Problem building Snes.swf from Snes.as using mxmlc -- what am I missing?

[markoflexo]

Hello!

Thanks for a very cool project!

I'm trying to compile FlashSNES and have encountered some problems:

This is what I tried:

git clone git://github.com/emcmanus/flashsnes.git
cd flashsnes/src/as3/src
mkdir cmodule
cp ../generated_as3/libSNES9x.as cmodule/
mv snes.as Snes.as
mxmlc Snes.as

And I'm getting the following error message:

.../flashsnes/src/as3/src/core/Emulator.as(44): col: 23 Error: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: CLibInit.

    private var cLoader:CLibInit;
                        ^

.../flashsnes/src/as3/src/core/Emulator.as(68): col: 18 Error: Call to a possibly undefined method CLibInit.

        cLoader = new CLibInit();
                      ^

.../flashsnes/src/as3/src/core/Emulator.as(3): col: 26 Error: Definition cmodule.libSNES9x:CLibInit could not be found.

import cmodule.libSNES9x.CLibInit;

I guess I'm missing something basic :-) What am I doing wrong?

I've now succeeded in building the the Snes.swf file using the following commands:

git clone git://github.com/emcmanus/flashsnes.git
cd flashsnes/src/as3/generated_as3/
cp libSNES9x.as libSNES9x.as.orig
cat ../src/Profiler.as libSNES9x.as.orig > libSNES9x.as
alc-on
alc-asc libSNES9x.as libSNES9x.swc
alc-off
cp libSNES9x.swc ../src/
cd ../src/
mv snes.as Snes.as
mxmlc -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true -library-path+=libSNES9x.swc -output=Snes.swf -swf-version=10 Snes.as

However, the resulting Snes.swf file is only 965 kb compared to the 1097 kb Snes.swf (https://s3.amazonaws.com/flashsnes/Snes.swf).

Furthermore, the Snes.swf I compiled myself does only give a blank black screen when being run whereas the Snes.swf on S3 loads the game.

I'm probably doing something wrong but I don't know why. Any clues? :-)

im also having this problem as you do. all i really want to do is change the controlls setup. then the emulator would be fine.

but i get same black screen as you do with no game running. if anyone has figured how to make this work right . then please do help me.

alc-asc Command not found....

I'm having the same problem, I believe libSNES9x.as has errors or missing something that's why it's not working after building the project.
