@sascha-west said in HaxeFlixel coding Language:

If I use HaxeFlixel can I use Javascript?

No, you will have to use Haxe (https://haxe.org/).

@ttt It's not, Neko is a virtual machine and it runs much slower than native HXCPP builds. It's most commonly used during development because it's quick to compile / test with, but for releases, people normally use HXCPP builds for the better performance.

Also note that you can just run lime test neko instead of lime test windows -neko.

@mobandon Ah, I see. That's probably because OpenFL's API docs are based on the ActionScript 3 / Flash API, where MP3 was the only supported audio format I think.

@mobandon I'm confused, didn't you say it wasn't working for ogg files / native? Or did you manage to solve that?

Check out FlxBasePreloader, which can be extended to be customized. However, we currently skip the preloader on non-web targets:

@gig said in Problems setting up the environment to compile to Windows:

but I didn't succeed.

That's .. quite vague. :D What exactly was the problem / what have you tried? Did you get an error during compilation? What library versions do you have?

@mobandon I would expect Sound.fromFile() to work, what issues are you having exactly, and what OpenFL version are you using?

@antwgames Seems to be up and running again!

The OpenFL asset system / openfl.Assets indeed only works for assets included at compile time. This is to allow for consistent code across targets that do have file system access and those that don't. Also, there's an option to embed assets.

What you're looking for are the following methods:

• sys.io.File.getContent() - https://api.haxe.org/sys/io/File.html#getContent
• openfl.display.BitmapData.fromFile() - http://api.openfl.org/openfl/display/BitmapData.html?#fromFile

Thanks for the heads-up - I've let the website's maintainer know. :)
