You point to a directory, it uses what's in that directory, but won't go any deeper than that.
hence why he states:
-pack
path : compile all the files contained in specified package - not recursively (eg to compile files in c:\flash\code\my\app do mtasc -cp c:\flash\code -pack my/app).When Nicolas talks about CP's, he doesn't mean recursively - he means you have to add all directories:
-cp path : add a directory path to the ClassPath : this is the list of directories that MTASC will use to look for .as files. You can use several times -cp to add several directories.I will say, that in trying to figure all of this out with MTASC I saw several times where I didn't need to include a CP for some reason. but later, when I added a new class to the project, I got an error about having to include them later on.

I don't believe this is correct. I just tried it. I removed all the -pack options from the mtasc build file, and it seemed to do just fine figuring out what needed to be included.

Subject: Re: [osflash] [Flasc] New version of FLASC
ah ok, here's some explanations:
1. MTASC doesn NOT recurse. So you do have to put in each class OR you can
specify a package. So, instead of adding a file, add a package. Go to the
project/as folder and click ok. Flasc will add this as a new global cp in
the preferences and use it in your new project.
2. Global class paths in Flasc can be set in preferences. BUT, for a
single project to use them, you have to add a package. That's the only way
a project knows which cp to include is when you include packages. I know,
this might seems awkward, but it's the way it is right now and I'm totaly
open to suggestion on how to make this easier.
Mtasc just doesn't recurse like the Flash IDE does - not even -pack
recurses. It just uses all the files in that directory.
So, if you have:
classes/com/blitzagency
classes/com/blitzagency/util
classes/com/blitzagency/controls
classes/com/blitzagency/xray
you have to add all those as packages if you want all the files to be
included.
Now, the good news is, FLASC let's you point to the classes folder and
recurses FOR YOU and brings back all the possible packages that have classes
in them.
Does that help?
