[haXe] first visit and first questions

[Frank]

Hi all,

being a backend programmer and UI agnostic for decades, having played w/ 
XUL-Runner for some days and read hours and days about flash, flex, haxe 
etc., I eventually gave it haXe try - and stumbled.

My config: Win2K, haXe 1.08 download (no cvs), new flashplayer 9 installed.
haxesetup.exe has been run, and yes, there is a fresh cmd.exe after this 
run.
'haxelib install swhx' ran and 'haxelib path swhx' displays 1.0.4.

My first hurdles

1/ 'haxelib run swhx' started from HAXEPATH does not work: dialog box 
'module not found : app.n'

2/ running 'haxe compile.hxml' in 
'%HAXEPATH%\lib\swhx\1,0,4\samples\1-basic' does not work:
    Flash.hx:30: characters 1-35 : Class not found : haxe.remoting.Server

    A guess: Server.hx is searched in %HAXEPATH%\std\haxe\remoting, but 
it isn't there - also not in CVS. Now I'm lost.

3/ running %HAXEPATH%\lib\swhx\1,0,4\samples\sampler\bin\sampler.swf 
opens the application,
    but no sample app is shown.

    This might be because 2 doesn't run and the sampler checks for 
compiled apps, just a guess again.

So if anyone could help me w/ 1/ and 2/ I might be able to proceed.

And while I'm at it: I also checked the CVS download, any chance that 
you can add an exported Makefile for VS2003 toolkit.
This free version can't to my knowledge work w/ the solution and project 
files.


Having said this, I also want to add that I'm really deeply impressed by 
the idea and the work on haXe.

I'm still bringing the pieces together and trying  to figure out
whether I should go w/ Flex SDK and Flashplayer, Haxe and Flashplayer or 
Haxe and XUL-Runner.
If anyone can share some concrete hints on that too, I would be happy 
for today
- once my two issues from above are solved and I could run the sampler ;)

TIA,
   Frank
