Class not found : openfl.display.Bitmap

[Gerson Montenegro]

Hi.

I'm a AS3 programmer, but I'm new in Haxe on Ubuntu 15.04. Recently I try differents ways to compile an SWF from a simple piece of code like this:

package;

import openfl.display.Bitmap;
import openfl.display.BitmapData;
import openfl.display.Sprite;
import openfl.Assets;

class Main extends Sprite{


public function new () {

super ();

var bitmap = new Bitmap (Assets.getBitmapData ("Assets/openfl.png"));
addChild (bitmap);

bitmap.x = (stage.stageWidth - bitmap.width) / 2;
bitmap.y = (stage.stageHeight - bitmap.height) / 2;

}
}

I tried to write code in some editors, but until now, the best option is SublimeText...anyway, the problem it's that I still cannot compile a SWF file.

I'm fine if I can do it at least from console using haxe command, but that's doesn't work. I'm using

haxe -main Main -swf test.swf

...but I get the error:

Main.hx:4: characters 7-28 : Class not found : openfl.display.Bitmap

I have installed OpenFL, and thats right because when I write 'openfl' in console, that show:

OpenFL Command-Line Tools (3.1.0-LOMZel)
Use openfl setup to configure platforms or openfl help for more commands
Use -Dv2 or -Dlegacy with your commands to use OpenFL 2.x legacy mode

I don't know what else to do. Any idea?

thanks

You can't just compile with haxe without linking to OpenFL (if you expect the Flash libraries).

Take a look at:

To compile that you need a command: lime test flash

Instead of `test` you can use:

clean -- Remove the target build directory if it exists
update -- Copy assets for the specified project/target
build -- Compile and package for the specified project/target
run -- Install and run for the specified project/target
test -- Update, build and run in one command
rebuild -- Recompile native binaries for libraries

Just type `lime help` to get a full list of commands.

One last tip: currently lime will build everything with Next version, it's newer but some features are still missing. Currently, I personally recommend to use this command: lime test flash -Dlegacy

The -Dlegacy flag will build with an older version of lime but it's more stable.
