hi everybody,
yesterday i found a way to use javascript in an ant build file. i know
it would make more sense to write a task in java, but i know javascript
and gave it a try.
how to use javascript in ant is described here
http://www.sitepen.com/ant/javascript.html.
i have an ant property file in my flame folder like this
flame.mtasc = c:/molokai/app/flame/mtasc.exe
flame.mtasc.classpath = c:/Programme/Macromedia/Flash MX 2004/de/First
Run/Classes
flame.mtasc.target = main.swf
flame.mtasc.mainclass = Main.as
flame.swfmill = c:/molokai/app/flame/swfmill.exe
flame.naturaldocs = c:/molokai/app/naturaldocs/NaturalDocs.bat
this property file is registred in the global ant preferences.
the next thing is my build file (see attachments).
it has four important targets (clean, precompile,compile,documentation)
precompile creates a file called library.xml which contains recursively
all swf and png files in a given library folder and feeds swfmill with
this xml file.
the rules for ids are simple
/library/test.swf -> test_swf
/library/foo/test.png ->foo_test_png
ive created the buildfile with too much wine and it was quite late. but
i will clean it up and start document it this weekend.
If anyone is interested i would write a small tutorial how to set this
up and to use this.
one aspect still bothers me.
two different way of working with libraries
* we have a library folder with assets becoming an swf library with swfmill
* we have an fla file we use as an library.
it should be possible to switch between those two different workflows
via a simple property.
i would like to know how other flame programmers organise their files.
perhaps flame (osflash) could serve a coding guideline and a filehierarchy.
