FlexMonkey 1.0 Migration Guide

If you used previous versions of FlexMonkey, this guide is for you.  Setup for the new version is a little different than before.  Note that the new setup info below also applies if you are trying to compile generated code.

First, MonkeyAgent is no longer supported, and we now recommend MonkeyLink for all users.

Chapter 4 in the FlexMonkey 1.0 User Guide details setup with MonkeyLink:

To link your application with the MonkeyLink, you need to have Flex Builder Pro so that you can build a project with the Automation libraries. You also need the automation_monkey.swc available in the Monkey Accessories. Be sure to get the automation_monkey.swc that is for your Flex SDK version. Currently, there are automation_monkey.swcs available for a variety of Flex SDKs. Once you find the automation_monkey.swc that you want, place the automation_monkey.swc in a directory named libs in your Flex Builder project directory. 

Then, in your application's Flex Builder project, in Project Properties/Flex Compiler/Additional compiler arguments, add the automation libraries.

If you are building with the Flex 3 SDK, add each of these include-libraries statements:

-include-libraries "../libs/automation_monkey.swc"   
-include-libraries "${flexlib}/libs/automation.swc"   
-include-libraries "${flexlib}/libs/automation_agent.swc"   
-include-libraries "${flexlib}/libs/automation_dmv.swc"

If you are building with the Flex 4 SDK, add each of these include-libraries statements:

-include-libraries "../libs/automation_monkey.swc"   
-include-libraries "${flexlib}/libs/automation/automation.swc"   
-include-libraries "${flexlib}/libs/automation/automation_agent.swc"   
-include-libraries "${flexlib}/libs/automation/automation_dmv.swc"
-include-libraries "${flexlib}/libs/automation/automation_dmv.swc
