I am trying to compile this sample program but I am brand new to Flare and ActionScript. Here is the DependencyGraph example that I am trying to compile: http://flare.prefuse.org/apps/dependency_graph.
The error I am receiving right now is:
Access of unidentified property App
Are there certain packages or project files that I will need to import or add to the source code in order to fix this?
Looks like you need to grab this class as well: http://flare.prefuse.org/src/flare.apps/src/flare/apps/App.as aside from that it looks like the imports are all coming from packages in flare and should be included in the flare swc file.
Edit Okay so starting from scratch I was able to get Flex 3.4 SDK playing nicely with the flare demos:
replace the existing library reference to bin/flare.swc with the one from the desktop. When I imported the project it had in the project properties->ActionScript Build Path I selected the bin/flare.swc entry it had and hit remove, then hit add swc and browsed for the one extracted to my desktop from the flare.zip.
Compile/Run
That all worked great with Flex 3.4 (Flare is out-dated if you haven't noticed). Upping my SDK to 4.6 I had to replace JSON (ambiguous due to a new one in the default package) with com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON. With Flex 3.4, did you see any errors relating to JSON? I don't have 3.4 on my system so I am using 3.6 right now and see many errors regarding the ambiguity of JSON. With regard to 3.4 I had no JSON errors, think the Class may have been introduced around when 3.6 was put out so that makes sense too... the issue is if you import JSON from some package but then it also has JSON in the default package, it doesn't know which one you want to use, if you use the fully qualified class name wherever you were using the shortened version it will remove the ambiguity so where you had JSON.decode just replace with com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON.decode, believe the one in the default package is the new one and doesn't match up to the old one's interface (method names) 100%.
After building with 4.6 it's a mixed bag... I see the loading bar and all the lines between dependencies but not seeing the labels themselves, my guess is something to do with the change in the font/text rendering engine between versions is making a difference though I'm not sure immediately how to resolve that. No errors compiling/running though.
Edit 2 good deal just had to add this to the font embed for it to work in 4.6 ,embedAsCFF='false'
[Embed(source="verdana.TTF", fontName="VerdanaCust",embedAsCFF='false')]
Let me know if you try out these steps and still have issues, or if this helps you resolve your problems.
