Opening a 2019 FLA in Animate 2023 only searches for the 2019 library

[hclmed0]

When searching an FLA from 2019, there doesn't seem to be any specification for the path to a 2019 library, yet it starts with the compile error:

Warning: Source path "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Animate CC 2019\Common\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\libs" does not resolve to a valid directory.

Where can I specify that it should look for:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Animate 2023\Common\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0\libs

instead?
Thanks,

click file>publish settings>action script settings

and click the library path tab

That solves it. You did it again Kglad.

Now digging into someother incompatibilities.

Thank you.

Don't know if I should start a new thread for this, but the application I'm updating included the Greensock AS3 library, which doesn't seem to be offered anymore. Is an archive of that available that will link to the current version of Animate?

It uses these librares:

import com.greensock.TimelineMax;
import com.greensock.TweenMax;
import com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent;
import com.greensock.loading.*;
import com.greensock.plugins.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;

i don't see why an old version would be a problem. as3 is as3.  nothing's been removed.

Ok, great. I hadn't realized that was the source that could be linked to the app. So those references are now resolved. I was also able to get 2 additional references resolved by finding another library that had to be included using your pointer above.

Now my next puzzler is how to make a Windows executable from what was originally an AIR app. It actually previews correctly, but I don't seem to have a way to publish a correctly functioning exe yet. (It seems to start on a frame later than the inital one). When I try to publish an AIR file it publishes an .airi file, which isn't executable.

change the publish settings of your air file to a projector and save with a new name.  then publish (with that new name) and test.

any problem?
