Flash pro CS55 vs. Flash Builder 45

Dear Adobe community,

I'm a programmer Flash Pro (AS3) for some time, but since the advent of the Adobe Air for Android and iOS this year, I saw increasing the amount of movement in the use of Flex and Flash Builder 4.5. For moderators/experts Adobe as well as community members, what in your opinion and your experience, are the benefits of a stay with Flash Pro to develop mobile applications with the help of Flash Builder 4.5?

Thank you for your advice,

Alex

I love Flash Pro.

If you want to do something that is more about the components and fluid patterns, the same application can be published quickly for different screens on the web, iOS, Android and PlayBook, then perhaps that Flash Builder would be good. Especially if you like more technical IDEs and most of what you do is AS3 code based package.

If you are more on the use of components, graphics, animations, and completely free ways of working (even if you work with AS3 package approaches if you want), then Flash Pro is always a lot of fun to use.

  • 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:

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

    Please solve this problem.

    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.

  • Compile the SWF version 14 (3.1 Air) of Flash Pro CS55 possible?

    Dear Adobe community,

    Anyone could take a FLA file in Flash Pro CS55 and 'release' a SWF as a version 14 (3.1 Air)? I try to use a native extension for iOS on GitHub, but my app is in Flash Pro and so were the publication, then using ADT to compile native extensions I need. However, to use the features of iOS5 (and add additional frames of Xcode as MessageUI), the swf file must be version 14.

    With the last update of Flash Pro CS55, my compiled SWF files are version 13, and when I try to publish an ipa-ad-hoc file, it tells me that version 'root swf file' is 13, while the extension (I'm assuming that library.swf) is in version 14. Of course, I tried the Air SDK 3.1 coming overlap appropriate within CS55, directories like I did with Air SDK 3.0, but no go?

    Thanks and regards,

    Alex

    The answer is Yes.

    It took me a few hours to realize what was wrong. Some time ago I've superimposed SDK 3.1. I changed the version from 11 to 13 as suggested in step 12 in the instructions here:

    http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/908/cpsid_90810.html

    I remember having trouble with it, but it finally worked. Now, I had to spend up to 14, and I had the same problem. It took me a few hours to resolve.

    There seems to be an undocumented problem with to change the version number in the players xml files. It seems that the data in these files are actually stored in the fla file. This means that the data of a specific fla file are not updated until that you enable the setting-player slot the > Publish. This worked for me, after upgrading the Air for Android and then come back to look for iOS.

    I hope this can help.

  • Design of GUI/Graphics in Flash Builder

    In Flash Pro, you can make different screens for your app (IE menu principal, options) and separate them into different "clips". Exactly how can I do a complex GUI and store it in Flash Builder? Wouldn't be bad practice to separate each screen in its own class that extends MovieClip? Then add one to the scene and remove and add another when the screen must be turned on? Or just visibilities of swap?

    visibilitys swaping is a good idea as long as it is no animation running, enter frames or timers that interact with hidden clips. and use the visibility and no alpha. alpha clips are calculated, even when they are 'invisible '.

    in the sense of ease, the 'best' is to implement your structure of movieclip in flash, export it as a SWC library and import it into you project in flash builder. don't ask me how this works, I don't use flash or flash builder. just Flash develop.

  • Install the CS6 Upg on CS5.5 but how to remove Flash Builder 4.5 first?

    I installed my new CS6 Master Collection Update on my CS5.5 Master Collection.  My CS6 serial number was accepted and now it shows me a screen of options.  It has all the individual products checked except two.  The first is not verified is Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 and it gives me a warning message, "a preliminary or contradictory of Adobe Flash Builder version 4.6 exists on this computer.  The contradictory version must be removed before the installation of the current media.  When I try to uninstall Flash Builder 4.5 of the splash screen, the next thing I see is the screen of the Control Panel programs but this software does not appear.

  • 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

  • Edition for Mac from the PC with Flash Builder 4.6

    I recently spent Flash Flash Builder Pro to write actionscript projects. I want to publish the application over for PC and Mac. I don't want to use the air installer as most potential customers will look installed. I tried the option captivates runtime and this works well for the PC version, but I'm not sure how to package files for use on a Mac or if there is an option more suitable for the app Mac (for example the Mac in Flash Pro projector)

    Any help would be appreciated.

    You should be able to make a swf file. Just worry that other things if you deploy for iOs (iPhone or iPad), not Mac in general.

  • Flash Builder or Flash Professional?

    Hey,.

    Wondering your opinion that it is better to use? Flash Builder or Flash Professional?

    Personally I want to drop profesiional flash and just keep developing in flash builder, but before I I want to know if I'll lose all the benefits or acquire and whether it is a good decision?

    I can code everything in flash builder and love working in flash builder on office games Mobile Games environment AND sometimes.

    So, what do you think I should do? What do you think.

    Thank you

    Flash builder is more restricted than the flash pro.  But if you do not use all of the flash pro design tools/timeline etc. and you are happy with flash builder, use.

  • Flash Builder random error associated with CFCS 'qnx-screen '.

    Hey all,.

    It's been about 8 months since I finally published my app PlayBook... It's been long since, so I'm a bit rusty...

    I'm seeing my source code, compile it with the new SDK.

    I downloaded the Simulator 2.0, updated the OS on my tablet to 2.0 and installed the new Tablet OS Beta 2.0 SDK.

    I am trying to get my application up and running, and I get this error:

    "Description Resource Path location Type
    "Could not open" / Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.5/sdks/RIM/blackberry-tablet-sdk-2.0.0/frameworks/libs/qnx-screen ' PaperRobo unknown Flex problem.

    I use a Mac and Flash Builder 4.5 running

    I use the Flex SDK 4.5.1... and it seems that all the appropriate Blackberry tablet SDK swcs are connected properly... See screenshot:

    Any ideas what's not here?

    It also looks that QNXApplicationEvent no longer exists?

    I also tried to create a new project from scratch and get the same error of Flash Builder

    I don't think that there is nothing wrong with your stature. Try to create a new project, as shown in jtegen and see if it works. If this does not work, you can still manually add the .swc files.

    It seems to be looking for them in the wrong place.

    "/ Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.5/sdks/RIM/blackberry-tablet-sdk-2.0.0/framework"

    s/libs/qnx-screen'

    Should be "/ Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.5/sdks/RIM/blackberry-tablet-sdk-2.0.0/framework"

    s/libs/qnx/qnx-screen

    If you do this be sure to do the qnx - air.swc marked as external.

  • Don't Flash Builder 4.7 problem - no platform BB

    Hi, I installed the FB 4.7 on my PC.

    I downloaded the SDK of AIR in BB Site and installed.

    I tried to create a project, but there are only two platforms listed, it's to say, iOS and Android and no BB it.

    Anyone faced the same problem before? 0o0o

    I use Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 for my Blackberry 10 development, although I use Macbook would highlight, but I also had FB4.7 installed on the PC. It is quiet easy to install BB Developer tools on PC.

    1. first of all, you must run FB4.7 with administrative control.

    2. in your IDE FB4.7 Menu, click help-> install BB 10 publication support or install new software-> type "Blackberry" next to work with, now, you will see the option of ' Blackberry plugin for Flash Builder 4.7... '-> option-> check on BB OS Support checkbox statement select 10, press 'Next' then finished once installed.

    3. restart your Flash Builder and try to create the new project Mobile AS3 or Flex Mobile, you will see Blackberry option along with two others.

    Note: BB 10.1 and before, support Adobe AIR version 3.1 only so make sure that you have not superimposed latest version of Adobe AIR in your Flash Builder.
