Jumping in a bit late here... but, I build on the command line using ant
after checking code out of a cvs repos.
Here are the pertinent sections from my build script...
<!-- Need this in order to define the flex tasks that we will use -->
<taskdef resource="flexTasks.tasks"
classpath="${proj.dir.thirdparty}/flex/ant_tasks/flexTasks.jar" />
<!-- compile the flex code -->
<target name="compileFlex" depends="cleanFlex">
<echo message="building flex source"/>
<mxmlc
file="${tait-flex.dir.src}/MainView.mxml"
output="${proj-flex.dir.bin}/MainView.swf"
actionscript-file-encoding="UTF-8"
keep-generated-actionscript="true"
accessible="false"
incremental="false">
<load-config
filename="${proj.dir.flex}/frameworks/flex-config.xml"/>
<source-path path-element="${proj-flex.dir.src}"/>
<compiler.library-path
dir="${proj-flex.dir.thirdparty}/adobe/" append="true">
<include name="libs" />
<include name="datavisualization.swc" />
</compiler.library-path>
</mxmlc>
<echo message="done building flex source"/>
</target>
Notes: You will need to download the flexTasks.jar jar
<http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Ant_Tasks> file, and you may
not need the datavisualization stuff... I have that for AdvancedDataGrid.

Well that's exactly what I'm planning to do. I have a development
server setup and I have a powershell script which can checkout
specific revisions of code. The next step from here is to build those
revisions and that's when I hit the brick wall J

Depending on how you want to work from the command-line, there are
also automated ways of doing it, using ant or maven. For one-shot
efforts, or to test things out it's probably not worth it, but if
you're going to build often from the command-line, you might want to
consider using an automated build system and configure it to work with
your config.

Christian.
