I've got an old flex builder 3 project that I imported into Flash Builder 4, and I want this project to run its web applications in my web browser. However, the apps persistently run in the Flash Player instead. This is causing no end of problems because of the flash player bug documented at https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-209.
How can I make a project's apps run in the browser instead of the player?
This issue can be caused by HTML generation being disabled. In the project property panel:

In your debug configurations, make sure that the url or path to launch points to the html file that the swf is embeded in, not the swf itself. You can reach the debug configuration menu by clicking the little arrow next to the debug bug icon... (and probably some other way, but i always use that menu).

I'm using Visual Studio for Windows to test a Xamarin Forms app on Android. Now I want to test it on an iPhone as well, which is possible by connecting the iPhone to my Windows system and using Xamarin Hot Restart.
The app is deployed on the iPhone, but when I tap on the icon it starts for a brief moment and then it closes (like it crashes). Looking at the link sent here earlier, in the Limitations section, the cause of this issue might be described there:
"Storyboard and XIB files are not supported and the app may crash if it attempts to load these at runtime. Use the HOTRESTART preprocessor symbol to prevent this code from executing."
I do have a Storyboard and I think an XIB file, but I have no idea how to prevent it from loading. The storyboard is called in info.plist only and the XIB extension is called in the .storyboard file.
LaunchScreen.storyboard
Info.plist
The usage of the preprocessor symbol HOTRESTART is only for C# I believe. My question thus is: how can I use the processor symbol HOTRESTART to prevent the loading of storyboard and XIB files?
I AM Using Flex Builder 4 for flex Web application, In which I create one flex Web Application. Now i am trying to run my application on web browser at that time builder shows some error like (Cannot run program "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe": CreateProcess error=5, Access is denied).
This error shows me from last one day. So will anyone can give me answer that why i got such error. In preferences Default System Web browser is selected. which is Mozilla Firefox.
Thanks
Go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Web Browser. There you can see the available browsers listed and a radio button for selecting either the internal or external browser. Do check these settings and try to launch again. It may be that the path you have shown, where "firefox.exe" resides has not been updated within the Flash Builder.
Rigth click on the flashbuilder shortcut -> run as administrator
If you can't run as an admin, try checking on the security settings to ensure all users have full access to the Firefox directory & files. This almost has to be security related, unless Firefox is actually a location different from where it's looking.
I just clean and close flash builder project. And then close flash builder and restart my system and then relaunch flash builder then it will works now.
Thanks to all.
I've built a form in Flex.
When I run the flex project, I get a html file with some js, css and swf files (NOT A SINGLE FILE), swz files.
When I run the main swf file alone, many things are working perfectly except at places where it needs to send a HTTPService request.
When I use the html file, all works fine.
Now I want to do the following.
Import this form made in flex into a flash site (actionscript 3)
This form has various ViewStacks, where the user will be travelling through these. I want to reload the form back to its initial stage when the user wants to fill the fields again.
Can there be any request sent to the Flash Site from this FORM, regarding the form submission success ?
Can I compile the Flex Project to one single swf file, so that I can use this swf file without any Browser?
Can I convert the webpage application Flex Project to an Adobe AIR application ?
Details:
I used flash builder 4... and flex 3 coding as in
<mx:Application/>
mx namespace is "http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
and no "s", or "fx" namespaces defined.
I'm sorry I can't answer all your questions, but I can answer:
Import this form made in flex into a flash site (actionscript 3)
I don't see why not, although I never did that myself; typically it's the other way around as Flex swf are really more applications than regular flash swf typically are.
Can I compile the Flex Project to one single swf file, so that I can
use this swf file without any Browser?
Yes you can:
With Flash Builder, go to Project->Properties->Flex Build Path, and
change Framework Linkage to Merge Into Code
When invoking the mxmlc compiler directly, use the option -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true
Can I convert the webpage application Flex Project to an Adobe AIR
application ?
Yes you can by right-clicking your project in the Package Explorer window, and under Add/Change Project Type, you get make your project an Air application.
I have a Flex project and am using a trial version of Adobe Flex Builder 3 to build it.
I do the following:
1. Change an mxml file in the project (for simplicity, assume I changed the text in a label).
2. Right click on the project, Export, Release Build
3. Right click on the main mxml file, Run As -> Flex Application
A browser window opens, everything runs fine, but I cannot see the change I made in step 1.
I thought the browser (tried with IE, Chrome) might be caching stuff, so I tried after deleting all temporary internet files, but I see the same behavior.
Am I being dumb and missing something or is there something going on here?
Check the timestamp on your .swf in your release folder. You might be running from a different folder.
Check the URL of the flex app in your browser to see if its running the debug version or the release version.
file:///C:/ASWorkspace/FlexTest/bin-debug/FlexTest.html
When you run a flex app, flex builder normally runs the debug version. Exporting the release build is done when the project is completed - release build won't have any debug information in it and hence will be compact. If you have selected Build Automatically in the Project menu, the debug version will be recompiled automatically when you save a file. You can just hit F11 to run it.
Sometimes when I compile my flex app, I got this error
Unable to create source GeneratedAsset31_dataClass. WebCe line 25 1259045578886 1546
But after I cleaned the project, this error disappeared.
It's not a big problem but very annoying and I can not find any clue by search the internet.
Any suggestion?
Your compiled and "generated" .swf file may have been opened in another application while Flex Builder was trying to re-compile or inject code changes back into the .swf.
If that is the case, you can solve the problem and avoid the error by closing the applications that have opened the .swf file before you switch back to Flex Builder and start coding again.
Please note that if you are developing an AIR application you should close the AIR app, or if you are working on a web application close the stand alone flash player if you are testing your app that way.
Web browsers like Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari are an exception because they don't lock open files and Flex Builder is able to re-compile even though your application is running in the browser, of course you will need to hit refresh in your browser to see any further changes.
