Offline Documentation for Flash Builder 4?

Is there a way for me to have an offline documentation for Flash Builder 4? The reason is because I'm not constantly online and bewing new to Flex and Flash Builder altogether, I'm always at a loss whenever I'm trying to achieve something which is why an offline documentation would come really really handy! Note that the unit where I develop with Flash Builder doesn't have an internet connection so I can't update the local documentation via the internet.
Thanks much for those who'd answer...

Hi,
I can help answer. There are a couple of ways to get the Flash Builder 4 docs for offline use:
The Community Help app downloads the Help packages to your desktop, and provides an option to view them offline. Go to Edit > Preferences, and set Display Local Help Content Only to Yes. Note that you need to be connected to the Internet once to completely download the Help packages. And, any new updates to the doc will not be available unless you go online again.
You can download a PDF copy of the Using Flash Builder book from: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashbuilder/using/flashbuilder_4_help.pdf
and the Accessing Data with Adobe Flex 4 book from: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flex/4.0/AccessingData/flex_4_accessingdata.pdf
You can also download the entire Flex 4 and FB 4 documentation as a ZIP file from: http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_flex4_alldocumentation_en
Hope this helps,

Overlay AIR 3.3 sdk for Flash Builder on Snow Leopard

The AIR 3.3 sdk is now a DMG, used to be a .tbz2 zip file, and there is no merge capabilities with Snow Leopard..
How can I overlay AIR 3.3 sdk for Flash Builder 4.6 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8?
Also I may have Lion soon so can you provide steps for FB overlay of the DMG on OSX 10.7?
Many thanks.
PS.I am dumbfounded there is no documentation on this by Adobe release after release? For OSX users there is an old Adobe KB article that I can't find anymore, there is a youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S118mZjln3I) I recommend, and a post most mac/FB users use (http://jeffwinder.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/installing-adobe-air-3-sdk-in-flash.html) and none of them remind you to use sudo before the terminal command..

Thanks eran1976 here is the OSX 10.6.8 process that worked for me:
1. open the 3.3 sdk DMG and copy all the files into a new emty folder called say AIR33SDK or whatever in your sdks directory
2. asuming your current Flash Builder sdk with air3.2 or older is called 4.6.0, open terminal and run:
3. sudo cp -Rp /Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.6/sdks/AIR33SDK/ /Applications/Adobe\ Flash\ Builder\ 4.6/sdks/4.6.0/
4. you can now delete AIR33SDK folder if you wish
5. open Flash Builder and change any existing project xml application files to 3.3
5. remember to backup your 4.6.0 folder first

Need help for flash builder

i need help for flash builder 4 and papervison 3d. I need to create a slider with it ranges of value from 10 to 50 to adjust the camera values for the camera.fov and also need to create it for the yaw of the object from 0 to 360. I try to look for any slider event and classes in this program but cant find any, btw, i need to use the AS only project file.
here is my codes:
can you please tell me how i should modify the codes?
package
    import flash.display.BitmapData;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import org.papervision3d.materials.BitmapFileMaterial;
    import org.papervision3d.materials.BitmapMaterial;
    import org.papervision3d.objects.primitives.Sphere;
    import org.papervision3d.view.BasicView;
    [SWF (width="800", height="600", backgroundColor="0x000000",frameRate="30")]
    public class EarthBitmap extends BasicView
        private var sphere:Sphere;
        public function EarthBitmap()
            super(800 , 600);
            var earthmaterial:BitmapFileMaterial = new BitmapFileMaterial("../assets/Earth.jpg");
            sphere = new Sphere(earthmaterial,100,20,18);
            camera.fov = 25;
            scene.addChild(sphere);
            addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateSphere);
        public function rotateSphere(evt:Event):void
            sphere.yaw(0.2);
            singleRender();

Turn the click handler into a full on separate function. Then store all the views in an array and use Math.rand() to randomly choose one.
Something like this:
<fx:Script>
     <![CDATA[
          var questionsArray:Array = {question2,question3,question5,questionRed,questionGeography};
          function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent){
               var randomProblem:int = Math.floor(Math.random()*(questionsArray.length));     //generates a random integer between 0 and the total number of questions in the array (arrays are 0-based)
               navigator.pushView(questionsArray[randomProblem]);
     ]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:Button id="randomProblemButton" label="Next Problem" click="buttonClickHandler(event)" />
Haven't tested that, but something along that line should work

Flash Panels for Flash Builder?

Hi,
It would be great if Flex Developers can create their own Flash Panels for Flash Builder. Photoshop and Flash CS4 has this feature, why not Flash Builder?

Andre:
Hi. I'm trying to do the same thing (create custom xmp panels) and I'm having miserable luck following the XMP Fileinfo SDK.
I've installed Flash Builder 4. I've installed Apache Ant. Dumped the appropriate .jar file in the plugins section. Downloaded the AntView plugin and installed that and then created the MySample example.
It runs fine as a web application from FB and it appears to publish correctly (creating a .swf file in the target bin and writing it all out to the proper location in the Adobe xmp custom panels folder) but when I access the File Info screen in an Adobe product, I get a tab with MySample but the dc field doesn't show up.
I assumed it was a Flash trust file issue and created one, but it still doesn't work. I'm getting no errors and I've tried this a dozen times with the same results.
Was there some step that I missed that you see by any chance?
Thanks.

Can I install Coldfusion Builder as a plugin for Flash Builder?

I already have a licensed copy of Flash Builder 4.x installed, trying to install ColdFusion Builder as a plugin for Flash Builder. When I installed CFB, I selected install as a eclipse plugin and entered the path to the FB directory. Now I can't figure out how to invoke/add the CFB plugin in FB..
Thanks in advance

You should have uninstalled rather than simply deleting CFB 2 plugins manually .
Please do the following to fix it now. (If you have used Uninstaller to uninstall that would have cleaned all these things ):
Take a backup and delete the file: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Uninstall/{b8c666c3-1efd-11b2-bf3c-e04be4b2b610}.db
And you will be able to install CFB as plugin to Eclipse now.
Thanks,
Krishna

Problem while installing LiveCycle Mosaic ES2 Plugin for Flash Builder 4

I am trying to work on Live Cycle Mosaic 9.5 and I have downloaded FlashBuilder 4 and trying to configure the mosaic plugin "LiveCycle Mosaic ES2 Plugin for Flash Builder 4" in Flash Builder as per following directions given on adobe site:
     "Add the following two update sites via Window > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites (names below are suggested/optional):
Name: Galileo Location: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/
Name: RIA Tooling Location: select the LiveCycle Mosaic ES2 Plugin for Flash Builder 4 ZIP file.
Install RIA Tooling Feature: In Help > Install New Software, choose ("Work with") RIA Tooling Site.
Select and install Adobe LiveCycle RIA Tooling."
But I am getting the following error:
"Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Mosaic Tooling Feature 9.5.0.0-20100629-2-241916 (com.adobe.livecycle.ria.tooling.feature.feature.group 9.5.0.0-20100629-2-241916)

    To: com.adobe.livecycle.ria.tooling.mosaic.core_ui [9.5.0.0-20100629-2-241916]"
Please, suggest me how can I solve this problem to configure mosaic plugin on flash builder 4.

I think that in addition to adding the dependency on the galileo HTTP location the instructions should also advise you to 'check for updates'.

VSS Plugin for Flash Builder 4?

Hello,
Does anyone know which VSS Plugin is available for Flash Builder 4?
I tried googling, but in vain.
Please help!
Thanks,
Tanu

Finally found the elusive JDT from Galileo Repository - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/
Installation steps below:
Installing Visual SourceSafe plug-in for Eclipse:
1) Download the Eclipse VSS plugin from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vssplugin/
2) Extract the zip file. Watch out for the duplicate folder (folder-within-folder) when you extract, you do not want this.
3) Copy the folder “org.vssplugin_1.6.2″ to your Flash Builder 4 plugin folder [“C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4\plugins”].
This needs the Java Development Tools. Get it from Galileo:
1) Open Flash Builder 4 (works for Premium too!)
2) Help > Install New Software…
3) At the top of the dialog, click “Add…” to add an update site URL
4) Specify any name and this URL http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/ and press OK.
5) In the table of features, expand “Web, XML and Java EE Development” and select “Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools” [Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools 3.1.1.v200908101600-7_7EGrjFQRwRb4P511ebObS5XZhq]
6) Finish the wizard
7) Restart FB4
8) Now right click your project in Package Explorer > Team > Share, you will be able to see “VSS Configuration Wizard”.

Shiyaz

Where can I get docs for Flash Builder?

Hi-
I've tried numerous places but can't seem to find Flash Builder 4 specific documentation.
I'm working with the examples provided on the adobe labs site (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcatalyst/tutorials/) and I was looking for a way to get the value from a service call to word wrap inside of a DataGrid (for example, if the returned value is longer than the row length of my DataGrid, my expectation was that by checking the Word Wrap checkbox inside of the Configure Columns context box would do the trick, but it does not).
It would be great to know where the reference materials are for all of those available properties and values that are listed for each component inside of Flash Builder 4. Otherwise it makes working with this application next to impossible for us noobies to Flex.
Anyone know?
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Rich,
The wordWrap property is listed at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/gumbo/langref/mx/controls/DataGrid.html under the Properties heading. It can be a bit tricky as the wordWrap property is actually inherited from the ListBase class, so it may be necessary to toggle the "Show Inherited Public Properties" so the inherited properties are also listed. You can read more about the wordWrap property at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/gumbo/langref/mx/controls/listClasses/ListBase.html#wordWra p, and here is a simple example:

IOS support for Flash Builder 4.5.1

I am getting the following message when I try to export a releae build to iOS using Flash Builder 4.5.1:
This platform is not currently supported for Flex Mobile projects
I have tried running the update again and gives me the update was successful message, but I still don't have iOS support.
I did update using the Eclipse updater and was unable to open Flash Builder, but since resolved that issue. I wonder if I need to reinstall Flash Builder and reapply the update or if there is an easier fix.

I just created a project with Adobe Launchpad (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/airlaunchpad/), and it looked like I setup all the options for iOS, but when I go to run configurations and try and deploy to an iOS device I'm getting the same problem: "This platform is not currently supported for Flex Mobile projects"
Anyone know why?
