I am having some trouble setting relative package source path in the ActionScript Settings Flash CS4.Below is the folder structure on my computer.[code]The only way it will work is with an absolute path like /Users/ jenrosamond/Desktop/Tri-Template/classes.This project is getting moved around to several different machines though, so that absolute path isn't going to work.
View 1 RepliesIt seems I have no trouble pointing an FLA's document class to my project's class package when the FLA is at the same root level as the package's top-level directory. However, if the FLA is nested in a sub-directory, then relative paths to a class nested in the package will not work.example package & class location : [url]....
Case1 :
Package location : MyProject
FLA location : MyProject[code]........
If someone can provide an explanation as to why nested FLAs can't point to custom packages in parent-level directories, OR demonstrate how this can be done,
I have an actionscript file,it has a package name,it locate C:demo directory,like follows:
package demo{
import flash.display.*;
public class ABC extends Sprite{[code]............
Then I compile above code like following command,but it raise following error:
C:>mxmlc demoABC.as
Loading configuration file C:sdkframeworksflex-config.xml
C:demoABC.as: Error: A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure '', as the definition's package, 'demo'.Where is wrong above command?
I am new to Flash and ActionScript 3.0 environment. I don't have any knowledge in depth with Flash and ActionScript 3.0. I am using the flash(.swf file) in my Java application.

I am trying to create a flash viewer, which will load various other flash movies. The viewer will be in the root directory, but the flash movies it will load are a few directories deep.
/flashViewer.swf
/myContent/someProgram/program.swf
/myContent/someProgram/audio/sound1.wav
It seems that when I load one of these movies into my viewer, the loaded movie is looking for the sounds in an audio folder in the root directory, and not relative to the swf I loaded. Is there a way to set this? I would rather not have to make the changes in each of my other movies to use the absolute path
Here's the issue: I have three files in the same package: com.foobar
The directory to these files is:
C:..mylibrarysrccomfoobar
then inside I have foo.as and bar.as
When I try to run mxmlc C:..mylibrarysrccomfoobarfoo.as I get the error:
A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure ' ', as the definition's package, 'com.foobar'.
To that I say: it does. The package is com.foobar. The structure goes ..[url]....I've found a few other forum posts on the web about this error, and it seemed like the user had to make the directory matching the package name, which I already have.
the same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.
Is it possible to publish to a relative path in the CS3 IDE? For example, I have my folders set up in the standard bin, src, lib configuration where the .fla is in the src folder and I want to publish to .swf to the bin folder. I've tried the obvious'.. /bin/ nsomeswf .swf' but this doesn't work.

So I just found out the hard way that the path that Flash uses to load external content is based on the HTML it is embedded in, not the SWF itself. This is a problem for me because I have the HTML generated from a PHP file that is in a folder below the SWF. The PHP has other dependencies that would break if I moved it into the same folder as the SWF.So basically now my dev testing and web versions are separated by a folder.Is there a way to change the relative path Flash uses? Or am I going to have to hack things up?
View 1 RepliesI am displaying some flash content on a fairly standard page. This works really well when the flash, xml file and html page are sitting together in the same directory.url...However, I want to display that same content in another page which is deeper inside the site but outside of the directory that houses the .swf and .xml files as well as the assets.[code]The js files are loading properly but the flash content is not, so I could use a little help getting that sorted out.

View 1 RepliesSo inside my src folder I have my app.mxml file. I have a source directory pointed to my actionscript library.It appears that Flex does not look inside that source directory including an .as file within the master mxml file.
Code:
<mx:Script source="com/domain/something/somethingelse/app.as"/>
I could just have the main app.as file inside the src folder along with my app.mxml file but it would be nice if it could live in the actionscript library.
How do you define a relative link to the source of a linked library in Flash Builder (4).
I have a swc folder defined for a project. I want to link one of the contained swcs to it's associated source. This works fine except that the path stored in the .actionScriptProperties file is absolute. Here you can see the linked lib:

I have to have relative paths to the sound file assets but for some reason when I change them they are all absolute. Even when the file is in the same directory as the .fla.How can I change the path to sounds in flash to relative?
View 1 RepliesI've downloaded the tweener.swc from their google project page I create my fla file put it in a folder and put in the same folder the tweener.swc file.
I go to ActionScript settings > Library path > hit the + button > I type the relative path which should be just tweener.swc or not sure but just a dot (.) or / to get all the classes and libraries from the same folder in which the fla is located.
But it says it can't load the swc or my imports don't find the classes.
P.S. With absolute path it works.
When I drag and drop images in flash library, the path is sometimes relative (./somefolder/someimage.png), and sometimes it is absolute (D:lahsomefoldersomeimage.png).
How can I use only relative paths in flash library in order to be able to update all images from any computer and/or from any folder ?

View 2 RepliesI have a website using asp.net mvc in which I need to embed a flash file in view. I am unable to set the relative path for the flash file. Given below is the code I am using:

I'm using Flash Builder 4.6 and in one of my ActionScript projects, I have a referenced .swc library file.The way I added it was Project > Properties > Flex Library Build Path > Library Path tab > Add SWC...Here a popup occurs and I must select a .swc file by browsing through my machine and selecting one. Once I do that, it'll display the added library like this:
somelibrary.swc - /Full/Path/to/the/swc/here/lib/somelibrary.swc
What I want to be able to do is use a relative path instead, like:
somelibrary.swc - ../../lib/somelibrary.swc
Does anyone know a way to do this or a workaround to be able to use relative paths for swc libraries in Flash Builder?
I asked Google. But there is no working answer for it. I checked "right click -> global setings" and found no proxy setting in [URL].. Can anyone know how to configure proxy settings for flash player?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to do some restructing of a flash codebase, and I was wondering if anyone could clarify something for me as I'm unsure whether what I'm trying to do goes against a fundamental priciple of flash development or I'm being confused by the Flash CS4 user interface(I've got a java development background, so some of the interaction between fla files and the like is somewhat difficult at times to get my head around). I've done several searches but can't seem to find any similar problems, apologies if any exist.
Basically, I want to restructure my codebase and move my fla files around by putting them at a different location in the directory structure.
Existing structure:
basecompany namecomponent name
where fla files are stored in base, and code is stored in company namecomponent name, and code in said location is in the company name.component name package.
What I want to do is move my fla files from base to component name for each individual project. The actual location of the code is unchanged, but the fla files no longer compile, giving me a 5001 error - package name does not reflect location. I'm assuming that this is because the relative location is different - as far as the fla file is concerned, the code it is referencing is located at component name, not company namecomponent name. Is it possible to make the CS4 publisher understand that the fla file is not at the root of the package structure, and if so how?
I am coming from flash to flashbuilder I have a directory, AS3_classes_dir, on my computer that stores all of my classes, including my greensock and papervision packages. In every flash app that I make I include that directory in the Source Path, so that I can import whatever I may need. Compiling in flash (using ctrl/enter) takes very little time; only the classes that are specifically imported are compiled.So today I did that in flashbuilder, included AS3_classes_dir via Flex Build Path/Source Path ... but now the compile time are a couple of minutes, even though I am not even importing ANY of the classes from within.

View 1 Repliescreate a flash viewer, which will load various other flash movies. The viewer will be in the root directory, but the flash movies it will load are a few directories deep. Those movies access various sound clips that are in an audio directory relative to each swf I want to load.

I have a flash movie (let's call it B.swf) that loads an XML file which is located in the same directory to provide some data. This flash movie works fine itself. Now, I've made another flash movie, a main movie (let's call it A.swf), which loads different SWF's in turn, including the aforementioned one B.swf (which now would be located along with the XML file in a subdirectory).
To my surprise, I've checked that now I get an error, as the path I specified for the XML file in B.swf is not valid anymore when B.swf is loaded from A.swf. The relative path from which it's searching for the file is the directory where A.swf is located, not the one where B.swf is located, as happened when this movie was executed standalone.
Is there any way to fix this so that I don't have to change the path I specified in the code and I can use B.swf either way externally loaded or standalone?
