jsfl to flash extension

[jjmancini]

I'm reseaching on how to extend flash. I have a script that I want to be madew available in flash. Now I do not know how to write my jsfl file, but all it will include is the following:
add layer
add frame:
add actions to frame:
add objects to library

BUT HERE IS MY QUESTION...
Once my jsfl file is created, how would that acually be turned into a flash extension?

Thanks!

well in order for flash to use it, all that needs to be done is for it to be copied into the appropriate folder in ut flash installation forlder, on xp looks like this
c:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash MX 2004\en\Configuration\
so to create a command you would but it into this path + commands
or a windowSWF it needs to be in the windowSWF folder.
and flash needs to be restarted.

to create a extension itself (a mxp) u must create a mxi file and use extension manager to package it. there are several usefull tools/tutorials that will hep u create the mxi file.

good luck

Wow, so it sounds a lot more simplistic then I was led to believe through reading documentation. hmmmm.. THanks so much for you help sir hangalot.

Would anyone be willing to help me get started in writing my jsfl file and helping me get my windowswf file to write to actionscript?

Thanks!

well what do u need?
to create a a windowSWF just create a normal swf, to call a function in a jsfl file there is a static method i have on my site, in the scpt-fl section that does that.
the link to my site is at the bottom of this post

THanks again! That is a great resource that you have there!

Do you know of any examples of a completed jsfl file? Preferrably one that is as simple as the one I am trying to create.

i have a tool (spraypaint) a command(classbuilder) all availible on my site (one as an mxp and the other as jsfl file) the mxp afterit is installed is only a jsfl file as well in the commands folder. I would check keith peters site (www.bit-101.com/blog) and patrick minault posted a link on his site in this forum linking to loads of other jsfl extensions.
