As it's warmup time in Ludum Dare, I thought I'd make sure the Flex SDK I'd just downloaded works. Short answer: it doesn’t.

Every time I try to run 

./mxmlc -compiler.source-path=../../../Flixel/org/flixel ../../../Flash/FindTheLight/src/FindTheLight.as

I get:

Config in /Users/jonatannoponen/Developer/Tools/flex_sdk_4.6/frameworks/flex-config.xml loading
/Users/jonatannoponen/Developer/Flash/FindTheLight/src/FindTheLight.as(7): sar.: 36 Error: Baseclass FlxGame definition not found.

public class FindTheLight extends FlxGame
                                  ^`

  • Flixel is a Flash Library independent of Flex. It sounds like you didn't put the Flixel library in your library path: http://flixel.org/ . This doesn't mean the Flex SDK doesn't work, though. – JeffryHouser Apr 21 '13 at 18:12
  • @www.Flextras.com I tried putting flixel in `-source-path` and in `-library-path`, and I'm still getting the same error. – jonatan Apr 25 '13 at 16:11

Obviously, SDK can't find the FlxGame class. Where does your FlxGame.as located? Also, don't you think that using an IDE (FlashDevelop, for example) can solve your problem? Just curious.

  • An IDE certainly makes the development easier; but It will still negate the need to add the external library to the library path; which is what I believe is the issue here. – JeffryHouser Apr 21 '13 at 18:14
  • I don't think the word "negate" means what you think it means, unless you mean that it *won't* negate the need. – Amy Blankenship Apr 21 '13 at 19:14
  • My typo; that should have been "...it still won't negate the need..." – JeffryHouser Apr 21 '13 at 20:04
  • @amdc FlxGame.as is in `../../../Flixel/org/flixel`. FlashDevelop is Windows only, I have MacOS. I have used Flash Builder, but my trial expired. – jonatan Apr 25 '13 at 16:10
