I’ve just discovered a problem with my new installation of FlexBuilder 3 standalone. Simply switching to design view is enough to make my installation crash, with the following message:

It’s a known issue (for the beta versions at least), but so far I’ve only encountered one other person having issues with the release version, and it seems like Adobe are having a hard time finding a solution because they can’t replicate the problem.

I’m on Windows running XP Pro (sp2) and FlexBuilder3 (3.0.194161). I did not have the problem with FlexBuilder2 (which I still have installed on my machine) – I also have FB2 running as a plugin for Eclipse.
I have now downloaded Eclipse 3.3.2 with Flexbuilder 3 plugin (3.0.194161) and I’m not experiencing the problem with the setup so far (it’s only been up and running for 30 mins). It’s what I eventually intended to do anyway, but it would be nice to have the choice ;)

Has anyone else experienced the same problem? Is anyone having this issue with the plugin version??

Last week I installed the release version of FB3 both at home and at work. My home installation was fine, but I started getting this message on my work machine every time I looked at any page in the docs via an F1 keypress:

Line 108 Error: ‘parent.titlebar.document’ is null or not an object

I soon found a solution in the comments here, thanks to Matthias Wille, and what is strange is that, just like him Firefox is my default browser, not IE:

“Only one workaround worked for me: tick-marking the advanced internet options (IE) ‘Disable script debugging (IE)’ and ‘Disable script debugging (Other)’. Interestingly enough I do not use IE, my default browser is Firefox. So I wonder what the Flex / IE link is about!? “
