Creating the Blaster Mines game project in Flash Develop
Follow these steps to create the Blaster Mines game in Flash Develop:
1.
Create a folder inside the
/source/projects/blastermines/
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 blastermines. The location should be the
/source/projects/blastermines/flexSDK
folder, and the package should be
com.efg.games.blastermines
.
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 Class Path button.
4.
Next, find the
/source
we created earlier, and select the
classes
subfolder.
5.
Click the OK button and then the Apply button.
