I downloaded Flex SDK 4 and also an .as project with many classes. In order to learn I want to build them and execute. How do I do it ?
I tried with FlashDevelop, but it's not working and when works compile only one single class.
Has anyone tried to compile a flex project that uses Cairngorm with command line?
View 1 RepliesI understand that in Flex builder we can right click on a CSS file and choose 'compile to swf' and our CSS SWFs will automatically be compiled along with the main app.Is possible to compile the CSS file only (not with the main app) from the command line?Give clients a Flex CSS file to hand edit.Allow them to upload the file via a CMS.Trigger a server process to run the compiler from the command line, outputting the compiled SWF to the appropriate server path.This would of course be a whole lot simpler if Flex properly supported text-based CSS files (without requiring manually applying styles using AS3).
View 1 RepliesI am trying to compile a file into swf using mxmlc in command line. When it is a very simple mxml, compile is successful. But when the file contaion the fx name space, I get a compile error like: could not resolve (or ) to a component implementation.
I have to be able to do this, without the help of Flash Builder because I am working on a project where I will need to generate swf files from mxml files of which we generate the code.The code I am trying to compile is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application

I'm interested in learning just enough Flash/Flex to do things that I can't do from HTML and JavaScript alone - play sound files and video, use multiple file upload things, perform cross-domain Ajax requests using the crossdomain.xml file etc. As such, I don't really want to learn (or pay for) the Flex IDE. I'm not much of an IDE guy in any case.
The problem is, most of the tutorials I've found talk about the IDE. I've figured out how to compile .mxml files at the command line using bin/mxmlc - now I just need to learn MXML, ActionScript and the various APIs! What are the best resources for learning these? I'm fine with buying a book, I just don't want to shell out for the API itself.
i have this flex app (it's a flex project created from flash builder), and it compiles fine when i build it from the IDE.it fails to compile when i do it from command line through mxmlc.i am invoking the mxmlc at the location "flash-builder-installation"sdks"flex-ver"inthe mxml file is test.mxml.i don't have any dependency on any of custom swc file.i am getting the following type errors when i compile it.[code]

View 3 RepliesWhen working on small projects or some test classes , I would prefer to quickly compile my code from the command line as opposed to creating a full Actionscript project in Flash Builder for instance.
In a previous similar question , an answer was given referring to this article:[URL]..but this is for Windows user...
I had a look at ProjectSprouts, which seems excellent but too heavy for the sort of task I'm looking for.
Would you know of any alternative approach that could be used to quickly compile a swf from the Terminal on Mac OSX?
Well i have an adobe air which runs vlc-player at background as service. i check that in Windows Task Manager , the service runs when air application launches.
here is the code
processArgs.push("--extraintf");
processArgs.push("rc"); //Remote control
processArgs.push("--rc-fake-tty"); //Use terminal as output

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to compile an existing Flex3 project with the Flex4 SDK. I'm getting this error:
Warning: This compilation unit did not have a factoryClass specified in Frame metadata to load the configured runtime shared libraries. To compile without runtime shared libraries either set the -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries option to true or remove the -runtime-shared-libraries option.The resulting file is roughly the same as my old Flex3 compiled .swf file. Playing the resulting .swf file in the Flash Player also gives the following errors:
An Actionscript error ocurred: VerifyError: Error #1014: Class spark.core::SpriteVisualElement could not be found If I set the compiler attribute static-link-runtime-shared-libraries to true, then the error disappears and all is well. However, the size of the resulting .SWF is a couple of 100K's bigger. And that's not what I want.
I don't fully understand the concept of runtime shared libraries, but it seems that with the option to statically link them set to true, the libraries are included in the .swf. However, I like to exclude them from the .swf and only load the needed library at runtime, as my project seemed to do with Flex3 (I didn't know that by the way).
If I understand correctly, playerglobal.swc should hold all the necessary code for the external libraries that my .swf has to load. Do Flex4 compiled files need more libraries? Should I do something with the factoryClass in the Frame metadata tag?
I think my question boils down to this: How do I compile a Flex4 .swf that is the same size as my previous Flex3 compiled .swf?
I would like to tak emy existing AS3 or Flex project and compile it to run on native C++ code. Is there a way to do this? What sort of solutions exist? I do not want to change my AS3 code.

I'd like to be able to write a .swf file that is runnable as a command line app. In other words, I would be able to create actionscript classes which can interact with stdin and stdout, and could then execute that .swf directly in the command line. I suspect that this isn't really possible. Can anyone confirm that? EDIT: A couple of the answers pointed out that using Flash for command line work probably isn't the best choice. I wholeheartedly agree in most situations. The reason I am asking about this is because I want to do some AS3 code generation, and reflecting on AS3 classes within the runtime would be easier than parsing the code or walking the intermediary XML that asdoc produces. I'm doing the XML approach now in Ruby, but would love to have a cleaner solution!
