Need help integration a AS3 drawing game into a .fla

Hi,

I created a drawing game by following a tutorial on this website : http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/create-a-basic-drawing-application-in-flash--active-1627

It was pretty straight forward. (you can download the source file to have the same code as me and save time).

Now to the fun part!

I previously created an iPad app in Flash. Works great by the way and is published on the App Store. (Search for : Henri Godon -> free app)

My client wants this drawing game to be incorporated in his app with a possibility of 3 different images to color opon. Which is pretty easy to do.

I thought that just doing a simple copy/paste and including the scripts would do the trick.... WRONG! I keep getting errors once I try to export it or test it out.

My App works great without the game. And the game works great alone. It's only one I try to embed it that I'm stuck.

Here are my errors, hope someone has an easy DIY way that I'm not aware of since I have never done this before.

ERROR 1:

1037 : Packages cannot be nested.

here is what it is referring to in the Main.as script :

package

{

import PNGEncoder;

import flash.display.MovieClip;

import flash.display.Shape;

import flash.display.DisplayObject;

import flash.text.TextField;

import flash.text.TextFormat;

import flash.text.TextFieldType;

import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;

import flash.display.BitmapData;

import flash.geom.ColorTransform;

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import flash.events.Event;

import flash.utils.ByteArray;

import flash.net.FileReference;

public class Main extends MovieClip

{

ERROR 2:

Even if I try to remove that part, then I get an other error saying

1114: The public attribute can only be used inside a package. (which is kinda obvious)

1084: Syntax error: expecting leftbrace before var.

So nothing works after that...

I added the Main.as in the ActionScript setting in the Document class. So I know it is loaded in a way, but after that I'm stuck!

Please help out! I'll do anything.

ActionScript

Correct answer kglad

‌hi kglad,

yes yes I can create a swf with it. How would I import it so it could play on iPad?

not sure what a loader class is or how to add the class to my project.

feeling like a noob here. I just transferred from using Director lingo to learning flash in a week.

DIrector can't make 64bit iOS apps... Learning curve is kinda steep.

var loader:Loader=new Loader();

var lc:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false,ApplicationDomain.currentDomain,null);

loader.load(new URLRequest('yourgameswf.swf'),lc);

addChild(loader);

you have mismatched curly brackets in your class.

do you have a back_btn each loaded swf?

No an I got errors flying everywhere now.....

I'll erase everything and start from scratch, and folowing the steps carefully.

I'll keep you posted on how I'm doing.

Again, your patience is more that appreciated.
