I'm using modules to break up my app into smaller chunks. I was following the advice to create multiple projects (one for the main app, one for each module) and link from the main app to the compiled modules' SWF files that I've seen on this list as well as the revamped Module documentation when I ran into a problem. It was my understanding that I could create links from the main application bin folder to the SWFs in the module projects bin folders. However, the standalone version of Flex Builder 2.0.1 displays an error in the "New File" dialog stating "Cannot create linked resource module.swf. Linked resources must have a project as their parent." if I attempt to create the resource link in any of the project subdirectories. The error disappears if I select the main project folder as the parent. This is really frustrating! Flex Builder won't compile a file into a SWF (by marking it as an application) unless it is in the project root. I thought that creating separate projects for modules and linking to their SWF files would get around this limitation, only to find it is just as limited. Am I really going to have to place the source files for my shell app and all of my modules in a single project root directory just so Flex Builder will build and place all of them in a single bin folder? I've already spent the past two days learning about Ant scripting so I could compile source files that weren't in the project root. Once I got that to work, I found that coding errors no longer show up in the "Problems" view (bye bye double-clicking to open the file and jump to the problem line) and the "Run" and "Debug" buttons won't launch the compiled app. What is the right way to make all of this work? -- WARNING ------- This electronic message and its attachments may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information, which is solely for the use of the intended recipient.
