Same is a problem with OSX install of FB3.0194161

Removing the files association completely does fix the problem (which then uses the OS settings to open the fla when double-clicked).

I'm seeing this on OSX with Gumbo 200309.

Unable to open external editor null
(com.adobe.flexbuilder.ui.osx.FlashExternalEditor).

Reason:
Plug-in com.adobe.flexbuilder.ui was unable to load class com.adobe.flexbuilder.ui.osx.FlashExternalEditor

IRB: Mac, does this still happen in 3.x?

This occurs in Gumbo but not in 3.01. How do we handle this?

open to me for gumbo. probably a configuration problem related to refactoring the plugins.

actually, sending to IRB. recommend you split the bugs, one for 3.0.1 and one for gumbo. Send the latter to me.

Actually, in fixing the Win version of this bug, I came up with something that will work for Mac as well. So I am reopening to me so I can fix two with one.

Fixed in 3.x and 4.x. See ~~FB-5495~~ for changelists.

Re-opening to Eric for 3.x.

The only issue reported was that if Flash isn't installed, there is no error message. I don't believe that should or can easily be fixed... Sharon is going to install Flash and try that.

Verified fixed that when Flash CS3 is installed, there's no exception message in 3.0.1 build b200949 Plugin and Standalone on OSX and Gumbo build b201099 SA on OSX.

Mac also said it works for him now with Gumbo on OSX, closing.
