setup Flex in Linux

By no means a complete guide, just a reminder.

assumes you have ~/bin in your PATH
might wanna add it like so:
export PATH="${PATH}:~/bin"

  1. get the Flex SDK -> here
    • mkdir ~/flexSDK
    • unzip flex_sdk_2.zip -d ~/flexSDK
  2. get the content debugger version of the standalone Flash9 player for Linux -> here
    • tar xzvf flash_player_9_linux_dev.tar.gz
    • cd flash_player_9_linux_dev/standalone/debugger
    • tar xvzf flashplayer.tar.gz
    • copy the flashplayer binary to a location of choice (YMMV)

    • cp flashplayer ~/bin/
    • add a symlink named 'gflashplayer' for the debugger

    • ln -s ~/bin/flashplayer ~/bin/gflashplayer
  3. use the attached build script to compile .mxml files
