I also had trouble getting the example to recognize Particle as a class.
To clarify what Phillc wrote, I added the following to the “Additionals” tab of the Flashout panel:

-cp “D:\Documents and Settings\JHowell\eclipse_workspace\swfmill_demo\src”

I had placed the .as files in a subdir of the project. Don’t forget those double quotes if you have a space in the path!

I no flash programming experience, but this application should not be all that complex, but it is absolutely necessary that it be scriptable in some fashion since the sequences will consist of several hundred frames.

I would greatly appreciate any advice as to which software to start out with, and any simple example code to get started.

Thanks in advance,

I ran into the same problem.

I wracked my brain until 1:00 AM and then it finally occurred to me that Particle.as should reside int he same location as the Flashout.as file. You do this, and its “All Good”.

I have the same problem as Myriam did about a year ago with “type error Unknown class Particle” on compile.

Im using the core MTASC library because I don’t have flash. I tried some things similar to what richard willis suggested only with where my core MTASC libraries are located. This didn’t work.

I looked up the documentation on Object.registerClass and it seems pretty straight foreword.

Anyone know where I can look to resolve this?

-header 320:240:30 -out output.swf

in the Additionals section, but I can’t seem to get a new file to be produced.

You can use the intrinsic classes that come with the latest versions of MTASC.

I just began exploring the open source flash development with your tutorial.
What I noticed is that we need Flash installed on the system in order to use the core classes provided by macromedia.

Is there some open source library of actionscript core classes that we can use ?
