    I'm asking more because I also wanted to learn AS3 for a while since so many of my childhood was made with it But since AS3 can only be used with AIR now days and it's 16 years old, tough id give Haxe and OpenFL a try to learn more about how the coding was of some of the games i play and played
  • h
    if you read the flash docs and the openfl docs some of it is just lifted verbatim. I've never used AS3 ( or any other AS ) but I believe the correlation here would be AS3 Haxe and Flash OpenFL. I don't know how similar AS3 and Haxe are - but I've not needed that to learn Haxe so far - but OpenFL was originally based directly on Flash API as far as I know. And the doc shows it. But OpenFL has diverged in various places of course.
  • a
    I'm pretty sure OpenFL Flash ≠ OpenFL = Flash API Just so you don't accidentally confuse other begginers Because it's not like you can draw in openfl like flash
  • h
    good point
  • h
    yes OpenFL API -> Flash API
  • h
    OpenFL - Flash
  • h
    are distinct - and it's in the impl where you will see divergence most I think
  • h
    you can draw in openfl though
  • a
    Are you thinking of Drawing something on the screen? Because I mean Drawing as in Flash Professional/Animate/Paint.Net, not as drawing something on the screen
  • h
    oh - yeah not a drawing application as such - drawing apis on the graphics canvas
  • a
    Yep I meant the first, not the latter
  • r
    as I understand it, you can import the library symbols drawn with Animate into OpenFL. it's part of OpenFL's assets system, and you need to install the "swf" Haxelib.
  • a
    Do you have any idea what swflite is for?
  • a
    Does OpenFL support Stage3d or do I need the openfl-stage3d package for that?
  • h
    it has stage3d
  • h
    I don't know openfl-stage3d is though
  • h
  • r
    I think that there are a couple of different output formats that OpenFL can use for handling swf assets. swflite is one of them. I don't know much about the differences between these formats because I haven't needed to use swf assets in any of my projects yet.
  • r
    I think that there's an animate format for swf assets that's the default, and that's probably what you should try to use.
  • a
    Everything I know is that it is on haxelib
  • r
    OpenFL supports Stage 3D without any other libraries
  • r
    but maybe it didn't in the past
  • r
    that was before my time
  • a
    Yeah Was just curious I think swflite is the output of
    Copy code
    openfl process file.swf
  • a
    Wich was used before actual swf support id Guess
  • a
    I see
  • h
    can openfl render OpenGL as wireframe ? If so any idea how ? I am using Context3D and that's rendering fine well except that I think I have a geometry problem. viewing as a wireframe would help.
  • a
    I'm curious, did you need to ask The Away Foundation Team permission before porting Away3D to Haxe?
  • r
    Away3D was already under a permissive open source license, so no need to ask permission
  • a
    yeah fair
