I have tried snowfall and a few others and they all compile with errors. The libraries are definitely in the path. some of the errors come up with velx or vely.

I have cut and pasted code directly from the various sources but no changes.

The only demo that I could get to compile with no errors was StarFountain from the London Slide Show but it does nothing after the compile.

Any help would be appreciated.

What version of Flint are you using? What are the error messages? ]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=45&Focus=236#Comment_236 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=45&Focus=236#Comment_236 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 14:25:56 +0100 chien

The following is from snowfall:

ScaleInit.as, line 122 1119: Access of possibly undefined property scale through a reference with static type Particle. particle.scale = -min;
ScaleInit.as, line 126 1119: Access of possibly undefined property scale through a reference with static type Particle. particle.scale = _min + Math.random() * ( _max - _min );

Thanks,

I can't even guess at why you're getting this error. Flint's Particle class has a scale property (do take a look and check, just in case you accidentally deleted it).

Try simplifying the code and see what happens (e.g. remove the line that creates a ScaleInit).

Or try just creating a particle and setting its scale property -

import org.flintparticles.particles.Particle;
var p:Particle = new Particle();
p.scale = 2;
You won't see anything but the objective is to find the simplest bit of code that causes the error, and thus narrow down the possible causes.

It's probably a totally unexpected mistake so there's not a lot of advice I can give without sitting at your computer. All this assumes, of course, that you are trying the examples with no modifications at all.

Debugging these sort of errors is a painstaking, and ultimately boring, task of narrowing down the possible causes until there's only one left, however unlikely that cause might be. ]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=45&Focus=238#Comment_238 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=45&Focus=238#Comment_238 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 15:39:40 +0100 chien
I will attempt to do as you suggest. However I believe this is a more universal problem with either me or the environment.

I have been able to get snowfall to work without using the document class and as an untitled document. However when I save the working fla and then try to run it again it does not compile giving errors such as:
5001: The name of package 'org.flintparticles.initializers' does not reflect the location of this file. Please change the package definition's name inside this file, or move the file.

import org.flintparticles.emitters.Emitter;
var emitter:Emitter = new Emitter();

creates:

ParticleCreator.as, Line 78 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method initialize through a reference with static type Particle. particle.initialize();

I continued to have various probs with other examples so I downloaded the entire current builds from the trunk. That cured all problems that I have encountered thus far.

Thanks,
