RE: [flexcoders] Flex Builder caching PNGs

[Jim Hayes]

From what I can tell FB will not detect changes in files (images, and I
believe css files) by itself, so if you change one then run/debug it
will think nothings different and just show the last compiled version.
 
When I'm doing stuff like that, I've got into the habit of just
adding/deleting a space character to one of the mxml or .as files in the
project, which FB will then notice and force a recompile that *does*
update the resource in the build. It's at least easier than renaming a
whole file.
 
If there's a better way then I'm unaware of it I'm afraid. It does still
catch me out from time to time.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex Builder caching PNGs
 
I'm @Embedding some PNGs to skin some buttons. 
If I Run once, then edit the PNG file, then Run again I get the old PNG
(w/o the edits), not the new one. 
My current work-around is to rename the file after each change, but this
is a pain. 
 
How do I get Flex Builder to not cache the PNGs / to check for changes
on each compile?
 
thanks

Hi Tom,

I had the same problem, did not really found a good solution... It seems
that flex does some kind of trancoding and this does not pick up changed...

What worked is to delete all images, recompile the project, get some errors
on missing resources and then paste the new images and recompile

I think there's a bug there somewhere.

What I do is go into the class where the embed tag is and make a  
change to the embed tag, then save, then make the change back again.  
Then run/debug.


Works for me, even though it is a bit of a PITA.

cheers,

jon
