Older Flex projects would have compiled correctly and the SWF and HTML files created in the bin-debug folder. If you changed something in one of these projects, clicked run, got the error message and click proceed, Flex will not compile the SWF and will, instead, run the older SWF that did compile correctly.
With a new project that you have never gotten to compile correctly, there will be no olderSWF or HTML file to run so when you click proceed, you will get a file not found error. On a secondary note, the code you supplied is not an application. An Actionscript application would need to subclass Application. --- In [email protected], "brucewhealton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ok, so, this time I opened a few different Flex projects and an > Actionscript Project.
