Software Source Code Instructions

1. First install the DIY Magic Mirror software from http://diymagicmirror.com/install.html
2. Unzip the source code zip file to any directory on your computer.
3. From Adobe Flash CS4, open the file < configure.fla >.
4. From the Flash CS4 menu, choose < File > and < Publish Settings > and then click the folder below and navigate to your source code directory.

After selecting the directory, click < Save >.

Click < OK >.

5. From Adobe Flash CS4, open the file < mirror.fla > and repeat step 4 but save to the filename of < mirror > instead of < configure >.
6. From the Adobe Flash CS4 menu, click < File > and < AIR Settings > and click the < Select Icon Images > button.

Click the folder icon next to the 128 x 128 row.

Navigate to your source code directory and choose the < icons > directory.

Pick the corresponding icon and click < Open >.

Repeat for the other 3 icons and then click < OK > when done.

For the Digital signature, click < Change >.

Select your own certificate or you can use < diymagicmirror.p12 >.

The password is < mirror > in lowercase if using < diymagicmirror.p12 >.

7. Repeat step 6 for the file < mirror.fla >.

8. Launch the file C:\Program Files\DIY Magic Mirror\serproxy.exe or C:\Program Files\DIY Magic Mirror (x86)\serproxy.exe if your Windows OS is 64-bit. This must be running before you run the file < mirror.fla>.

9. From Adobe Flash CS4, open the file < configure.fla > and choose < Control > and < Test Movie > from the Adobe Flash CS4 main menu. If you don't have an Internet connection, you will get some errors which can ignore. You'll then see the configuration screen below and also the directory and file < diymagicmirror-settings\mirrorconfig.xml> > will be created in your "My Documents" directory. Next plug in your Magic Mirror Sensor Hub/Arduino and choose the correct dropdown port for the < Magic Mirror Sensor Hub Port > field and then < Save >.

11. From the Adobe Flash CS4 menu with < mirror.fla > open, choose < Control > and < Test Movie >. If your Magic Mirror Sensor Hub/Arduino is plugged in and the correct port is set, you'll get:

If the Magic Mirror Sensor Hub is not plugged in or the wrong port is set, you'll get:

12. Assuming everything ran correctly, you can now make your changes to the files < configure.as > and < mirror.as >.

13. After you've made your changes and are ready to build your AIR install file, you can use the certificate < diymagicmirror.p12 > with the password of < mirror > in lowercase
