Re: [flexcoders] Flex & Mac

Hi Alisdair,
Yeah I am stoked!
I think that when I compiled the actionscript file is how I got the swf. I will have lots of reading to do, and to look at the samples(now that I can compile them). I did look all over labs, but I could not find the standalone flash player 8.5 for mac. Tomorrow, I am going to try to download the flex builder package, maybe it is in there someplace.

Been playing with ANT and Ecpilse, and I think that is going to be a great way to compile the files once I figure it out.

Thank you so much for your help`-`
John

glad you got it working john. the standalone player for 8.5 mac can be found somewhere in the windows flex builder 2 exe installation. would make sense for this to be available for download from labs - but i don't think it is currently.

cheers, Al

Hi I got it to work, I am so happy`-`
The problem was my sloopy actionscript, I am really new!

I was wondering the standalone flashplayer(came with Studio 8), could not display the swf file, so I put it on the web(http://www.johnbarrett.net/HelloWorld.swf) and I can see that it does say "Hello World" Is there a way to get the flash player 8.5 for the standalone?

Thanks so much for your help,
John:)

Hi John,

looks like you are using an old tutorial put up for the flex2 alpha... things have changed somewhat since then - try :

flex/bin/mxmlc�flex/frameworks/HelloMXML.mxml

note you'll need to change the macromedia namespace to�http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml.

There are loads of ways to make mxmlc compiling easier on a Mac - ANT if using eclipse, or setting up your .bash_profile to automatically find the flex bin folder if you prefer the command line. Have been meaning to collect a lot of this kind of info and gather it in one place... i'll try and sort that out this week.

Hope this helps.

cheers, Al

Hi Everybody,

I downloaded the Flex SDK 2.0 (http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs)

I hae some questions:
How do I compile the flex and actionscript files? I tried:
java -jar flex/lib/mxmlc.jar -flexlib flex/frameworks/HelloMXML.mxml

I get the error message:
Unable to access jarfile {flex}/lib/mxmlc.jar

same problem with actionscript.
java -jar flex/lib/mxmlc.jar -flexlib flex/frameworks/HelloAS3.as
I did check, and this file does exsist in flex/lib/mxmlc.jar

I haved flex at /Users/johnbarrett/flex

I am just hoping to compile the flex application to get the swfs

I tried many different ways to get this to work, but could not. The flex download came with samples, and I am lost on how to get those compiled too:(

I heard about Ant too, is that a better way? is ant java? I am just taking java I now at school, learning, but no where near to "knowing java"

can anybody offer me some help?
Thanks so much,
John
