Yeah, this one is annoying. I don't use the Compile locally option just because of this issue. I have it compile on the server. Definately something that should be filed with Adobe though. I keep meaning to file a wish request for this, I'll make some time to do that today. Dustin Mercer

There is no reason for flex builder to prevent the user from specifying any folder he likes for the build output. For FDS applications, it seems the flex builder is limited to generating compiler output in a folder that is inside the web application folder. While the intentions are good, FDS should certainly not prevent the user from placing the output in root of the web application folder and not in a folder inside the web application folder. in other words flexbuilder will build this webapps mywebappfolder myflexappfolder yada.html yada.swf but flexbuilder will not build this: webapps mywebappfolder yada.html yada.swf which makes it very hard to make an app domain www.appname.com instead of www.appname.com/somefoldername without apache or some other indirection Regards Hank On 11/4/06, hank williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:hank777%40gmail.com> > wrote: > It sounds like you are letting FDS compile for you on the server.
