Does anybody know why I keep getting a pop up window that is telling me it can't find a marker id at some location number? I am getting one of these messages about every other time I save and compile and it is getting RATHER ANNOYING!!! What does it mean and how do I eliminate it???

Thanks in advance for helping me lower my blood pressure!!! :)

    Can i just add a solution to the suggestions here? i was having this problem also, and though none of these suggestions were working for me, i found a suggestion at flexcoders that so far seems to work - credit to Laurent Fontvielle:

    I've got the same problem.
    It seems to be a bug with FlexBuilder when you change the "Flex
    applications" of your project properties.
    You have to edit the file ".actionScriptProperties" located in your
    project root folder.
    There is the following section:
    <applications>
    <application path="MyApplication.mxml"/>
    ...
    </applications>

    Maybe there is an entry <application path=...> corresponding to an old
    setting. Correct it. Then close project and re-open it.

    Laurent.

    None of these solutions are working for me. I'm in Flex 2.0.1 but it started after I installed FB 3.

    I fixed this by closing FB2, renaming the file C:\Documents and Settings\<My Username>\My Documents\Flex Builder 2\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects\<My Project>\.markes so it wouldn't find it and restarting FB2.

    It may also delete your bookmarks and breakpoints.

    I got mine to quit popping up that error by uninstalling Aptana and Subversion. I then reinstalled subversion without the popup coming back. Unfortunately, subversion keeps telling me that it's too old of a client to work with the repository and I'm running version 1.0.3!

    Yes, I am now getting the same error - but slightly different wording

    Removing compile problem markers (Time of error: blah blah blah...)

    The details section states:

    An internal error occurred during "Removing compiler problem markers".
    java.lang.NullPointerException

    I'm able to compile the same code with no problem from the command line on a Linux box. Running the clean comand doesn't fix this unfortunately.

    Some background info: I'm running a FDS project against a JBoss server on a windows XP machine.

    So, I deleted my project and shut down flex builder. Then removed the project files (.actionScriptProperties, .project, & .flexProperties) and removed the project folder from the flex.war folder in the jboss server. Restarted Flex Builder and created a new project the same way the project was built. And wa-la the problem is gone.

    So, something has gone bad with the project, but I am not sure what because a look a the previous project files and they all seem normal. I was having problems with the project trying to create the "Output Directory" early, but a rebuild of the project seemed to fix that too.

    hope this helps.

    Same problem here, very annoying. Everything has started when I've tried to rename some of my .mxml components, it seems that the problem is related to the projet itself, and not the eclipse workspace.
