Perhaps that's a difference between someone coming to Flex Builder 2
from a traditional app development background and someone coming from a
Flash app development background (i.e. using the Flash IDE) ;-)
I know now and perhaps the archive of this thread will serve to help
others like me.

I see. I took that dialog to
mean similar to Visual Studio's, which is basically "I failed to build
because your code is broken. Should I launch the last version?". I
guess it's so you can get into your app as it was last built if you
need to see something, but you've screwed the code up. It's not
building from old files, it's just launching the last build (since it
failed to overwrite the old one with the new one, because of the
errors).
If you see that error, you
should pretty much always click No, and check the problems :-)
Yeah it does halt . . . and a dialog pops up saying "Errors exist in
required project(s):projName. Continue launch? [Yes][No]" I didn't
take from that that it would build the project from old resources - to
me it's not continuing the launch <em>I</em> initiated, but
fetching up some old stuff and why would I want that?!
Boils down to semantics I guess . . . .

Sounds like the Clean stuff is
working fine, but if you're hitting Run with build errors and it's
opening up an old version and pretending everything is ok, I'd be a
little worried!
Every time I hit the Run button,
it compiles, and halts if there are errors. Do you not get the same?
Yeah the html-templates folder is untouched - what I'm beginning to
discover is that if there are any errors in your code when you clean,
then the project wont recompile - kind of obvious really! Trouble was
that I thought is was compiling despite there being errors prior to
cleaning - I'm now realising that it was compiling using a previous
version even if you make some alterations to your source file and save,
but still have errors - it's like it's got a cached version of your
last error free source file that it uses to compile from.
Maybe this is normal experience for developers using Flex, but it's not
totally obvious caught me out through the "cleaning" process! doh!

I'm sure that's the corect
behaviour. Mine also completely wipes the bin folder. The HTML files
get copied back from the html-template folder when I next build. If I
delete that folder, then I get compile errors and the rebuild option.
You shouldn't get compile errors with an empty bin folder, so sounds
like a problem with compiling, rather than the Clean option.
I'm guessing there are still
files in your html-templates folder?
Thanks Daniel,
but there must be a difference in behavior between your FlexBuilder and
mine because thats where the problem lays for me. When I selected
Project -> Clean... it cleared everything out of the project bin
including the html files the debug files and everything! The damn
thing wont recompile or rebuild - I get no "regenerate html" option and
there is no message in the Problems pane - it just bombs with a "Launch
Failed" modal dialog saying "File not found {the path to
/bin/project.html here}"
I've been trying to create a whole new project from scratch with
different name, but the whole IDE seems to've given up on running the
code for this project . . . . <curses-under-breath/>

I may not have understood
properly, but when I did a similar thing, it told me to right-click on
the message in the Problems pane, anc hoose the "regenerate html"
option!
Also, there's a Project ->
Clean option which clears out the compiled stuff without deleting the
html templates :-)
Oh yeah,
You could also just copy in the swf's and html from another project
rename them and recompile.
I have found this method is not so 'stable' but most of the time works.

Hi,
This is what I do,
Rename your project, oldProj or something.
Create a new project with the same name as your old one. If I were you
with this still in beta, rebuild your project if not to complicated. In
the new project, you then have new swf's and .html files.
You also could copy the files back into the old and rename it back.
But, when something like that happens to me, I am more than willing to
just start from scratch with a new project with the same name.
It only takes me about 1-2 minutes to rename, move and delete stuff and
it's back up and running.
If anybody knows a better way, I am all ears.
Peace, Mike

Hi all,
Making a mess here! For some reason Flex Builder didn't seem to be
incorporating changes I'd made to source files, so I figured there was
some sort of caching issue (I don't really know how Eclipse works) so I
figured if I clear out all the compiled stuff and get FB to build from
scratch that'd do it ... big mistake it's now refusing to build
apparently because the html file to display the swf in is missing - my
projects bin directory is empty!
What do I have to do?
:'(
