AIR package added to as3corelib library

with 9 comments

We have been discussing the need for an AIR specific version of the as3corelib library, which would contain useful APIs for working with Adobe AIR. However, instead of creating a new library, I have added an AIR package to as3corelib which will contain AIR specific APIs.

Right now, there is only one class added, a FileTarget for the Flex Log framework, but I expect we will be adding more over time.

If you have any suggestions, post them in the comments.

  2. Mike, it looks like the FileTarget gives a compile time error:

    1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: File. as3corelib/src/com/adobe/air/logging FileTarget.as line 53 1219534625038 2585

    Any thoughts on how to fix? I really need to use the library on a project I’m working on.

    Bryan, you are getting that error because you are trying to compile a class that requires AIR APIs (File) in a Flash Player project.

    Just dont compile in anything in the air/ directories, and you will be fine.

  4. I added the AIR libraries in the compile options and that cleared it right up. Thanks.

    Jason, the project is only available through SVN, so on “http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib/” click on the “source” tab and checkout the project.

  7. hi mike — i’m hoping to log to the file system (via FileTarget) from a release build, but I can only get file output from inside flexbuilder… is this intended behavior or am i doing something wrong? thnx

    That should work. Is the release running in Adobe AIR? i.e. not in the browser?
