Tortoise SVN is a powerfull SVN client to manager all your opensource or your private Surversion projects.

2 - Creates a SVN directory in your hard disk, for example : c:\vegas

3 - Right-click over the directory in Windows and select the SVN checkout item.

4 - Use the SVN link http://vegas.googlecode.com/svn and validate.

5 - All files are installed in your hard disk.. you can now use the right-click the "update" of the tortoiseSVN context menu to update VEGAS.

Note : If you want install only AS3 or AS2 sources in your disk you can target a specific branches in the top-level repository :

With SVN command line

Non-members may check out a read-only working copy anonymously over HTTP. 

svn checkout http://vegas.googlecode.com/svn

In Mac OSX you can use scplugin or SvnX or RapidSVN to install the Vegas sources and examples.

This project's Subversion repository may be accessed using many different client programs and plug-ins. See your client's documentation for more information.

Use VEGAS in Flash

AS3 project

Install the VEGAS classpath in Flash CS3.

1 - Open Flash :)

4 - Add an item in the list and click the Browse to Path button to browse to the directory : AS3/trunk/src in the VEGAS project repository.

5 - click OK

6 - In flash creates a new AS3 document and in an ActionScript layer write : 

import vegas.CoreObject ;
 
var oC:CoreObject = new CoreObject() ;
trace("hasCode :: " + oC.hashCode()) ;
trace("toString :: " + oC) ;
 
/* output
hasCode :: 0
toString :: [CoreObject]
*/

AS2 project

Install the classpath of VEGAS AS2 in Flash7 or Flash8 or Flash CS3.

import vegas.core.CoreObject ;
 
var oC:CoreObject = new CoreObject() ;
trace("hasCode :: " + oC.hashCode()) ;
trace("toString :: " + oC) ;
 
/* output
hasCode :: 0
toString :: [CoreObject]
*/

Use VEGAS with MTASC

You can use my AS2 framework too with MTASC.

You must target your VEGAS '''AS2/trunk/src/''' directory with the '''-cp''' command in your MTASC task (Ant task or other...)

Use VEGAS in Flex Builder 3

Phase 1

Creates a new Flex Project or ActionScript project.

Press next to continue

Phase 2

Sets the name of the project and defines your project location and application type.

Press next to continue

Phase 3

You can now change the default project folder name.

NB : In my personal projects i use the name deploy.

Press next to continue

Phase 4

Add the AS3/trunk/src folder in the source path list of your project.

When your project is created you can right-click the project and change this list in the properties panel of the project.

NB : By default in my projects i use the main source folder : src

Phase 5

You can now try the next script in the main Application.mxml class of the project. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application 
	
	xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" 
	layout="absolute"
	initialize="complete(event);"
	backgroundColor="#666666"
	
>
	
	<mx:Script>
		<![CDATA[

		import vegas.CoreObject;

		
		/**
		 * Invoked when the Flex application is initialize.
		 */		
		public function complete( e:Event ):void
		{
			
			var core:CoreObject = new CoreObject() ;
			trace( "core     : " + core ) ;            // core      : [CoreObject]
			trace( "hashCode : " + core.hashCode() ) ; // hashCode  : 0
			
		}			
			
		]]>
	</mx:Script>
	
	
</mx:Application>
