Thanks for the info. I did get it to work, but through another method to yours:
My app is in the root, so I can't provide [webappname] as you've mentioned below. I provide "/" as context root in the MXMLC command line, but I also have to make some changes in the flex-config.xml file to accomodate the fact that my app is the root. Any references to "{context.root}/flashproxy" or similar in the flex-config.xml file were replaced with "{context.root}flashproxy". Note the removal of the "/" - wchich apparently gets added back in through the command line parameter. Anyway, I got it to work and have a working pre-compiled Flex app. John --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Kevin Langdon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Your contextroot needs to look like this: "-contextroot / [webappName]" > It takes a little while to get the properties set correctly for mxmlc but > once you do it works great. > > You also might want to check this out: > http://www.deitte.com/archives/2005/09/speeding_up_mxm.htm to take advantage > of class caching. > > Kevin > > -----Original Message----- > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of John Larson > Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2005 11:33 AM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] Compiling a Flex app using mxmlc > > I have a Flex app that's been running fine for some time.
