Losing my embeded bullet symbol when I do Export Release Build

I am using a bullet symbol in my Flex project as follows: 1) created a .swf in Flash with the fonts I want to use, including a bullet symbol (unicode 25CF). I am using a .css to embed my .swf fonts for use in my project. I am then using the bullet symbol inside a TextArea by assigning a string of text, including my bullet symbol, to the .htmlText property of the TextArea.
e.g.
private const BULLET_SYMBOL:String = "\u25CF";textArea.htmlText = "<font color='#00ff00'>"+BULLET_SYMBOL+"</font> Hello World."
All works fine when I build for debug. My little green bullet appears perfectly. When I use Export Release Build..., my bullets are no longer there. What can I do about this?

So, even after setting up a new project, the problem didn't go away. Seems as if the problem sits within the libraries I'm using, though none of them do show any errors or problems.
Edit:
I was wrong accusing Flash Builder on this one! I've had two asset source paths that overlapped and apparently, Flash Builder can't handle that when you try to make a release build. Again, debugging always worked fine. I didn't get any warnings either, so it took me quite some time to even think that that might be an issue.
Still, the pletheora of Flash Builder bugs remains!
Found a new one with is also rather annoying recently;
Open the local history of a file and try to copy some text from that file, you'll instantly get a java nullpointer, resulting in the fact that the text isn't copied to the clipboard.
Edit2:
That last edit was actually based on a premature thought of success. Unfortunately, the project still doesn't compile. There are no errors or problems whatsoever in neither of the library projects or the main project.
Edit3: - Finally solved it!
After re-installing FB4.7, thus overwriting the old installation with all it's SDKs, I figured that the merged SDKs might have been causing this issue.
I've merged SDKs several times before using FB4.7 and it worked fine all the time, the absolutely ridiculous way Adobe forces us to update the AIR SDK with 4.7 is so prone to error, that I might have made a mistake this time though.
So for everyone who struggles with this issue as well, make sure your SDKs are in order! Also check the version numbers in air-sdk-description.xml which is located in the AIRSDK folder.

Constantly getting error 302 when trying to export release build

As the title says, I can't export a release build (any more) with Flash Builder 4.7 using AIR 3.5 (or 3.6 beta for that matter).
The compilation process is immediately interrupted with error 302: Root content ... is missing from package.
What can I do about this?
BTW: @Adobe support, please check the forum login! I also constantly get an error 413 wich cancels the login process. Had to go to a computer where my cookie has been saved to get here.
Edit: Using the debugger (iOS Simulator or ADT) works, though. Could someone please shed some light into this? I really have to test a release build.

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
Thanks!

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

Works fine when i run it, broken when i export release build

I have an app that works fine when i press CTRL + F11 to test it. then when i export the release build and run it locally much of its operations dont function any longer. Any ideas why this is happening ?

I am loading an external mp3 file, but the song is playing.
What i am using is the TourDeFlex example named "Audio Visualization" found under OtherCOmponents/Audio.
I just found somthing very interesting out. when i go to the projects bin-debug folder, and run the index.html file it works just fine. If i then copy all thoes files to another folder on my computer and fun them i am back to the same problem. Its like its neededing some file that its not properly exporting.

Out of Memory Error when exporting release build for IOS

I recently changed my project to use the new AIR 3.3 SDK.
When I try to package my game for iOS, I get an error part way through the build, that says
Exeption in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space.
I took a screenshot:
It's frustrating because now it doesn't build at all.
I have tried changing the -vmargs for the sdk to have 16Gb of RAM available, (and many other multiples of 1024m) in the hope that this would fix it.
I've also installed the JDK as it is supposed ot handle memory better than the JRE, but have no idea how to point FB to use that.
I've changed the Xmx value to 1024m in Flashbuilder.ini and eclipse.ini (it seems it doesn't start if it's higher than that) and still no luck.
Can anyone help with this?
Cheers,
Ben

Well I don't have to render as I go, it is just a choice. I checked to see if all the video and stills were rendered. I re-rendered after making sure all of the options were checked, removed all of the stills from the timeline just in case the still format was the problem, then attempted to export again. It took about 2 hours. I watched with activity monitor and it took almost all of the available disc space then my computer shut itself down. When I rebooted there was a Quicktime file 320 GB in size but would not open. I got an error message that it was not a mov. file.
But to answer your question:
Video is 29.97fps DV/DVCPRO
Frame size is 720 x 480
3.0 mb/sec
16 bit Integer
Aplha= None /ignore
Composit is Normal
NTSC-CCIR 601
Stereo
Stills are at 25.0 fps JPEG

In Smartform Bullet symbol is converted into # .

Hi All,

Can u give any one to solutions for this one.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Which device type do you use to print? Usually the # character printed means the device type codepage doesn't support this character. What is the result when you print via Windows cascading fonts device type SWINCF?

Embedding Button symbol from swf

Hi,
I am embedding a Button Symbol into Flex from from a swf. The Button inside the swf has an up and over state. Now I embed the symbol into an image in Flex. The image is in one of my states.
All works fine initially in Flex as far as the up over state. Now the The problem is when I go back to the base state and then back to the state with the embedded swf symbol.....it initializes still in the over state, until I mouse over then mouse out and now its in the Up state.   What could be the probelm here??
thanks for taking time to look at this!

Alex,
I'm not following you, why do I need a button?.....can create Mouse over and out events like this?:
var event:MouseEvent = new MouseEvent(MouseEventMouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER.);
myImage.dispatchEvent(event);
var even2t:MouseEvent = new MouseEvent(MouseEventMouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT.);
myImage.dispatchEvent(event2);
would this work?
BTW any idea if this is a Bug or known issue that I'm experiencing?

Spark Image can't scale embedded SWF symbols?

Can anyone help me make sense of this?
Using Flex 4.5.1 (Spark only compile) I've found that the new Spark Image control works inconsistently when loading SWF at runtime and embedding SWF symbols. See these two situations:
1) OK - Spark image loads a whole SWF in runtime. Swf loads OK and scales up to desired size with perfect smooth anti-aliased edges
2) Not OK - Spark Image loads an embedded swf symbol as follows:
<s:Image source="@Embed(source='embedded/GeneralSymbols.swf' , symbol = 'komodoDragon')" x="250" y="35" height="200" />
( or using a bindable class )
And the image is pixelated and totally unusable.
It seems unfortunately that when embedding Swf Symbols ( which is a big element of the Adobe Flex - Flash - Illustrator workflow ) the "vector" images are reduced to bitmaps at their original size and don't scale.
I know spark swfLoader is a possible option - but surely it's too heavy for loading many images?

Hi Ged_mc.
Did you find the answer to this?
I'm using Flex 4.6 SDK and having the same problem. It's kind of dumb, isn't it?
Especially since I'm migrating an application from Flex 3 to 4.6 and it worked perfectly in the previous version.
Thanks!

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "" when expecting one of the following:

Hi I am creating trigger using CFQUERY tag of cold fusion on oracle..
<CFQUERY DATASOURCE="CRM">
create or replace trigger AWC_ACCESSROLESID_TRI
before insert on AWC_ACCESSROLES
for each row
begin
select AWC_ACCESSROLESID_SEQ.nextval into :new.AR_ID from dual;
end;
</CFQUERY>
But the created trigger is not compiled, it is giving the following error
"Line # = 1 Column # = 6 Error Text = PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "" when expecting one of the following: begin case declare exit for goto if loop mod null pragma raise return select update while with <an identifier> <a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> << close current delete fetch lock insert open rollback savepoint set sql execute commit forall merge <a single-quoted SQL string> pipe The symbol "" was ignored."
If I edit that trigger in enterprose manager console by pressing space and compile that, it is working fine with out any error. If i run the above statement in sql *plus, It is working fine with out any error.
Can you please tell me why this is happening if i run it using cfquery tag and also the possible solutions.
Thanks in advance,
Vinod

So it works in Enterprise manager. It works in SQL*Plus. It doesn't work in CFQUERY. Sounds to me like a ColdFusion problem rather than an Oracle problem to be honest. Aren't there any ColdFusion support resources?

My Apple TV 1st gen will now no longer play any of our iTunes music, although it shows a speaker symbol when you select play on the track. Please help?

My Apple TV 1st gen will now no longer play any of our iTunes music, although it shows a speaker symbol when you select play on the track. Please help?

Are you streaming or syncing you music? Sounds like you're streaming music directly from iTunes.
There can be many different issues. First, try power-cycling you wireless router (leave router disconnected for about 1 or 2 minutes) to refresh the wireless communication betweek both devices.
Make sure all software updates have been installed, for Apple TV and iTunes.

11g R1 problem... PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "¿" when expecting...

Yesterday AM. my customer went live with an upgrade. Things started out ok, but as the load on the system started to build, we started seeing errors.
The reported error is:
S1000 Oracle ODBC Ora ORA-06550: line 1, column 42:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "¿" when expecting one of the following:
. ( ) , * @ % & = - + < / > at in is mod remainder not rem =>
<an exponent (**)> <> or != or ~= >= <= <> and or like
This is in response to calling a stored procedure with this signature.
MY_THING (
p1 IN NUMBER,
p2 OUT NUMBER,
p2 IN NUMBER
I believe this is a failure with the ODBC driver to parse
{call MY_STUFF.MY_THING(791200, ?, 1067744)}
Now to head off the obvious responses, I'm going to say these things in boldface
the procedure itself is fine, and works flawlessly under test
*nowhere in any of the code is an upside-down '?' as reported in the error message*
Has anyone else encountered this--or better yet solved it?

thanks for the replies.
I'd have to rule out triggers at the point the stored procedure is run. Other than logging, it doesn't do any writes to the database. It does a couple of look-ups, and returns the results in a cursor. As for the web servers, they're pretty much copies of each other. 'Out of the box + updates' Windows Server 2008 machines with our application installed on each.
The software issuing the ODBC call is old, well worn, tried and true C++. In this case the only string parameters passed are 'PA' or 'PJ' the rest is all integers.
But again I want to stress that it doesn't appear that we reach the database when it fails. It appears to fail when the ODBC driver is parsing the '{call xxxxxx} statement.
On a hunch, I've just reconfigured our application to treat the offensive call as if it were an 'external' reference. Meaning that a new ODBC connection will be created/destroyed for each run. Not very efficient, but I'll take slow over broken any day. It's too early to tell if this will eliminate the error.

Reducing file sizes with symbols when it's already too late

Is it possible to turn something into a symbol when you have already placed it multiple times on the artboard? I have created very complex artwork that my client is very happy with, but I haven't shown her the file sizes! Ultimately this has to be uploaded to a webpage so it can be downloaded and printed by many people. I think I should have used symbols rather than cutting and pasting bits of art but now it's done and I don't want to redo it if it can be avoided.
Other ways of reducing file sizes would also be helpful.
Thanks for any help!

And what does "downloaded from a website" mean? As PDF? If so, it doesn't matter. You would simply flatten and optimize the PDF. Symbols are AI specific and don't carry over to foreign formats, so it would be wasted effort trying to replace anything. if you still must, try this: http://www.illustrationetc.com/AI_Javascripts/ReplaceScripts.htm

Cannot resolve symbol when the classes are in the same package

i have one interface and two classes all in the same package. am getting " cannot resolve symbol", when the code refers to the interface or the class .
the package name is collections.impl and
the directory i used to store all the java files:
c:\jdk\bin\collections\impl.
isthere any othe option other than compiling all the files from the comand line at the same time?
please help - i m new to java.

If you have:
I.java:
package some;
public interface I {
    void method();
}A.java:
package some;
public class A implements I {
    public void method() {
        new B();
}B.java:
package some;
public class B implements I {
    public void method() {
        new A();
}in c:/temp/some for example
you can compile your files with
javac c:/temp/some/*.java
It seems that you have errors in your code.
Recheck it twice or use NetBeans IDE(http://www.netbeans.org) it will do this for you ;)
