Use Flash Develop or Flex Builder Flash develop is free and great for as3; yet, Flex Builder for eclipse, with its insanely high price tag of $249, is better if you want to include capabilities to edit other languages like c++ or java.

Re: [Flashcoders] Just a quick one
Flash develop is free and great for as3; yet, Flex Builder for eclipse, with its insanely high price tag of $249, is better if you want to include capabilities to edit other languages like c++ or java. Well, I've never used FlashDevelop, but if you just want to write C++ or Java or a bunch of other things, you can just download Eclipse for free too, and use both for different things. IMHO they should have just integrated all the code editing and compilation abilities into dreamweaver to make it a better, must have, product, or put everything dreamweaver has into eclipse if they truly want to move everything to eclipse. Dreamweaver and Eclipse are fundamentally different things, and I really don't see how this could happen well. For example, Dreamweaver doesn't include support for refactoring, because it's something that doesn't really make sense within an HTML editor. As for putting everything Dreamweaver has into Eclipse, check out Aptana, which is an Eclipse plugin for HTML/JS authoring. It's pretty neat. But again, HTML authoring is quite a bit different from the traditional programming that Eclipse is aimed at. Eclipse is insanely slow, and java , even with flashdevelop's sytax checking through java, makes my dual core 2.2 ghz CPU with 2gigs of memory, spike at 45% for its processes and take 250 - 500 MB of memory. Java sucks ass when it comes to speed; despite the propaganda, spread by SUN and java developers, to the contrary. I use Eclipse on much weaker computers than that without any problem. The computer I'm using right now is a single-core CPU with 1GB RAM. There's a lot of stuff you can turn off to make it work a little faster. I've never heard any Java programmers talk about Java's speed in a positive way, unless you consider it sucks less than it used to as a positive statement. But frankly, speed isn't all that important in a text editor. I do admit I am looking forward to ordering a new, insanely fast computer, so that Eclipse will be more tolerable.

Re: [Flashcoders] How much bytes ActionScript classes take in SWF?
I'm afraid the flex SDK is for AS 3 only. As you know, the flash IDE compiler won't give you that report. MTASC won't do it either, I think (at least, it has no switch for that). Can you run .NET 1.1? If so, I might have a way to get that data. Some time ago I wrote a very basic swf parser. It's very basic but could work. It reads the swf, and identifies all the tags. AS 2 classes are compiled with 2 tags, if I'm not wrong. An export tag, which defines the name of the class or interface (plus some internal ID), and a DoInitAction, which contains the compiled bytecode for that class. I'm already getting the size of the tags, so tweaking the code to report the name and the size of each class shouldn't be too hard; I think I wouldn't take more than 1 hour, since all the data is already there; it just needs to be printed. This is an OS project, hosted on google code ( http://code.google.com/p/swfparserlib/). It'm not developing it currently, but I could add that report easily if you are interested. And, of course, since it's open source, you could tweak it yourself if you feel like. Cheers Juan Pablo Califano 2009/4/18 Pavel Repkin pavel.rep...@gmail.com Thanks, Juan, this is exactly what I'm looking for! Does flex compiler work with ActionScript 2.0? I forgot to mention that we are working with 2.0.

I just mean it could be a good way to check what classes are included. 2) Any code in the fla will not be included, of course. If you create a ref to some class only in timeline code, it will not be included in the swf compiled with the sdk 2009/4/15, Juan Pablo Califano califa010.flashcod...@gmail.com: If you have a document class in place, it should be easy to compile your project with the flex SDK compiler. You could compile on the command line, which is not too hard or try some IDE like Flashdevelop (if you're on windows), where setting up a project is pretty stright forward. The extra compiler argument you need is -link-report size-report.xml. This will generate an xml detailed information about all compiled classes, theirs dependencies, and the optimized and unoptimized size. You could then parse this xml and create your own report as you like. Cheers Juan Pablo Califano 2009/4/15, Pavel Repkin pavel.rep...@gmail.com: There are 500 KB of ActionScript code in our project (according to Flash size-report) That is a lot. I want to find the classes (packages) that take most space. And then to optimize them. And throw away classes that were linked by a mistake. So I want to find out how much space take individual classes and packages in the swf. Do you know a tool that can help me? Ideally the app should display class tree with size in KB beside each node.

Re: [Flashcoders] Just a quick one
Thank you all for the great responses. I actually think I have a copy of flex 1 somewhere. LOL But alas my movie is still not working and my programming knowledge extent at this time is as2 based. Don't seem to get the time to dive into as3 or any other ie: flex 1 I really am stumped on how to get the wh of this loaded data.

Re: [Flashcoders] Just a quick one
This should work:
import ImageLoader;
var imgHolder:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(imgHolder_mc,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
var imgURL:String = ableton_live6_logo.jpg;
var imgLoader:ImageLoader;
function onLoadInit():Void {
trace(Application ::: onLoadInit);
trace(- width: + imgHolder._width);
trace(- height: + imgHolder._height);
}
imgLoader = new ImageLoader();
imgLoader.addListener(this);
imgLoader.loadImage(imgURL, imgHolder);
