I tried to to use the Software Update to check for updates to Flash Builder 4.5, but i got an error message

"Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency"

Adobe Data Modelling Core Components

RDS Core and Database Components

I suspect these may be a result of installing ColdFusion Builder 2 within the same Eclipse install.

Either way, turns out others have had this exact same issue and the following Adobe forum post contains the answer

I couldn't successfully access a new FTP site setup under IIS on Windows Server 2008 R2 from other machines.  It turns out the the default FTP firewall rules don't actually work all that well, or at all.

Running the following from the command line added in a seemingly unnecessary rule

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="FTP-In (no SSL)" action=allow protocol=TCP dir=in localport=21

But after a reboot, remote access to the FTP server was fine.

As gleamed from the following forum post

So I was trying to push some files out from a hosted server today and while i could get files from the remote FTP site, i couldn't upload, create directories or delete anything on the remote server.

Once i realised that i had no problem doing that from my laptop, i realised the culprit was most likely the ISA 2006 server that was sitting in front of the hosted server.

After a little digging around i found that while the outbound FTP access rule was configured, ISA Server 2006 makes it Read Only by default.  Once you've setup the rule, make sure you right-click, Configure FTP and remove Read-Only to get full FTP access.

I was trying to get my iOS app to display with the status bar shown to allow the user to see their network coverage and network activity indicator. However when i set <fullscreen>false</fullscreen> in the AIR app.xml there was a screen-resize flicker when switching from the initial Default.png to my apps initial state - which was meant to match Default.png.

Adobe docs seems to be getting more and more obtuse, and after no luck googling i tried to figure it out myself.

So after much banging of head i found that my Default.png had to be 320x480 (iPhone 3GS here folks) while my app ran with a display of 320x460.  After this i was able to have my app's initial display perfect match the Default.png and then i proceeded to have a dissolve through to my first screen.

Swanky.
