Haven't used any, but asked this just yesterday on FlashLite and was directed to these links, some of which you already covered:

HAMTASC: http://www.osflash.org/hamtasc#preprocessing_actionscript ----- Original Message ----- From: "Grant Cox" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 10:47 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] Actionscript preprocessor I am currently using Eclipse, MTASC and ANT for my development (on Windows), and this is working well. However, while I currently have "release" and "debug" ANT targets, these really only change a couple of MTASC compile options (ie tracing). I have decided that a better solution is needed, to allow a "release" build to exclude NetDebug, to automatically change some config options, and also to integrate build numbers. So, preprocessing. After some searching, I found cpp ( http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/ ), filepp ( http://www.cabaret.demon.co.uk/filepp/ ), and jappo ( http://jappo.opensourcefinland.org/ ). However. cpp - linux application, the only Windows version I can see is via cygwin. And installing this on every development machine, for a single utility seems overkill. Plus, cpp seems to have the least features, and the filepp docs suggest it may leave strange comments in output files. filepp - Perl module, which should be fine (all development machines have ActivePerl installed). Except the download contains source files, and a bash script to create the application. So, again I'm kind of stuck being on Windows. jappo - Java .jar, with ANT integration. Sounds perfect. Except that after I work out how to reference the jar correctly in EclipseAnt and it runs, it gives errors about missing classes (ie "org/apache/xpath/XPathAPI" ). I downloaded the XPath addon for Eclipse, but this didn't help. I can't run any of the jappo samples either, as I don't have the Java SDK (currently downloading). Has anyone successfully used a preprocessor for Actionscript on Windows, and do you have any suggestions?
