Paul, Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I thought of using an Ant task, but I'm trying to use it as a custom Builder within FLEX, and I can't seem to figure out the correct way to do the launch configure. My ANT script is correct, but when I try to add it in the custom Builders dialog I get an error (during the build phase) that seems to indicate that the build system is trying to LAUNCH my XML script instead of feeding that xml file to ANT. Does anyone have experience setting a custom Builder?
