title: Hello World in FlasCC - Getting FlasCC running for the first time in WIndows
body: <p>I am reading the README.html instructions.</p>
  
  <p>It says:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Extract the contents of the ZIP file onto your hard drive. This can be extracted to anywhere on your hard drive, but this readme will assume it is located at C:\flascc\</li>
  <li>Ensure 64-bit Java is installed (http://www.java.com/getjava)</li>
  <li>Ensure Java is on your PATH (http://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml)</li>
  <li>Download the Flex SDK (some of the tutorials require Flex 4.6 or higher in order to be  compiled.)</li>
  <li>Download a debugger version of the Flash Player (only needed if you want to use GDB to debug your code)</li>
  <li>Double click the run.bat file</li>
  <li>Check that FlasCC is working by compiling the first tutorial: 
  <ol>
  <li>cd 01_HelloWorld</li>
  <li>make FLASCC=/path/to/sdk FLEX=/path/to/flex</li>
  <li>Launch the hello.swf file</li>
  </ol></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I am not sure about step 2. Does 64-bit Java run on a 32-bit Windows 7? Does that mean I cannot use FlasCC? Does it also mean I cannot run applications that use FlasCC?</p>
  
  <p>The rest of the steps are a piece of cake. </p>
