flashdevelop not compiling correctly

Question

When I try to compile my application in flash develop. it wont compile. even if I put a simple trace in the Main class. Nothing happen. the sdk is in the correct place.

Answer 1

do you have it linked to the compiler correctly? There is a chance that upgrading the compiler or FD could have changed the setting.

Also you could try compiling through the Flash IDE. As a test or a solution.

Answer 2

You can try a few different things. But make sure for these tests that you have a trace in your main constructor.

First, go to your project settings (Project > Properties). On the Output tab un-check "no output", and select "Play in popup" in the "Test Movie" drop down menu. Then test your application (F5).

Take not of a few things; What appears in the output panel (if you don't have it open, go to View > Output Panel). Does it show something like this?

/*
Running process: C:\Program Files\FlashDevelop\Tools\fdbuild\fdbuild.exe ...

mxmlc -load-config+=obj\ProjectNameConfig.xml -debug=true ...

[Capturing traces with FDB]
*/

Are you missing any of the above lines in your output panel while testing you application?

If you don't see any of this in your output, or your own trace, then create a new test project, add a trace, and try again.
