OrganiseRedtamarinProject
When you work on Flash or AIR projects you can have many different workflow, many ways of doing things.
Here I present and explain one workflow that "works for me".
Warning
If you approach a Redtamarin project as something where you just need to click on a button inside an IDE, so everything is done automatically for you, you will probably get frustrated to not say enter a "world of hurt".
Prerequisites
- know how to set environment variables on your operating system
see Wikipedia Environment variable - be familiar with the command-line on your operating system
eg. know how to open a prompt / console/ terminal and enter commands into it
see Wikipedia System console
see Wikipedia Command-line interface - have the Redtamarin SDK installed
If you don't know or are not comfortable with the command-line here some links
The Command Line Crash Course
This book is a quick super fast course in using the command line.
It is intended to be done rapidly in about a day or two, and not meant to teach you advanced shell usage.
A Command Line Primer for Beginners
This article is meant for people who are either new to the command line or only have a couple of command-line tricks up their sleeve.
A Beginners Guide To The Windows Command Line
How to use the Window command line (DOS)
I also highly advise to install Cygwin
see Wikipedia Cygwin
Cygwin is a Unix-like environment and command-line interface for Microsoft Windows. Cygwin provides native integration of Windows-based applications, data, and other system resources with applications, software tools, and data of the Unix-like environment.
You have 2 main tools
- redshell
the Redtamarin shell that interpret and run files - redbean the Redtamarin build tool that compile and generate files
that also means anywhere on your system you should be able to type
$ redshell
or $ redbean
Note:
$
is here to indicate you are inside a command prompt
when you see $ redshell
you type "redshell" and then ENTER
you don't type the $
.
Note2:
You can have a lot of different prompt
C:\>
under Windows
machine user$
under Mac OS X
user@machine:~/some/path$
under Linux
