Chris,

Yes! the new user account did fix the issue, it compiles and runs air fine! My old account is the original administrator account which was the only user. The new account is also set as administrator.

No other tricks were  needed after this.

Do you think there is a user-related service or setting somewhere that can be toggled to get this working on the original account? Thanks for your help.

Did not help. Macromedia folder was autocreated upon adl launch.

Also, latest flash 11 plugin for IE9 crashes the browser.

Thanks For Helping Chris, I've managed to, unexpectedly, resolved the issue!

I had been switched back to sdk 4.5.1 for a few days, and during that time (yesterday, the 10th) i ran Help -> Software Updates...  and two updates were installed. I can't remember which updates they were, but i upgraded Flash Builder to 4.6 last week on the 4th, so any new updates available between that time and now are the ones, i guess.

I reloaded the 4.6 SDK on the project so that i could generate you a crash report. I had to update my *-app.xml to 3.1 as expected. But alas, when i tried to debug the project, it ran! I'm pretty sure the updates fixed the issue since i can't think of anything else that would've been significant.

Anyway, I hope that information helps.

I was getting the same problem with the runtime crashing on OSX.  After switching the System Pref -> Energy Saver -> Automatic graphics switching to OFF it'll work fine.

Any idea why that would be the case?

Unfortunately, my bad. Problem has returned. It is intermittent enough that the problem appeared to be corrected -- but was not. I am experiencing the issue on both my Macbook Pro and iMac. Uninstalling and reinstalling FB did not help. This problem is recent and is likely related to latest updates to FB or OSX. I've sent problem reports to Apple.

everytime i run a application,an error shows up saying "macromedia flash player 7.0 r14 has stopped working"*

Chris,

ADL crashes everytime a debug session is launched in Flash Builder 4.6.

Using Flex SDK 3.6 overlayed with AIR SDK 3.1 on MAC OS X 10.7.4

Disabling "Automatic Graphics Switching" does not resolve the problem.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks,

AR

Chris,

Sorry. This is happening on MAC (OS X 10.7.4), not Windows.

Thanks,

AR

I ran into this problem today, using Flash Builder 4.6 with the 3.6 SDK (AIR 1.5.x -- whatever ships w/the 3.6 SDK) on Mac OS 10.6.8.

The problem I ran into was that that ADL would hang when debugging my application. I narrowed it down to a call to PopupManager.addPopup(). If I merely ran the same app in Flash Builder (not debugging it) it did not crash. The problems started yesterday. Two related things changed in my enviornment: last week I let the Adobe Updater install an update to Flash Builder, and yesterday, I installed and ran another AIR app which prompted me to update the AIR runtime on my Mac.

Not sure what the cause was. However, after reading this thread, I located the CRLCache directory on Mac OS and renamed it. Problem solved (fingers crossed).  In case it helps another Mac user, the directory was located here:

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/CRLCache

EDIT: This actually only seems to have been a temporary fix, the problem has reappeared I double checked that CRLCache directory, it has not been recreated.
