Welcome to Adobe® Flash® Builder™ 4.5. This document contains known issues and troubleshooting tips not covered in the Flash Builder documentation.
Please refer to http://www.adobe.com/go/flex45_sdk_releasenotes for Flex 4.5 SDK known issues
FB-FC workflow:
FBG-2462: FBFC Workflows initiated from FB should be blocked(and user warned) when FC has a workflow going on with other products (like Illustrator/Photoshop).
FBG-2623: Dialog Box in FC will remain open, even after the project closes and the focus comes back to FB after clicking "Resume"/"Cancel".
Installation and Launch:
FBG-1669: Flash Builder Installation fails on a folder with special characters
FB-25951: Install fails when installing to folder with double-byte / Hi-Ascii characters in path (Win, only)
FBG-1920 : On Mac machines, the plug-in utility may fail to launch. This usually happens after several repeated install / uninstalls cycles of Flash Builder. To resolve this do the following:
· Plug-in version only: delete the file /{user home}/Library/Preferences/ .com.zerog.registry.xml
· Plug-in version only: also delete this file if found - {root volume}/Library/Preferences /.com.zerog.registry.xml
Localization:
FB-30837 : Project with double-byte and high-ascii project names cannot be run
FBG-2817 : AS Mobile project can not run on device in RUS OS
FB-30840: FB cannot export release "Signed native installer" when FB was installed in a double-bytes folder or named with double-byte characters
Mobile: Run / Debug / Package
Before running or installing an application built with Flash Builder 4.5 on a device:
Uninstall any older prerelease version of the AIR runtime from the device.
Uninstall older versions of your application that were created with previous versions of Flash Builder "Burrito" from the device.
FB-30457 App terminates and/or hangs when debugged on Xoom/Honeycomb and Atrix
FBG-2817 Packaging does not work if the package or package path contains non-ASCII chars
Profiler:
FB-23384: Loitering Objects that contain entries for UI Components Show Zero Object References. In some cases, loitering objects display contains entries for UIComponent that when double clicked lists 0 paths. This would make it difficult to determine if profiler is not showing a path that might be a leak. Similar bugs FB-12804 and FB-12719.
FB-25184: Profiler does not show back references in AIR
FB-PHP:
If Flash Builder 4.5 (not PHP) is already installed on the machine, and the product (Flash Builder for PHP 4.5) is then installed in a different location, the user gets the "FB is installed" dialog. After clicking OK, the installation rolls back and removes both Flash Builder and Flash Builder for PHP
On Mac OSX, checking for updates fails. As a workaround start the product from a command line with following parameters: $ </path/to/app/file>/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Flash Builder 4.5" -configuration "/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.5/eclipse/configuration/" Where </path/to/app/file> is usually: "/Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.5/Adobe Flash Builder 4.5.app"
PHP Service classes can not be introspected if they are namespaced (with PHP 5.3 syntax). As a workaround use the regular class declaration to define your PHP Service.
CS5.5 users: If you are also already using Creative Suite 5.5, you will need to enter a special trial serial number to use Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP. Get your trial serial number here .

GB18030 support for Windows XP
In order to support the display of all characters of the Chinese standard GB18030 on Windows XP systems, Adobe recommends the installation of the Microsoft GB18030 Support Package. This support package will update an XP system with, among other things, fonts and input-method-editors (IMEs) to correctly support GB18030. The support package is available as a download from the Microsoft website.
