Im using mxmlc to compile as3 on ubuntu linux. I've donwloaded flex4_b2_100509, just to use the most recent stuff...so Im typing 'mxmlc file.as' but it just hangs on me... it doesnt return anything. I checked running processes ('ps -e') and its showing both mxmlc and java as running, which tells me the compiler started. after a while the shell reports a 'segmentation fault'l.
View 1 RepliesI have a tiny actionscript "project" consisting of two files, call them foo.as and bar.as. For reasons I won't go into, I really really want to build the .SWF from the command line, without setting up a formal project of any kind. Every compiler I've ever used lets you do this, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to coerce MXMLC into compiling these two files and linking them into a SWF.
Naively, I try
MXMLC foo.as bar.as
but I'm informed that only one source file is allowed.supposing I compiled these two files separately, how would I link them together to get the final SWF?
NOTE: The only reason I have two files instead of one is the requirement of only one class per file. I tried putting both classes in one file and making one of the classes "private" or "internal" but neither of these ideas worked. I would be ecstatic to find out I can put more than one class in a file (with only one being public).
I'm interested in learning just enough Flash/Flex to do things that I can't do from HTML and JavaScript alone - play sound files and video, use multiple file upload things, perform cross-domain Ajax requests using the crossdomain.xml file etc. As such, I don't really want to learn (or pay for) the Flex IDE. I'm not much of an IDE guy in any case.
The problem is, most of the tutorials I've found talk about the IDE. I've figured out how to compile .mxml files at the command line using bin/mxmlc - now I just need to learn MXML, ActionScript and the various APIs! What are the best resources for learning these? I'm fine with buying a book, I just don't want to shell out for the API itself.
i have this flex app (it's a flex project created from flash builder), and it compiles fine when i build it from the IDE.it fails to compile when i do it from command line through mxmlc.i am invoking the mxmlc at the location "flash-builder-installation"sdks"flex-ver"inthe mxml file is test.mxml.i don't have any dependency on any of custom swc file.i am getting the following type errors when i compile it.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a situation where I need to generate SWF from the FLA that user uploads on to the server. We use python and bash scripts, and work on Ubuntu Server 10.04 (64bit), any help on how to generate the SWF would be a great help.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to compile a file into swf using mxmlc in command line. When it is a very simple mxml, compile is successful. But when the file contaion the fx name space, I get a compile error like: could not resolve (or ) to a component implementation.
I have to be able to do this, without the help of Flash Builder because I am working on a project where I will need to generate swf files from mxml files of which we generate the code.The code I am trying to compile is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
[code]....
I downloaded the Flex 4 SDK from Adobe and extracted the contents to ~/Documents/flex4_sdk.
Now I have the following simple MXML file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- usingas/StatementSyntax.mxml -->
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
[Code]....
When I compile it with mxmlc /path/to/file.mxml, I get:
Loading configuration file ~/Documents/flex4_sdk/frameworks/flex-config.xml/path/to/file.mxml (38642 bytes)
However, the resultant SWF file is blank. (Basically just a white canvas.)
When I use mxmlc to compile my mxml file, I get swf file. Now, I want to change the config to make mxmlc compiler generate html file instead, as we can do in Eclipse or Flex Builder.
View 2 RepliesI'm running ant to compile a Flex application, and the build keeps failing when running it on a windows command line. Other people in my team can successfully run the very same build under mac and linux. This is the error shown in the command prompt:
[Code]...
All tokens are set in corresponding build.properties and filter .properties files (and, as I said before, it compiles perfectly under mac and linux). The windows version is 7 Ultimate, FLEX_HOME is set as an environment variable to the Flex SDK 3.5 (the 3.5.0.12683 build that comes with Adobe Flash Builder Burrito). ${compiler.fork} is set to false, to avoid an issue with the SDK and the source files being in different logic drives.
Well i have an adobe air which runs vlc-player at background as service. i check that in Windows Task Manager , the service runs when air application launches.

I want it so that when you click a button, it will run a multiplayer game and connect to a server, WITHOUT having any .bat or .exe files beforehand. So any new guy can rock up and connect, just as long as he has the game.
If you run Jedi Academy multiplayer like this:
jamp +set fs_game "japlus" +connect "193.155.0.5:29070"
It will run the game and connect to a certain server. The problem is, how do I get Flash to do that without any premade .exes with command lines?
The only other problem I can think of is, is it possible to run the game without knowing the directory the exe is in? In other words, could Flash find the game .exe if it was just given a name?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create/write a custom flash video player program which I want to compile into an .exe after I'm happy with it.The tricky part is, I want my other windows application to be able to specify a path to a video in the hook to open the .exe video player. Example .... When clicked inside of my Custom .Net application, I will open a link to my video program with a hook for which video to play as such...
Target: "C:VideoPlayer.exe" -C:VideosExample.flv
how I can do this in code of my video player? I am willing to vary my format of handling this to accomplish my goal. have thought about reading from a text file and pulling the path to the video from there and then deleting the text file later, this is a last resort however as I would like very much to use a command line hook instead. Please give me any suggestions or ideas and or samples of code.

I'd like to be able to write a .swf file that is runnable as a command line app. In other words, I would be able to create actionscript classes which can interact with stdin and stdout, and could then execute that .swf directly in the command line. I suspect that this isn't really possible. Can anyone confirm that? EDIT: A couple of the answers pointed out that using Flash for command line work probably isn't the best choice. I wholeheartedly agree in most situations. The reason I am asking about this is because I want to do some AS3 code generation, and reflecting on AS3 classes within the runtime would be easier than parsing the code or walking the intermediary XML that asdoc produces. I'm doing the XML approach now in Ruby, but would love to have a cleaner solution!
