Flex Builder cannot locate the required debugger version of Flash Player

February 6, 2010 - 3:10 pm No Comments

What should you do if you get an error in Flex similar to this:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll

Flex Builder cannot locate the required debugger version of Flash Player. You might need to install the debugger version of Flash Player 9 or reinstall Flex Builder.

Do you want to try to debug with the current version?

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

November 28, 2009 - 7:58 pm No Comments

I had to wake up and leave the house by 4am to be sure to arrive at the Hotel New York by 6am. I got suited up in a blue one piece with red apron with spidey eyes on it. Then I took a bus uptown to the beginning of the parade. It was still dark out when we walked past all the balloons and floats.

We had to wait in position for an hour, but once we got started we had to walk fast and listen for the commands from the pilot. All the kids were waving and cheering. Lots of cameras in the crowd. We had our own cheer, “Spider-man, Spider-man does what ever a spider can. GO SPIDEY!!”

I waved into the camera when we got to the end of the parade at 34th Street. My girlfriend in Florida and her daughter saw me :) We rolled up the balloon and when I returned my custom I received my pin for participating in the 83rd Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

I met my boyfriend and brother and we watched the rest of the parade from 42nd where the parade turns. There were so many people it was insane. I have more pictures on my flickr account

Create Flex Actionscript Project with Flash Assets

November 14, 2009 - 10:05 pm No Comments

So you heard from someone that you should use Flex as your Actionscript editor. You want to write Actionscript without MXML. How do you bring in assets to use with your code? This tutorial will go through all the steps to do so. It is a beginner tutorial that will allow you to import assets from Flash into Flex.

Getting Flash assets into a Flex Actionscript project. It’s easier than it sounds. This is a very basic tutorial to get anyone that is already comfortable with Flash and is ready to move into Flex as their Actionscript Editor. I would love some feedback, so comment if you have any questions or suggestions how I can make this a better tutorial.

In order to save the Flash file into the correct folder you need to create the Flex Actionscript Project first. Then you will create the flash swc file to use in the Flex Actionscript Project.
