Errors in FlashPunk tutorial

(ProstatePuncher) #1

Following the tutorial given here (http://useflashpunk.net/basic/flashpunk-basics.html#start-the-engine), I can’t get anything running.

I get to the end of step 1, trying to get the engine started, but receive two errors as below.

col: 28 Error: The definition of base class Engine was not found.

col: 28 Error: Method marked override must override another method.

I’m not understanding or seeing the problem.

You probably just forgot

	import net.flashpunk.Engine;

at the top of your class.

I’m using the exact given example at the end of tutorial step 1, and receiving this error. import net.flashpunk.Engine; is present at the top of my class.

did you drop the .net folder into the src folder of your project?

Now its working and giving no errors. Tutorial states to put it next to your main.as, which I stupidly assumed was the FlashDevelop AS3 project file.

Thanks for the help. My brain isn’t in it today.

“To add FlashPunk into your current project, first extract the archive you downloaded. Contained should be a folder called net; everything within that folder is FlashPunk.”

There isn’t ‘net’ folder. Instead, there’s a ‘docs’ older containing the FlashPunk stuff. I’ve put that and I’m getting errors.

It’s because you probably downloaded the .“swc” file. I don’t use it, I have all the sources as the old way FP was distributed, but probably just creating a net folder inside your project and putting the swc there should be enough.

What did you do to fix it then, if I may ask, Mr.Puncher? I have the exact problem you had.

Sounds like he moved it in to the src file, where the main.as would be.
