Flex :: Use The Mxmlc Task Of The Ant Tasks With A User-definable List Of Source Path Or Library Paths?
Jun 10, 2010
use the mxmlc task of the Flex Ant tasks with a user-definable list of source path or library paths? The idea is that the user can define an arbitrary list of source paths and/or library (swc) paths into an Ant properties file and the build file takes these values and evaluates them for use in the mxmlc task. Just wondering if there are any tricks (maybe utilizing filtering/string replacing) to get this working?

I'm trying to build a flex project, linking it to some RLSs. When setting up the project in Flex Builder, the corresponding "build configuration" (that I got by adding -dump-config to the compiler options) generates (among other things) a tag like this :
<runtime-shared-libraries>
<url>some-lib.swf</url>
<url>some-other-lib.swf</url>
[Code]....

the same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.

Has anyone noticed the following behavior building Flex programs using the mxmlc ANT task (running in the background): as the MXMLC task starts, it steals the window focus from whatever application is currently running, and then gives it back again! This is extremely disruptive.Is there a way to run the MXMLC task "headless" so it doesn't interact at all with the window system?I'm running on Mac OS X (10.5.8, if that matters), and Flash 4.0.1 (although the behavior existed on 3.x as well).

I've tried using the haltonfailure="false" and failureproperty="compile.failed" but ant just throws an error when I try to run it: "The <mxmlc> type doesn't support the "haltonfailure" attribute." I need to do a little cleanup before the build script exits if the mxmlc task fails, how do I achieve this?

I am coming from flash to flashbuilder I have a directory, AS3_classes_dir, on my computer that stores all of my classes, including my greensock and papervision packages. In every flash app that I make I include that directory in the Source Path, so that I can import whatever I may need. Compiling in flash (using ctrl/enter) takes very little time; only the classes that are specifically imported are compiled.So today I did that in flashbuilder, included AS3_classes_dir via Flex Build Path/Source Path ... but now the compile time are a couple of minutes, even though I am not even importing ANY of the classes from within.

So inside my src folder I have my app.mxml file. I have a source directory pointed to my actionscript library.It appears that Flex does not look inside that source directory including an .as file within the master mxml file.
Code:
<mx:Script source="com/domain/something/somethingelse/app.as"/>
I could just have the main app.as file inside the src folder along with my app.mxml file but it would be nice if it could live in the actionscript library.

My ant buildfiles tell mxmlc.jar to recompile target mxml source. However, if the target mxml source file has not changed, either ant or mxmlc is ignoring the file and will not create a new swf. This is an annoyance because I'm editing files imported by the target mxml. I need it to rebuild when those files change. I'm guessing that the mxmlc is creating a cache file somewhere and comparing the target mxml (or maybe just a hash). Is this what is happening? What's the standard work-around? At the moment, I'm editing the target mxml just to cause a file change.

I was wondering if it possible to write up some AS that will take line paths that you have drawn and convert them into a Path object? For example say you drew a jagged line from left to write, would there be a way to have AS convert that into a Path object.

I'm a complete newbie regarding Flash development, but I've been tasked with automating SWF creation from an AVI source (and quickly!). Once the SWF is finished playing it should endlessly loop from the last frame to about 5 seconds prior to the end frame. Think of a speaking character, followed by some idle movements. We want the idle movements to endlessly loop. What I've done/need to do is:
1) Automate the creation of the AVI. Done.
2) Convert the AVI to SWF (using FFmpeg). Done.
3) Write Actionscript to detect the last frame, and then jump
to some other frame.
4) Merge the SWF with the actionscript and produce a new SWF which is then placed on a website.
Being a newbie to Flash, I'm overwhelmed by the array of options out there for something so simple in concept. I'm looking for a command line solution so everything can be completely automated. My questions are: Can steps 3 & 4 be done with the FlexSDK? What would the steps be to get something like this accomplished?

Here's the issue: I have three files in the same package: com.foobar
The directory to these files is:
C:..mylibrarysrccomfoobar
then inside I have foo.as and bar.as
When I try to run mxmlc C:..mylibrarysrccomfoobarfoo.as I get the error:
A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure ' ', as the definition's package, 'com.foobar'.
To that I say: it does. The package is com.foobar. The structure goes ..[url]....I've found a few other forum posts on the web about this error, and it seemed like the user had to make the directory matching the package name, which I already have.

I would like to do something like this URl...but have the individual lines animate and show progress along a route. It needs to be a 'real' map so that I can feed in LAT/Longs for for the polylines. This is also a similar effect URL... but I don't need the map panning.I am aware of the google maps api for Flash but there doesn't seem to be any animation other than panning.

Is there a way to add paths to the Flash runtime search path for loading files? Say I want to load myXML.xml and its down in /myDir1/myDir2/myXML.xml. Is there any way I can add "/myDir1/myDir2" to the search path so I can just load using the string "myXML.xml" INSTEAD of loading by the full path "/myDir1/myDir2/myXML.xml"? My directory structure will be changing on a semi-regular basis so I can't hard-code the direct path to the file.

I recently switched a Flex project over to using RSLs. It built fine for quite a while but has recently dug its heels in and is giving me this error:configuration variable 'runtime-shared-library-path' requires a value for 'rsl-url'I went through all the flex XML files I could find and either this value doesn't exist or there are entries available for it. Nowhere did I see a <rs-url></rs-url> with no value.

I stumbled upon the need to find out (inside Java code) which files are dynamically loaded by an SWF-file. Is there any possibility to get a list of paths of every object referenced inside? I tried out some libraries without proper documentation and gave up. Maybe there is an external tool which can be accessed by Java via command line?

On this page are listed Source, Library, and External Library lists. I am working on a large flash project with hundreds of files. It appears that CS4 caches a copy of my fla's similarily named folders here, EVERY time I publish my files. These lists are now hundreds and hundreds of items long. I want to clear these lists, but the only option I can find is the minus sign.
Is there a way to wipe these lists clean, or, does anyone know an external xml file or such (i have serached), where this data is stored so I can manually remove it.

I am making a flash app where I want to have a user defined viewport like the stage in the flash IDE which the user can use to define objects that have a starting postition somerwhere off or on the stage and an ending position either or on or off the stage with the object then tweening between the two points. My question is this: I want the user to be able to define a curved path for the object to tween along. Is there a library of code that I can use to define curved paths for the app?
Ideally I would like something similar to the functionality available in Flash, so a bezier curve sort of path that is subdivided into handles that can be dragged to define the path of the tween. If there isn't an existing library, then do you know of the functions that I would need to define (mathematical equations related to drawing curves etc)?

i would like to make my code easier to read by replacing long paths with variables, or something similar. in my code, i can target an instance many times, but the instance can have a lengthy path deep within the display list. for example: myButton instance could be located at myButtonsPanel.section2.redArea.myButton, or something like that. is it possible to substitue this long path as a variable or constant? something like: var myPath = myButtonsPanel.section2.redArea; therefore, calling the instance would be: myPath.myButton;

I'm attempting to compile my Flex project with an ANT build script.One of my MXML components references an external XML data file, like this:
<mx:XML id="treeData" source="assets/data/help.xml" />
When I build the project using Flex Builder, it compiles fine. However, when I try to compile it using ANT, I get the following error:
Error: Problem finding external XML: assets/data/help.xml
How come ANT isn't finding the XML file? Apparently it knows the source path otherwise it would not have found the component to begin with. I added the source path to the target anyway, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference:
<source-path path-element="${SRC}" />

I have made a program in Flex for creating simple schedules, similar to MS Project or Vico Control. I have one problem that I would like to solve. (You can see it here: OnTime Project Scheduling tool made in Flex
The tasks of the schedule are represented as Gantt Chart, for which I created a itemRenderer inside one of the rows in the DataGrid. The tasks are shown as gantt diagrams, but I would also like to show the connectivity between tasks.
take a look at the image below, to see what I am trying to accomplish here: (above is the image of how datagrid looks now, and below is the thing I would like to add)
how I could do this inside DataGrid's item renderer?
