Question

I downloaded the greensock pacakge but can’t figure out how, where to add this files so that when in AS3.0 i type import com.gre… it pops-up.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

create a source directory anywhere you’d like to keep your own personal library and other 3rd party libraries. for example, i put everything in a folder /Developer on my mac:

from within Flash Professional CS5.5, select Preferences > Category: ActionScript > Language: ActionScript 3.0 Settings…

here, under Source Path, you will choose the folder on your file system that contains your source files. when this is done, code completion should work with these files.

there are other ways to choose specific source paths for specific projects, but the steps i’ve outlined above is a global approach that only needs to be done once and will insure that the source files in your chosen directory will be accessible to all projects.
