If you want to create a SWF that doesnt use the Flex Framework:
--HelloWorld.as--
package
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class HelloWorld extends Sprite;
{
public funciton HelloWorld()
{
trace("Hello World");
}
}
}
Then compile like so:
mxmlc HelloWorld.as
That will compile a SWF.
If you want to use the Flex Framework, then you :
a. have to use the technique I describe below
b. have to take the size hit that using the framework entails
Hope that helps...

Hi again,
Thanks Mike for the info but could you explain it a little bit more or
point us to some place describing the process? I´m fairly sure I won´t
be the only one trying to create swfs without the Flex Framework.
I haven´t done the test yet (I will, sure) but, which is the less size
possible of a Flex application? I still have to take care about weight
size in some projects.
I know the Flex Framework is a boost for some applications (and free!)
but maybe it´s still too heavy for ultra-light projects.
Thanks,
