• Burrito of flash builder design mode is a white screen and does not not all components

  Hey guys, for some reason none of my components appear any, when I go to design mode in flash builder burrito, and the screen is white. When I run the app, it works very well and seems very well my only problem is that I don't understand what is happening in "Design Mode". Someone has a similar problem to this, also, I don't get any errors about not being not able to load the design view just a pop-up that says that it takes a while to load and to continue or not. The only time I see a component is when I go to the source and highlight a component then go into design mode, then u see a blue outline of the component. You can see in my screenshot above. Any help would be great, thanks in advance.

  Thanks again,

  Brian

  Design mode does not work if you include qnx libraries in the path of the libraries due to a bug in FB, there is a flag to uncheck (qnx libraries) in the project to BBT properties

• Flash Builder UI

  Why ADM is discouraged in new versions and what are the benefits of Flash builder on it?

  and please give me a link so that I can learn more about flash...?

  SMA is a fairly old technology and is gradually removed from Illustrator, so why it is not recommended. If you create a plugin that uses WMD in CS5 so do not expect that it will work in CS6!

  Flash UI, which are the CSXS Extensions can be created in flash builder, Extension Builder (which is a plugin for flash builder specially designed for the development of the extension). You can download a trial version of EB and read the documentation and tutorials on the devnet page: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/cs-extension-builder.html

  As well as the interface user for plugins, you can also write extensions entirely in actionscript that interact directly with the Illustrator script DOM (using libraries CSAW), in fact the extensions can be extremely powerful - have a look at the blog of messages/tutorials related to this devnet page if you are interested. Another good point is that if you develop for many products, you can write the user interface once and it will work I, Ps, Id, and more.

  As for which is better, it is certainly much faster to develop actionscript based UIS - take a look at the example of FreeGridUI in the CS5 SDK or download the sample in Extension Builder extensions (available under the eclipse Import... menu item) to see how easy it is to write an extension. The main complexity with use of an extension as a front-end is the communication between the native plugin and extension flash (which is possible by sending XML via CSXS events), but it's pretty simple once you've done it a couple of times!

  For the user interface, you can drag and drop widgets in a graphical editor, write and modify your MXML (an XML variant) user interface code and previsualisez without evening that executes your code - it had developed a compelling UI really quick and easy. Not only that, but the use of the generator of the extension, it is easy to run/debug/profile your extension directly in Illustrator (or other point products). There are full of large flash applications and a large community - a community much larger than those experienced with ADM. If you try to find a way to do something in an actionscript UI you will probably be able to find something quickly - after all an extension is based on flash, so you can reuse code snippets and code flash/Air applications.

  For learning flash, the Flex in a week video tutorial is a great place to start - check it out at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining.html. You should be aware that extensions must use Flex 3.4 to CS5/5.5, then part of the substance in the flex in a tutorial of the week does not apply (it is oriented towards Flex 4). There are also a lot of great samples/tutorials on the internet to help you get started, and samples that come with builder extension show you how to use the CSXS stack for things like menus that drop down from the Panel, preferences, etc.

  As well as Flash you can also write your user interface code items in a third party such as Qt so widget setting you prefer to stay in C++ code. I have not tried it personally, but there are a few messages on the forum, that you may find useful if you are interested in this approach, and other users might be able to help too.

  Hope that helps, sorry for the somewhat disjointed response!

• Flash Builder 4.5 newbie help

  Hey guys,.

  Thank you for taking the time to read my post and help out me.  I am currently just learning actionscript 3 and I have been using flash professional in order to program most of my first flash programs, I want to take one of my ideas and create to run on blackberry playbook, then I downloaded flash builder 4.5 and have set up my whole environment.

  Im running into that problem is with flash professional imaging and video clips was as simple as adding objects to the library and then set up the link, so it could be used by your AS3 code, frames and layers were added through the... well with flash builder user interface, I have no idea of how to do because there is no GUI I wonder if someone could explain how to create and link to video clips and work with managers using the flash builder 4.5... I know this is probably a stupid question, but I'm not just

  Thanks in advanced for any help

  Hi nateatkins, Flash Builder is a software to develop flex and as3 applications. Do things with Flash Builder, you must code in .as and .mxml files. Flash you gives the opportunity to the graphic element, add them to a library, animate using the software interface and controls and publish them right out of the box, but this isn't the purpose of Flash Builder. You can use Flash to make a library of graphic elements, configure these elements to be available as classes in Actionscript, then export your library as a CFC to use them in a draft code of Flash Builder. Or you can choose to encode your actionscript code using external .as files in Flash and flash builder allows you to write them. Flash Builder is intended to make life easier when you are working on the code project using as3 object oriented and let encode you faster. Flash has its limits to help you when it's time to code, Flash Builder is there to improve your workflow development if necessary.

• Wait on Flash Builder 4.5 and other stuff

  Initially, I wanted to ask a question, but after trying to find information on when FB 4.5 will be communicated, I came across a little information.  I hope someone rim reads this.

  Can anyone confirm if the final FB 4.5 will allow the use of design with the libraries of qnx?  It has been said in this post, he does.

  While I was trying to find that out I came across this little nugget on Adobe 4.5 FAQ:

  Flash Builder 4.5 now requires AIR 2.6 for mobile applications. RIM plans to deliver an over-the-air update for AIR 2.6 later in 2011, allowing developers to then use Flash Builder 4.5 for PlayBook application development. This means that developers will be able to recompile applications built for Android at that time for deployment to the BlackBerry PlayBook.
  

  Anyone know when this might be?

  I am mainly interested in can quickly access my screens with actionscript, mxml and design mode and use or C++ for complicated stuff.  Currently the design mode does not work and I'd rather not have to wrap each qnx component that I want to use so it will work even in mxml.

  Currently, we have not shared a release date for future updates to the runtime LOOK on the PlayBook. I can tell you that we are working on it well.

• Create plugins in Indesign using Adobe flash builder 2.6

  Dear Sir.

  I would like to develop a plugin in In Design using flash builder 2.6, but I used before I download Adobe extension builder 2.1 to integrate flash Builder 2.6, but now I can't find a way to get Adobe extension 2.1 and version 2.0 of the Ewer can be integrated into flash builder 2.6

  So what can I please?

  and if InDesign have abandoned Flash in indesign-based panels, so what's the easiest way to build a powerful without the help of C++ plugins, I need to create the plugin to add to the menu with a specific, not in the script Panel name

  Thanks in advance

  See here for my response to the original thread.

  Note you do not need extension fancy or short-lived technology to create menus, going for a simple ExtendScript.

• Flash Builder 4.7 continues more?

  I posted this question in the Adobe Air development forum. (Is Flash Builder 4.7 being maintained?)

  A user replied that he had heard Chris Campbell of the Adobe report that he believed that they will fix major bugs, but we should expect no real progress on the tool itself because Adobe thinks that the community creates the best tools on their own.

  Someone on this forum has more information on the future of Flash Builder? I am trying to decide if it's time to jump ship to another IDE.

  Thank you kindly!

  Hello

  The best alternative to Flash Builder is FDT, but it does not support the mode of creation of MXML.

  http://FDT.powerflasher.com/

  The 2nd choice is IntelliJ IDEA, you can download a plugin MXML Design View, this is very cool.

  http://www.JetBrains.com/idea/features/flex_ide.html

  The 3rd choice is FlashDevelop, it's free and open source, but it is Windows only, and it does not either MXML Design mode support.

• Flash Builder on Mac Lion 10.7.5 4.6: cannot run the Setup program: certificate revoked

  Hello

  You are aware that FB 4.6 is not install more OS x 10.7.5 and maybe OS X in general?

  Because I really need design view last FB does not offer, I just downloaded 4.6 FB for OS X from Adobe: Adobe - Adobe Flash Builder 4: for Macintosh: Flash Builder 4.6 - Mac OS: thanks

  My real OS X is 10.7.5, Lion.

  Launch of the install.app, it appears an error window:

  

  Please be aware that I know that this message comes from Gatekeeper, see for example: OS X: on Gatekeeper

  The fact is that this problem is not solvable, apparently.

  The problem is with the application signing certificate, as you can see issuing the command:

  bash - 3.2 # spctl - has Install.app

  Install.app: CSSMERR_TP_CERT_REVOKED

  So, here we have a certificate of _revoked_, not a certificate/developer unknown or app unsigned.

  Indeed, unfortunately the problem persists even disabling Gatekeeper:

  bash - 3.2 # spctl - status

  co-pays disabled

  since apparently a revoked certificate is not an error that can be ignored or circumvented somehow.

  As far as I KNOW, the idea behind this is: Apple actually provide no verification quality on applications (they are not "approved by") but may possibly (if there are "problems") block a via the recall mechanism. Because of this, the _revoked? _ check cannot be bypassed/disabled. I'll try as soon as POSSIBLE an upgrade of the OS to see if with the Mountain Lion (10.8) I can possibly force execution Install.app, but chances appear to be rare so far.

  So, Adobe, can you help me please?

  Maybe sign with a certificate valid for this installer...

  FB4.6 is essential because it is the last version with DV. I had to install FB46 on Windows to keep working, but it's no doubt slow me down as everything is on Mac.

  ARO

  a pro developer.

  Hello all, good news: after updating to 10.8.5, Mountain Lion I was able to run the Setup program and all went well.

  Mountain lion allows the user force execution through the command open context menu (CTRL-click) and it works, just as simple as that.

  So my advice is: If you want to install or reinstall Flash Builder 4.6 on a Mac with Lion installed, updated to Mountain Lion or better to avoid problems.

  Apple introduced some (not all) Gatekeeper 10.7.3 and following features, but apparently you need a full-fledged 10.8 to also have what you need to work around a revoked certificate error.

  Since usually OS X has auto update active, if you run Lion you find with 10.7.5 and do not install FB46. If you manage to somehow hold 10.7.2 I guess you should be able to install FB46, sincerely I don't check it out. In any case, it is simpler and safer to move to 10.8.x.

  Good bye

• Extension for CS 5, 6 and versions CC in Flash Builder 4.6 fails to initialize

  Hi all

  I develop an extension for Illustrator CS5, 6 and CC versions. I use the versions of Flash Builder 4.6 and Extension Builder 2.1. When I create a new project and add a minimal support for CS5, I am unable to view the design of the project resulting. I don't understand why. If I add a minimal help for CS6, design mode works very well. What is behavior?

  Also, I expect to use datagrid spark in my extension, it supports smooth scrolling. I'm not able to do the same, as the extension never initializes.

  Here's the screeshot of the compiler settings:

  

  And here's what I get the error:

  

  What can I do to make my work?

  Hello

  Unfortunately, the Design view is completely unusable with the Extension Builder 3.4 needed to create a CS5 extension... So, you will see a black screen instead of your user interface. The only solution is to write your code and test. Previous versions of Extension Builder working on a previous version of Flash Builder and Design mode worked as expected...

  Best,

• Buy Flash Builder 4.6

• Destroy... What would cause a Flash Builder crashing repeatedly on the same. MXML file?

  Hello

  I'm building a pretty simple application and I changed something in a .mxml file pretty simple and all of a sudden whenever I open the file for editing, Flash Builder crashes and dies horribly.

  If I have all the code in comment and reopen Flash Builder, I can open and edit the file correctly. I can even put all the original in the code and test the application successfully.

  But...

  When I put all the code back in and then go back to edit the file, Flash Builder exterminates in a sort of permanent and irrevocable while I comment on all the code to make it work again...

  I tried to export, delete, import to reset the project, but the problem is recurring.

  Then...

  It is clear that I wrote something in my .mxml file that sends Flash Builder in an infinite loop of godawful or another dead end, but I'm at a loss to say what, as it is very MXML very base and direct without (far as I can tell) something unusual... and I've been professional programming with Flex for a number of years and built some _big_ Meanwhile applications...

  If someone has experienced something similar? Any ideas what I could do?

  Thank you

  G

  Found the little git.

  Somehow, I had marked "Enable design mode" and the designer was attempting to make a wide range of custom controls that she had no idea what to do with.

  I think, I _may_ have tried the design mode for about five minutes about five years ago and decided it wasn't for me... If so, this opinion still stands.

  I have "Enable design mode" Unflagged and suddenly everything plays well again.

• How to install the plugin of Flash Builder for Eclipse 4 (Juno) 4.6

  I just download Juno (Eclipse 4.2 32 bit) and wanted to install my plugin FB 4.6, but the installer says "Adobe Flash Builder requires Eclipse 3.6 or later" - which is superimposed, like Juno is the last and version 4.

  Looks like a bug with the installer doesn't recognize any version of Eclipse above 3.X.

  How can I work around this?

  Thank you

  B

  Install on Eclipse 3.7 and then copy the dropins on 4.2 installation folder.

  The first eclipse start was slow and I got the first point of view switch Flash NullPtr. But on the next departure, everything was ok.

  I can debug, GUI building, create new Flash projects... Maybe some things will not work... But I don't think that I'll need them.

• Flash Builder looks blurry on Macbook Pro with the retina display

  Hello

  Interface Builder Flash looks blurry on MacBook Pro with the retina display.

  Here is the screenshot:

  http://i.imgur.com/qMmmu.png
  

  Enlarge the image in actual size and notice that the interface of Flash Builder looks blurry.

  Please solve this problem.

  Andrey

  I had the same problem - could not believe my eyes on how horrible and blurry Flash Builder looked on my new Macbook Pro w retina.  Through she had suffered since last week and have just discovered this work around that someone figured out for Eclipse that also works on Flash Builder (guess b/c it is built on Eclipse).  Here is the link to the bug report that shows the work around (thanks to Brad Hudgeons):

  https://bugs.Eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=382972

  Here is a cut and paste from the bug report in the case of the above url is deleted:

  Here's the workaround:  Do "Show package contents" on the Eclipse.app.  Edit Contents/Info.plist.  Just above     Place this:  NSHighResolutionCapable 
  

  Instead of Eclipse, display the contents of the package on Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.app.   After you change the Info.plist file, go to the Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.app and reproduce.  It will create an Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 copy.app.  Delete your original Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 and rename the Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.app copy.app.  Then launch Flash Builder - you should see the text which is much clearer.  The graphics on the user interface are still unclear but at least the text should be crispy.

• Flash pro and flash builder: difference of resolution

  I have already developed with flash pro for Android (Actionscript 3 - android 2.3.3 - Air 2.6). I try to use Flash Builder (for more developer features).

  But with the same code (an example of Véronique Brossier book) I can not get the same result.

  With flash pro, my three sprites are 150, 350 and 550 pixels high.

  With flash builder, they run over 350, 550 and 750.

  I'have the same result on my device (Galaxy score) or imitated a.

  Flash pro I can specify the height and the width of the stage. I did find the same settings in flash builder.

  What could be wrong in my process?

  the main code is here:

  public void FirstApp() {}

  the constructor code

  var callButton:Sprite = createSprite (0xFF3300, 100, 100);

  callButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, callMe);

  addChild (callButton);

  var textButton:Sprite = createSprite (0x0099FF, 100, 200);

  textButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, textMe);

  addChild (textButton);

  var mailButton:Sprite = createSprite (0x00FF11, 100, 300);

  mailButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, mailMe);

  addChild (mailButton);

  }

  function createSprite(hue:int,_xPos:int,_yPos:int):Sprite {}

  var tmp:Sprite = new Sprite();

  tmp.graphics.beginFill (hue, 1);

  tmp.graphics.drawRect (PosX, Posy, 200, 100);

  tmp.graphics.endFill ();

  tmp.x = xPos;

  tmp.y = yPos;

  return tmp;

  }

  Yes, it is preferable to calculate the dimensions according to capabilies device to accommodate devices with different sizes and screen different portrait/landscape orientation.

  > I try to play with the StageScaleMode value without success. I would get the same result as in Flash pro. Flash pro, I specified the width and height of my internship and I asked an application "full screen" in the settings. Yes, wathever device I use, the application had the same look.

  Do you know if there is a way, in flash builder, in order to obtain this behavior?

  The value default StageScaleMode SHOW_ALL in this case if doesnot display of the device is the size of the scene that you specify in Flashpromanager.new, the content would be to evolve upwards or downwards in order to show all the content of the scene. This may show the borders if the proportions of the scene is not the same as the aspect ratio of the screen of the device.

  If you set it to StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE none of your content would be to evolve which explains why you see small Elves.

  To make it look like Flash Pro, in the SWF meta data tag, enter the height and identical width of Document Pro Flash width and height.

  together left-align at the top that you already do but let the StageScaleMode SHOW_ALL.
