Design view doesn't work after you add an SWC compiled with Flash to the library build
After you add an SWC compiled with Flash CS3 Professional to the Flex Builder library build path of the project, design view no longer works.
The Flex debugger does not work with Adobe Flash Player 9 (9.0.45.0) in the Mozilla browser.
Solution
Install the patch that allows the Flex SDK and Flex Builder to use SWF files and SWCs created by Flash CS3 Professional. After you apply the patch, you can take classes and symbols compiled with Flash CS3 Professional and compile them into an application built with flex. You can also take classes and libraries compiled with Flex and use them in a Flash CS3 Professional project.
In addition, this patch allows Flex Builder and the Flex debugger (fdb) to function correctly when running or debugging with Flash Player 9 (9.0.45.0) in the Mozilla browser.
