I'm not sure if I've configured FlashDevelop properly

(Eoghain McGrath) #1

I followed the tutorial here, Setting up Flashdevelop , but instead of downloading the SDK and the Debug Player from their respective sites, I opted for using AppMan. It seemed to configure both the SDK and debug player for me, as the settings for each show they are pointed towards both of the folders for each. Anyway, I ran Hello World, it worked by showing me the output, but the window that popped up showed me nothing. Any ideas? I’m a little confused. Cheers in advance. :smile:

What do you expect to see? Have you added anything to the stage?

I expect to see adobe flash player display the words, “Hello world”? It’s blank though.

Nope, that’s not quite how it works. using the trace function prints text to the output console, nothing more. It sounds to me that you’re set up correctly, it’s just displaying an empty window because there’s nothing to display.

Could you link me to some sample code that would display something? Just so I know it’s working. :slight_smile:

addChild(new flash.display.Bitmap(new flash.display.BitmapData(100, 100, false, 0xff0000)));

Thanks a lot Jacob. :blush:

On mine, it makes the red square but does not show “Hello World” at the output… any idea? :confused:

Please, start a new Topic explaining everything from the start. It’s not really clear what’s happening to you. :wink:

Are you compiling in debug mode?
