[flexcoders] ASDoc and third party libraries
Those of you who use ASDoc from the Flex 3 SDK I'm sure have come across this before. If you use FlashDevelop and ASDoc - then even better as that is my setup (this is actually for a Flash CS3 project, but no matter). How do you handle running ASDoc on a Flash or Flex project where you are also using other third party libraries? If you run ASDoc on a project that uses a third party library like Greensock's TweenLite or Papervision3D, as I am, you can get all kinds of compiler errors because it tries to include those in the documentation as well (since they are imported into your classes), and those are not necessarily set up for ASDoc. I know in FlashDevelop, the Actionscript Documentation Generator has a field for classes to exclude - but it would be impossible to list out all those third party classes - is there a way to exclude an entire package? I have tried various forms of adding -exclude-dependencies but keep getting this error: Error: exclude-dependencies can not be used with doc-sources. And honestly, I'm not even sure how to use that flag correctly (if that's even the right flag at all). I tried adding a class name right after it but it couldn't find the class. Searching online for an hour has done no good. The documentation really stinks for ASDoc and so does the help system you can call with a -help flag. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] ASDoc and third party libraries
Hi. http://www.flashdevelop.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=13t=4555p=21134hilit=asdocs#p21134 This may be of some help, but, maybe also not enough info... Besides, I'd try looking at this plugin: http://www.flashdevelop.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=4t=4641 AFAIK elyon has made some include / exclude automation. Besides, I think you should be OK if you update only the ASDocs utility (while still compile with the older SDK). It actually got better in the last versions. Another idea - maybe look at NaturalDocs / ZenDocs. I think I saw someone made AS3 adapter for ZenDocs and NaturalDocs are quite generic to handle lots of languages and different documentation styles, besides, they generate valid HTML and, to my taste, just looks better. Best. Oleg
