How to include arbitrary data in projects (text, images, SWF)

Would there be any ideas on how to get this working with the different 1x, 1.5x, 2x and 4x scales?

Make an image for each of the 4 scales and then choose the correct one based on the value of Engine.SCALE.

Engine.SCALE - That's just what I was looking for!, Thanks Rob!.... one more quick quesiton... does loading swf's work on iOS as well?

I don't know.

oh ok, thanks for your help anyways Rob!.

If someone by any chance know whether or not this is possible, please let me know, it would be a nice to know , Thanks!

SWF's only work for Flash.

It's true that NME has rudimentary SWF support for other platforms, but it's extremely limited (no ActionScript - pure animations) and wasn't even able to render a plain animation correctly.

hmmm... I wouldn't mind the -no AS- part, but it's too bad it doesn't render animations properly, I just tried this on my current on-going  project and works really good in flash... hasn't been able to test in on Android  or anything else yet though.

where I have to create the extras folder?

debug->view->view games folder?

I can not find the right place.

It goes in your game's folder, along with these other folders: behavior-hx, linked, resources, scenes, snippets.

Thank you.
I am now getting an error "access denied", I'm using windows 7.

Weird. Is your workspace in a protected directory? Try running explorer as admin. Or better yet, move your workspace directory somewhere where you have the rights to access and modify the files anyway.

like I can change the working folder? for example to "J:\stencylworks"

Yeah. File > Preferences > Workspace > Workspace Folder to change it.

[ERR] java.io.FileNotFoundException: J:\StencylWorks\stencylworks\games\Mummies Escape GameMazing\extras\data (access denied)

not working

What are you trying to do when that error shows up?

when I create the folder "data" I get this error.

I want to do is:

Code: [Select]

var bytes = nme.Assets.getBytes("data/splash.swf");
var loader:nme.display.Loader = new nme.display.Loader();
loader.loadBytes(bytes);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(nme.events.Event.COMPLETE, function(_) {
    com.stencyl.Engine.engine.root.addChild(loader.content);
});
I get the same error if I do not put the code.
works perfect when I delete the folder "data"

Oh. You actually don't want to create any subdirectories within extras. All of your arbitrary files should be placed directly into extras, and then the remapping to "assets/data/" happens when you build the game.

So /[game dir]/extras/splash.swf is called with nme.Assets.getBytes("assets/data/splash.swf").
