Hi,
the example you provided is the same as before, and unfortunally i get the same results from it
The only thing i get from the avatar is this output:
"AVATAR CREATION ERROR: Missing 'DemoAvatar' class definition in avatars application domain for 'demo' avatar type "
although i think i got everything like mentioned in the documentation.
A pratical example would be nice, since there seems to be alot of questions regarding this matter.

I get warning when using createMyAvatar
Code: Select all
[WARNING] An error occurred while creating avatar '0': Invalid main avatar class definition for 'demo' avatar type: class must extend Avatar
"demo's" mainClass is "DemoAvatar"
And Yes, DemoAvatar extends Avatar class
Code: Select all
package
{
import com.smartfoxserver.openspace.engine.model.avatar.Avatar;
import com.smartfoxserver.openspace.shared.view.items.Tile;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.display.*; // This import is required or Flash CS3 won't be able to compile; no issues with CS4 instead
public class DemoAvatar extends Avatar
{....
What am I doing wrong?

I suppose you are using the "external library" approach. In this case you probably have an issue with the application domain in which you load the avatars swf file. As the IOpenSpace.avatarAppDomain property description says in the client API reference, that application domain must have the main application domain as its parent. Otherwise OpenSpace will "see" a different Avatar class definition which doesn't match with the one you are extending in your avatar.

I made some changes and now I have this:
Code: Select all
[WARNING] An error occurred while creating avatar '3': Error #1056: Ð

gl0om,
DemoAvatar.as is the class definition linked to a movieclip in the DemoAvatarContainer.fla file. Are you able to compile that fla to a swf file, without errors?

Are you following the "external library" approach correctly, creating the application domain in which you load the swf correctly?

I'm not sure. Here's my code
Code: Select all
private function init(e:Event = null):void
{
removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
swfLibrariesAppDomain = new ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);
openSpace.skinAppDomain = swfLibrariesAppDomain;
openSpace.bgAppDomain = swfLibrariesAppDomain;
openSpace.avatarAppDomain = swfLibrariesAppDomain;
...
}
private function loadMapAssets(skinSwfFilenames:Array, bgSwfFilenames:Array):void
{
...
var fileNames:Array = skinSwfFilenames.concat(bgSwfFilenames)
fileNames.push("DemoAvatarContainer.swf");
...
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onMapSwfFileLoaded)
...
{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("libraries/" + fileNames[i])
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, swfLibrariesAppDomain)
logTrace("loader created for "+ fileNames[i])
loader.load(request, context)
}
...
}

There was no definision for myAvatarSymbol and avatarGraphics in DemoAvatar.as from flex.zip.
So I added these 2 lines
public var myAvatarSymbol:*;
public var avatarGraphics:*;
Now everything seems to be fine

Not sure? Did you read my earlier post in which I describe the two approaches?
Anyway, as you are loading an external SWF file, you are using an external library.
DemoAvatar.as doesn't contain a definition of
myAvatarSymbol and
avatarGraphics because those are movieclips inside the DemoAvatar movieclip contained in the DemoAvatarContainer.fla file.

Yes, I did. As it works fine now, I suppose that I did everything well. But I can't understand why my project should be compiled without definition of
myAvatarSymbol and
avatarGraphics in DemoAvatar.as. My project simply don't know about these objects in DemoAvatar.swf and compilator tells me that it can't find these objects in DemoAvatar.as

You don't have to include DemoAvatar.as in your main project. It is used when you compile your avatar library swf file, so it takes those
myAvatarSymbol and
avatarGraphics definitions from there.

And what if I use DemoVatar class in my project? Compilator will stuck on line where the reference on DemoAvatar is. Because in DemoAvatar.as it'll find the implementation of
myAvatarSymbol, but this
myAvatarSymbol is defined in SWF file, not in DemoAvatar.as ...
I suppose that compilator doesn't check SWF file for possible definitions, or it does?
