Workflow between Flash Professional and Flash Builder

I am new to using Flash Builder as editor AS3 for Flash Professional projects.  I followed several tutorials on the workflow between the two but keep hitting a snag.

Linking the .fla and the .as seems to work without any problem... the issue is when I try to "export for actionscript movieclip" in flash, then try to edit this movieclip using flash builder. Flash builder loads as expected, and the creation of a new actionscript class dialog appears.  All the appropriate data is filled in but the button is grey "Finish."  If I browse the default package, and then click OK it shows an error in the top of the dialog box saying "Super class flash.display.MovieClip cannot be resolved for the selected project."  This happens whenever I have enter 'flash.display.MovieClip' in the field of the superclass, when you create a new class or attempt to change the definition of class to a MovieClip in .fla library.  Why is it not recognize references to flash.display.MovieClip? Concidering the majority of my actionscripting will need to reference movieclips, this is a pretty big problem. No idea what could be casuing it... a google search has proved to be unnecessary.

See you soon,.

Not sure what caused the problem, but he had something to do with the .fla

After creating a new .fla and move all the existing movie clips on, it worked fine.

  • What is the difference between a literal and a builder?

    (1) what is the difference between a literal and a builder?

    example:

    var someArray:Array = new Array(1,2,3); // Array constructor
    

    Nothing more than the ECMAScript abbreviation. You can do in JavaScript as well. The two objects are instances of the Array class.

    When you build a large matrix, you will appreciate the approach of stenography. It is much nicer to read. For example:

    var tileMapA:Array = [ [1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
                           [2, 2, 2, 2, 2],
                           [3, 3, 3, 3, 3] ];
    

    VS:

    var tileMapB:Array = new Array( new Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1),
                                    new Array(2, 2, 2, 2, 2),
                                    new Array(3, 3, 3, 3, 3) );
    

    Not a huge difference immediately but expand the latter in much more complex nested table structures and you will clearly see the difference. It's the same thing for new Object() or simply {}.

  • Return between Flash Builder and catalyst?

    It is, or will be - this, be possible to return to Flash Catalyst once a project was brought in Flash Builder?

    I imported the .fxp project into Flash Builder, made some code changes, then exported a .fxp project again.  I want to be able to edit this in catalyst so I can make changes, but when I try to open the project that catalyst says that it cannot be opened because it has been published outside of the application.  Is there something that I am missing or is this all just not yet implemented?

    It would be a shame not to "round trip" of catalyst on the generator.

    Thanks for your time and the product sounds very exciting.

    Hi Watern,

    For the first version of catalyst, we put the spotlight on the one-way workflow of the catalyst on the generator (start in catalyst, complete in Report Designer). We realize that this is a big limitation, hope to address shortly after the first exit.

    There are a number of partial solutions to this problem, you can find by searching on the forum. Most of them involves the Division of labour between the catalyst and Flash Builder as cleanly as possible, which is surprisingly easy to do given the new skinning architecture. Here is an excerpt from a post I wrote and which seems to have been lost:

    "If you are iterating between catalyst and Builder on a custom component, you can find that should divide the component custom off that way. I intend to write an article explaining this, but here is an overview:

    • In Report Builder, create a new subclass of the SkinnableComponent. The logic of the component put in there.

    • If you need to add logic visuals as "now pass the konfabulator 10px left", you should get konfabulator a part of the skin, using the metadata (see Scrollbar.as, in the Flex 4 SDK, for example).

    • If your component has States, declare them with metadata.

    • In the catalyst, make sure your custom component has the parts and States.

    • Then import the custom in Builder component.

    • In the MXML file for the custom component, change the tag root to . It's now a skin (not a component custom).

    • In the MXML file for the skin, add metadata [HostComponent ("com.me.MyComponent")] (see HScrollbarSkin.mxml, in the Flex 4 SDK, for example).

    • Each time that you create the instance, change the code to . Now you can create an instance of your component skinnable and assigning the skin created in catalyst.

    Fact! If you make changes more catalyst, you will have to repeat steps 5 to 7 times (for now!). »

  • Forms services and form builder

    Hello

    We install Oracle Forms 10 g Application Server 10.1.2.0.2. What is the difference between
    Services form and form builder. That a developer should be used for migration, qa goal?

    Thank you
    Sandy

    Sandy,
    Oracle Forms Services is part of the Oracle Application Server and is used by the application server to display a shape built with Oracle Forms. Forms run inside a Java container in a Web browser (Internet Explorer, etc.).

    Oracle Forms Builder is a tool for Rapid Application Development (RAD) used to create UI applications. Your developer will use the existing Forms Builder to create new or edit forms applications.

    I don't know what you mean by Migration and quality assurance. You are migrating from a previous version of the Forms Builder? As for QA, anyone doing QA would need the Forms Builder only if they need to look at the code PL/SQL in a form for compliance with standards, logical appropriate, etc..

    I hope this helps.

  • What is the difference between flash and flash builder professional?

    What is the best for this, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

    They both use actionscript 3?

    -Thank you

    they use as3 and have the same script function.

    Flash offers more artistic freedom / drawing while flash builder has more components pre-integrated.

  • Flash builder why? instead of flash professional IDE

    Sorry if I seem ignorant but most developers and businesses said it is absurd to use professional flash instewad flash builder IDE.

    I am totally ignorant and thought that flash builder was FLEX - that is to say: I have no idea how to program in flex - I can only code in AS3. I'm off track here. What is the advantage of flash builder? ALL the tutorials I've read are on flash and almost never on flash builder - am I getting confused? Generator flash everything easier ID like an environment of coding in AS3 but adding many features to mnake - IE: no difference in coding or the swf produced etc...

    In addition to what the other guys said, Flex Builder (now it is called Flash Builder), Flash IDE, FlashDevelop, FDT and other programs are just development environments that come with some additional benefits. The result is the same - swf that is no different in the heart no matter what environment you are using.

    Conceptually, you can write code in a Notepad, compiler point swf and you will get swf.

    Although the Flash IDE has improved over time as a development tool - it is not a match for environments more sophisticated such as Flash Builder or FDT and FlashDevelop. Note that other than the IDE Flash environments are based on programs that are used by the developers in other languages like Java. For example, Flash Builder is based on Eclipse. This is significant because for many reasons that Flash IDE can not live up to what more robust platforms has evolved into. Unlike the other tools and frameworks, it is very difficult (sometimes impossible) to accommodate the Flash IDE for the development of industrial power. Deployment and version control are the major headaches in the Flash IDE.

    Flex is just a library that is developed on top of AS3 the same as you build your own classes (this is statement is true 95%). Of course, as mentioned, there is an additional way based on xml to develop Flex applications, but in the end, everything is translated into AS3 and compiled. Therefore, Flex application is essentially just a Flash application (and here the word Flash is used as a name of the technology as a whole).

    If you are unsure on what to accept as main tool, remember that the Flash IDE is a tool inherited which Adobe inherited from Macromedia. With the introduction of Flex/Flash Builder Adobe clearly demonstrated a commitment to a business oriented plus technology. Latest version of Flash Builder comes with an attempt to integrate Flash IDE workflow. Basically, the only step left is some kind drag timeline environment in Flash Builder and Flash IDE did die. It is my personal opinion.

    In addition, Adobe is trying hard to integrate their products into a framework/suite so that charts are developed where more natively (Illustrator, PhotoShop, etc.) and export them to the Flash format and programming tasks are accomplished in Flash Builder. It's called Adobe Catalyst.

    I have an idea that Adobe is usually very eager to kill the Flash IDE. The only thing stopping them is, perhaps, they do not want to piss off an already agitated crowd of designers who are reluctant to adopt OOP.

    The fact is that, together with the fact that the IDE Flash is natively a very awkward tool to use for true OOP development, I would recommend to anyone to move away from Flash IDE towards something more sophisticated.

    Of course, it is sometimes necessary to use the timeline to create graphics, but with the advent of physics and 3D libraries - chronology begins to look more in more lame, even for the animations.

    In my opinion there is virtually none of the qualities of redemption in Flash IDE at this stage.

  • Strobe Media Player broke after assets.swc of compilation and compilation project in Flash Builder

    I use CS5.5 - Flash Builder 4.5 and Flash Professional 11.5.1.349.  If I import a new Strobe Media Player 1.6.328 project into Flash Builder and compile, it works as expected and the StrobeMediaPlayback.html page load in my browser and behaves normally.

    Then I load assets.fla into Flash Professional and don't edit and publish a new assets.swc.  Then I go back to Flash Builder and refresh the StrobeMediaPlayback project and recompile.  This time when StrobeMediaPlayback.html loads in the browser, the SWF Strobe is instantiated on the page but is not executed, i.e. no play button and no bar scrub down, just a black box.  The black box right button brings up the Flash menu so the SWF load has it but stopped somewhere running.

    I try to get the debugger working in Flash Builder, but so far without success.

    I hope that someone has seen this before and has some ideas.

    Kind regards

    Tim

    The problem was simply to fonts.  Fonts in StrobeMediaPlayback/assets/fonts must be installed in the operating system.  In my case Windows so just right button on the font file and select install.

  • 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.

  • Can you run Flex Builder 3 and Flash Builder 4 side by side?

    I have what I want, it's a relatively simple matter. Society, I am currently working a number of Flex 3 projects on track to completion or in the last part of their development, phase, but we use SVN version control. It is my understanding that while you can use Flash Builder 4 to create and/or edit and publish Flex 3 projects, once you are using FB4 on a project from version control, anyone who removes this project svn will have to FB4 allows you to change the project. Assuming that is right, can get us FB3 and FB4 installed on our desktops and switch between them according to the projects we use? We hope our developers migrate FB4 they encapsulate the development on Flex 3 projects, but we might need developers working on Flex 4 projects to help on the stages of our Flex 3 applications. Just to clarify: we are both FB3 and FB4 executable running at the same time, just the possibility of close FB4 and launch FB3 and vice versa without going through error or compile questions. We use install it standalone FB, not Eclipse plug-ins, btw.

    Yes - to my knowledge, you can have FB3 and FB4 installed on the same computer without conflict.

    Each separate default version uses the workspace, as soon as you try not to share workspaces between both versions, you should be safe.

  • Windows 2000 Professional and Internet Explorer 6 causes flashing screen

    I have windows 2000 Professional and IE version 6.0.2800.1106.  I have all my screen started flashing when I'm online.  For example, when I watch a video the sound comes through fine but video blinks while it is almost impossible to watch.  Sometimes the pictures flashes also especially if I move my mouse.  When I use mozilla on the same machine, sometimes not.  Nothing happens if I'm not online.  On ie6, if the video has a pop at windows it can be watched, the flash will not occur.  I scanned several times with tools different malware and I do not have a virus.  No idea how to make it stop?  Currently, upgrade is not an option.

  • Flash Builder 4.6 for PHP and SDK 2 questions

    I have problems with Flash Builder for PHP 4.6 and the Playbook Air SDK 2.0. It worked fine with the Air SDK 1 Playbook, but for 2.0 he moved not (error integration with Flash Builder) and when I try to update in Flash builder I get an error of missing requirements. Flash builder 4.6 works fine with the PlayBook SDK, but not the PHP version. I bought the PHP version after the end of my trial of 4.6 so I could build an app that tied in the server services and to think that both versions are the same.

    Everyone knows this and is at - it a solution?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Packaging and signing in Flash Builder Burrito using 0.9.4 SDK

    Hey guys. I know frankly, there are 1 million post on the forums about this, but I wanted to be sure and had a few questions myself. Good so I used Flash Builder Burrito to sign and package my request. My app is a Mobile Flex Application and I use 0.9.4 SDK. I used the MANY post on this forum through signature and methods of packaging and it worked perfectly, no errors at all. The two files that I got after conditioning and signature was my apps .bar and bar.sign files. I saw in other post to extract the .bar file to see if its signed and if the icon is there. How do you do this will WinRAR or PowerISO to extract this file type. I fear only because all Iv seen post are all saying theres tons of bugs with the packaging and signing using burrito, but all I could see was that they were using the SDK 0.9.3. Should I have a problem with my .bar file? I don't know how to extract my .bar file to view the contents, so I can at least check to make sure that it is signed and packaged properly. Can someone me another message or an article on how to extract the .bar file and check to make sure that its all good to present, RIMM. My previous version was rejected of RIMM is not signed and sent the Bug of version. I have just re-climbed the .bar I got to use the new SDK and had no errors, so I hope this is right. Anyway thanks in advance and any help would be great.

    The .bar file is just a zip file.  It will work any util that allows to read a zip file.  If you need to rename the .bar to a zip file, which is OK, but be sure to rename it before upload.
