[Flashcoders] Preventing Compilation of components and source code
Hey All, I'm trying to build an application with distributed swf's, which contain components and have linkages to external source code files. One thing I've come across is that some of the same code references and components are being used across my files (ie. I'm using a radio button in 4 different places). I'd like to prevent the code from compiling over and over again into each of these files and make one file that contains all of the code for the application. Does anyone know any tutorials or references I can read up on how to do this? And can u tell me if what I'm suggesting is just crazy and impossible?

You might want to look into compiled clips and SWCs (to avoid redundant compilations of a component during development), and shared libraries (to share components at run-time between multiple SWFs and reduce total bandwidth usage). Unfortunately, these techniques are relatively advanced topics and have historically been somewhat of a black art. In particular, they aren't terribly well-documented in the documentation or third-party literature and tend towards some idiosyncratic and unexpected behavior. If you're all buckled in, here's a few links to get you started: Adobe LiveDocs on Compiled Clips and SWCs livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/2940.html Adobe Flash TechNote on Using Shared Libraries http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14767 Mario Klingemann's Blog Post on Shared Libraries http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000227.php Jim ___ 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
RE: [Flashcoders] Preventing Compilation of components and source code
Add an xml exclude file for each swf you want classes excluded from. The xml file should be named [yourswfname]_exclude.xml e.g. You have an fla named nx_core.fla It imports a class com.nx.sdk.core.SomeClass but you will load it from another swf that exports it. You create an xml file called nx_core_exclude.xml and place it in the same dir as the fla. You place the following inside the xml file: excludeAssets asset name=com.nx.sdk.core.SomeClass/asset asset name=com.nx.sdk.core.SomeOtherClass/asset /excludeAssets Compile and check out the swf with ASV and you will see that the classes were not included. Now load you swf after the swf that contains the classes and everything works just dandy. regards ~neo -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lori Hutchek Sent: 29 June 2006 05:23 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Preventing Compilation of components and source code Hey All, I'm trying to build an application with distributed swf's, which contain components and have linkages to external source code files.
