Re: [Flashcoders] MTASC and spaces in classpath
Thanks guys, the flashout spaces issue was the problem. Right now I've abandoned eclipse/mtasc anyway, deadlines and all. But now I know how to get it working, I'll look into using it properly after this project, and explore Ant a bit more too.

I've read a post about it at http://www.pixelmotive.de/blog/archives/2005/06/fame_on_mac.php Basically what it says is to create a shell script that catches the call to mtasc then echoes the full mtasc command line into a seperate shell scripts and returns mtasc's output. Here is a shell script that works for me, you can save it anywhere and give it a name with the .sh extension make it executable like this chmod a+x locmtasc.sh and here is the shell script itself #!/bin/sh echo #!/bin/sh subc.sh echo /usr/local/bin/mtasc $@ subc.sh chmod a+x subc.sh ./subc.sh exit $? note that the shell will create a shell file for you, you don't need to create an empty one yourself. once this is done go in the Eclipse Preferences - Flashout in the Location of mtasc.exe enter the path to your locmtasc.sh : /Users/username/Documents/workspace/locmtasc.sh and voilà you sould be able to make Flashout work with mtasc The thing is that Eclipse adds quotes around the Macromedia Class Path, but it fails to parse correctly through Flashout.

[Flashcoders] MTASC and spaces in classpath
Hi all, I'm getting the error Class not found Support.Macromedia.Flash when my classpath is /Users/sam/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Flash 8/en/ Configuration/Classes Seems Mtasc doesn't like classpaths which have spaces in them on OS X, it tries to interpret the a directory name (such as Application Support, where the core classes are) as separate classes. I can't symlink because Eclipse sees a symlink as a file, and I can't use an alias because it isn't recognised as a folder even though I can browse into it. Any ideas?
