I've just moved to a new computer and imported all of my Flash Builder projects. When I try to Export a Release Build I get the following error message:
Encountered errors or warnings while building project Test.mxml.
Linked resources are not supported by this application.
I get the same message for a new project as well as for an old project. Restarting FB makes no difference. Can anyone point me to a solution?
I doubt if you really need to reinstall the OS! You might have to restart Flash Builder.. and that should clear any issues associated with cached objects etc.
Check and see if there is really something wrong with your project.. if you don't seem to find anything, create a new project - just an empty one with a button on the canvas and then try exporting a release build.

I have downloaded the Xamarin.Forms solution from GitHub and I am trying to build the solution. Visual Studio does not build, generating more than 70 errors, as simple as the one below:
"The type or namespace name 'IOnClickListener' could not be found (are
you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?"in
Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android\AppCompat\ButtonRenderer.cs
When I investigate the code, I see that there is really no reference to Android.Views.View in the using statements, so it seems fair.
Am I making a mistake somewhere?
It's not easy to get to the answer without digging into the logs but here are some steps that have helped me in the past.
Android Specific Steps:
Check the logs for any problems that stand out, look at the top most error first and work your way down. Output window -> Show output from Xamarin Diagnostic
If you find unzipping problems you might have to visit the Xamarin folders to delete the zip causing problems and Xamarin will download a new one.
C:\Users{USER}\AppData\Local\Xamarin
If you get loads of Xaml and Resource errors you might have to delete the contents of the file.
Resources\Resource.Designer.cs
After deleting the content(not the file), clean the solution, rebuild the project.
If you still have problems try to either downgrade Xamarin.Forms or upgrade it.
Change Api level to a higher one on the project properties.
Hope one of these helps.
I need to store the release build of my Flash Builder (Flex) application in Subversion. When I try to add it to version control via Subclipse I get a warning telling me that I have asked to version control one or more resources that otherwise would have been ignored. Does anyone know why this is happening, and how I can get around it? I've gotten around this one time in the past by adding the build release's directory to the repository using another Subversion client, i.e. outside of Eclipse/Flash Builder, but when I rebuilt the release later I was unable to get Subclipse to see the changes between the base/head revisions and the new local versions of the build release files.
I realize that what I'm doing is non-standard and I suspect that there are default svn:ignore settings someplace which are causing this to happen, but I can't figure out where these are in order to modify/bypass them. Or maybe there's something else going on?
Thanks in advance for any insight and/or help with this issue.
This is an Eclipse-specific feature. Eclipse has a feature where files that are produced by compilers or generates inside Eclipse can be marked in Eclipse as "derived" resources. Eclipse team providers are supposed to ignore these files automatically. AFAIK, that is the only reason the feature exists.
So Subclipse still allows you to manually choose one of these files to version, but it warns you that you selected files that Eclipse said to ignore.
It is possible (but I have no idea) that Flex Builder has some setting to control whether or not it marks these files as derived.
When i change the code into my Flash Builder 4.5 project and hit run the output doesn't show the new result but the old one, only after a while the new result is showed on subsequent project runnings. Has anybody encounter this problem? Are there some hidden settings?
First make sure you have the project set to build automatically. ( Either that or that you have manually rebuilt the project after changing code).
Second, be sure to clear the relevant browser data as appropriate.
Third, In the earlier days of Flex, I found that if I re-compile code while there is an active debug session; it often doesn't refresh and would need a formal project "clean" after shutting down all my browsers, and restarting Flash Builder. So, that may also apply here.
Might be a spot old but if you are testing in a browser you might want to refresh or clear your cache so the browser has to get the new data and not just rely on what it had loaded before.
Using Flash builder 4 to build an AIR app.
I keep having my code changes not take effect when I launch the project with the debugger, probably happens about once an hour. So does anyone know how to have FlashBuilder clean the project automatically before each launch?
Thanks
I'm having a similar issue with a Flex application. If I make a change to an .as file the change is not taking effect. The component is being instantiated by a parent component in the application so the compiler should be catching any changes I made. In fact, I can put a syntax error in the file and it won't report a problem. I've uninstalled and reinstall Flash Builder 4. I have to do a clean every time. I tried the tip from rakslice's comment of compiling with mxmlc manually and it successfully compiled without any clues as to what the issue with incremental compiling in Flash Builder 4 is. I finally added "-incremental=false" to my project's additional compiler arguments. This takes longer to compile of course, but I find it easier than having to click Project --> Clean every time.
I find that as long as I don't change code and/or recompile while an active debug sessions is on-going; I have no issues with the application not picking up code changes between subsequent runs.
I'm finding that I have a very similar problem. Everytime I launch my Flex app in a browser I have to perform a Clean just to get it to run.
I have noticed that I get a JavaScript error saying 'swfobject' is undefined odd error to be getting.
Not sure if that helps?
I have imported an existing project into flex but any changes I make to the source are not being built and displayed when I test run the application. The original files which are in the bin-debug folder dont seem to be changing at all.
I have tried cleaning the project, deleting the bin-debug folder even reinstalling flex builder, but nothing has solved the problem.
I've read this post which was about the same problem but none of the advice helped.
Any advice would be appreciated.
When you imported the project did you do a default import (copies everything into your workspace) or an "Existing Projects into Workspace" import?
If you did the default (listed as "FlexBuilder/Flex Project" under the import source) then you might be changing the wrong code. If you're looking in the original project's location for the SWFs to run then you're in the wrong place, as the SWFs you build will be in the new location.
One quick way to test to see if your code is actually being compiled would be to intentionally put a compile error in there. If the compiler chokes on it then your code is being compiled.
There's another thing you can try. I just ran into a weird issue where FB was caching a compile error, and even after fixing the file it still showed the error. Even after doing a clean, restarting FB, etc.
I found a place where FB caches information for the project, and for some reason it wasn't clearing things it should. It's possible your project's cache got messed up and it's messing up the compile somehow. You can try deleting it (might need to delete and re-import your project though).
The cache is at:
workspace.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources.projects\
I just made a blog post about this, in case you'd find it useful.
