Heya John,
Yeah, being able to define your own destinations is something I had considered.
Can't remember now why at the time I decided not to implement that.
"$Flash\External libraries" indeed is missing.
Think that has something to do with the fact that I wanted to match each
destination in the dropdown with an extension type (as they
are listed in the mxi file format specs) and "$Flash\External libraries" falls
under a few extension types (Flash Behaviors, Flash
Effect, Flash Commands).
To be honest, I think I just overlooked it in the end and forgot to add it ;-)
Afterall it's been about 2-3 years since I last looked at the code, hehe..
As for those custom paths: e.g. "$flash/blitz/jsfl/commands"
You could have used: "$flash/Commands/blitz/jsfl"
Files stored in a subfolder of 'Commands' do not show up in the commands menu
in the Flash IDE, if that's what you were worried
about.
kind regards,
Muzak

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] bug in MXI File Creator
for Flasc, here's what I had to do to get the FileSystem.dll to go into the
External Libraries directory:
<files>
<file name="FLASC.swf" destination="$flash/WindowSWF/" />
<file name="FLASC\getClassFiles.jsfl"
destination="$flash/Commands/FLASC" />
<file name="FLASC\getFlashLocation.jsfl"
destination="$flash/Commands/FLASC" />
<file name="External Libraries\FileSystem.dll"
destination="$flash/External Libraries/" platform="win" />
</files>
Here's another tool that uses a "blitz" folder to place it's jsfl files
into:
<files>
<file name="BLITZ Commands.swf" destination="$flash/WindowSWF/" />
<file name="blitz\jsfl\RunCommand.jsfl"
destination="$flash/blitz/jsfl" />
<file name="blitz\jsfl\commands\CreateBaseTimeLine.jsfl"
destination="$flash/blitz/jsfl/commands" />
<file name="blitz\jsfl\commands\CreateExcludeXML.jsfl"
destination="$flash/blitz/jsfl/commands" />
<file name="blitz\jsfl\commands\CreateGraphicButton.jsfl"
destination="$flash/blitz/jsfl/commands" />
<file name="blitz\jsfl\commands\Library_Bitmap_Batcher.jsfl"
destination="$flash/blitz/jsfl/commands" />
<file name="blitz\jsfl\library\NewGraphicButton.jsfl"
destination="$flash/blitz/jsfl/library" />
<file name="blitz\jsfl\timeline\BaseAnimatedTimeline.jsfl"
destination="$flash/blitz/jsfl/timeline" />
</files>
You don't have a selection for that in your dropdown ;) It'd be nice to be
able to edit that for custom placement.
