In these project directories, you should find:
./as - AS written against Flash (Sprite, TextField, etc) for SWF output
./asjs - AS that is written against abstractions to be used in a SWF or
cross-compiled to js
./js/src - JS that is handwritten to be used on the JS side.
./js/out - JS that was cross-compiled from ./asjs
The task is how to get rid of ./js/src and replace it with AS written
against js.swc. I only tried Network/HTTPService and decided that
conditional compiling would be better, but I haven’t figured out how to
deal with different base classes like HTMLElementWrapper in js/src but not
in as. IOW, UIBase has different base classes at some point (Sprite vs
HTMLElementWrapper). If conditional compilation works everywhere that’s
awesome, but if we need some other folder full of .as that only compiles
against js.swc that’s fine too. We won’t know until we really try it. I
wasn’t going to try right now so feel free if that’s what you want to work
on.
What happens in the build script is that ./as and ./asjs are compiled into
a SWC with COMPC just to make sure it compiles cleanly since it runs
faster than COMPJSC so we find errors sooner. Then COMPJSC compiles
./asjs into ./js/out. Then we run COMPC again to pack the ./js folder
into the SWC. Someday the COMPJSC probably need to be able to pack the js
directly into the SWC so we don’t have to run COMPC twice, or maybe we
should skip the first run of COMPC.
Thanks,
