[Flashcoders] Flash wish: Omit comments on publish
I've always wondered why there is no option to omit comments when publishing a SWF. We all try comment our code as much as possible and at times it can double (or more) the number of lines of code in an application. This would especially make sense when using other people's classes or extensions (which are normally highly commented for everyone to understand).

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash wish: Omit comments on publish
When you decompile a SWF, you can see the comments right?

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash wish: Omit comments on publish
Comments are not compiled. If you decompile a swf with commented code, you will not see the comments. If you have tons of comments in your code, you may need to improve your coding practices and naming conventions. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Am I wrong in thinking that comments are included in a SWF when it's published? Comments are not included in the output SWF bytecode. You easily verify that this is indeed the case for yourself with a SWF decompiler or by examining the SWF file format specification (available free from Adobe with registration and agreement to the license terms). Trace statements, on the other hand, are included by default, but can be omitted in your publish preferences.
