Never mind. But the Hello World part doesn’t come up, and I did download everything needed.

What? when I do the debug thing it asks if I want this AS3 context thing, if I say yes it opens and nothing happens, if I say no nothing happens. And I can’t find the ‘Hello world’ thing in the output box. Help?

Go to View in the menu and select Project Manager, right click the file there and choose Always Compile

I get an information message saying “In order to build this project, you must mark the AS or MXML entry point as “Always Compile” in the project tree.”
How do I get to the project tree?

So, Anon has the most likely solution: I have CS4 and I feel the problem is that it opens Flash Player 7….for no apparent reason. However, after opening the 44 MB Zip file and the debug, it works, but only for a few days…so I have to constantly open it…

If I find a workaround, I’ll post it!

Got it! Just had to uninstall previous version of Flash from command prompt using /clean argument.

My trace isn’t showing up in the output window, and every time I try to download the LATEST VERSION from the Adobe website, when I try installing it, it states that I’m not installing the latest version and that I should go to the Adobe site and download the latest version. STUPID! God I’m so pissed right now.

if you can not trace to the output window:
according to the flex docs (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=logging_04.html)
there is a debugger flash player installed in the location: Flex SDK: install_dir/runtimes/player/os_version/
I used that one and it the above tutorial worked for me.

What I found surprising is that instead of using external player, I used open popup and the message Hello world! appeared at last. But now it dawns on me I could have tried that months ago. Hey grapefrukt! I still gotta thank you for the tutorial here!

Seems I somehow saved the project in a different place than the folders it creates. Moved them together, and it ran. Thanks.

Try setting an output target file in your project settings. That should do it.

I also have a problem; when I try to run the code, I get the following in the Output box:

Error: a target file must be specified
Use ‘mxmlc -help’ for information about using the command line.
Build halted with errors (fcsh).

What does it mean and how do I fix it?
