As I said in at the beginning of my last reply, I don’t know what it will
take to get FB to accept these definitions from js.swc. I understand it
will make it easier for you and others to contribute once we get FB
working on these projects, but I would much prefer not to have to take the
time to figure it out for the core_js_to_as branch until we are mostly
done with the back port and have restructured the folders to a more final
topology. Otherwise, I think I will have to keep stopping to tweak the
projects as we go and the whole thing will take longer. Do you really
have to have code hinting to get started on this XML library? Or maybe
just start coding it in a temporary package for now. You can probably add
some glue code to the output to map that class to the global scope.
The COMPILE::JS flag only controls what code the compiler has to compile,
not what definitions it is pulling in from various SWCs.
From the command-line with Ant, I just tried building the Core project by
switching to frameworks/projects/Core and then:
1) ran “ant -Dis.jenkins=true all” which proved it could build cleanly but
skipped the tests
2) Edited Application.as and inside a COMPILE::JS block added:
var foo:DOMParser = null;
var bar:Document = null;
3) ran “ant -Dis.jenkins=true all” again to see if would compile.
It was missing DOMParser which I just added and pushed to flex-falcon so
sync up and at least run “ant extern.swcs” there. Then step 3 worked for
me.
Please first try the Ant steps so at least we know that works for you.
