When I try to build my project, I got this error:

I have tried to build NyanCat, it worked, but kindly notice that my project complied successfully (with openfl 3.6.1 )before upgrading openfl to version 4

I am not using new SWF, and I have haxe 3.2.1
using -verbose to compile, check this [gist] (https://gist.github.com/hopewise/a34828a7d668c7efce5bbd3fcaf18ef2) for full details.

Kindly advice

Trying to run some code for embedding a video to see if I can play it seamlessly and getting problems also.

From here Showing videos in OpenFl

line that triggers it is :slight_smile:
// using appendByte, you can play a video embeded as an asset
ns.appendBytes();

src/i/m/a/Main.hx:56: characters 16-32 : Not enough arguments, expected bytes:openfl.utils.ByteArray

May just not be related but found this really odd.

#3

Are you using new format.SWF directly? That will break on the Flash target

#4

I am using methods like:

var clip = Assets.getMovieClip ("swf-library:MySymbolClass");

and

var clip = new MySymbolClass ();
p.s: does this what you mean by using `new format.SWF` directly?

I include swfs as:

<library path="assets/led.swf" preload="true" generate="true"/>
<library path="assets/library.swf" preload="true" generate="true"/>
#5

What happens if you set type="swflite" on your <library /> tags?

#6

kindly check result here

#7

Is there any update? I am trying to compile, but with openFL 3.6.1, I think I will be fine there, although I am away behind :pensive:

The question is, what lime/swf version is compatible with openfl 3.6.1?
I tried lime 2.9.1, and lime 3.0.0, but I got the same error:

Error: load.c(357) : Primitive not found : lime@lime_zlib_decompress(1)
#8

SWFLite works here with the latest everything – I don’t know why format.swf.utils.BitArray is getting imported in your project. I just made some fixes to help allow Flash to compile in case this is accidentally imported, but the format.swf classes are not intended for use on Flash

https://github.com/openfl/swf/commit/d69c140cd003e7e041bf4cfcf6a90ac0f6e7299d

#9

Thanks for clarification, the fix has worked :slight_smile: , now I have to deal with openfl.display.Tilesheet is there a way to include this class in openFL 4 ? maybe external library?

#10

You can move from Tilesheet to Tileset easily, but replacing drawTiles would require someone to port code to an OpenGLView or equivalent class.
