Re: [Flashcoders] RE: swf not compiling
You've got a point. I read (but I don't know this first hand) that CS4 uses the SDK compiler. Maybe it's a modified version to accomodate the IDE needs (compiling graphics and other assets that the SDK doesn't have to deal with: think moviclips with their timelines, animations, shapes, etc). Probably it uses mxmlc as a backend to compile Actionscript to bytecode or something like that. At the same time, I think it's fair to reckon that the IDE generally has more stuff to compile than FB in the typical project (again, graphical assets, encoding audio, etc). Too bad what you mention about the IDE team; I'm tempted to say that it shows, though.

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: swf not compiling
For me opening CS5 takes forever, but after that it works much, much better and faster than CS4. CS4 was just a plain dog. I went back till CS3, but now do all new work in CS5.

I know this doesn't add any value to the problem discussed here, but if you don't mind this little rant, I'd like to point out that the Flash IDE has gotten worse with every major release (to me at least). And I haven't tried CS5 yet. Seriously, the last usable one was probably Flash 8. Thank godness, I use the IDE very sparingly and somehow got used to the asinine way CS3 handles panels; CS4 impressed me as even worse in this and other UI aspects, and much slower (it kind of makes Eclipse look slick, which is quite an accomplishment) so I try to avoid it as much as I can.

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: swf not compiling
I did once get some really bizarre behaviour with a project that had a MovieClip in the library linked to a class but with a misspelt class name. Things just weren't happening and the IDE had conveniently constructed a class for me that did nothing. Meanwhile I was trying to work with classes that weren't being called. Maybe totally unrelated.

Your best bet might be same project, different .fla (or pure AS3 project in Flashbuilder). If that fails, not sure - re-install Flash Pro?

What happens when you put a trace in your Document class? And you're sure the document class is still linked to the .fla?

Sometimes .flas get > corrupt. And are you using a document class? Hi Jason, thanks for responding. Yes, I'm using a document class. I haven't rebuilt the swf. I will try that. What's strange is that as of 10 minutes ago, it's compiling. But that has been no guarantee, as it has been periodically not compiling for about two days now. I thought it might have been a corrupted component or graphic, but that doesn't seem to be the case as meticulously deleting individual library members didn't make a difference in trying to publish. If I rebuild the fla, I want to make it as lightweight as possible. I've written 36 classes for this project, totaling 430kb, with a few more still to go. Additionally, I'm importing some third party classes. I'm wondering if I'm running into some undocumented as3 code limit. One thing I was wondering about but can't find documentation is in the Advanced ActionScript 3.0 Settings panel in publish settings. I have no idea about the source path/library path/config constants tabs, but maybe it's sucking in too much to handle? When it "decides" it wants to compile, it takes a very long time to do so. - MM ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders -- This message w/attachments (message) is intended solely for the use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or proprietary.

Have you tried putting everything in a fresh new .fla? Sometimes .flas get corrupt. And are you using a document class?

My CS5 fla is not not compiling at all. It publishes a blank stage with no errors. I looked around online for some tips and found Steve Sacks' suggestion about some corrupt library item. I've replaced all existing components with new components and trial and error deleted all the other library graphics but it's still not publishing. Anyone have any suggestions? No compile errors are thrown, so I have no idea where to start.
