Hi Derrick, From the quick test I did, it /is/ an issue. I too looked into modifying the URL. I was going to use ANT to automate it all, incrementing versions, and changing URLs but I've since abandoned that plan. Here is what I'm now doing...
I have a couple of different library projects that store shared code bases at different levels of abstraction. I have a primary or shell application, a Flex project in Flex Builder, that is responsible for loading and managing modules. It references the libraries as well as the Flex framework with Link Type set to "Merged into code". This way only what is needed from the libs is actually pulled in. I've been experimenting with different scenarios for my modules. Currently, my modules are Flex Projects. Originally I had them linking to my library projects with Link Types set to "External". But, this presents a problem. Say the module uses a DataGrid but no where in the shell application is DataGrid referenced. When the module is loaded the DataGrid does not exist and a runtime exception occurs. I decided to set the Link Types to "Merged into code" and use the -load-externs compiler flag that points to the shells link report. Unfortunately, I can't get the -load-externs to do anything. The module SWF is still rather large even when I pull all of its dependencies into the shell. I'm probably not doing something right. Maybe the link report can't be used as-is for the -load-externs flag? Not sure. Derrick Grigg wrote: > Hi Paul, > > That is exactly my concern.
