project_2 - Weekend2

sooo.. at first: When talking about embedding flashmovies -forget nearly everything you find in Forums or even StackOverflow about the AS3 embed tag. Flex depreceated it ages ago and since then it only works via ByteArrays and a LoaderEvent. That book helped me to finally diggin through that fact - i was able to jump over some stones. Fixed;
:: loader (part one and two) up and working as they should with external loaded SWF-Animations.
:: the startscreen teaser works - also with scripted external Animations.
:: the status indikator , login and register Panels also show up. - textfield managing needs work.
-> (Add) Next Weekend plans: use a Singleton to dynamically load all SWFs in a Folder. Change the static asset scripts to instanciate that class. Goodie: try to dynamixally define the asset class properties using the singleton.
At the Moment i do like my sightseeing-round-Trip travel through Actionscripts World. It has good Docs and a nice,logical Structure. We will see how far i will get just with that hahaha:) Btw : im using another great Scintilla based IDE: FlashDevelop - with FlexSDK4.6 - and raised java.args=-Xmx1024m in jvm.config.
Sunday.. Chilled for nearly the whole day. then downloaded ApacheFlex 4.16.0 .Hmm. Seems the guys at apache didnt notice Adobe's switch to https. So, as by now (3.Juni.2018) both the Airbased and the cmdline installer fails. A quick Solution to the Situation:
-> Use the ant based installer once - and after that - find and comment the following statement in "installer.xml"
"<get src="${xml.properties}" dest="${basedir}/sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml"> "
-> within sdk-installer-config-4.0.xml - replace http://airdownload.adobe.com with https://airdownload.adobe.com
-> ... same for https://sourceforge.net/ within en_US.properties.
-> restart the installer, (ant -f installer.xml -Dair.sdk.version=2.6)
-> youll also need tools.jar (osdn.net)</get>
