RE: [flexcoders] Flex2.0: MXMLC compiler is a big pain during migration from 1.5 to 2.0

Using command line compiler may help (like Ant compilation even better – makes sure every file is compiled).   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Johannes Nel Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 3:41 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flex2.0: MXMLC compiler is a big pain during migration from 1.5 to 2.0   if you had unit tests everything would be linked autmatically to the compiler. a good argument for best practises no... anyway, i suggest you check out this: http://www.lennel.org/blog/2006/03/02/an-advantage-of-unit-testing-with-flex2as3/ and this: someone said beta 2 is being released pretty soon http://www.lennel.org/blog/2006/02/27/building-unit-tests-in-eclipse-from-an-ant-script-for-asunit/ to do that automatically for you. you can grab flex unit and modify the templates for that as well. to run ant you need to install the plugin version into a normal eclipse btw (Adobe please add ant support to the non plugin version!!)

Created a project in Flex 2 builder with empty content. 2. Copied MXML folders/files 3. Copied AS folders/files and Cairngorm 2 packages 4. Modified all my AS files to follow the new package  convention 5. Made sure all the vars have a datatype defined. 6. Modified Void to void for all the functions. (this is the stupidest thing in the world)   Now my real problem with Flex 2 builder is that it doesnt really show the compilation problem in AS files until you try to instantiate the object in MXML files. Now I have a ClientVO.as class until I do the following in MXML file, I wouldnt know what the real problem in ClientVO.as is:                                         var client : ClientVO = new ClientVO();   Please, save me some nightmares by  suggesting or sharing your experiences in working with Flex 2.0 or during migration from Flex 1.5 to Flex 2.0     -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice     YAHOO!
