Create a main class file that extends from DisplayObject. If you need to compile a Flash project as opposed to Flex you can add a reference to the Flash library as follows you'll need to have the Adobe Animate IDE installed :. With no cost, it's a very popular way to get started developing with AS3. If the AppMan doesn't open automatically, or you want to add something later, open it by choosing 'Install Software' on the 'Tools' menu.

Click the install button. Once the SDK is installed, let's test is by creating a hello world project. Start by creating a new project from the Project menu. The acompc command invokes the standard Flex compc component compiler, but loads its configuration options from the air-config. Use a local configuration file to avoid typing and perhaps incorrectly typing the source path and class names on the command line.

Add the -load-config option to the acompc command line to load the local configuration file. The following example illustrates a configuration for building a library with two classes, ParticleManager and Particle, both in the package: com. To compile the library using the configuration file, named ParticleLib-config.

Type the entire command on one line, or use the line continuation character for your command shell. These examples assume that you are using a configuration file named myLib-config.

Flex compilers. Adobe AIR. View Help PDF 5. ActionScript compilers. About the AIR command-line tools in the Flex SDK Each of the command-line tools you use to create an Adobe AIR application calls the corresponding tool used to build applications: amxmlc calls mxmlc to compile application classes acompc calls compc to compile library and component classes aasdoc calls asdoc to generate documentation files from source code comments The only difference between the Flex and the AIR versions of the utilities is that the AIR versions load the configuration options from the air-config.

Compiler setup You typically specify compilation options both on the command line and with one or more configuration files. Typically, these libraries are referenced in a project-level configuration file, in a file for a build tool such as Ant, or directly on the command line. Now, to compile the application, you only have to type: amxmlc RunningMan.

The acompc component compiler behaves like the amxmlc compiler, with the following exceptions: You must specify which classes within the code base to include in the library or component.
