Install and Set-up the Whirled SDK

  1. Download the SDK from the link above.
  2. Unzip the SDK you downloaded in your chosen location, creating a whirled folder with a few folders in it.
  3. Once the Whirled SDK has been properly installed, the next step is to add the classpaths to the ActionScript files used in Adobe Flash Professional as shown below.

The Setup of SDK

Setting a classpath will allow a program to automatically import the code needed for all your future avatars, pets, toys, or furniture items. When correctly set up, items, requiring the use of the SDK, will export with the code while using that program!
