I just found out that SUN had discontinue the support for serial comm on windows platform. I’m not sure why but to my luck , there’re still a open source community which still maintaining a seri al comm library for windows which called rxtx.

I need to merge the smsj and rxtx to together. It is simple to make smsj to work with rxtx. One’s just need to check out the smsj source codes and amend javax.comm.* to gnu.io.*and build it.

If anyone needs help on this, do email me, I’ll email you the compiled version

FIVe3D for AS3.0 is out which developed by Mathieu Badimon ! I just download this sweet vector 3D engine. I;m trying to get it to work with Flex, but was hit by a few obstacles . I google around couldn’t really find a complete guide in getting FIVe3D to compile as a SWC.

Although I do manage to find a few sources like pixelwelders which have a good tutorial on FIVe3D. Combining the info that I collected, I manage to get the FIVe3D to compile as a SWC. This really make development to FIVe3D easier on Flex Builder

I hope the steps are clear and here goes:

1. Download and install Adobe Flash CS 3 Trial installed (you need the fl.motion.* stuff).
2. Download TweenLite from GreenSock.
3. Open up Flex Builder and Create a Flex Library project.
4. Import entire FIVe3D source code into src directory.
5. Import entire Flash CS3 pathtoflashcs3/en/Configuration/ActionScript3.0/Classes.
6. Import Tweenlite source code
7. Check that you have five3D, gs and fl folders under your src directory in Flex Builder
8. Just build it and should get a FIVe3D swc in your bin directory
9. Ta ta, just link the swc into any of your experiment project.

Hope the above will be useful to anyone. Cheers

Shoo Flex !
