CreateMyAvatar bug (?)

[ffourcad]

Hello,

I have made some test projects where I loaded a map, then created an avatar, and it worked. When the beta 5 was released, I created a new project, and I reused the avatar I created for the past projects, but I was unable to create an avatar instance, the openspace engine tells me :

[WARNING] An error occurred while creating avatar '1': Invalid main avatar class definition for 'girl' avatar type: class must extend Avatar

I can't understand why

Edit : the same is happening when I use the DemoAvatar contained in the flex example

We can't reproduce this issue. Did you recompile the swc containing the avatar classes definitions?

[ffourcad]

No, I just took the flash example available with beta 5, recompile the DemoAvatarContainer.fla available in the flex example, add my code to the osExampleFlash.as, and load the avatar, and call the createMyAvatar method.

Drop us an email: we will re-export and send to you the Flex project of the example.

When I run the flex example, i have a runtime error :

ArgumentError: Error #1063: Non-correspondance du nombre d'arguments sur mx.binding::PropertyWatcher(). 3 prévu(s), 2 détecté(s).

if I remove the CollapseCanvas component, the project won't compile. Anyway, I'm not using Flex, I'm using Flash, and the problem is with the avatar creation which says that it is not extending Avatar Class, whereas it is.

Of course. You also have to modify the code which writes messages in the CollapseCanvas textareas.

The problem might be related to application domains. The application domain in which you load the avatars library must have the main application domain as parent. In other words you should do something like this:

Code: Select all

var avAppDomain:ApplicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain)

..... (load the external swf)

openSpace.avatarAppDomain = avAppDomain

Let us know if this works.

Well, you're good : it did work !
