I wonder if I'm alone in the experience of Flex Builder and Eclipse (v2.0.143459 plugin, Eclipse 3.2) trying to beat me senseless as I setup and build multiple SWF applications which share a single core actionscript framework folder?
O wise and nimble Flex Masters and Mistresses, please share a comment or perhaps a humbling gibe about the few beans I'm spilling. So for this multi-swf AS3 product the Main SWFs dynamically load other SWFs to save on user launch times. I first find Eclipse constraining (read: head-lock) me with an imposed file layout proscribed by the eclipse.org flexible-projects workspace management strategy discussed here: http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/flexible-projects-proposal.html .../framework/src/my/common/packages/... .../module1/Module1.as .../module2/Module2.as .../module3/Module3.as .../module4/Module4.as ... Does anyone else do this other than me? Eclipse, and FB2 to an extent, then block me (read as: multiple suflex body slams) when I try to stuff my modules inside or above my framework dir. So I relocate all the modules far far away from my framework and setup a Linked Resources path variable (Prefs -> General -> Workspace) pointing to the framework for each of my many many modules. Guess what happens next. At this point my compile is broken (all happiness is crushed). After I unbreak it via hand edits to .project and/or .actionScriptProperties, step-debugging is broken for stepping into the framework code, which I unbreak via guesswork and fiddling with IDE settings. To me I feel this "Linked Resources" project management feature is not yet fully supported in the latest version of Flex Builder and could be with a dot release (2.1?) of Flex Builder. Adobe experimentation with/evaluation of large-project "Linked Resource" behaviors could uncover eclipse's plugin features acting inconsistently, malfunctioning, and brutishly slamming innocent projects with folding metal chairs I believe. Am I alone when I use FB with hope of outputting multiple SWF's using a common code base? Does any other developer here have a story to share about writing apps with >1 SWF modules that share code with each other?
