It's all good, the menus and choices are 99% similar :) in Flex version 3.0 (build 3.0.1.205647)

I tried this on Linux and it basically works-
thanks very much.

I got slightly different results after checkout, and a lot of errors in the first build until i went in and added the other src in the flex library path.

As of 9/16/2008 when I check out from the papervision svn repos, I get "trunk 727" instead of "Great White." I am not used to SVN, but managed to navigate the tags and trunk successfully, so it can't be that difficult.

PS I got here from here:

Hi John,

Thanks for the comments. Yes, the svn repository structure has changed since this post went out as Papervision3D is moving towards a release version of v2.0... and I'm a little slow in updating this post!

So, as you say, the latest revision (as of this date) is 727 and Great White no longer exists as a branch. When checking out from the SVN repository you need to select trunk -> as3 -> trunk which currently downloads build, docs, examples and src directories.

To make sure the source is fully compiled you need to ensure that in eclipse the project properties -> Flex Library Build Path has src check-box selected and the src is entered in the Main source folder.

Obviously, if you got the source to compile then you've managed to do all this but its useful for others to have the info - thanks again for the heads-up!
