[flexcoders] Re: Include images in SWC via compc
Are there any good (preferably GUI) tools for inspecting the contents
of SWCs and SWFs. My colleague is still having no luck building the
SWC that I now have working in FlexBuilder.
I have a feeling the key is understanding what Flexbuilder does when
you designate a file (eg "src" in my layout below) as the "main"
source folder. Is there a compc equivalent, or just the -source-path
option?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Include images in SWC via compc
You can inspect the contents of the SWC with WinRar or a similar tool. It is
just a zip-like container. Within it you will find at least 2 files:
library.swf - This swf contains all compiled information
catalog.xml - This file contains information about the contents of the swf
As for information about the swf, this is described pretty well in the
catalog.xml. If you want more information,
there are a few applications that can inspect the contents of an swf. Some
are even written in Adobe AIR.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Include images in SWC via compc
This was a useful tip. Thanks.
It appears that my Flexbuilder-generated SWC contains images in an
images directory. The compc-generated SWC has them at the top level
(using -include-file).
Is there any way compc can be persuaded to create the folder?
