Tip: Flex Builder 3 windows' content displayed incorrectly

If some sections of Flex Builder 3 seem to be empty or without some important content there you are probably an owner of Logitech hardware (mouse or keyboard) and have SetPoint software installed on your PC.

Fix: Close Flex Builder, turn off your SetPoint drivers, run Flex again. All content in Flex windows should be displayed correctly.

Note: You don't have to uninstall SetPoint, just exit it when you need to change something in Flex options.

Tip: Flex Builder 3 and Flash Player not found

When compiling new/imported Flex project you get the message that Flash Player is missing go to Project | Properties | Flex Compiler and deselect option Generate HTML. Click Apply and OK. Clean your project afterwards and build it again, go back to the same option and select it this time. Click Apply and OK for the last time.

If Flex Compiler options window is empty for you (no checkboxes, just a frame) please have a look at next post.

Tip: MouseEvents

If some functions get randomly invoked (or not) when rolling over or out some objects with listeners attached to them chances are you used:

MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER
MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT

instead of:

MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER
MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT
