∟smiley.as - First ActionScript 3 Example

This section provides a tutorial example on using AS3Compile to compile a simple ActionScript 3 example into a SWF Flash file.

Now let's use the example provided on the SWFTools Web site to learn how to use AS3Compile:

1. Create a text file called smiley.as with these ActionScript3 statements:

package {
   import flash.display.MovieClip
   public class Main extends MovieClip {
      function Main() {
         this.graphics.beginFill(0xcccc00)
         this.graphics.drawCircle(200,200,200)
         this.graphics.endFill()
         this.graphics.beginFill(0x000000)
         this.graphics.drawCircle(140,150,50)
         this.graphics.drawCircle(260,150,50)
         this.graphics.drawRoundRect(140,270,120,10,20)
         this.graphics.endFill()
      }
   }
}

2. Compile smiley.as file into a SWF file, smiley.swf:

C:\herong>\local\SWFTools\as3compile -X 400 -Y 400 smiley.as

3. Generate a HTML file, smiley.html, to view the SWF file:

C:\herong>\local\SWFTools\swfdump -E smiley.swf > smiley.html

4. Open smiley.html in a Web browser. You will see:

Congratulations, you have successfully compiled an ActionScript 3 source code into a SWF application with AS3Compile!
