Simple pet (ActionScript tutorial)

This tutorial uses AS3 to build an pet for Whirled.

Prerequisites

 * 1) Setting up your programming environment

Set Up Your New Pet
To create a new pet, change to the whirled directory and run the ant newpet task:

% cd whirled % ant newpet

Windows users can double click the newproject.bat file instead of using the command line.

If this is the first time you are using the SDK, it will ask you to configure the directory of your Flex SDK and your Flash Standalone Player. A dialog box will pop up allowing you to specify that information and then you will proceed to creating your new project.

XXX$ ant newpet Buildfile: build.xml

prepare-flex: [copy] Copying 1 file to /WhirledSDKs/0.34/whirled/etc [copy] Copying 1 file to /WhirledSDKs/0.34/whirled/etc
