Design mode locale problems with 4.5.1

[John_Hall]

I tried this in the Flex forum but no answers. I'll try here. I've been working on a project for a year that has worked fine. I upgraded to 4.5.1 and now can no longer edit several of my components that were localized.  I solely get a red X and a design error that says "Assets failed to compile.  Design Mode is unable to display the document styles, skins, and images because the following assets have failed to compile:Details :unable to open 'locale/en_US'(command line - Line:-1)"

I've a folder with locale/en_US and it actually localizes fine if I run the app, but I can not longer edit in design mode which, as you might guess, really puts a damper on moving objects by pixels.

Any suggestions?

Exactly the same problem here!

I finally got mine to work. It may be overkill as I don't really know which action solved it but between the two following, it solved the problem for me:

1. To the source path under the build path options I added the following folder:

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\sdks\4.5.1\frameworks\projects\spark\bundles\en_US

2. In the library path I added

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\sdks\4.5.1\frameworks\locale\en_US\spark_rb.swc

Of course, your folder structure may be different. Let us know so we can pinpoint eventually.

Well it worked for a couple weeks and now it's back. Anyone else had success solving this?

I don't have a solution, but i think i pinned the circumstance down to being generated when:

• You have a localised project
• You also embed a generic (non-localised) asset

In the case I used to file a bug report, including/removing an <s:Image> tag causes/removes the problem:

Note: In my builder I had an additional issue making it difficult to pin down - in that once the Design Mode Problem had been raised, even reverting the line of code that caused it didn't clear the problem report - took a couple of odd steps:
