Flex Builder 3: Debugger traces error, when fixing the as file, keeps throwing same error, stuck in past

I'm running my first project that I'm compiling with flex builder. Before I used to compile with flash or flash develop. For a while it worked pretty neatly. But as soon as it start throwing typeerrors, I can't seem to compile the updated and saved actionscript files. It seems as if it keeps stuck in time and compiles the actionscript f...

How to get command line arguments for a running process

In my program, I have been receiving an error when I use a command-line compile command for mxmlc. The error is related to an embedded font name not being correctly identified by flex in the system fonts list. However, on a whim, I decided to copy the code to Flex Builder and compile it there. To my surprise, it worked, and it found the...

Flex application to component?

I have an application built in Flex Builder 3. It has a fair amount of mxml and as3 code which uses some other custom compenents. I have looked at the documentation on building components which shows how to make a simple mxml or action script component that extends something like a combobox, but I'm lost as to how to take a whole exist...

What needs to be in a .war file to deploy a Flex application?

I've been using Flex Builder 3 to create Flex applications that are part of larger Flex / Java project using LiveCycle Data Services. Flex Builder creates and deploys the .war file, which is convenient for the development cycle, but I don't understand what the .war file has to contain in order to deploy and run. I've found through tria...

Link report files for Flex with multiple modules overwrite each other

I am using the link-report option in Flex Builder 3 to try to track down dependencies in my Flex application's modules. However a different report is generated for each module and they all use the same filename so they end up overwriting each other! Is there a way to generate separate files for each module - without having to create a ...

Flex Builder 3 executing old source codes

I'm facing this problem again and again, but can't find any solution (except mine, which is not as a good one I guess). Don't know why, sometimes Flex Builder executes old source codes after making changes. While debugging I see how it steps through a source (e.g. changing local variables) which does not exist (even if I delete all that...

Using Ant with FlexBuilder

Hey guys, I need to run some precompile steps before I build my project using FlexBuilder. I assume I will need to use ANT to do this. Any tutorials that anyone knows of that can help me along my path? I know next to nothing about ANT and Eclipse (FlexBuilder). Thanks! ...

Can I change the default layout ruler guides in FlexBuilder 3?

I'm using FlexBuilder 3. I love the way the layout guides tell you when a component you're placing on a canvas is so far from the next component (presumably 8 pixels). Is it possible to change the distance at which the ruler guide pops up? I'm putting a series of labels close together and would like to change this to, say, 4 pixels. ...

How is FlexBuilder compiling my app?

I'd like to see the command-line arguments that FlexBuilder is using to compile my application. This is so that I can build them into the ANT script I'm working on. Is there any way to view the command line compilation step? The reason I'm asking for this is that when I compile my app using Ant/Flex SDK vs. FlexBuilder my app behaves di...

Recommended project structure for Flex builds

I'm starting a new project using Flex3 for a reasonably intricate UI getting its data from a collection of RESTful web services. I wondering what experiences others have had in structuring a moderately complex Flex project. The issues I'm thinking about include: I want to use our FlexBuilder licenses for visual editing of layouts and d...

How to turn off the beep sound in Eclipse?

On Mac OS X, I am running Flex Builder (which is basically a customized Eclipse). When I do a Find it beeps if it cannot find the selected text and when it wraps the search to the top. Is it possible to turn off that beep? I've searched the internet and the preferences pane to no avail. ...

Provider com.bea.xml.stream.MXParserFactory not found

Anyone come across this error when trying to import a WSDL in Flex builder 3? Seems it only occurs when trying to import a WCF based service which has 'virtual' endpoints... Some digging around makes me think Flex has trouble parsing the wsdl (however standard web services work fine). A bug has been opened for months and still no repl...

How to resove this error "An unknown item is declared as the root of your MXML document. Switch to source mode to correct it." ?

I have only this in my mxml source code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:comp="components.*" width="770" height="330"> <mx:Label x="185.5" y="150" text="Placeholder for Future UI." fontSize="30" color="#93A8AD"/> </mx:Canvas> And when I try to use the ...

Show all compile errors in FlexBuilder?

Is it possible to make FlexBuilder show all compile errors in all files? FlexBuilder does not show errors in Action Script files, that are not referenced. Also very often I fix a problem just to see new problems pop up after compiling the whole project although these errors existed long before. IntelliJ is showing all compile errors it ...

Deploying Flex Projects Leveraging Imported Web Services

Hi there: I'm sure there's a simple explanation for this, but I haven't had much luck at finding the answer yet, so I figured I'd put the word out to my colleagues, as I'm sure some of you've run into this one before. In my (simple) dev environment, I'm working with a handful of WCF Web Services, imported into my FB3 project and target...

Who's Using Cairngorm 2.2 with Imported Web Services?

I'm very new to Cairngorm, so apologies for what's probably a simple question: I'm working with a number of WCF services imported into Flex Builder 3 (via Data > Manage Web Services), and I'm wondering how to expose those services to the ServiceLocator in Cairngorm. From what I've read so far, it looks like Cairngorm prefers the servic...

Where can I find the official description of Flex html-template and output folder structure?

I'm looking for an official Adobe page explaining the ins and outs of the various directories used in Flex Builder, namely html-template, bin-debug and bin-release. There's a lot happening in these folder: folders get created and deleted, files get copied around automatically, or not, as seems to be the case with AIR apps. I'm looking f...

flexunit with pure ActionScript project in Flex Builder 3

If you create a pure ActionScript project in Flex Builder 3 and want to do unit testing using flexunit, what is the best option? The built-in Flex builder will refuse to build the mxml file containing the TestRunnerBase component as it is a pure ActionScript project (no Flex allowed). It is impossible to add the mxml file to the "Action...
