Redtamarin - AS3 on the command line
From
redtamarin project page:
Quote:
Simply put, redtamarin is based on the Tamarin project (eg. the Flash Player Virtual Machine)
and allow to run AS3 code on the command-line.
But because Tamarin only support the AS3 builtins (Object, Array, etc.),
redtamarin add numerous native functionalities, so you can test if your program
run under Windows or Linux, or read/write files, or send data with sockets, etc.
Put another way, if Adobe AIR allow you to build desktop executable with a GUI,
redtamarin allow you to build desktop executable with a CLI.
-
download redtamarin SDK for WIN and unzip somewhere you'll remember,
-
download RedTamarin Project template and unzip in FlashDevelop\Projects
- (recommended) manually edit the path to the SDK in the following template files:
build.bat.template,
package.bat.template,
Project.as3proj (XML),
- (recommended) follow
@zwetan on twitter to be notified about SDK updates.
Getting started:- start FlashDevelop and create a new AS3 RedTamarin project,
- note that
lib/redtamarin.swc provides code completion (
latest SWC version here),
- see how you must (manually) include all the classes to be compiled in:
program.as,
- go read about
Tamarin core API and
redtamarin extensions,
Coding:- now open your main class (named after the project) to start coding,
- build/test as usual using F8/F5/Ctrl+Enter,
- publish the EXE console application by running
package.bat,
- and have fun, obviously.
