This does not work for me. I add the SWC to my library path and I get Definition not found errors when I publish. However, if I add the Flex src folder to the source library, it works fine. Are there any reasons why the SWC file would not get picked up, or would be built in a way that CS4 would be unable to reference the AS files in the library

Okay, Serge, this is great, but… what I really need is to be able to use Flex Components (i.e. TextArea, RichTextEditor) in my Flash CS4 app. Can you show us how to do that?

Thanks!

Hi all, it’s me again. I’ve got some more info about the problem I described in my previous post: it actually matters on which hard disk partition I save the .fla file (no matter if it’s from the ‘untitled’ state or if I do “Save as…”)!

I’ve got two Windows partitions, C: and D: All my Adobe software and the linked .swc file are on C: If I save the .fla file to D: and then test the movie, nothing happens. If I (re)save the .fla file to C: and then test the movie, everything works fine! Any comments or suggestions why this happens?

Hi Serge et al.,

I’ve come across a strange problem when I tried to replicate this example on Windows XP. I did all the Flex steps as in the tutorial and then created a new file in Flash CS4 (“Untitled-1″). When I test the movie in Flash, everything’s fine. Also an additional trace statement after addChild(myRect); is displayed as expected in the Output panel.
However, as soon as I save the ‘untitled’ .fla file to my hard disk the following happens when I test the movie: the movie itself is empty (no rectangle to be seen), no trace statement but also not any error message! The same problem occurs when I directly save the empty .fla to my hard disk and then link to the swc and add the timeline code.
Do you have any suggestion why this happens – is it a bug or do I have to do an extra step when working with an already saved .fla file? Did anyone else come across this problem?

Thanks,

Thomas

Is there an advantage to using this method over using a classpath in Flash connected to classes created in Flex? Great tutorial! Thanks!

Serge, using Vimeo…. good move. So sorry, but I can’t stand Adobe TV and am happy you put your videos on Vimeo.

Cheers!
