10 April ASProject

Posted by Tim on in OS X, Ruby on Rails

Just checked ASProject.

AsProject is a tool set that dramatically simplifies the process of creating, sharing and growing a new ActionScript project

Installing is easy if you have Ruby/Gem installed:

gem install asproject
asproject MyProjectName
cd MyProjectName/project
rake

And presto!

Now run a unit-test:
rake test

Here’s a video demo.

Update:
found some issues with version 0.1.90 on win32:

  1. Need to change ‘mxmlc’ to ‘mxmlc.exe’ in mxmlc.rb#36 (located under /ruby/lib/ruby/gems/asproject/templates/ dir)
  2. Using as3 the default skin (a jpg) is corrupted, need to copy also from /templates to the project’s asset folder. I bet it’s some fopen using “r” (read) instead of “rb” (read binary) switch or something related.

    Hey – thanks for the writeup!

    You’re correct about the ‘rb’ flag, that’s exactly the problem.

    We’ll get those bug fixes in there for the next release (which should be coming shortly).
