Thanks for the response Dimitrios. I guess I need to be more specific. I'm drawing a parallel between mxml file and a jsp file and I am trying to get the mxml file to compile *like* a jsp file.
In a J2EE environment (say Tomcat), I write a jsp using custom jsp tags, ensure that the jar files that contain the TagLibs and the corresponding classes are in the class path of the server and when my server encounters a URL ending in .jsp, it knows to compile the .jsp into a servlet that then sends HTML in the response to the server. I am looking for a similar way to achieve this behavior when I write a .mxml file. Using Flex Builder as an eclipse plugin is great for unit testing where I can see the results of the swf in a browser launched from my IDE. However, how can I achieve this when I am using Tomcat. I thought LCDS was the way to achieve this. You have stated that that is not the case. In other words how can I get from a .mxml to a .swf (that my browser can display) in one step. OR.. is it necessary to do a two-step process, where I compile into a .swf and then bundle the swf with my J2EE artifact for deployment. If this is the case, then how can I supply a filename to my swf dynamically. I hope I am clear..er now :) Thanks for your responses and patience!
