Hi again, Thanks Mike for the info but could you explain it a little bit more or point us to some place describing the process? I´m fairly sure I won´t be the only one trying to create swfs without the Flex Framework.
I haven´t done the test yet (I will, sure) but, which is the less size possible of a Flex application? I still have to take care about weight size in some projects. I know the Flex Framework is a boost for some applications (and free!) but maybe it´s still too heavy for ultra-light projects. Thanks, On 7/5/06, Mike Chambers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
There is not support for using the Flex Framework in an AS only project. While it is theoretically possible, you would have to manually bootstrap a lot of the application initialization code that Flex handles (something which would be rather complex). If you want to play with the framework, but don't want to layout your app with mxml, then the easier way is to create a simple mxml file that contains an application tag, and a script tag that then points to your code. This way, the application tag will take care of all of the initialization, and you can then leverage the framework via ActionScript. If you just want to use ActionScript and no framework, then mxmlc will also compile an .as file. Hope that helps... mike chambers [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Jul 5, 2006, at 11:58 AM, Zárate wrote: > Hi all, > > I want to start playing with AS3 so I´ve downloaded the Flex 2 SDK > from Adobe Labs.
