In the past, there was a simple trick, to include the flex mxmlc
module by adding the following line to the flash-cs4 makefile:
-include-libraries “/absolute/path/to/my/assets/assets.swc”
This gave you the ability to use getDefinitionByName
, an helper function to access the embedded swc
asset-library (instead of creating hand-written classes all assets).
Unfortunately, this has stopped working since flash-cs4. Does anybody know another solution?
Unfortunately, the only workaround I have found is to explicitly refer each of asset classes somewhere in the code. You may create dummy class like this:
Specify this class as Document class in Flash IDE, so it will be compiled into the resulting swc. Then in the main code of your application call
After doing this you will be able to use getDefinitionByName().
