Flash Builder 4 Content-Assist / Code-Hint Bug

Working with a Beta anything can be frustrating at times ( read: a LOT of times). The Swiz Framework and Flash Builder 4 Beta have been no exception.

The latest issue I’ve stumbled upon was so frustrating I had to blog about it: the content assist (or code-hinting) in Flash Builder just seems to not work for some packages – most notably, the Flash packages.

After trying many different things, I finally discovered a message in the Adobe forums:

The latest builds of SDK 4.0 have been updated in preparation for including playerglobal.swc for Flash Player 10.1. Flash Builder Beta 2 can not find playerglobal.swc due to the addition of the {targetPlayerMinorVersion} variable found in the flex-config.xml file.

When using recent nightly SDKs with Flash Builder Beta 2, please modify them as follows:

1) Rename the folder <nightly sdk location>/frameworks/libs/player/10.0 to “10″
2) Edit the file <nightly sdk location>/frameworks/flex-config.xml and remove “.{targetPlayerMinorVersion}” and save

When you restart Flash Builder, we will now find a correct location for playerglobal.swc, allowing for code hints and many other features to work properly.

There are a couple of instances of {targetPlayerMinorVersion} in the flex-config so remember to remove both.

My flash packages now show up again in the content-assist context menu and all is right with the world ;)

    This design is incredible! You definitely know how to keep a reader entertained.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own
    blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Great job. I really loved what you had to say, and
    more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

    She freely roams the countryside on her trusted steed, Angus with the wind at her back practicing her archery skills.
    Of all its games, 56 percent are available online and 44 percent are available as
    social mobile games for the i – Phone, i – Pad and
    Android. Starting out in the multiplayer I had little recourse
    but to die and die and die until I not only got the hang of things but also till I got some better weapons.

    Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and
    tested to see if it can survive a forty foot
    drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has
    83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had
    to share it with someone!

    really get helpful information regarding my study and knowledge.

    Hi there! This blog post could not be written any better!
    Reading through this post reminds me of my previous roommate!
    He continually kept preaching about this. I will send this article to him.
    Pretty sure he’ll have a good read. I appreciate you for sharing!

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be
    actually something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking
    forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

    As you build an army in Shogun 2 you’ll find that there
    is a wide array of unit types to choose from. If you pay more than the average you unlock additional content and better yet, it’s all in the name
    of charity. Once the player completes the introductory quests with his trusty or rusty Velator,the player will be escorted to Gallente controlled space.
