Pure ActionScript examples don't work #1776

Closed chrisvelevitch closed 5 years ago

chrisvelevitch commented 5 years ago

The pure ActionScript examples that come with 3.5.0 don't always work. For example, the HelloWorld example doesn't unless you change line 45 in HelloWorldWeb.as:-

var MainType:Class = getDefinitionByName("feathers.examples.helloWorld.Main") as Class;

to:-

var MainType:Class = feathers.examples.helloWorld.Main as Class;

Then is works. The same thing with the DrawersExplorer example.

My Feathers install was created with Feathers SDK Manager and I selected Feathers 3.5.0 and Air 31.0 and Flash Player 31.0.

Why is happening?

The web versions of the examples are not distributed with the Feathers library. The code actually only exists so that I can build some SWFs to embed on feathersui.com.

However, if you want to build them, you need to use the -frame compiler option, like this:

-frame=two,feathers.examples.helloWorld.Main

This puts the Main class on frame 2 so that the first frame can load quickly and act as a preloader. You can see that I use the -frame compiler option in the build script.
