Hi Andrew, I believe that RoyaleApplicationFrame1Info is for SWF output only. Large parts of the files in the compiler and compiler-common projects are used in JS transpiling, but I don't think that one is. The JS output has its own factoryClass handling in MXMLRoyalePublisher.java.
Although, FWIW, the easier workaround may be to simply replicate the [Frame] metadata into the Application subclass.

If we have an MXML file that defines a class that derives directly from this (or from mx.core.Application) then we get an extra class auto-generated (below) which derives from mx.managers.SystemManager. The issue is, when our MXML file derives from another class, which itself extends the Spark (or MX) Application class, then this extra class isn't generated, the HTML just tries to call our application.start() method, and this doesn't add in the right glue code. From what I can see, there's a decision happening within the compiler: org.apache.royale.compiler.internal.targets.RoyaleApplicationFrame1Info where it's got a function: ApplicationAndModuleDefinitions.isApplicationOrModule() where the class definition is checked to see if it inherits from one of the Spark/MX/Halo application classes. The change seems simple: we just recurse here to walk up the inheritance of the given class definition, until we reach the top or find that we do derive from one of these... So I have a proposed change (and have pushed it to my github fork below) https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fajwfrost%2Froyale-compiler%2Fcommit%2F1c4ca15a05bd822a379e9f6fc2d3d03280806132&data=02%7C01%7Caharui%40adobe.com%7Cf987cdb6bbe74a7f6ac208d7c43b4c8c%7Cfa7b1b5a7b34438794aed2c178decee1%7C0%7C0%7C637193631280366080&sdata=wpEMwCp381gx17kXTteGjZjMfGjSrOhZL0W3TYe%2BmE8%3D&reserved=0 The issue here is that I can't work out how to test this change! I've compiled the compiler (at least, run 'ant' within the royale-compiler folder) and have also compiled the royale-asjs project after this ('ant all'), and have manually copied the jar files from royale-compiler\compiler\lib to royale-asjs\lib, but I'm not getting my new code being hit at all. So is anyone able to confirm whether this is actually the right place for the change, and how I can get the updated compiler code so that it's actually in use? I've tried running the compiler via Eclipse - I used to have this working but doing 'git pull' and getting all the recent updates has broken this somehow so I no longer have the compiler working for debugging it either.. thanks Andrew Generated class below - this is what I want to generate even if we derive from spark.components.Application via an intermediary class: /** * @constructor * @extends {mx.managers.SystemManager} */ test_mx_managers_SystemManager = function() { test_mx_managers_SystemManager.base(this, 'constructor'); this.mainClassName = test; }; goog.inherits(test_mx_managers_SystemManager, mx.managers.SystemManager); goog.exportSymbol('test_mx_managers_SystemManager', test_mx_managers_SystemManager); /** * @type {Object.<string, Array.<Object>>} */ test_mx_managers_SystemManager.prototype.ROYALE_CLASS_INFO = { names: [{ name: 'test_mx_managers_SystemManager', qName: 'test_mx_managers_SystemManager', kind: 'class' }]};
