Thanks.
It looks like MXRoyale/SparkRoyale is causing ASDoc to fail.
I got it compile and work by commenting out all the MX and Spark stuff.
Can someone who’s been working on that, take a look?
How does this actually *work* though?
* It looks like it’s using asdoc.jar to do *something*. What that something is
and how it works, I don’t quite understand.
* The config files have a list of doc-namespaces. What’s the purpose of that?
* There is a list of exclude-sources. Why is that?
* How do we decide what goes into exclude-classes?
* What is the namespaces section used for?
One thing I’d like to fix is that none of the utility functions are appearing
in the ASDocs. Let’s take org.apache.royale.utils.array.rangeCheck for example:
We have the following entry in index.js.json:
{ "name": "rangeCheck",
"type": "Method",
"class": "org.apache.royale.utils.array",
"description": "Checks that an index falls within the allowable range of an
array."},
And we have the following in org.apache.royale.utils.array.rangeCheck.js.json:
{ "type": "method",
"qname": "org.apache.royale.utils.array.rangeCheck",
"namespace": "public",
"bindable": [],
"details": [],
"deprecated": {},
"description": "Checks that an index falls within the allowable range of an
array. Returns true if it's valid, false if not.",
"tags": [
{ "tagName": "playerversion",
"values": ["Flash 10.2", "AIR 2.6"]},
{ "tagName": "productversion",
"values": ["Royale 0.9"]},
{ "tagName": "langversion",
"values": ["3.0"]},
{ "tagName": "royalesuppressexport",
"values": []} ],
"return": "Boolean",
"params": [{ "name": "index", "type": "int"},
{ "name": "arr", "type": "Array"}]}
But there’s no reference anywhere else and it’s not actually a method of a
class.
Where would I look to try and fix this?
Also, there’s no docs for XML/XMLList. I see the following in the config files:
<!-- leave out XML. In the SWF compile it confuses the compiler
because
airglobal.swc also has an XML definition
<path-element>${frameworks_dir}/projects/XML/src/main/royale</path-element> -->
I’m curious if there’s some way around this. Maybe even to hard-code XML docs?
