FLA files?

[Kent Loobey]

I am new to ActionScript.

When I do a Google search for ActionScript 2.0 examples I often find work that
people have put out as examples that are example.fla.  Is there a way to
extract the ActionScript code from these files?

Thanks.

you open the fla with a program called Flash, and is made by Adobe.

I did a search for a Adobe Flash program for Linux and the only hits I get are
for a player.  I don't see how that would let me see the ActionScript inside
the fla file.  Are you saying that it will?

Download the Windows of Flash from the Adobe site (trail version) and install it on Linux using Wine.

If you're trying to do ActionScript development on Linux, you may want
to check out Sprouts:

http://www.projectsprouts.org

This won't really help you extract source code from examples, but it
will simplify getting started with ActionScript development tools and
build processes.


Good Luck,

there was a flash 4 for linux wich worked like hell, but we are now at flash 9 so i don't think you'll find any fla wich can be opened. my advice is to learn from complete tutorials and use haXe

I am running Kubuntu 8.04.  I am trying to install sprout on it and so far
things aren't going well.  Is there a sprout listserve?

Flash CS3 won't run under wine.

Flash 8 will run, though. Google for it and will find some tutorials.

I recommend setting up a VM with OpenBox or VMWare Workstation and install XP on it, at least while Adobe doesn't release native versions of its main tools for Linux OSes.

While I will run XP in a VM, I won't, ever, run Windows as my primary OS again.

A quick correction, OpenBox is a WM not a Virtualization software, sorry. I mean to say VirtualBox :)

I would push pretty hard against using Flash Authoring unless you're
making linear, animated art - like Sourth Park episodes.

If you're planning on building interactive rich clients and unable to
publish to the Flash 9 Player, you'll definitely want to get MTASC and
SWFMill going instead.

Ideally though, you'd be better off moving to Haxe or ActionScript 3 -
either of which can publish to the much faster Flash 9 Player.
