Hi Alex, thanks for your response. No worries, I wasn't expecting an instant response and less so on the weekend. :)
I just answered my own question because I absolutely hate it when I'm searching the net and I find someone asking exactly the question that I need answered, but no answer is posted! :) I have a follow up question if you don't mind please. I'll send it in a new thread. > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Sat, 23 Nov 2013 21:02:56 -0800 > Subject: Re: how to compile MXML module with ANT > > > > On 11/23/13 6:05 PM, "David Coleman" <[email protected]> wrote: > > >I will answer my own question.
