I'm development a library of interactive sound effects in Action
Script 3 using Flex Builder. I've got loads of experience with audio
coding on various platforms in various languages (especially C++).
However, I'm relatively new to Flash development, so I have some
(perhaps naive) questions about how to package the library. Perhaps
some of you can help.
Until now, I've been thinking of packaging the library as a SWC, but
after some investigation, it seems that flash components are normally
packaged & sold as MXP files, e.g. on sites like flashloaded.com. As
far as I can tell, Flex Builder doesn't provide any way to directly
create an MXP.
Is there some extra plugin for Flex Builder for creating an MXP? Or
is there some separate tool that can create an MXP from a SWC?
I've seen the Adobe Extension Manager mentioned in the context of
MXPs... but from what I've read so far, it sounds like it manages
loading of MXPs, rather than their creation. I've seen some docs on
MXI files, which appear to simply be XML files for defining what goes
into an MXP... but I still haven't figured out what tool will read in
an MXI and files to which it refers to generate an MXP... any tips
would be most welcome!
I'm developing on a Mac, btw, but can easily switch to using Windows
if the tools available on Windows are better.
