Hello,

I am very glad this forum exists and the great Sandy-Library.
I found it by googeling for how to show 3d content with flash.

I made experiences by using VRML, so I know how to create and export *.wrl files with
3ds Max. Now I am interested in testing the possibility of parsing wrl with sandy.

I downloaded the demo-files-set for this, and just played the "WrlTest.swf".
But when I open the downloaded fla with flash and then try to see a preview, I have a lot of
compiling errors. but it should be the fla of the same file.

Can anybody give me any advice?

How must I create the directories and subdirectories of all the files (and there are many)?
Do I have to adjust any paths (some of the errors say that something isn't found),
and where can I do that? The compiler just says it couldn't load ... to everything.
Or do I have the wrong version of flash? I have flash 8, but I cannot export to actionscript3,
only actionscript1 and actionscript2. I really do not know how to set the paths.

Or am I wrong and this demo is not to use with flash to do any changes? Can I only change the
target *Wrl-file?

Hello again,

sorry for posting above.
I think the problem is I do not have the right paths for the many classes.
But I do not know how they are to be set, even in the "petit labs" I couldn't find an answer. I think I must leave the hope of using sandy and look for something else, my version of flash seems to not support this. I only can change the Target wrl file and remane it to "2cubes.wrl", this works.

Thank you very much.

Hi and welcome,
Give a try to the search tool of the forum, I'm pretty sure you'll find the answer

If not, I'll take time later to explain this

Hello,

thank you for your advice.
I tried using the "search" function with keywords like "classes paths", but it doesn't
work on my computer:

"an error occured..."

I will try to look at the search-function tomorrow
when I can go to a friend and try to search on his
computer.

And I did not ever work with "classes", I never needed something like that.


Thank you for your advice.

That's a bit strange. In the primitives part of my tutorial, I do my best to explain how to set parts to Flash class libraies. I'm using Flash 8 myself, so it should be the same for you.

In short:
Don't forget to download the pixlib libraies, that ar not included in the Sandy distribution!
Also you must unpack the libraries ( zip file ) with all subdirectories intact.

You may place the sandy and pixlib directories where you like.
Say that you place them in E:\flashlibs

This is the structure they must have.

E:\flashlibs\sandy\
E:\flashlibs\com\bourre\

Then you must tell the Flash IDE ( or authoring tool ) where the new libraries are.
1. Go to Edit/Preferences, click on the button "Actionscript 2.0 Settings".
This brings up a dialog with the search paths to AS libraries.
2. Click the + sign and enter E:\flashlibs

You have to keep the paths you already have, of course!

Good luck and don't give up!

Hello,

Here is my problem :this is my best error numbers 3 !!!
I did all you tell us ...pixlibs ....
I can't make the first cube working !!!
thanks for any help...
perhaps these exemples are not working with sandy 1.1


**Erreur** D:\flashlibs\sandy\view\ClipScreen.as: Ligne 102 : La méthode nommée 'updateScreen' n'existe pas.

Hi,
are you sure to use sandy 1.1 and not 1.2 ?

Je pense que tu utilises les betas de la 1.2 qui ne sont pas compatibles avec cet exemple, mais cependant rien de bien sorcier à changer.

I'm having the exact same problem. I have the package set up in

C:\Macromedia\flash8\libraries

and in that I have the pixlib package com, and also sandy

C:\Macromedia\flash8\libraries\com\*
C:\Macromedia\flash8\libraries\sandy\*

But when I try to run examples, I get the errors

**Error** C:\Macromedia\flash8\libraries\sandy\view\ClipScreen.as: Line 102: There is no method with the name 'updateScreen'.
_c.updateScreen();

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 25: Type mismatch.
var cam:Camera3D = new Camera3D( 700, screen );

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 32: There is no method with the name 'addCamera'.
world.addCamera( cam );


as if there are problems with the classes themselves, but I'm sure that's not true, as it works for most people. I've tried it with versions 1.1 & 1.2, and I'm getting desperate. Any ideas?

You certainly use a 1.2 BETA 2 library and try to compile a tutorial based on 1.1

You should look at the examples provided with the 1.2 BETA, and see what have changed as the Petit's post explains too

Come back if you still have some problem for sure

Like Petit and kiroukou have said, you seem to be using 1.2.
If you get rid of the Clipscreen and change



to something like:




and change



to



it should work fine. You may want to delete the ASO files just in case.

Hi,
i tried 1.1 and 1.2 but always get Errors.

If I try the Create your first box with Sandy-Example (1.1) I get the Error

If you compile and run the "Create your first box with Sandy" example from the Wiki, using Sandy version 1.1 it should work.
I just did that.

If it doesn't it may be because you experimented with different versions.
Your errors indicate inconsistencies within the libraries, that doesn't exist.

What you should do, is to make sure that you don't have only version 1.1 in the global class path.
Then, if you use the Flash tool, you should delete ASO files, which are compiled and cached classes from earlier compilations. In Flash 8 you do this under control/Delete ASO files ..."

The example doesn't work in version 1.2

You can find more examples written for Sandy 1.1 here.
