Projects Templates are an extremely useful tool introduced in the version 4 of PowerFlasher’s FDT it lets You write and include Your own project templates  and are available for you to use when creating a new project in: File>New>New Flash Project.

One of the frameworks that I used the most in 2010 ( expect upcoming post on the 10 frameworks that I used the most last year) is Robotlegs created by Shaun Smith a pure AS3 micro-architecture framework that  is pretty handy when You work in large projects, so the project template that I made is a pretty basic setup of Robotlegs It has a loader class and loader. fla and the MainApplication and main.fla, that fla is where all the Robotlegs magic happens it has the main context 3 views and its mediators 3 commands and an event. This template can be used as a sandbox for starting a small Flash CS5 based Robotlegs project.

How to install the project templates:

In mac open up the Finder and navigate to your home folder. After you installed FDT4 you’ll find a folder called “FDT” there. Navigate to FDT/projectTemplates/Web and copy the RobotlegsFlashCS5 folder in there and Youre good to go.

In Windows 7 go to C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\FDT\projectTemplates\Web copy the RobotlegsFlashCS5 folder in there and You’re all set.

Hope it helps the code is not commented I’ll try to push a commented version to  github as soon as i have the chance.

Ups almost forgot You can download the ProjectTemplate at my FDT-Resources fork in github.

Thanks for sharing your FDT templates! I noticed, while installing them on OSX, that the new path in FDT is as following:

/Users/{yourusersname}/Library/Application Support/FDT/projectTemplates/Web/

Cheers

Thanks Nicolas i’m currently using Windows 7 and haven’t installed eclipse on the Mac yet, so it’s good to know the correct path in MacOS.

Thank you for sharing. I am just running in to a problem. I followed your directions, but when I fire up FDT and try to acces to the template I get an “error:” before the template name. Another message I got is “projectTemplate/compatibleSdks[1]/: Unknown tag ‘compatibleSdks’.”

Any ideas as to what could be the problem? Thanks!

The way Project Templates work in FDT 4.3 changed so I’m currently updating it so it will throw no errors, hope to be releasing new version this week.
