Flash Open Source Mailinglist
Tuesday 24 May 2005 @ 5:51 pm

I started to use FAME for a while and there are so many topics and questions around this that the MTASC-list had many off topic posts.
For this purpose I set up the list Flash Open Source at yahoogroups: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flashopensource

You might say that the actionscript.com arcticle says all what you need about setting up FAME but there are many things more like the integration of SWFMill. People think about building Eclipse Plugins which work as a library and many exciting things more.
I alreay wrote a little tutorial on how to integrate the NetConnection Debugger into Eclipse.

At this point a great THANK YOU to Nicalas Cannasse from Motion Twin for his great work on the MTASC compiler! Without him we still had to make a coffee break while compiling ;)

Eclipse with NetConnection Debugger
Wednesday 18 May 2005 @ 6:32 pm

Developing with FAME (Flashout, ASDT, MTASC, Eclipse) works really nice. When I was working on a remoting application with AMFPHP I missed the NetConnection Debugger which had to run in a seperate window in a Flashplayer.
Christopher Allen from the MTASC mailinglist gave me a hint, that the PHPEclipse-plugin has an integrated Webbrowser.
After a bit of research I saw that not the complete plugin is needed for the integrated NetConnection Debugger. You only have to copy the plugin “net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.webbrowser_1.1.3″ into the Eclipse plugin directory. An overview about the PHPEclipse modules can be found here.
In Eclipse do the following: Window->Show View->Other->PHPEclipse Web Development->PHP Browser. Point the browser to the “NetConnection Debugger.swf” and that’s it.
The “NetConnection Debugger.swf” comes with the AS 1.0 Remoting Components. After installation you find the swf here: Documents & Settings\[USER]\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash MX 2004\en\Configuration\WindowsSWF.
You can also copy the “Service Browser.swf” and use it within Eclipse.
