Release 0.8.3, FDT and the Demo Site
A user recently had a compilation issue on FDT; see here for the thread on Github. There was a stray dependency in the as3-navigator library which we took the opportunity to cleanup, as well as updating the AssetLoader to the latest version, 2.3.4.
The fix worked out, and so the latest BirdBase is actually available within the demo site, rather than on the BirdBase repo. We’ll get around to checking the core code and ensuring it really is a proper release before we update the main repo.
This means that the demo site should compile cleanly on Flash Builder, FDT and with Sprouts/Rake. Thanks to Alistair Colling for reporting the issue.
Downloaded BirdBase demo from GitHub, has few of issues:
• seems the ‘resources’ directory is missing from bin-debug and can’t load configuration.yml
• seems we need to ‘search for fonts’ – for demo possibly use generic fonts like Arial?
• Use trace or Monster Debugger instead of Trazzle? (I am a Mac user, but you’re not helping Windows users)
• FDT shows error in SWF Address source, maybe sway for library SWC?
Could you possibly recheck & resubmit an up-to-date version to GitHub?
Yeah, pretty reasonable set of issues. We threw the demo together at great speed and it shows.
Trazzle-wise – we’re using Logmeister under the hood which supports Monster and Trace: https://github.com/FrancisVarga/LogMeister
(We are not unfriendly to Windows developers, we just don’t have any Windows boxes to test on
SWFAddress issue? Interesting. Could you open an issue on Github with the full errors?
