The compiler knows how to read Google Complier extern files. Most of the typedefs are created from those.
There’s actually a two-step process for generating the typedefs. It first creates ActionScript stubs, and then generates the swc from that. It download the extern files as part of the build process. If you are starting from scratch, it’s definitely possible to generate the swcs from ActionScript stubs, but since most of the typedefs we need have Google extern files, that’s not necessary.
