I have a question regarding what people do in terms of project organization and distribution of source code for publication (say on a blog).
Here's my scenario: I've got a bunch of AS components, I would like to keep them all in one main Flex Library project, they're all part of the same top-level package. Now, what I'd like to do is be able to keep all the components I create in the same project, then create individual projects for the examples of how to use the components. So say I have Component A and Component B. The AS code for both components remains in my Library project. Now I want to blog about how I made Component A and I want to include an MXML example of how to use the component. What I want to publish is the source of the MXML file, along with the sources of the classes that I used for the example. So I want to include the MXML file and the source of Component A, but not the source of Component B. Ideally I'd like to be able to say Publish Source on my MXML project and specify that I want to include the source of certain classes in my Library Project. While in reality, the Flex compiler may be using the compiled SWC of the Library Project, I want to make it look like the component classes are within the MXML project when I publish the source. Am I making sense? One thought I had for my MXML project, instead of adding the SWC or the Library project to my build path, maybe I can add the directory of my Library project as an external source location for my MXML project. But if you link to a external source then Flex Builder doesn't let you include those external AS classes when you try to Publish Source. Also, I'd like to be able to easily make individual SWC files out of various classes, all of which are contained in the same Library Project. So instead of just always having one SWC file for a library project, I'd like to say, make a SWC file called SliderComponent.SWC and include certain specified classes, then make a SWC called AnimatedGifLoader.SWC and include different specified classes. Maybe the best I'm going to get is to file feature requests with Adobe and hope they get incorporated into FB 3 or later.
