New Published .swf
« on: February 19, 2009, 11:32:01 pm »
I have uploaded a new test site to show what is happening when I change nothing inside flash file of megazine.fla but publish.

I do not understand why, when I changed nothing: it does not work. If I can not publish a new file without making changes, I know for sure I will not be able to publish with making changes to customize.

If there is no error message I really can't help you there, sorry. Just redownloaded it to make sure it works, and it does...

Even though it shouldn't be possible to open the FLA otherwise, but you do have Flash CS3 or higher, right? If not you cannot compile AS3 fla files with the IDE. Have a look at the FlashDevelop forums for an alternative way of compiling .as files.
For the Snark was a Boojum, you see.

I downloaded older versions and it had same directory structure. So I do think it is me, the user, but I just dont understand what I am doing wrong.

I was able to edit the interface flash file and publish it fine. I am new to AS3 and I guess am not getting all the components...Will keep playing with. Thank you. I know I ask a lot of questions.

I am curious to a workflow sheet: Like if you make change to thisfile.as you have to re-publish interface.fla to see results. ect....I think I would understand components better this way. I see which was linked. For exaple the interface.fla had the de.mighty files so I would guess if I made change to zoomcontainer.as I have to republish interface.fla..only that did no reflect changes..so I am back to as user issue clearly.

Only three files require you to recompile the interface.fla/.swf: LibrarySWF, ILibrarySWF, IMegaZine.
LibrarySWF is exclusively for the interface.fla.

If you change any other file (including ILibrarySWF and IMegaZine) you need to recompile megazine.fla/.swf.

Exception to the rule: if you change the interaction between the rest of the code and a class loaded directly from the library (Library.getInstanceOf) you'll have to make sure the element in the library supports said change, and then recompile the interface.fla. I.e. if you try to access an additional textfield somewhere, you'll have to add that textfield and recompile.
