injecting abc into a swc

It's not as simple as that<br />my particular need is that I don't depend on playerglobal.swc nor airglobal.swc<br />I'm direclty targeting builtin.abc and toplevel.abc from the Tamarin project<br />and this using only ASC, not MXMLC<br /><br />I thought first that I needed a SWC, but in fact it's much simpler<br />to just slighty edit Flex Builder config<br /><br />that way you can edit any *.as files, even the builtin<br />or define/fake equivalent of the Flash Player API<br />like flash.system.Capabilities<br />(see http://hg.mozilla.org/tamarin-central/file/5799c215dc3c/shell/toplevel.as )<br /><br />have them complety in sync with the code completion in Flex Builder<br />without errors or code completion colision (from the Global.as)<br /><br />cheers,<br />zwetan<br /><br />On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 10:29 PM, Josh McDonald <member@adobeforums.com> wrote:<br />> A new message was posted by Josh McDonald in<br />><br />> Developers --<br />> injecting abc into a swc<br />><br />> Can't you just compile-time create some throwaway .as files via inspecting<br />> the .abcs, [embed] the classes and generate a swc?

thanks :)<br /><br />I described more in detail the process here<br />http://code.google.com/p/redtamarin/wiki/Main#IDE<br /><br />cheers,<br />zwetan<br /><br />On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 9:40 PM, Bjorn Schultheiss<br /><member@adobeforums.com> wrote:<br />> A new message was posted by Bjorn Schultheiss in<br />><br />> Developers --<br />> injecting abc into a swc<br />><br />> nice one zwetan!<br />><br />> ________________________________<br />> View/reply at injecting abc into a swc<br />> Replies by email are OK.<br />> Use the unsubscribe form to cancel your email subscription.<br />><br />>

nice one zwetan!

thank you a lot Jono for those infos<br /><br />basically my goal was to generate a swc I could use in Flex Builder<br />but to write AS code targeted at Tamarin (not Flash Player),<br />I thought generating a SWC of global.abc, toplevel.abc could be neat<br /><br />and finally I went the route of overwriting the Global.as you can find in<br />/.metadata/.plugins/com.adobe.flexbuilder.codemodel/extraClassPath<br />with an empty file, and simply externally link the tamarin *.as files<br />and that way I have code completion that strictly work and sync with<br />the tamarin AS sources :)<br /><br />cheers,<br />zwetan<br /><br /><br />On Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 11:10 PM, Jono Spiro <member@adobeforums.com> wrote:<br />> A new message was posted by Jono Spiro in<br />><br />> Developers --<br />> injecting abc into a swc<br />><br />> There is no way to embed an ABC directly into the compile process; the ABC<br />> would need to be integrated into a SWC for your use case.
