I'm having a strange issue with Flash Builder 4.
It shows all my objects in a Flash Professional FLA file as errors.
Let's say I have five buttons in my moview named: button1, button2, button3, button4, button5.
Flash Builder is flagging all of them with red error on the right side of the screen as button1 is undefined. But it is button in the FLA movie and FB4 cannot see it.
It's really annoying with a large project showing 100 errors.
This never happened before in using Flash Builder.
It still compiles and plays in Flash when I test movie, but I would like it to either see the buttons and accept them or ignore them altogether.
This is the problem with lib - playerglobal.swc
Try to remove it from library list then add it again. Path to the swc may look like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5.5\Common\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\FP10.2
Did you choose "Flash Professional Project" when you created the Flash Builder project?
If so, check that the .fla is present and pointing to the correct path in Project -> Properties -> Flash Professional
and that it is set as default in Project -> Properties -> Actionscript Applications

this is for flash CS6 AS3 AIR
Seriously I've been searching for 3 days straight
found these among others.

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air_update_framework.html
but they all output errors like Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 2 1172: Definition air.update.events:UpdateEvent could not be found. not all have this specific error but they all have a definition error. Apart from that they are doing a lot of things in the tutorial that I simply don't need.
I already made a version detector and right now it's downloading the air file to the desktop but I need something more practical. is there something like updatenTo(http://address.com/myApp.air) - which just start the air updateframework to update from the .air file at the refered address.
or even a download command that tells me where the user downloaded the file to so I can execute the file and terminate the program. like file.addEventListener(Event.locationOfDownload,downloadFileContainFunction);
or link me to a tutorial that has working code.
Okay, so my problem here actually boiled down to finding "applicationupdater.swc" and how to import it.
It's found at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS6\AIR3.2\frameworks\libs\air" on my machine
One can import it by going to "publish settings" and click the wrench key next to "script: ActionScript 3.0" and going to the library path clicking the little red f on white background.
That error is telling you that you haven't imported the class or embedded the library you are trying to use.
Can you debug and step through the code of a swc files in flash builder?
Let's say you even have access to source code (coming from flex library project or flash professional project)! If how?
Thanks
Yes you can, though there are some limitations (as FlashBuilder will tell you when you do it), but simple stepping is no problem.
If you have the source code in a project in FlashBuilder, FB should find the associated code automatically. If you don't you can associate the source code to the swc manually. Go to the Flex Build Path window; click on the arrow next to the swc; double click the row that says "Source attachment" and enter the path to the source code.
still getting use to Flash Builder.
i'm writing pure ActionScript, without MXML, to create AIR applications.
when i try to reference the documentation by Command + Clicking on code (in this case i Command + Clicked on "Sprite") i receive the following error:
Source could not be found for
flash.display.Sprite in
/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4/
sdks/4.1.0/frameworks/libs/air/airglobal.swc
i'm trying to launch the Adobe Help application, if it's not already open, and display the appropriate documentation. same this as if i had Right-Clicked on some code in Flash Professional CS5 and select View Help from the popup list.
Shift + F2 To change it, go to window -> preferences -> general -> keys.
Command clicking on a class name takes you to its source file. Cmd-clicking any class you wrote yourself or have .as files for in your source path, will do that but for the built-in classes that live inside swcs you don't have the source. So that's what the error tells you.
New in FlashBuilder4 is the ASDoc window that will show you documentation for the class that your cursor is near (don't know how to phrase that accurately).
What is sadly missing as far as I know from FB4 is the help section containing the ActionScript dictionary. Only online but not as easily usable as context-help was in FB3.
I have a .fla on my Mac that I created in Flash cs5. I saved it as a cs4 file and sent it to a friend who has a Windows machine.
I have a symbol linked to an AS class which has symbols inside of it which have instance names. The constructor of the class refers to these instance names. When I compile, everything works as expected. When my friend compiles, he gets compiler errors telling him that the instances mentioned above are undefined.
I'm at a complete loss. Any ideas why this is happening?
Things we've tried:
Checked to make sure that we had the same source path
Made sure that the symbol in the Flash IDE has the correct linkage
Tried compiling the .fla with cs4 on my machine. It works, which is what makes me think it's a Mac/Windows issue.
Try going to publish settings -> flash -> [settings button next to "as3] - the same place you go to set your classpath. There is a checkbox there that says declare stage instances - it sounds like its unchecked on the cs4 windows version... it should be checked if you don't want to have to write things like :
public var myClip:MovieClip;
for every instance that you've placed using the flash ide.
I have been working on modifying an existing FLVPlayback skin. Ideally I would like to have one that uses a counter.
The problem is, all the fla's provided for the skins with counters fail to publish/compile correctly. Fla's are here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5\Common\Configuration\FLVPlayback Skins\FLA\ActionScript 3.0
I do end up with a swf, but it doesnt' work when applied to my FLVPlayback instance on the stage. (All skin fla's beggining with 'Minima' do not work, even the skins without the counters)
I get the following warning when publishing: Warning: unable to load SWC FLVPlaybackAS2.swc
If I go to 'File -> Publish Settings -> Flash -> Settings', FLVPlaybackAS2.swc is not in my Library Path. So, I added it... (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS5\Common\Configuration\Components\Video\FLVPlaybackAS2.swc) But I get the exact same warning.
It seems strange to me that it would throw a warning about FLVPlaybackAS2.swc... this is an AS3 fla provided by Adobe. I also tried adding FLVPlaybackAS2.swc, FLVPlaybackAS3.swc, FLVPlaybackAS3_2.5.swc etc, with no change.
Another developer here has tried also and come up with the same problem. We are both on PC's and have all Adobe updates.
Anyone have any ideas?!
Thanks,
James.
Guys... I found answer ! Just remove all from your source paths in the publish settings when you look to ActionScript 3.0 setting for your Skin FLA ! ( as default you can see here some path to video folder where is SWC files)
it's look like a bug but i did it and now my skin working.. now in this lines are empty field in my FLA..
if you want ask me and i will answer how it works.. good luck with this strange bug !
