There is an [http://axdt.blip.tv/file/982531/ old screen cast] describing the installation and first use for version '''0.0.2'''.

> The documentation is not complete.

== User documentation ==

 * [AxdtFlexDesignview Flex Designview]
 * [AxdtMxmlValidation Mxml Validation]
 * [AxdtSettings Axdt settings in detail]
 * [AxdtFlexAnt Flex Ant Tasks]

== Quickstart ==
==== Create Project ====
 1. Open AXDT Perspective '''''"Window" > "Open Perspective" > "Other..." > "AXDT"'''''
   * If the AXDT Perspective is not shown in the list read the [wiki:InstallAxdt installation instructions] again.
 1. Create a sample project '''''"New" > "Projekt..." > "AXDT" > "AXDT Project" > name="test"'''''
 1. Right now the layout should look like this: 
{{{
- test (with an axdt logo)
 > src
}}}
==== Compile AS File ====
 1. Now create a !ActionScript 3 file in the src directory with '''''"New" > "AS3 File" > source folder="/test/src/" package="org.axdt" name="Test"'''''
 1. As you can see the folder will be automatically created and the file contains this:
{{{
package org.axdt{
	public class Test {
		
	}
}
}}}
 1. For now override the content with following snipped and save.
{{{
package org.axdt{
  import flash.display.*;
  import flash.events.*;
  public class Test extends Sprite {
    public function Test () { stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickListener); }
    private function clickListener (e:MouseEvent):void {
      if (e.target == stage) {
        drawCircle(e.stageX, e.stageY);
      } else {
        removeChild(DisplayObject(e.target));
      }
    }
    public function drawCircle (x:int, y:int):void {
      var randomColor:int = Math.floor(Math.random()*0xFFFFFF);
      var randomSize:int = 10 + Math.floor(Math.random()*150);
      var circle:Sprite = new Sprite();
      circle.graphics.beginFill(randomColor, 1);
      circle.graphics.lineStyle();
      circle.graphics.drawEllipse(0, 0,randomSize, randomSize);
      circle.x = x-randomSize/2;
      circle.y = y-randomSize/2;
      addChild(circle);
    }
  }
}
}}}
 1. You can now select the launcher with '''"Run as.."''' > '''"Compile and Open a SWF File"'''
 1. The compilation progress is shown in the ''Progress View'' or the bottom right corner of the window.
 1. A ''Console View'' opens up. It shows the compiler output.
 1. As soon as the swf file is compiled the deploy folder will appear and the swf view will open.
   * If you see a blank page refer to GuideViewer for now and set up you eclipse browser.
 1. You can now test the "As3Test.swf" and click on the canvas to create circles.
==== Compile Mxml File ====
 1. ''mxml'' files are also accepted as build targets. Use the wizard to create a MXML File within the project '''''"New" > "MXML File" > name="!MxmlTest"'''''
 1. Note: there is mxml content assist available for the standard eclipse xml editor (WST).
 1. For now fill the content with:
{{{
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical">
  <mx:Script><![CDATA[
         public function copy():void {
              txtIn.text = hello_label.text;
         }
  ]]></mx:Script>
  <mx:Label id="hello_label">
      <mx:text>Hello World!</mx:text>
  </mx:Label>
  <mx:Button id="btn" label="Click me!" click="copy()" />
  <mx:TextInput id="txtIn" text="not clicked" />
</mx:Application>
}}}
 1. You can call the same launcher as described above.
 1. The initial build is usually slow, however compiling a target a second time will be much fast thanks to incremental compilation.
