NGUI and Flash

[tng2903]

Hi,

I know that this topic is old, and Flash is dying, but as a developer, I must follow the leader, so please help me with this issue, since I don't know what to do next.

I'm using NGUI 3.0.6 f7, when I tried to build Flash version, Unity give me 2 error (everything else is fine, compile ok, can run smoothly in Editor, but just can't build into swf)

The first error:

1. Failed to convert type 'NGUITools': Failed to resolve T
2. Mono.Cecil.ResolutionException: Failed to resolve T
3.   at Unity.CecilTools.Extensions.ResolutionExtensions.Resolve[TypeReference,TypeDefinition] (Mono.Cecil.TypeReference reference, System.Func`2 resolve) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

8.   at cil2as.Decompiler.Transforms.OptimizeCasts.VisitCastExpression (ICSharpCode.NRefactory.CSharp.CastExpression castExpression, System.Object data) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

Please note that there are a lot more of <filename unknown> below this point, but I truncated them for short


The second error:

1. Error building Player: Exception: C:/Program Files (x86)/Unity/Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/FlashSupport\BuildTools\cil2as\cil2as.exe Failed:

11.  

Before reaching this point, I must make some modification in NGUI's classes: UIDrawCall.cs, NGUIText.cs and BetterList.cs

As I search for answer, I encounter something similar happened in NGUI 2.6.2, in NGUITools also. But as I tried to apply the fix mentioned, I can't seem to get it to work.

Thank you so much for this amazing foundation


EDIT: I forgot to mention, I'm using Unity 4.2.1 at work, but I've tried with Unity 4.3 with no success


EDIT 2: I tried to build NGUI's examples for testing purpose , since I want a solid starting point

i am interested in this too!

Just comment out the FindAll() function and it seems to work fine. It's not used anywhere in NGUI 3.0.7, so it's safe to remove. In fact, I am going to do just that and put up an update...

Hi,

Do you mean the FindAll<T>() function in NGUITools class? Because when I try to comment it out, there is some other function using it: NormalizeWidgetDepths() and NormalizePanelDepths() for instance.

I don't know what is wrong with the FindAll, or why it don't compile for flash. Would you mind sharing these information ?

Thank you for your help ^^

3.0.7 f1 is already out and it compiles fine on flash. Just grab the latest.

Thank you for the information, I've just updated NGUI and every thing is fine now.
