trouble pointing animate to class library

Report · Sep 22, 2019

I am following a tutorial from a book. This time instaead of using flash builder the author is using Flash Pro. I use Animate so thought this would be easy book to follow

According to instructions i should point animate at a special class library called com/friendsofed/utils/:StatusBox

I know that the files are there and the folder structure is correct.

I go to file actionscriptsettings and in the source path I navigate to the com folder.

When I compile I get the message: Library path (FlexSDK)/framework/libs/flex.swc does not reslve to a valid file.

Am I going wrong in my advanced actionscript settings, setting the source path wrong.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I cannot even get the hello world version going. I can only use the one you sent me. I am losing my mind here.

OK so I'm nearly there with your help.

I was failing to comment out the embed tags in the .statusbox file. I did not undersatnd what you meant about the embed font tags. I removed the _textField.embedFonts = true; as you did. It's working now.

I think im able to go ahead now using the updated statusbox class.

I hope that the other new classes the author has introduced dont also have embedded fonts or I will have to search through every one to find them. I am downloading example files from GitHub as the book's source file depository is long gone. Perhaps the uploader to GitHub altered the files to make them work in Flash Builder or some other ide rather than Flash Pro.

I am very happy that I can continue studying with this author. He is very very good.

I gotta thank you for helping me again. Thanks man 🙂
