Someone with Flash Experience Wanted

I've been writing a series of short stories that I'd like to
see animated. I've tried myself and trust me, I'm not very good.
Basically, the stories revolve around a high school student whose
name is Joey Flanaquest ( a play on Johnny Quest) who gets into all
sorts of hijinks with his friends. One of my main influences is
South Park, the way a situation can go from fine to horrible in a
matter of seconds. The stories as of right now range from 4-32
pages, but I don't know how long they'll be once animated. It has
some toilet humor and can be immature at points, but I think it all
kind of comes together nicely in the end. Email me at
[email protected] for more information if you're
interested

FYI, this is
JavaScript, not Java. They are not the same thing.
Anyway, just replace the dt2dtstr code with this:
function dt2dtstr (dt_datetime) {
return (new String (
(dt_datetime.getMonth()+1)+"-"+dt_datetime.getDate()+"-"+dt_datetime.getFullYear()+"

Something like ajax with flash

Hello All , I am a web developer and i need a little help with flash .
i want to make a board which presents a number , a word etc . every user can change the word on the board and other users can see the change .
in ajax , it can be easily done by http request to a server side page (I'm using PHP) and response , and an area of the page that refreshes every 1 second .
but i want to do this with flash/PHP and i have no idea how to do so . of course , i am a newbie to flash :-)
I'm using Flash Cs3
thanks , any helps appreciated.

Since you are new to Flash, what I'll recommend first is that you do not pursue learning to use Actionscript 1/2 but instead start off with the latest version which is AS3. CS3 supports using it. You could pursue something similar using AS2, but to make you more current I'd recommend stepping up to AS3.
Then what I would recommend in that you find a tutorial for working with Flash, PHP, and possibly mySQL. You could probably use a text/xml data file instead, but the database may be the better choice. Here is a link to a tutorial that shows how to use Flash,PHP, and mySQL.... http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play?id=20 With your background, you should be able to adapt it to what you want to do.
In its most basic format, the process is one of PHP playing the middle man between Flash and the data source.

I have problem with Flash Player. Full screen doesn't work correctly. Turning off hardware acelleration helps but I want this option to work.

Problem exist only on YouTube. When i want get full screen, I have black screen with audio. If I click few times full screen button it helps, but I want to go to full screen by one click.
If i turn off hardware acceleration everything is ok but vids looks terrible.
I have this problem with Flash Player 10. No 9 works good, but some websites wants no. 10

Generaly FP works, but problem is that i must press few times full screen button. Now i have turn off hardware accelleration, but movies are quite bad.
I have already installed newest graphic drivers but it didn't help.
Everything was good unless Flash Player and Mozilla notificated that update is necessary :<

I cannot download videos with flash video downloader from other websites also.Whenever I want to download video it says choose file.

What does the product developer say about system requirements? If it needs to be run from within Internet Explorer then you'll need to find a way to run Internet Explorer. Boot Camp or VM installation of Windows would be two options.
But first check the product requirements.

Anyone familiar with Flash Presentations?

Hi.
I continue to have problems playing movieclips on certain
slides of a Flash Presentation.
If anyone has *reasonable* experience with Flash
presentations please let me know. You might be familiar with the
problem, or have suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
K

chez Lou,

Well, that would certainly be one approach, but then you
lose out on the
benefit of nested movie clips, not the least of which is
avoidance of
timeline sprawl. I played a bit more with the Slide API this
morning. I
can see what's going on. Under the hood, each slide is a
movie clip, and
they all exist at once, so if you have nested animation on
any slide ...
they all start playing even on slide 1, and might in fact
have played
through by the time you hit slide 5.
> 2. Do you know of a way to have an animation stop on the
last
> frame, yet replay on slide re-entry?
Here's what I came up with. Let's assume you have two
buttons on the
root presentation slide. By default, Flash gives you a root
slide named
"presentation" and a child slide named "slide1". In my
experiment, I added
a Next and Previous button to "presentation" and wired them
up like this:
btnNext.onRelease = function():Void {
this._parent.currentSlide.gotoNextSlide();
btnPrev.onRelease = function():Void {
this._parent.currentSlide.gotoPreviousSlide();
This uses the button event handling approach I prefer,
personally, over
on() and onClipEvent() -- I'm not sure which approach you're
using. In this
approach, the code codes into a keyframe, typically a
dedicated scripts
layer, rather than attached to the object itself. The buttons
have the
instance names btnNext and btnPrev. A function is assigned to
the
Button.onRelease event of each button instance, and the
functions call
either Slide.gotoNextSlide() or Slide.gotoPreviousSlide() as
appropriate.
In order to target the relevant Slide instance, I use the
Slide.currentSlide
property, which I reference via the expression this._parent.
Let me explain that, real quick. In the above code, the word
"this"
refers to the corresponding button instance itself -- in
btnNext's onRelease
handler, "this" refers to btnNext. btnNext -- the button
symbol -- is, by
nature, an instance of the Button class. Consulting the
Button class in the
ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference, I see that all button
instances have a
Button._parent property, which points to the object that
contains the
button. Cool. Therefore, from a button's point of view,
this._parent
refers to the timeline that contains the button. Normally,
such a reference
points to a MovieClip instance (which is what timelines are;
they're movie
clips). That's the case here, too, but thanks to the way
object-oriented
programming works, and because we're inside a Slide
presentation, the parent
movie clip of this button is also an instance of the Slide
class.
Look up "Slide class" in the Components Language Reference,
and you'll
see the full pedigree. Any instance of Slide has the
following family tree:
MovieClip > UIObject > UIComponent > View >
Loader > Screen > Slide. Slides
*are* movie clips, but they're more than that. They're also
UIObjects,
which are objects that contain all the functionality of movie
clips, and
then some. They're also UIComponents, which addes even more
functionality,
and so on ... all the way through Slide. One of the
properties of the Slide
class is Slide.currentSlide. Bingo!
So ... this._parent (in this context) refers to a Slide
instance, which
means this._parent.currentSlide refers to the currently
showing slide, which
is obviously also a Slide instance. For that reason, we can
still invoke
Slide class methods on the reference, which is why something
like
this._parent.currentSlide.gotoNextSlide() works.
Forgive me, by the way, if you already understand all of
this. Forum
replies are searchable, and who knows ... in the future, the
explanation has
the potential to help someone else, too. :)
Okay, so now the issue is, we want each current slide to run
through any
nested movie clips it may have, regardless of their instance
names, and tell
each movie clip to start again from frame 1 of its own
timeline. Amend the
above code to look like this:
import mx.screens.Slide;
btnNext.onRelease = function():Void {
this._parent.currentSlide.gotoNextSlide();
var slide:Slide = this._parent.currentSlide;
for (var prop:String in slide) {
if (typeof(slide[prop] == "movieclip")) {
slide[prop].gotoAndPlay(1);
btnPrev.onRelease = function():Void {
this._parent.currentSlide.gotoPreviousSlide();
var slide:Slide = this._parent.currentSlide;
for (var prop:String in slide) {
if (typeof(slide[prop] == "movieclip")) {
slide[prop].gotoAndPlay(1);
The import statement allows us to reference Slide as a
datatype, which
happens just below the line in each event handler that was
already there.
To save a few keystrokes (basically, to make the code easier
to read), we're
creating a temporary variable, slide, and setting it to the
same
this._parent.currentSlide expression we already used. Once
gotoNextSlide()
or gotoPreviousSlide() is called, the value of
this._parent.currentSlide
changes, because now a *new* slide is the current slide. It's
the new slide
we're interested in. Using the variable slide as a kind of
shorthand, we
use a for..in loop to run through all the properties of the
current slide.
If the datatype of a given propery is a movie clip, we tell
it to go to
frame 1 of its own timeline and start playing.
What I've spelled out may or may not fit, exactly, with your
current
circumstance, but that's why I spent a bit of time explaining
the mechanics
of it. I hope that steers you in a useful direction. :)

Errors on my web site started with Flash Player Release a few days ago (Mar 28, 2012)

Hi,
I have a Flash based video player on my website. This was designed and implemented based on an article vy Lisa Larson-Kelley. It has run flawlessly for several years. But, when I installed the lastest release of Flash Player a fedw days ago (Mar 28, 2012), I am now getting really annoying issues with the Flash Video Player.
I expect that I will need to place insturctions for users on how to roll back their version of Flash Player, since this latest version is broken.
But, many of the people who visit my site are not tech oriented (they are mostly friends and family, so, I don't expect that they will really roll back their version of Flash player.
I am 100% certain the issue is the latest version of Flash, since these errors never occurred until I installed the latest version.
On my work laptop, I have an older version of Flas (10.x.x) and this probelm does not happen. On my desktop PC at home, I have an older version of Flash 11 installed, and this problem does not happen (in IE9). The version of Flash PLayer 11 where the issue does *not* occur is 11.1.102.63.
On that same desktop PC, if I use Chrome, (which automatically defaults to the latest version of Flash which is 11.2.202.228, I get the problems. So, there is no question that the issue is with the latest version of Flash and not my hardware or drivers. I get the same problems on three different computers.
My website has a username and password. If someone from Adobe wants to replicate the problem send me an e-mail and I will send you the username and password.
The videoplayer on my website is at this url: http://www.jjjhi.com/TryMakingFlashVidPlayer/VideoPlaylist.html (but, you will need the username and password).
The issue is that sometimes (not always) when you select a video to play, inistead of the video loading into the panel as it should (sized as 1025 x 578), instead, all you see is the control skin. The video begins to play, but all you get is the audio. It looks like this:
You can recover from this error by using the skin control to make the image full screen, but, the video looks poor at fulls screen, because it is created at 1024 x 578. You can then get the correct size by returning from full screen, but, I don't want the pepole who visit my cif\deo playet to have to go all through that. Especially since most won't even know enough to try making the video full screen.
This doesn't happen for every video on my web site, but, once it *does* happen once...it will happen for every video selection you make.
This is unacceptable, and it absolutely a function of Flash version 11.2.202.228.
Adobe: Please fix this bug as soon as possible.
I've implemented an HTML5 based video player and have begun populating it with mp4 versions of my video clips, but, quite honestly, the playback using HTML5 is much worse than with Flash. I encoded the clips in the HTML5 player with the same Variable Bit Rates as in the F4V clips, and, in the HTML5 player, there are missed frames, and the audio can get out of sync. So, I *want* to keep using my Flash Based video player, but...if Adobe doesn;t fix this, I will just dial down my VBR till I find one that is slow enough to play in HTML5 and ditch Flash.
My HTML5 video player is here:
http://www.jjjhi.com/TryMakingNewVideoPlayer/NewVidPlayer_option1_jth.html
(again you need the username and password to use it, send me an e-mail and I will give them to you, I just don't want to post them in an open forum).
Here is a bitmap of the page: It is quite snazzy looking and is based on an excellent class from Chris Converse at Lynda.com. But, even though it is 'snazzy looking' the HTML5 player performs poorly on an under-powered machine (like my work laptop). It uses 100% CPU and misses frames and the audio loses sync. The same videos encoded with the same VBR for Flash (F4V) play great, *except for the new issue described above!!!!)
I Adobe can fix this issue with Flash Player 11.2.202.228 ASAP, else, I will have to 'downgrade' to an HTML5 based video player, that, quite honestly does not perform as well as Flash.
If you want to reproduce the problem contact me at my e-mail address: [email protected] and I'll send you the username and password.
You can then prove that the problem does not exist with prior version of Flash player (before 11.2.202.228) but *does* exist with this latest buggy release.
Thanks,
John

Thanks.
I sent the username and PW to you and Chris.
Cheers,
John

Camera just up and stopped working with flash player. SUUUUPER annoying. Any ideas?

Hi:
Windows XP SP3 32bit, latest updates applied
Firefox 3.6.6 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0E))
IE 8.0.6001.18702
Flash Player 10,1,53,64
HP EliteBook 8530w with built-in HP camera (brand spankin' new).
So Flash Player today decided it doesn't want to work with my webcam. I have pulled my hair out trying to figure out what the problem is. The camera works fine with other video camera software, such as Adobe Flash Live Encoder 3.1, for example, or the various Microsoft cam tools. But Flash Player just won't see it. When I visit a website that uses the camera through flash, all I get is a black box. I never get the privacy screen that asks me if I would like to allow the site temporary access to my camera.If i go into my settings, and go to the camera tab, it shows my camera device in the dropdown box. But you know how if you double-click the little box under the dropdown, it should activate your camera and display a little video inside that box? That doesn't work for me. All I get is this:
It doesn't matter if I use FF or IE. I've re-installed Flash Player, both the FF version and the Ax version. To no avail. I've logged into my computer as a different user, because hell maybe it's some weird dumb thing in the Flash Player cache or something. Nope.
Now here's the super, super, super annoying part: I just recently moved to this laptop and one of the things I was looking forward to was a computer where my webcam would FINALLY work with flash player again. Yes, that's right: my old computer had this exact same problem. And in both cases, at one point the camera worked with Flash player no problem, and then at some point, it just stopped working.
This makes me think, of course, that the problem is some nefarious piece of software I've installed, but I can't think of what that is. I know the camera was working with my new computer as early as last week. Recently I've installed a bunch of software, including Adobe Media Live Encoder 3.1, Flash Professional CS5, and the Adobe Connect add-in. I've uninstalled everything except CS5, because, hey, who wants to re-install that if they don't have to? I'll do that as a last result, but the guy sitting next to me has the entire CS5 suite installed and camera works fine for him with Flash Player (same exact hardware too), so I don't think it's that. Other than that, I dunno. I've got VS2008 and 2010 installed. GoToMeeting. Office. That's about it.
So. Any ideas? Any thoughts on how I could even start to debug the issue? Logging or something? Any help is much appreciated.

Yes.
Victory is mine.
VICTORY IS MINE!!!
Solution:
Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg
Set
AVHardwareDisable=1
to:
AVHardwareDisable=0
Restart your browser. Done. Camera works now.
I really want to shout this solution from the rooftops, because try Googling the solution sometime. I did. I failed. You will too. Hopefully if I use some more 18-point bold font, Google will index it faster, because that's the way it works right?
I actually had no idea that Flash Player has a folder in Windows\system32 at all, and I definitely had no idea that this file existed. I am guessing some stinking app I installed decided I needed AVHardwareDisable set to 1 for some reason (effers). I found out about the location by just lazily searching through the windows registry for "Flash Player" and eventually saw it pointing to that directory. A little more poking around and I found this file.
Those of you who actively support this forum: please keep this in the back of your mind, next time someone has audio/video input problems with Flash Player. I've found an awful lot of forum posts from people with cameras not working, and I bet a good portion of them need this fix. Reinstalling Flash Player will not fix it. Here's hoping the solution comes up in Google for the next unlucky soul.

Issues with flash and other adobe products.

Ok, so i've been using flash player for quite a number of years now aswell as other products like acrobat reader when i used windows, over the years flash player has developed into a totally inneffecient and almost unusable product. on top of the security issues of past with flash player and especially acrobat reader, with remote code execution vulnerabilities, i have, as have thousands of others noticed a very large decrease in performance with flash.
i should note that a year or two ago, i could play HD flash content no problem, both 720 and 1080 resolutions, full screen without any issue. i would expect it to take up a decent portion of cpu cycles, which it did, i use to be able to run flash content at 720 with about 30 - 50% cpu usage. now it seems with flash 10 my AMD Athlon 4000+ struggles to play even 720 videos. My cpu is by no means a top performer, it is however capable of handling somewhere in the region of a billion instructions per second. for video content to require that amount of data to be handled is rediculous.
HD content played back on my local machine using a different codec, my cpu barely even uses 5 - 10% cpu time, not only that, these videos have roughly about the same compression rates as flash videos. i just don't understand how flash can require so much resources without taking into account innefficient and bloated code.
today i tried to access a web page that required flash content to display images, it was not a video, but an image database, going from one page to the next took somewhere in the region of 20 - 30 seconds, while my cpu maxed out at 100% and firefox stopped responding, which is totally unnacceptable.
it wouldn't normally be a problem if there were good alternatives, but there aren't any, im stuck with this piece of crap software if i want to view any flash content. the only real alternative is to upgrade, which i am not prepared to do if the next version of flash is just going to push those boundries even further for features i don't need.
my proposal is to:
1. rewrite the code with effeciency rather than new features in mind, if that means getting able programmers in, then so be it.
2. make flash modulous, where the basic package provides capabilties to play flash content and separate plugins to provide for all the individual unnecessary features that are not required for basic flash content. surely you can build a package that provides all those plugins for regular users and a basic package + optional plugins for those who know what they want or need.
it really makes no sense why such a large corporation with all this experience to provide a product that quite simply.. sucks, well it does actually, either your programmers are incapable of creating a stable, efficient product or you are purposly trying to push hardware upgrades onto people. lets not forget that flash content is huge business on the web, adobe flash player has a strangle hold on that market, it would be naive to think that hardware vendors have not approached adobe with specifications to further make the money wheel go round.
sort it out, because i for one, am in the process of completely removing my dependancy on adobe flash, if the right product comes along, others will do to, in droves. it's a bubble that is going to burst and there is no way back when you have millions of lines of quite frankly, amateurish code.

Eric,
The GTX 650 would be priced slightly higher than the GT 640 - and then, the OP would have to "settle" for only 1GB of graphics RAM instead of 2GB. The GTX 650 is currently not available with 2GB of RAM.
Both the GT 640 and the GTX 650 are based on the same GPU - the GK107, with 384 CUDA cores. The two major differences are that the GK107 on the GTX 650 is clocked higher than the one on the GT 640, and that the GTX 650 has almost triple the memory bandwidth of the GT 640 (80 GB/s versus 28.8 GB/s).

I need help getting my Intuos5 to work with Flash CS6

Can someone give me some help with this? I can't find a single thing on Google that helps me.
I installed Adobe Flash CS6 recently and I have been using my Intuos5 Large for a long time now with Photoshop CS6. The thing is, with Photoshop, it took forever to get working properly. It turned out that I needed to use the 64-bit version because my 64-bit system and tablet drivers won't work with 32-bit Photoshop.
Concerning Flash, it's the same problems as Photoshop. It refuses to recognize my tablets functions such as pressure and tilt sensitivity. It also has an annoying lag or lack of response if I do small, quick strokes. I would switch Flash to 64-bit mode, but there isn't one. I can't find the little stroke-like icon in Flash to turn on sensitivity either. I'm really confused. I've tried it with Flash CS5.5 and it's the same thing.
That's my issue, and I have tried restarting the software and rebooting many times as well. There doesn't seem to be much for options. This all leads to it probably being a 64-bit and 32-bit compatability issue
I'm running Windows 7 with more than enough power to maintain Flash CS6. It is possible that I may need to update my tablet driver since I did for Photoshop CS6, but it was a pain in the *** getting Photoshop to work until I used 64-bit mode. I may need additional files to mod the software.
I would really appreciate the help so I can begin to learn animation. It's my passion. Thanks, in advance.

Captivate 5.5 not working with Flash 11.4?

I had Flash 11.4 and published a module with click boxes that jump to URLs. The click boxes don't appear in either preview or published mode. No hand cursor, no click box, no URL, nothing. I've double checked the settings on the click boxes three times... they are correct, and the box is the top most thing on the slide.
Based on advice I found on this forum on other flash problems, I tried uninstalling Flash 11.4 and going back to 10.3. Now every time I try to launch the module I immediately go to the Flash 11.4 download page, and get the message "this content requires Flash to play - download now". So apparently you can't install an earlier version of Flash and use it with Captivate.
Which isn't a solution anyway, because my I don't want my viewers to have to do that to take this training. So what do I do? How do I make these urls available?
I won't waste my time calling Adobe support... I've made that mistake in the past. I'm really hoping someone here can help me. Upgrading to Captivate 6 isn't an option...it's not in the budget. They need to make 5.5 work with Flash - it's not that old. It's SO frustrating that every time there is a Flash upgrade I have problems with this stupid software. If they are going to publish to Flash, they need to keep the software current. They own both products for goodness sake - why don't they work together? Please help!
Thanks for your help.

I doubt that Flash 11.4 is the cause of these issues. Having Flash 11.4 installed on your box doesn't mean your end users will need it.. Captivate 5.5 and 6 will only publish as high as Flash 10.2. So all your end users would need is that version or above.
I assume when you say you have check the settings on your click boxes, you made sure you have them configured to show the hand cursor? If this is not turned on then the normal mouse pointer is all that will be visible. But I'm betting you've checked that already.
What you may not realise is that sometimes Captivate will APPEAR to show your click boxes are on the top layer of the timeline when you look at it in Edit mode, but in fact they may be buried down under other objects in the layers and NOT be clickable at runtime. This has caught me out a few times.
To ensure that your clickboxes ARE on the top layers, select each click box in the timeline and then click the icon on the main toolbar to Bring Selected Objects to the Front. Then publish and test again.

Firefox 7 consistantly crashes with flash content

This is quite frustrating. Ever since the release of FF6 the performance of Firefox with Flash related content literally sucks! The plugin container is ALWAYS crashing consistently.
It seems that in Mozilla race to compete with Google Chrome in their rapid releases has resulted in rapid blunders. If better testing was in place this crap would not be happening. Mozilla needs to slow their roll in all honesty of people that have been long time Firefox users are going to move to Google Chrome since it is not plagued with issues that are getting all kinds of loyal Firefox fans pissed off over something so simple as flash.
I have had more problems with crashing since Firefox 5 has come out. Obviously the proper testing has not been done by Mozilla. In the 3. series i maybe crashed once a year, now is daily! WAKE UP MOZILLA!
Before I go any further i have read numerous post in here with people have the same problem. I have also done some testing on my own from what Mozilla suggests, in which NONE of their solutions corrects this issue. My solution however, which is not a solution but more a work a round solves totally any plugin-container.exe crashing. It was simply to roll back to Firefox 4.01. I updated to the newest flash player via their site.
I have been crash free for days now! THIS IS NOT AN ADOBE FLASH ISSUE. If it were then i would have crashed in 4.01 as well. For those concerned with the update nag, simply go to options->advanced-> and the tick boxes. that will prevent the nag
I thought that i could re-install Firefox 7 and simply replace the plugin-container.exe from 4.01, however that did not work. It resulted in a complete lock up of Firefox 7.01, and was honestly hoping that it would be that straight forward.
I read some peoples success with the 8b3. So, I tried that, and didn't solve my problem. I crashed within 24 hours again on flash related content. ( the crash ids are for the 8b3 i listed ).
Maybe someone needs to take the plugin container, and associated components in 4.01 and incorporate it in a new release, or revert back to that engine all together so that we can have a nice web experience without all the crashes.
You can get Firefox 4.01 here:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/4.0.1/
edit: replaced random unofficial download site link.

I have found the bug thread, and have posted several posts with information and some examples of sites that provide positive crashes.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=561019
From reading the posts, it looks as if Mozilla has moved this up a bit in priority according to reading into a post from one of the mozilla's team members since I have provided information concerning the crashes.
That particular bug ( Bug 561019 - Plugin waveOutOpen hangs ) is the TOP crasher of plugins:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/topcrasher/byversion/Firefox/7.0.1/7/plugin
As far as reporting bug/hangs. The end user has to press the " submit crash report " link to submit it. If they do not it will sit there until you go into about:crashes
For hangs that DO NOT produce a crash you once again have to go into about:crashes and click on all the reports that DO NOT have a " bp " in front of them to get them to actually submit. They will post in about 3 minutes.
So for the "400 million" said users and " hard facts tend to suggest that most users do not crash " is unreliable to state since it is TOTALLY up to the end user to submit the report providing they know how. I know from working in a professional environment 99.9% of users do not submit error reports of any kind when something crashes the OS or any program. Even with the 9 members of my team they always click "do not send" except for myself.
" Get rid of plugin container " is a non option since you run the risk of features not working as i have found when you do that.
It does seem like a Firefox issue for several reasons: latest version of flash with Firefox v4.01 works flawlessly, and Chrome and IE do not have this issue with flash.

[resolved] Launching crash with Flash builder and Unrecognized Java VM option

Hello,
I just wanted to share my experience with Flash Builder. Funny if we can call it like that...
I tried to launch Flash builder, which worked since years without problem, but here, there was a problem. In the console log; it says only that :
Unrecognized Java VM option ignored: -Xdock:name=Flash Builder
Unrecognized Java VM option ignored: -Xdock:icon=../Resources/fb_app.icns
Unrecognized Java VM option ignored: -XstartOnFirstThread
I read tons of threads explaining things i didn't understand.
And then I remembered that I changed the name of a folder containing a Flash Builder project (I just removed spaces in the name).
So I renamed it the way it was.
Done...
Hope it will help!
