I had already done what user334304 has suggested, but every time I deleted a file Flash Pro would open and alongside problems with FB4 using the non-debug Flash Player projector, this bugged the hell out of me until at 5am!
To simply stop Flash Pro opening every time a file is saved or deleted etc. you can disable the 'Build Automatically' option from the main 'Project' menu.
Otherwise, to stop Flash Pro opening completely you can:
- Right-click on your project
- Select 'Properties'
- Select sub-category 'Builders'
- Uncheck 'Flash Professional'
That should do the trick [note that you will need some other way to compile the fla/xfl file].
If anyone is interested (slightly off topic), to make FB4 open the correct Flash Player projector (debug player) it is best to:
Uninstall Flash Player with Adobe's util:
fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_osx.dmg [Mac]
fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe [Win]
Download the latest Flash Player Content Debuggers (plugin and projector) for your platform/browser from here (you can get the release version also)
- Remove the Flash Players from Flash CS4, CS5 and FB4...
CS4/CS5: delete all content from
[install directory]/Players/
FB4: delete all content from
[install directory]/player/
Now unzip the downloaded Debugger, copy it into those directories and rename it to 'Flash Player.app' on Mac or 'Flash Player.exe' on Win.
And finally, from within the default OS environment change the default application that is used to launch .swf files to one of the debuggers that you just copied, ensuring that it is always used.
Restart Flash Builder and you should be good to go. No more time wasted when we'd rather be coding... thanks Adobe!
