Re: [Flashcoders] reducing build times
In the Flash IDE, you can convert movie clips in the library into compiled clips. Select your movie clips, right click, and select Convert to Compiled Clip. This will pre-compile these movie clips, and their linkage IDs (if any) will also remain intact. I've done this in the past with movie clips for custom skins, and it saved a heap load of time from the compile process. I had one movie clip as a placeholder that contained a copy of all the other movie clips. Compiling the one movie clip automatically included all the other ones in the compiled clip. The one thing is that make sure you save your original movie clips in another file, as once you convert then delete the original clip, the compiled clip is not editable.

3rd party compilers are reported to be ridiculously faster than the IDE. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nathan Derksen Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2006 8:09 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] reducing build times In the Flash IDE, you can convert movie clips in the library into compiled clips.

Thanks Mark, I'll look into it.
