It may be a little bit late for an answer, but you can try to do this:

Step 1:

  • Go to your User directory and navigate to your Flash Builder Files:

FOR WINDOWS:

C:\Users\[YOUR USER] \Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\

FOR OSX {FILES HIDDEN}:

[Flash Builder Workspace Directory]\.metadata\org.eclipse.core.resources\


Step 2:

  • If there is a ".snap" file, delete it and then start "FlashBuilderC.exe" in Admin-Mode
    FOR WINDOWS BY DEFAULT:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\


Step 3:

  • Close Flash Builder again and then open Flash Builder normally (should work again)

I hope this helps someone.
