Use link-report to make sure it got in the swf.
Use the debugger to see if it got instantiated and given the right size, position and visibility ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Elie Zananiri Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 9:44 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Using the Flex Component Kit in an ActionScript project Hello all, I am trying to use the Flex Component Kit to export some graphics drawn in Flash CS3 to an ActionScript project in Flex and I can't get it to work. Here's what I'm doing: In Flash: 1. Creating an MC symbol in Flash. 2. Giving it name="SomeName", class="SomeName", and base class="mx.flash.UIMovieClip". 3. Right-clicking on the symbol in the library and exporting it as an SWC file called "SomeNameUIMC.swc". In Flex Builder: 4. Creating a new ActionScript project with main application file "SomeOtherName.as". 5. Importing the SWC file to the library path. 6. Creating a new class called "SomeName.as" which extends "mx.flash.UIMovieClip". 7. Instancing "SomeName" in "SomeOtherName" and adding it to the canvas. Now when I run this, I don't get any compilation errors, but the display is blank. I don't think my SWC file is being linked to the class, but I don't see any info on how to do this. All the tutorials I found online are using mxmlc, so is it possible that the Component Kit only works with Flex projects? If not, does anyone have any examples working on ActionScript projects or can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for the help, -Elie
