The most common way to do this is to generate a link-report from the shell and use load-externs when building the sub-swf.
Keep in mind that by doing so you commit the sub-swf to be linked with and running the same version of Flex as the shell. The Marshal Plan in Flex 3.2 is a way to build sub-swfs w/o requiring same versions. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of aaron smith Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2008 1:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: SWF file format question - SymbolClass Tag Hey Gordon, The reason I wanted to remove a class was because I have two swfs - a shell, and some other swfs, and didn't want the same class compiled into every swf - thereby wasting K. So i was looking for a way to manual remove a class from sub-swfs. -A On Sun, Dec 21, 2008 at 12:55 PM, aaron smith <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks, externs is pretty much what I was looking for. > > On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 9:02 PM, Alex Harui <[email protected]> wrote: >> There are three mxmlc options: >> >> >> >> -load-externs (removes all files listed from some other -link-report >> >> -compiler.external-library-path (remove all files from a SWC) >> >> -externs (removes a class) >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On >> Behalf Of Gordon Smith >> Sent: Friday, December 19, 2008 4:47 PM >> >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: SWF file format question - SymbolClass Tag >> >> >> >> Also, I'm pretty sure that there is some compiler option you can use to >> prevent specific classes from getting linked in.
