Well, you could create a Flex Library project, and create a SWC for all
of your code that other projects rely on. This isn't quite as
convenient, and there appears to be some inconsistencies on how often
the SWC recompiles, but it would would.

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
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?
Cheers,
Nick
