to the left", you should make konfabulator a skin part, using the metadata (see Scrollbar.as, in the Flex 4 SDK, for an example).
If your component has states, declare them with the metadata.
In Catalyst, make sure that your custom component has those parts and states.
Then import the custom component into Builder.
In the MXML file for the custom component, change the root tag <Group> to <Skin>. It's now a skin (not a custom component).
In the MXML file for the skin, add the [HostComponent("com.me.MyComponent")] metadata (see HScrollbarSkin.mxml, in the Flex 4 SDK, for an example).
Wherever you are creating the instance, change the code <MyComponent/> to <MySkinnableComponent skinClass="MyComponent"/>. Now you're creating an instance of your skinnable component and assigning it the skin created in Catalyst.
Done! If you make more changes in Catalyst, you'll have to repeat steps 5-7 again (for now!)."

Java projects in Flash Builder

Hi all,
I previously used Flex Builder 3 on Vista x64. Inside Flex Builder 3, I had both flex projects and java projects. I needed both because I use BlazeDS and kept the java code in a separate project. I would only like 1 development environment.
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 x64 and went ahead and upgraded my Flex Builder 3 to Flash Builder 4.
It was a simple measure to import my flex projects into Flash Builder 4.
When I tried to import the Flex 3 java projects into Flash Builder 4, Flash Builder responded with:
" The folder does not contain a valid Flash Builder Project."
Short of installing Eclipse, a 32bit version of java, and using the Flash Builder Plugin, is there a way to get my java projects to import and compile in Flash Builder 4 while running on Windows 7 x64?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts,
- Steve
P.S. I may have had to import something special to get it to work in Flex Builder 3, I just can't remember.

If you're trying to compile Java projects in FB4, you'll need to add eclipse's Java Development Tools (JDT).
You can add the JDT this way:
- quit FB4, and launch with "Run as Administrator" from the context (right-click) menu
- from the Help menu choose "Install New Software..."
- in the resulting dialog click "Add", and enter a name of your choosing such as "Galileo Updates" in the Name field
- enter this URL into the Location field:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/
- hit OK and then browse the available Galileo Updates
- select Programming Languages > Eclipse Java Development Tools
- continue on with the usual Update workflow, and after finishing it will prompt you to relaunch automatically.
Allow FB4 to relaunch, and you should now have the JDT available for compiling Java projects.

From flash develop into flash builder?

Recently, I'm trying to use flashbuilder as the editor to associate with augmented reality. I'm useing in2ar sdk to compile the ar function. In the official in2ar tutorial they used flash develop as a example. However, when I import the sdk to the flash builder and try to run the example, it just samplely not working. In the console window, it just show [SWF] with the path of Main.swf - 1.285 bytes after decompression. Anyone know what wrong with this? The sdk and example works perfect in flash develop.

Go to the Insert menu in DW and select swf. Find the .swf that you want to use and select it. Save the file and then use the Preview in Browser tool. Alternately, you can use the Publish function in the File menu in Flash to publish an html docuement that you can then open in DW.

Create button in Device Configuration

Hi ALL
We are not getting the Create, Delete, Copy button in Device Configurations in Mobile Administrator web Console.
Any idea how to get the missing buttons?
Regards
Manish

Hello Manish,
Are you using SAP MI Web console, if so, then with device configurations you can configure mobile devices without being able to access them directly.
1.Start transaction DEVICE_CONFIG.
2.Enter a name for the new device configuration and choose Create.
Note : Device configurations should not have the same name as a mobile component.
3.On the Monitoring Functions tab, enter the required monitoring configurations.
4. On the Assignments tab, enter the role you want to assign to the device configuration and thus to the monitoring functions.
If you want to assign the device templates to individual devices or users instead, you can do so in the SAP MI Web Console. In this case, please refer to below help link -
http://help.sap.com/SAPhelp_nw04/helpdata/en/83/36de50f796484bb8d9d8a4db850ac7/frameset.htm
Thanks and Regards,
Ruchi.
