Actionscript Debugging - actionscript-3

I'm looking for anyone who has any ActionScript 3 experience fix an issue in a dead flash game that became broken due to the domain being up for sale (and subsequently not being able to retrieve crossdomain.xml). There is more info on this github repo (fillwithjoy1/Shop_Empire_3)

All movement jitters - caused by windows?

I'm using FlashDevelop 5.0.2.2 and also tried to compile on Flash Builder 4.6 ....
So, i have this game i'm building and i have noticed that every movement I made with code - it jitters. I tried with "release", tried different flash players - nothing, same thing. Also, implemented fixed frame rate, used elapsed time in other example - it's same for all tries - the movement jitters!
So, i went back,from mine old games, which are published and i know they run good - i compiled one of them - and now that games - jitters too.
I was wondering what is happening?
I'm using Windows 10 x64bit, with all the latest updates installed... also, the AIR SDK is the latest, so i don't know what i'm missing? Maybe some folder needs deleting or setting, i don't - tried many things, nothing helps.
help, please?

action script 2 versus action script 3

I am learning ActionScript and am brand new to making Flash movie clips. Overall it seems pretty easy but I have discovered that there is a huge difference between AS2 and AS3, and that components built in one will not run with code written in the other.
This makes for some big obstacles for me, I have a reason to develop in AS2 but everything on the net is geared around AS3, even the latest versions of Flash Professional are full of components and examples in AS3. (I am using CS5 right now). I tried to use the components from the library and they do not work when building an AS2 project, the compiler errors all complain about "The class or interface 'xxx' could not be loaded" where xxx is referring to some part of the component object from the library.
Any advice here would be much appreciated. I am sure experienced developers have had issues when trying to 'bridge the gap' between old code and new code, if there is a web resource or some sort of advice then that would help.
Well, AS3 was introduced 9 Years ago! AS2 is deprecated and you really should write any code in AS3 for serveral reasons. The mysterious AS2 class that you need, may exist in AS3 or can be somehow adapted to AS3, if you tell us more about it maybe you get a proper solution.

Is there a simplified explanation of how to setup an actionscript IDE?

I've recently purchased some beginner books on basic ActionScript animation and also downloaded the flashDevelop IDE. I've taken a couple Java classes and have a VERY basic understanding of coding and at that, computers in general. I'm having a difficult time figuring out this IDE (eclipse was setup for me). I've downloaded the file and installed the IDE. I made a file and wrote some code but when trying to compile I get some sort of pathway error and also an SDK error. I'm completely lost on how to fix these issues as the results I've found through Google and stackoverflow are not simplified enough. I'm also confused about how this ActionScript code will be turned into, say, a ball jumping around the screen. Could I please get a VERY simple, borderline special needs explanation of how to setup this IDE and also any info on additional programs needed to actually turn the code into an animation? Forgive me for my ignorance, but I'm starting from the ground up and any help will be much appreciated. Thank you
You may try Flash Builder, and you could change different version of sdk in flash builder. http://www.adobe.com/cn/products/flash-builder.html

Migrate from Flash AS3 to AIR

I've been developing a project in AS3 but decided to switch to AIR instead, as I found out it's impossible to save files on user's hard drive without prompt appearing. My question is, what changes do I have to expect? is the code written in same AS3 syntax/style? Did instantiating objects / drawing shapes / positioning system / stage change in AIR? thanks.
Everything is the same from a code perspective, except that the AIR SDK includes quite a number of new APIs that are less restrictive and geared toward application development since the deployment target is no longer a web browser.
If you can, you should take a day or 2 and read thru the documentation so you will know what's available to you. Make sure to select the most recent versions of AIR and Flash Player under Packages and Class Filters: Runtimes so the docs are populated with what you need.

AIR file is damaged after publish

I tried to find an answer here but haven't seen anything yet.
I've been working on an AIR application with Flash CS4 (AS3) for the last two days. Yesterday when publishing I was able to install the application (or overwrite existing version) without a problem. Now whenever I publish a new AIR file, it constantly tells me it cannot be installed because the "AIR file is damaged".
There are no actionscript errors or compiler errors when publishing, and I've generated a new certificate at least 3 times already thinking that may expire daily?
Any ideas? Thanks
Has the publisher ID of your application changed?
This may be related to you changing your certificate, or any of the details in your certificate.
You can also get this problem if you don't timestamp the app.
My bet though is that your publisher ID has changed, you will be able to set this manually in the imminent release of AIR 1.5.3

I've been having the same problem. Its been driving me crazy. I'll let you know if I figure anything out. I'm reinstalling AIR now.
I don't think it has to do with your FLA file, because I've worked around this issue by moving my .FLA to a different computer (running OS X instead of XP) with Flash and it published fine. This is quite a hack work around, hope it might help.
It must be either problem of including Time Stamp, or don't writing application configuration file correctly.
