I had the same problem as Rinkuhero. I checked if what I had created was a project and it was, but for some reason i keep getting an error. What am i doing wrong? Help will be appreciated.

Make sure that the relative path from the .as file to the data folder is correct and that the file you are trying to embed exists.

An easy way to embed files is to find the file in the project tree of FD, then right click -> Insert into document.

I just formatted and installed Windows 7, and figured it'd be worth trying to get Flixel all hooked up on my new kit with the FlexSDK.

I ended up getting this in my output window at compile time:

Running process: C:\Projects\Tools\FlashDevelop\Tools\fdbuild\fdbuild.exe "C:\Projects\Flash\FlixelTest\FlixelTest\FlixelTest.as3proj" -ipc 92313676-9c51-4486-87cc-b860275f41fb -compiler "C:\Projects\Flash\FlexSDK" -library "C:\Projects\Tools\FlashDevelop\Library"

Unable to start java.exe: The system cannot find the file specified

...which I fixed by actually installing Java. I found the offline ones didn't work as well, so I found this link. After I verified and installed up to 6.16, my compile worked fine.

Just throwing this out there incase people encounter similar problems.

Thanks for the help, but i still don't quite understand. I'm pretty sure that the relative path is correct, and that the files exist, but heres what i have so far:

Hey, I'm kind of new to the whole Flash thing, so I figured I'd try this out to get started. I did everything that was said in the first post, but when I try to test it, this error pops up:

Can someone help me with this? I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing.

From the error, it sounds like it compiled but it can't find the flash player to play it back with. Try re-downloading and installing the Flash Debug player and Debug ActiveX player, double check that FlashDevelop is looking in the right place for them (it's...somewhere in the options). Also, try changing the project settings from 'Play in extrernal player' to 'play in popup'.

[overboy]

I just changed the setting to 'play in popup' and it worked fine. Thanks. 

[Titch]

You may still want to look to the origional problem. I've had some framerate issues using the popup/tabbed viewer, once my code got to decent size frame rate started to crawl. It worked FINE in browse, just not in the FlashDevelop player.

I cant get this damn thing to work  
Here's the output I get.

Can anyone tell me what this error means?

[Rybar]

your directory structure isn't quite right... copy the contents of the flixel_1.25 folder out directly under src....  so that mode.as, and the com and data folders are in the root of source, and try compiling again.

Ahhhhh, I see.

I just tried it. Works great. Thanks a lot

I've written a similar tutorial for the new github version of Flixel/Mode, available on Mode's github wiki:
http://wiki.github.com/AdamAtomic/Mode/running-mode-in-flashdevelop

Hopefully it will help those who are using the newer version, as some there are some key differences to directory structure.

[Andrey]

Spent about a hour wondering why I cannot compile Mode using github files. Then found your tutorial on how to compile it (it is exactly as I tried). But still no luck.

Are you sure your tutorial works? I think the github has Mode version which is not compatible with new Flixel. Here are the errors I'm getting:

I've written a similar tutorial for the new github version of Flixel/Mode, available on Mode's github wiki:
http://wiki.github.com/AdamAtomic/Mode/running-mode-in-flashdevelop

Hopefully it will help those who are using the newer version, as some there are some key differences to directory structure.

Strange.. there now seems to be a problem with downloading mode from your wiki page?

[Keldorn]

Help, there is no mode.as, in the Flixel package @ http://github.com/AdamAtomic/flixel
The structure of it is entirely dirrent is some aspects, is this tutorial outdated?
Its the one linked from the homepage.
What a show stopper. I wanted to see the "awesome come to life!"

I'm Useing FlashDevelop 3.0.6.

EDIT: Nevermind, I though you meant litteral the demo was in the flixel package. Darn aspergers, I always take stuff too literal. 
I'm trying out the demo now,
http://github.com/AdamAtomic/Mode

[Rybar]

The tutorial in this thread is outdated due to changes in flixel's directory structure and code.

Cai's revised tutorial works perfectly, just follow the instructions carefully:
http://wiki.github.com/AdamAtomic/Mode/running-mode-in-flashdevelop

mode is no longer packaged with the flixel source, they are maintained separately at github:
