Free download! Jump start your AS3 project using this free template!

Yesterday I posted about the AS3 development environment that I have been using. In that post I provided the link to the ActionScript 3.0 Application Template that I put together. I thought the Template deserved its own post to share a little more information regarding it.

This template is a simple set of files to assist in starting an ActionScript 3.0 project.
build.xml is what you need to edit to make changes for Ant calling mxmlc
src\main.as is the main application driver code
com\seantheflashguy.* this is the remaining code for the template

At the moment the app template is very simple and does need more work. It should however save you the time that I spent getting it set up. There is some good code in the template that should also save you time.

I will most likely have updates for the app template too. Some thoughts for framework level functionality that would be nice to start all Flash Apps with include:
Back button support
Liquid layout option
Main movie timeline preloader/progress bar
Unit Testing framework integration
ASDoc integration
and more…

Download the ActionScript 3.0 Application Template here:

Also, you’ll need the JDK, Ant, and MXMLC to use this app template…. See this post for basic setup instructions of these tools.
