Actionscript 3 :: Flash Builder 4 Not Finding Classes, Autocomplete Not Working?
Dec 7, 2010
For some reason Flash Builder 4 doesn't autocomplete any more for new projects I create (either pure Actionscript or Flash Pro projects). But for previous projects it still works fine.For instance when I go to create a new actionscript class, when I click browse next to Superclass there are only TWO classes that come up. EventDispatcher & Sprite. Where have the rest of the classes gone?
When I try to type inside the class.. ie var mc:MovieClip... as I'm typing MovieClip nothing comes up any more.. pushing ctrl+space doesn't bring up a list of classes either. Importing classes, no code hinting comes up at all.I haven't changed anything in Flash Builder between now and when my previous projects were created.
I keep getting this warning in css: Type 'AutoComplete' in CSS selector 'AutoComplete' must be qualified with a namespace. I can't seem to get it fixed.
I am being very hard headed and determined that I am going to give Textmate a solid try for my actionscript and flex projects. Work on the bundle has been a little lacking but what has been developed so far is pretty great. I have run into some slight issues but able to figure them out and get things set up pretty well and I have already dug in and started customizing the snippets to suit my needs.
One thing that I have not been able to fix, figure out or find a straight answer for is regarding working with MXML files. AutoComplete for Actionscript files seems to work great but I don't seem to get the same result when I am editing Actionscript inside the script block in a MXML file.
I'm working with a large modular app, and most of the swfs were made in Flash Professional. When I load the app in the Flash Builder Profiler, the memory usage appropriately goes up and down as I add and remove modules. When I flip between two modules many times, I end up with the current memory in the Profiler more or less where I started at around 2 megs. System.totalMemory, however, shows that the flash player has only been allocating memory and is currently using 106 megs. Is there a certain bug known to do this, or is there a better way to detect memory leaks? I'm using the latest flash player debug version.
Note: The SWF modules are all permitting debugging, and the Profiler picks up objects in them.
How do you find the project height/width as a integer to use in code. I've found stage.stageWidth but that doesnt display anything when i try and use it
I've been having this really annoying thing happen the past few days, that has happened before but not as frequently. I create a project in Flash Builder, import some classes, and then on occasion it keeps erasing those classes. So then I get errors in a lot of my datatypes, have to go back through my document and retype the datatype so that it reimports the class.
How can I set up a project in Flash Builder for creating a collection of classes that is not an application by itself? When creating an Actionscript project it forces having a main application file, as well as sets up the whole bin-debug folder and such.
For instance, if you wanted to start coding something like Tweener, Papervision, or some other set of classes that doesn't publish to an application, how would you set up the project in Flash Builder?
When building a Flex library project in Flash Builder 4, setting the Include all Classes flag in the library properties tells the compiler to include all compiled classes into the resulting SWC file. Sometimes this flag gets reset or ignored. The .flexLibProperties file looks like this:
I just installed the trial version of 4.5 of flash builder, migrating from 4.0 and I am encountering quite a frustrating problem. For some reason in which I can not peg, FB refuses to compile anything with an import from an external class, like greensock, bulk loader etc. I keep getting a 1172: Definition could not be found for any import from my external class AS3 folder on my harddrive.
Now I did edit my build path in the project and include the AS3 folder there as I usually do in past FB projects. Even code hinting works when typing in the import lines and even making new objects from those imports. But every time I save or try to compile, such errors appear on each one consistently. This is coming from a fresh install of 4.5 btw on any Flash Professional project and I would like to use it but I can't seem to get around such a fundamental problem.
I started to use Flash Builder with Adobe Flash CS5. Everything seems to ork great, but auto code completion if FB works only for FlexSDK classes. For example, if I'll write "import fl." list with "events;ik;lang; ..." appears, but when I write "import flash." i have ".text" suggestion only. I would be very glad if someone could tell me how to fix this. I couldn't find anything in google (code completion in Flash Pro works great, only in Flash Builder not).
why the getDefinitionByName function works with "com.foo.Bar" and gives error with "com.foo.Rab"?My only clue is that the class com.foo.Bar was created before importing the project to Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP (4.5.1 namely).
My question is very specific, in fact you could try for yourself if you had FB4.5.1, a prior version of the same program, and a lot of time. Obviously I'm hoping to find someone who have experienced this particular issue or any related issue with similar functions.
I'm building a video player using Flash CS4 (hereby referred to as "Flash") to create the graphic symbols and compiling and debugging with Flash Builder 4 ("FB4"). Here are the steps I take in my current workflow: --Create the graphic symbols in Flash. I've created a few different symbols for the player, but I'll focus on just the play/pause button ("ppbutton") here. --In the Library panel, I go to the ppbutton symbol's Linkage properties and link to a class named assets.PlayPauseButtonAsset that extends MovieClip. I do not actually have an assets package nor do I have a class file for PlayPauseButtonAsset as Flash will create them for me when I publish.
--In Flash's Publish settings, I set the project to export a SWC that will be used in FB4, called VideoPlayerAssets.swc. --After the SWC is created, I create my FB4 project called "VideoPlayer" and add the SWC to my path. FB4 creates the class VideoPlayer in the default package automatically. --In VideoPlayer.as, I import assets.*, which imports all of the symbol classes I created in Flash and are available via VideoPlayerAssets.swc. I can now instantiate the ppbutton and add to the stage, like this:
I am having a really strange issue where I can't get any hand cursors to come up in Flash Builder. Anybody else have this problem. I ran into a situation where I've had to convert a ton of Flash Builder projects just to get the hand cursors to come up. Weird this is if I open the swf's in Flash the hand cursors will show up. Once they get on the web though, though don't work. It's almost as if the buttonMode property will not work in swf's compiled in Flash Builder. I've tried with Flash Builder 4 and 4.5 and no luck. I told a friend, and he didn't believe me. So I asked him to just do a simple test in Flash Builder to create a Sprite and add it to the stage, add a click listener, and set it's buttonMode to true. He has the same problem, no hand cursor. I've even tried to set useHandCursor true with buttonMode, etc.
I am trying to achieve a continuous mouseDown event when I press a button, I have set the autoRepeat attribute of the button to true, and I have created both mouseUp and mouseDown event handlers, but when I press and hold in the button, it doesn't continue firing, it just fires once, I am new to Flash Builder, so I am not sure if I am missing anything, here is my code,
I'm using jQuery Autocomplete just as in this example: [URL] The problem is, the area where you see the Result box in that example - that's where my flash object is. So, when the autocomplete dropdown appears, most of the text is concealed by the flash object (which I can't move). How can I make the autocomplete text appear over the flash object (concealing its view rather than vice versa)?
I've just installed Flash builder on my machine, which went ahead and installed the debug version of Flash on my machine as well. It appears now that this has broken Flash in my browsers or at least the browsers have no idea where flash is located on my machine. When I open a browser and navigate to a Flash page I get the message,
"Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash "
This is from Google chrome but FF is also effected.
Im using camera class in my mobile application and I used Camera.names to fill my list and i tried to pass the selected value to getcamera() method but its not working.Here s my code
i get this error when i retrieve an XML that only has 1 node (no repeating nodes) and i try to store in an ArrayCollection. -When I have MORE than 1 "name" nodes...i do NOT get an error. My test show that XMLListCollection does NOT work either.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "XXXXXX" to mx.collections.ArrayCollection.
this error occurs as the line of code:
myList= e.result.list.name;
Why can't ArrayCollection work with a single node? I'm using this ArrayCollection as a dataprovider for a Component -is there an alternative I can use that will take BOTH single and repeating nodes as well as work as a dataprovider?
code:
[Bindable] private var myList:ArrayCollection= new ArrayCollection(); private function getList(e:Event):void{ var getStudyLoungesService:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
I used to use Mochi Leaderbords before starting coding Adobe Air games for iPhone and Android. As the Mochi API doesn't have mobile support I had to find something else and found Playtomic. Playtomic is great and easy to use, BUT it's constantly down My players are complaing on how often the highscore server is down. For me it's like 6/10 times I try to view scores that it doesn't show.alternative free highscore system that works with Adobe Air for mobile?
From a video on AdobeTV, I tried to play with example empWeb (LiveCycle Data Services).In Flex Builder 3 (FB3) everything works fine. When I tried this on Flash Builder 4.0 Beta (FB4) it doesn't work. When I replaced original xmlns declarations (2009, spark, halo)with declarations from FB3 (2006) it works. Could you explain why?I'm using the default SDKs (Flex 3.2 for FB3 and Flex 4.0 for FB4). I investigated this (please see 3 source code examples). Source #1 works OK in FB3 and FB4, Source #2 gives a FB4 compilation error message: [code]
I am working on a project for college and was wondering does anyone know how to get the autocomplete working in AS3.From what I have read I can only see how to do it wth AS2!I need the autocomplete to pull in suggestions from an XML file!
I am using the AutoComplete component in my Flex website. Everything is fine, but there is one issue. If I type something in the text area, and the items that are searched are alot, i want to increase the height of the dropdown box.
Below is the code to my autocomplete <auto:AutoComplete borderStyle="none" id="txt_global_search" textAlign="left" prompt="Search Content" dataProvider="{global_search_list}" allowEditingNewValues="true" allowMultipleSelection="true" allowNewValues="true" backspaceAction="remove" [Code] .....
Does anyone know if there is a way to make the new Package Explorer window in Flash Builder emulate Flex Builders 'Flex navigator' window?
Bottom line is I don't always need to peer into SWC's, and I don't like having a 'default package' automatically created for me. Not sure why the interface wasn't made simpler, allowing access to more power and complexity only if necessary. I want to focus on the code, not on how to navigate and use the bells and whistles in the coding environment.
When i try to open my mxml script in design mode i'm always getting following message "This Component is base on VBox, which is not a visual component. Switch to source mode to edit it"
I have a components and classes project library. Within the library, flex builder only seems to display content/code assist options for top level classes (e.g. arguments, Array) but not other classes such as VBox. Also, within the non top level classes, class properties are not provided by content assist.
I seem to have is that the Autocomplete component that seems to be part of flex extras is not displaying the list of items in the dropdown list. Basically, I get a list of blank items. I know they are there and they are the right items because as soon as I click on one, I get the right text in the combobox.
Again, when I type "T" in the text box I see a dropdown list with 3 empty items. Clicking on the third item puts "Test3" in the textbox. But the items themselves are not visible.
It almost as if its a font/foreground color thing, but I've played around with some of those settings too with no success.
I have an AIR project that I was working on Flash Builder 4.5 which now I'm trying to import to my updated Flash Builder 4.5.1 and it is prompting me to fix some paths before the import is completed. I'm kinda clueless what I should put in those fields.
[URL]
The project access a web server to retrieve data using JSON.
I'm working in this website so to avoid getting an error for adding event listeners to the buttons when they are not on stage i dispatch and event in the last frame of the animation, event that is going to be listened by the document class. Until there everything works great but when I try to dispatch an event from the document class to the sound class, it doesn't work.
I want to create a class named Principal which will be imported to the stage. This class Principal imports another class named Menu. And the application should do the same for any other 'division' of the website (content, footer etc).If i use the addChild in the Principal class, it works well. If i do the same in Menu, doesnt work. I cant 'return the box' to the Principal class and append the child there, but this will crack all the stuff.Now, the code:
