Probably we should pass in both the class name and the boilerplate string. The class name is needed to tell the flex compiler the main class name, and the boilerplate might as well be hand constructed for maximum flexibility. > > Either way, it's a good plan. > - Don > On Nov 16, 2008, at 12:29 AM, Henry Minsky wrote: > > For the work on loadable libraries, I need to make the SWF9Generator > emit a different "application" class.
