I would like to use OggVorbis sound files in a flash project, and while I realize I can compile a SWC with crossbridge, that is a little over my head, so I was wondering if anyone knows of a ready to use SWC library available for download. I have googled this to death without much luck.
Alternatively, if anyone knows of a good walkthrough for compiling this library that would be great too. I have crossbridge set up and working, but when it gets to the part of making a swc interface I got a bit lost, and I'm on a time-table to get this working.
Thanks!
This one works pretty good, and has compiled SWC files.

the only IDE I've used for many years was Flash Builder. Sadly the 4.7 version is in a poor state, so, I started looking at other IDE's lately.
I'm trying IDEA, but I don't know how to add a library to my project.
In FB it was simple, I go to the compiler settings and I just add a folder or swc. But here, it seems like there are 2 options, one under the "Libraries" tab and other is creating a new module, however, this new module requires a main app, SDK, and a lot of other stuff that doesn't make any sense to have in a library.
So, what is the equivalent of adding a library path here?.
Thanks.
"Libraries" is the correct way to do it. There are two kinds of libraries: libraries and global libraries. Global libraries can configured once and used in every project. Libraries are configured for each project. See http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/configuring-project-and-global-libraries.html
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
Up until this point I have been doing all of my coding in sublime text 2, and compiling with flash pro cs6. I have gotten pretty good with actionscript 3. I have been uing the mvc design pattern and used external libraries like admobs and electroserver. The real reason why I got fdt and wanted because I wanted to play a source file I downloaded in which the document class was mxml.
In every tutorial though I see them say, "oh just click new flash project". the problem is though that there is no choice "flash project" There is only actionscript project and fdt project or fla.
In flash ide I would use one .fla as a "shell" to publish from, and have another .fla with the assets that would be embedded in as3 from its swf. I'm sure that's not the way to set up files in fdt, but I dont know the right way to do it, or even the right way to start.
Maybe I am not finding the right page, but it seems that the documentation on the site is pretty weak. Are there good tutorials somewhere that will help me start compiling projects? thanks
A tutorial specifically for people transitioning from flash ide to fdt would be helpful too.
I could be wrong, but from this IDE, you can't compile fla.
Instead of this, it provides another approach to build projects.
You have to start "new FDT Project", select base and set main class,
which must be compiled.
In result this approach more flexible and convinient.
How do teams do to work all at the same time on the same .fla file when working with version control?
We are a team of 2 working on a flash game right now and we found that, since it is a binary file, we can't work on the .fla file at the same time or one or the other will need to replace his file (because it's almost impossible to merge).
The best solution we could find for short term, is texting the other "lock" and "unlock" whenever we want to work on the file. Yes, it is very inconvenient, I agree. There has to be a clean solution to this.
So how do big teams manage a binary file with version control?
What would be our alternative?
We use flash cs5 along with bitbucket and TurtoiseHg, if that changes anything.
Thank you for your precious time.

I have got an assignment in which I have to implement a AS3 wrapper for any FLV player and I have to expose actionscript functions (External Interfaces?) so that other can be used in other different applications via CallFunction API. I have few questions regarding this -
Are the tools for this are freely available? I know Flex SDK is but I want standalone swf (I means Flash Player 10) that can be used anywhere without any dependency and should contain FLV player embedded or should be able to load it from a particular location by supplying the URL.
Is it possible only with an ActionScript compiler (or any free tools?). My problem is that I don't have flash or flex builder and I don't want to spend money on these because I don't work on it.
As I have almost zero knowledge about it. Can you guys please explain me (if possible with details) that what I need to do. Any resoures on how to create and compile?
If any of you have ever done this it would be really great if you guys can share samples. I've heard that many people have done the same thing for video players.
I can share a bit of my setup
I use Flash (CS5) for creating assets
I use FlexSDK as the compiler
And do all the code in FlashDevelop
Flashdevelop is for PC only for now, it's free and comes since the last few versions now with a debugger
I use FlexSDK to compile and Eclipse with AS IDE or something along those lines, and then preview things in a web browser using an html page with the swf file embedded.
check out projectsprouts. its a pretty nice Flash (as2/3/Flex/AIR) generation tool that can help you stub out your project, compile it, and even create unit tests if you want. pretty simple ruby install (i am a ruby newb, and got is running pretty easily). It was a pretty good support base, and an active mailing list where people will be happy to help you along.
It is important to note that the FlexSDK has very little to do with Flex unless you are linking against classes that are Flex specific. mxmlc does not have anything to do with MXML even though it will also compile MXML.
Here is an article that describes Flash development on Linux. It is pretty old, but the principles are the same. With an Actionscript 3 Compiler (contained in the FlexSDK) and a text editor, you are off to the races. It is a lot easier with Flash Builder 4, FDT 4, Intellij IDEA, Flash Develop, etc ;)
