Today I was in need of a quick alert box but realized the mx.controls.Alert is not included in the accessible packages when creating an Actionscript project.<\/p>\n

Well, after a bit of searching I found it was really quite easy. Though I imagine it bloats your app due to the component libraries added. Here it goes:<\/p>\n

1. Right click on your project>properties<\/p>\n

2. Select Actionscript> Build Path> Library Path<\/p>\n

3. Add an swc, within this box you can either browse to your respective framework folder or type the following <\/p>\n

\n
${PROJECT_FRAMEWORKS}\/libs\/framework.swc<\/span><\/code><\/div>\n

4. Repeat step 3 but with<\/p>\n

${PROJECT_FRAMEWORKS}\/locale\/{locale}<\/code><\/span><\/code><\/div>\n

Now you should be able to access things like mx.controls.Alert<\/p>\n

if ${PROJECT_FRAMEWORKS) doesn’t work you can try ${FRAMEWORKS} and that should work. Otherwise just browse to your framework folder in the sdk folder<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n::Edit::<\/span>
\nSo it looks like in theory this would have worked, except that Adobe made their swc files very dependent upon a bunch of other things so unfortunately this just gives errors.
\nI’ll be looking into it more and seeing what I can find to fix this.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
