Simulate Download in Flash Builder - download

in Flash IDE we can compile our SWF and then click in View->Simulate Download but I can't see that option in Flash Builder, is not possible to simulate a download with Flash Builder?

I found a way from another user:
http://www.ultrashock.com/forum/viewthread/91428/
"I got the simulation I was looking for with a local web server and running Charles with bandwidth throttling…. But it would still be nice to get this result with Flex Builder"
But I was searching the way for simulating download from FB :(

Flash builder is not able to simulate download speeds. For that you will need a browser plugin..

I want to be an Appetize.io(or Browserstack) in China. Should I learn about open source projects or knowledge?

Appetize.io or Browserstack.com can't access it normally in China, so I want to implement a tool myself. Like Appetize (or Browserstack), I can use my different versions of mobile devices to debug my webpage online, but I don't know where to start. Thank you.
Look at the Network Activity tab of Chrome Dev Tools while you are on the demo page for Appetize.io. You will see a bunch of JPEG images being streamed to the browser as you interact with the device "screen" on the browser. Most likely an emulator/simulator is fired up in the backend and screenshots are taken at regular intervals and streamed to the browser.
That would be a good start. The next thing to look at would be how to capture input (typing and screen taps) on the browser and then "execute" those type/taps on the emulator in the backend.

Flash Builder cannot locate the required version of Adobe Flash Player

Im using flex 4
While running a application i got this error
Flash Builder cannot locate the required version of Adobe Flash
Player. You might need to install the Flash Player or reinstall Flash
Builder.
Which version flash player required for flex 4.0?
Problem solved...I have clicked Link 'flash player downloads' on the error message then downloaded and installed Flash Player 10.3
It works for me.
Have a look at this thread at Adobe Forums - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/606832
The above thread is about the exact error message.
In all there are following things suggested in the thread.
1.
Associate the Flash Debug player as the standalone player with SWF
files.
2.
To use HTML wrapper, just right click on your project and select
'properties'. Select 'Actionscript Compiler' on the left column, and
in the resulting properties pane on the right, check the option for
'Generate HTML Wrapper File'. That should force FB to launch the web
browser for debug. This will require the ActiveX or Mozilla flash
debug player, depending on which browser you're using for debugging.
3.
I did a search in the registry and found two instances where Flex was referrenced rather that Flash builder changing this to flash builder seemed to eliminate the problem.

Firefox toolbar development, possible to load toolbar into browser as I dev?

I notice for chrome I can load an extension I'm developing into it without packaging it or anything. I'm wondering is this possible to do on FireFox? If not, what's the least painful way to develop and test at the same time? I'm using linux.
Yes, I believe you can perform what is a called a "chrome reload".

Google chrome frame - how does it work?

I'm looking into chrome frame and I'm wondering how it works.... http://scriptsrc.net shows that it's a javascript that can be embedded on the page....
http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/ shows it as an install file... does the JS prompt for an installation or something?
Google chrome frame is a plugin (think Adobe Flash) for Internet Explorer, that replaces core modules of IE (unlike Flash), like layout/rendering and javascript. But the UI remains. Then there is some javascript that can detect if this is real IE or IE+Chrome, and also offer an install option to the user. Also there is a HTTP-header and a meta-tag that are required to switch IE to chrome mode, when available.
The JavaScript is to detect it and enable it if it's there. (scriptsrc is just giving you the link to the file, which is on the Google CDN.) The end user does have to do a one-time install of it, it's a plug-in (like Flash or Java). Quoting from this page in the Google documentation:
In Internet Explorer, check() determines if Chrome Frame is installed. If not, the user is prompted to install it.

Test Flash using Selenium RC

I'm using selenium rc and i need to test flash. I need to click Allow button on Flash player.
I just need some help getting started?
Generally you can not do flash testing using selenium until and unless Selenium flash API is integrated to flash file with the help of flash developer.
You may check out one ready made flash file with selenium flash API integrated in the link below.

Hope this may help.
Thank you,
