Actually, when setting up the Flexmojos CI suite, I gave up trying to setup a Linux-Based instance. Getting the FlashPlayer to run on a headless machine is surely a task to make you loose your head.
The only option I saw in having FlashPlayer based unit test running, was the Windows machine. And for FM I even needed a medium sized instance, as the memory of the micro editions is way to low to allow serius test to run on it. I know that Medium Windows machines are more expensive, but I currently donate the 60$-100$/Month to the Flexmojos Project. After all ... they only cost, if I let the tests run and that's currently not very often. Chris ________________________________________ Von: Harbs [gavha...@gmail.com] Gesendet: Freitag, 15.
