I’m finding that the flex debugger fdb disconnects from the browser at random times (“player session terminated”). It doesn’t matter which browser I use in linux (FF, Opera, Epiphany, Chrome, etc). It also doesn’t matter if I use Adobe’s player debugger version 10 or version 9.

Anybody else have this problem? Any fixes?

Nice article ! I wish I had found this tutor earlier , it could have saved me some struggling days…

@mcris : To avoid the MXML editor bug, you may use an old Eclipse (3.3) or use the patch:

saymont: what exactly “FAILS”? I guess you mean the installation of Eclipse. How does it fail? Where does it say it’s 64 bit? What is your environment?

By: saymont

java version “1.6.0_18″
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_18-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode)

I have installed eclipse from your URL and the installations still FAIL. It say that eclipse is 64 bit, but is not.
Any comment about it ?

Thank you

juanan: sorry, I think I know what you mean now. The process to enter a valid license key in FB3 for Linux is somewhat cumbersome, and it’s not very well documented. I think I did it once, following some comments I found on the internet. Good luck!
Miguel Ángel: según lo que dices, puede estar fallando por varios motivos. ¿Puedes concretar más y describir exactamente la secuencia de acciones y los mensajes/reacciones que ves? Quizás así damos con la tecla.
mcris: FB3 for Linux does not have a “design view”: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/flexbuilder_linux/releasenotes.html#features I guess that’s what is bothering you?

A si tambien instale la version de Adobe Flex Builder Linux 3, ya se q adobe a decidido no desarrollar mas esta version para linux debido a, sugun ellos, el poco interes de los usuarios de software libre. Sera q necesito otra version de Adobe Flex ? O ay una solucion a mi problema ?

Q tal amigos saludos, mi duda es; por q no puedo visualizar en el firefox el resultado de mi programa, al compilarlo y/o ejecutarlo desde eclipse automaticamente se abre el navegador pero no muestra ningun resultado de la programacion. Estoy usando una distribucion Ubuntu 9.04 (32 bits), quisiera q despejaran mi duda no se si sera por la version de flash player q tengo instalada (ver 10).

No, despite the fact that I’m more than willing to pay for a working Linux version of Flexbuilder for Linux, Adobe doesn’t want my money, as strange as it may sound…Adobe has decided to cancel this product.

AFAIK, the Flex SDK (the command-line compiler, the packager, etc.) are open source; both free and gratis.
Flex Builder, on the other hand, is proprietary in both its incarnations and for all platforms. What you are using is a 60-day trial. Once it stops working you can buy a license, if you want.
Check out also special offers or programmes that Adobe has for students and the unemployed.

Great tutorial. Perhaps you could help me with a little problem and this configuration. I can see everyday the following message in my FB status bar: “Flex Builder Linux will expire in X days.” and X is aproaching quickly to 0. What I’m supossed to to when that sad event happens? Is it any way to avoid the expiration time? Will I have to reinstall everything? Thanks for your help :-)
