For developing Flash / ActionScript packages on Windows, there is no better free tool than FlashDevelop.Unfortunately, its reliance on the .Net framework make it ill-suited for AS3 development on Ubuntu. (My attempts to get it working with Mono failed - the installer wouldn't even work.)Is there a similar tool for use with Ubuntu?

View 1 RepliesI've searched this and cannot find it. I've tried different plugins and different browsers (Firefox, Opera, and Chrome). I've tried most of the no flash plugins for each of those as well as disabling Flash plugins/addons in the settings. I also renamed the .so file in /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/ i found by searching the system. when i renamed it, makes Firefox and Chrome ask to install Flash, but still:alert(navigator.mimeTypes['application/x-shockwave-flash'].type);returns:application/x-shockwave-flash'm not sure what else to try without uninstalling Flash, but that will be a total pain in the ass for this. I also REALLY don't want to use SWFObject just to see if Flash is at all installed which I can do simply with:

I've just installed Flash builder on my machine, which went ahead and installed the debug version of Flash on my machine as well. It appears now that this has broken Flash in my browsers or at least the browsers have no idea where flash is located on my machine. When I open a browser and navigate to a Flash page I get the message,
"Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash "
This is from Google chrome but FF is also effected.

How to compile a theme using FD 3 or 4? I have a CSS file with assets and would like to get a SWC file (not SWF) like halo.swc
View 2 RepliesI'm making a game in actionscript using the FlashDevelop tool and the FlashPunk game engine. I have a designer making movie clips for me to put into this game using Flash CS3.
My problem is that when I add these movie clips into my game they are playing much quicker than they should. Is there a specific frame rate clips need to be made in within CS3 or any other export options set to enable them to play at the correct speed or is this something that I need to deal with in my code.
EDIT
Another problem that I'm having is that the command movieClip.stop() doesn't work. Is there anything special that needs doing while exporting or the programming side?

Here is how I'm loading in my swfs:
public var movieClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
private var myLoader:Loader;

Whenever I compile my project using FlashDevelop in 'Debug' the Flash Player window remains after I have clicked the 'Stop' button in Flash Develop. I have to then switch over to the flash player, click through any error messages and then close the player, which wastes a lot of time in the long run.Any way to make it so Flash Player closes when I click 'Stop' in the Flash Develop debug tools? EDIT: My setup is a fresh install of Windows 7, a new copy of Flash Develop 4 and Flash Player 10.

I'm developing a website which will need to communicate with an AIR application, I develop with javascript and don't know much about actionscript. I'm at the early stages of this and I'm using a trial of Adobe Flash to create some swf files which can communicate with javascript, the code from the Action window is as follows (most of it is bastardised from web examples):
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
var myText:String = "Example String";
ExternalInterface.addCallback("sendOutput", sendStaticTextFromAS3);
function sendStaticTextFromAS3():void {
ExternalInterface.call("receiveTextFromAS3", myText);
}
All this is doing is receiving a call from javascript and sending back a string and calling the function which will deal with it (it will become more complex).
My problem is that Flash is going to expire soon, and to future proof the project without having to spend a lot on flash I want to move into FlashDevelop. As I don't need any objects on the stage all I need is to edit actionscript, so FlashDevelop is all I need. I create a new AS3 Project in FlashDevelop and I get given this code:
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
[Code].....
I'm guessing Adobe Flash adds this automatically when compiling the swf so I have no idea where my code is supposed to go, except to add the import flash.external.ExternalInterface; at the top?
