Compile FlashlightVNC From Sources

[Abhishek Ganguly]

Hi,

I want to play around with FlashlightVNC. Could someone help on how to compile the sources into SWF file? I have FlashDevelop on Windows. Though I can download the Flex Eclipse Plugin or Adobe Flash CSx. I am a noob on flash/flex, but can code. So anyone please...

Thanks

Hi Abhishek,

You should able to compile with Flex Eclipse Plugin.
This is what I am using.

Thanks Marco,

I succeeded in compiling and running. There is one concern, the original SWF file is about 700kb, whereas the file i compile is about 1700kb. should that be a problem? do i have to set some flags? also the latest flex sdk is 4.6 but the sources are linked to 4.1. should i download 4.1 sdk and compile through that?

thanks

Hi Abhishek,

By default, the plugin compile a debug version (with debug info, like origin code lines) much bigger than the release version.
To compile the release version, there should be an menu item in Project menu or by right-clicking on the project.

Thanks,
Marco

Hi guys, i've been looking for the 'Flex Eclipse Plugin' you mentioned before but with no much succeed :(, i thought that maybe you guys could help me with a link or maybe an explanation about how to make it out with the compiler. i'll be waiting for your answers and thank you for your time (and thanks for the awesome work with the Flashlight Marco :) it has been really useful for me).

Hi Daniel. I think Flex is close to his end of life, so IDE support is scarce. You may still be able to find some open source command line tools. I haven't touch this code in ages, so I won't even know how to compile it anymore...
