"Requested extension could not be found" - using ANEs in FlashDevelop

I originally posted a thread under the ODK category, but in hindsight, I think it's more relevant in General Development. The other thread (here) can be ignored/deleted.

Basically, I'm having a lot of trouble getting Gaslight Games' OUYAControllerANE working in my game, and I think the issue is with FlashDevelop and my setup. Here's a summary of my struggles:

  • I followed all the instructions on this page: https://plus.google.com/u/0/109524935899218597554/posts/7rhFEX7S372 but it doesn't work and the project doesn't build; it fails with the error message "Requested extension com.gaslightgames.OUYAControllerANE could not be found".
  • Here's my extensions tag from application.xml:
    <extensions>
         <extensionID>com.gaslightgames.OUYAControllerANE</extensionID>
     </extensions>

    I've also tried com.gaslightgames.nativeExtensions.OUYAControllerANE and com.gaslightgames.OUYAControllerANE.ane; same result. 

  • I've tried creating a new AIR Mobile project but the results are the same. Furthermore, I've tried other ANEs such as the Vibrator ANE (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air/extensions/vibration.html) but this gave the same result, so I think I've missed something fundamental.
  • I'm using the Flex and AIR installations that came with FlashDevelop. Is this correct, is there something else I need to setup? I have used FlashDevelop in its current state for Flash player development just fine until now.

If someone can point me to a detailed explanation of how to use the OUYA Controller ANE with FlashDevelop, or perhaps a demo project, that would be incredibly helpful. Alternatively, if someone has encountered a similar issue, details of their solution would be fantastic.

I have tried using GameInput in Adobe AIR and this worked; I want to use the OUYA Controller ANE because I've heard it is better than GameInput and I'd find the experience of ANEs helpful for future development.

Thanks,
Ruairi

    I've resolved the issue. I followed the instructions in this video, which was incredibly descriptive and it seems to be working now; OUYAControllerANE.isSupported is returning true on console.
