I would like to know how can I install a library packages to a Flash project. I am using Adobe Flash CS4 and the library I'm trying to include is in AS3. The library can be found on [URL].
I am creating a library in AS3. Inside the library I make use of a bunch of classes/packages that need not be exposed to the end user of my lib. I want to only expose one of these classes.
I guess my questions are:
1) How are libraries commonly distributed in AS3?
2) Is there a .jar equivalent in AS3 that developers can include, but will only have access/knowledge of the classes I've declared as public?
I've googled a lot trying to find how to properly import and use .swc files in Flash CS 4, tried lots of different methods but none seem to work.
What I've done is: 1. Placed it in my "D:Program Files (x86)AdobeAdobe Flash CS4enConfigurationComponents" folder. It does however not show up in the component inspector. 2. Added it in Publishing Settings as a Library and External Library, still can't seem to use it.
I've also tried adding "import org.osflash.signals;" After each method but I receive the error "1172: Definition org.osflash:signals could not be found."
So what I'm asking for is an easy way to get the .swc package working code-wise with all classes imported etc. The .swc file is as you may have guessed as3signals.
I'm teaching myself actionScript 3.I'm having some difficulty knowing which packages / classes to import from the flash core.I'm still a little shaky on the terminology but I mean these statements at the start of the main AS file.
import flash.display.Sprite;
Are there any good references / cheatsheets that describe what each flash.example.example provides? At least for commonly used packages.
this is the URL of the language reference website I have been using for Flash/AIR: [URL]Is this URL the correct one I should be using when I need to look up a class or method or property or something like that? Because it does not match up with what actually shows up in the Flash IDE when I type an import statement. Most of the packages match up but not all.
For instance, the reference URL has a fl.events package, and so do I locally, but my package seems to be missing lots of classes from it that the reference URL shows. This leads me to believe I don't have the latest SDK's or SWC's or whatever I need installed, whether they be Flash, Flex, Air, etc.Also, I have a few packages locally that don't show up in the reference URL. Things like "flash.debugger" and "flash.trace", they are not my custom classes, not sure where they came from.
Lastly, there are certain AIR classes missing, and I'm sure this is because I don't have the latest AIR SDK installed. I did find it and download it, just not sure how to download it.
1) Is the above URL the one I should be using? If not, is there a better definitive location for Flash/AIR language reference that is updated and always has the latest and greatest info?
2) I have the latest AIR sdk on my desktop, how do I install it? (I'm using Flash CS5 on Mac OSX 10.6)
3) How can I make sure that what I see in that reference URL is what shows up in my code hinting when I type import statements in the Actions Panel? Basically I just want to make sure I am all up to date so everything is showing and working the way it should be. For instance, I am missing a ton of fl classes (containers, controls, core, data, etc.) I want to get these in place so my local copies are synchronized as close as possible with the reference. Documentation doesn't help much when you don't have the tools it tells you to use...
4) Take the fl.ik package for instance. Locally, I have available all the classes in the reference URL that I should, plus a bunch more that aren't there.
I'm trying to understand how packages and dependencies work with Adobe Flash Builder 4. I've copied an example here and put it in a .as file called DependencyGraph. However I get the error message: A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure '', as the definition's package, 'DependencyGraph'. I understand that the original file has a package name called package flare.apps. What should I change to enable this to run?
OK, heres the thing. Since i cannot stop the code from continuing while i', waiting for amf to send the data, i remember to put a simple rectangle with alpha 0 in front of the stage while waiting for amf to arrive, then remove it.
Since the amf call is done from another class. I don't know how to do this.
I'm just getting off the ground as an AS3 programmer and I'm having a lot of trouble getting Flash to recognize my packages. My intention is to keep a code library of all my AS3 source data and have Flash simply go fetch classes from there.
I have set Flash's source path to the following to accommodate my library:
C:Documents and Settings<username>My DocumentsMy DropboxCodeAS3src
However, when I attempt to include a class into a .fla, Flash gives me an error that it can't find the AS class files in the .fla's folder at compile time. So it seems to not be detecting the AS class files in the source path I have set.
Within src, the folders are structured as follows:
srcsivyrmap<AS classes here>
In my AS files themselves, I have written the package and class declarations as follows:
Code: package sivyr.map { // Includes include "flash.display.Sprite"
[code]....
And when I write an include to grab one of these classes, I write it as:
Have CS4 installed on my system, but have some requirements for Flash 8. Can I install Flash 8 from the Macromedia Studio 8 CD in a separate location on the same system without breaking CS4.
I'm NOT on Snow Leopard. MacPro, Intel, 4 gigs RAM. I did have Fireworks CS4 on my Mac, but it's all uninstalled. When I try to install the entire CS3 suite, Flash will not install. When I try to install Flash all by itself, it keeps asking for the Fireworks install CD, over and over, even though FW has been uninstalled. Then, ultimately, Flash doesn't install.I tried to run the CS3 cleanup script, but the terminal won't take my password. I ran the CS4 cleanup script after I uninstalled FW, but it said there was nothing to clean up.
I am trying to get the news media stations and the say Flash player needs installing. I click on install>agreement>continue>run etc then a dialogue box says that it couldn't install as the disc is coorupt and contact Adobe for a new one? To my knowledge, I don't have, and never have had a disc!
I try to install the trial version of Flash CS4 on my system, but when I start the setup file, the cursor changes to the waiting icon a few seconds and then returns to normal. Nothing happens, no error report. No process running in the system manager either. I looked it up in the event viewer, and there I see it listed as a application error, the details is as follows:[code]
I downloaded Flash, extracted it, and open the folder. However,when i click on setup.exe, nothing pops up. I looked inside task manager and see that the setup is using up 50% cpu but nothing pops up.I am using vista home premium sp2.
