Can't change syntax coloring

info@flashdevelop.org — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:19:58 GMT

Hi all, I tried to modify my color theme but nothing changed in real time. I had to restart FD for the changes to take effect.
If i want to change more than one element it is annoying. So, is it possible to fix this? I mean, can i fix it myself?

For example: I try to fix "commentline -> Foreground" to 0xFF3333
before: http://prntscr.com/1an8c9
result: http://prntscr.com/1an998

Surround with...

info@flashdevelop.org — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:32:10 GMT

Is there a function to automatically surround a block of text with curly braces? I see one for parenthesis and several types of command structures.

Basically I am just looking for the quickest way to define regions for FD to recognize that will not interfere with code. I thought highlighting the block of text and using surround would work, but one would want to use curly braces not parenthesis.

Re: Getting Less Compilation / Completion to work

LESS Completion/Compilation works fine on my home machine. My work machine has some strict security rules about running apps as administrator and I wonder if that is blocking the CSS plugin from working properly.

Re: Fdbuild command-line arguments

info@flashdevelop.org — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:16:30 GMT

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any way to set a variable for conditional compilation with the command line:

Code:

FDBuild_ 2.0.0.0 - FlashDevelop 2005-2010
Command-Line compiler for FlashDevelop project files.

Usage: fdbuild [options] <.fdp project file>
Options:
_ _ _-compiler:PARAM_ Set compiler executable path
_ _ _-cp:PARAM_ _ _ _ Add extra classpath
_ -? -help_ _ _ _ _ _ Show this help list
_ _ _-help2_ _ _ _ _ _Show an additional help list
_ _ _-ipc:PARAM_ _ _ _Connect to FlashDevelop's remoting services using the specified IPC name (optional)
_ _ _-library:PARAM_ _Set library base directory
_ _ _-nopostbuild_ _ _Disable execution of post build commands
_ _ _-noprebuild_ _ _ Disable execution of pre build commands
_ _ _-notrace_ _ _ _ _Disable tracing for this build
_ _ _-pause_ _ _ _ _ _Pause the console after building
_ _ _-swfmill:PARAM_ _Set Swfmill executable path
_ _ _-target:PARAM_ _ Set build target
_ _ _-usage_ _ _ _ _ _Show usage syntax and exit
_ _ _-version:PARAM_ _Set compiler version (optional)
_ -V -version_ _ _ _ _Display version and licensing information

This would really be helpful, since I'm trying to create a BAT file to build multiple versions of my app, with the differences being driven by conditional compilation.

AS3 iOS/Android App using Starling - creating a Projector?

info@flashdevelop.org — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:50:23 GMT

I've only recently started playing with AS3, AIR, FlashDevelop and Starling... so far, I'm loving it... getting stuff up and running on tablets and phone as been incredibly quick and easy using FD4.

I want to send my little game to a friend who doesn't have an iPad (and is quite useless technically), so I thought I could build a PC EXE/Projector and send him a self contained program on which he can just double click... however, that seems to be harder than I anticipated.

FD using the AIR launcher to launch using the right screen size and uses an XML file to specify GPU render modes and such like... but I can't find any way of creating a projector which uses those same parameters... the best I can manage is to load the SWF file in a stand alone flash player and go to 'Create Projector' - but the stage sizes and game resolutions are all screwed up.

Is there a tool in the AIR SDK that I'm missing that can package up a SWF as a standalone EXE, which does not require an AIR installation, and will honor all the running parameters that the AIR Launcher does when developing the app?

Thanks in advance...

Error: Access of Undefined Property menu

info@flashdevelop.org — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:41:15 GMT

Hello all, I am extremely new to development and I started using FlashDevelop and learning AS3 on the advice from various internet tutorials. Right now I am learning how to make a pong clone but I just ran into this error: "Access of undefined property menu" several times on my Main class file when trying to test my project. I can't really ask for help from the tutorial I am using because it is unfinished and hasn't been updated for quite some time, so that is why I ask for help here. The code for my main class is as follows:

Code:

package
{
_ _import flash.display.Sprite;
_ _import flash.events.Event;

_ _public class Main extends Sprite {
_ __ _private var game:PongGame;
_ __ _public function Main():void {
_ __ __ _if (stage) init();
_ __ __ _else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
_ __ _}
_ __ _private function init(e:Event = null):void {
_ __ __ _removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
_ __ __ _// entry point
_ __ _}
_ __ _private function buildMenu():void {
_ __ __ _menu = new MainMenu();
_ __ __ _addChild(menu);
_ __ __ _menu.addEventListener(CustomEvents.LAUNCH_GAME, startGame, false, 0, true);
_ __ _}
_ __ _private function startGame(e:CustomEvents):void {
_ __ __ _removeChild(menu);
_ __ __ _menu.removeEventListener(CustomEvents.LAUNCH_GAME, startGame);
_ __ __ _menu = null;
_ __ __ _game = new PongGame();
_ __ __ _addChild(game);
_ __ _}
_ _}
}

Every line including "menu" has the error. I have just ran into this when trying to add a main menu to my game. I've been encountering errors with this project all day and this is the only one so far that I haven't been able to answer myself, any help would be greatly appreciated. If any additional information I could give would help, just tell me, I am very new at this.

When I save a .less file FlashDevelop does not do anything - it does not even attempt to compile the file - it is like saving a regular text file.

Have you made any modifications to your - completion.ini file? I edited that file so that the [LESS] block looks exactly the same as the [HSS] block except for a different file extension and that still does not work.

QuickBuild Issue : [-size-report] target

info@flashdevelop.org — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 14:16:26 GMT

Hi everyone,

Firstly, please forgive my english (I'm FR )...

I discover a problem with @mxmlc argument -size-report in QuickBuild. The target file value is not a relative path of project as expected (like -link-report, -output, etc...), but seems to be relative to [FlexSDK]/frameworks/ directory ...

The same argument in Project/setting is OK.

Edit : Infos :

.NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729

Win 7 x64 SP1

It's my first post here but i use FD for 5 years, so, I'm late but : THANK YOU for everything

I thought probably in Tools -> Syntax Coloring but there is nothing corresponding to find.

Compilation works for me, but there seem to be a problem with completion - will check that.

Thanks for the feature request and bug report!

I released v1.6.0, and fixed the project closing bug and add class prefix setting.

Re: Upgraded to FD4.4.2 and AIR 3.7 and now have compile issue

info@flashdevelop.org — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 18:53:14 GMT

I was having the same problem with this.

When I removed the following from my Main.as it worked.

Code:

[Frame(factoryClass="Preloader")]

So if you don't need a preloader you are better off to get rid of it.

Re: Macros: force OutputPanel to show

Great and thank you for a nice example.

Re: Macros: force OutputPanel to show

info@flashdevelop.org — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 14:12:30 GMT

Thank you, Mika!

For those, who want to write scripts, I suggest to checkout FlashDevelop sources and install MS Visual Studio.

Script to switch to output panel:

Code:

using FlashDevelop;

public class FDScript
{
_ _ public static void Execute()
_ _ {
_ _ _ _ OutputPanel.PluginMain outputPanel = Globals.MainForm.FindPlugin("54749f71-694b-47e0-9b05-e9417f39f20d") as OutputPanel.PluginMain;
_ _ _ _ if (outputPanel != null)
_ _ _ _ {
_ _ _ _ _ _ outputPanel.OpenPanel(null, null);
_ _ _ _ }
_ _ }
}

Re: Macros: force OutputPanel to show

info@flashdevelop.org — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:06:00 GMT

OutputPanel doesn't have a event handler for this. Make a script that does the things you want for you: http://www.flashdevelop.org/wikidocs/in ... =Scripting

There is a snippet for C# called fdscript to start a new FD script.

Re: Small improvement to code completion

info@flashdevelop.org — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 09:02:42 GMT

Another small improvement would be to favor variable names over Class names. Autocomplete keeps on replacing "event" variables by "Event" which is very annoying

2,5 years later I still have a problem with java + flex. How was this issue solved ?

Multiple Projects

info@flashdevelop.org — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 15:26:04 GMT

I work as a part of a large team that develops Flex applications. When I first looked at FlashDevelop there was no debugger, so I ran away screaming. However, in one if my fits of rage as a result of being annoyed at Flash Builder I looked at your project again an noticed that it has advanced considerably since I last looked at it. So I decided to give FlashDevelop a second chance.

When was trying to get my projects set up, I was having trouble adding multiple projects to a workspace. From what I could tell, it does not look like this concept exists. Is it possible to have multiple projects? If not this is a show stopper for me. In one of my workspaces I currently have 16 Flex/Library projects. While I do not have all of these projects open at once, there are times when I am referencing or modifying multiple libraries at once and testing my changes with a test project. Is there a way to accommodate my workflow with FlashDevelop?

iOS App Failed to Install

info@flashdevelop.org — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 04:54:35 GMT

I've been browsing the internet for a solution to this issue and have found plenty of threads about the same problem, but there was either no solution found or the ones proposed didn't work.

I followed along with the tutorial linked in the iOS text file in the Air project template. Since I do not currently have an iOS device, I've been sending the IPA to a coworker to have him test it. When he attempts to load the application onto the iTouch, he gets an "app failed to install" with no further information on why it failed. Does anyone know what could cause this?

Here's what I've already done/checked:
- made sure the app ID in the apple portal matched the ID in the application.xml
- sent my co-worker the provision profiled used to create the IPA
- tried the test targets (fast test, fast debug, etc) as well as an "ad-hoc" build
- recreating the certificates

Its also worth noting that the app runs fine on my Android device, so I'm fairly certain that I've missed something in the certification process for iOS.

Thanks for you feedback, Dennis, I'll look into these errors.
