Open declaration (F3, ctrl+click) jumps to wrong location in Flash
Builder
In Flash Builder, when I click-through to the framework source code, I
usually end up somewhere close to the symbol declaration but not precisely
on it (I usually end up a few lines away). Is this a Flash Builder bug and
therefore irrelevant for this list or does FB use, I don't know, some
generated symbol index that possibly Apache Flex has got wrong?
Thanks,
Borek

I also experience this issue. The distance fb takes me from the actual
declaration varies between classes, sometimes a few lines, other times way
off.
Not a big issue though as once im in the package 'ctrl + o' and searching
that way takes me to the correct line. More just curious if anyone might
know the cause?
Using fb 4.6 with flex 4.10
Thanks

I’d also give it a try using a clean workspace, FB may be caching SWC
information.

Out of curiosity, I tried IntelliJ IDEA (which I normally don't use for Flex
development) and all is OK there with SDK 4.11.0. So it's probably some
Flash Builder bug.

Clicking through to class member takes me to wrong positions also, so the
issue is not just with the classes themselves. Anyway, if the SDK itself
doesn't provide any hints to Flash Builder and it is completely up to the
tool to do the right job, I guess I'll have to live with it. It's not that
big of an issue, just a bit annoying when this happens many times every day.
Thanks guys.

However this only happens jumping to the class declaration itself.. jumping
to methods and member variables, the cursor goes to the correct position
using newest SDKs.
Also, tried to remove the asdocs from LayoutBase and repeating the
operation, and it tries to jump to the same line/col (finding some other
text). But the methods and variables jumps still works, finding the correct
position even on the modified file.
Thus Alex is right, the debug info in SWCs may be only used for debugging
sessions, and Flash Builder takes care of the code navigation. Just
something is strange when jumping to class definition (not a real issue in
my opinion).

I think that the sourceline references are baked in the SWC when they are
compiled with debug=true (see [1]).
BTW, noticed the same behavior on my environment with the 4.11 SDK - open
declaration for LayoutBase bring me to the class asdoc section (in my case,
it highlights the “ Flash 10” words).

I think it is up to Flash Builder to figure out where to put the cursor.

Did a test now. I was navigating to the LayoutBase class. In SDK 4.6, Flash
Builder correctly navigated to file LayoutBase.as with the text "LayoutBase"
selected and cursor blinking on line 78, col 24. When I did the same for SDK
4.11.0, the selection was somewhere inside the class ASDoc comments, so a
few lines above the correct position, specifically the cursor was blinking
at 82:28. So the location is different from 4.6 but still wrong.
I confirmed this misbehavior even in the clean workspace as suggested by
Cosma.
Are the symbol positions somehow baked into the SDK or is it up to the Flash
Builder to scan all sources and build the index itself?

If you create a 4.6 project, where does it put the cursor? I think FB may
have a database based on 4.6 and is using the same line numbers for 4.11.

The correct file is always opened, just at the wrong line / column number.
Yes, I have more projects open but they all work with the 4.11.0 SDK and
their source attachment path is correct.
Does anyone know how Flash Builder determines the symbol position inside the
framework source file? Is that some kind of information packaged somewhere
inside the SWC? BTW one strange thing I noticed is that when I take for
example /frameworks/libs/spark.swc and look at its catalog.xml, it says
<flex version="4.10.0" build="0" minimumSupportedVersion="4.0.0" />
Not sure if this is important for anything or not but the version string is
wrong (this file is from the 4.11.0 SDK).

Do you have other flex projects open, maybe using different versions of the
SDK? I noticed that, sometimes, Flash Builder open the source file from the
wrong SDK. If this is the case, you should also note that the path of the
source file opened is not from the correct SDK folder for the project.

FlashBuilder should be using the source attachment information in the SDK.
If you go to Project -> Properties -> Build Path and look at the Library
Paths, you can expand the SWCs and see where they think their source is
coming from. If you have a mismatch of SDK version to the source then it
can be off by several lines.
