Renaun, We use ANT on developer machines and on the server for deployment. Typically a single build.xml file sits in the root of the SVN repository for a project. We typically define tasks for incremental SWF and RSL compilation, java compilation, and larger tasks for ground up builds. The

The real key to ANT is leveraging the depends property. target name=flex.build depends=rsl.build / In this case calling ANT flex.build, will first run rsl.build just before running flex.build. depends allows you to create a very large build from very small encapsulated _ From:

thats the fastest for sure. personally i use mxmlc directly,but it gets a wee bit slow when the project gets big. one of my team members tried the fastmxmlc but according to him there weren't any/very little increase in compile timesOn 3/22/06, Renaun Erickson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: After

hear hear on what david says. using ant we update from svn build unit tests app using mxmlc, if all tests pass use mxmlc to build app so yeah it has its benefits :) so it is critical to the process asOn 3/22/06, Dave Wolf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That depends what you mean by better.In Flex

this is both for develpers (developer chooses which target to compile - unitests,app or all) and our continues integration server. we only deploy a swf to production.On 3/22/06, Renaun Erickson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Johannes for insight.Is this what you do as a developer on a dev

My question then would be, is the speed of compilation a main factor in the choice of compilation methods? well as i orignally stated the appserver approach is the fastest, so if its speed you are after, yeah go for it. some of the larger projects i have worked on has taken up to a 1:30 but

i have not been able to get mxmlc working like i want to in flex2 using ant yet. (i spent about 30 minutes trying so...). my approach for unit tests in flex2 is currently to have a second entry point (mx:Application) in my app and basically having 2 bowsers open, one running my unit tests and
