Is Flash Builder 4.5 FDCC Compliant?

There used to be a page on Adobe.com/government that listed programs that were FDCC compliant. We are in the process of ordering this but can't find this information anywhere now. Does anyone know if it is.
Thanks

I assumed the original poster was refering to the build in integration of Flash Builder, Flash Pro, and Flash Catalyst. My Flash Builder 4.5 could not communicate to the CS5 version of those other 2 apps. Perhaps this was because I was using a preview release, I can't say for sure because the problem went away when I upgraded to CS 5.5.
Yes, I was refering to build integration between Flash Builder 4.5 and Flash Professional CS5. Sorry, if I wasnt accurate.

Future of Flash Builder

I just read that Adobe will discontinue Flash Catalyst and the Design View in Flash builder ?
Is that TRUE ? Programatically Layout and Design uh?
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4085187#4085187
If so that would be a BIG step backwards

I am a designer/developer - I do use the design view extensively. And yes I am more than worth my salt and more. For me, being able to have immediate visual feedback is absolutely necessary. I don't like coding "blind". I have had the opportunity to work Microsoft Blend - Visual Studio since 2007 - It really is what I hoped flex would be. The best of both worlds. As front-end interface developer designer I could work on the exact same source-code, submitting to SVN on a regular basis together with the software engineers developing the backend and SDK. Blend allowed me controle over the primitive shapes that makes up a component. This allowed extreme customisation and optimisation. The wysiwyg view is an absolute crucial part of the process (e.g. do I want this rectangle to have 5px margins or 4, do the shadow work better with a 10 px falloff or a 8px falloff, do I want pixel snap on or off [whish flash had that] - which does look and work different than the photoshop one so I DO HAVE TO DESIGN in the wysiwyg as well)
Yes sure, I do go through a phase designing in Illustrator and Photoshop, but putting the components together takes time. I do not simply import flat artwork and then wrap them in some appropriate container. I build components up using multiple primitive shapes which gets re-purposed and targeted for various states, subtle animations, color-changes and has to comply to it's parent-component's rescaling capabilities. During that phase I do NOT want to continuously recompile. (although I would sometimes create a separate project just to test a specific component that can only be fully viewed after recompiled).
The excuse of "all good coders don't use the design view anyway" is a cop out. I can understand if Adobe says
1) we did not have the resources to do it decently (like Microsoft Blend)
2) we simply do not put the resources in to hire clever enough developers to create a decent tool
But a statement like it's preferable to work only blindly in code is simply wrong and naive of the state of art of dev. tools. Maybe for a dos-like interface or win-32 forms style interface only using stock-standard layout and components.
The biggest advantage of Microsoft Blend is being able to have split view open - I do this with Flashbuilder as well although it is slower and more buggy than Blend - I would write the markup and see updates realtime, switch over to Visual Studio that has the project open in the background for some serious code-completion capabilities - then miss my wysiwyg view - and switch rigth back to Blend.
Why am I using flash-builder/flex - if it was not for the fact that Microsofts wpf-framework only works fully on Win-OS or a subset of it as a silverlight plugin on fewer platforms than flash - I would have used Microsoft. The reason using flash is because it can be deployed on so many platforms - consistently (not like the html4 and now 5 chaos) - It has powerful interactive and multimedia capabilities.
My HTML works exactly the same way - for certain core complex components I will code and have a wysiwyg open as well for better navigation, more inuitive decision making and less time spend going backwards and forwards between compiling/running in the browser - but with the sad state of wysiwyg of dreamweaver unluckily I have to swithc more often (not because I am a more "CLEVER" developer)
Summary - I will use flash/flex only if there is no alternative because of this decision - Flash was supposed to be a creative environment to create highly interactive and creative applications/content for multiple platforms.
Thanks Adobe , I have used Macromedia director since 1993 - You managed to kill that off and now you are messing with flash - It could have been so much more. You simply lack the vision and we are stuck with the limitations, inconsistency, long-development time of HTML5 and a messy array of tools to try and make it usefull.
Whish Microsoft had the vision to make wpf work on all platforms....

Flash Builder Beta 2 locale en_GB problems ?

Hi
I have installed FB B2 and created a project but the application produces an error even before I've complied the app, the message is as follows
unable to open 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder Plug-in Beta 2\sdks\4.0.0\frameworks\locale\en_GB'
I can change the locale under Flex Complier to en_US and this sorts this error. But then the following error appears:
unable to open 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder Plug-in Beta 2\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flexbuilder.dcrad.nl1_4.0.0.253292\nl\en_GB\dcradSwcs\4.0\loc ale'
I have no idea what to do now, why has the en_GB locale been removed in FB B2 ??
Any help would be greatfully accepted
PS I have tried build 10485 of the SDK and get the same result.
Regards
Chris

Hi Chris,
Yes, it was a type. I meant the locale that FB uses as default on my PC: es_ES.
The steps to reproduce this ( using FB beta2 + LCDS3_beta3.war )
1) New Flex project "foobar" with J2EE server
2) Use tomcat 6.0.18 and lcds3_beta3.war
3) Finish
4) I add the project to my Tomcat instance
5) Build project and "boom":
Description Resource Path Location Type
unable to open W:\PATH_TO_WS\foobar\WebContent\WEB-INF\flex\locale\es_ES
Then, I go to my FB_beta2 installation and :
6) copylocale en_US es_ES
Then I copy the new brand es_ES locale into W:\PATH_TO_WS\foobar\WebContent\WEB-INF\flex\locale and I try to build the project again:
7) Build the project
I get something like :
Description Resource Path Location Type
unable to open 'C:\Archivos de programa\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder Plug-in Beta
2\eclipse\plugins\com.adobe.flexbuilder.dcrad.nl1_4.0.0.253292\nl\es_ES\dcradSwcs\4.0\loca le' foobar Unknown Flex Problem
I get the feeling there is something that is breaking the project at the point Im adding the project to the Tomcat instance.
If you skip step 4) The project compiles successfully. As soon as you add the project to Tomcat, everything breaks.
What do you think?

IBM ILog Elixir 2.5 and Flash Builder 4

Hello... I was hoping to get some help here. We just purchased the IBM ILog Elixir 2.5 product for use with Flash Builder 4 IDE and 4.0 SDK.
The IBM website claims the its "Intergrated with Adobe Flash Builder 4 IDE" and the "Platforms Supported" are "Flex 4.0 SDK or later".
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/integration/visualization/elixir/
Even the Adobe site claims that "IBM ILOG Elixir is tightly integrated with Adobe Flash Builder™ 4 software"
http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/ibmilogelixir/
This product has been misrepresented on both websites.
I can wait until 3.0 comes out but I really don't want to pay to upgrade as we purchased this product based on some product reviews and the sellers / developers claims which clearly state support for the 4.0 SDK on the website.
I've contacted both support departments and spent the better part of two hours getting passed from department to department.
The complier warnings that are generated are after dropping an Elixir component onto the stage all look like this:
Type OLAPChart in CSS selector OLAPChart must bequalified with a namespace
I found a blog posting where someone said you can set the -compatibility-version=3.0.0 compiler arguement or compile your app using the 3.2 - 3.5 SDKs. Thoes options are not even close to viable for a multitude of reasons. Has anyone had any luck intergrating Elixir 2.5 components into a flash builder 4 app using the flex 4 SDK?
HELP!
http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/ibmilogelixir/

Hi,
It should be fine to have both version on your machine.
If you have any question on IBM ILOG Elixir don't hesitate to use our dedicated forums at:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=276
Indeed even if we monitor Flex forums we might not read them as often as our dedicated forums.
Thanks,

What is new in Flash Builder 4.7 Game Development beta 2

I just installed it, I thought it would include some version of monocle.
Are there any changes other than a support for a product not available yet through labs?
If Not, when will we get monocle to test with it?

In this build you can create SWFs that support profiling with Monocle, but you will need to download Monocle separately as it is not a part of Flash Builder.
The telemetry API usage via monocle is possible only with the AIR SDK 3.4, so out of the box AS3 projects would support creating SWFs that can be used with monocle. To make it work with MXML (or rather Flex) would will need to overlay the Flex 4.6 SDK with the AIR 3.4 runtime.

Adobe creative cloud cc install has messed up my Flash Builder 4.6 serialization

Hello,
I have been a flash builder user for several years now. I have had FB 4.6 installed on my computer as a free upgrade from FB 4.5, which came with my copy of creative suite 5.5, which I purchased in 2011.
FB 4.6 has been working fine - even when I moved to adobe creative cloud last May (2012).
However, now that I have installed the new creative cloud (CC) applications (and uninstalled the creative cloud cs6 apps) - I am having problems with Flash Builder 4.6. I open it and get a message that my 'trial period' is up. Again, I own FB from my purchase of CS 5.5 - not to metion that it was included in creative cloud. I know that I can download FB 4.7 from creative cloud, but it doesn;t have the design view. So I want FB 4.6. I have seen some solutions to similar problems on the web that recommend reinstalling as a trial and then inputting the serial number once it launches. But I have FB 4.5 on my CS 5.5 installation disc - not FB 4.6 - and I'm not even sure how I could get FB 4.6 anymore. Not to mention that uninstalling - reinstalling 4.5 - and then upgrading from 4.5 to 4.6 - even if possible - would be a huge hassle.
Can someone please help me to get my FB 4.6 working again? To reiterate - everything was fine until I installed Creative Cloud CC apps and uninstalled Creative Cloud CS6 apps
Thanks

Hi bobba1,

How do I use Embed with an environment variable in an Actionscript AIR project Flash Builder 4.7

I am using Flash Builder 4.7 to build an Actionscript AIR project. The project embeds a number of png files from my local directory and I have been using absolute paths which all works fine.
I have a laptop with which I want to start developing the same project - I set up a git repository that both the laptop and main pc can pull from and so I can get the source where I need it and push it back to the central repository.
My problem is that the absolute paths for the embed commands don't work on the laptop as it has a different filesystem setup (Windows 8 with one drive as opposed to Windows 7 with a SSD and a data drive). I thought the solution would be as easy as using an environment variable to specify the path which could then point to a different physical directory on both machines, i.e:
[Embed(source = "DEVELOPER_RESOURCES/graphics/are/here.png"]
I did a bit of research and there was quite a lot mentioned about setting up resource directories using path variables which I worked through but I just can't get it to compile. The Actionscript compiler just won't find the png files however I specify the path. I tried something with a FLEX project and the compiler didn't complain but I think this is because the compiler for FLEX uses a different convention.
[Embed(source ="/Project Name/DEVELOPER_RESOURCES/graphics/are/here.png"] works with FLEX but not Actionscript.
So does anyone have a recipe for using the Embed command referencing assets using an environment variable that works across multiple machines with different file structures?

I managed to find a solution on Windows which was to use symlinks and absolute paths. You an basically point one directory to another so I did something like:
mklink c:\developer_resources c:/the/local/path/to/my/resources
and then reference all resources as c:\developer_resources\...
Now as long as a developer machine has the right link (from c:\developer_resources to the place where the resources are kept) then it seems to work.
This doesn't however work for Mac and certainly isn't a solution for passing files between Mac and windows

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

Problem with working in Flash Builder 4

Hi there,
I am working on the develepment of a new kind of website in 3D.
For this I am using Flash Builder 4 AS3 Project and the 3D program Away3D.
The problem is that I created a SWF in one AS3 project called PoloSWF.
In another project I created a plane with the SWF as material.
For this I copied PoloSWF from the original bin release directory and pasted it in the assets folder of the plane project.
When running the plane project, the SWF is not visible.
Any idea where the bug is?

I tried it in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. I was able to get the Akamai download manager but that was all I could download. Currently with firefox the download is stuck at waiting and will not continue any further.

Is there a limit to the amount of SWCS I can use in my Flash Builder app?

I have 3 swc folders in my flash builder project that includes about 40 swcs total. Each swc is a simple flash animation with a size of about 500 kb each. When I include and complile about 20 of them in my project, things work fine.
When I try to include all my swcs, the app compiles, but when i make changes in my code and save those changes, each time the compile becomes slower and eventually my flash builder freezes at about 52%, gives me a "java heap error" message, and then crashes. After restarting FB, when I take out most of the swcs from the build, FB acts normal again. Attached is a screen shot of my error.
Is there a limit in size or amount of swcs that I can use in my FB application?

There are no limits. But there is a known memory leak (which is being fixed for a later release).
Would it be possible to attach a sample SWC so that we can confirm whether this is a known leak or not? I'll take care of filing this in bugs.adobe.com.
Meanwhile, in your Flash Builder installation directory, you can edit FlashBuilder.ini to bump up max heap size by editing:
-Xmx512m
to
-Xmx800m

How to connect my app interface with the code in flash builder?

I'm a beginner and learning my way around actionscript,mxml and flash builder.So this may seem foolish but please bear with me,I'm creating a very simple ios app using flash builder,I have created a simple app interface (A background and a custom navigation bar)using photoshop for my app,now the question is how do i import it into flash builder so that i can connect it with the code i have written? or is there another simpler way to create a app interface using other products like fireworks or catalyst?
In short, I want to know how is an app interface created(wt software) and how is it connected with its code using flash builder.Any help would be greatly appreciated, and tutorials would be swell
Thanks!

Unable to install Flash Builder Premium: a beta version exists on this computer

Hi,
I'm a user of Flex since version 2 and i'm still currently using it everyday. Some days ago I uninstall Flash Builder Premium 4.7 because i did a mess installing some external packages so I dedided to uninstall it and install everything from scratch.
The problem is that installing using Creating Cloud on my iMac, I always receive the same error: "a beta version exists on this computer".
I have already used the "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool" and I removed the "Adobe Flash Builder" having the same icon as the other applications installed by Creative Cloud and now I have another "Adobe Flash Builder" with a slightly different icon but I'm scared to use it because waiting to repair Flash Builder 4.7 I'm using Flash Builder 4.6 and I cannot think I cannot work because Flash Builder is not working (I use it every day !).
I removed Flash Builder 4.7 using the uninstaller, so the uninstalled didn't completed its job.
On the machine I have currently installed Flex Builder 3, Adobe Flash Builder 4.6, Adobe Gaming SDK 1.0 (no uninstaller for it !), Adobe Flash C++ Compiler (no uninstaller for it too!).
So, the question is, where I can find the log file containing the reason of the error message ? I have already checked the followimg folders:
\Library\Logs\Adobe\Installer: I cleaned the folder and the error happens before a file is created in this folder
\Users\<my account>\Library\Logs: it seems that the error isn't logged here
Please help me, I need to use Flash Builder 4.7 for a presentation I have to do next Wednsday (almost 2 years of working !!!)
Thank you
Diego Novati

Hi novatiitm,
Please search for Flash Builder in Spotlight and if find simply uninstall it or delete the folders containing the software.

Flash Builder 4.5 Data Services Wizard, setting up REST service call returns Internal Error Occurred

Dear all -
I am writing with the confidence that someone will be able to assist me.
I am using the Flash Builder Data Services Wizard to access a Server that utilizes REST type calls and returns JSON objects. The server is a JETTY server and it apparantly already works and is returning JSON objects (see below for example). It is both HTTP and HTTPS enabled, and right now it has a cross-domain policy file that is wide open (insecure but its not a production server, it's internal).
The crossdomain file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
   <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*" secure="false"   />
   <allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*" secure="false"/>
   <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only" />
</cross-domain-policy>
The crossdomain file is in the jetty server's root directory and is browseable via HTTP and HTTPS (i.e. browsing to it returns the xml)
Now before all of you say that using wizards sucks (generally) I thought I would utilize the FB Data Services Wizard as at least it would provide a template for which I could build additional code against, or replace and improve the code it produces.
With that in mind, I browse to the URL of the Jetty Server with any web browser (for example, Google Chrome, Firefox or IE) with a URL like this (the URL is a little confidential at the moment, but the structure is the same)
https://localhost:somePort/someKey/someUser/somePassword/someTask
*somePort is the SSL port like 8443
*someKey is a key to access the URL's set of services
returns a JSON object as a string in the web browser and it appears like the following:
{"result":success,"value":"whatEverTheValueShould"}
Looks like the JSON string/object is valid.
I went through the Flash Builder Data Services Wizard to set up HTTP access to this server. The information that I filled in is described below:
Do you want to use a Base URL as a prefix for all operation URLs?
YES
Base URL:
https://localhost:8443/someKey/
Name                    : someTask
Method                    : POST
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
URL                              : {someUser}/{somePassword}/someTask
Service Name: SampleRestapi
Services Package: services.SampleRestapi
datatype objects: valueObjects:
Completing the wizard, I run the Test Operation command. Remember, no authentication is needed to get a JSON string.
It returns:
InvocationTargetException: Unable to connect to the URL specified
I am thinking - okay, but the URL IS browseable (as I originally was able to browse to it, as noted above).
I continue to test the service by creating a Flex application that accepts a username and password in a form. when the form is submitted, the call to the service is invoked and an event handler returns the result. The code is below (with some minor changes to mask the actual source).

                    </s:FormItem>
          </s:Form>

It's a simple application to be sure. When I run it , I get the following returned in the text area field txtAreaResults:
An Internal Error Occured.
Which is equivalent to the following JSON string being returned:
{"success":false,"value":"An Internal Error Occured"}
It appears that the call is being made, and that a JSON object is being returned... however it does not return the expected results?
Again the URL constructed is the same:
https://www.somedomain.com:somePort/someKey/someUser/somePassword/someTask
So I am wondering what the issue could be:
1) is it the fact that I am browsing the test application from an insecure (http://) web page containing the Flex application and it is accessing a service through https:// ?
2) is the JSON string structurally correct? (it appears so).
3) There is a certificate enabled for HTTPs. it does not match the test site I am using ( the cert is for www.somedomain.com but I am using localhost for testing). Would that be an issue? Google Chrome and IE just asks me to proceed anyway, which I say "yes".
Any help or assistance on this would be appreciated.
thanks
Edward

Hello everyone -
Since I last posted an interesting update happened. I tested my Flex application again, it is calling a Jetty Server that returns a JSON object, in different BROWSERS. I disabled HTTPS for now, and the crossdomain.xml policy file is wide open for testing (ie. allowing every request to return data). So the app accessing the data using HTTP only. Browsers - IE, Opera, Firefox and Chrome. Each browser contained the SAME application, revision of the Flash Player (10.3.183.10 debugger for firefox, chrome, opera, safari PC; 11.0.1.129 consumer version in IE9,) take a look at the screen shot (safari not shown although the result was the same as IE and chrome)
Note that Opera and Firefox returned successful values (i.e. successful JSON objects) using the same code generated from the Data Services Wizard. Chrome, IE and, Safari failed with an Internal error. So I am left wondering - WHY? Is it something with the Flash Player? the Browsers? the Flex SDK? Any thoughts are appreciated. Again, the code is found in the original thread above.

How can I get to the compiler arguments in Flash Builder 4.6?

Howdy!
So far I've been unable to locate any information that could help me with my task. The ultimate goal is to build my project's SWF with mxmlc. I was not able to figure it out and thought I'd install Flash Builder in the hopes of being able to get to the compiler arguments. No luck.
First, I'm not the lead on the building of the SWF. This is done by another person via the Eclipse plugin; her hard drive crashed last night too. In fact I'm not a Flash developer. I'm coming at this from a Build Infrastructure perspective.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Mel Riffe,
Here's a Help topic about compiler options in Flash Builder: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashbuilder/using/WSe4e4b720da9dedb524b8220812e5611f28f-7fe7. html
For information on using mxmlc, the application compiler, to compile SWF files from your ActionScript and MXML source files, you can see: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7fcc.html
Hope this helps,
