SWF9 compiler option missing from 4.7.x nightly build

[Antun Karlovac]

Hi all,

I just downloaded the 4.7.x nightly, and tried to compile to SWF9. Got
the following error:

org.openlaszlo.sc.CompilerError: Errors from compiler, output file not
created

I then noticed that the SWF9 option is missing from the compiler options
at the bottom of the page.

Is this a bug, or is SWF9 no longer a valid compile target in 4.7?

We don't build the LFC libraries for swf9 by default anymore in trunk, and recommend using  swf10 exclusively.

Do really need to generate swf9 format, or will swf10 be OK for your application ?
The compiler can still generate swf9 files, if it's important to.

Hi Henry,

Yes, I do still need to generate SWF9. The reason is that that the SWF10
player is less prevalent than the SWF9 one.

Can I take the nightly build that I downloaded and do something to it to
make the SWF9 LFC libraries appear? Or would that require a change to
the OL and a rebuild?

I think I can just send you the swf9 versions of the LFC (debug, and non debug), and it should work.

Try these ones for now, they are a couple of changes newer than the last nightly but
should work for you for development, and we can set the nightly builds to build swf9 LFC's by default again.

Put the attached files in lps/includes/lfc directory




If building from source, the "build.lfc.runtime.swf9 " option in build.properties needs to be set to true when the LPS server is built

Hey Henry and Max,

I got my code updated to SWF9 today. Dropping in the SWF9 LFCs allowed
me to run the app in the 4.7.x nightly build.

The fix that Max made to history now appears to work perfectly in SWF9! Yay!

I filed a bug to request that SWF9 be re-enabled in trunk:
http://openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-8569

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for filing the bug, Antun.
Tucker has already checked in a fix and is testing now.
