SUBJ: creating a window-based mxml component, but in design mode all components that I'm adding are not movable, why? If I create component based on group f.e., it's ok, but based on window - they are frozen. Using Flash Builder 4.6
I guess it's a bug that Adobe needs to look into.
But in the meantime, you can use <mx:Window> and change them all to <s:Window> before you will finally build the release version of the project.
I am facing the same problem and it's very frustrating.
I don't know whether it's a bug or not, but it happens in Flash builder 4.5 too.
What I figured out so far is that instead of using a <s:Window> you can actually use a <mx:Window>and then it will work as expected.
In the other hand I would like to be able to use the spark window instead. It's a very annoying tiny problem!

I don't know if the correct term is intellisense, I'm talking about the helpers you see when you place the mouse over something. (The /** * */ helpers)
For some particular (business) reasons I need to use Flash Builder 4.0, the problem is, all kin of intellisense is gone, I put my mouse over anything, and no intellisense appears, nor in basic AS3 methods (Math.function) nor in Flex ones.
Any ideas?, I've been using FB 4.6 for a long time, and I never had this problem before.
Thanks!.
it worked in FB4.0 as well, so either it can be an installation problem, or the SDK the project points to doesn't contain the documentation. Try a new project, see if there works. If not, try reinstalling it with default settings, and see if it works.
Air 3 for mobile introduces a nice feature - StageText. I have seen a few videos showing what the end result looks like, but I cannot find how to actually implement it in code.
There is this page here, however, when trying to add the extra properties to the s:TextInput elements, I only get errors. Obviously, something is missing.
Anyone out there have any hints or working examples?
Thanks!
The new TextInput enhancements are part of the Flex 4.6 SDK which has not been released yet (as of 11/3/2011). If you want access to it right now, you need to sign up for the pre-release program.
I needed to make some changes to an air application that I made 2 years ago. The thing is: it is still written in flex3 and compiled to AIR 1.5. I didn't have the original project in flashbuilder, so I imported the source code in a new project.
I have tried to compile with flex 4 with backward compatibility, but that didn't work for me. So i deceided to compile with flex 3.5. Everything seems to work, except for the comboboxes.
When I click on a combobox, the dropdown opens but closes immediately. I have searched on this problem, but I cannot find a solution. It is just a standard combobox with 1 dataprovider. So no data is changed.
Does anyone know about this bug? How can I find out the compiler settings from an old AIR file. Maybe I can try to compile with the original SDK.
Thanks in advance!
it is because you must have put editable="true". I had the same issue and solved 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.
In my other flex projects in the workspace, content assist works fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Flex / Flash Builder is often inconsistent in stuff like this; but I have never seen the exact situation you describe.
Have you tried closing down and relaunching Flex Builder?
Have you tried launching Flex Builder with the '-clean' attribute?
Have you tried cleaning your workspace?
Are you sure you do not have a syntax error somewhere causing issues? Are all the classes in the library included in your library class? Sometimes error don't show up if the class is not used, and therefore not compiled into the file SWC.
Did you save your source files? I don't think Eclipse updates its index until you save - so, if you just wrote class X with function Y, but didn't save X.as, then Eclipse won't know what to do with X.Y(...
Sometimes when I've run into the problem you're describing, it's been because FB wasn't able to determine what type of object I was using (for example, obj["toto"] = ?).
Another idea may be to update your version of eclipse ("Software Updates" or something like that under the Help menu).
Finally, there's an annoying issue that happens to me sometimes where the content assist will appear for about half a second, then disappear like the window tried to scroll and lost the pop-up. Do you get anything when you press Ctrl-Space?
I'm new to Flex and i want to bind STRG+I to trigger a function.
How do i do that ?
Well, there's different things. I haven't personally done it yet, so after checking some Adobe documentation here what I found.
One can use flash.ui.Keyboard class in order to have a full keyboard control for your application. That would mostly require AIR tho, since the hotkeys are quite limited inside a browser.
In the case you're not in AIR, but in the flash player sitting in the browser, you can do it using simple event handling. Here's some nice tutorial how to do it:

Hope it helps!
