How to Convert AS3 to C

Converting an ActionScript 3 (AS3) program to a C program can be a daunting task especially if you don't have the right software tools. Without a code converter, you would have to recode your AS3 program into C manually or write your own code-converter to perform the ActionScript to C conversion. Open source-code converters, although less than perfect, can make the job much easier. With HaXe, one such converter, you can convert AS3 programs to C using the HaXe programming language, a programming language that has structure, syntax, methods and classes that are almost identical to ActionScript.

Instructions

    • 1

      Download and install the HaXe multilanguage program from the HaXe website, in Resources. Download the FlashDevelop platform from the FlashDevelop website, also in Resources. Download Microsoft Visual C++ Express from the Microsoft website.

    • 2

      Start FlashDevelop. Click the "New Project" option from the "Project" menu. Click "C++ Project" underneath the "HaXe" category in the dialog box.

    • 3

      Type the code to declare a package and import the HaXe C++ compiler into the Haxe program editor.

      package;
      import cpp.Lib;

    • 4

      Copy and paste your AS3 class code into the HaXe program editor (on the line following the import statement). Set up the main class so that it is a static function and closes the rest of the class functionality. Close the package by typing a right curly brace ("}") at the end of the class code.

      Click "Test Movie" from the "Project" menu to test the C++ program that has been compiled from the HaXe code.
