As explained the other day in this previous post, the new version version of Adobe Flash Catalyst Beta 2 doesn’t allow access anymore to it’s preferences so you cannot set it to refresh automatically. It’s kind of a pain when you use my synchronization tool, CatalystBuilderSync, as the synchronizations with Flash Builder do not reflect anymore in Catalyst.
So I’ve been digging a bit into Catalyst architecture and found an easy fix for that. You just need to edit the following file, depending on your platform (attention, .metadata is usually hidden by default):

  • On Mac:
    /Users/[your username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash Catalyst/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs
  • On Windows 7 (and probably on Vista but unverified):
    C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Flash Catalyst\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs
  • On Windows XP:
    C:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\Application Data\Adobe\Flash Catalyst\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs

Open one of those and add the following line:

refresh.enabled=true

Save, restart Catalyst and that would do the trick. I’ll simplify the whole process in CatalystBuilderSync next update, hopefully in a couple of days.
