HOWTO : developing flex with gvim

[pepinot]

Hi,

I've a problem with my FlexSDK installation on Linux Ubuntu Hardy and I don't find anything about it.

So I installed Gvim, Flex SDK and Java JRE, I wrote un little code in actionscript and then I then I launch mxmlc and then... an error. THE error.

GC Warning: Out of Memory!  Returning NIL!
mxmlc: line 47: 22014 Erreur de segmentation  java $VMARGS -jar "$FLEX_HOME/lib/mxmlc.jar" +flexlib="$FLEX_HOME/frameworks" "$@"

So I require your help.

Thanks

hey! im back! a while ago i read this tutorial and it worked great. but i wanted to learn action script to make games. i soon quit because in every tutorial i found for as, it would say something like "create a new movie clip named..." and i didnt know how to do that with code. i just recently learned how so im gonna start learning again. but when i tried to compile it using mxmlc map.as and it said i didnt have that command. then i checked to see if i had it installed still, and i do. why wont it work?

ryland@ryland-desktop:~$ cd /home/ryland/Desktop
ryland@ryland-desktop:~/Desktop$ mxmlc map.as
bash: mxmlc: command not found
ryland@ryland-desktop:~/Desktop$ cd /usr/local/flex/bin
ryland@ryland-desktop:/usr/local/flex/bin$ ls
aasdoc      adl.exe     asdoc       copylocale.exe  fdb         optimizer
aasdoc.bat  adt         asdoc.exe   digest          fdb.exe     optimizer.exe
acompc      adt.bat     compc       digest.exe      jvm.config
acompc.bat  amxmlc      compc.exe   fcsh            mxmlc
adl         amxmlc.bat  copylocale  fcsh.exe        mxmlc.exe
ryland@ryland-desktop:/usr/local/flex/bin$

I would guess it's either not in your PATH or it doesn't have executable permissions.

Firsty, executable permissions, try
$sudo chmod +x /usr/local/flex/bin/mxmlc

if that doesn't work, then open up /etc/bash.bashrc
$gksudo gedit /etc/bash.bashrc

and add
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/flex/bin

near the top.

then restart your terminal and theoretically it should work

thanx, it worked, by the way, what is bash.bashrc?

[delfick]

thanx

no probs

by the way, what is bash.bashrc?

small possibility I'm wrong, but it's a file that contains system wide configuration settings for the bash shell

I hope you can help me because I'm about to go crazy over this. I did steps 1-3 and then I get stuck:

Fourthly install the linux debugger flash player and the flashtracer extension so you can see trace statements

first, download the debugger flash player from here http://download.macromedia.com/pub/f...nux_dev.tar.gz

Simple enough...

Unpack it to the desktop,

...so far so good...

then unpack the archive found in the plugin/debugger folder,

...okay, I unpacked libflashplayer.so.tar.gz to libflashplayer.so.

and run the flashplayer-installer file

...what flashplayer-installer file? the libflashplayer.so file? Ubuntu says there is no type associated with .so files, and from what I understand, so = Shared Object which doesn't sound like an executable file and there were no other files in that path. Me confused. Delfick explain.

hmm, it seems they've changed it............

just put it in ~/.mozilla/plugins and it should work
