RE: [flexcoders] Re: Schema files for mxmlc and compc config files

[Roger Gonzalez]

Glad it will help.   Note that "append" and "+=" work with any "list" config var.  Most of the time when you set a config var, it clears out the value set at a lower level...   defaults system properties flex-config.xml (other config files) command line   but if you use the "append" variants, it first grabs the existing value and then appends the new value that you set.  Very handy for library-path, external-library-path, source-path, load-config, etc.   This obviously doesn't mean anything for a single-value var (i.e. how do you append to "debug"?) but it will work on anything marked as "repeatable", as its equivilent to doing mxmlc -library-path=foo -library-path=bar.   Good luck,   -rg From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lance Linder Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 3:33 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Schema files for mxmlc and compc config files Thanks for the additional information Roger! I didn’t know about the += feature for overlaying config files. This will be really useful as I end up using 90% of the same settings as the defaults with exception of my compc config files which tend to get a little more involved to create. The append attribute is also a nice trick. Thanks! The auto load feature is something new to me as well. Until now I have been loading my config files with the –load-config attribute. These all some great tricks and will definitely make things a little more organized and a lot cleaner when working with the config files for me!

I somehow overlooked to have "dump-config" enabled on compc (will put this into a dot release) but the config files are pretty much identical (+/- the compc-specific values that you can find out about via compc -help as Renaun says below). You'll then generally want to use "mxmlc -load-config+=mycfg.xml" to compile.  Note the "+=", which says "don't nuke the existing default value of load-config (which points to the flex-config.xml file) just overlay these settings on top". Inside your config file, you can do the same sort of operation as += via the (undocumented?) "append" attribute: <library-path append="true">   <path-element>mylib.swc</path-element> </library-path> Of course, you can also use these config files by naming them myapp-config.xml (where myapp is the name of your mxml/as application) and have them automatically loaded: Given myapp-config.xml myapp.mxml mxmlc myapp.mxml will automatically load myapp-config.xml as if it were -load-config+=myapp-config.xml Enjoy, -rg From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Renaun Erickson Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 2:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Schema files for mxmlc and compc config files Have you tried: mxmlc -help list mxmlc -help advanced mxmlc -help syntax mxmlc -help aliases mxmlc -help details You can find alot of information from the executables themselves.
