Thanks Bartek for the tutorial.
Question:

Where you say:

“Now create a new project with the ‘Actionscript 3 Default Project’ template”

.. do you mean “Empty Project”?

In the “New Project” dialog, in the ActionScript 3 section, that is the only non default type of template.

Otherwise there are ones scuh as Flash IDE Project, AS3 Project, Flex 3 Project, etc.. and the last one is “Empty Project”.

Thanks

Any recommendations for Mac OS X Users? Are there any (free) alternatives to Flashdevelop?

I’m a newbie for flash development. I’m having a question here, is it possible to do the references on library files such as DLL file? Could it be integrated with 3rd party component such as web camera device and so on? Thanks!

no no i doon’t talk about coding into the timeline, i m just saying that working without flash built symbols may be very difficult for any project… of course if you decide to do a pv3d project with bitmap materials… well i do the same … flashdevelop + flex SDK :)

@gropapa you are right. Developing on the timeline may seem faster and easier then using only code. However, most of the examples on this blog feature heavily scripted solutions – like 3d. In that case you can’t use the timeline anyway. And this is where the Flashdevelop/Flex SDK solution seems better/faster/easier to me then the Flash IDE.

hi there,
embed doesn”t work in flash you are right.
On the other side, saying that it is as easy to develop with flex sdk/flashDevelop as developing with flash IDE/flash develop for example is defenitly wrong!
How can you do a gotoAndPlay(labelName) if you don t have any library with movieClips stored in it…

@Skitsanos I do not know Flex that much, but this is where I first saw the [Embed] tag, that is why I called it "Flex style" :) @Giovambattista I think the best place to look for a solution to your problems is the FlashDevelop forum - it is here.

[Embed] tag doesn’t work in Flash. (Flex/FlexSDK only)

[Embed] actually have nothing to do with Flex. It’s just ActionScript 3 meta command. You trying to point the difference between embedding things via wizards and keep them in FLA as Flash IDE does and classy way, where everything done manually via ActionScript 3. Not necessary for Flex, there are plenty of other UI frameworks for ActionScript 3, Flex is just one of them and not the best one, at least at this point of time…
