    Thanks for this wonderful tool, but I am wondering where’s the IDE to drag and drop like a kinda world editor shown in the homepage of this website?

  • Brian

    Is this still the best way to set up the project in FlashDevelop? I’m using the latest FlashDevelop (4.0.0 RC1) and I’m getting some compile errors:

    Error: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Scene3D.
    Error: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Pivot3D.

    Wow, I wish I had held off on that last comment just a few more minutes. The problem was that the new Flare3D library (Flare3D_2042.swc) was not being properly referenced in the flare3d_prerelease.as3proj.

    If anyone runs into this issue, right click on your project in Flash Develop, select Properties, go to the Compiler Options, and add “lib\Flare3D_2042.swc” to the SWC Libraries.

    FYI, this does not seem to work with the latest release of FlashDevelop (i.e., 4.0.0 RC1)… In particular, I cannot figure out how to configure it to build any of the examples…

    FYI, when I try to test the project (using Project–>Test Project), the following errors are produced, and there does not seem to be a way to run individual example files:

    FYI, following Brian’s October 8 note, I was able to get the Project–>Test Project function to work, but now I cannot figure out how to execute one of the examples…
