Cannot Export to Flash

Still no luck. I tried the following:

1. Create C:\flex2\.
2. Copy the 32-bit jre folder to the flex2 directory.
3. Change the java.home parameter in the jvm.config to be C:/flex2/jre.
4. This gave me an error in MMF2 when building:
[INDENT]Error loading: C:/flex2/jre\bin\client\jvm.dll[/INDENT]
5. I changed the forward-slashes (/) in the java.home parameter to back-slashes (\).
6. I then got another error in MMF2 when building:[INDENT]Error: could not find a JVM.
[/INDENT]

The jvm.dll definitely exists in the correct folder. I've also tried using the 64-bit version of the jre with all of the above configurations.

Argh. I have found this page in the official Java site. It is in French, use google translate to make it English.
They are talking about this very problem.

What page is it? There was no link in your post.

Did they find a fix for it or anything?

P.S Happy birthday

Sorry for that. My brain is playing with me.

I am having a similar problem. My error message is "Error loading: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\client\jvm.dll". The file does exist there, I can run Java normally, and I have just uninstalled everything with "Java" in its name and reinstalled JDK 7 Update 5 32bit, restarting after every step. I'm using a Windows Vista 32bit machine.
In the past I have tried several fixes and none have worked. I was able to export to Flash at one point but I can't any longer. I have read the information in the links above and tried the offline installer and I don't believe this is a hardware problem.

Happened to me in the past, i used this link

did the suggestion and made a fresh install from an offline download and fixed

hope it help

Sadly it didn't help

Try add the JDK (or JRE) path at following section in Data\Runtime\Flash\Flex\bin\jvm.config

java.home=

Maybe you installed the Eclipse?

It is blank, I have tried setting it to several paths ([...]\Java\, [...]\Java\jre7\, [...]\Java\jre7\bin, [...]\Java\jre7\bin\client\[jvm.dll]) but it always says it is unable to find a JVM. When I leave it blank it uses the error above.

Interestingly, if I use forward slashes as in the documentation with the path "C:/Program Files/Java/jre7", it gives this error message:
Error loading: C:/Program Files/Java/jre7\bin\client\jvm.dll

However if I use backslashes:
Error: could not find a JVM.

So I am rather confused. In all cases where it finds a path the path is correct but it fails to load jvm.dll even though it is there and correct and works for other programs. :\

The "Error loading: C:/Program Files/Java/jre7\bin\client\jvm.dll" error occurs when the 32-bit version of the JRE is not installed on your machine. The SWF exporter doesn't work if only the 64-bit version is installed. The next update of MMF2 will display a message in this case. Install the 32-bit version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (or the JDK if you want as it contains the JRE, but the JDK is not required for the SWF exporter) and then retry. That should work.

I should have asked Yves to come on this thread sooner. Sorry for that.

Yves, I had uninstalled all versions of Java and I only instealled 32-bit JDK7 Update 5. I have no 64-bit installations of any software.

Try version 6. Version 7 sucks.

JDK7 installes for me (which is odd because it said it would uninstall Java 6) JRE6. And, as a programmer, Java 7 doesn't suck - it introduces some excellent new language features.

I tried paths with java 6 but the problems are the same.

ok

OK, I've tried what you said.

1. I've uninstalled all the versions of Java, installed 32-bit JDK7.
2. I've tried with the latest version of MMF2 (that you haven't yet unless you are an HTML5 beta tester) => worked fine.
3. I've installed the official build 255 => same error as you (weird, I thought I had tested this case...)
4. I've added a JAVA_HOME environment variable and set it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_05 => this solved the issue.

So try adding this variable or verify its value if it already exists.

I'll post a beta version of the next build asap in the SWF exporter owner lounge forum. This version allows you to select different versions of Java for each exporter (as JDK7 is not compatible with the Android exporter for example) and temporarily sets the JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables when you build an application.

I have created the JAVA_HOME environement variable with this value as it didn't exist:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05
I still get the error unfortunately:
Error loading: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
The path is correct and I can still run Java just fine, including from the command line as "java -help". I have MMF2 build 255 with the Flash exporter and that's it.

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05" is the path of the 64-bit version of the JDK, unless you use a 32-bit machine?

Yes I have a 32-bit Windows Vista machine.

Bumping this thread to see if anybody has made progress in this or if anyone has resolved it themselves
