[flexcoders] Re: Does the Embed metatag still work in the latest versions of the SDK?
Using Flex Builder 3 I had to add the leading slash to Embeds when using Ant as
well. I'm pretty sure one of the previous posters is right: it's all about the
paths and FB does some magic behind the scenes (adds a leading slash perhaps?)
that Ant doesn't.

I had this problem once and it turns out that when you are using Flex
builder it does some magic to the build path. This does not happen when
you build with ant and I had to move some files around so that mxmlc could
find everything. I believe that mxmlc can only see the src path and its sub
directories, someone correct me if I am wrong.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Does the Embed metatag still work in the latest versions of the SDK?
Hi,
I am using a leading slash in the path to the asset:
[Embed(source='/image_assets/ui/arrow.gif')]
Are you talking about a different path somewhere?
The thing is, it does compile, I would think if it couldn't find the class
at compile time then there would be a compile error (which there is when I
don't use a leading slash). But I get a runtime error:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.core::BitmapAsset could not be found.
I have tried explicitly importing BitmapAsset in the code, and using
BitmapAsset as the cast of the instance when I create it, all to no avail.
Can anyone else compile an actionscript project against the latest builds
(Flex 4 Beta 2 and later) using ant, that employs the {Embed] metatag?
I would file a bug - but I am not sure exactly where the bug lies - in the
compiler or the SDK or the player, or indeed if there is actually a bug at
all - perhaps there has been a change in the way the [Embed] metatag works,
or a new compiler instruction, or something .
