Do you have to have Flash 9 to use the code?

[saumya]

No.
If you have Adobe Flex 2 Software Development Kit (http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/downloads/), which is free, you can use APE too.
The point is you have to code it in AS3. :)

I got the trial version of flash 9, but it still won't work. It always says that you can't nest packages. And I don't even know what a package is. :o It comes with a giant library that I have no idea on how to use. Does anyone know where there are tutorials for this? Not for Flex 2, but for Flash 9.

[saumya]

packages are collections of classes in its very simplest definition.But you must know how to use them.In fact flash's internal help is also too good to get started. Here is a link to the repository of adobe's tutorials (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/).

The APE used to be called flade. Wonder why it has changed name.

[Stickslayer]

Flade is not the same thing as APE. It is merely an older engine by the same creator.
