I'm currently reading myself into the scene2d.ui component of libGDX and I noticed something I can't quite explain. According to the documentation the skin looks for a texture region with the same name (without file ending) in the provided texture atlas and if it doesn't find any it it looks for a file with that name. The image filename in the fnt file is currently called default.png and while there is no image file with that name, there is an atlas region called default.
To get a better understanding of how things work together, I decided to change the names. I changed the image file name in the .fnt file to default2.png and changed the atlas region name to default2. In theory it should still work. However when I now start my application is says it can't find default2.png.
Could somebody maybe explain what I did wrong or what I overlooked?
Looks like I didn't read the documentation carefull enough. I changed the image file name inside the .fnt file, but that one isn't important. What is important is that the name of the .fnt file provided in the skins file has to be the same as the atlas region name. The image file name inside the .fnt file doesn't matter.

I've started using a task runner to export all of my folders into a distribution folder using Gulp. The problem arises when I export images into the distribution folder, the path name is different from the one I'm using in my src file. So, as an example, when I target an image in HTML I type:
/assets/images/example.jpg
However, when the HTML file is distributed, it is supposed to target:
/images/example.jpg
It's still pointing to the assets folder, and creates a dead link. Should I be using a module like gulp-replace to automatically change these path names? Or should I just type in the assumed path name? Or, is there another method that I'm missing?
Sorry if I've phrased this badly, I'm working towards a new developer environment - let me know if I can provide you with any other details.

Yes, gulp-replace will do the trick.
As an alternative you can place your index.html file into assets folder, so you don't need to change any paths when distributing the project.
I am trying to load all the .png files from an internal application folder into a list control and I am stuck on exactly how to do it. I have tried httpservice to get the folder and count how many images there are so I can loop through them but I just cant figure that out.
File structure
-src
-(default package)
-my application files
-icons
-all my .png files
httpService i tried:
<s:HTTPService id="loadAllImages" destination="/icons" result="gotImages(event)" fault="loadAllImagesFault(event)"/>
This always results in directory not found. Am I going about this completely wrong? Anyone have a suggestion?
You can't do this. To store an image within an Flash application (SWF or AIR), you must embed it either using #Embed('') in MXML or by using the [Class] method.
The only way to actually reveal a folder directory of an internal folder in an AIR app is by using File (which is an AIR only class).
var file:File = File.applicationDirectory;
file.browseForDirectory('icons'); ; //unsure if that will pull an internal folder or not, but you get the idea
If this is an external directory (doesn't sound like it is), I believe you would do it how you show in your question (although I have never needed to use this method, so I don't know if/how it works)
I have a lot of library assets linked to external as3 classes. I would like to change the structure of the packages containing the linked classes, but if I do so, all links will get broken.
Is there any way to automatically or at least easily tell the FLA file where to get the new class files from? Could a FLA file be configured to read this sort of information from a configuration file?
You can add a folder to the source paths in ActionScript Settings. So if you had linked all your classes relative to the 'myClasses' folder, and then you moved everything to a different folder, you'd just have to update that one source path and it would find all the classes again.
Also, maybe this obvious, but I didn't realize it for a long time:
You can edit the class linkage right in the Library panel (without having to open the Properties for each symbol). Just double-click the linkage path.
I'm trying to reverse engineer something. I've got the compiled GFX files and I'd like to know what ExternalInterface.call they are executing. Any suggestion on a good way capture the function names?
The GFX files are just SWF files, so any Flash decompiler (like SWIX or the ones from Sothink) will work. However, you do have to change the file slightly for them to be recognised as an SWF file:
Rename the file to "something.swf"
Open the file in a hex editor, and change the first three bytes as follows:
Compressed files start with "CFX" - change this to "CWS"
Uncompressed files start with "GFX" - change this to "FWS"
I am creating a Zip file from a folder (and subfolders). it works fine and creates a new .zip file also but I am having an issue while using glob.glob. It is reading all files from the desired folder (source folder) and writing to the new zip file but the problem is that it is, however, adding subdirectories, but not adding files form the subdirectories.
I am giving user an option to select the filename and path as well as filetype also (Zip or Tar). I don;t get any problem while creating .tar.gz file, but when use creates .zip file, this problem comes across.
Here is my code:
for name in (Source_Dir):
for name in glob.glob("/path/to/source/dir/*" ):
myZip.write(name, os.path.basename(name), zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)
myZip.close()
Also, if I use code below:
for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(Source_Dir):
myZip.write(os.path.join(dirpath, filename) os.path.basename(filename))
myZip.close()
Now the 2nd code taks all files even if it inside the folder/ subfolders, creates a new .zip file and write to it without any directory strucure. It even does not take dir structure for main folder and simply write all files from main dir or subdir to that .zip file.
Can anyone please help me or suggest me. I would prefer glob.glob rather than the 2nd option to use.
Thanks in advance.

Glob by design does not expand into subdirectories. It follows UNIX style path rules and expansions see the documentation for fnmatch for more information. If you want to get at the subdirectories you need to add it to the path. This example will get everything at one level down.
for name in (Source_Dir):
for name in glob.glob("/path/to/source/dir/*/*" ):
myZip.write(name, os.path.basename(name), zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)
myZip.close()
Doug Hellman has an excellent discussion here. If you are not using the pattern features of glob (like *.txt for all text files or *[0-9].txt for all text files that have a number before the extension) then I think your os.walk solution is better
