Adobe Flex Builder 3 short dump [JVM terminated. Exit code=1...]
|
I was using Adobe Flex Builder 3 [AF3] for a few weeks now. I like what has been done with the application, the new functionality is very useful and there is a ton of new options that can be configured while designing your applications. Unforchunately similarly to it’s predecessor there are major bugs in AF3. A week ago for no apparent reason the application stopped working. Every time ran the application it threw a short dump before initializing the EDI. |

I’ve tried reinstalling the application and even removed the old versions of JRE references. Nothing helped and just as before I had to rely to googling and looking at configuration files.
The problem lied in the small FlexBuilder.ini file located in the root installation directory. The contents of the file included the following settings:
-vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:PermSize=64m -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
I’ve modified the contents to exclude the last lines and vuala, the application went back to it’s usual state [sure I lost all my projects but its nice to have a working EDI once again].

Workaround for: “Click to activate and use this control” IE problem.
Those of you who have been found of putting up interesting controls on your web pages might have come across the ‘Click to activate and use this control’ bug that occurs in Internet explorer. If you do some searching you will find a lot of posts that require upgrade and an installation of a patch. Having explored the problem my self I offer you an alternative solution:
- Create a javascript function that is initiated when the page is loaded ‘onload’ event.
- Create a tag with a particular id somewhere on your page [lets say "fuzzy_object" for a sake of an argument].
- In your javascript function create a single string containing the specifications of your object [in my case it was an swf file].
- Perform the following: document.getElementById(‘fuzzy_object’).innerHTML = concatinated_string.
This is a tad generic but it should work. If not just let me know and I’ll post a more detailed solution.
