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 !

I've tried to connect a box2d classpath I have to adobe pro cc via a source path in the actionscipt settings. I get a warning saying "A definition for the document class could not be found in the classpath, so one will be automatically generated in the SWF file upon export." When I do this the code still does not recognize the box2d commands. Any help is appreciated, thanks so much!
Edit: So I have now replaced the primary source folder thanks to Cadin's observation and the Box2d library commands are being recognized, however, I get several errors saying:
"Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: b2World."
"Call to a possibly undefined method b2AABB."
and
"Definition Box2D.Collision:b2AABB could not be found."
I am extremely stuck and don't know what to do. I am fairly well versed with flashdevelop. But it has been a while since I've worked with flash pro. Thanks so much!
It sounds like the error is complaining about your Document Class, not Box2D.
When you added the source path to Box2D, did you add a new path, or replace the default one?
It's easy to accidentally replace the default path and get all kinds of class linking weirdness. Check the source path settings and make sure you still have a listing for "." That tells Flash to look in the current directory (where the FLA is) for source files. If your document class is in that directory, Flash won't find it without that source path.
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.
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
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'm new to FDT and I'd like to move some (actionscript)projects from FlexBuilder to FDT.
I've noticed FDT can read .actionscriptProperties from FlexBuilder, so just setting the workspace to my FlexBuilder workspace got the projects, the current one open, the rest of them closed which is great.
I got a an error on the way:
"Error opening the editor.
No editor descriptor for id com.adobe.flexbuilder.editors.actionscript.ActionScriptEditor"
which makes sense...I the last editor used was the as editor from flexbuilder, which isn't present in fdt...no biggie here.
My problem is that I don't get the FDT autocomplete working, not even for the default AS3 classes( Sprite, TextField, etc. )
I've tried right clicking the project then Flash Project > Remove Flash Nature
then Flash Project > Add Flash Nature again...but it didn't seem to do anything.
I don't even know what it does. I'm guessing it's telling FDT to treat this project as CS3 or Flex compiled project.
I've also imported a project from SVN in FDT and no autocomplete.
So, how do I get the great FDT auto-completion for a FlexBuilder Actionscript Project opened in FDT ?
The currect version of FDT ships with an "Flex project importer". In the flash explorer under "Import -> Import Flex Builder 3 Projects".
I think I must be satisfied with the answer that there is no easy answer. The is no lazy-man's option of just opening a flexproject in fdt just like that and having everything working.
So I guess the answer would be using Export/Import.
