   Thanks! This worked like a charm. Why is the code in the mag different though? I couldn’t get that to work. Maybe I did something wrong???

   Thanks again for a great foundation to Flash and Flickr.

   @chris the code from the mag should be working – it’s hard to say without seeing how you’ve implemented it. Be sure to check out the June issue of FFD as I’ve wrtten a “Part 2″ to this article that goes a bit more in depth.

   Cool, I probably made a mistake somewhere. Thanks again for the intro!

   I tried the Flickr and Flash tutorial in the FFD magazine. First of all, great article…very clear and easy to follow.

   On to my question…for some reason it seems the class ServiceEvent was not included in the a3flickrlib library I downloaded. I’m getting an error that the definition of base class ServiceEvent was not found on line 46 of FlickrResultEvent.as (public class FlickrResultEvent extends ServiceEvent).

   I downloaded flickr-.87.zip from the site specified in the article. Shouldn’t the class (ServiceEvent) be included in this download?

   @Tim The service event is part of the as3corelib library. You can download it here:
   http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib/

   You’ll need to include this when you compile your SWF. I hope that helps – let me know if you still have trouble with it.

   Just out of interest, were you referring to the article in the April issue or the June issue of FFD?

   Did I miss that in the article? I don’t remember seeing anything about needing that as3core library.

   The second library helped as far as the errors…I no longer receive any compile errors, but now I’m getting a blank screen. Hmmm…I guess I’ll play around with the code and see if I can figure out what I did wrong (any ideas?)

   Thanks for your help! Btw, this was from the article in the April issue (2/2009). First time I’ve seen the FFD magazine…I really like it, but the cost is a bit much…$15 here in the States.

   For some reason I was having classpath issues. I seem to have resolved those issues, but now I’m getting another error and about 20 arnings. The error is in FlickrInFlash.as,

   “1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MouseEvent.”

   This is in regards to the following line:

   private function launchPhoto(e:MouseEvent):void {

   Any idea what’s going on?

   I also tried the code you posted for the Flickr portfolio (RawVersion.zip). I get errors there as well. All I did was add my Flickr info and tried compiling the code. I get the following:

   connected to flickr…
   TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

    @Tim the “1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MouseEvent.” error is because you haven’t imported the MouseEvents class. If you add “import flash.events.MouseEvent;” to your imports you should be fine

    I’m not sure what is happening with the RawVersion… I don’t seem to get those errors when I test it with my details… let me know how you get on with it.

    @Tim also, try and get a hold of the June issue of FFD – I’ve written a more in depth article about flickr/flash in there.
