Newbie's first attempt

[nassim]

Hi,

I installed locally on Windows XP and the administrator function https://localhost:8080/admin seems to work fine.

I also have the window with the message "ElectroServer has started successfully"

I installed flex_sdk_3

I also installed FlashDevelop 3.0.0 beta 9

I also installed the standalone debug version of Adobe Flash Player 10

I followed the procedure at http://es-wiki.com/index.php?title=C...nt_Environment

When I run "Test movie" for the simplest example I get the standalone flash developer starting up with a blank screen. I do not get "It worked!"

What am I doing wrong?

When I try the slightly more advanced example below this one which tries to connect to ElectroServer, I get a build error - type ConnectionEvent was not recognized.

I have global classpath of C:\flex_sdk_3
Should I add some other classpath(s) ?

Thank you

Have you set your Flash global security settings to allow socket connections from the area of your hard drive where the swf is for the test?

[nassim]

Yes. Sorry, I forgot to mention that.

Hi,

I added

C:\Program Files\ElectroServer_4_0_6\api\client\as3\src

to the Global fatstpaths and now I get the message that "It worked!"

I am very pleased although I am not sure what did work exactly!

If you are trying to compile ActionScript code that uses ElectroServer4, then the ES4 ActionScript classes have to be in the class path. Good work figuring it out yourself!

(isn't that one of the steps in that wiki tutorial you mentioned earlier?)

Thank you Teresa. You are absolutely right.

Now, I must try to understand what it is that I have accomplished. I have some books on order to try and fathom this Flash thing!
