Title: NGUI 2.6.2 Flash build errors
Post by: Tripwire on June 16, 2013, 08:53:07 AM
Hi,

I'm trying to make a simple testbuild for a flash game we are making. But when I try to compile my project i get the following error messages:
Quote

Error building Player: Exception: Validation step FlashDotNetAPIValidationRule Failed!

I checked the NGUITools.cs file but when i try to comment some of the stuff out which genereates the errors i only get more errors :(

Fixed the first set of build errors by commenting out the stuff. But now it generates some more errors:

Flash support is being dropped by Unity -- you know that, right?

You can fix that part by replacing all of it with:
  1. #if !UNITY_WEBPLAYER && !UNITY_FLASH && !UNITY_METRO
  2.         static PropertyInfo mSystemCopyBuffer = null;
  3.         static PropertyInfo GetSystemCopyBufferProperty ()
  4.         {
  5.                 if (mSystemCopyBuffer == null)
  6.                 {
  7.                         Type gui = typeof(GUIUtility);
  8.                         mSystemCopyBuffer = gui.GetProperty("systemCopyBuffer", BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
  9.                 }
  10.                 return mSystemCopyBuffer;
  11.         }
  12.

  15.         /// </summary>
  16.  
  17.         public static string clipboard
  18.         {
  19.                 get
  20.                 {
  21.                         PropertyInfo copyBuffer = GetSystemCopyBufferProperty();
  22.                         return (copyBuffer != null) ? (string)copyBuffer.GetValue(null, null) : null;
  23.                 }
  24.                 set
  25.                 {
  26.                         PropertyInfo copyBuffer = GetSystemCopyBufferProperty();
  27.                         if (copyBuffer != null) copyBuffer.SetValue(null, value, null);
  28.                 }
  29.         }
  30. #else
  31.         /// <summary>

  36.         {

I know but since the bossman doesn't like to have users install a plugin to use Unity3D, Flash is the only option  :(.

So i changed the code like you stated but now i get these errors while building:

Tried checking out the UIWidget.cs script but couldn't find anything which looks like the errors the Flash build is generating.

I have no idea about that one as it doesn't point me in the right direction. UIWidget.depth is a property, not a variable... so how can it be undefined? That makes no sense to me.

Hmm right, well i'll post it on the Unity3D forums. Maybe someone has the answer there.

EDIT:
I'm using NGUI 2.6.2 freshly downloaded from the asset store, is there a way to get an older version say NGUI 2.6.0 or 2.6.1 so i can test if it's a problem with the newest version of NGUI?

2.6.3 fixes this. Sorry forgot to update the post. I will release it likely tomorrow.
