  Ok, for anyone running into a similar issue in the future:

  TL;DR: Use animation.addByPrefix, and make sure your animation frames are separate regions within the packed png (walk-01, walk-02, etc).

  I gave up on trying to use animation.frameName for this, no matter what I do I cannot get the correct region to load in. The only method that I could get to work with fromLibGdx was animation.addByPrefix.

  In my existing game each region within the packed image is a spritesheet, rather than an individual fram and the game adjusts the frameHeight / frameWidth of the sprite for the animation, unfortunately this method doesn't work now since addByPrefix adds an entire region as a frame so I am exporting all of my animations as individual frames to be packed by texturepacker.

  also, the Type not found : ApplicationMain error in flash develop happens after you clean the project and then try to build it without restarting flash develop. another error of that type might also happen using the vs ide.

  Oh. Maybe you can use _playerCar.makeGraphic(100, 50, 0x0); to create a transparent rectangle, then draw on it with FlxSpriteUtil.drawRect(_playerCar, 0, 0, 50, 20, 0xFFFFFFFF); and other stuff you want to draw. Just make the makeGraphic() the size that you want to draw on.

  Sprites blurring colors between frames

  I tried that and it still looked the same. I imagine the reason is the game is made for 1920x1080 while my monitor is 1440x900 so its probably blurring more than just a single row from the next frame. I want the game to work on multiple mobile resolutions so that is not really a solution to just keep trying until somethings works on my desktop screen.

  I also tried messing around with FlxAtlas and that still looked the same. Eventually I just gave up and now I am using multiple PNG files for each button frame. That is a lot more work but at least it doesn't look bad..

  this is not tested on html5 but tends to remove image artifacts by scaling the resolution slightly. perhaps it also fixes blurriness. FlxG.scaleMode = new RelativeScaleMode(0.99, 0.99);. this might also work. FlxG.camera.pixelPerfectRender = true;.

  Other than the default HaxeFlixel logo and boot sound, I don't think so.

  If you need to do placeholder stuff though, you could use makeGraphic(); where you would normally do loadGraphic(); in your FlxSprite to make a simple rectangle.

  And for sounds I like to use http://sfbgames.com/chiptone/ for some basic SFX

  No, that's currently not possible (without modifying flixel-tools sources).

  Hi!

  The reasons are many, you can check the open issues to see the details, as posted by @Agustín-Pérez-Fernández :

  There are a lot of issues open about this. I hope it gets fixed with the transition to openfl 5.

  I tried the fixes and everything to make it work on CPP. While it did, the screenshots looked bad, really bad

  While I haven't found an answer to this yet, I have found something that might be the solution when they finish it: https://twitter.com/as3gamegears/status/1030438524846268416

  Basically an editor for Haxeflixel, read the replies for a bit more info on what it might become.

  Cool thanks. Upgrading fixed it, other than giving me new fun issues with Neko I didn't have prior. That also doesn't really explain why it worked right up until it suddenly stopped working; it also doesn't really explain why now Neko has issues it did not before.

  Thanks to everyone on the forum for helping me.

  Unfortunately, I think I'm going to stop trying with this. I keep running into issues and can't tell if it's the IDE, not having installed something correctly despite receiving no errors when installing, or syntax errors. Syntax errors I can at least eventually puzzle out, but the other two are pretty exhausting, and every day has felt like I'm fighting to get anything done.

  I get there are growing pains with any new environment, but I'm just tired. I want to be spending the little time off I have actually making my game. You guys have some sweet documentation and when things work, it's a pretty sweet set of libraries.

  Drawing arbitrary pixels to FlxSprite

  stamp() seems to work quite well, in fact! For reference, I modified my code to look like:

  class PlayState extends FlxState { var canvas:FlxSprite; var totalTime:Int = 0; override public function create():Void { super.create(); canvas = new FlxSprite(); canvas.makeGraphic(128, 128, FlxColor.WHITE, true); add(canvas); } override public function update(elapsed:Float):Void { super.update(elapsed); totalTime += 1; var brush = new FlxSprite().makeGraphic(2, 2, 0xFFFF0000); canvas.stamp(brush, totalTime % 128, Std.int(totalTime / 128)); } }

  ...and it behaves as I expected.

  I think that the line totalTime += 1, despite being a terrible naming job on my part, allowed for the red line to cover the square quickly (as opposed to totalTime += elapsed).

  Is stamp() plus a brush an appropriate (efficient) solution even when drawing pixels based on user input, such as with a mouse click/drag or touchscreen? I think that I overlooked that function before because it seemed to be intended for copying entire sprites.

  Thank you so much for your quick and detailed response!

  I am glad i could help.

  here is something to remember. I am not sure if this applies to the newer version of haxeflixel, a class name such as Reg will not give an error but will not give the correct result either when written RegReg.variable. so be careful with that. took me weeks to find that bug. :)

  @nullstack oh! I check the source code on GitHub and found the solution, and....it works!!! the solution is:

  after the if(_up||_down||_left||_right) statement add this:

  else if(animation.curAnim!=null) { animation.curAnim.curFrame = 0; animation.curAnim.pause(); }
