i Already got as3 up and running fine with gedit and flex 4.1. Flash punk is not giving any errors, but the screen is black when it should be a set window. how might i set a window size in standard as3, i am use to FlashDevelop doing it for me.

Geany is a nice, lightweight ide-like editor.

What about FlashDevelop in wine?

@Sos Um, did you read my post, it doesnt work.

I’m using the exact same setup as you, Linux, gedit, flashpunk, etc.

Just a helpful tip though – if you’re planning on using trace to debug, make sure you have:

-the debug version of Flash Player,

-a mm.cfg file in your /home/username/ directory containing “ErrorReportingEnable=1 TraceOutputFileEnable=1” (without “s)

-and you run mxmlc with the -debug flag

Your traces should all go to ./macromedia/Flash_Player/Logs/flashlog.txt

thanks man, i usually dont use traces anymore, ill just through in some code, and if it doesnt work i go to find my mistake. But i may use them, so thanks. Also, i still dont know weather i should do a flash game, or a C++/SDL game. That will depend on the theme, im newer to C++, so yeah. Also im still debating weather to team up, instead of just hang out, with my best friend this year. Id make the engine why he worked on graphics/sound and such, and then we’d both work on the programming and level design. Then we’d have a nice game to enter into the jam.

…..that’s actually rather freaky. I’m still deciding exactly the same thing as you – literally, whether to do flash or C++/SDL, as I’m also newer to C++. And the teaming up with a friend idea and entering the jam – him doing graphics and sound and me doing programming is exactly the same too…. kinda spooky 😛

haha, id just start off the programming, he knows all of the advanced math functions and stuff, so we’d both be programming. but yes, VERY SPOOKY.
