Creating the No Tanks! game project in Flash Develop
Steps to create the No Tanks game in Flash Develop
1.
Create a folder inside the
/source/projects/notanks/
folder called
flexSDK
(if you
have not already done so).
2.
Start Flash Develop, and create a new project. Begin by selecting Flex 3 Project and
giving the project the name notanks. The location should be the
/source/projects/
notanks/flexSDK
folder and the package should be
com.efg.games.notanks
.
Do not
have Flash Develop create a project folder automatically. Make sure the Create
Folder For Project is
unchecked
.
Click the OK button to create the project.
3.
Add the class path to the framework to the project by selecting the Project
➤
Properties
➤
Classpaths menu item and clicking the Add Classpath button.
4.
Next, find the
/source
we created earlier, and select the
classes
subfolder.
5.
Click the OK button and then the Apply button.
6.
Change the size of the output and frame rate by selecting the Project
➤
Properties
➤
Classpaths menu item. Set the Frame Rate to 30, the width to 640, and the height to 500.
Here is the folder structure for the Flex SDK version (made with Flash Develop).
