Flashbuilder 4.7 for Mac
I made the mistake of installing Catalina on my Mac which apparently doesn't
support Flashbuilder 4.7. So I'm in the process of downgrading to Mojave but
I can't find the installer anywhere. It used to be in my Creative Cloud but
it seems that Adobe has removed that and made AIR 32 the only SDK
downloadable. Does anyone know where I can download Flashbuild 4.7 for Mac?
Thanks

Well I fixed this by sticking with English. I hadn't localized much anyway
and since I'm slowly working toward a web version, simplify is my new motto.

I have things working in Intellj with the exception of the following error
when trying to package where I run into the following error.
Files
"/Users/johnhall/IdeaProjects/DiamondScheduler/src/l10n/locale/en_US/mx_rb.swc"
and
"/Users/johnhall/IdeaProjects/DiamondScheduler/src/l10n/locale/fr_FR/mx_rb.swc"
have conflicting package paths:
/Users/johnhall/IdeaProjects/DiamondScheduler/src/l10n/locale/fr_FR/mx_rb
Compiler options in FB are:
-source-path+=l10n/locale/{locale}
-locale=en_US,fr_FR,es_ES
And the app runs fine in the IDE. It only occurs when trying to package with
captive runtime.
Any suggestions?

I found VS Code quite easy to get up and running with that extension. It
recognized the project and imported great. And it runs/debugs fine. Now to
learn to save with captive runtime on Mac using VS. Getting there.

I THINK I have AIR 32 working now. Just had to figure out that I needed to
overlay the 32 SDK over the Flex framework. But thank you so much for the
offer. I appreciate this list.

I think I may have a copy of 4.6 on an old time machine I would need to have a look, you would need a key
I made the move to IJ like everyone else and after a few days I was fine

Thank you both for the encouragement. At least I don't have to downgrade my
OS to get things working again. I appreciate the input and slightly less
depressed about the road ahead.

I made the switch to VSCode using the very excellent actionscript & MXML extension by Josh Tynjala ... and haven’t looked back. I highly recommend it.

stepping into IntelliJ is a bit uncomfortable, but after 2-3 days its working like a charm. Ask Dr. Google or search on the website of Jetbrains. There you can find a lot of Tutorials.
When you are in trouble of finding any components of the Flex SDK, you should have a look in the settings for setting up the IDE, especially activating/installing the module for Actionscript. The next step should be telling your project where to find the SDK (similar to Flashbuilder). You can find it under „File => Project Structure“.
Kind regards

difficult to get it up and running since so many files (eg. adl) are missing

We've been using IntelliJ for a couple of years now for Flex/AIR Windows/Mac
app development in a very large project without any real issues. I did have
to up the heap because of the size of the project, but for rest runs fine.

Well, I'm sure the complexity of the project has a bearing on the outcome.

Hi,
Intellij IDEA works perfectly for us and is way more stable than Flash
Builder was (our applications contains thousands of mxlm views and .as
classes)

I only have about 60 views, and for more than 2 years had no issues with
intelliJ at all!
The ones I had before could be quickly solved by the (very reactive)
support team.
And more than 50% of the cases had been a problem/misunderstanding on my
side!
It's a very reliable, comprehensive IDE and a big help!
I'm still on Flex because I use it with AIR and AS3 as desktop APP for
Windows and macOS.
I considered moving to Visual Studio Code (making use of Josh Tynjal's
extension for ActionScript and Mxml). Also because of HTM and Royale in
mind.
But besides some tests I never did any serious work with other IDEs. I
did not see the need and eventually gave up that idea.
For HTML, after FLASH was killed, I'm using pure JS at the moment, and
play with Vue. But did not make any decision when to leave the Flex way.

I have a large system with 450 Flex screens (mostly re-written in HTML
now). Perhaps IntelliJ works in simple cases. It certainly doesn't in
more complex cases. I basically stopped developing in Flex over a year
ago. Although I don't remember the exact issues, I do have access to my
IntelliJ support log. Keep in mind that after they told me they don't
support Flex anymore, I stopped reporting problems - but there were many
more. I will post some of the problems when I have time.

I've been using it since it was suggested here and I'm very happy with it.
I've never had a problem and it allows for very streamline packaging of
captive runtime. Sorry you had a bad experience. It's definitely my go-to
program now.

Actually, I can not find anything which does *not *work in IntelliJ regarding
Flex development.
IntelliJ is far superior in every aspect and I somehow would assume that you
have configured/set something in an incorrect way. Please elaborate on what
errors you have experienced.

I'm surprised to hear so many people liking Flex under IntelliJ. I
switched from Flashbuilder to IntelliJ many years ago because of JetBrain's
advertised Flex support. It took a lot of work to switch only to find that
IntelliJ's support for Flex has many errors. Being a paying customer I
tried to get support. I was told they don't support that plugin. I stuck
with it because Flashbuilder no longer worked on modern machines. Their
support for Flex is very poor and full of errors. It helps 50% of the time
and is a meaningless annoyance the other 50%.
