Assets.getBitmapData not working? about openfl HOT 8 CLOSED

Targeting flash an error occurs:
Assets.hx: 180[openfl.Assets] There is no BitmapData asset with ID of "assets/nme.png"

I tried to add an "assets" tag in the xml but still no luck.

Sorry.
I got it working by adding

< assets path="Assets" rename="assets" exclude="nme.svg" />

as in the old NME example (I was missing the "rename").

It may be worth mentioning, in the "Transition-to-OpenFL" page, that you need an "assets" tag?
Cheers :D

When someone embedded an asset using NME, they would use an tag and they would use nme.Assets

Now with embedded @:bitmap tag (and others) you can directly embed assets, avoiding the openfl.Assets class and accompanying tag ... its up to your preference :)

@jgranick Will openfl.Assets class stay in openfl or it will be removed after some time?

Joshua, thank you very much for your patience. This leads me to my next question: http://www.nme.io/index.php?cID=11557

Hi there,

So I was having a problem where Assets.getBitmapData ("assets/nme.png"); is returning null.

Turns out that I need to import and use "nme.Assets" instead of "openfl.Assets". After I did that, getBitmapData started working.

Shouldn't openfl be independent from NME?

Thanks, guys!

I found this thread when trying to figure this out, and thought I would post what I did incase it could help anyone.

in my project.xml:
<assets path="assets/include" include="*" />

then in your Main.hx: import openfl.Assets;

then

new Bitmap(openfl.Assets.getBitmapData('assets/include/myGreatAsset.png'));

from openfl.

I fell in the same trap. Perhaps the error message could be more noob friendly by stating "... Please check your project.xml"
