After my install of FlexBuilder3 (after my install of CS3) I was having a problem connecting to my local RDS server. What made this particular problem really odd is that I was not having this problem in FlexBuilder2. (With FB2 I could connect to my RDS server just fine) The other thing that made this odd, was that I knew for a fact that I was able to use FB3 to connect to my local RDS server.
The only difference in configuration between FB2 and FB3 that I could remember making was that in FB3 I used the “”Software Updates”" feature when I was at work so I had to enable the HTTP proxy connection for Install/Updates. I tried to disable this feature (Preferences – Install/Update – Proxy Settings) but still no luck. … after messing around with it for a little longer I figured out that this was the correct solution but FlexBuilder needed to be restarted. Apparently the RDS Configuration in FlexBuilder uses the same proxy settings as the Install/Updates HOWEVER in order for that change to take effect, you have to close and reopen FlexBuilder.
