I actually posted on the flash developr forum back when i posted this because I had found a few issues with SWC integration in FD. Good to see they have added this functionality, I’m not doing as much flash development these days so I’m not as aware of the changes coming out.

I’m not sure if you’ve check the export swc plugin for flashdevelop out yet We can explicitly exclude classes from swc build so it’s very cool and handy.

@p48l0 – If it were that simple do you think I would have written a post? SWC files compile all dependencies as well, and unless an external resource is specified to compile against, which is exactly what the methods in this post are designed to do, all of your class dependencies will be included in your SWC. Moreover you could just as easily make a reference to a class in a doc class to do what you said, no need to do anything with lib items:

pseudo code:

import Foo;

Foo;

Thats literally all it takes – compile a SWC with that class reference and it’ll suck in all the dependencies all the way down the line by default, if thats what you were looking to do.

that, or could just make a movie clip extends a class that internally links all the classes and right click and export it as an SWC… lol

Hi Jeff,

Would you mind explaining in a bit more details how to create swc files from Flash CS4 packages (especially the fl.video and fl.transition, but probably the whole fl.* package) using either the Flash CS4 IDE or Flex3.

Thanks,
Peter

I use this technique for my new flash project and it’s working great

Thanks for sharing Jeff
