RE: [flexcoders] How to recover from 'cleaning' project?
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?

Re: [flexcoders] How to recover from 'cleaning' project?
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 see. I took that dialog to mean similar to Visual

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
alwaysclick No, and check the problems :-)

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.

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 alwaysclick 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 emI/em initiated, but
fetching up some old stuff and why would I want that?!

working fine, but if you're hitting Run with build errors and it's

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!

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/

John,
I did the workaround with creating a new project and copying the files
What are you copying?
trust me I ramed my head against the screen may times with this and found a way to do it?

Re: [flexcoders] How to recover from 'cleaning' project?
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.

Re: [flexcoders] How to recover from 'cleaning' project?
Did you try project clean... to stop the caching problem? Most of the time this works really well. I know that's not a solution but it might prevent this in the future.Otherwise, what helps me most of the time is 'delete project' but not contents, then just start the project again. Then any caching is gone. When you already have made a mess of things (and who hasn't at times) Mikes solution should do it.Sonja2006/6/15, Michael Schmalle [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Oh yeah, You could also just copy in the swf's and html from another project rename them and recompile.

Re: [flexcoders] How to recover from 'cleaning' project?
After clean, performing a build should get .swfs back. Not if there is an error in your app. It's like the chicken and egg thing. I have run into that more than once. You have somme error, you think it's due to a caching problem, perform clean, swf's do not come back after trying to build it becasue it says, cannot find swf.

Re: [flexcoders] How to recover from 'cleaning' project?
Hi Mike, So are you saying if there's a scripting error in your code it'll stop the project builder doing updates to any of the scripts you have modified and when you then try to clean the project it doesn't clean it properly because of the original error and you and your project get dumped in the sh* by FlexBuilder!? If you are that sounds like a fair description of what's happen to me ... the moral of the story being fix your scripting error before you clean a project?! ho hum, Phil Michael Schmalle wrote: After clean, performing a build should get .swfs back.

Re: [flexcoders] How to recover from 'cleaning' project?
Phil, Exactly Yeah, what I have learned is be very careful and do go pushing buttons. Sounds like what my dad was trying to teach me, these days I am a little better about it :) Peace, MikeOn 6/15/06, Phil Marston [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Mike, So are you saying if there's a scripting error in your code it'll stop the project builder doing updates to any of the scripts you have modified and when you then try to clean the project it doesn't clean it properly because of the original error and you and your project get dumped in the sh* by FlexBuilder!?
