No problem
On your other problem. In the current svn version the org.tuio.TouchEvent has been renamed to org.tuio.TuioTouchEvent in order to prevent naming conflicts with the native flash.events.TouchEvent, so you will need to refactor your code in order to make it compile with the svn version of the library.

more details about the problem described in the previous post …
if I comment out in tuio/debug/tuioDebug.as the line number 43 where it says

[Embed(source="/org/tuio/assets/fonts.swf", fontName="Arial")]

the it works, but I get further errors related to TouchEvent :

Scene 1, Layer ‘actions’, Frame 5, Line 226 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: TouchEvent.

However I can type org.tuio. and the Flash editor shows me the TouchEvent file in the autocompletition menu. The full path is org.tuio.TouchEvent and I am always refering to the classs with that full path to avoid conflicts, for instance in line 226 it says :

function touchDownCircle(e:org.tuio.TouchEvent):void { trace(e); }

So I dont see why it does not find it because it is there and the editor itself sees it.

thanks for any help

You need to configure flash to use the flexSDK because the TuioDebug class uses an Embed tag to import a font which isn’t supported by flash.

you can find some info on how to do that here http://actionscriptexamples.com/2008/10/26/using-the-flex-sdk-with-flash-cs4/

or simply google flash and flexsdk

I am testing the latest svn version from Flash CS5 and I get this proble. I get a pop up saying

“You have used a feature that requies the Flash SDK :
Embed metadata”

This was not needed before

Well either the stage or myRectangle are null at that point. In which class do you comment this line? Normally in AIR apps you have to make sure that the app is fully initialized before referencing the stage. If you are using mxml this is done via the creationComplete attribute.
If you simply have a main class you have to do something like this:

public function Main():void
{
if (stage) init();
else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
}

private function init(e:Event = null):void
{
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
//more code here
}

I created a project with adobe AIR
but now I have an error. when I run the application and loaded into Adobe AIR, I receive the following error
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference…..

This error is removed when I commented this line of code
// stage.addChild(myRectangle);
but how add the rectangle to the stage
I’m using flex 4
thanks and sorry for basic questions

The best way would be to create an AIR project and copy the example files into it (and fix probable package errors) or simply link the example folder in the build options.
Then you simply create an instance of the Example clss and add to the stage.
